Chapter 2000 The Gap Between People

The behavior of Yang Cheng and William working together to deceive Hugh Grosvenor is, to a certain extent, a partnership to defraud.

But the problem is that the young Duke actually happily agreed. Yang Cheng didn't expect this result even to death. Did he overestimate the other party, or was he really stupid?

This was the news that Yang Cheng received after receiving a call from William 20 minutes later.

Still asking in disbelief, "He really agreed?"

"If I really agree, can I still lie to you?"

"Why did he agree?"

William was surprised, "Why didn't he agree? This project obviously has good prospects, but the profit period is too long. It's not difficult for Xio to accept that we give up part of the benefits to cash in early, right?"

Yang Cheng stammered and didn't say anything. In his opinion, this kind of thing was a bit unethical, and even if the other party agreed, he probably wouldn't be so happy.

But who would have thought that not only did the other party agree, but from William's tone, it seemed that nothing unpleasant had happened. This made Yang Cheng a little puzzled. Is this young man really a prodigal?

Forget it, don’t care about him, I agree anyway, love whoever!

Yang Cheng didn't have a direct idea about the hotel he was planning to buy at low prices, so he needed someone to collect some information.

Speaking of hotels, Yang Cheng pulled out a design rendering from the classified documents. This is the first hotel that will open in London after Belmond was acquired by Yang Cheng.

Sloane Street in Chelsea, London, is located in the old affluent area in the center of London and still represents the lifestyle of the British upper class. It is the real place of British upper class life.

Belmond Cadogan Hotel is Belmond's latest landmark in Chelsea, London.

This is the crossroads of fashionable neighborhoods. The main entrance leads to the bustling business district of Knightsbridge, lined with high-end brand stores. From the side door, you enter the Chelsea Art Center, where you can find exquisite crafts, handmade food and fashionable drinks.

There are many gossip stories in it, including the vicious Oscar Wilde, Sir Hans Sloane, the founder of the British Museum, the most uninhibited King Edward VII and his mistress, etc.

The hotel hired two talented young designers to create a new London landmark for Belmond.

The design plan strives to retain the decorative style of Queen Anne's era, and the guest rooms are reduced to only 54 rooms. Guests can stay in rooms decorated with authentic British art.

In addition, the hotel also retains a private garden, which is a private passage for participating in private literary salons and visiting Cadogan Gardens. While enjoying a peaceful and comfortable place, you can also easily explore London.

Yang Cheng saw the epitome of London's upper class society in the last century from the design drawings, and believed that after the renovation is completed, the effect will be even more outstanding.

This design was started before the acquisition. Three years have passed since the renovation project, but there are still two years to be completed. Slow work will produce fine work, so Yang Cheng is not in a hurry.

The benchmark for the hotel built by belmond is the Mandarin Oriental Hyde Park. This fan hotel has a history of 117 years. It was originally opened as an exclusive apartment for single wealthy people. In 1902, after it had a private royal entrance, it began to function as a hotel. ;

In the years after World War II, it became the headquarters of the Royal Army's Special Air Service (SAS), and later returned to its hotel function to this day.

There are more legends about this hotel. The famous Mrs. Vakani, the dance teacher of Queen Elizabeth and Princess Margaret of England, once held various intoxicating parties and dance classes in the banquet hall;

Sir Winston Churchill once stayed at the hotel for several days and gave the housekeeper two cigars in return for delivering in-room breakfast;

Evelyn Waugh was also a frequent guest at the hotel and based his characters on fellow guests after many stays.

The two hotels started renovations at the same time, but the Mandarin Oriental seems to have been completed earlier and is expected to open part of the area in the third quarter of this year.

Judging from the picture, the glass chandelier hanging in the center is dazzling, which further enhances the grandeur of the hotel entrance. Modern and fashionable materials such as plastic complement more traditional decorations such as burl wood grain.

An eye-catching abstract artwork in the reception area, designed by a master designer, is inspired by the bark texture of Hyde Park’s iconic oak tree.

Corridors display works inspired by Hyde Park's natural landscape and British technological innovations displayed at the 1851 London World's Fair, while other eclectic works of art can be found throughout the hotel's public areas.

Located next to Hyde Park, the Mandarin Oriental Hotel occupies a scenic location, with most rooms offering unique views of the tree-lined Hyde Park and the London skyline.

Two newly built penthouse suites with private terraces are inspired by the tranquility of Hyde Park and retro style, recalling the glamor of the golden age of travel in the early 20th century.

The largest suite, consisting of two spacious interconnecting suites, the Mandarin Loft and the Oriental Loft, is one of the largest suites in London.

It has three bedrooms, three bathrooms, a private dining room, two kitchens and stunning views of Hyde Park and the London city skyline.

Each suite has a variety of special extras for guests to enjoy, from a library produced by London's historic bookstore Heywood Hill to yoga mats for private practice.

At the same time, the room is also equipped with GHD hair straighteners, Nescafe coffee machines, Miller Harris bathroom products for men and women, etc., all of which are top-notch.

In this aspect, belmond did a good job. Yang Cheng made a comparison, and belmond seemed to be even more perfect in these details.

Although it is a benchmark, the customers targeted by both parties are still fundamentally different.

Belmond targets more high-end people in society who are pursuing life, while Mandarin Oriental prefers wealthy people from the Middle East.

Of course, to put it bluntly, it is still for the rich. If you don’t have money, don’t expect to find the slightest sense of presence in these two hotels.

There is a saying that goes well, no place can show the gap between people better than a hotel that serves the rich. In these luxury hotels, you can see the richest people in a society at the same time. and the poorest.

Here you can feel the most severe polarization.

How serious is it? The class ideology of this hotel can make Downton Abbey look like a big happy family symbolizing equality and fairness.

To be honest, if you have never worked there, it is difficult to imagine what the life of rich people is like.

For example, a princess from the Middle East stayed at the Mandarin Oriental. She came for vacation because it was said that the desert was too hot and she wanted to come here to escape the heat. Listen to this reason!
