He had also heard from the old members of the club that when traveling in these Central and South American countries, he would often encounter this kind of thing, and the only good way was to bribe the clerks and then minimize their own losses.

Sure enough, when Hong Tao told Chavez what he meant, he quickly reached an agreement with the three port staff that Hong Tao only needed to pay 300 US dollars, or 900 pesos, to them, and they could leave the dock safely, but they would not show Hong Tao any fee vouchers. Hong Tao wants to use the certificate? He has no place to reimburse him, so he doesn't want it. The $300 is where he himself understands, this kind of thing is not unfamiliar, the only difference is that Peruvians use this method to trap foreigners, while Hong Tao's own compatriots generally use this method to trap their own people.

Leaving the port of Lima, the Mad Mouse III raised its mainsail in the afterglow of the setting sun and slowly headed due south. Hong Tao's next destination is Puerto Montt in Chile, a voyage of about 3,500 kilometers and is expected to arrive in fifteen days. Originally, Hong Tao wanted to stay in the northern Chilean city of Iquique, but with the encounter just now, he decided to stay less in these unreliable national ports. Although the security situation in Chile is very good in South America, even better than Argentina, Hong Tao is too unfamiliar with this country to take this risk. He is not afraid of suffering a little loss and making some money, what he is afraid of is that the locals do not speak of the law, and if he really wants to detain his ship, those heavy weapons in the cabin will be exposed, and that will be a big trouble.

There are two main reasons why it should dock in Puerto Montt, a city in southern Chile. One is that further south from Puerto Montt is the famous westerly wind belt, since everyone says that the wind and waves are high there. Don't take other people's words seriously, this thing will kill you if you are not careful! He plans to maintain and inspect the ship in Montt Harbor. Once you're sure you're in the best condition, continue south.

The second is that he was going to meet with a reporter from ESPN in Puerto Montt, which was scheduled before departure. He's going to get Hilde and Tachibana off the ship here. They won't go with them to the West Wind Belt, people are here to play and earn money, there is no need to follow themselves to adventure, you have lived enough, others have not lived enough.

There was no trouble on this part of the voyage, but it got colder and colder, and when he entered Leilong Kawi Bay, Hong Tao put on his warm clothes and pants, and he had to cover himself with a waterproof jacket to be considered warm. The beginning of June is supposed to be summer in the northern hemisphere, but in Chile in the southern hemisphere. But it is just in winter, and the latitude of Puerto Montt is basically the same as that of the capital, which is about 40 degrees, so June here is almost December in the capital.

However, because Puerto Montt is in Leilong Kawi Bay, the temperature is slightly higher than that of the capital, and the minimum temperature at night is also around zero, and the maximum temperature during the day is almost ten degrees. But zero degrees on the seashore and zero degrees on the inland are not the same concept, and the little sea breeze blows up, like a small knife. It can blow into the cracks of people's bones, making you always cold from the inside to the outside, which is very uncomfortable.

"I'm going to miss you...... You'll get past that damn horn of Horn by the time you get back. Be sure to tell me, and I'll go to the club's dock to greet you like a hero!" When the sailboat docked on the dock, Hilde, who had already packed his belongings, gave Hong Tao a hug first. Then he kissed him back and forth, left and right, left and right.

"This is my family's talisman, it will keep you safe and sound......" It was Tachibana's turn to say goodbye to Hong Tao. She became a regular Japanese girl again, and there was no warm hug. There was no sensational confession, just a small silver flower from his neck and put it on Hong Tao's neck.

"Don't worry, I'm still waiting to be the father of your children, remember, as soon as there is movement in your stomach, call me, and I will arrange for a lawyer to take care of you." Hong Tao was impartial and gave each of them a leather purse, which they had bought at the bazaar in Lima, and there were a lot of all kinds of things, enough for the people on the boat to use for a lifetime. In the wallet was Mr. Hong's satellite phone and lawyer's phone, as well as a check for $10,000.

In the last half month or so that Hong Tao got along with them, both of them gave up contraception. Hong Tao didn't ask them why, they had a child, they just wanted it, it didn't matter if they didn't, they deserved the money, they brought happiness to themselves, and that was enough. As for the future, there will naturally be a lawyer to explain to them that it is their right to decide how they decide.

