Sudija stood in the bow of the ship in high spirits, holding the classical binoculars from his collection, pretending to look out.

At the end of the sea level, a large ship of several thousand tons gradually appeared in view.

"It's so big, the radar just now shows that it doesn't drive fast, it can't be my ocean-going fishing boat, right? I don't seem to think much about the benefits here, and the Huaxia boat won't go that far...... It doesn't matter, it's good to find some stubble and knock on it. ”

He is a fishing patrol captain of Yin Ni, and the specific level is difficult to elaborate. Their level is also very messy, anyway, they are a small boss.

Half an hour ago, he found a suspicious big ship on his ship's radar, it didn't look like it had been filed in his own country, and the speed of the operation and navigation was also very slow, it shouldn't be a cargo ship, so he came to take a look.

Now, after finally visually confirming the other party's ship type, his heart is finally officially eager.

Maybe I'll be able to knock it out.

"Ship ahead, please slow down. We are the Indian mud fish patrol, you have just been stranded in the low-speed operation in our country's exclusive economic zone, please explain the situation. And get ready for the raid!" Sudija shouted through the ship's loudspeakers.

His boat is smaller and faster, so he can easily catch up with the other party. They were ready to go up and board the ship to inspect as soon as the other party was indeed suspicious.

And the other side still seems to be unhurried and has no intention of cooperating. After two minutes, a voice came back:

"We are an ocean survey ship of Lanfang and are carrying out seabed topographic survey works related to the expansion of Lanfang Port. Our port expansion plans are documented with a number of global marine development organizations, including the International Maritime Association.

Please stay away and don't interfere with our operations! Your noise source is too close, and it has interfered with the accuracy of our topographic sonar detection. The daily rent of our ship is as high as 20,000 yuan, if you insist on interference, we do not rule out claiming for malicious delay!"

I'm so arrogant?

"Is there such a legal provision?" Sudiga did not study very well in international law, and hurriedly asked a subordinate beside him who usually read a lot.

Under every leader, there is a relatively literate white fan role, and it is the same in all walks of life.

Sudiga himself did not climb up by virtue of business regulations, it is normal to have shortcomings, and he usually deals with those who secretly catch fish, or steal and steal other seabed property, and he really has never encountered legal scientific surveys by foreign ships.

"I remember that the International Convention on the Law of the Sea seems to mention that the survey and use of new international shipping lanes are not subject to the jurisdiction of the exclusive economic zone of the country.

This is especially true because it is not an economic activity, it is a scientific activity. The jurisdiction of the territorial sea is very broad, and the jurisdiction of the exclusive economic zone only involves the acquisition of resources, and the other party does not obtain economic resources from China's exclusive economic zone, and we have no control. ”

The tallest "staff officer" of the short man next to Sudiga replied.

In fact, the convention was also casually quoted by his horse boy, and he vaguely remembered that there was such a provision, but he didn't remember whether it was in the International Convention on the Law of the Sea.

Just to show off his white fan attributes in front of the boss, he casually said the most common source. It's like a primary school student encounters a famous saying that he doesn't know who said, just follow what Lu Xun said, a truth.

Sudiga scratched his head, and he roughly understood: it was at least 70 nautical miles from the Tameran Islands, not 12 nautical miles. Therefore, if the other party does not fish for things from the sea or exploit resources, he can't take care of it.

"It's so cunning, forget it, just ask for a few red envelopes, just take it as a comfort to yourself, and let this matter go. If you have to go through a raid, you may not be able to find something. After negotiating with Gu Kun for a long time, Sudijia decided to back down if he got some benefits.

He let his boat come up and said that he would conduct a routine inspection to see if there was any contraband on the other party's boat.

He still has this power.

But when he said this, he just wanted a few red envelopes, and the brothers would share one point. So it's hinted in and out of the words, and you don't have to check it seriously if you give some benefits.

However, he soon felt the surprise again.

The other party actually pretended not to understand, and didn't show any signs of giving red envelopes to calm people.

"Don't come close! We are working! Your ship's propeller may be wrenched into our towing sonar! If damage is caused, we will file a complaint through the official international maritime arbitration department!"

Sudiga was annoyed and angry, of course he didn't listen, and had to board the ship to find fault with it.

Naturally, nothing was found, and in the end, I saw a few buckets of live fish at the stern of the cabin, and I had to interrogate the source. Lan Fang people are generous and say that it is boring during scientific research and surveying, and they are fishing for fun.

Recreational fishing isn't a commercial fishing, right?

However, for Sudiga, who had found nothing, it was as if he had found a staircase and immediately collected the barrels of tropical fish, as if this proved that "my suspicions were correct".

Gu Kun watched the other party close the team, and secretly sneered: "Shark arm, wait for Lao Tzu to complain to your boss, touch the porcelain." Even if you want to give a red envelope, Lao Tzu will not give you this kind of person, if you can't kill chickens and monkeys for three years, it is better not to eat. ”

When he went back this time, he complained to the relevant departments, saying that his towed terrain sonar was wrenched by the other party's propeller.

