The water house and plank road on Jiaoli Island are the highest in Madai, which avoids the noise and safety issues caused by the waves at night.
There are trailing sandbars in front and behind the water house. When the tide is low, you can walk directly to the bottom of the water house.
The island is still under construction. In order to protect the surrounding snorkeling environment, great care is taken during construction.
Getty has been circling Jiaoli Island this year, and this event will be no exception.
Chen Dongcheng and the others arrived by chance, as the underwater restaurant had been put underwater just two days ago.
After rigorous testing, it can be put into use at any time.
The submarine suite will also be shipped next month and put into use.
Getty had to be on the island, living with the construction crew.
The progress of Jiaoli Island is inseparable from his careful steering.
After working hard for more than half a year, Getty lost a lot of weight, but he is still quite strong.
In the world of top luxury hotels, Aman cannot be avoided.
As the official designer of Aman, many of Getty's designs have been praised by the industry, and Roland Voss is no stranger to Getty.
They all belong to the top luxury hotel circle, and Getty is the top design master that many hotels in the entire circle are competing for.
"Mr. Getty." Roland Voss called out respectfully.
"It turns out to be Roland. Since you are with Chen, it proves that the news is not false."
Getty said with a smile: "There are many hotels in the Belmond Group, even Aman is very coveted."
"Although Aman is good, Belmond's hotel layout and profitability cannot be compared to them."
When it comes to Aman, even Roland Voss doesn't dare to be careless in the slightest.
The main reason is that Amman is so famous that there are even many Amman fans who keep visiting Amway Hotels with their friends.
Some people even said: "If you have never stayed at the Aman Hotel, you are not qualified to say that you are a hotel connoisseur."
Many Aman hotels can indeed achieve extremely high service standards.
It even reaches the standard of five service staff corresponding to one guest.
Ultra-high standards of service, stunning location selection, and pursuit of peace of mind...
It is these that have created Aman's unique reputation and a solid foundation in the field of luxury hotels.
However, correspondingly, Aman's revenue is very miserable, and it cannot be compared with Belmond.
Belmond's many hotels around the world can charge thousands of dollars per night during peak tourist seasons.
It is precisely because of its high reputation and high housing prices that Belmond attracted the two wolves, Chen Dongcheng and Arnault.
Roland Voss talked a lot with Getty along the way and had a comprehensive understanding of the hotel's positioning, signature features, and snorkeling ratings.
Getty talks about his hard work with confidence.
"Jiaoli Island definitely has all the conditions for a seven-star island. We have an A-level snorkeling environment and A-level beach quality.
Plus the largest undersea restaurant and undersea suites in the entire Maldives, and the longest slide into the sea.
As long as the island is opened, it will be full."
Roland Vos smiled and nodded: "I think so too. Belmond Group will use its advantages to train a group of excellent service personnel and send them to Jiaoli Island."
Belmond Jiaoli Island, another star-studded seven-star island in the Maldives is about to be launched!
The biggest benefit of acquiring Belmond is that we can share Belmond’s rich experience in top luxury hotel management.
The management talents prepared by Belmond alone can save Chen Dongcheng a lot of effort.
At least you don't have to worry. After Jiaoli Island was released, it received a flood of negative reviews.
If you want to run the island well, you not only need to have money, but you also need to understand what customers who choose top luxury hotels need.
The reason Aman has so many fans is largely because they are always thinking about their customers.
You can even sprinkle cold water on the beach if the beach is too hot to win the favor of customers.
The success of top luxury hotels starts from trivial details.
Belmond Group is an expert in this field.
With them taking over Jiaoli Island, Chen Dongcheng can feel very relieved.
Choosing restaurants on Jiaoli Island is a difficult problem.
According to the standards of Jiaoli Island, at least there must be a chef in the industry to satisfy the many tourists who come here here.
However, chefs in the industry are often a carrot and a pit.
It is quite difficult to recruit these chefs.
But for Belmond, who is a member of the top luxury hotel, it is not that difficult.
Many chefs from other competitor hotels are in line with their poaching goals.
Getty also joined the discussion, and the restaurant on Jiaoli Island must be confirmed as soon as possible.
He communicated with the chef in a timely manner and made fine adjustments to the restaurant that had been designed.
"We have several candidates, all of whom are chefs who have won Michelin stars before. One of them has two Michelin stars, and we have been following it for a long time."
Roland Vos turned on his phone and showed Chen Dongcheng and Getty the information about a chef.
"Michel Porto has been awarded two Michelin stars for four consecutive years and has won numerous awards.
He recently decided to leave his original team, and we originally planned to invite him to be the chef of our hotel in Peru.
Now it seems that he is more suitable to come to Jiaoli Island to take charge."
Getty nodded and said: "I have tasted Porto's cooking before, and he deserves the honor of a two-star chef."
No matter what Chinese people think, foreigners recognize the Michelin list very much.
To be able to get two Michelin stars for four years, there is no doubt about your cooking skills.
Chen Dongcheng shook his head and said: "One Michelin two-star chef is not enough, there must be at least two chefs who are good at different cuisines.
