Lin Cheng did not agree to the invitation from the Ministry of Energy of China to return to China for inspection because there was another reason. He had conflicts with the arrangements for two things recently. First, with the arrival of the new year, Nanyang Shipping Company, the world's shipping giant, invited itself to negotiate the shipping business for the new year.
Lin Cheng has always wanted to enter the world shipping industry. This was also due to the Hu family's acquisition of Daocheng Shipyard. Although it barely turned a profit in the past few years, due to the shrinkage of the world shipping industry in recent years, many shipping companies that have paid deposits have Contracts were torn up one after another, causing Qianjin Shipyard to fall into trouble again.
This time Nanyang Rongshi Shipping Company came to Lin Cheng to discuss the issue of the Gulf of Aden transit fee for the next year. Lin Cheng also knew in his heart that he also had other tricks. For such high expenses, Lin Cheng also plans to reduce them year by year. After all, now that there is a money-printing machine in the crude oil capital market, Lin Cheng is too disdainful to keep doing this pirate thing that everyone reviled. The word pirate, After all, it is easy to say but not nice. Since he plans to reduce the amount, Lin Cheng still plans to start with the Rong's Shipping Group, and charge from the first one. It makes no sense that he does not start with the first one in the reduction or exemption.
Lin Cheng has something else to do recently, that is, Chen Xiyong, the first bodyguard of the Saudi Arabian Palace, sent a message saying that he and Fei An'er are now together. Feian'er is not a royal family of any country, she is just an ordinary woman. When she marries into the royal family, she can be regarded as an ugly duckling turning into a white swan.
However, Fei An'er's life in the palace has not been satisfactory, and Lin Cheng also knows this. Otherwise, Lin Cheng wouldn't have killed her husband, and she could have been forced to fall into the arms of others. Of course, this was also related to the fact that the Saudi royal family thought Feianer was unknown and expelled her from the palace, but no matter what, lovers will eventually fall in love Dependents, this is a good thing after all.
????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Every time I go back, my parents can say a few words. Last time I went back in a hurry, so I probably came back before I had time to say anything.
There was still some time before Chen Xiyong and Fei An'er's wedding, so Lin Chengcheng took a plane to Nanyang to meet with the wealthy Rong family in Nanyang.
?????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? Lin Cheng¡¯s heart is really much more generous now, perhaps it is in line with that sentence, the more broad the heart, the greater the achievements in boxing. A narrow-minded person who only knows how to fight bravely can never reach the highest level of boxing.
Lin Cheng took some hatred very lightly. For example, the Rong family found a master to compete with him, and when he failed, he sent gunmen to kill him. Lin Cheng could understand this. After all, he was blackmailing others first, and you were blackmailing others. It's too overbearing to not let people resist.
Rong Bodong is the current head of the Rong family. Ever since his father Rong Ke Rong Jianzhang handed over the giant ship of the Rong family to Rong Bodong, Rong Bodong has been working hard, and the Rong Shipping Group has been developing steadily. In addition to being attacked by Somali pirates, In addition to extorting two huge fortunes, the Rong family has been developing well.
But Rong Bodong said in his heart that it was impossible not to have hatred for Lin Cheng and his gang of pirates. No one¡¯s money was blown by the wind, it was all earned through hard work.
"However, facing a master of martial arts like Lin Cheng, Rong Bodong felt helpless. If he couldn't be beaten to death, he would be killed. It didn't matter if he was killed, the Rong family's century-old foundation would be destroyed in one day. And although Lin Cheng is a thief, he is a gentleman among thieves. To be honest, he did not seize the opportunity and made a wrong choice. Rong Bodong felt hatred in his heart, but even if he hated it, he hated it in his heart.
The Rong family has considerable strength in Singapore, whether in politics, business, or the underworld. It can be said that the Rong family is a giant in Singapore.
In the past half year or so, Rong Bodong has rarely seen his old man. Of course, this is because he is busy with the group's affairs all day long and wants to make up for the group's losses due to pirates. The most important reason is that the old man is a bit mysterious. Rong Bodong heard that He said that the old man made a good friend and drank tea and played chess all day long.
Lin Cheng and Liu Lin walked into the majestic Rong Group headquarters together. The beautiful reception and elegant conversation made the visitors feel like spring breeze. However, when facing Liu Lin, the reception lacked a sense of arrogance and superiority. Liu Lin's temperament during her current practice was very outstanding. In addition to her beauty, her temperament also has a great influence on a woman's appearance.
"Excuse me, sir, do you have an appointment?"
