Chensheng Technology currently has two main products, arc cars and companion robots.

As for other large silicon wafers, new Ebola virus vaccines, various new energy vehicle parts, etc., they are not considered the main business of Chensheng Technology, at most they are a side job.

Even today, Chensheng Technology is a leading enterprise in the large silicon wafer industry.

After all, compared with Arc Automobile and robotics businesses, the revenue of Chensheng Technology's other businesses is really not worth mentioning, and it is less than a fraction of Arc Automobile's annual revenue.

Although arc cars and companion robots are both high value-added products, one thing is that they are both large products and most of them are exported abroad.

Therefore, the transportation issue of overseas trade is the top priority.

In the early stages of the business, Chensheng Technology chose to cooperate with shipping giant Maersk Group.

However, with the establishment of Universal Trading Company, all of these businesses were handed over to Universal Trading Company for management.

You know, Chensheng Technology is a super big customer.

Last year, Chensheng Technology's foreign traded nearly 20 million cars, of which more than 80% were exported.

What is this concept?

That is to say, last year, the Universal Trade needed to ship more than 15 million cars to all over the world.

In addition, Chensheng Technology also needs to import various parts from non-core parts manufacturers around the world. As Party A, Chensheng Technology designates the other party to use the transportation of Universal Trading Company.

This is also a huge business.

In order to meet business needs, the Universal Trading Company, which has been established for less than two years, has expanded rapidly and ordered ocean freighters from major ocean ship manufacturing companies around the world.

At present, the entire Universal Trading Company has 21 super-large ocean freighter with a total of more than 300,000 tons, 34 large ocean freighter with a total of more than 200,000 tons, and 107 freighter with a total of more than 100,000 tons.

It can be said that in order to build this super ocean fleet, Qin Ruolan almost exhausted all the funds of the Lu Chen family trust.

If Lu Chen hadn't made money faster, he wouldn't have afforded the funds to build this fleet.

Don’t forget that there is more than one Universal Trading Company in the Universal Group, and there is also a Universal Agricultural Company that is the best in Africa. For this company, Lu Chen spent more resources.

The investment in Cania infrastructure projects alone exceeded hundreds of billions of summers.

Of course, in terms of maritime freight scale, the Universal Trading Company, which controls 162 large ocean freighters, is definitely not the largest maritime freight company in the world.

Currently, Maersk Group, which ranks first in the world's shipping companies, has more than 500 container freighters in total and owns more than two million containers.

Of course, Maersk Group's freighter cannot compare with Shanghuanyu Trading Company so crazy, with a base of 100,000 tons and no limit on it.

Therefore, in terms of carrying capacity, Universal Trading Company is not much weaker than the other party.

The real gap between the two sides is in the global ports.

Maersk Group was established in 1904. Its routes cover more than 130 countries and more than 600 ports. In this regard, the Universal Trading Company, which has just been established for less than two years, is far from comparable to the other party.

To date, the ports covered by Universal Trading Company are only distributed in 37 countries, with only 139 ports.

Of course, when it comes to scale, the largest in the world is China Ocean Shipping Company, with a total fleet of more than 1,000 ships, covering more than 1,800 ports in more than 150 countries, which is a pervert.

The reason why Huaguo Oceanwide is still ranked behind Maersk Group is because it cannot compare with the other party in global shipping market share.

Of course, neither Maersk Group nor China Oceanwide Company can compare with the newly established Universal Trading Company.

Perhaps the funds of Universal Trading Company are not bad, but the foundation still needs time to accumulate.

For example, this Fuguang incident.

......

Fuguang is one of the 21 super-large ocean-going freighters under Universal Trading Company.

As a super-large cargo ship with a cargo capacity of more than 300,000 tons, the Fuguang can be regarded as a super giant at sea. Even the Ford-class aircraft carrier is a younger brother in front of it.

The Fuguang is 374 meters long and is taller than a civilized building and 57 meters wide.

When it is filled with goods, the height is more than 60 meters, which is almost equivalent to a 12-story office building.

If it were put in the past, Fuguang, as a cargo ship for the transport companion robot, should have taken the route from the Cape of Good Hope to Europe.

Because it is too big, it is not suitable for the route of the Red Sea and the Suez Canal.

But just two years ago.

The China and the Egyptian government have once again completed the work of widening the Suez Canal's waterway, allowing it to pass through super-large cargo ships of more than 300,000 tons.

Now, the Suez Canal became even more lively.

The Fuxing also chose to go to Europe by the Suez Canal, after all, this road is much closer.

However, while the Suez Canal route is booming, it also has a flaw.

That is, take this route and you will pass through the Gulf of Aden Strait.

The Gulf of Aden is a piece of Arabian waters located between Yemen and Somalia.

That's right, when it comes to Somalia, everyone will involuntarily think of a noun, Somali Pirates.

Pirates, as a profession that emerged with sea shipping, still exists today. It has to be said that they are very "capable".

Because today's pirates are different from those in the sixteenth and seventeenth centuries, they have made it to keep pace with the times.

Today's pirates have been corporately managed, and hijacking cargo ships to pay ransoms is just their insignificant business. The real meaning of their existence is to provide an excuse for major countries to maintain military power in the Gulf of Aden.

Otherwise, the little pirates would have been wiped out in the era of satellites flying all over the sky.

Therefore, the seemingly vicious pirates are actually the ones who take care of the ship.

For example, the Musky Group, which is backed by the world's number one navy, will never be hijacked by pirates in the Gulf of Aden.

For example, the pirates gradually dared not make any more ideas about the ships of China, which were rising in the naval power.

As for those ships that do not have the ability to "escort" countries from afar, I'm sorry, I still have to pay the tolls I should pay.

Fuguang is a typical example.

Since the Universal Trading Company's territory is Cannia.

As we all know, Kania has no navy.

Such an object is the best target for the pirate.

The key is that a 300,000-ton cargo ship is a super big job for pirates.

Therefore, in order to hijack this cargo ship, a famous pirate located in the Gulf of Aden almost came out in full bloom.

A total of more than 30 speedboats surrounded the giant ship Fuguang like flies.

Some people may wonder how a cargo ship larger than an aircraft carrier could be hijacked by a speedboat.

In fact, the specific process of their hijacking of the freighter is as follows: first drive the speedboat close to the freighter, then install the bomb, and then shout after installing the bomb, and blow your ship through it without stopping.

The structure of the cargo ship is incomparable to that of warships, and these pirates have been hijacking cargo ships for many years, so they are very clear about the weaknesses of the cargo ships.

As a result, a cargo ship with a cargo capacity of more than 300,000 tons was humiliated by a group of pirates, and together with the twenty-seven employees of the Universal Trading Company on the freighter, they all became hostages of pirates.

Because the tonnage of the Fuguang number hijacked this time was too huge, it also became international news.

The media in China are reporting on the hijacking of the Fuguang cargo ship by Somali pirates.