I hope there will be three restaurants with outstanding taste on Jiaoli Island, attracting tourists from all over the world."
Roland Voss hesitated for a moment and said: "Boss, if it goes according to your request, I do have a candidate, but this person is a bit weird."
Chen Dongcheng became interested and asked with a smile: "What kind of strange method?"
"His name is Richard Eckbus. He has won two Michelin stars for nine consecutive years and is the gold medal chef of the Amber restaurant in Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong."
"Are you sure the other party can come to Jiaoli Island?"
Chen Dongcheng's expression was a little strange. He had already earned enough honors at Mandarin Oriental.
You should continue to consolidate your current career. How can you change jobs easily?
Roger Voss shook his head, his tone hesitant.
"I'm not sure, I just met Ekbus once before.
He complained to me at the time that he was tired of the restaurant's cookie-cutter menu and could only get perfect reviews.
He was eager to innovate, but the general manager of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel didn't approve.
They prefer that Eckbus keep the original menu, and the biggest credit is that it doesn't make any mistakes.
This was at odds with Eckbus’s ideas, and there were frequent disputes, so I thought it was an opportunity.”
No one is willing to take risks for no reason. For Mandarin Oriental, Eckbus' Amber restaurant is a living signature.
As long as the quality of the restaurant is correct and it can bring a steady flow of customers, what kind of innovation is needed?
What if something goes wrong and there are a lot of negative customer reviews?
Even Eckbus himself can't guarantee that his innovative dishes will be 100% loved by customers.
If you make a mistake, the reputation of a chef with two Michelin stars will definitely be lost.
That was definitely a huge blow to Mandarin Oriental.
Chen Dongcheng is also a little afraid to bet that if Eckbus is really asked to innovate.
It's done, everyone is happy.
If it fails, Jiaoli Island's reputation will be ruined.
"Find an opportunity and I'll meet him."
Chen Dongcheng still feels that evaluation through games is more reliable.
If it's really unreliable, just replace it.
"No problem, I can accompany you to Hong Kong to experience Ekbus's cooking skills in person."
Of the three restaurants, two of them confirmed that their chef has two Michelin stars.
For the remaining restaurant, Roger Vos recommended a chef with great potential for one Michelin star.
Roger Voss had been following up on the other party before, and he felt that the other party had great potential to win two Michelin stars.
In the future, Jiaoli Island will mainly serve French, Italian and Chinese food.
Three theme restaurants with different styles will also be renovated in the near future.
Everything must be done before mid-December.
…
Hong Kong, Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
amber restaurant.
Voss followed Chen Dongcheng to personally visit the Mandarin Oriental Hotel.
The general manager of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Torsten Duleman, was immediately on pins and needles.
They were all involved in the luxury hotel industry, and the first time he saw Voss, he understood the purpose of his appearance.
Ekbus is the money-spinner of Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, so there is absolutely no room for failure.
Chen Dongcheng carefully tasted Ekbus's cooking skills, and the quality of the dishes was very good.
Can't fault it, but no surprises either.
After the meal, Voss ignored Duleman's ugly face and spoke to Ekbus with a warm smile.
Ekbus's status at the Mandarin Oriental is transcendent.
Many of the customers who check in come to him.
No matter how dissatisfied Duleman was, he would not dare to offend this God of Wealth.
Chen Dongcheng was also sizing up Ekbus, wanting to see how valuable this chef who had won two Michelin stars for nine consecutive years was.
"Character: Richard Eckbus"
"Identity: Chef of Amber Restaurant at Mandarin Oriental"
"Ability: Master Chef (3%)"
"Evaluation: His self-created recipes have great potential. It is recommended that players recruit each other."
A master chef alone is enough to offset some worries.
Chefs who have reached this level have already achieved a high level of success.
What's more, the game also makes recruitment suggestions directly and clearly.
Chen Dongcheng gave Voss a look. After receiving the signal, Voss exchanged a few words with Ekbus and followed Chen Dongcheng away.
Eckbus frowned slightly as he looked at the two people leaving.
Although Voss didn't say much just now, he felt the recruitment implications in his words very clearly.
It’s rare for a Michelin restaurant chef to change jobs, especially if he changes to a new working environment. How many people from the original team can leave with him?
If we try again, the quality of the initial dishes will be a problem.
Moreover, Ekbus has held two Michelin stars for nine years, and he wants to compete for the honor of three Michelin stars.
But if I change jobs, is it still possible?
These are all issues that require careful consideration by Eckbus.
It is easy to make an impulsive decision, but if you analyze it rationally, you will find that every decision involving your future is extremely difficult.
Just when Eckbus was struggling, Voss sent him a text message.
"Richard, my boss has decided to build you a three-star Michelin restaurant on Jili Island in the Maldives.
Believe me, it is a dreamy and beautiful Seven-Star Island.
You will realize your dreams there.
In return, you will receive an annual salary of two million US dollars.
And 10% of the restaurant shares, I hope you will be satisfied."
"Oh, by the way, my boss asked you to ask your team.
As long as there is anyone willing to go with you, we will pay the penalty."
An annual salary of US$2 million is already attractive enough.
