438, Top Chef (Third Update!)

The water houses and boardwalks on the island are the highest in the Maldives, avoiding loud noise and safety issues at night.

There are tailed sandbars in the front and back of the water house, and you can walk directly to the bottom of the water house at low tide.

Construction is still ongoing on the island, and great care was taken to protect the surrounding snorkeling environment.

The Getty has been around Jolyse all year long, and this will be no exception.

Chen Dongcheng and they came by a coincidence, and the undersea restaurant had just been put underwater two days ago.

After rigorous testing, it is ready to be put into use.

The undersea suite will also be shipped over next month and put into use.

The Getty had to live on the island, with the builders.

The progress of Jiaoli Island is inseparable from his careful steering.

After more than half a year of exhaustion, Getty has lost a lot of weight, but he is still quite strong.

In the world of luxury hotels, Aman can't get around it.

As Aman's designer, many of Getty's designs have been celebrated by the industry, and Roland Wirth is no stranger to Getty.

They are all in the mixed luxury hotel circle, and Getty is the top design master that many hotels in the whole circle compete for.

"Mr. Getty. Roland Wirth called out respectfully.

"It turned out to be Roland, since you are with Chen, it proves that the news is not fake. ”

Getty laughs: "There are a lot of hotels in the Belmond Group, even Aman is very greedy. ”

"Aman is good, but Belmond's hotel layout and profitability are not comparable to theirs. ”

Speaking of Aman, even if Roland?? Voss didn't dare to be careless.

The main Aman is so famous that there are even many Aman fans who keep Amway hotels for their friends.

Someone even said: "If you haven't stayed at an Aman hotel, you are not qualified to say that you are a hotel controller." ”

Many of Aman's hotels do offer a very high level of service.

It even meets the standard of five service staff corresponding to one guest.

Ultra-high standard of service, which can be called a stunning location, the pursuit of peace of mind......

It's what makes Aman uniquely renowned and has a strong foundation in the luxury hospitality sector.

However, Aman's revenue is very miserable, and it cannot be compared with Belmond.

Many of Belmond's hotels around the world can reach thousands of dollars per night during the peak tourist season.

It is precisely by relying on the super high popularity and the high housing prices that Belmond attracted the two jackals, Chen Dongcheng and Arnault.

Roland Wirth chatted a lot with the Getty along the way, from the hotel's positioning, signature features, and snorkeling ratings to have a comprehensive understanding.

Getty speaks confidently about his work.

"Ulle has absolutely all the makings of a 7 star island, we have a Class A snorkeling environment, Class A beach quality.

Add to that the largest undersea restaurant and undersea suite in the entire Maldives, and the longest sea slide.

As long as the island is opened, it will be full. ”

Roland Wirth smiled and nodded: "I also think so, Belmond Group will use the advantages of the group to train a group of excellent service personnel and send them to Jiaoli Island." ”

Belmond Gilles, another star-studded island in the Maldives, is about to be launched!

The biggest benefit of acquiring Belmond is that you can share Belmond's rich experience in luxury hotel management.

The management talents prepared by Belmond alone can save Chen Dongcheng a lot of effort.

At least don't worry, after the launch of Jiaoli Island, there are a flood of bad reviews.

If you want to run the island well, you not only need to have money, but also need to understand what customers need when choosing a luxury hotel.

The reason why Aman has so many fans is largely because they are always thinking about the minds of their customers.

You can even sprinkle cold water on the beach when the beach is too hot, which will win the favor of customers.

The success of a luxury hotel starts with the smallest details.

The Belmond Group is an expert in this field.

With them taking over Jiaoli Island, Chen Dongcheng can be very relieved.

The choice of restaurants on the island of Jolyt is a challenge.

By the standards of the island, at least a chef from the industry must be in charge to satisfy the many tourists who come to visit.

However, chefs in the industry are often a turnip and a pit.

It's quite difficult to poach these chefs.

However, for Belmond, a member of the top luxury hotel, it is not so difficult.

Many other chefs of competing hotels fit their recruitment goals.

Getty also joined the discussion, and the restaurant on Gille Island had to be settled as soon as possible.

He communicated with the chef in a timely manner and fine-tuned the restaurant that had been designed.

"We have a couple of options, all of which are chefs who have previously received Michelin stars, one of whom has two Michelin stars, and we've been following it for a long time. ”

Roland Wirth turned on his phone and gave Chen Dongcheng and Getty a message from a chef.

"Michel Porto, who has been awarded two Michelin stars for four consecutive years, has won numerous awards.

Having recently moved away from his old team, we had planned to invite him to be the head chef of our Peruvian hotel.

Now it seems that he would be more suitable to come to Jiaoli Island. ”

Getty nodded, "I've tasted Porto's craft before, and I deserve the honor of being a two-star chef." ”

No matter what Chinese people think, foreigners recognize the Michelin list very much.

If you can win two Michelin stars, one is still four years, and your cooking skills are definitely beyond doubt.

Chen Dongcheng shook his head and said: "One two-Michelin-starred chef is not enough, at least two chefs who are good at different cuisines must be in charge."

