"I've been dreaming about checking in! I really hope I can be chosen!"
“I’ll definitely support it when it opens, just don’t set the price too high!”
"Oh my god, is there any way to prevent my girlfriend from seeing this video? My wallet won't be able to hold it anymore!"
"Don't think about it upstairs. This is the first video everyone opens. Your girlfriend will definitely be able to see it. Please move more bricks."
…
Chen Dongcheng will reply to interesting comments when he sees them, and as a result, every reply he makes will become a hot comment every minute.
The so-called nationwide collection of the most beautiful designs is just a publicity stunt, the purpose is to make Jiaoli Island popular.
Those who are really responsible for the design are famous foreign studios with rich experience in island design.
For example, Jean-Michel Getty, who just got off the plane, is a design master that Chen Dongcheng admires very much.
Getty has designed a total of nine hotels for Aman and is extremely prestigious in the industry.
There are many islands in the Maldives that he personally designed, such as the White Horse Hotel and the Reethi Ra Hotel.
It is no exaggeration to say that almost all the works designed by Getty are popular among internet celebrities.
Countless fans are eagerly awaiting his latest work.
After Li Changqing introduced the identities of both parties, Getty first looked at the island information.
Jiaoli Island is a medium-sized resort island. The number of villas on the island should not exceed 100. Too densely packed villas will affect the quality of Jiaoli Island.
Getty looked up and asked: "Mr. Chen, what are your thoughts about each villa?"
"I hope that each villa can have an independent private pool, a long slide directly into the sea, and a glass floor where you can see underwater creatures..."
Chen Dongcheng finished explaining his ideas and waited for Getty's reply.
After hearing this, Getty nodded: "What you mentioned has become standard equipment for luxury-class islands. I would like to know your budget."
Chen Dongcheng had previously understood the investment standards of resorts in the Maldives.
Generally speaking, $50 million is a watershed.
If you can invest 50 million US dollars, there is no problem in rating a luxury five-star island.
With an investment of around US$80 million, the six-star island is worthy of its name.
Those with an investment of more than 100 million US dollars are definitely qualified to compete for seven-star islands.
"One hundred million U.S. dollars can float to 50 million U.S. dollars."
Getty has seen the world and designed many hotels for Aman, but he was also a little amazed by the scale of Chen Dongcheng's handiwork.
If this news is released to the outside world, it will definitely attract the attention of countless Maldivian fans.
An island with a total investment of hundreds of millions of dollars is the first of its kind in the Maldives.
"You are a master in the hotel field. I hope that under your design, Jiaoli Island will have the opportunity to become the best hotel in the world."
Getty took a deep look at the young and overly young Chen Dongcheng and said with a smile: "Since you have such a big budget and want to be the best hotel in the world, I think the design can be more unrestrained."
"Tell me about it."
Chen Dongcheng looked forward to it. Getty was very famous in the hotel design industry and might be able to give him some surprises.
Getty took out the tablet he carried with him, flipped through it for a while and handed it to Chen Dongcheng.
“This is a draft of my previous design, which can be regarded as a sublimation of my White Horse Hotel.
In my opinion, the White Horse Hotel still has many flaws.”
Chen Dongcheng curled his lips, this is what Getty himself dared to say.
In the hotel world, Aman is a legend.
Although it is a niche, it has many die-hard fans.
When lvmh Group failed to acquire the Aman Hotel, it poached Getty.
The White Horse Hotel designed by Getty instantly put the Aman Group on pins and needles and almost threatened to lose its throne.
As soon as Getty got into working mode, he was very focused and talked endlessly about his design inspiration.
“I plan to design the longest sea slide in the Maldives for Jiaoli Island, which is about 23 meters.
Since we have enough budget, I want every guest in the villa to enjoy this elegance.
I found that there are four blue holes surrounding the island, which means that the snorkeling environment of Jiaoli Island is very good, and the snorkeling rating should be A.
Therefore, I plan to give the overall architecture on the island a fresh style with warm colors, and a little luxury in the details.
Design the roof into a geometric shape, which is both simple and stylish.
All villas are equipped with a private swimming pool about 20 meters long, designed with transparent glass.
Designing a wooden staircase leading to the crystal clear water next to the swimming pool will be very suitable for taking pictures.”
Getty suddenly paused and smiled: "Of course, these are far from enough, so I plan to design an undersea suite and undersea restaurant for Jiaoli Island that will make countless fans eager to check in."
Getty said as he observed Chen Dongcheng and found that Chen Dongcheng's expression did not change, so he continued to introduce.
"Of course it's not the first sea view restaurant in the Maldives, but I want to design the largest and deepest underwater restaurant for Jiaoli Island."
“According to my vision, the restaurant will be completed on land and then transported to Jiaoli Island and fixed about seven meters underwater.
I plan to name the restaurant seven.
After Seven Restaurant is completed, it will definitely become a holy place for Maldivian fans all over the world."
Getty also gave Chen Dongcheng a budget: "Ten years ago, the cost of building an underwater restaurant would have cost five million US dollars.
