From the very beginning, Dream Paradise Resort was positioned by Jiang Cheng to be developed into a world-famous vacation paradise, rivaling even surpassing international renowned tourist destinations.
Maldives, the "Mortal Necklace" on the Indian Ocean, Seychelles, the "World Beyond Fairyland", Fiji, the "Lost Pearl" in the South Pacific, Santorini, the "Blue and White Holy Land" along the Aegean Sea...
These globally celebrated luxury islands not only possess naturally charming landscapes but also host the world's most expensive hotels, restaurants, providing top-tier private services, giving visitors an exclusive sense of prestige.
In terms of island scenery, Jade Island doesn't fall short compared to these vacation paradises, and may even surpass them.
Because those islands, in the initial phases of development, lacked long-term consideration and scientific planning among various reasons, their pristine scenery suffered varying degrees of damage, making it too late for recovery afterward.
Jade Island is quite the opposite; it's a piece of the purest, most original, even untouched earthly paradise.
Under Jiang Cheng's foresight, careful planning, and the support of the black technology system, the development and construction of Jade Island are implemented under the principle of "no destruction, no overdevelopment," to retain its most primitive natural scenery to the greatest extent.
So, just from this aspect, Jade Island's island scenery is sufficient to outshine those vacation paradises that have been transformed by "humans' dirty hands."
Currently, the only thing lacking is the highest level of service.
To provide the most extraordinary service, naturally, requires the highest quality service personnel, but where could he find them?
The system surely can't be relied upon, even though it can produce a batch of automated service robots, whether they work efficiently or not, they certainly lack "personality."
Moreover, letting a bunch of robots entertain guests can't guarantee attentive and enthusiastic service and might even end up tarnishing his own reputation.
Jiang Cheng frowned deeply, his brow almost forming the shape of a "川."
After a while, when he casually exited the Island Tycoon app, the Contacts app came into his view all of a sudden.
"Ha ha…"
The next moment, Jiang Cheng suddenly laughed out like a pig!
"How could I be so stupid?"
"Huh??"
Jiang Cheng asked himself, uttering a sentence of reflection.
About his current status… he is not only an island owner but also the grandson of the richest Chinese Filipino in the Philippines!
"How could I have forgotten about that?"
"Now there's a way!"
It seems this matter can only trouble the old patriarch of his family.
Speaking of which, Old Mr. Jiang, after leaving Jiang Cheng in Jade Island, has been completely ignoring him, intending for him to fend for himself.
For some reason, Old Mr. Jiang had always been disappointed in Jiang Cheng, so not long ago, he specially had someone leave him in Jade Island to live an early primitive life like the Stone Age.
The old patriarch's original intention was surely to train the originally laid-back Jiang Cheng, preparing him to take over the Jiang Group, without expecting Jiang Cheng to truly develop Jade Island well.
However, the opposing party surely didn't anticipate that Jiang Cheng, with a black technology system, could transform Jade Island into a top-tier vacation destination in such a short time.
Thinking about this, Jiang Cheng excitedly opened the contacts and immediately saw a familiar number at the top, with the note: Dead Old Man.
At this very moment, on the land 630 nautical miles across Jade Island...
Philippines.
Mindanao Island, Victoria Manor.
Victoria Manor, located in the suburbs of Davao City, spans 218 acres and is called the "Long Oasis" on Davao Bay, the most expensive property in Davao City.
In the early 19th century, during Spanish colonial rule, it was once the residence of Victoria, the Spanish Governor of the Philippines.
In this manor full of Western flavor, there are artificial lakes, rivers, habitats for primitive wildlife, livestock farms, hunting grounds, shooting ranges, golf courses, and vineyards.
However, this once-glorious noble estate now serves as the residence of the Jiang Clan—the richest Chinese family in the Philippines.
In the central dome castle, a gracefully decorated, spacious study with an air of sophistication, the current head of the Jiang Clan, Jiang Zhenyong, was examining the quarterly financial report seriously.
Though nearing his seventies, there are no traces of age on Old Mr. Jiang's face, he remains energetic and charismatic.
In front of the desk, a middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses stood respectfully, calmly watching Old Mr. Jiang.
The man has a refined appearance, with a noble temperament that exudes an authoritative aura, seemingly someone who resides in a high position.
Finally, Old Mr. Jiang moved his gaze from the report, his eyes deep, looking up at the man and saying: "Zhiyuan, it seems because of Jade Island matters, our Jiang Group's various business sectors have indeed been heavily impacted!"
"Yes! According to the financial report, Xinghan Hotel Group was most severely affected; its market value has almost halved, now having no choice but to start the layoff plan early."
The middle-aged man responded softly, then added: "Chairman, as far as I know, the business we lost has almost been swallowed by Celestial Brilliance Group, should we take some countermeasures?"
"No need! I know Wu Tianyao's character; he doesn't have the guts or the strength, mostly it's the intention of the upper layers of the Philippines."
Old Mr. Jiang shook his head, his wise eyes flashing a hint of meaning.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man slightly frowned, thought for a moment, and hesitated as he said: "The Wu Family, years ago, scattered to the Philippines, it was our support that brought them to today, yet he now betrays us, colluding with the upper layers of the Philippines to strike at us. Chairman, you are truly too merciful!"
"Ha ha…"
Old Mr. Jiang didn't respond to the man's words, still wearing the same gentle smile.
Seeing Old Mr. Jiang's demeanor, the man stopped persuading and instead remembered something else, saying: "Oh, by the way, Chairman, are you really planning to let the young master stay on Jade Island? That's a tumultuous place, can he handle it alone?"
"Hm, this lad lived too carefree before, letting him stay on that island for a while might hone him; young people need to go through some trials to grow. Back then, when we went to the South Seas together, how much disdain from Western Ghost did we endure before obtaining everything we have today."
Upon mentioning Jiang Cheng, Old Mr. Jiang seemed rather annoyed, showing a resentful expression.
Listening, the middle-aged man pondered and nodded, then spoke: "The young master previously studied in Hua Country, influenced by the environment, he might have lived a bit carefree; however, I always felt…"
As the man was speaking, he was suddenly interrupted by a phone ring; he glanced at the phone and quickly handed it to Old Mr. Jiang, smiled slightly: "Chairman, it's the young master calling."
"Ha ha… this brat looks like he can't handle it anymore."
Upon hearing the man's words, the old man seemed pleased too, smiling as he took the phone, then suddenly his face turned stern as he answered the call: "Hello, I'm Jiang Zhenyong."
On the other side, hearing the authoritative voice from the phone, Jiang Cheng couldn't help but roll his eyes with a helpless look.
This dead old man, still talks in such a cold tone!
Jiang Cheng didn't believe the opposite didn't know it was him calling, the reason for saying such words must be intentional!
However, knowing the other's temper, Jiang Cheng wouldn't argue with a senior, besides, he needed the other's help!
Hence, the next moment, Jiang Cheng played the grandson role, responding doggedly: "Hello, Grandpa, it's me, Xiao Cheng!"
