The secretary was trembling and did not dare to speak.
Wang Sicheng spent a long time, suppressing his anger and said: "Tell the St. Regis Hotel that my birthday party has been moved to another place. Are there any new islands opened in the Maldives recently?"
"Yes, but in terms of service, it may not be as good as St. Regis Hotel."
The St. Regis Hotel ranks first among the recently opened islands.
Otherwise, Wang Sicheng would not have chosen the St. Regis among so many island resort hotels.
The secretary observed Wang Sicheng's face and asked, "How about I contact the White Horse Hotel or Soneva Jani Island for you?"
In terms of popularity, these two hotels must surpass St. Regis Hotel.
But Wang Sicheng couldn't swallow that breath, so he sent invitation letters to all the guests one after another.
Wouldn't it be a slap in the face to change the hotel now?
When did Wang Sicheng ever miss money?
The son of the richest man needs a discount?
Wang Sicheng's expression changed, and he took out his cell phone and dialed a number.
"It's me. How much did Chen Dongcheng spend on his birthday?"
"It seems to be tens of millions, right?"
Wang Sicheng said dissatisfied: "What does it mean? I want a specific number, you go and find out."
After speaking, Wang Sicheng hung up the phone directly.
After a while, the phone rang again. Wang Sicheng picked it up with a hesitant look on his face: "You said he spent 100 million?"
"This is what I heard from a friend. The room fee alone cost more than 40 million.
We also chartered several private jets for travel, and the scene was very big, causing a sensation in the entire Malé International Airport.
Champagne is all shipped by air. I bought four bottles of the 30L bottle of Ace of Spades, which cost one million US dollars.
Needless to say, there are other drinks and catering expenses.
By the way, he also invited Martin Garrix and skrillex.
It was a lot of fun, and the appearance fee was one million US dollars."
The guy said it in detail, but the meaning behind his words was a bit regretful.
For rich second generation people like them, that kind of scene is extremely embarrassing.
After all, the videos you see online are just the tip of the iceberg.
Only by experiencing it yourself can you feel how exciting it is.
Wang Sicong didn't listen to what the person on the other end continued to say. After hanging up the phone, he ordered his secretary.
"The hotel must be changed, and you have to arrange the flight.
In addition to my Gulfstream G550, please calculate the number of aircraft that can accommodate guests and report the total rental amount to me."
“The service level of the hotel you choose should not be worse than the St. Regis Hotel. Give priority to the White Horse Hotel.”
"I didn't purchase enough champagne before. Please contact me again. I want ten bottles of 30 liters of champagne."
…
After saying many things in succession, Wang Sicheng sent the secretary away without caring whether he remembered it or not.
Wang Sicheng frowned. In principle, he did not want to have any conflict with Chen Dongcheng.
But under the current circumstances, he had no choice but to take this stance.
Isn’t that just spending money?
When it comes to this, he has never convinced anyone.
Wang Sicheng could easily handle these things by using some of his connections.
As long as you are willing to spend money, nothing is difficult.
Wang Sicheng basically followed the standards of Chen Dongcheng's birthday party, adding a few extras here and there, and the total budget was well over 100 million.
Damn, my flesh hurts!
Wang Sicheng is not short of money, but spending more than 100 million on a birthday is painful.
The service at the White Horse Hotel is still very good. Apart from the fact that it opened a few years earlier than the St. Regis Hotel, there are no other problems.
Wang Sicheng's birthday party has undoubtedly been a hot search topic in the New Year's Eve days.
"The budget for Wang Sicheng's birthday party exceeds that of Chen Dongcheng."
"The richest man is superior in skills. Wang Sicheng said it was just a birthday celebration and there was absolutely no intention of comparison."
"Cao Cao Group refused to respond to the two people's birthday party, saying that it was Chen Dongcheng's personal matter and had nothing to do with the company's business."
…
The melon-eaters set up small benches and watched with great interest as Chen Dongcheng and Wang Sicheng showed off their wealth.
In the past, I had always watched Wang Sicheng's various showmanship, but now I finally saw someone who could compete with Wang Sicheng.
"I stand with Chen Dongcheng. After all, he started his own business and accumulated his current net worth."
"Wang Sicheng also started his own business, he just set five small goals."
"I don't believe that Chen Dongcheng didn't use his family's money to start a business!"
"You are nibbling steamed buns, eating pickled mustard, and worrying about the lives of rich people. Are you free?"
"It's a bit salty, but at least I still have a keyboard."
"Principal Wang is still very impressive, and there are so many Internet celebrities and beauties around him."
"I bet that if Wang Sicheng changes his girlfriend, he still can't get rid of the internet celebrity face."
…
Of course Chen Dongcheng knows about Wang Sicheng's birthday, and it's not like he doesn't have Wang Sicheng's WeChat account.
It's just that Wang Sicheng had no interest in responding to Wang Sicheng's deliberate comparison.
After his birthday, he was busy renting an island.
Why rent an island?
If Chen Dongcheng wants to go on vacation in the future, he can clear the place at any time without having to worry about his privacy being leaked.
Besides, renting an island in the Maldives is not expensive, what is expensive is the investment cost.
Chen Dongcheng had an idea and the think tank broke his legs.
Li Changqing and the others helped Chen Dongcheng choose among undeveloped islands for a long time, and settled on an island located in Baa Atoll.
