The research work on the Dream Paradise Resort lasted for a whole week.
During this week, Jiang Cheng finally witnessed Uncle Li's serious and rigorous work attitude. He brought a group of Xinghan Hotel executives, got up early and went to bed late, and almost went into every corner of the resort.
From large-scale facilities such as Hongwan Airport and Swan Harbor to individual rooms in small buildings such as restaurants and hotels, it can be said that the entire Dream Paradise Resort is thoroughly seen inside and out.
During this period, Jiang Cheng also joined Uncle Li and the others to hold several mobilization and deployment meetings.
The main content of the meeting involved the future operation, management, maintenance of the Dream Paradise Resort, as well as the subsequent land planning, development and construction. In short, it was very comprehensive.
Before this, Uncle Li was in charge of a large multinational conglomerate such as the Jiang Group, so he was obviously very familiar with the small Dream Paradise Resort.
Jiang Cheng had no interest in these boring things, so he simply stopped going and left everything to Uncle Li. He became a hands-off boss, driving his black car every day, taking the beautiful Guan Xiaofei for a ride around and touring the entire Emerald Island, looking very cool...
They visited from the volcanic pillars in the north to the deep sea blue holes in the south, and from the Angel Beach in the west to the Dream Bay in the east.
They also stayed in all the newly built sea view villas, palm suites and primitive cottages.
According to Guan Xiaofei's original words, they were trying out the sleep experience in order to give a fair evaluation and provide a basis for future improvements in the services of the Dream Paradise Resort.
As for Jiang Cheng, he had a pretty good time these days, um... Especially when he was diving in the blue hole and swimming in the lagoon with Guan Xiaofei.
This girl said she was here to see the scenery, but she brought a whole box of various swimsuits, one-piece, skirt-style, suspender-style, bikini... Well, Jiang Cheng had a great time.
Of course, the two of them were not only busy having fun, they also did a lot of serious work.
That is to shoot a set of landscape photo albums for Emerald Island.
This set of photo albums covers almost all of the most unique and purest natural scenery of Emerald Island, including the majestic grandeur of the volcanic columns, the beautiful romance of the Tail Beach, etc. It can be called a documentary blockbuster of the impression of Emerald Island.
As a British Royal RPS photographer, Guan Xiaofei has profound attainments in photography and has twice won the British RPS Annual Awards, which is a major award that plays an important role in the global photography field.
This time when they came to Emerald Island, Guan Xiaofei also brought a full set of photographic equipment. Accompanied by Jiang Cheng, a veteran driver, they climbed over mountains and crossed rivers, went up to the sky and into the sea, and after a lot of effort, they finally completed this set of precious record albums.
According to Guan Xiaofei's original words, she would use this set of photo albums to pursue her third annual awards trophy.
For photographers, especially experienced photographers like Guan Xiaofei, the most difficult thing to find is this kind of extreme scenery that can give people a flash of inspiration.
Some photographers even travel around the world to take ideal works, but the result is often a lot of effort with little gain, because although there are many beautiful scenery, inspiration and luck are also needed. If one of them is missing, the works will lack spirituality and fail to satisfy people.
But obviously, after arriving at Emerald Island and seeing the unique and spontaneous natural scenery, Guan Xiaofei was filled with inspiration and shot many satisfactory works effortlessly.
Moreover, regarding the next publicity plan, Guan Xiaofei assured Jiang Cheng that everything would be handed over to her and she would ensure that the best side of Emerald Island would be presented to the public and attract the attention of the world.
Jiang Cheng was also very happy to hear this.
He was still very relieved about Guan Xiaofei. She was the editor-in-chief of National Geographic magazine and a well-known celebrity on Weibo. She had a profound influence in the tourism and photography circles. Letting her handle this matter was undoubtedly the right choice.
…
Three days later.
A small Carnival passenger ship slowly sailed into Swan Harbor.
Jiang Cheng stood at the dock and waved goodbye to Guan Xiaofei, Uncle Li and some of the Xinghan Hotel's senior executives.
According to the division of labor they had previously agreed upon, Guan Xiaofei would return to China to do some preparatory work for the upcoming promotion of Emerald Island, while Uncle Li and the others would return to the Philippines to arrange the official relocation of the hotel.
The overall relocation of the Xinghan Hotel is not a trivial matter, and the matters involved are extremely complicated, so Uncle Li needs to go back in person to preside over it.
At present, senior executives from other hotels will continue to work step by step at the Dream Paradise Resort to make full preparations to welcome the first batch of tourists who will arrive soon.
In this way, the first mobilization and deployment plan was successfully completed.
…
After seeing Guan Xiaofei and the others off, Jiang Cheng rushed back to the villa without stopping and devoted himself to the construction of the second phase of the Dream Paradise Resort.
According to Uncle Li's request before he left, Jiang Cheng needed to do some supplementary construction work.
As soon as he returned to the villa, Jiang Cheng didn't even bother to rest. He took out his mobile phone and called up the construction system of the Tropico APP.
This investigation also made Jiang Cheng realize the many shortcomings of the Dream Paradise Resort, and some auxiliary buildings and facilities need to be further improved.
In addition, the most important thing is that in a while, a large number of Xinghan Hotel staff will arrive at Emerald Island.
Accommodation and living for so many people is a big problem.
According to what Jiang Cheng is thinking now, in order to enable these staff members to better serve Emerald Island, he decided to build a number of employee apartments and living facilities for them to facilitate their daily life and work.
Jiang Cheng moved his fingers, and in an instant, various apartments appeared before his eyes.
After some careful DIY assembly, a wavy building with a novel style and luxurious appearance appeared in Jiang Cheng's sight.
The exterior wall of the entire building is covered with a layer of dark blue Spanish tiles, which have no edges and corners, and change from light to dark, presenting a soft wave shape. From a distance, it looks like a vast and majestic sea surface standing upright, magnificent and colorful.
The top of the building is a huge spiral shape, like a whirlpool in the sea, and in the center of the whirlpool is a white bell tower in the shape of an anemone, which is very beautiful and classical.
[Name]：Small Batlló-style apartment
[Parameters]: Building height 42 meters, 18 floors, 4 elevators, 1 underground garage, 1 water and electricity system, 1 air conditioning system, 1 ventilation system, 1 other supporting facilities
[Area]: Building area 12,000 square meters, land area 1,120 square meters
Cost: US$2.85 million
[Time]: 3 days
In fact, a small residential apartment alone would not cost so much money, but in order to improve its aesthetics, Jiang Cheng spent a lot of time on the shape and style, which led to a sharp increase in the cost.
Such a residential apartment can probably only accommodate less than 1,000 people. According to the budget, the number of employees of the Xinghan Hotel that will soon move into the Dream Paradise Resort is as high as 7,000.
In view of this, Jiang Cheng built seven buildings with a stroke of his pen!
As for the construction location, Jiang Cheng chose a small bay in the south of the Dream Paradise Resort - near Shanghe Bay.
Shanghe Bay has not been developed yet, but the scenery is very nice. It has beaches, coconut groves, lagoons and other sea views. According to Jiang Cheng's idea, this small bay will be regarded as a welfare he gives to the employees of Emerald Island. In the future, more apartments and other living facilities will be built to facilitate the daily lives of employees.
The seven wave-shaped Casa Batlló buildings are lined up in the upper river bay. The unique scenery they create will surely become the iconic buildings here.
