Rebirth of Hong Kong Island, leading the technology war

Chapter 540 The resort rooms are in high demand.
Upon hearing the name "Mrs. Yang," everyone fell silent for a moment.

Mrs. Yang's real name is Yang Wanyu, and she is an extremely special person among the wealthy wives in Hong Kong.

Although Yang Wanyu's family cannot be considered a traditional wealthy family, their strength is in no way inferior to the top four families, and in some aspects they are even slightly stronger.

Yang Wanyu's husband is very influential. He is the executive director of a large fund on Washington Street in Hong Kong. Just by showing this title, he can act with impunity in Hong Kong. Even the Li family, the super-rich, have to give him some respect.

Finance and real estate are the foundational industries of Hong Kong Island, and Wah Shing Street is the leader in the financial sector, so it's perfectly normal for it to hold this position.

Therefore, Yang Wanyu has a wide network of connections and can always get her hands on rare and hard-to-obtain items, such as concert tickets, and the same goes for the reservation slots at the Tenglong Island Ancient Style Resort.

Yang Wanyu somehow managed to get one of those highly sought-after rooms.

At this moment, Liwen asked in a low voice, "Is this true? How did he manage to get such a hard-to-get hotel spot? What connections did Mrs. Yang make?"

The others also looked on with curiosity.

Sister Hong said, "Hey, let me tell you, Yang Wanyu has a lot of connections. I heard she has connections in the United States."

"...The United States? What's going on? Does the United States have any say in our affairs?"

Sister Hong raised an eyebrow: "How can it not be related? Don't you know who owns the ancient-style resort on Tenglong Island?"

Upon hearing this, everyone's interest was piqued even more.

People are just here to chat and gossip when they have nothing better to do. They don't care what kind of gossip it is, as long as it's fresh.

"Who's the boss?"

"Isn't it Hu... right, Caihua's son, Ashan's?"

Hongjie glanced at Yuan Caihua and said, "Caihua should know better. The owner of the resort should be Catherine Guise, right? He is the owner of the resort."

Yuan Caihua nodded: "Yes, Catherine Guise."

The others looked at each other, puzzled.

Who is Kathryn Guise?

"Is he a foreigner?"

"People from the beacon of light?"

Yuan Caihua said with a smile, "Actually, she is Bill Guise's daughter, his biological daughter."

Everyone was shocked when they heard this, their eyes widening in disbelief.

It's normal that no one present had heard of Kathryn Gates, but Bill Gates is a super celebrity; probably only a small percentage of people on this planet don't know Bill Gates.

It seems that the specific information about Tenglong Island Ancient Style Resort has not been fully disseminated yet, and only a small number of people know about it.

In fact, Yuan Caihua and Hu Wenxin had known about it for a long time. They were also very surprised at the time. They never expected that their son, Ashan, had done such a big thing and actually managed to hook up with the daughter of the former richest man in the world.

Of course, they didn't think there was anything wrong with it; it just showed how capable their son was.

To become partners with the Guise family, could you do it without ability? Absolutely not; money alone is not enough.

Everyone now understood that if Yang Wanyu were to use her connections in the United States, it would indeed work. After all, Catherine Guise was a citizen of the United States, and the headquarters of the Guise Group was also located there. With just a word, a room could be arranged.

Lili said, "No wonder then. It seems Mrs. Yang really does have connections."

The others nodded in agreement, their expressions filled with envy and resentment.

Sister Hong curled her lip: "Don't envy him. Don't we have Caihua? With Caihua here, how could we not be able to book a room? That's impossible!"

Upon hearing this, the others were greatly encouraged and also spoke up.

“That’s right. Ah Shan is the owner of Tenglong Island. Catherine Guise has to give him some face, right?”

"Yes, since the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, their relationship must be very good."

Everyone flattered and praised Yuan Caihua.

Yuan Caihua smiled without saying a word, but she was naturally very pleased.

However, Yuan Caihua was also a little uneasy. Theoretically, her son Hu Jiangshan should be able to book a room, but she was afraid that something might not happen.

What if we can't book it?

The number of rooms in the resort is also limited. If it is really fully booked, it is impossible to force a few rooms to be arranged. You can't expect everyone to set up huts or tents.

Of course, you can also book your check-in later, ten days or half a month later, and you'll definitely have a room if you miss the peak season.

However, in that case, Yuan Caihua would obviously lose face and be a little embarrassed.

If Yuan Caihua didn't have connections, that would be one thing, but her son is the owner of Tenglong Island. If she still couldn't handle it, it really wouldn't make sense.

