The conversation between the grandfather and grandson was conducted in a relatively friendly atmosphere. The conversation was quite harmonious, with only a few words of endearment such as "you little bastard" and "you old man" appearing at most.
Of course, it's all just a joke.
In fact, the relationship between the grandfather and grandson is very deep, and the concept of "greater-generation kinship" is fully reflected in them.
The conflicts between them actually arose after Jiang Cheng went to study in China.
A few years ago, in order to train a successor, Mr. Jiang sent Jiang Cheng to Yenching University, the most prestigious university in China, to study there.
But who would have thought that when he first arrived in the bustling metropolis, Jiang Cheng was dazzled by the flowers and plants there. In addition, he had been living a life of luxury since childhood and he was handsome and charming, so naturally his life was a bit extravagant.
When Mr. Jiang, who hoped his grandson would become a successful person, learned about these things, he became furious. He immediately recalled Jiang Cheng from China and threw him into Emerald Island.
After a series of events, Jiang Cheng became the current Jiang Cheng and owned the island-building artifact Tropico APP.
After a heart-to-heart talk, the grandfather and grandson resolved their misunderstanding. Grandpa Jiang let bygones be bygones, and Jiang Cheng promised that the other party would reform himself and start a new life.
In the end, the two reconciled, had a pleasant conversation, and got straight to the point.
Jiang Cheng reported to Mr. Jiang on the current development status of Emerald Island, laid out his development plan, and proposed that he needed a group of experienced staff to help him complete the plan of making Emerald Island a shining world.
After listening to Jiang Cheng's incoherent report, Mr. Jiang seemed unable to accept it for a moment. The other end of the phone fell into silence for a long time. No one knew what this old man, who had seen a lot of ups and downs, was thinking.
Jiang Cheng did not dare to disturb him and just waited patiently. He knew that the news was too shocking and it would take some time to digest.
After a long time, there was finally an echo from the other end of the phone, but Jiang Cheng was very upset when he heard it.
"You little bastard, are you lying to me again?"
There was a hint of doubt in Mr. Jiang's tone, and he clearly had deep doubts about Jiang Cheng's so-called development plan.
However, all of Mr. Jiang's suspicion and doubt disappeared after Jiang Cheng sent him a few photos of the current state of the Dream Paradise Resort with a helpless look on his face.
The brand new Hongwan Airport, the majestic Swan Harbor, the spectacular tidal power plant, and various modern buildings and facilities were clearly displayed before his eyes, leaving Mr. Jiang completely speechless!
Obviously, all these photos clearly show that the Emerald Island today is no longer the deserted island it used to be, but has become a prosperous and beautiful place!
Then, the problem becomes much simpler.
With the strong support of these real photos, Mr. Jiang finally believed in Jiang Cheng's ability and expressed his full support for his grand plan unwaveringly.
However, he also expressed a little curiosity about how Jiang Cheng could do all this.
How did Jiang Cheng develop Emerald Island to its current level by himself in such a short time
In response to this, Jiang Cheng used the excuse that when he was studying in China, he witnessed the powerful infrastructure capabilities of his motherland, and everything that Emerald Island has today was actually built by a Chinese infrastructure company.
As we all know, in recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy and technology, its infrastructure strength has been rapidly improved. Whether in terms of construction quantity, scale, speed, or various indicators, it is at the world's leading level. It has earned the reputation of "infrastructure maniac" and can be called a world miracle!
Mr. Jiang had obviously heard about this a long time ago, so he dispelled his doubts.
After this matter was evaded, the two finally talked about the staff issue.
According to Mr. Jiang's original words, because Emerald Island was originally purchased from the Philippines, and the other party's request for a repurchase was rejected, the Jiang family's current hotel business is suffering from continued suppression by the Philippine government, and its operations are facing serious difficulties, and they are preparing to implement a layoff plan.
Since Jiang Cheng is short of manpower, he might as well cut the Gordian knot and move the entire Xinghan Hotel Group to Emerald Island in an attempt to make a comeback!
Once they have dealt with all the affairs over there, they will transfer all the employees and business of the Xinghan Hotel to Emerald Island to fully support Jiang Cheng's development plan!
After hearing what Mr. Jiang said, Jiang Cheng fell silent for a moment.
As the only heir to the Jiang Group, although he rarely participates in business affairs at present, he is very familiar with the business of the Xinghan Hotel Group.
Although Mr. Jiang said it easily and gave up just like that, Jiang Cheng believed that the old man must have felt very uncomfortable in his heart at the moment he made this decision.
Not only because the Xinghan Hotel Group is one of the three pillar industries of the Jiang Group, but also because it embodies the old man's life's work.
Xinghan Hotel is a hotel chain group established by Mr. Jiang. Its business scope covers Southeast Asian countries such as the Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia, etc. It operates hundreds of high-end hotels in more than a dozen countries in Southeast Asia.
The Xinghan Hotel was founded in the 1990s. In less than 40 years, it has expanded from an ordinary family-run hotel to hundreds of high-end hotels today, spread across major cities in Southeast Asia. It has become one of the largest hotels in Southeast Asia, bringing more than 1 billion US dollars in wealth to the Jiang family every year!
From the name "Xinghan", we can tell that Mr. Jiang must want to push the reputation of Chinese people to the top ranks in the world, and hope that in the future it can be on par with those internationally renowned hotel companies such as Hilton, Accor, Marriott, and InterContinental.
However, at present, it seems that Mr. Jiang’s lofty dream is about to be shattered.
The overall relocation of the Xinghan Hotel to Emerald Island means starting from scratch, and its 40-year foundation in the Philippines and even Southeast Asia will be uprooted.
How easy is it to be reborn after losing an arm
However, Jiang Cheng has a different opinion on this.
Xinghan Hotel Group was founded by his grandfather. The employees there are very reliable and have rich business experience, which is exactly what he needs most at the moment.
In addition, the development of Emerald Island not only involves the Dream Paradise Resort, but will be expanded to other resorts and even the three main urban areas in the future. Once the scale is expanded, it will be able to swallow up the business of the entire Xinghan Hotel Group.
Therefore, Xinghan Hotel Group's relocation to Emerald Island is equivalent to taking the lead.
Emerald Island is a piece of fat meat. With the help of Jiang Cheng, Xinghan Hotel Group can achieve a second rise and regain its glory. It even has the potential to become an internationally renowned hotel industry giant.
At present, although Xinghan Hotel has developed very well in Southeast Asia, there is still a clear gap between it and the world's top hotels.
Therefore, relying on the bright future of Emerald Island and his own high-tech system, Jiang Cheng is fully confident that he can carry forward his grandfather's wish and take the Xinghan Hotel Group to a higher level and become one of the world's top hotels!
