Mr. Yang said politely that he was very pleased that Lu Qiuying had come in person.

He met her in the Minister of the Navy's office in Beijing.

Moreover, the port in Fuzhou is a project that Lu Qiuying is in charge of, so it would be more convenient for her to lead the inspection.

"Mr. Yang, you're too kind."

“We have already arranged the itinerary for tomorrow. You can take a look at it tonight, and we can make changes tomorrow if you have any objections.” Lu Qiuying took the itinerary out of her bag and handed it to him.

Mr. Yang is the leader of this group, and as long as he nods, the others will not have any objections.

"Okay, thank you for your help." Boss Yang glanced at the itinerary, a glint of light flashing in his eyes.

The itinerary revolved around the port, which suited him well.

His main purpose in coming here was to see the port; visiting the shrimp paste factory in Haibi Village was just a side trip.

After exchanging a few pleasantries, the group parted ways.

Lu Qiuying and her comrades from the Ministry of Commerce stayed at a nearby guesthouse.

They came in a hurry, and they still have a lot of materials to prepare tonight. If they return to the city tomorrow, they won't be able to make it in time.

…

On the other side, the Third Court of Justice of Germany.

Lin Jun helped his grandfather, Lin Shaowen, into the audience area. After they sat down, he glanced at the defendant's seat.

Maiwei acted swiftly; almost on the same day that Yanshen Shipbuilding responded to the lawsuit, they put pressure on their superiors to demand an early court hearing.

They may have just reviewed the contract and realized they overlooked important information, which is why they want to take advantage of the time difference.

Lin Shaowen, holding his cane and supporting himself with both hands, looked coldly at Maiwei's representative.

How many shipping companies have been sued by Maiwei to the point of bankruptcy and forced to withdraw from the shipping industry?

Lin Shaowen had a very bad impression of this company, so Rongkai Group basically did not order cargo ships and cruise ships from Maiwei.

"Grandpa, Maiwei's representatives are coming this way," Lin Jun said in a low voice.

Today was the first court hearing, and both lawyers took it very seriously, their expressions solemn.

This time, victory is practically a foregone conclusion.

"It's a pleasure to meet you, Mr. Lin. This is my business card." The representative from Maiwei handed over his business card first.

"I've long admired your name, but I never expected you to be interested in such a minor case."

Lin Shaowen nodded to him, accepted the business card, and said nothing more.

The number of cargo ships that Rongkai Group orders each year is equivalent to the annual sales volume of Maiwei.

As expected, the representative from Maiwei approached him upon seeing him.

"The court session has started," Lin Jun reminded him.

The representatives of Maiwei stood here, and the Chinese in the audience all looked at them, thinking that Rong Kai was on Maiwei's side.

Grandpa was very cold and didn't give the representative a friendly look.

"Lin Jun, what are the chances of winning this lawsuit?"

After the representative left, Lin Shaowen asked a question.

He came here today to see if Maiwei can really provide evidence this time.

Lin Jun said, "Grandpa, Maiwei lost from the very beginning. They underestimated their opponent and thought that Yan Shen was a new company, so they wanted to take a big bite out of him. They kicked a hornet's nest."

The two did not speak to each other after the court session began, and watched the proceedings the entire time.

Almost as soon as Yanshen Shipbuilding submitted a copy of the contract, Maiwei's chances of winning were zero.

Chen Niaoshu's palms were sweating, and she couldn't help but shudder as she looked at the contract.

She never imagined that Lu Yun Shen would be wary of her and Mai Wei from the very beginning.

The contract was submitted back to headquarters, and after they received payment, it was put away and never examined in detail.

"Miss Chen, we've lost face because of your mistake..."

"When you get back to the company, you can explain it to the boss yourself."

After Chen Niaoshu's boss finished speaking with a face full of anger, he left the audience seats.

If Maiwei continues to fight this lawsuit, it will only become more passive and is destined to lose.

In the end, with almost no suspense, Yan Shen Shipbuilding won the case, and the judge even rejected the appeal on the spot.

When the news reached Germany, a shipping magazine published the victory in the lawsuit and praised the added conditions to the contract.

This is the first time Maiwei has lost a lawsuit in this regard, and their public relations department has simply not responded.

“Brother Shen, look at their magazines, they’re just opportunists.”

Last time they mocked us for overestimating ourselves and challenging Maiwei, but now they're praising us. Yang Yanzhou almost cursed when he saw the newspaper.

Lu Yun Shen tore off the fax that had just arrived and read it carefully.

His brow furrowed involuntarily. Maiwei had actually agreed to sell its newest cargo ship?

Was it Chen Niaoshu who persuaded her?

"Brother Shen, you've already won the lawsuit, so why are you frowning?"

After Yang Yanzhou finished speaking, he snatched the fax from his hand, read its contents, and nearly burst into anger.

They fought a hard legal battle, only to have it all benefit someone else. Maiwei knows how to be disgusting.

Tomorrow's newspapers will probably be laughing at their shipping company.

"Which other shipping company in China can afford to buy Maiwei's latest cargo ship on such a large scale?" After calming down, Yang Yanzhou realized something was wrong.

Lu Yunshen tossed him a cigarette. "Isn't it obvious?"

"The Chen family..."

Yang Yanzhou leaned back in his chair, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and squinted as he exhaled a smoke ring.

Chen Yi was very bold; he resigned and went to Guangzhou to develop his career, where he registered a shipping company.

If Chen Niaoshu helps him buy a cargo ship, that would make sense.

"Brother Shen, it seems that the rumor that Miss Chen has taken a liking to you is just that—a rumor."

“Otherwise, she would probably have convinced the company to sell Maiwei’s latest cargo ship to us,” Yang Yanzhou joked.

Lu Yun Shen ignored him, got up and walked out of the office toward the ship's deck.

The waves were huge, and the clouds were low, as if they might suddenly change their tune and spill out a bellyful of water.

Yang Yanzhou leaned against the deck and saw Lu Qiuying. He was about to greet her when Lu Yunshen pulled him back.

"She's working, don't cause trouble." Lu Yunshen's eyes darkened; he had seen those people before.

The one walking beside his sister is surnamed Yang.

"You guys are pretty bold, daring to build such a big port," Boss Yang said with a smile, strolling leisurely down the path.

He glanced at the cargo ship S, which was moored to the side, a few more times.

Fukushi City is surprisingly well-known; a shipping company there was able to afford the S-class cargo ship and even refit it.

Lu Qiuying remained calm and replied, "Mr. Yang, you can interpret this as us having great confidence in the development of Fu City."

This group of people spent almost the entire day asking about the newly built port.

Lu Qiuying's palms were sweating, and she had a vague feeling that these people would invest, and it might even be a big project.

"Minister Lu, have you considered relocating the nearby fishing villages?"

Mr. Yang asked, seemingly casually.

He stopped, faced the sea, and felt the sea breeze on his face.

Lu Qiuying pursed her lips and thought for a while, "I thought about it, but the plan was ultimately rejected."

"The purpose of developing this place is to improve the lives of the villagers, not to drive them away."

"Economic development should also be tailored to local conditions."

Mr. Yang nodded, noting that the development of Guangzhou was completely different from that of this place.

The villages in Fushi have various ancient city ruins, and demolishing and rebuilding them would be a losing proposition.

This is one of the reasons why he came to investigate.

This area is more suitable for developing into a tourist city in the future.