Yang Wanyu is quite strong, especially since if the date is set closer to the future, then Yuan Caihua's side would pale in comparison.

These wealthy women don't care about money; they care about face.

It's incredibly embarrassing; you feel so ashamed that you can't even hold your head up when you go out. It's like losing your soul, and it's extremely uncomfortable.

Just then, Liwen suddenly whispered, "Oh dear, speak of the devil, and he appears!"

Everyone turned their heads and saw that several people had come up from the teahouse, one of whom was Mrs. Yang, also known as Yang Wanyu.

Yang Wanyu was probably between thirty and forty years old.

Honestly, women nowadays take very good care of themselves, especially upper-class women. They use high-end cosmetics and have time to do various beauty and skincare treatments. Some even undergo cosmetic procedures, so you can't tell their actual age, but most of them are around forty.

As a woman of high status, Yang Wanyu naturally has some close female friends around her, and they often get together.

At this moment, Yang Wanyu and the others went upstairs and saw Yuan Caihua, Sister Hong and the others there as well. They were not too surprised and came over to greet them.

"Oh, Sister Yuan, Sister Hong, you're here too? What a coincidence!"

Sister Hong smiled and said, "It's not a coincidence. We're often here, and Mrs. Yang probably knows that, right?"

"Yes, I know, so we arranged to come and take a look and try the tea here. I heard that the tea here is particularly good, and it is a top-quality old tea tree from Yunnan Province in the mainland."

Yuan Caihua said, "Since you're here, let's sit together and chat."

Yang Wanyu said, "Thank you for your kindness, Sister Yuan. It's too crowded to sit together. We can sit on the side and chat since we're close by."

Yang Wanyu and a few others sat at the table next to them, then called over a waiter and ordered some tea, melon seeds, dried fruit, and the like.

At this moment, one of Yang Wanyu's companions, named Aqin, said, "Wanyu, I heard that the Tenglong Island Resort Hotel is extremely popular lately. Have you booked a room?"

Another companion of Yang Wanyu said, "It must have been booked already. Mrs. Yang is a very influential person with many connections. There's no place she can't book if she wants to."

The group started chatting, each taking turns to say something.

"Wow, that's rare! I heard those rooms are so hard to book. Many people try to find connections everywhere but can't get a reservation. They're in high demand!" "That's right. You might not know, but the owner of that resort is Katherine Guise. Do you know who she is? She's the daughter of Bill Guise, the former richest man on Earth. It's not easy to find connections with her."

Yang Wanyu smiled slightly: "I've already made the reservation. It was really difficult because the rooms are so popular that the reservation channel is now closed."

The friends were very excited when they heard this.

"By the way, Wanyu, did you book a hotel room or a holiday home? I heard that the holiday home is particularly nice and very comfortable, with super five-star amenities."

"Hey, we're lucky to even have a room. Forget about holiday homes, that place is an island. I heard the environment is incredibly beautiful. Haven't you seen that reality show from the mainland? Oh my, it's so beautiful, it's practically paradise on earth!"

"I heard that the sand there is exceptionally fine and white, without any impurities, and it's all natural, not man-made."

Yang Wanyu smiled slightly: "I booked a holiday home. Since we're going to stay there, we might as well stay in the best one. The experience will be much better in every way."

"Yes, yes, Wanyu is right. As expected of you, you are so magnanimous. Most people can't compare to you."

As they spoke, they glanced at Yuan Caihua's side.

Yuan Caihua, Sister Hong, and the others rolled their eyes as they listened to the conversation at the next table, which was full of arrogance.

"What a bunch of sycophants!"

“That’s right, what’s so great about it? Caihua can also book rooms here, and they’re definitely holiday homes! Isn’t that right, Sister Caihua?”

Yuan Kaihua forced a smile. Although she was confident, she felt a lot of pressure after hearing what others said, since the matter was not yet finalized.

At this moment, Yuan Caihua and Sister Hong's conversation was quite loud, and they probably heard it vaguely as well.

Yang Wanyu's best friend Yanni said with a smile, "Sister Caihua, are you able to book a room at that resort? That's not easy."

Sister Hong rolled her eyes and said, "It's true that others can't book, but Caihua can definitely book! Do you even know who Caihua's son is?"

"Who is it? Isn't it Hu Jiangshan?"

"Yes, it's Hu Jiangshan. Do you know who owns Tenglong Island?"

