The development of the Dream Paradise Resort lasted for a full 6 days before concluding.
During these 6 days, Jiang Cheng locked himself within the villa, not stepping out, devoting all his efforts until he finally completed this initial development phase.
The entire process was exhausting but brought an immense sense of accomplishment, giving Jiang Cheng a feeling akin to "with a snap of fingers, the world is turned upside down!"
With just a flick of a finger, countless buildings sprang up like bamboo shoots after the rain; this god-like feeling of creation is something that most people can't comprehend or experience.
Watching Jade Island become increasingly better under his command, Jiang Cheng naturally felt incredibly gratified.
At this point, if viewed from high above, you'd find the eastern Dream Paradise Resort suddenly becoming mysterious.
In every corner, there are strange phenomena shrouded in thick fog, and if an uninformed person saw it, they'd think some magical event had occurred!
However, while the initial development of the Dream Paradise Resort has been successfully completed, Jiang Cheng's heart can't help but bleed, constantly experiencing sharp pains.
400 million USD!
This development of the Dream Paradise Resort consumed a whopping 400 million USD from Jiang Cheng!
And keep in mind this is just the initial investment!
Based on the estimate of the development area, the current Dream Paradise Resort has only developed less than 1%. There are still plenty of excellent tourist resources yet to be tapped and developed.
Therefore, if Jiang Cheng were to develop by himself, he would face bankruptcy; the mere thought of it is terrifying!
This exceptionally beautiful Jade Island may seem full of potential, but it's undoubtedly a bottomless pit!
Thus arises the necessity of attracting investment and talent, and Jiang Cheng felt particularly fortunate for his foresight.
After days of non-stop hustle, Jiang Cheng barely had any good sleep, seizing the chance to collapse onto the bed and sink into deep sleep.
While Jiang Cheng was sound asleep, the infrastructure projects were continuously completed under the support of advanced system technology.
...
Early the next morning, Jiang Cheng got up full of energy, hurriedly ate breakfast, and impatiently flew off towards the Dream Paradise Resort aboard Hai.
All along the way, Jiang Cheng watched as magnificent landscapes sped past under him, filling his heart with indescribable pride and satisfaction.
"Hmm… Everywhere I see is the territory of the king!"
Jiang Cheng flew over Jade Island proudly like a lion king inspecting his domain.
After flying for a while, Jiang Cheng's eyes shone with fervent light as he finally noticed the hint of modern elements amid the pristine natural scenery.
As the view zoomed closer, one can clearly see modern architectural facilities rising over this vast land.
Like colorful shells, the vibrant Hongwan Airport… New, neat airport runways eternally extended toward the vast azure sea, spectacular to behold.
Amidst the morning mist, Swan Port appears as a proud crab hoisting steel arms high, tower rising, distinct amid the expansive ocean, robust and powerful!
Endless winding highways and steel bridges span across mountains and waters, efficiently linking the entire Dream Paradise Resort, forming a comprehensive city traffic network.
One could say that the Dream Paradise Resort now has the initial semblance of a modern city.
And enveloped by these city buildings, Dream Bay and Paradise Bay preserve the most original natural features, like two bashful maidens, partly hidden and showing restraint.
For a full day, Jiang Cheng furiously piloted Hai across skies and seas, over mountain ranges, ceaselessly inspecting various building facilities, so busy he had no time to eat.
The state-of-the-art system technology is indeed remarkable; whether craftsmanship or construction standards, both can be deemed as world-class, with no worry of sloppy structures easily collapsing.
After this round of inspections, Jiang Cheng remained very satisfied, with a smile never fading from his face, maintaining a heightened state.
For him, this resort captures all his efforts from recent days; not merely a tool for accumulating his life's first wealth but also, to a certain extent, representing the future of Jade Island!
Its importance can't be overstated!
If this first step can be successful, then the funds will flow into Jade Island continuously, and Jiang Cheng will have sufficient confidence to confront powerful forces in the surroundings, perhaps even leap into the sky and scheme for grander ambitions!
...
The sunset gradually descended, casting vast swaths of brilliant gilded hue; the entire Jade Island was enveloped in this dreamy twilight, further accentuating the island's picturesque beauty.
At this moment, Jiang Cheng dragged his fatigued body back to his villa.
Nevertheless, he didn't go on resting but instead opened his phone, bringing up the 3D holographic projection of Jade Island, gazing at the scattered villa communities of the Dream Paradise Resort and the steel-filled industrial facilities, he fell into deep thought.
The current Dream Paradise Resort is ready in every aspect, but what's missing is a batch of staff!
Given the current situation, maintaining the operation of the resort not only requires service and management staff for business facilities like hotels, restaurants, and shopping centers, but also a substantial number of engineering maintenance and operations personnel for industrial facilities such as airports, ports, stations, and power plants.
Looking at it this way, this small resort is tantamount to a miniature city, involving talents from various industries.
As for the scale, according to the talent demand list provided by the system, at least 8,000 to 10,000 people are needed to ensure the normal operation of the entire resort.
Such a vast number of staff is not easy to recruit.
Frowning, Jiang Cheng pondered for a moment, then suddenly moved his finger to open the recruitment system of the Island Tycoon app.
The recruitment system is an important auxiliary feature, akin to a super talent reserve, collecting talents from various industries worldwide, all top-notch high-tech experts. As long as Jiang Cheng offers sufficient terms, there's a certain probability of recruiting them to serve him.
"Ding… Island Master privilege level insufficient, unable to open this module temporarily!"
The next instant, Jiang Cheng was dumbfounded, frozen in place, his face filled with an expression of astonishment and frustration.
"Insufficient my ass!"
Looking at the striking prompt on the interface, Jiang Cheng's teeth gritted in annoyance.
What a lousy system!
He urgently needs people, yet it deliberately throws out an island master level restriction; isn't it putting itself at odds with him?
Facing the phone screen, Jiang Cheng vented violently, and then felt everything had lost its flavor, gradually calming down.
He realized that recruiting staff ultimately depended on himself.
But where should he recruit them?
Surely he can't stick small advertisements on the streets!
Those recruited this way would definitely be misfits, uneven in quality, and not sufficiently competent.
Even if meticulously selected, piecing together enough manpower, he'd still waste time and energy on their formal training, which might seem unworthy.
"Is there a means to simultaneously resolve these issues?"
Jiang Cheng rubbed his chin, pondering.
