I chose one of four options at the start, and I chose the number one clan in Lingnan.

Surachai, standing on the law enforcement boat, could already see the convoy of protective vehicles on the port road.

He had originally been told that Chen Qihai would only send a lawyer to file an appeal.

Now, with thirteen Chinese businessmen providing joint guarantees and five security companies submitting their filing documents to the port authority, the situation has deviated from Mitsui's initial assessment.

Chen Zhendong did not allow the security personnel to enter the dock operation area.

He left the equipment in the car, everyone wore recording devices, and the legal team stood guard in front of the maritime office.

Chen Qihai walked up to Surachai and handed him three documents.

"Linhai No. 7 is a victim of a piracy case. Security personnel entered the unnamed island after receiving a rescue request, and the equipment list has been submitted."

You may inspect the vessel and verify the evidence, but the legal basis for the detention period must be stated.

The young woman standing next to Chen Qihai opened her tablet computer.

Her name is Chen Jianing, she is 27 years old and the Vice President of Supply Chain at Qihai Holdings.

She was in charge of the digital dispatch system for the three warehouses in Haiqing Port. After the Linhai No. 7 lost contact, she participated in the verification of container data throughout the process.

Chen Jianing placed the two sets of time records in front of Surachai.

"When the Security Agency issued the seizure order, Basong's case had not yet been registered, and the case number cited in the document was generated forty-seven minutes later."

Qihai Holdings has submitted a procedural objection to the supervisory authority. If the inspection exceeds four hours, we will apply to the court to lift the seizure.

Surachai flipped through the documents, sweat beading on his forehead.

Mitsui only told him that Mr. Lin was carrying undeclared equipment, but did not mention the loopholes in the case registration time. If he continues to detain the ship, all the responsibility will fall on the Safety Agency.

Surachai turned and instructed the law enforcement officers: "The scope of the inspection is limited to ship certificates, security equipment, evidence from piracy cases, and container seals."

The inspection process was jointly recorded by the port authority, Kai-Hai Holdings, and the shipowner; no one was allowed to handle the evidence alone.

Two law enforcement vessels approached the Linhai No. 7.

Wang Dehai had already placed the documents on the dashboard.

The crew list, navigation log, diversion instructions, and communication interruption records are all sorted by time.

Basong's satellite phone was placed in a transparent evidence box, which was sealed with three seals.

After checking each item, Surachai could not find the entrance to the ship.

The security equipment remained on the three seaplanes and was not loaded onto the cargo ship.

The Linhai No. 7 deviated from its course due to a forged port dispatch code; the captain has submitted a controlled account of the incident.

The container was not opened, and the temperature control records were transmitted back every four hours, with a complete data chain.

When the port inspectors took out the golden fruit samples, Chen Jianing requested that the three testing agencies sign off on them.

"From unpacking and sampling to sealing, everything must be entered into the port's traceability platform."

Any test report must correspond to the container number; Qihai Holdings does not accept retest conclusions without original data.

Surachai understood who she was wary of, but did not object.

The inspection ended three hours later.

The Linhai No. 7 is ready to enter the port.

The port dispatch center lifted the restrictions, and the two tugboats sailed out of Haiqing Port.

The Linhai No. 7 entered the main channel under the escort of law enforcement boats and seaplanes, and the Chinese business representatives waiting on the shore took out their mobile phones to record the event.

When the first container landed at the dock, the Lin Family Overseas Emergency Center received complete unloading data.

The boxes containing the golden fruit are printed with the Tazhai field number. Scanning the code allows you to check the harvest date, test report, and temperature throughout the process.

The tasting area set up in advance by Qihai Holdings was quickly filled with buyers, and the original local quota of 3,000 boxes was sold out within 40 minutes.

The purchasing representatives from the Hong Kong Food Association cut open the golden fruit; the flesh was perfectly balanced between sweet and sour, and its storage condition met the contract requirements.

He immediately placed an additional order for 12,000 containers and asked Qihai Holdings to reserve a batch of shipping slots.

Salt-tolerant rice and high-oil soybeans have also entered the port area's testing line.

Local food processing companies were initially worried about fluctuations in the quality of imported grains, but after Tazhai published its 84 standards, six factories directly signed annual purchase agreements.

After the frozen seafood underwent microbial testing, the containers from Wangjiacun were transferred to a local chain restaurant warehouse that afternoon.

The three moisture-proof metal boxes at the stern of the cargo ship attracted machinery companies from the South Island.

The box contained samples of Hongtu bearings, machine tool cutting tools, and port machinery control modules.

These products were originally evaluation parts purchased by Qihai Holdings for three factories. The value of the goods was not high, but the market response was greater than that of agricultural products.