Yang Wanyu and the others exchanged bewildered glances, clearly not fully aware of Hu Jiangshan's recent actions. They only knew that Hu Jiangshan had reformed and had a much better reputation than before, but they were unclear about the specifics of his reformation, what he was doing, and what achievements he had made.

After all, everyone's circle is only so big, and if you're not in that circle, you simply won't get access to specific information.

Yang Wanyu asked curiously, "Is Hu Jiangshan the owner of Tenglong Island?"

Sister Hong chuckled: "Of course, he's the owner of Tenglong Island. Tenglong Island is the property of the Hu family."

Yang Wanyu and the others were indeed very surprised.

This is truly unexpected; such a beautiful island as Tenglong Island is actually the property of the Hu family.

However, after the initial surprise, he couldn't help but start cricketing Hu Jiangshan again.

"Wow, Hu Jiangshan is something else, making such a big commotion."

"I heard that island is very big and very beautiful, and it also has a beautiful bay."

"No need to hear about it, there are already many photos and videos of Tenglong Island online. It really is a great place."

"Such a large island, it must cost at least several billion to buy, right? That's strange, does the Hu family have that kind of financial strength?"

"Hey, Old Master Hu has worked hard for so many years and accumulated a lot of wealth. No matter how much he squanders, it will take some time."

"So, Hu Jiangshan must be able to book a room at the resort."

"That's not necessarily true. Hu Jiangshan isn't the owner of the resort. If he wants to book a room, he has to talk to someone from the Guise Group."

"That's true. Catherine Guise has far more influence than Hu Jiangshan."

Yang Wanyu glanced at Yuan Caihua and said, "Sister Yuan, so the room has already been booked, right?"

Yuan Caihua hesitated for a moment before saying, "No, but booking a room is very simple. I've already told my husband, Ah Shan, that he'll call me if he gets any news."

Yang Wanyu laughed: "Sister Yuan, not necessarily. The rooms at Tenglong Island Resort are in high demand right now. I contacted a friend in the United States and got in touch with the Gas Group directly. There are almost no rooms available now."

"Sister Caihua, I think you should ask around. If there are no rooms available right now, then book for a later date. There will always be some available eventually."

"That's right, don't push yourself too hard."

Yang Wanyu's close friends went all out, doing everything they could to mock her.

At this moment, Yang Wanyu said, "You don't know, do you? The Tenglong Island Space Launch Site is going to launch a rocket soon. If we hadn't stayed there for those few days, we would have missed the rocket launch. If we stayed there again later, we wouldn't be able to see such a wonderful scene."

Yanni raised an eyebrow: "Wanyun, could it be that the resort rooms are so popular because of the upcoming rocket launch?"

Yang Wanyu smiled and said, "That's only one of the reasons."

As she spoke, Yang Wanyu took a sip of tea and gracefully placed the teacup on the saucer.

Goodness, I have to say Yang Wanyu has quite the presence; her demeanor is like that of an ancient noblewoman.

Yang Wanyu was probably the youngest person present, but she definitely seemed to have a higher status than the others.

Hongjie was furious and said, "You underestimate Caihua's Ahshan too much. He's incredibly capable now. Since he's become a partner with the Guise family, their relationship must be good. What's wrong with arranging a few rooms? Even a holiday home wouldn't be a problem!"

Yang Wanyu smiled slightly: "Don't make such sure things, it would be embarrassing if you couldn't keep your word."

As she spoke, Yang Wanyu gave Yuan Caihua a meaningful glance.

Yuan Caihua was indignant and said, "How could you not do it? My Ah Shan can definitely do it!"

Yang Wanyu's companions started making a fuss again, each saying their own thing, implying that Yuan Caihua was exaggerating and that it was impossible to book a room.

Yuan Caihua snorted coldly and said indifferently, "What's the rush? I'll call Ashan right now and ask him if he can handle this!"

Yang Wanyu and the others fell silent, looking at Yuan Caihua, wondering if they were really going to call Hu Jiangshan.

Doing this is quite risky. If Hu Jiangshan is in a difficult position, Yuan Caihua will lose face on the spot.

Even Sister Hong and the others were very nervous.

Yuan Caihua picked up her phone and dialed Hu Jiangshan's number.

The call connected, but it rang several times without anyone answering.

Yang Wanyu smiled and said, "What? Ashan isn't going to answer?"

Yuan Caihua said, "He's busy right now, he'll call back when he's free."

Yang Wanyu and her companions exchanged glances and laughed, looking extremely arrogant.
