"Welcome to Qidong Shipyard, Mr. Liu and Mr. Hu. Your arrival is a momentous occasion for us and will undoubtedly boost our shipyard's growth," Gao Weiguang exclaimed heartily as soon as he entered the reception room. He was elated at the prospect of doing business with the individuals looking to purchase several large ships in one go.

In his eyes, they were the epitome of wealth and prosperity, and he was determined to cater to their every need.

Zhang Lian, the person responsible for introducing Gao Weiguang to Liu Yong and Hu Jie, introduced the chairman, "Mr. Liu and Mr. Hu, please allow me to introduce our chairman, Mr. Gao Weiguang."

Liu Yong promptly stood up and extended his right hand, saying, "Chairman Gao, I have heard a lot about you, and you are undoubtedly a leader in the domestic shipbuilding industry."

The two men firmly shook hands, each recognizing the potential benefits that could arise from their collaboration. Gao Weiguang was eager to impress his guests, and Liu Yong and Hu Jie were equally determined to secure the best possible deal for themselves.

Gao Weiguang responded modestly to his compliments, saying, "Where, where, everyone praises me too much."

After exchanging polite greetings with Liu Yong, he took the initiative to shake hands with Hu Shijun again and continued to be polite.

He then enthusiastically introduced the other people to Liu Yong and Hu Shijun, making the reception room lively.

Aside from Gao Weiguang, several high-level executives from Qidong Shipyard also arrived, and after shaking hands with Liu Yong and Hu Shijun, everyone sat down to chat.

After a few pleasantries, Gao Weiguang quickly transitioned to the main topic and said, "Mr. Liu, I heard that your company is planning to purchase a large number of ships, and our Qidong Shipyard is your best choice."

Liu Yong confirmed that his company was planning to purchase a batch of ships and intended to spend 5 billion on them. Upon hearing this, the others in the room were impressed and exclaimed, "What, 5 billion! They're really rich and powerful!"

The people of Qidong Shipyard were excited as Liu Yong stepped onto the premises.

He was greeted with cheers and awe-struck gazes as though he were the God of Wealth himself. Even the high-level executives exchanged glances and nodded at each other with joy written all over their faces.

But the happiest person by far was Gao Weiguang, who could hardly believe his good fortune. A big-shot investor was willing to drop an astounding 5 billion on a ship - it was almost too good to be true.

Trying to contain his excitement, Gao Weiguang put on his most professional demeanor and asked, "Mr. Liu, what kind of boat are you looking to buy, and what are your requirements?"

Liu Yong had already thought this through and replied without hesitation, "We're primarily interested in large ocean-going oil tankers, preferably 100,000 tons or more. And if I had to name just one requirement, it would be that we need the ship as soon as possible. If you happen to have a ship available for purchase with cash, all the better."

Gao Weiguang was ecstatic. Not only did they have two ocean-going oil tankers available, but they were both massive ships weighing in at 200,000 tons each.

They were already in the acceptance stage and could be delivered immediately.

But to Gao Weiguang's surprise, Liu Yong was not as thrilled as he had expected. He even commented, "Chairman Gao, for such a large shipyard, it's surprising that you only have two existing ships."

The Qidong Shipyard executives were taken aback. These were not small vessels of 10,000-20,000 tons but massive tankers that were a rarity even in the industry. As one senior executive thought to himself, "When we started this shipyard, other shipyards couldn't boast of having such existing ships."

Gao Weiguang was stunned by Liu Yong's comment and asked,

"What do you mean, Mr. Liu?"

Liu Yong hesitated momentarily before replying, "Let's make do with those two ships for now. Can you take me to see them?"

"Of course," Gao Weiguang agreed immediately. He knew he had to cater to Liu Yong's every need - this big-time investor could transform their business overnight.

A large group of people exited the reception room and the office building and headed towards the shipyard, where a ship was set to launch.

Hu Shijun followed the group's leaders, Liu Yong and Gao Weiguang, several high-level officials from Qidong Shipyard, and middle-level personnel.

The size of the group was unprecedented and attracted the attention of many people along the way.

Some individuals stopped to look closer or inquire about the young man walking alongside Chairman Gao.

They marveled at his impressive appearance and were informed that he was the boss of Global Ocean Services, seeking to purchase seven or eight 10,000-ton ships from the shipyard in one go.

The news spread like wildfire throughout the Qidong Shipyard, leaving many people in disbelief.

As they walked, the bystanders whispered among themselves.

"Who is that young man accompanied by Chairman Gao He looks so awesome," one of them remarked.

"If you have money, you can be so awesome," another replied.

"I heard that he is the boss of Global Ocean Services, and he wants to buy seven or eight ships from our shipyard in one go," someone else said.

"Seven or eight ships are indeed a lot, and they are all 10,000-ton ships," another person said.

"What about 10,000 tons? They clearly stated that every ship must be no less than 100,000 tons, and 200,000 tons is fine," yet another interjected.

There was a sound of gasping all around. "Oh my God! Seven or eight giant ships of over 100,000 tons, what kind of concept is this? Qidong Shipyard has not had such customers for many years," someone exclaimed.

..................…..

Luo Maoyuan and his entourage from Risheng Ocean Shipping Group still had yet to leave the shipyard and were being escorted by the vice president of Qidong Shipyard.

They came across several high-end cars parked nearby, and a bodyguard opened the door for Luo Maoyuan.

However, his assistant approached him and whispered some news in his ear, causing his facial expression to turn dark.

"Xiao Zhu, there really is such a thing," Luo Maoyuan told his assistant.

The assistant confirmed the news: "It is true, Chairman Gao, who started the shipyard is personally accompanying him, and he is at the dock."

Luo Maoyuan's mood soured, and he reacted coldly to the vice president of Qidong Shipyard. He got into the car and slammed the door shut, angry and frustrated at the scale of the young man's planned purchase.

As the car hummed to life, Luo Maoyuan turned to his assistant seated in the co-pilot seat and issued a command, "Xiao Zhu, gather all the detailed information on Global Ocean Services and have it ready for me when we return."

Xiao Zhu's respectful response confirmed his understanding of Luo Maoyuan's sentiments towards Universal Company.

Having worked with Luo for several years, he knew that any company that dared to challenge the Risheng Ocean Shipping Group's position would incur his boss's wrath.

In Luo Maoyuan's eyes, he was the king of ships in Yan Country, and Renhe Renhe Company was not to be challenged by anyone.

His initial encounter with Universal Company occurred when they secured a small crude oil transportation business with the Yanguo Petroleum Group.

Although slightly dissatisfied then, he mentally noted the company's name.

As he learned of Universal Group's recent acquisition of ships from Qidong Shipyard, Luo Maoyuan's discontentment grew.

He intended to warn the company sternly and ensure they knew their place.

Meanwhile, Liu Yong and his team arrived at the dock and were greeted with three enormous ports and two entirely constructed oil tankers.

The sheer scale of the operation was impressive, but Luo Maoyuan's growing animosity towards Universal Company cast a shadow over the remarkable display.
