Li Changle suddenly blushed and exclaimed, "Wang Li, you're insane!"
Despite knowing Liu Yong for a long time and being in a relationship with him, she remained relatively conservative and had not yet crossed the final boundary.
This revelation deeply touched Liu Yong.
He knew that having such a wonderful girlfriend was a rare find, but he also understood that he couldn't force her to do anything she wasn't comfortable with. With this in mind, Liu Yong said,
"If I don't send you back to your rental house, how will you get back, Wang Li?"
Wang Li smiled and replied, "Don't worry about me. I'll just take a taxi home, especially since you already gave me a gift. Besides, you two lovebirds should spend some time together."
Li Changle was even more annoyed and threatened, "Wang Li, if you say that again, I'm going to ignore you."
Liu Yong smiled and ordered, "Chen Hu, let's go to the rental house."
Liu Yong had wanted to take Li Changle to a hotel, but he couldn't do so with Wang Li around. He didn't wish Lele to feel embarrassed in front of Wang Li in the future. So, he sent them both to their rental house and bid them farewell.
Even after Liu Yong left, Wang Li continued to joke around and said, "Lele, are you sure you don't want to go to the hotel with Liu Yong?
A handsome and wealthy man like him will surely attract the attention of many women. You don't have to worry about him being snatched away by someone else."
Li Changle replied with conviction, "I trust Brother Yong. He won't do anything to hurt our relationship."
Wang Li shook her head and then handed a small box-shaped item to Li Changle, saying, "You should hold onto this for now. It will provide you with some peace of mind, and when the time comes, it'll ensure that you'll be even happier in that kind of relationship."
Li Changle looked at the small box in her hand, and her face turned red with embarrassment.
It was a condom!
Wang Li had been a bit too bold in giving it to her.
Li Changle protested, but the two girls continued to bicker and laugh for a while playfully.
Qiu Yang hung up the phone with a satisfied expression on his face. The first 100,000-ton bulk carrier for Global Marine Services, Inc. had finally arrived and would be put into use soon.
Currently, the company owns several ships, all of which were below 100,000 tons.
They mostly carried bulk cargo ranging from 20,000 to 30,000 tons and a container ship with 70,000 to 80,000 tons capacity.
Several large ships were being customized in the shipyard and still undergoing intense manufacturing. The estimated delivery time for these ships was at least two to three months away.
All of the current ships owned by the company were second-hand vessels. Some were 70% to 80% new, while others were 90% new.
The advantage of buying second-hand boats was that they were relatively cheaper, despite being a little older.
The key benefit was that they could be used immediately after purchase, allowing the company to begin new sailing routes as soon as possible.
Qiu Yang's managerial skills were exceptional, and the company overgrew under his leadership. He managed all business operations in an orderly manner.
Currently, the company has several routes open, such as coastal routes from Huahai City to other major domestic ports and routes from Huahai to RB.
With the purchase of the 150,000-ton bulk carrier, Qiu Yang planned to utilize it for the route to Australia to transport iron ore back to China.
Dongshan Deep Water Port was one of the largest seaports in the world, located on an island over ten kilometers east of Huahai City.
The island was called Dongshan Island, and the port was known as Dongshan Deepwater Port.
The port area of Dongshan Island consists of the sea surrounding Dongshan Island, the Donghai Bridge, and the Dongshan Port Free Trade Zone.
Its estimated annual container throughput is in the tens of millions, with a total area of 25 square kilometers. It has four port areas: east, west, south, and north.
Can hear the sound of cranes and forklifts everywhere as they load and unload containers onto trucks and trains, constantly in motion.
People in work clothes are busy moving back and forth, directing the operation of the port. In the distance, you can see rows of towering cranes responsible for handling containers from the giant ships.
Dongshan Port is a transportation hub and an important distribution center for goods in China and worldwide.
Shi Libing, the eldest son of Proton Ocean Shipping Group, is currently in the port area accompanied by a large entourage.
His primary objective is to oversee the operations of Proton's business.
As the assistant to the president, Shi Libing holds a significant position in the Proton Group, with authority over tens of thousands of employees.
Due to his status, he exudes a sense of superiority, and those accompanying him are primarily from the Proton Group.
"My lord, do you see that? That is our group's largest container ship, named the 'Golden Bull'. It measures 326 meters in length, 51 meters in width, and has a draft of 26 meters. The vessel is capable of carrying up to 16,234 standard containers, making it one of the twenty largest container ships in the world."
Du Genhua, a middle-aged man who accompanied Shi Libing, was one of the highest-ranking executives in the Proton Group.
He was crucial in overseeing the entire group's ocean shipping business. Logically, his status was higher than that of the assistant to the president, and he did not require an escort.
However, since Shi Libing was the eldest son of Proton Group's boss, Shi Wanquan, and the future heir of the company, Du Genhua was assigned to accompany him.
As he listened to the introduction, Shi Libing expressed his satisfaction by nodding while gazing at the "Golden Bull" anchored by the nearby pier.
In Dongshan Deepwater Port, the Proton Group had several large ships docked.
Some vessels were in the process of unloading, while others were getting ready for loading. The bustling activities indicated a busy and thriving business.
The ships belonging to the Proton Group are easily recognizable due to the prominent logo and each vessel's hull adorned with colossal lettering. For instance, the "Golden Bull" has two extensive characters of "Golden Bull" painted on its hull, making it easily noticeable.
Suddenly, Shi Libing halted and gestured towards a distant ship, asking, "Which company does that ship belong to? It's quite massive, at least around 150,000 tons."
The vessel in question was a massive bulk carrier, smaller than the "Taurus" but more substantial than most ships, with an estimated capacity of 150,000 tons.
Du Genhua replied, "That belongs to Global Ocean Services. It seems to have arrived only yesterday."
Shi Libing had heard of this company before and asked,
"What kind of company is Global Ocean Services? Is it also an ocean shipping company in Huahai City?"
Du Genhua confirmed that Global Ocean Services was, in fact, an ocean transportation company in Huahai City that had rapidly developed despite being relatively new.
After listening to the introduction, Shi Libing reiterated that Proton Group was the leader in the ocean shipping industry in Huahai City, and no other company could threaten its position.
Any company that tried to compete would be eliminated. Du Genhua agreed and expressed his approval.
After a moment of contemplation, Shi Libing issued an order, stating that he wanted a detailed report on Global Ocean Services delivered to his desk by the end of the day.
A nearby subordinate promptly agreed to carry out the task.
At ten o'clock in the afternoon, Shi Libing returned to Proton Company and entered his office.
He sat on the boss's chair and found that the requested documents on Global Ocean Services were already on his desk. As he read through them, his expression grew increasingly unhappy.
After finishing the materials and placing them back on the desk, Shi Libing contemplated that Global Ocean Services was developing alarmingly, which could have been a more favorable circumstance for Proton Group.
As a result, he believed that they needed to cause some trouble for the competing company.
