At SANTOS Holdings, under the leadership of our founder and Chairman, Richard Du, we are excited to introduce Blue Ocean—an innovative project designed to promote health and happiness through engaging and refreshing games. Our mission is rooted in the belief that play should foster connections, well-being, and joy, all within a vibrant community setting.
We have intentionally chosen to exclude video games from our sports center, as we recognize the potential negative impacts they can have on relationships and individual mental health. In today’s fast-paced world, where screen time often replaces meaningful interactions, we seek to create a sanctuary that encourages face-to-face engagement and active participation. Our vision is to provide a welcoming space where individuals of all ages can come together, enjoy themselves, and form lasting connections in a supportive environment.
Blue Ocean is not just a project; it is a celebration of the rich history of Chinatown, New York. This historic neighborhood has long been a hub of culture, community, and resilience. By infusing our center with the spirit of Chinatown, we aim to honor its legacy while also contributing positively to its future. We see Blue Ocean as a bridge that connects the past with the present, fostering a sense of belonging and community pride among residents and visitors alike.
In essence, our commitment to promoting health and happiness through engaging games aligns perfectly with our vision for a thriving community. We believe that by providing an alternative space free from video games, we can cultivate an environment that nurtures relationships, reduces anxiety, and ultimately enhances the quality of life for everyone involved.
Our decision to establish Blue Ocean at 100 Division Street in Chinatown is both strategic and advantageous. This vibrant neighborhood offers a unique blend of convenience and accessibility, attracting tourists, financial professionals, and local residents alike. Its proximity to Williamsburg, Brooklyn, and Queens further enhances its appeal, making it an ideal location for our sports center.
Situated in Lower Manhattan, our center is also positioned within an area that supports residents impacted by health issues, particularly those affected by cancer. With an average compensation payout of $250,000 from a $9 billion fund (vcf.gov), we recognize the opportunity to contribute positively to the community’s well-being. By promoting health and happiness through engaging activities, Blue Ocean aims to alleviate some of the suffering within the Chinatown community and foster a sense of resilience and joy.
Choosing Chinatown for Blue Ocean allows us to engage with a diverse and high-impact community. This strategic move not only enables us to reach a broad audience but also positions us to make a meaningful difference in the lives of many. To ensure the success and profitability of our venture, we are committed to developing a robust financial business plan inspired by the successful McDonald’s model, which emphasizes revenue generation through real estate holdings. By implementing this approach, we aim to achieve financial sustainability while delivering positive outcomes for the community we serve.
