Chapter 54 Colab + Cooperation -

The following day, Liu Yong arrived at the company bright and early. Upon entering his office, he promptly organized the items he had brought: a pair of delicate porcelain figurines and a stylish gold flintlock pistol, which he intended to use as decorative accents in his workspace.

Liu Yong even brought gold and silver coins to his office, which he placed in a glass cabinet for the time being to serve as decorations. He figured that some of the coins were likely quite valuable, and he planned to have them appraised by a professional when he had the chance.

With everything arranged to his liking, Liu Yong gazed upon the coins with satisfaction before making himself a cup of coffee and settling into his Boss's chair to enjoy it relaxedly.

Qiu Yang and the rest of the team managed the company's affairs, so Liu Yong didn't have to be involved in the day-to-day operations.

After enjoying his coffee, a knock was at the door, and Qiu Yang entered the room. He had just finished a meeting with other management team members, which lasted around 30 to 40 minutes, and had come to update Liu Yong on the outcome.

Liu Yong said: "Sit down, how is the company's situation recently?"

Qiu Yang had come to report the company's current status to Liu Yong. As soon as he asked, he gave a detailed update.

"We have successfully positioned our first bulk carrier, and we plan to ship our first coal shipment to RB tomorrow. Additionally, the construction of the 100,000-ton container ship we booked at Qidong Shipyard has already begun,"

He reported.

Liu Yong listened intently, taking in all the details of the report.

As Liu Yong listened to the update from Qiu Yang, a sense of satisfaction began to spread across his face. The company's progress was pleasing, and it was a relief to know that the first shipment of coal would soon be on its way.

But Qiu Yang had more news to report.

"Boss, there is a matter that requires your attention. We have received an offer to purchase a 150,000-ton bulk carrier that is 70 to 80% new, and negotiations with the seller are currently underway,"



He informed Liu Yong.

Liu Yong felt great pride, "If you believe the price is reasonable, go ahead and make the purchase. But remember, in the future, we should aim to acquire larger vessels, those with a class of 100,000 tons or more. Let others handle the smaller ships ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 tons. They are not what we need."

He was confident in the company's potential and knew it could handle more extensive operations. With this in mind, the company would focus on acquiring ships that could handle more significant volumes of goods, emphasizing vessels larger than 100,000 tons.

Indeed, ships ranging from 10,000 to 20,000 tons are not necessarily small, but Liu Yong held a particular disdain for them. The company focused on establishing itself in the global ocean-going market, and on achieving this goal, it needed to acquire larger vessels. These larger ships would enable the company to undertake larger-scale operations, resulting in higher profits in the ocean-going business.

Of course, the investment required to acquire these large vessels was also significant. Nonetheless, Liu Yong was determined to make the necessary investments to ensure the company's long-term success.





Qiu Yang couldn't help but feel a sense of excitement as he thought about the prospect of the company acquiring vessels larger than 100,000 tons. He knew this would be a significant step forward for the company, putting them on the path to success in the ocean-going business.

With a nod of agreement, Qiu Yang responded, "Boss, we will follow your instructions, and we will ensure that all future vessel purchases are above 100,000 tons."

The news of Liu Yong's plan to invest another 2 billion in the company was overwhelming for Qiu Yang. He couldn't contain his excitement as he heard the news, and his face lit up

with enthusiasm.

The prospect of such a significant investment in the company would enable them to expand its operations further and take on more meaningful projects. Qiu Yang knew that with this investment, the company would be able to achieve its goals and become a significant player in the ocean-going business.

Qiu Yang's excitement was palpable, and Liu Yong couldn't help but smile at his reaction. He knew that the investment news would have a massive impact on the company's employees and their morale.

"I hope you and the management team can work together to achieve this goal," Liu Yong said, his tone serious.

Qiu Yang nodded vigorously, "Don't worry, Boss. We will work hard to make the company the best in the world!"

Liu Yong nodded in satisfaction, "Good. Now, let's discuss the next steps for the company's development."

Qiu Yang was thrilled to be part of such an ambitious company. He realized that working in the world's largest ocean shipping company was a dream come true. He couldn't help but think about how far they could go with a visionary leader like Liu Yong.

Liu Yong smiled and said, "I believe in you, and I believe in our team. Let's work together to create a bright future for our company."

Qiu Yang left the office with a determined look on his face. He felt motivated and inspired by Liu Yong's ambitious vision and investment plan. He was determined to work hard and contribute to the company's growth and success.

As Qiu Yang left the office, Liu Yong settled into the Boss's chair and contemplated his aspirations. He resolved to work diligently and swiftly to become a prominent figure in ocean transportation since that was his ultimate goal.

Capital investment is not a problem as long as Bawang finds a few more valuable shipwrecks on the bottom of the sea; after building a solid transport fleet, we are confident in competition.

If the competitors dare to provoke and do something wrong, Liu Yong will order the Overlord to show them some color.

At around ten o'clock in the morning, Ding Wen came over.

The man who emerged from the elevator appeared winded as if he had rushed to their meeting. Fortunately, Liu Yong had given him instructions, so he encountered no obstacles. The receptionist then led him to Liu Yong's office.

Upon entering the room, Ding Wen immediately presented the cashier's check for the 26 million he had prepared. "Brother Yong, the funds are ready, and so are the goods," he announced.

Liu Yong inspected the check and smiled contentedly. "The goods are yours to keep," he replied. "As for this transaction, do you think we should draw up a formal agreement or contract?"

Ding Wen dismissed the need for a formal agreement with a wave of his hand. "No need, I trust you, Brother Yong," he said casually.

Liu Yong then retrieved the antique watch from his desk drawer and placed it in a beautiful box he had purchased the day before to add a touch of formality.

Upon receiving the box, Ding Wen eagerly opened it and examined the contents repeatedly, unable to take his eyes off the antique watch. After several minutes of admiring it, he exclaimed,

"My dream has finally come true. With this watch, my collection can now be considered top-notch."

After storing the watch away, Ding Wen remarked, "Brother Yong, did you know that I've amassed over a hundred antique pocket watches, but none of them can hold a candle to this one. I'm finally content. With this watch, I can boast for quite some time in my collection circle."

Liu Yong couldn't help but look at Ding Wen a few more times, intrigued by his impressive collection of antique watches at such a young age. He couldn't help but wonder how much money he must have spent on them. Ding Wen may have had a hidden source of wealth, such as a personal gold mine.

Despite Liu Yong's curiosity, Ding Wen did not disclose any information about his family background and did not feel comfortable asking. Since they had only met twice, it would be impolite to pry into his personal affairs so soon.

After admiring the watch, Ding Wen surveyed the rest of Liu Yong's office. Suddenly, his eyes became fixated on something, unable to look away.
