The ship, idle for the past two years due to dull sale, is soon to be chartered. In more than 40 years, the vast and deep ocean gave Li Changxian everything except worries. But ever since the inception of the global financial crisis two years ago, the 44-year-old billionaire has fallen in the blues.