And it was caused by the other party's ignorance of warnings for high-speed approach and dangerous operations.

……

"I finally sent these guys away, alas, brother, I can actually give a few red envelopes to calm things down a little. ”

Watching the other party leave in a huff, Gu Pan was still a little scared in his heart.

Gu Kunyin lit a cigar and analyzed viciously: "It's rare to encounter a chance that I don't have any dirt on my ship, how can I not be hard once?

If I give this today, and I don't leave this area to continue my operations, then tomorrow another patrol ship will continue to knock me. And what if I have something on board next time? I'd rather touch the porcelain now to destroy his prestige, and if I want to give it, I will give it directly to the big man who can manage his complaints. ”

Gu Pan knew that his brother was right.

She frowned and thought for a while, and then asked another question that had been vaguely buried in her heart for a while:

"Brother, you told me yesterday that India and Vietnam have rules and regulations for legal cooperation in salvage, and there are also some foreign businessmen who make regular declarations and make profits. Why do you insist on not revealing your identity? Are you afraid that your reputation will not be good?"

Gu Kun smiled: "You're talking about Michelle Hatcher's gang, right? First of all, Hatcher didn't declare it every time, he also made up the procedures after being discovered.

If you come clearly, the Indian clay people want 50% of the salvage income, and the Vietnamese want 50% of the in-kind share, which is not a small expense, and Hatcher is not stupid, who will take the initiative to pay this money unless it is absolutely necessary.

Hatcher, on the other hand, is a professional salvage merchant who has fished expensive ships that have shipped tens of millions of dollars at a time. If the income reaches his level, if he doesn't say that he is salvage, he can't find any other excuse to explain the legal source of the property. So although he admits that salvage this kind of business has a bad reputation and is more hated, he has no choice.

But I'm different, and I'm now on the job of surveying the seabed around the international shipping lanes. To put it bluntly, I am now a noble geoscientist. Someone asked me to buy 50 by 50 nautical miles of accurate topography data on the seabed for two or three million yuan.

This summer, I was able to measure the seabed topography of five to six unit areas, which is an income of 1200~15 million yuan. In the future, I will get other ships to continue to work, and in the medium and long term, I will raise 50 million yuan from this business, and others will be convinced.

So, I have a way to cover up the fishing boat with a more legitimate and glamorous source of income, so why should I still bear the reputation of being on the fishing boat?"

Gu Kun is afraid of more than just the reputation of fishing boats.

What he is even more afraid of is the doubt in the industry of "why Gu Kun can find so many shipwrecks in such a short time".

So, it's better to keep a low profile in the end.

All this, in fact, had already been calculated when he took over the scientific expedition task.

Using the profits of scientific research to cover the profits of fishing boats, and using the profits of fishing to cover up the profits of selling special equipment such as sonar, is actually a kind of logic for Gu Kun.

His style is too soothing, not too steady.

Gu Pan vaguely understood, so he no longer dwelled on this issue.

The little girl's heart is always more curious.

When she heard her brother mention the proportion of formal declarations in various countries, she immediately turned her interest to that:

"Brother, you said that both of them want a 50% share, so high?"

Gu Kun explained: "Indonesians are relatively lenient because the country has no history, and they don't care about cultural and cultural heritage protection, they just want money. Given the money, the rest basically doesn't care.

The Vietnamese, on the other hand, are relatively incorruptible if they want physical goods, and the maritime personnel who handle them have little room for operation.

Because if you only need money, you have to make sure that the salvage is valued and paid shortly after it comes out of the water. As for how much these things will sell in the future, it's hard to say.

If it's something like gold and silver coins that is hard to underestimate in itself, the situation is a little better. When it comes to porcelain, the appraiser says that it is worthless, and according to the low estimate, the Indonesian authorities will not receive much money......"

Gu Kun roughly explained what he knew to his sister from a source that can still be said today.

All of this is based on the memoirs written by the famous thief Michel Hatcher.

Michel Hatcher said that only 4 percent of the shipwreck harvest he fished out of Indonesian waters in his lifetime has been handed over to the Indonesian authorities, which means that the value of the cargo is undervalued by 12 times.

However, that doesn't mean that the remaining 96% of Hatcher will be able to carry it in his pocket. He also made it clear that the total cost of public relations can account for 15%.

That is to say, in addition to 4% to the authorities, there are 11% for various identification and review...... and so on, these people will cooperate with him all the way to the green light and underestimate things.

These are just rules, if they are found out in the end, they have no choice but to do so. For now, though, he'd prefer to get things straight and clean.

After all, he doesn't look like a guy stuffing red envelopes into Indonesians.

Or take it directly, and respect the other party more, because then at least you don't take the red envelope to humiliate the other party.