Nandao United Machinery Plant installed Hongtu bearings into the port machinery test bench. After running continuously for two hours, the shaft temperature and vibration data both exceeded those of the Mitsui products previously used.

The factory purchasing manager took the report to Chen Jianing and requested that Lin's Heavy Industry's technical personnel be sent to the South Island to establish a service point.

The number of orders at the port has been rising steadily.

The company expanded its golden fruit business from an initial 3,000 boxes to 20,000 boxes, secured a 12-month procurement plan for rice and soybeans, and obtained trial contracts from three factories for Hongtu Bearings.

Local distributors who initially just wanted to watch the excitement have started vying for the next batch of container quotas.

After receiving the market data, Mitsui Minamijima Industrial Park held another internal meeting.

Matsumoto Yasuo looked at the order statistics of Haiqing Port, his palm resting on the edge of the table.

"Our attempt to seize the ship failed, and Lin's heavy industrial parts entered the South Island market again."

Once Hongtu Bearing completes its local testing, Mitsui's contracts with four port machinery repair shops will be affected.

Kuroda Masanobu replied via remote conference: "The compensation payment will not be made for now. The Lin family has already completed the delivery, and the piracy case has entered the local process. We'll wait until the deadline, and then have the lawyers refuse on the grounds that the amount is too high."

He is still waiting for a result.

Chen Qihai's cooperation with the Lin family was only temporary. After the goods were delivered, Qihai Holdings had no reason to bear the long-term port pressure for the Lin family.

As long as Mitsui retains the warehouse and maintenance contracts, the Lin family's fleet will not have fixed berths.

Inside the conference room at Haiqing Port, Chen Qihai was pushing a new equity document in front of Lin Ting.

Both parties participated in the meeting via encrypted video, with Chen Jianing responsible for presenting the list of assets in the port area.

"Qihai Holdings owns two 10,000-ton berths, three bonded warehouses, and a controlling stake in the port dispatching company at Haiqing Port."

The delivery of the first ship proves that the Lin family has a stable source of cargo and independent transportation capabilities.

Qihai Holdings is willing to transfer 50% of the operating rights of this platform to Lin's Logistics.

Chen Qihai turned to the signature page.

"The dock revenue is split equally between the two parties, with the Lin family responsible for cargo sourcing, fleet management, and equipment upgrades."

Qihai Holdings will handle local procedures and customer channels, ensuring that Lin's vessels will no longer rely on temporary berths when entering Haiqing Port.

Lin Fu checked the assets and liabilities and the port permits and confirmed that there were no hidden debts.

Lin Ting left his name on the electronic signature page.

"Lin's Logistics will send a resident team to Haiqing Port. Warehousing, dispatching, and container data will be uniformly connected to Tazhai, while Qihai Holdings will retain local backups."

After the equipment upgrade is completed, the port area will increase its annual processing capacity by three million tons.

Looking at the renovation plan, Chen Jianing couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lin, from the time the Lin Hai No. 7 lost contact to the departure of the seaplane, the Lin family only took three hours."

Your overseas dispatch team is newly established, yet its efficiency surpasses that of many established shipping companies.

I want to visit Tazhai to see the complete system, and I also want to participate in the transformation of the port area's digital platform.

Lin Ting did not agree immediately.

"Once the port area project enters the implementation phase, you can bring your technical team over. Data access will be granted in a tiered manner, and core ship parameters will not be shared with external platforms."

Chen Jianing noted this sentence into the project documents. She was originally concerned about the source of Lin's goods, but now she wanted to figure out how this scheduling system worked.

Chen Qihai then retrieved the bank receipt.

The 450 million yuan advance payment under the original contract has been converted into a five-year performance bond through a supplementary agreement and will no longer be used to offset the first purchase.

Qihai Holdings' board of directors approved the first phase of framework payment of RMB 3 billion, all of which will be deposited into a joint-management account.

"Lin has completed the first batch of deliveries, and the remaining 3 billion yuan has been released. After the second batch of goods is inspected and accepted, the joint management restrictions will be lifted, and Lin can directly withdraw funds according to the contract terms."

A bank terminal popped up with an account entry record: the final payment for the 3 billion yuan purchase had been received.

The transfer of 50% of the operating rights of the Haiqing Port operating platform has been completed.

Lin Fu filed the two documents and then looked at the Mitsui mail timer.

Only one minute remains until the 24-hour deadline.

Fifty-nine seconds.

Thirty-six seconds.

Masanobu Kuroda has still not sent a reply.

With the countdown entering its final ten seconds, Lin's overseas account received a cross-border remittance notification.

Payer: Mitsui Group Southeast Asia Headquarters.

Amount: RMB 360 million.
