Chapter 775 Shipping Business
He began to contact other companies engaged in shipping business, explained the situation to them and sought cooperation. After some efforts, he finally persuaded several companies to form a joint fleet.
Before the joint fleet set sail for the first time, Qi Tongwei personally cheered up the crew members: "Don't be afraid, we are now a collective. As long as we are united, no difficulties can defeat us." Although there was still a hint of fear in the eyes of the crew members, there was also more determination.
The fleet set off in a mighty manner, and everyone remained highly alert along the way. When they entered the waters near Somalia again, the atmosphere became particularly tense. The lookouts did not dare to relax for a moment and kept their eyes fixed on the sea.
Suddenly, the lookout sounded the alarm again: "Shrimp and Kelp ships spotted!" Several ships were seen approaching the fleet in the distance. This time, the crew did not panic. According to the plan made before, the ships quickly adjusted their positions and formed a tight defensive formation.
The pirates were a little hesitant when they saw the fleet waiting in such a strong position, but their greedy nature made them unwilling to give up this "prey" easily. So they still bravely approached the fleet.
When the pirate ship approached, the ships of the joint fleet used high-pressure water guns to spray water at the pirate ship in an attempt to prevent them from approaching. At the same time, the security personnel on the ship also picked up their weapons and prepared for battle.
The pirates were blinded by the high-pressure water guns, but they still tried to board the ship. Just as the two sides were deadlocked, a pirate ship suddenly accelerated and rushed towards a cargo ship, trying to break through the cargo ship's defenses.
At this critical moment, another ship from the combined fleet arrived quickly and blocked the pirate ship with its hull. The two ships collided, making a huge noise, and the people on the ships were shaken to the ground.
"We can't let them succeed!" a crew member shouted, leading the other crew members to pick up weapons and start a fierce fight with the pirates who boarded the ship. For a while, shouts of killing and the sound of gunfire echoed on the sea.
After a fierce battle, the pirates finally realized that the opponent they met this time was not easy to deal with. Their casualties continued to increase, so they had to give up the robbery and fled in disgrace.
"We won!" the crew cheered. They successfully repelled the pirates and protected the cargo on the ship.
After Qi Tongwei heard the news, a big stone in his heart finally fell to the ground. This victory not only allowed his goods to be transported safely, but also made him see the power of unity and courage.
As time went by, the model of the joint fleet gradually matured, they successfully repelled pirate attacks many times, and Qi Tongwei's sugar export business gradually returned to normal. In the Southeast Asian market, his sugar has won more and more long-term cooperation orders from customers with its stable supply and excellent quality.
In China, Qi Tongwei has not forgotten his original intention. He began to invest part of his profits in public welfare, helping people in poor areas to improve their living conditions. He also provided technical and financial support to some small domestic enterprises, hoping to drive more people to develop together.
In the business field, Qi Tongwei's success has attracted widespread attention. He has been invited to various business forums and conferences to share his entrepreneurial experience and business philosophy. He always emphasizes the importance of integrity, persistence and social responsibility, and has become a role model for many entrepreneurs to learn from.
At the same time, Xu Liangwei was prosecuted due to new criminal evidence, and his days in prison became even darker.
Qi Tongwei's business is booming. Not only has he established a firm foothold in overseas markets, but he has also been expanding his domestic business. However, his success has attracted the covetousness of some people with bad intentions, including Zhang Xiaosan, the son of a business tycoon. Zhang Xiaosan's real name is Zhang Jinlong. He is a well-known local tyrant who relies on his family's power to bully the local area. He saw the potential of Qi Tongwei's company and wanted to take it over for himself.
One day, Zhang Xiaosan and a few of his men swaggered into Qi Tongwei's company. Seeing this, the receptionist hurriedly stepped forward and asked, "Excuse me, what can I do for you?" Zhang Xiaosan glanced at her and said impatiently, "Ask your boss to come out. I have something to talk to him about."
Qi Tongwei frowned after hearing the news, but decided to meet the uninvited guest. He came to the reception room and saw Zhang Xiaosan sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed, looking arrogant.
"Are you Qi Tongwei?" Zhang Xiaosan looked Qi Tongwei up and down, his tone full of disdain.
"Yes, I am Qi Tongwei. I wonder what Mr. Zhang wants to talk to me about?" Qi Tongwei responded neither humbly nor arrogantly.
Zhang Xiaosan stood up and paced in the reception room, saying as he walked: "I heard that your company has been developing well recently. I am also very interested and would like to cooperate with you."
Qi Tongwei knew that the so-called "cooperation" was just a cover for Zhang Xiaosan, and he must have other intentions. So he said cautiously: "Mr. Zhang, thank you for your attention. However, I have a clear direction for the company's development plan, and I have no plans to cooperate for the time being."
Zhang Xiaosan's face darkened, he stopped and said coldly: "Qi Tongwei, don't refuse a toast. There is nothing in this area that I, Zhang Xiaosan, can't do."
Qi Tongwei looked directly into Zhang Xiaosan's eyes without fear and said, "Mr. Zhang, I have experienced countless difficulties and challenges since I started my business. I will not give in just because of threats. If you have nothing else to do, I still have work to do." After that, he turned around and prepared to leave.
Zhang Xiaosan was furious. He pointed at Qi Tongwei's back and shouted, "Just wait, you will regret it one day!"
Since then, Zhang Xiaosan began to secretly make things difficult for Qi Tongwei. He used his family connections to set up obstacles in the business approval process, delaying the approval of some of Qi Tongwei's projects. He also spread rumors to discredit the reputation of Qi Tongwei's company, causing some customers to have doubts about Qi Tongwei's company.
Qi Tongwei's company's business was affected to a certain extent, and the employees began to panic. Qi Tongwei knew that he could not just sit there and wait for death. On the one hand, he actively responded to the doubts of customers and used practical actions to prove the strength and reputation of the company; on the other hand, he began to investigate Zhang Xiaosan's background and look for a response plan.
After an in-depth investigation, Qi Tongwei found that although Zhang Xiaosan was arrogant and domineering, his family business also had some problems. They had violated regulations on some projects, and their capital chain was not indestructible.