"If you make an appointment now, Rong Bodong will definitely meet me right away."
Lin Cheng¡¯s disrespect made the front desk lady very disgusted. What is Rong Bodong¡¯s identity? In Singapore, it's understandable if you don't know who the Yang di-Pertuan Agong is, but it's inexcusable if you haven't heard of the Wings.
The Rong family has a very large influence in Nanyang.
This person actually called Mr. Rong by his first name, which made Mr. RongThe receptionist who was eating was a little angry. But no matter how angry he was, he could only be angry in his heart. People actually called Mr. Rong by his first name. He was either a second-generation official or a second-generation rich man. No matter what kind of second-generation he was, he was not someone he could offend.
"Please wait a moment, may I ask?" The receptionist's face was as cold as ice, and her work was completely routine.
It didn¡¯t take long, so she put down the phone and said, ¡°Mr. Rong, please wait a moment.¡±
Lin Cheng's trip to Southeast Asia was not driven by Liu Lin's insistence, nor was Lin Cheng's insistence on bringing Liu Lin along. On the contrary, Lin Cheng did not want to come alone, because the last trip to Southeast Asia showed that the Rong family was not a fuel-efficient lamp. There is something dangerous, and Lin Cheng certainly doesn't want his woman to take risks with him.
Although Liu Lin was not officially his woman, in Lin Cheng's eyes, she was just fine. He was not blind, nor was he an idiot. A woman gave up the opportunity to study in a key university to pursue the magical power that seemed illusory to the world. , followed him all the way to a foreign country. If this woman said that she had no friendship with him, even if she killed Lin Cheng, she wouldn't believe it.
Master Liao Chen proposed to let Liu Lin come with him. Firstly, Liu Lin needs to practice to become a master of kung fu, and secondly, the two of them can take care of each other when they are together.
Not long after, Rong Bodong personally came out to greet someone, which shocked the receptionist. When had she ever seen Mr. Rong come out to pick someone up in person? Even if the new head of state came, he would go up directly without Mr. Rong personally coming out to greet him.
"Haha, Mr. Lin, you are here, please, please." Rong Bodong was very polite, and he had to be polite. It was probably what happened a year ago that made him realize the truth, that is, the young man in front of him is a person who takes softness rather than hardness. The harder you are with him, the harder he becomes.
"Haha, Mr. Rong, you are so polite, you are so polite, we are all compatriots, nagging, nagging." Don't reach out to hit the smiling person. Mr. Rong is polite, so he can't always be a bad person. Lin Cheng pointed at Liu Lin next to him , "This is my junior sister."
Lin Cheng didn¡¯t introduce Liu Lin¡¯s name. There was no need. The two nodded to each other, and Rong Bodong accompanied Lin Cheng and Liu Lin into his office.
"Is Mr. Lin here this time?"
"Haha, I'm visiting an old friend and stopping by to see Mr. Rong. I would like to thank Mr. Rong for investing in the construction of Somalia. King Disha of Somalia specifically asked me to convey my gratitude to Mr. Rong. By the way, I will tell you that the Gulf of Aden crossing will be completed next year. The fee is halved, haha.¡±
Hearing Lin Cheng¡¯s initial words, Rong Bodong was a little frightened. Isn¡¯t this guy here to ask for money again? But after listening to Lin Cheng's words, Rong Bodong let go of his worries. It would be best to cut it in half. Who wouldn't be happy to pay less for himself?
Lin Cheng got straight to the point, and Rong Bodong let go of his worries. After Lin Cheng left, Rong Bodong was still thinking about it: Did he come here specifically to tell me that the fee was halved? The more he thought about it, the more he felt that it wasn't the case. He felt a little uneasy. He didn't want to work today, so he simply went back early and discussed it with his father.
If Rong Bodong made drastic changes to the company when he took office and tried to rely on the influence left by his father, the shipping king Rong Ke, then after the incident at the Rong family villa, he had to admit: having an elder in the family is like having a treasure. My father's foresight and determination are by no means comparable to my own.
Seeing the situation in front of him, he decisively agreed to pay without any hesitation. Although his father, Rong Jianzhang, started his business from nothing, he is very open-minded about money. When people are here, money is money. When people are gone, money is just waste paper.
Rong Bodong returned to the villa with a lot of worries. His father Rong Jianzhang happened to be at home, so he told Rong Jianzhang about Lin Cheng's arrival today. Rong Jianzhang didn't speak for a long time.
"Well, you call Lin Cheng. Isn't the annual charity auction about to begin? Ask him if he is interested?"
