Chapter 952: It's hard to return home
Those who play black are not afraid, and Hong Tao who plays white is even more afraid. There are detailed records on the ship's radio communication records and logbooks, and there was no reply after calling for help for an hour and a half. Even if they don't sue themselves, they can't spare them, those reporters in Canada just said a few words that Hong Tao didn't listen to, he was able to smash people with money, and now they have threatened their lives, this loss can't be in vain!
"Say whatever you like, don't bother with them! I'll make a phone call, this matter is not over!" Hong Tao began to toss again, he wants to hold a press conference in Hong Kong, adding fuel to the vinegar to talk about how the Indonesian government guarantees the safety of the waterway, and by the way, he has to criticize their internal affairs. And it's not enough to just say it yourself, you have to pull the only heir of the Hilton family and the adopted daughter of the star to complain together, anyway, it's just a touch of the mouth, who is uncomfortable and who knows! What can be the consequences? What can be the consequences, it's a big deal not to go to Bali in the future, that broken place, I vomited in my last life, and it's better not to go.
In order to avoid encountering this situation again, he deliberately stopped the boat in the middle of the way to fish for three hours, calculated the approximate time, and let the sailboat pass through the side of Tungkir Island during the day, and then sailed safely through Palawan Island two days later, and then entered the South China Sea smoothly.
When the sailboat sailed through the waters of Scarborough Shoal, Hong Tao was completely relieved, no matter what. The pirate didn't think there would be any, so he took out the sniper rifle and the last two rockets and used them as toys. Everyone ran out of bullets and fired rockets. The remaining empty guns and canisters were thrown into the sea to completely destroy the evidence. To be on the safe side. He even turned off the GPS device for two hours to prevent someone from relying on GPS to find it in the future.
"Hong Tao, why do we want to stop in Hong Kong, didn't you say that your home is in the capital, I think it's the most suitable place to stop here!" At this time, Nikki's question came again, she pointed to the location of Tianjin Port on the chart, and was a little disagreeable to Hong Tao's decision.
"Legally, we can't enter Chinese ports, the ship is registered in the United States, although China is a member of the International Sailing Federation. However, it is limited to the Olympic Games, and private sailing ships cannot dock at will, and your visa will not be available. Hong Tao is very embarrassed about this question, but he can't go into too much detail, after all, this is his motherland, and his family ugliness can't be publicized.
Buying a sailboat abroad, whether new or second-hand, requires you to register, and at the same time you will obtain a licence recognised by the International Association of Classification Societies. With this license. You can travel all over the world, and it will be your ship's ID card, which can be used all over the world. Well, this thing doesn't work well in China! China's Ministry of Transport regulations. Without the approval of the relevant state authorities, all foreign sailing ships and yachts must be declared to dock in accordance with the procedures for commercial vessels.
In other words, whether it's a sailboat or a yacht. It must be declared in accordance with the procedures of container ships, oil tankers or large cruise ships, which is a! If you say that you will not be allowed to dock, you will directly say that you will not be allowed to dock. Don't fool the common people with such words! How many captains of sailboats and yachts can hold a driver's license for an international merchant ship or a cargo ship? Who would go to school for years just to play sailing and yachting? If you go to a large ship for several more years, you will not be sick in your head!
Therefore, according to this regulation, 99.99% of sailing ships and yachts that are not registered in China cannot berth in any port in China. But then again, like Hong Tao, it is completely possible to register a ship in China, so that it can dock? Or not, if you register a ship in China's classification society, then congratulations, you can't go to any country's port except for China's port. This is a principle of mutual equality, if you don't let ships from other countries dock, other countries will naturally not let ships registered in your country dock.
This is still for new ships, if it is the original Crazy Mouse III, you are not allowed to register it in China, because the Ministry of Transport has stipulated that sailboats or yachts that are more than one year old are prohibited from being imported. In addition to various materials, procedures, and approvals, you don't want to get the "Ship Ownership Certificate", "Nationality Certificate" and Ship Inspection Seaworthiness Certificate in less than half a year, because they are not one department, and you have to run several departments. When you get all these certificates, the age of the ship will be more than a year, and then you will still not be registered!