Baa Atoll is the most magical atoll in the Maldives.
Any tourist can choose randomly in this circle with almost closed eyes.
No matter which hotel they choose, they can make their trip worthwhile.
This atoll is listed as a marine life protection zone of the United Nations Natural Heritage Organization. It is an atoll where manta rays and whale sharks frequently appear.
Draw a circle around Baa Atoll, all luxury islands.
One of the islands photographed by Chen Dongcheng happens to be located in this atoll.
The island has a circumference of 1,450 meters and is a medium-sized resort island.
Li Changqing explained and analyzed the investment policies of the Maldives to Chen Dongcheng.
"Boss, you need to register an investment company and lease this uninhabited island from the Maldives government.
According to the regulations of the local tourism bureau, we need to pay US$6.6 million to obtain the development rights of this uninhabited island for the next 49 years.
As soon as the hotel or resort is completed and begins operations, we can apply to the Maldives government for an extension of another 50 years."
Chen Dongcheng chuckled and said: "The Maldives government made a good plan."
There are more than a thousand islands in the Maldives, but less than a hundred islands are actually developed and utilized.
The ability to turn so many deserted islands into treasures is all thanks to foreign tourists.
Li Changqing smiled and nodded: "Who says otherwise? If you choose some desert islands with poor locations, the price will be cheaper, but I don't recommend that you choose that way.
Since you are planning to invest in a hotel, you must at least aim for a six-star luxury hotel.
A general luxury hotel, excluding the hotel's self-promotion, at least has basic facilities such as beaches and snorkeling, and at least double B
The above will do.
All islands that meet this standard have been detected in advance by the Maldives Tourism Bureau.
We all think that choosing an island in Baa Atoll is a very cost-effective investment.
With your influence, boss, there will definitely be no shortage of passenger traffic after the island officially opens."
If Lao Ma invests in an island in the Maldives and stays there for half a month every year, there will definitely be many tourists coming there.
Chen Dongcheng invests in hotels not just to make money, but more to facilitate his own enjoyment.
There were no problems on Chen Dongcheng's side, and Li Changqing communicated more smoothly with the Maldives side.
A staff member from the Maldives Tourism Bureau asked: "What do you plan to name this unknown island?"
"Jiaoli Island."
Li Changqing replied with a smile.
The staff member smiled: "It's a good name."
After that, enter the name of Jiaoli Island and record it in the tourist bureau’s file.
Li Changqing shrugged. Who dares to object to the name decided by the boss?
After all the procedures are completed, Jiaoli Island will belong to Chen Dongcheng for the next 49 years.
Chen Dongcheng has heard the name of Jiaoli Island before, but that island is definitely not in Baa Atoll.
Douyin is working hard to digest the sudden increase in users during this period. Hong Jun really couldn't believe it when he saw the current number of users.
There are 200 million registered users, and the number of online users exceeded 100 million on the day of the draw.
As soon as the lottery results were announced, it instantly became a hot search topic on all platforms.
1219 lucky people, envied by countless users.
The lucky winner posted a screenshot of his empty shopping cart, which made countless netizens want to replace him.
Chen Dongcheng’s Douyin account has tens of millions of fans without any difficulty.
The number one Internet celebrity on Douyin turned out to be his own boss, which made Hong Jun laugh.
"Mr. Hong, Director Chen said that he sent you a video to recommend to Douyin users."
The secretary knocked on the door and reminded Hong Jundao.
Hong Jun was stunned for a moment and quickly unlocked his phone. After watching the video, he felt ecstatic again.
"Hurry up and let Mr. Zhong do it."
Hong Jun rubbed his hands in excitement and took a deep breath to control his emotions.
The content of the video is very simple. Chen Dongcheng solicits island design drawings from all Douyin users.
They can send videos and show off the island designs they think are the most perfect.
Among them, the one with the highest likes will be qualified for a five-day trip to Jiaoli Island, and enjoy the private jet + top-notch services of the six-star island throughout the entire journey.
The video was recommended to users, and the comment area exploded.
"Damn it, Mr. Chen bought an island?!!!"
"Compared to Wang Sicheng's Baohai Island, this wave of operational performance is amazing!"
"Give Mr. Chen a crazy call. I have learned some design skills, and I hope I can be chosen by Mr. Chen."
"It's finally a bit difficult this time. You don't have to rely solely on luck. I will never be a chief in my life."
…
Wang Sicheng had not been happy for two days when Chen Dongcheng threw another bomb at him with his backhand, which made him feel dizzy.
Buying an island is a small sum of money, but developing an island is a big sum of money.
Otherwise, how could the Maldives Authority price the island so low?
They only collected US$6.6 million in 1949. They don't care about that rent at all.
What they are eager for is so many companies investing in the Maldives to drive tourism and the country's GDP.
What's even better about Chen Dongcheng's operation is that he didn't spend a penny and once again gained a lot of popularity.
Jiaoli Island didn't even have a design drawing, but it was already very popular in China.
Especially this sense of participation from scratch has made a large number of netizens very interested.
Chen Dongcheng cooperated and posted a panoramic view of the island on Douyin.
Although it is a desert island, the natural landscape on the island is no worse than other islands.
In particular, whale sharks and manta rays often appear, and the water is clear and the sand is white, which is simply beautiful!