"Charity auction? Father, I'm afraid that's not possible, right? Isn't this obviously something unrelated?"
"It seems irrelevant, but he did not claim to be a builder of Somalia, and he also said that he thanked us for our contribution to the construction of Somalia. What he said was beautiful, and it happened that our charity theme this time was aid. African children, since he has this heart, we might as well give him a chance."
Rong Bodong was still a little confused. It didn't seem to be relevant, but since his father was talking, he didn't say much and instead called Lin Cheng. Unexpectedly, when he mentioned the theme of charity, Lin Cheng actually agreed, which surprised Rong Bodong. If he were in Lin Cheng's position, he would definitely not make trouble and make a fortune.
Lin Cheng felt that his sincerity had improved a little. He could feel that there was no risk in his trip to Southeast Asia. Instead, he felt a faint sense of joy. This feeling of joy was when he boarded the plane from Bosaso Airport. What I didn¡¯t have was something I only felt after arriving in Singapore and meeting Rong Bodong.
A touch of joy is the embodiment of practicing Tai Chi to the depths. When you practice Tai Chi to the depths, there is no joy or sadness. When punching to the fullest level, there is a touch of joy. Real Tai Chi must be filled with this kind of light joy. The emphasis is on the word light, only then can the punching reach the fullest level. The word "full" expresses the fascination with Tai Chi. Only by being infatuated can you experience the faint joy of being in a state of bliss.
Lin Cheng¡¯s boxing at this time was no longer just about boxing, but he practiced boxing to a spiritual level. It can be said that the way of sincerity is because you have developed your spirit through boxing practice, so you can communicate with and interact with heaven and earth.
When Lin Cheng received a call from Rong Bodong, he agreed without any hesitation. A warrior dares to face everything. This is the spirit.
No matter it is good or bad, even if there are thousands of people, I will go!
Lin Cheng and Liu Lin joined hands to enter the auction venue of this charity conference, the Heads of State Hotel. Lin Cheng is very enthusiastic about charity activities. He had never reached this level before, and no one invited him. Charity is a social and game for the rich.
Such a social venue is the best opportunity to build relationships for those who come to participate. However, for Lin Cheng, he does not know anyone. Compared with the domestic Red Cross Society, which has no idea where the money goes. , at least every penny of this kind of charity can be fair and transparent. Why do you need to mix so many other things into giving love?
Rong Bodong saw Lin Cheng walking into the hotel lobby. He strode towards Lin Cheng and said, "Mr. Lin, welcome, welcome."
"Mr. Rong, hello." Lin Cheng greeted Rong Bodong easily. For Lin Cheng, Rong Bodong was a good person, and he was happy to associate with such a person. The most important thing is that Lin Cheng also extorted a lot of money from the Rong family. This is the key.
Everyone in the venue was surprised when they saw Rong Bodong stand up to greet the young man. Rong Bodong's status in Singapore is definitely a big shot. The four tigers of the Rong family span three circles of business and politics. A well-known figure.
How high is the person who can make Rong Bodong stand up to greet him?
Just when everyone was speculating on Lin Cheng¡¯s identity, Rong Bodong had already finished greeting Lin Cheng. Rong Bodong led Lin Cheng to make a brief introduction to the political dignitaries and business elites in the hall.
Lin Cheng nodded and greeted everyone when they met, but everyone was a little confused. Who was the young man Rong Bodong introduced to them?
But apparently Rong Bodong did not explain in detail.
However, this introduction was not too long. It was over before Lin Cheng could get impatient, and then the charity activities officially began.
The items in this charity event are a bit miscellaneous. They are all items collected by wealthy people in Nanyang, including porcelain, jade, collector's editions of various watches, jewelry, and diamond ornaments.
Lin Cheng wanted to show his love, but it was either watches or jewelry, and they were all worn by rich people. Lin Cheng had no good impression of such things. What kind of charity is this? It's just a junk auction.
But the next string of sandalwood plants said to be blessed by the Living Buddha aroused Lin Cheng's interest. What interested him was not the string of sandalwood plants themselves, but when he stared at the string of beads, he clearly felt the power of thought coming from the beads.
The power of telepathy is strange to say, and atheists would never believe it, but it does exist. Lin Cheng's previous education was atheistic. He originally didn't believe in the power of thoughts and faith in this world. However, in the process of practicing Tai Chi, his spiritual power continued to strengthen and his understanding of the spiritual world continued to deepen. He actually understood I feel that there is indeed a magical power on this string of beads.
