Several groups are eyeing this business, including Risheng Ocean Shipping Group.

In the chairman's office of Risheng, Luo Maoyuan sat smoking a cigar while listening to a subordinate's report. As he heard, his face gradually darkened.

"Boss, as far as we know, two more giant ocean-going oil tankers from Universal have arrived, both of which are 200,000-ton class," the subordinate reported.

Luo Maoyuan's face became gloomy, and he said grimly: "So, there are already a total of six Guangyuan ocean liners under the Universal Company, with a total tonnage of 1 million tons."

"No," replied the subordinate, "it should be 8 ships. In addition to 4 100,000-ton ships and 2 200,000-ton ships, they also have a 40,000-ton class and a 50,000-ton class. The tonnage has reached 1.1 million tons."

Luo Maoyuan's face grew even gloomier at this news.

"Boss, the crude oil transportation business of Yanguo Offshore Oil Group will be called for public bidding, and the highest threshold is to require the total tonnage of other ocean shipping to exceed 1 million tons. Obviously, Universal fits that bill," the subordinate continued.

Luo Maoyuan's voice rose several degrees, "That means Universal may participate in this bidding, doesn't it!"

"It's not a possibility, but a certainty!" the subordinate replied.

"150 million barrels of crude oil transported from country A in the Middle East to Yan country, in the eyes of any ocean shipping group, this is a piece of fat. Universal has the strength, so it will definitely participate," the subordinate added.

Luo Maoyuan's face was so gloomy that he could squeeze out water, and he said fiercely: "Our Risheng Group is bound to win this business, and no one can take it away."

The subordinate nodded quickly in agreement.

Meanwhile, at the Hanhai Culture Company, Liu Yong was invited to view some exquisite porcelain by Ding Wen.

"Brother Yong, look at how exquisite these porcelains are, and they are so well preserved. It's really rare. Each piece is very valuable. Others may only have one or two pieces. We have a total of more than 50,000 pieces," Ding Wen said excitedly.

On the desk were several pieces of exquisite porcelain.

Ding Wen held a Longquan kiln blue-glazed chrysanthemum petal-pattern dish, which was very delicate and well preserved, a genuine art treasure.

"This is such a blue-glazed dish with chrysanthemum petals. There are more than a thousand pieces in total, which is unimaginable," Ding Wen added.

Liu Yong said, "There are so many porcelains, at least 80% to 90% of them will be sold, and nearly half of them will be sold. How much time do you need?"

Ding Wendao replied, "The quantity is a little bit too much. Apart from the slow sale between us, including a series of auctions held by ourselves, I will cooperate with other auction houses to sell them as soon as possible. It is estimated that it will take about a year."

Ding Wen believed that the market for antique collections is still huge and there should be no problem digesting these porcelains. It just takes time.

In addition, there is also the issue of depreciation due to the large quantity. However, Ding Wen has plans to try to minimise the depreciation.

Liu Yong said, "One year is one year, I will give you one year, and I will be satisfied if I can sell nearly half of it."

Ding Wendao reassured him, "Brother Yong, within the next year, we will gradually exchange these items into cash. I will settle the bill with you every month and remit the money to your account."

Liu Yong agreed, "Yes, no problem."

Suddenly, there was a knock on the door, and a department manager from Hanhai Culture pushed in and reported loudly, "Boss, Mr. Shen Zhouping has arrived."

Ding Wen happily replied, "Oh, invite him in."

Liu Yong stood up and said, "Then I will take my leave."

Ding Wen sent Liu Yong to the entrance of Hanhai Culture and then happily arrived at the exhibition hall. As soon as he entered, he could see tens of thousands of Song porcelains on display here. Of course, he also saw Shen Zhouping.

"Mister Shen!" Ding Wen greeted loudly.

Shen Zhouping was holding a piece of white porcelain from the Dehua kiln and was fascinated. When he saw Ding Wen, he said excitedly, "Mr. Ding, you didn't tell any lies. It's actually such Song Dynasty porcelain."

Ding Wen laughed, saying, "This is only a small part, and we store more in the vault."

Shen Zhouping was astonished and said, "What! Is this just a small part?!"

He had spent his whole life identifying and researching ancient porcelains, and he had never seen so many Song porcelains at one time.

Ding Wen said proudly, "Go, I'll take you to have a look."

Shen Zhouping put down the white porcelain in his hand, followed behind, and walked to the front of Hanhai Culture's vault under the leadership of Ding Wen.

Ding Wen inserted the key, verified his fingerprints, entered the password, opened the thick door of the vault, and walked in with Shen Zhouping.

Shen Zhouping was stunned and opened his mouth slightly!

In terms of logic, considering his age of over 60 years, Shen Zhouping has never witnessed anything that could shake him up. He had always been able to remain calm, but this time, he couldn't control himself.

"It's all porcelain!" Shen Zhouping exclaimed.

Their room was filled with porcelain, with tens of thousands of pieces present. Even in the exhibition hall earlier, he was astounded by the quantity of porcelain on display.

He couldn't have guessed that there were even more pieces here, several times the number in the exhibition hall.

Shen Zhouping picked up a piece of porcelain with care and examined it thoroughly before returning it to its original spot. He repeated this process with another article and another.

Meanwhile, Ding Wen stood beside him with a smile on his face, observing Shen Zhouping's reactions.

After about ten minutes and having examined more than twenty pieces of porcelain, Shen Zhouping decided to stop and take a proactive step: "Mr. Ding, I joined Hanhai Culture, and I can sign a contract with you now."

Ding Wen was delighted with this offer. With Shen Zhouping on board, all the Song porcelains would come with authentication certificates he signed, making them much easier to sell.

"Mr. Shen, I have prepared an employment contract for the Chief Ancient Porcelain Simple Master for you. Go to my office and have a look at the contract. If there are no issues, we can sign the contract," Ding Wen informed him.

"Okay, let's go to your office," Shen Zhouping agreed.

Meanwhile, the Yanguo Offshore Oil Group's bidding process drew closer, and Universal was determined to win this business. Liu Yong led the team, including Qiu Yang, several subordinates, and related personnel, who had already boarded the plane to the capital.

Hu Shijun had to remain at the company.

Liu Yong and Qiu Yang sat next to each other in the first-class cabin. The plane had already taken off, and Qiu Yang updated Liu Yong on the relevant situation.