I hope that there will be three restaurants on the island that will attract tourists from all over the world. ”

Roland Wirth hesitated and said, "Boss, if you ask for it, I really have a candidate, but this person is a bit weird." ”

Chen Dongcheng became interested, and asked with a smile: "What's the strange method?"

His name is Richard Exbus, and he has been awarded two Michelin stars for nine consecutive years, and the gold medal chef of Mandarin Oriental Amber in Hong Kong. ”

"Are you sure they can come to Jolyda?"

Chen Dongcheng's face was a little strange, everyone had already earned enough honor in Mandarin Oriental.

You should continue to consolidate your existing business, how can you easily change jobs.

Roger Wirth shook his head, his tone a little hesitant.

"I'm not sure, but I've met Exbus before.

He complained to me at the time that he was tired of the cookie-cutter menu and could never get an erroneous review.

He was eager to innovate, but the general manager of the Mandarin Oriental did not approve of it.

They prefer Ekbus to keep the menu as it is, and not making mistakes is the biggest credit.

It didn't agree with Exbus's ideas, and there were a lot of arguments, so I thought it was an opportunity. ”

No one wants to take risks for no reason, and for Mandarin Oriental, Amber at Exbus is a living signature.

As long as the quality of the restaurant is not wrong, it can completely bring a steady stream of customers, what innovation do you want?

What if something goes wrong and customers get bad reviews?

Even Exbus himself can't guarantee that his innovative dishes will be 100% loved by customers.

If you make a mistake, the reputation of a two-Michelin-starred chef will definitely be lost.

That was definitely a big blow to Mandarin Oriental.

Chen Dongcheng is also a little afraid to bet, if this really allows Exbus to innovate.

It's done, and everyone is happy.

If it fails, the reputation of Jolyle will be ruined.

"I'll meet him at a time. ”

Chen Dongcheng still thinks that the evaluation of the game is more reliable.

If it's really unreliable, just replace it.

"No problem, I can accompany you to Hong Kong to experience Exbus's cooking for yourself. ”

Of the three restaurants, two of them are confirmed to be two-Michelin-starred chefs.

For the rest of the house, Roger Wirth recommended a promising one-Michelin-starred chef.

Roger Wirth has been following up with the opposition before, and he feels that the opponent has a lot of potential to win the honor of two Michelin stars.

In the future, Jiaoli Island will mainly serve French, Italian and Chinese food.

Three themed restaurants with different styles will also be renovated in the near future.

It had to be done all by mid-December.

......

Mandarin Oriental, Hong Kong.

Amber Restaurant.

Voss followed Chen Dongcheng to visit the Mandarin Oriental Hotel in person.

Immediately, the general manager of the Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Torsten Dulermann, was on pins and needles.

They are all in the top luxury hotel circle, and the first time he saw Voss, he understood the purpose of the other party's appearance.

Exbus is the cash cow of Mandarin Oriental Hong Kong, and there is absolutely no room for error.

Chen Dongcheng carefully tasted Exbus's cooking, and the level of the dishes was very online.

Can't fault it, but there's no surprise either.

After the meal, Vos accosted Exbus with a warm smile, despite Duellerman's ugly face.

Exbus' position at Mandarin Oriental is transcendent.

Many of the customers who stayed here came for him.

No matter how dissatisfied Dulerman was, he would not dare to offend this god of wealth.

Chen Dongcheng is also looking at Exbus to see how much the chef has won two Michelin stars for nine consecutive years.

"Character: Richard Exbus"

"Identity: Chef at Mandarin Oriental Amber"

"Ability: Master Chef (3%)"

"Comments: Their own recipes have great potential, and players are advised to recruit them. ”

A master chef alone is enough to offset some of these concerns.

Chefs who have reached this level have already been at a high level.

What's more, the game also directly and clearly proposes recruitment.

Chen Dongcheng gave Voss a look, and after receiving the signal, Voss exchanged a few more words with Exbus, and left with Chen Dongcheng.

Exbus looked at the two departing men, his brow furrowed slightly.

Although Voss didn't say much just now, he felt the meaning of recruitment in his words very clearly.

Very few Michelin-starred chefs have changed jobs, especially after changing to a new working environment, how many people can the original team go with him?

If you re-run, the quality of the initial dishes will be a problem.

And Exbs has been holding two Michelin stars for nine years, and he wants to compete for the honor of three Michelin stars.

But is it still possible to change jobs?

These are all questions that need to be carefully considered by Exbus.

It's easy to make a decision on impulse, but if you analyze it rationally, you will find that every decision that involves your future is extremely difficult.

While Exbus was struggling, Voss sent him a text message.

"Richard, my boss has decided to create a three-Michelin-starred restaurant for you, right on the island of Gilles, Maldives.

Believe me, it's a dreamy island of Seven Stars.

You will be there to make your dreams come true.

In return, you get a salary of $2 million a year.

As well as a 10% stake in the restaurant, I hope you will be satisfied. ”

"Oh yes, my boss asked you to ask your team.

As long as there are people who are willing to go with you, we will pay the liquidated damages. ”

An annual salary of $2 million is tempting enough.

What's more, there is also a 10% stake in the restaurant to follow.

It's an irresistible temptation for any chef.
