Super Island Tycoon

Chapter 11: Chapter 11: Xinghan Hotel Group Moves In!

The phone call between grandfather and grandson took place in a relatively friendly atmosphere, and the conversation was quite harmonious, with only a few humorous names like ”you little bastard” and ”you old undead” tossed around.

Of course, they were just jokes.

In fact, the bond between the grandfather and grandson was exceptionally deep, and the phenomenon of ”generation-gap love” was vividly demonstrated in them.

Their conflicts actually arose after Jiang Cheng went to Hua Country to study.

A few years ago, Old Mr. Jiang sent Jiang Cheng to Yanjing University, the most prestigious institution in Hua Country, to develop him as a successor.

Unexpectedly, upon arriving in the bustling metropolis, Jiang Cheng got dazzled by the glamorous allure, and coupled with having lived a life of luxury from a young age and being handsome and charming himself, his lifestyle naturally became somewhat extravagant.

When the ambitious Old Mr. Jiang learned about these events, he was furious and immediately summoned Jiang Cheng back from Hua Country, then promptly threw him onto Jade Island.

Following a series of events, Jiang Cheng became the person he is now and possesses the Island Creation Divine Artifact app.

After a heartfelt conversation, the grandfather and grandson resolved their disputes, Old Mr. Jiang forgave and forgot, while Jiang Cheng agreed to reform himself and start anew.

Eventually, they reconciled and returned to the subject at hand.

Jiang Cheng reported to Old Mr. Jiang about the current development of Jade Island, revealing his plan in full, and expressed the need for a group of experienced workers to help him complete the plan to make Jade Island shine in the world.

Listening to Jiang Cheng’s seemingly unorganized report, Old Mr. Jiang seemed unable to comprehend it immediately, and silence ensued on the other end of the line, leaving unsure what the seasoned old man might be pondering.

Jiang Cheng didn’t dare disturb, he patiently waited, knowing these pieces of news were too shocking and needed some time to be digested.

After a long pause, the other end of the line finally echoed back, but what Jiang Cheng heard left him dumbfounded.

”You little bastard, are you fooling me again?”

Old Mr. Jiang’s tone carried a hint of skepticism, evidently deeply doubting Jiang Cheng’s so-called development plan.

However, all of Old Mr. Jiang’s doubts and skepticism vanished into thin air after Jiang Cheng sent over a few photos of the current Dream Paradise Resort with a helpless look.

The brand-new Hongwan Airport, the majestic Swan Port, the spectacular tidal power plant, and various modern architectural facilities were clearly displayed in front of him, rendering Old Mr. Jiang utterly speechless!

Clearly, all of these photos unmistakably indicated that Jade Island now was no longer the desolate island it once was but had truly become a flourishing and prosperous land!

Next, the problem became much simpler.

With the strong support of these tangible photos, Old Mr. Jiang finally believed in Jiang Cheng’s ability and firmly expressed his complete support for his grand plan.

Yet, he also expressed a slight curiosity over how Jiang Cheng managed to accomplish all this in such a short period.

Jiang Cheng excused himself by saying that during his studies in Hua Country, he witnessed the strong infrastructure capabilities of the nation, and everything on Jade Island now was actually constructed by commissioning Hua Country infrastructure companies.

It is well known that, in recent years, Hua Country, with the economic and technological boom, has rapidly enhanced its infrastructure capabilities, leading all indices—whether construction quantity, scale, speed—to world-leading levels, earning the title of ”Infrastructure Maniac,” a miracle in the world!

Old Mr. Jiang evidently had heard about this, so he dismissed his doubts.

After brushing aside this issue, they finally addressed the matter of staffing.

According to Old Mr. Jiang’s original wording, since Jade Island was initially purchased from the Philippines, their counterpart now demands repurchase but has been refused, making their Jiang Family’s hotel business suffer continuous suppression from the Philippine government, leading to severe operational difficulties, and they are preparing to implement a layoff plan.

Given that Jiang Cheng is short of staff here, they plan to resolve this swiftly by moving the entire Xinghan Hotel Group to Jade Island, aiming for resurgence!

Once they tidy up affairs there, they will transfer all Xinghan Hotel employees and business to Jade Island, fully supporting Jiang Cheng’s development plan!

Upon hearing these words from Old Mr. Jiang, Jiang Cheng instantly fell silent.

As the sole heir of the Jiang Group, he rarely gets involved in operational matters currently, but he is very familiar with Xinghan Hotel Group’s business.

No matter how lightly Old Mr. Jiang spoke of it, giving up just like that, Jiang Cheng believed that at the moment of making this decision, the old man must have felt deeply hurt inside.

Not just because Xinghan Hotel Group is one of the three major pillar industries of Jiang Group, but also because it symbolizes the lifetime efforts of the old man.

Xinghan Hotel was a chain hotel group built single-handedly by Old Mr. Jiang, with a business map that covers Southeast Asian countries like the Philippines, Malaysia, Cambodia, and manages hundreds of high-end hotels across over ten Southeast Asian nations under it.

Founded in the 1990s, Xinghan Hotel expanded from an ordinary family inn to the current hundreds of high-end hotels spread across major cities in Southeast Asia in less than 40 years, becoming one of the largest-scale hotels in Southeast Asia, bringing over 1 billion USD in wealth to Jiang Family annually!

And from the name ”Xinghan,” it can be seen that Old Mr. Jiang had a mind to promote the reputation of Chinese people to the world’s top ranks, hoping to someday stand alongside those internationally renowned hotel enterprises like Hilton, Accor, Marriott, Intercontinental, etc.

However, it appears that Old Mr. Jiang’s noble dream is about to be shattered.

With the overall relocation of Xinghan Hotel to Jade Island, it indicates a fresh start, and its 40-year foundation of operations in the Philippines and Southeast Asia will be uprooted.

To be reborn by amputation is no easy feat.

Nonetheless, Jiang Cheng holds a different opinion on this.

Xinghan Hotel Group was established by his grandpa himself, and the employees within are highly reliable, moreover, their business experience is extremely rich, which is exactly what he needs most at the moment.

Furthermore, the development of Jade Island involves not only the Dream Paradise Resort city but is intended to expand to other resorts and even the three main urban areas in the future, being able to fully accommodate the entire Xinghan Hotel Group’s business as the scale enlarges.

Hence, the relocation of Xinghan Hotel Group to Jade Island is equivalent to seizing an opportunity ahead.

Jade Island is indeed a juicy morsel, capable of helping Xinghan Hotel Group achieve a second rise, regain glory, and even having the potential to become an internationally renowned hotel industry giant with Jiang Cheng’s help.

For now, although Xinghan Hotel has developed well around Southeast Asia, there is still a noticeable gap from those world-class hotels.

Thus, with the bright future of Jade Island plus his Black Technology System, Jiang Cheng is fully confident that he can carry forward his grandfather’s wish, elevating Xinghan Hotel Group to new heights, entering the ranks of top international hotels!