Another problem is that yachts and sailing ships registered in China cannot be used in all of China. For example, if you have a certificate of registration registered on Qingdao Island, you can only wander around the waters under the jurisdiction of Qingdao Island, and if you want to drive a boat to Dalian, you will be punished. I don't know if it's this regulation fucking up, or the enforcer fucking up, or if it's not a thing?
You want to say that this is to protect the domestic shipbuilding industry...... It doesn't make sense. Not to mention the 90s, even in the 21 st century, China's yachts and sailboats account for less than a fraction of the world's share. Moreover, this regulation also says that whether you buy a domestic ship or an imported ship, you must pay a 59% luxury tax, which even domestic shipyards have been killed. Originally, domestic yacht and sailing companies did not have technical advantages, and now they have no price advantage, what kind of yachts do they produce, and they can build duck boats in the park.
Is it that in China you can't play sailboats and yachts? No, these are all regulations! The meaning of the word "regulations" in China is somewhat different. It is not as strong as steel, but more like a monkey band, and the stricter the nature of the regulations, the thicker this monkey band, and the more difficult it is to pull it apart. According to Hong Tao's knowledge of the sailing club for a few days in his previous life, at that time in the 21st century, sailing people had two ways to deal with these regulations.
The first is to park the sailboat in Hong Kong, regardless of whether Hong Kong returns to the motherland or not, it is a free port, and the registration procedures of the classification society are also in line with international standards, so docking is not a problem. The cost of renting a berth plus the cost of a round-trip plane adds up to a year, and it is even cheaper than joining those yacht clubs in China, and those clubs actually have no legal procedures, but the relationship between people is hard, you pay them more than 100,000 a year, and you can dock, but it is generally limited to activities in local waters, and it is useless after crossing provinces and cities.
The second is to pull the relationship, whether it is with money or other methods, dredge the relationship at a small pier close to home, and then directly sail the sailboat in, dock at the small pier, and cover it with tarpaulin. The local maritime department generally won't find it, and after discovering it, it shouldn't be found, after all, it's better to do it in advance. According to international law, foreign civilian vessels can only travel 15 nautical miles, and entering 15 nautical miles violates the law, but generally no one cares.
"Then you can't throw us in Hong Kong!" Paris quit, since the night of the fight against the pirates, she, the worst guy in the table, trembled, and always called Hong Tao dear when there was nothing to do, so that Nikki also asked Hong Tao privately if she had eaten her sister. Now when she hears that she can't go to China, she wants to go crazy again.
"I'll leave you alone in Hong Kong, and then take Nikki and Nicole home!" Hong Tao rolled his eyes, he didn't expect this Paris anymore, Miss Jiaojiao's problems were practiced, but she had other problems, which could not be trained by just enduring hardship.
"You won't treat me like this......" Paris was not afraid at all, and she didn't know where she got her confidence, but she actually believed that with such a little relationship between her and Hong Tao, Hong Tao could make Hong Tao look at her differently.
Hong Tao really didn't plan to leave her, this has nothing to do with the accident that happened a few days ago, long before entering the Indian Ocean, Hong Tao had already asked Astronomical Digital Company and Crystal Orchid Capital to help them do a good job of entering China, with only four words in the name: investment inspection!
If it is just an astronomical company, it may be a little more troublesome, after all, its size is not so large, and the domestic Patriot computer company and the Aigo company registered in the United States are not the same thing at all, and the face is not enough. But as soon as you put on the name of Crystal Orchid Capital, it will be easy to handle, and you don't need to look for any department, apply directly to the Ministry of Commerce, and they will help you complete the procedures as quickly as possible. If the people of the Ministry of Commerce don't know the name of Crystal Orchid Capital a few months after Netscape Communications went public, then they should really be laid off!
Since it is a business investigation, it must not be able to drive a galleon into China, and the Ministry of Commerce has to take care of the face after all, but it is also a national unit, so Hong Tao can only park the sailboat in Hong Kong first, but fortunately he doesn't care about the plane ticket money. However, he still has a small trouble, that is, Singh's procedures have to be made up, and he didn't know that he would meet a woman in India that he was willing to take away, so maybe he had to stay in Hong Kong for a few days, waiting for Yulia and Han Xue to complete the formalities before returning to the capital together.
