Our Business Services In expansion of Dragon Group’s business, the Group has invested US$6 million in a joint venture with the Nanjing Government to build the Dragon Treasure Boat. This investment is held under the umbrella of a joint venture company Nanjing Dragon Treasure Boat Development Co., Ltd.. This boat is modeled over one of the 63 vessels that Admiral Zheng He used in 1405 during his seven great navel expeditions to the West. The Dragon Treasure Boat demonstrates China's maritime capabilities. At the height of the Ming expansion, Admiral Zheng He led the maritime exploration around the world. Over the next three decades since 1405, Chinese ships sailed round Southeast Asia, crossing the Indian Ocean to East Africa, crossing the Indian Ocean to East Africa, the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. Wherever they went, Zheng He and his ambassadors established diplomatic contacts, extending China's tributary network. Their efforts brought China to the world. Through their cultural exchanges, trade flourished. Together they brought China to the height of its prosperity under the rule of emperor Yongle (1403-1424)*. *Source: Chronicle of the Chinese Emperors by Ann Paludan, 1998 Thames & hudson Ltd, London