Hong Tao has already spoken to his team of lawyers, and they will set up a special foundation to deal with the problem of Hong Tao's illegitimate children and lovers. This is not what Hong Tao asked, but the strong advice of his team of lawyers. Because at Hong Tao's speed, now that he has just sown seeds in South America, the lawyers are not too far from the United States. Therefore, in order to wipe Hong Tao's ass more efficiently, these lawyers, who only recognize money and do not recognize people, have come up with such a method, that is, where Hong Tao has needs, the foundation will promptly contact the local or nearby senior lawyers, and then they will complete the foundation's entrustment, which is both trouble-free and efficient. The main thing is that after leaving the American continent, those Canadian and American lawyers can't play around, and the laws in other regions are still very different from those in North America, and the influence of Americans in other regions is not as great as in South America.

After sending off the president's wife and the emperor's granddaughter, Hong Tao began to get down to business. He told Carol and Lada to go to a good shipyard on the docks to see if they could get the Mad Mouse III overhauled and maintained, while he himself got in touch with a reporter from ESPN and went to their hotel to meet them.

"You're not on the boat, let me make this thing myself?" These two reporters have been here for three days, specifically to wait for Hong Tao. Originally, Hong Tao thought that they were going to sail with the ship, but who knew that they gave them two cameras and trained themselves how to use them, and they themselves had to escape.

"Sorry, we didn't find an insurance company in China that would insure us...... In that case, the company will not be able to follow you through Cape Horn, and you will have to take the rest of the voyage on your own. This box is full of videotapes, enough for you, good luck!" the two photographers shrugged helplessly, seeing that they meant that they wanted to get on the boat, but the company didn't allow it.

"Is Cape Horn so terrifying? Even the insurance company is scared? The merchant ships that pass from there every year are not insured?" Hong Tao understood the plight of the two of them, if there was no insurance company to insure them, then ESPN Sports TV Network really didn't dare to let them get on the ship. Otherwise, if they have an accident, the issue of compensation will be troublesome, and it is also suspected of violating U.S. labor laws.

"The boats and the crews are insured...... It's just that the insurance company is not very reassuring to you, and they can't make a correct assessment of a person who has just obtained the qualification of an A-class sailing captain...... "The two photographers told Hong Tao the reason why they couldn't get insurance from the insurance company, which was already very euphemistic.

"Hey, I'm going to lose my temper! Cheng, when I go back, I have to publish this paragraph in the newspaper when I go back, and it's better to get a TV interview! I let them look down on me, you see how I torture them!" Hong Tao is so angry, it is cost-effective, and no insurance company in the United States thinks that he can go back alive, so he almost holds a memorial service for himself!

This tone is absolutely unbearable, why do you TM white captains cross a small strait and you all say that it is a feat, and when you come to me, you all say that I am going to die, isn't this looking down on people? Hong Tao decided, as long as he can go back alive, he has to find Nina and them to continue to organize a parade, the target is these insurance companies, and the charges are all thought out for them, this is also Chiguoguo's racial discrimination!

How angry Hong Tao should be, the two photographers couldn't control him, they followed Hong Tao back to the dock, simply arranged the lights on the deck of the Crazy Mouse III, and began to record Hong Tao's comments before departure.

"Mr. Hong, in a few days, you will sail through Cape Horn, are you sure that you will accomplish this feat?"

"Call me Captain...... I'm the captain of the ship now, the captain of the Mad Rat III! I'm sure, otherwise how could I risk my life? I know people don't believe that much, and they don't even have an insurance company to insure me. I've heard that all the seafarers' pubs in Liverpool, England, have a rule that captains and sailors who sail through Cape Horn can drink for free in the bar. I think we can make a bet like this, if I cross Cape Horn, then when I return to Ventura, ask these insurance companies to provide me with a free bar too, I don't ask for a lot, right?" Hong Tao hadn't forgotten about those insurance companies, and started betting again in front of the camera, but this time he really didn't cheat, he bet with his own life with the other party.

When the two photojournalists saw that Hong Tao was very angry, his mouth was still so broken, and he dared to say anything, they didn't dare to continue chatting with him, for fear that if he said something that could not be broadcast, then they should be in trouble. According to the contract signed between Hong Tao and ESPN Sports Television Network, his video materials are broadcast exclusively and exclusively, but Hong Tao also has the right to decide where he can and cannot broadcast, and he is not allowed to delete his video records without authorization.
