Chapter 77: The Ocean Shipping Safety Law

After walking out of the company, Manager Li Tao took out a tissue and wiped the lingering beads of sweat from his forehead.

Before Zheng Qian played this card, Manager Li Tao had tried his best to dissuade him, thinking Zheng Qian was crazy. However, when Zheng Qian told him seriously why he was doing this, Manager Li Tao finally understood.

The rhetoric he had just used was also taught to him by Zheng Qian; he hadn't expected it to actually fool Chang Dashan.

But Manager Li Tao believed that one could fool someone for a moment, but not for a lifetime. Once Chang Dashan came to his senses, another round of conflict would likely be inevitable.

...

Yenan Dock.

In an extremely luxurious mansion.

Hu Yuebin was exercising on the balcony with his beautiful secretary.

His phone kept ringing, simply endlessly.

Hu Yuebin answered the call with extreme displeasure.

"Hello, this is Hu Yuebin."

"President Hu, is your meeting not over yet? President Chang has also arrived. He says he has a situation to report and needs the three of us to sit down and discuss countermeasures together."

"Is it about Zhengxin Shipyard?"

After receiving an affirmative reply, Hu Yuebin finally pulled up his pants.

"Where are you going?"

On the balcony, the little beauty, who had been thoroughly tossed about, asked with a tone of reluctance.

"Something came up. Hurry up and get ready, then come to the company with me."

Half an hour later.

Hu Yuebin finally appeared before President Ma Wencheng and Chang Dashan with his beautiful secretary.

The flushed red on the secretary's face behind him had not yet faded, and her collar was not fully adjusted.

The two men knew at a glance that Hu Yuebin hadn't been attending any meeting at all, but was instead messing around with this little bitch.

Damn it, they were in a crisis, yet Hu Yuebin actually had the leisure to do such things.

"Speak, what's the situation?"

Hu Yuebin lit a cigarette as soon as he sat down.

After listening to their report, Hu Yuebin's eyes were filled with disbelief.

He had spent the whole night at a nightclub and only woke up groggily at two or three in the afternoon. After hearing the news about Zhengxin Shipyard and Zheng Qian from the two, he finally jolted awake.

"That's impossible. Where would he get that much money?"

Whether Hu Yuebin believed it or not, the equity information was posted on the Administration for Industry and Commerce website, so he couldn't help but believe it.

Zheng Qian invested 100 million to buy into Jinxiu Group? He took 40% of Xu Shuyun's shares?

No wonder Xu Shuyun rejected him and threw herself into Zheng Qian's arms; it turns out she found a big financial backer!

Damn it, she sold herself for 100 million?

Hu Yuebin felt that he had thought of Xu Shuyun as too pure and innocent. If he had known, he would have taken out 100 million to buy shares in Jinxiu Group too.

With a series of moves, not only could he take down Xu Shuyun, but he might also be able to seize control of Jinxiu Group and get a company for free.

Xu Shuyun, oh Xu Shuyun, you think of people too simply. Why would someone give you 100 million for no reason? Do you really think Zheng Qian only craves your body?

His ambition is not limited to that. Zheng Qian doesn't just want to sleep with you; he wants to take away the Jinxiu Group in your hands.

Hu Yuebin revealed a look of disdain; Xu Shuyun was just an idiot.

"President Hu, the most urgent matter right now is Yamei Group's cargo ships and the raw materials on President Ma Wencheng's side. Do you think you can find a way to let my timber be shipped out smoothly?"

"Yes, yes, yes, President Hu. Elder Hu has extensive connections and knows many bosses. Do you think you can help me resolve the timber issue?"

"Heh, don't I know many people? Why must you always look for my father?" Hu Yuebin was a bit unhappy. No matter who dealt with him, they would always mention his father, feeling that his father was better than him.

"Don't worry about the raw materials. I also know many bosses; I will definitely resolve it for you properly." Hu Yuebin agreed immediately.

"President Hu, what about me?" Chang Dashan was a bit anxious; he couldn't afford to delay.

"Heh, he sank my ship; I must make this kid pay the price." Hu Yuebin was furious. "Dafu Timber will ship as usual. I will send twice as many people to supervise it."

"If he dares to sail his ship into me again, I definitely won't let him off!"

Hu Yuebin was puzzled; was the whole ship full of blind people? Zhengxin Shipyard being able to sail a ship like that, it really was just a small company.

"Assistant Liu, notify the legal department immediately to sue Zhengxin Group. I must make this kid pay the price."

Hu Yuebin's series of actions were swift and decisive; he considered himself no weaker than his father.

"President Hu, no need. I have already contacted Zhengxin Shipyard, and they asked me to pass a message to you." Chang Dashan interjected at this moment.

"Oh? What did they say? Is that kid scared?"

"I'm not too sure, but they said they are willing to pay for Yamei Group's salvage fees and the shipyard's repair costs, saying it was just an accident."

An accident?

Originally, Hu Yuebin also thought it was an accident, but now that they had Chang Dashan pass a message, could it still be an accident? It must have been a long-planned ship collision incident.

"Zhengxin Shipyard hit me and then had you pass a message?"

After analyzing it carefully, they had completely determined that Dafu Timber and Yamei Group were in an alliance! Chang Dashan only now realized what this meant.

Isn't it basically saying: I did it on purpose, so what? If the ship capsizes, I'll give you money to salvage it. If the wood sinks, I'll give you enough money to compensate. I just won't let the two of you have a good time.

"Damn, this kid is too arrogant." Hu Yuebin's expression changed suddenly. "Does he think paying money is the end of it? Can he do whatever he wants just because he has money?"

Knock, knock, knock.

"President Hu, I'm from the legal department. There is a matter I would like to report to you."

Legal department?

Just in time.

I was looking for you.

After calling the person in, Hu Yuebin stated righteously that they must firmly pursue responsibility against Zhengxin Shipyard and that the legal department should handle it with full force.

"President Hu, this might be a bit difficult..." Cold sweat streamed down the legal department manager's forehead.

"Difficult? What do I pay you for every year? If there's a difficulty, overcome it for me, understand?"

Damn it, trying to embarrass him in front of two company presidents? Hu Yuebin flew into a rage.

"President Hu, that's not what I meant. I want to say, we have been reported by Zhengxin Shipyard!"

The legal department manager took out a document from the Ocean Bureau and handed it to Hu Yuebin.

"Damn, we were reported? This kid is accusing the victim first?"

After reading the document, Hu Yuebin finally learned what was going on.

"Several of our 10,000-ton cargo ships have been reported for not complying with the 'Ocean Transport Safety Law'. Now they are all detained at the dock and are not allowed to leave the port. The people above said they can only leave port once they are properly maintained."

"How many ships were detained?"

"Basically all the ocean-going cargo ships were detained. Only two 7,000-ton small cargo ships are left, which can only run to Malaysia; they can't even get out to the Atlantic."
