Chapter 150 We Won!

"Good morning, Luo Maoyuan. Is everything alright?" asked He Jinyou, the CEO of Yanguo Offshore Oil Group.

Luo Maoyuan responded with a tone of frustration and anger, "Boss, we have a problem. Our ship, the 'Anton,' has broken down in the Indian Ocean. The propeller is entangled with fishing nets and has been deformed and damaged. We can't continue sailing."

He Jinyou was shocked by this news and asked, "How could this happen?"

There was silence on the phone as no one knew what caused the issue, leaving it an unsolved mystery. Luo Maoyuan expressed his anger towards fishing nets, as it was not the first time that their ships were entangled with them.

"Boss, what should we do now?" Luo Maoyuan asked.

Luo Maoyuan had no choice but to send a tugboat to rescue the stranded ship. They had lost all power, and leaving the vessel adrift in the sea was impossible.

Meanwhile, at Yanguo Offshore Oil Group Headquarters, He Jinyou held a meeting to discuss the outcome of the bid. Several high-level leaders, grassroots or middle-level leaders, and other related personnel attended the meeting.

It was an important meeting, and He Jinyou addressed everyone and announced that the official results of the bid would be declared at eleven o'clock.

During the meeting, opinions were expressed. Some people suggested that Risheng Ocean Shipping Group should win the bid, as they had a sizeable total tonnage and rich experience in ocean shipping.

However, some people disagreed and thought that Universal Group should win the bid, as they had large tankers, including four 100,000-ton ships and two 200,000-ton ships. Several tankers were also under construction at their shipyard, which meant they had no problem handling the job.

However, some people opposed the idea, citing that the Universal Group had only been established for a few months, there were too many unstable factors, and they needed more experience in ocean transportation.

Despite the different opinions, nearly half of the people in attendance advocated that Risheng Ocean Shipping Group should win the bid, and about one-third believed that Universal Group was the better option.



He Jinyou frowned and checked the time. It had been more than half an hour since they began discussing, and he felt the need to decide. However, his assistant entered the room and whispered something in his ear, causing his face to change.

He Jinyou asked his assistant if the situation was actual, and upon verification, he became extremely angry, as Luo Maoyuan had lied to him about the condition of the ships.

He immediately made a decision, stating that based on the opinions expressed during the meeting, Universal Group was more suitable to handle the 150 million barrels of crude oil transportation business.

This decision disappointed those who supported Risheng Group, and those who had initially agreed that Universal Company should win the bid were relieved.

At eleven o'clock in the morning, people from several companies participating in the offer arrived at the headquarters of Yanguo Offshore Oil Group. They sat in the conference room, waiting for the official announcement of the result.





He Jinyou walked into the conference room with several people behind him and announced that the business had been awarded to Universal Group.

At this moment, Qiu Yang was a little nervous and quietly looked at Liu Yong as if to say, "Boss, will we win the bid?"

Liu Yong looked at him as if to say, "Don't worry, we have great hopes, and it's probably us. The biggest competitor has ships breaking down at sea one after another, unable to transport crude oil back on time at all, and the people of Yanguo Offshore Oil Group must have known about it. If they also handed over crude oil transportation to Risheng Group under such circumstances, I wouldn't believe it."

Liu Yong looked at Luo Maoyuan. The other party's face looked terrible, so Liu Yong suddenly felt inexplicably happy.

"Hehe, you're sad now, you're not very arrogant, you have a high tone, and you don't take us seriously. How are you now? Woolen cloth!"

A middle-level executive of the Yanguo Offshore Oil Group made a speech. First, he thanked everyone for participating in this bidding and then, with a severe look, announced the result of the winning bid.

"Everyone, according to the bidding materials submitted by everyone, and based on our several bidding negotiations, we all agree that the winning unit this time is Global Ocean Services!"

"What!" Qiu Yang exclaimed.

"It's Universal, not Risheng!" Liu Yong said.

Many people were taken aback for a moment, and then, there was warm applause in the conference room. Qiu Yang's worries disappeared all at once, replaced by joy, and he shouted,

"Boss, we won the bid, it's like a dream!"

Liu Yong smiled and said affirmatively, "Yes, we won the bid, and we are the final winners."

It took a long time for the applause to subside gradually. Qiu Yang spoke on behalf of Universal.

The main content was to thank Yanguo Offshore Oil Group for its trust in Universal and to guarantee that the 150 million barrels of crude oil transportation business would be completed as required by the contract.

After the meeting ended, many people took the initiative to shake hands with Liu Yong or Qiu Yang.

As for the Risheng Group, as losers, few people paid attention to them, and they were very deserted. Luo Maoyuan's face turned black and white for a while.

He stood up, walked over, and said with a smile, "Mr. Liu, congratulations."

Liu Yong replied lightly, "Thank you."

However, Luo Maoyuan said, "You guys made me very unhappy this time. There will be a long time to come, so you can take care of yourself."

Liu Yong was surprised and annoyed, "What? You actually threatened me!"

Luo Maoyuan sneered and replied, "What are you? Restrain yourself, don't offend us again, and don't think about going against us, otherwise, it will not be three ships parked at sea, but four, five, or more of you."

Liu Yong was furious and retorted, "You idiot, I have several ships at sea, and I still have a long time to come. I think you don't have much time."

Luo Maoyuan snorted coldly and led his people away. As for Liu Yong's words just now, he probably didn't listen to a single word.
