Leveling Up With My Pet

A bustling scene unfolded as two groups converged in front of the seaside warehouse.

The sound of car engines came to a halt as everyone stepped out of their vehicles, one after another.

The familiar faces of Qiu Yang, Hu Shijun, and others greeted Liu Yong as they rushed over to say hello. Upon receiving the urgent call, they dropped everything to come to the warehouse. However, they had no idea what was going on.

Hu Shijun was the first to break the silence, his curiosity piqued.

"Brother Yong, what's happening here? It's quite a commotion."

Liu Yong didn't mince words and divulged the details of the big deal.

"Today is a momentous occasion. Our company will soon receive a significant capital injection. With that, we'll be able to buy at least a dozen giant ships all at once."

The words "a dozen giant ships" reverberated in the air, causing everyone's eyes to widen in astonishment. Qiu Yang, Hu Shijun, and the rest of the group were thrilled at the prospect of the company's impending prosperity.

The purchase of a dozen giant ships would quickly amount to billions of dollars, changing the game for their business.

Liu Yong grinned with satisfaction as he observed everyone's reactions. He then pulled out a key and unlocked the warehouse door, warmly inviting, "Chairman Qian, please come inside."

Qian Feihai was skeptical, asking Liu Yong, "Mr. Liu, you wouldn't tell me that more than a dozen tons of gold are stored in such a warehouse."

Despite the ordinary appearance of the warehouse, Liu Yong proudly replied,

"My ten tons of gold are indeed stored in this warehouse. Come on, let's go in."

Liu Yong led the way into the warehouse, followed by Qian Feihai, Tang Libing, and others who were eager to see the gold. The warehouse's interior was bare, except for a large tarpaulin covering something on the concrete floor.

However, the guests couldn't help but wonder where the gold was hidden. It seemed unlikely that it was placed on the floor and covered with a tarpaulin.

Their suspicions were soon dispelled as Liu Yong lifted the tarpaulin to reveal more than ten tons of neatly stacked gold bricks displayed in front of them without reservation.

The scene was stunningly quiet as everyone was rendered speechless by the display of over a dozen tons of gold, just lying on the ground under a tarpaulin.

A collective gasp broke several seconds of shocked silence for air. Qian Feihai, holding Liu Yong's hand tightly, was visibly excited, exclaiming,

"Mr. Liu, there really is so much gold! I can't believe it!"

Hu Shijun and Qiu Yang were taken aback as they gazed at the staggering amount of gold their boss, Liu Yong, brought in. Hu Shijun couldn't help but think that there was no way Liu Yong could have robbed a particular bank's warehouse.

Liu Yong grinned widely and gestured towards Qian Shengsheng, the company's chairman they were doing business with, and instructed him to inspect the product points.

"Chairman Qian, arrange for your people to inspect the product points. After finishing, we will talk about the details of this transaction here," Liu Yong said with a smile.

"Good, good, good," Qian Shengsheng replied in excitement and immediately called his team to inspect and count the gold bricks.

The professionals arrived, and the room became a hive of activity as they meticulously measured the purity of each gold brick, counted the quantity, and even weighed them on an electronic scale.

Meanwhile, Liu Yong, Qian Feihai, and others discussed the specifics of the transaction.

The price was agreed to be 420 yuan per gram. Although Qian Shengsheng's company had substantial financial resources and a large family business, they would still find it challenging to spend 5.2 billion yuan simultaneously.

Therefore, Qian Feihai proposed to pay half of the payment upfront and the rest within half a month, which Liu Yong agreed to.

The teams from both companies worked diligently for hours to inspect and count the more than a thousand gold bricks. These tedious tasks no longer weighed down the bosses, and Qian Feihai's company would no longer lack gold.

As the day approached noon, Qian Feihai warmly invited Liu Yong for a meal.

"Mr. Liu, it's time for lunch soon. How about we go eat together?" he asked with a smile.

Liu Yong readily agreed to the proposal, and soon the top executives of both companies left the warehouse together. At the same time, the remaining team counted the gold bricks and loaded them into their vehicle.

"So, we have a deal," said Liu Yong to Qian Feihai.

"Absolutely," replied Qian Feihai. "And if we ever come across any more gold, we'll sell it to your company first."

The sale went smoothly and successfully, with half of the funds, a total of 2.625 billion, being remitted to Global Ocean Services' account within 24 hours. The remaining 2.625 billion would be paid within half a month.

The executives at Universal Company, starting from Qiu Yang, shared the same idea - they now had a large sum of money, several billion, to invest.

"What will the company do when it has money?" asked Qiu Yang.

"That's easy," replied Liu Yong. "We'll buy, buy, buy!"

That's why Liu Yong personally visited Start Shipyard that day, one of China's most prominent civil shipbuilding enterprises that could manufacture giant oil tankers, container ships, and bulk carriers of over 200,000 tons.

As they approached Qidong Shipyard, Chen Hu, who was driving, slowed down and pointed out several people waiting at the gate. Hu Shijun, in the back seat, confirmed, "Brother Yong, I must be waiting for you."

Indeed, it was a welcoming committee for Liu Yong, led by a familiar face - Zhang Lian, who had handled his previous orders for a 20,000-ton bulk carrier and two 100,000-ton ocean-going oil tankers at the shipyard.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Hu, welcome to our Qidong Shipyard," said Zhang Lian, approaching them with a smile.

"Thank you, Zhang Lian. It's good to see you again," said Liu Yong, shaking Zhang Lian's hand.

After arriving and exchanging pleasantries, Liu Yong, Hu Shijun, and Zhang Lian walked into the factory area and were about to enter the office building when a large group of people suddenly came out of the building grandly.

"What's going on?" asked Liu Yong.

Zhang Lian smiled. "It's just a celebration for the launch of a new ship. Would you like to join us?"