If you want to design an underwater restaurant that can accommodate thirty people without feeling crowded at all, it would cost at least fifteen million U.S. dollars."
The price is not expensive and is within his acceptable range.
If you want to compete for the Seven-Star Island, you must have an undersea restaurant.
Chen Dongcheng is more interested in the undersea suite mentioned by Getty.
I have never heard of any hotel offering underwater suites in the entire Maldives.
If Jiaoli Island can be the first to launch it, it will definitely be very popular.
The underwater suite is just an idea that Getty has always had.
Getty's tablet contains only some manuscripts, but through the manuscripts, we can already see the genius of this idea.
The double-story submarine suite is designed with a deck on the upper floor facing the sunset, providing an excellent viewing position.
Another deck facing the sunrise direction is equipped with an infinity swimming pool, which is amazing!
The design on the bottom layer is the most stunning.
It is located about five meters underwater, and the upper and lower floors are connected by a spiral staircase.
You can switch from below sea level to above sea level at any time.
The single-pane glass design means that even if you do something inappropriate for children in the room, you don’t have to worry about marine life staring at you.
Chen Dongcheng smiled knowingly and asked: "How much budget is needed to complete this submarine suite?"
"It's similar to an undersea restaurant. It can be built for 15 million US dollars.
I know of a company in New Zealand that is very good at aquarium technology and I could commission it from them.”
Getty is not sure whether Chen Dongcheng will accept these two designs.
For some resort hotels, US$30 million is enough to design all the designs on the island.
But in Getty's design, there is only enough space to build an undersea restaurant and undersea suites.
"I admire your design very much and hope that Jiaoli Island can complete its transformation in your hands."
Chen Dongcheng shook hands with Getty and entrusted Getty with the design and construction of Jiaoli Island.
Getty replied solemnly: "I guarantee with my reputation that the quality of Jiaoli Island will definitely surpass the White Horse Hotel."
In the eyes of many Maldives fans, no matter how they are ranked, White Horse Hotel must be the top one.
Getty naturally has his confidence in saying this.
With a total investment of US$100 million, Jiaoli Island will definitely amaze the world!
…
After the contract was signed and Chen Dongcheng returned to China, many netizens are still paying attention to the progress of Jiaoli Island.
Chen Dongcheng also selected the ten videos with the highest number of likes and announced the list.
"Oh my god, the design by the master with the most likes is so awesome, but will it really be adopted?"
"I think it's a bit whimsical. There are not many hotels in the world that have undersea suites. The cost is too high."
“I’m really looking forward to the designer from Jiaoli Island, but I don’t know who he is?”
"For such a good island, don't ruin the quality of the island by hiring some second-rate designers."
…
Chen Dongcheng read the comments and posted a video. The content of the video was a set of hotel photos.
Many netizens very cleverly guessed what Chen Dongcheng meant. These photos have one thing in common, they are all taken by Getty.
“Holy shit, the designer turned out to be a legend in the hotel design world, Jean-Michel Getty!”
"Please educate me, who is this big boss?"
"I just finished Baidu. The talented person who designed the White Horse Hotel, the royal designer of Aman, the man who almost made Aman lose its crown!"
During the lively discussion among the melon-eating crowd, Chen Dongcheng posted two more photos with the text: "Strike Seven Stars."
"Let me go, could this manuscript be an underwater restaurant?"
"Definitely, there are marine life outside, and when people sit at the dining table to eat, it is definitely an underwater restaurant."
"The one next to me is more awesome, okay? That's the undersea suite!"
“The undersea suite with an area of over 1,000 square meters, I really want to stay there for one night.”
“I really want to know the price, even though I can’t afford it.”
"@陈东成, send me the price!"
…
Seeing how curious the melon-eating crowd was, Chen Dongcheng replied to a netizen who asked about the price.
"The submarine suite costs US$15 million, and the price per night is US$50,000."
"Excuse me, I can't afford even 50,000 yuan a night!"
"Go away, if I can sell the landlord's house, I will definitely support him."
"Can the ten people who are drawn live in the submarine suite?"
Chen Dongcheng replied very quickly: "The ten selected users can each stay in the submarine suite for one night and enjoy the top butler service."
There is a lot of envy on the Internet, but on Douyin, you don’t have to worry about someone setting the pace.
As long as there is someone who deliberately stirs up trouble, the backend will monitor it at any time and his account will be banned as soon as possible.
It doesn’t matter if it’s being dictated on other platforms. On our own platform, we don’t just let Chen Dongcheng have the final say.
When Chen Dongcheng was bored and browsing Moments, he discovered that Wang Sicheng was very low-key during this period.
Even if he encounters a netizen who deliberately stirs up trouble, he should pretend he didn't see it, as it doesn't suit his temper.
As long as Wang Sicheng doesn't cause trouble, Chen Dongcheng doesn't bother to care about him and concentrates on taking care of his own affairs.
No matter how awesome Yida is, it has nothing to do with him.
If Lao Wang wants to target Chen Dongcheng, it might have some effect.
Wang Sicheng, he should be his richest son. After all, this is the last year.
