No.106 Homecoming
The speed of the Continental Hotel once again surprised Lin Cheng.
Just that morning, they had already processed the application for the charitable foundation, and they didn't even bother Lin Cheng to appear in person, and the next day, Lin Cheng directly obtained the relevant business license of the charitable foundation.
The name of the charitable foundation is the Fox Charitable Foundation, which is named after the fox.
After deducting Lin Cheng's private account, the foundation had an extra balance of one billion US dollars on its books, and when he saw that the work efficiency of the Continental Hotel was so high, Lin Cheng simply entrusted the follow-up to the Continental Hotel to help solve it.
For example, the purchase of a shipping company that was on the verge of bankruptcy.
Although the shipping company has sold all the cargo ships, the shipping company is registered in the United States, and all the navigation procedures are complete, as long as the ships are registered under the company's banner, they can be loaded and transported at any time.
God knows how this shipping company went bankrupt, but the lawyer entrusted by the Continental Hotel was stunned to help Lin Cheng complete the whole process with 100,000 US dollars, so Lin Cheng didn't even go out of the hotel door, and there were two more companies belonging to him in his hands, which was very unreal.
As for Lin Cheng himself...... In his hotel room, he set up a large table with scattered Lego bricks and was busy building a blue freighter.
If you want to ask what is the most profitable industry in modern society, the vast majority of people will definitely answer scientific research, medical care, and the Internet.
These new industries have even replaced the old black industries of arms, pharmaceuticals and human trafficking as the most profitable industries, but in fact, there is another industry that can be called profiteering, and that is ...... Logistics.
And it's the logistics of international shipping.
Land transportation can not escape the construction of roads, the tonnage is limited, and it will also be limited by distance, although the distance of air transportation is long, but the volume is very low.
Therefore, shipping is the world's largest, but also the most important long-distance bulk logistics mode of transportation, the huge cargo capacity of ocean freighters and the natural ocean, destined shipping will become the highest construction ratio of transportation.
International shipping companies only need to spend one or two hundred million yuan to buy a container ship with a large volume to start shipping logistics.
Leasing containers to companies and enterprises in need, charging for the leasing of containers, transportation costs for goods, and basically making money back quickly.
Even with the most conventional container ships, a ship can carry at least 20,000 containers, and the charter price of each container is about 5,000 to 10,000 US dollars, and the rent alone is hundreds of millions.
Coupled with the cost of transporting goods, the gross profit is even more than a billion yuan after a trip.
So, if this shipping is so profitable, why aren't people keen on it?
The main reason is because it's a very asset-heavy business.
You need to have money to buy a ship to lease a port, but at the same time, you have to take a lot of risks, after all, the sea is all on an international route, and if you don't have the security personnel and deep background with you, you may be robbed by pirates, or you may be thrown in the queue when you cross the canal.
But these problems are not a problem for Lin Cheng.
He is already rich, container ships can be replaced with toys, the League of Assassins also has ready-made security personnel, or an American company, the only thing that needs to be troublesome is to dock with the ports of various countries, but this is not difficult.
Running a charitable foundation is to burn off the dirty money, and getting an international shipping company is to make clean money.
Lin Cheng didn't want to make a big fuss, so he privately entrusted the relevant matters to the Continental Hotel.
Just paid three or five killer gold coins, the Continental Hotel gave everything to Lin Cheng, in addition to the two companies, but also bought a large number of medical equipment in the United States, as well as some special items, and sent them to Los Angeles.
After explaining to the fox, Lin Cheng flew directly to Los Angeles.
After arriving, he came to the port of Los Angeles non-stop, and in the dead of night, a huge building block cargo ship was conjured up in the port, the model was a 3E-class container ship manufactured by the Danish shipping company Maersk Group.
The cost of renting a port and hoisting is not expensive.
Under Lin Cheng's money offensive, the workers of the Port of Los Angeles quickly loaded the medical equipment that arrived in Los Angeles into containers, and at the same time, Lin Cheng also entrusted the port company to bid for nearly 10,000 containers of goods shipped from Los Angeles to Shanghai.
Lin Cheng spent a total of seven days at the Port of Los Angeles, most of which was spent waiting for cargo to arrive and container cargo to be lifted.
He doesn't need seafarers, under the influence of the infinite building blocks, this freighter can drive itself as if it is alive, and there is no need for Lin Cheng to do it at all, as long as he is on board, the ship can cruise indefinitely.
In the next half month, the brick freighter, which does not need to burn fuel at all, departed from the port of Los Angeles, stopped briefly at the port of Honolulu, and then arrived at the port of Shanghai, the largest port in China.
After the delivery of the goods, nearly $400 million in assets were recorded in Lin Cheng's account.
At night, Lin Cheng is like an ordinary tourist, standing on the sightseeing avenue on the banks of the Huangpu River on the Bund, directly opposite the Oriental Pearl Tower.
However, looking at the waves on the river, the pleasure boats of major domestic banks sailed in front of him, and everything familiar in the past seemed strange to him.
It's his home, but it's not his real home.
About ten minutes later, a young man wearing a casual jacket about the same age as Lin Cheng appeared behind Lin Cheng, Lin Cheng slowly turned around and looked at the young man who appeared beside him, frowning slightly, because he felt a military aura on the other party.
"Hello, is this Mr. Lin?"
"Professor Andreko asked you to come?"
Before arriving in Shanghai, Lin Cheng had already made contact with Professor Andreko.
Although he returned to his own country, he was left unaccompanied.
"I'm from the Security Department of the Shanghai Municipal Bureau, my name is Yan Hongxu, I am responsible for protecting the safety of Professor Andreco, the professor asked me to come here to find you, he is now an expert who enjoys the allowance of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, we can't let him appear in public at will, so we can only ask you to come with me to meet him."
The young man replied with a smile.
After confirming the identity of the other party, Lin Cheng also let down his guard, domestic is not like abroad, he does not need to guard against any possible attacks at all times, in order to facilitate his actions, Lin Cheng began to call the other party a brother and a brother.
This is the most common method he uses as a killer to obtain intelligence in the investigation stage of the operation, so he is very proficient and natural.
“...... By the way, Brother Yan, I heard that all of you in the security department are from the armed police, is this true? ”
"Ah, no, I'm just an ordinary 985 college student, I participated in a selection, and then I joined."
"It's okay, I thought you were all good at fighting."
"Make do with it, I've also trained in the armed police force for a few years."
Lin Cheng shrugged his shoulders and followed the other party all the way out of the sightseeing avenue on the Bund, through the traffic, and came to the Peace Hotel.
