IAG SEP 2020年9月 亞博匯 18 亞博匯早報 BREAKFAST BRIEFS JAPAN’S PIXEL COMPANYZ NAMES EUROPEAN CASINO OPERATOR GROUPE PARTOUCHE AS NEW IR PARTNER 日本PIXEL COMPANYZ宣佈與歐洲賭場 運營商GROUPE PARTOUCHE組成新的IR合作夥伴 JAPANESE FINTECH AND RENEWABLE ENERGY FIRM PIXEL COMPANYZ has announced French casino operator Groupe Partouche as its newconsortiumpartner to develop an integrated resort in Japan. The two will work together alongside other unnamed consortium partners to plan, develop and operate a “premier integrated resort in Japan.” The consortium, Pixel added, “aims to develop an IR unique to Japan that will highlight the tourism assets, food culture, brands and the hospitable culture that the country has to offer.” Pixel didn’t reveal exactly where it will pursue an IR bid, but the most likely location is Nagasaki given the smaller scale of the proposed development. Partouche, which operates 42 casinos in Europe, also briefly entered into a preliminary MOU with Hong Kong-listed Oshidori International Holdings to pursue an IR bid, before terminating the partnership in May due to “differences in vision and strategies.” Oshidori has since committed itself to bidding in Nagasaki. 日本金融科技和可再生能源公司Pixel Companyz 宣 布，法國賭場運營商Groupe Partouche將作為其新的 財團合作夥伴，競逐在日本開發綜合度假村（IR）。 這兩家公司將與其他未透露名稱的財團合作夥 伴，計劃、開發和運營「日本首屈一指的綜合度假村」。 該財團表示：「我們旨打在打造一個日本獨有的綜 合度假村，以突出該國的旅游資產、飲食文化、獨有品 牌和好客文化。」 Pixel並未確切透露它將在哪裡進行IR投標，但鑑 於其擬議的開發規模較小，Pixel最有可能選擇地點是 長崎。 在歐洲運營著42家賭場的Partouche，曾短暫地 與在香港上市的威華達控股（Oshidori International Holdings）簽署了初步諒解備忘錄，以尋求IR競標，但 於5月終止合作關係，理由是「願景和戰略上的差異」。 此後，威華達一直尋求在長崎競標。
