Chapter 1087: The second generation is not good
Just go, the next day, Hong Tao turned into a humanoid daddy machine again, with a child hanging on his chest and back, and one in his hand, and stepped on the flight to Hong Kong.
This time, he plans to stay until after the Spring Festival, when the coal-to-electricity conversion project in the ideal community is completed, and when he will come back.
Yang Wei found a place to live with Hong Tao's mind, and basically no one would find out, because there was neither a house number nor a fixed address.
It was a galleon, newly acquired, fifty-six feet long, with a full set of electronic navigation equipment and an autopilot system, and it was more of a large yacht with a mast than a sailboat.
If you want to start it, only two people are enough, and if you are skilled, one person can do it, but it is more tiring to sail far.
Does Yang Wei also like sailing? Really not, she just listened to Hong Tao boast about how exciting sailing was, and her heart was a little itchy, and after taking advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis to make a big profit, she simply ordered a sailboat by herself, wanting to try the taste of sailing.
Judging from the structure of this ship, it is not particularly suitable for long-distance sailing, and is more inclined to enjoy and set up music. In fact, after the ship was bought, it actually went to the open sea, sailed from Hong Kong to Manila, and then docked at the Central Pier.
Hong Tao doesn't need to inquire about this, just look at the logbook to make it all clear. And Yang Wei has not participated in this voyage, and it is David Yang who replaces her on the ship.
The purpose is to survey the ship, or the French shipyard to deliver the haute clay ship to the customer's necessary procedures, not to sail once to test the performance of the ship, people can not fulfill the delivery contract.
What satisfies Hong Tao the most is not how high-end and comfortable the ship is, but its registered place, Liberia. What is there to be satisfied with? Is there any benefit to registering a ship in this small African country?
How to say it, it is useless for ordinary people, and many procedures are quite cumbersome. However, for commercial transport and a small number of people, this country of registration is more convenient, as it is one of the few flag-of-convenience countries in the world.
Flag of convenience, as the name suggests, can bring a certain degree of convenience to users, such as cheap taxes, extremely simple ship survey procedures, relatively good confidentiality, evasion of state requisition, evasion of part of legal responsibility, use of black workers and so on.
It is similar in nature to offshore companies, and it is also a way for some small countries to generate income. Countries such as Liberia, Panama, Sierra Leone, Cyprus, Singapore, Panama and Bermuda can apply for this flag of convenience, commonly known as flag of convenience.
But there is nothing good or bad in the world, and the same is true for the flag of convenience. It is a relatively hidden and convenient registration procedure, which does not require too much review information and can also avoid heavy taxes.
However, if something happens at sea, it will not be protected by the country of registration. A small country like Liberia simply does not have the ability to defend its rights overseas, and people open up the registration of ships in themselves to make a small amount of money to spend, and they have no intention of protecting anyone.
If you pay attention, you will find that more than 90 percent of the pirate ship hijacking incidents broadcast on the news are flying flags of convenience.
Pirates are not stupid, they will not rob ships flying the flag of a great power, that is tantamount to shouting at a great power, it is too dangerous.
However, there is no such trouble in robbing ships flying flags of convenience, as long as they do not hurt the crews of various countries on board, it will be in vain to rob them. Because the flag is a small country, there is no reason for others to meddle in it, and no one is willing to take care of it.
Why did Yang Wei get such a flag? This is not because of the influence of Hong Tao, in Hong Tao's story mentioned the flag of convenience, many sailboats that run around all year round do have a flag of convenience.
But that was purely for the convenience of entering and exiting the ports of various countries, so as not to be harassed in Iranian ports under the American flag. In order to show that she is also professional, she got such a flag.
As for whether there was any danger, she didn't think about it at all, because she didn't plan to sail a small boat to venture out into the vast ocean, which was not in line with the style of a large family heir.
Aren't the ancients cloudy, gentlemen don't stand under dangerous walls. Burdened with the responsibilities of the family, many things can only be played, not really done.
But this provides Hong Tao with a great convenience to run away, with a convenient ship registration, he can sail away anytime and anywhere, and no one needs to report where he wants to go, just make up a route and make up a port of call.
Even if something goes wrong, the powers to investigate and punish are in the country of registration. In that kind of small broken country, there is really money that can make the devil grind, and there is nothing that cannot be solved with money. If there is, it must be that you have not invested enough money, and even a military coup is not out of the question.
Of course, Hong Tao didn't really plan to run away in a small sailboat, which was a forced choice, but it didn't hurt to have one more option. Anyway, stuff Hong Xiaorui into Ms. Bai's arms, and then chat with the old couple, and the rest of the time will be on their own.
Why don't you go ahead and train the sailors? As the son of the emperor of the Sea Empire, Hong Changqing must be a qualified sailor, and Hong Anna is still young and can slow down first.
"Lao Hong, can you not go to sea? I am willing to learn Latin for four hours a day!" but Hong Tao was disappointed by Hong Changqing's performance, he was actually a landlubber, with a natural fear of the sea, and a very serious seasickness. As soon as the surge is more than one meter high, it has already spit out all the bitter gall water, and as soon as the sea is raised, there are countless reasons to escape.
"You just study 20 hours a day and you can graduate from college right now, and you have to vomit. When I am a son, I can not be a sailor, and I can hate the sea, but I must not know how to sail. ”
"It's not just you, it's all my children, including my younger siblings. Now that they are still young, I will train you first, and when they are also your age, you will train them. It's a bit like a brother, what are you afraid of when you spit out a few mouthfuls, and you slowly get used to it when you vomit twice a day. But no matter how Hong Changqing pleaded and what conditions he exchanged, Hong Tao would never let go on this issue.
As long as there is no disease or disaster, you can go to the sea, and the sea can exercise people's courage and heart. If you are familiar with the feeling that you will die at any time, you will not panic in the future, no matter how dangerous things are. I am not training sailors, but using this way to exercise children's adaptability to the future.
Everyone else can be so-so, but Hong Changqing can't. He is the future of the Hong family, and he can't entrust the Hong family to a person who is as timid as a mouse, narrow-minded, and can't withstand the wind and waves. If there is a big flaw in the character, no matter how smart you are, no matter how you can predict the future, it is useless.
"Sometimes I really don't want to be your son, yes, sometimes, not all!" Hong Changqing's current intelligence, language skills, and style of acting are already very similar to a young man.
Usually in kindergarten and at home, you can suppress it, trying to pretend to be a child, but as long as there are no outsiders around, it will be revealed immediately.
And his personality is becoming more and more like a teenager in a rebellious period, he has begun to rebel, no longer obeying his father as before, and has his own ideas and preferences.
"When you don't want to be my son, I really don't care about you, I hope that day doesn't come too early. For Hong Changqing's changes, Hong Tao sees it in his eyes every day, and he is also anxious in his heart.
This son is like taking some kind of drug, or genetic mutation, and he is growing up far faster than his peers. One year of his is almost as good as three years for other children, not only in terms of brain development, but also in physical development.
Before he was three years old, he was more than one meter tall and weighed almost fifty pounds, and he looked like a five- or six-year-old child. It's hard to imagine what he'd be like by the time he was ten years old if he continued at this pace.
Now I can still suppress him in every way, but what about five or ten years from now? It's really hard to control this freak again. If he doesn't quite agree with his own concept by then, the successor of this family may be about to fly.
This is also the reason why he is in a hurry to play with his various thoughts and instill them in his head, and every time he sees his pants short, he has a sense of crisis.
