Lin Yuan sneered: "Okay, I'll wait for him to come."

The first mate snorted coldly, turned his head away from Lin Yuan, and Lin Yuan smiled: "Do you believe it or not?" The first thing your boss does when he comes is to pay me. ”

The first mate said angrily: "Don't dream, when my boss comes, you can wait to apologize to him." ”

Lin Yuan said to the guards on the side: "That's it, I have to go somewhere else to collect money in a while, you take him and let him follow me, I guess his boss will definitely come to me when he gets the news, and when he finds me, I will let him see if his boss will pay me money!" ”

Lin Yuan then asked people to take the first mate to several other ships of Swire & Co., these ships all knew that the first mate was not easy to mess with, and when they saw that he had been subdued by Lin Yuan, they knew that it was useless for them to resist even if they resisted, so they had to obediently get off the ship, Lin Yuan seized the goods on more than a dozen ships, and several small boat owners paid the port fee when they saw that the momentum was wrong.

The remaining shipowners who have not paid the port fee are all looking at Swire & Co., because Swire & Co. is the most powerful, and it is the only one that can fight against Lin Yuan, Lin Yuan did not wait too long, and at noon, Chris, the person in charge of Swire & Co., came to Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan was drinking tea in the office at this time, and there was an angry first mate sitting next to him, and when the first mate saw Chris coming in, he immediately stood up and stepped forward to greet him, and just about to tell his tragic experience, Chris waved his hand, signaling him not to say any more, and then walked in front of Lin Yuan and put a big box in front of Lin Yuan.

Chris opened the box and said, "This is the port entry fee, a total of 200,000 pounds, you can let it go, right?" ”

Lin Yuan waved his hand, and an entourage on the side stepped forward and began to check the money inside, and after a while, the entourage nodded to Lin Yuan slightly, Lin Yuan pointed to the door with his hand, and said, "You can go." ”

Chris said angrily: "Assign a grade standard to the ship to collect the port entry fee, I trade in so many countries, I have never heard of such an unreasonable thing, you Chinese can really set up a name!" ”

Lin Yuan said unhurriedly: "We have no way to do this, we repair the waterway according to everyone's boat type, how wide everyone's boat is, we will repair the waterway as wide, your boat is wider than others, we are because your boat wants to expand the waterway wider, you say, shouldn't you pay the difference?" ”

Chris didn't speak, glared at Lin Yuan fiercely, turned around and walked out, the first mate on the side was stunned by this scene, he thought that Chris would have some powerful counterattack measures after paying the money, but he didn't expect him to leave so gloomy, he asked Lin Yuan in surprise: "How do you know that our boss will definitely come to pay the money?" ”

Lin Yuan said proudly: "Isn't this simple? You think, your goods must be delivered to the destination on time Your shipowner can make a profit, so he is in a hurry to transport the goods back, but I am different, I am not in a hurry, his goods can be kept here for as long as I like, I will not lose a penny, so he can't consume me at all. ”

"Even if he has a very hard relationship with the British ambassador, and can find the British ambassador to put pressure on me, but I am not so easy to give into, and the British ambassador is now in Beijing every day, whether he can come to Yingkou or not is between the two talks, and it will take a lot of time to come to Yingkou, you say, can he wait?"

The first mate nodded helplessly, got up and went out, and soon the news of "the person in charge of Swire & Co. paid the entrance fee" spread in the port, and the shipowners saw that Swire & Co. had succumbed to Lin Yuan, and there was no choice but to pay the entrance fee, so there was a scene of the toll office.

Lin Yuan then issued another order, all those who paid must pay a late fee of 10% as a punishment, so that all the foreign shipowners dared not speak out, and the matter of the port entrance fee was dealt with, Lin Yuan took two coast guard ships, waited outside the port, and executed the right to divert water.

The right to divert water is guaranteed by hard power, Lin Yuan led people to cruise in the port, and soon a merchant ship entered Lin Yuan's field of vision, with the name written on the hull: Wind Speed, both in length and width, is one size larger than Lin Yuan's coast guard ship, and the ship is flying the British flag, since Lin Yuan arrested the American labor trafficking ship in Yingkou Port, no ship dares to enter the port without the national flag.

Lin Yuan said to the helmsman in the cockpit, "Catch up and get close to that ship." ”

With the help of diesel engines and waterjet propulsion systems, the coast guard ship quickly approached the big ship, and then the megaphone was turned on on the ship, and a loud voice was heard throughout the sea: "We are the China Ship Standardization Center, the Wind Speed Number, immediately slow down the ship, let us go on board to check." ”

The American captain on board, named Antoine, heard the voice of the Coast Guard and thought, "China Ship Standardization Center? What kind of organization is it? Could it be that the rumors are true? They had docked at the port of Tianjin for a while, and it was rumored that the port of Yingkou had now become a "hell" in the port of Tianjin, where a Chinese official named Lin Yuan set up a Chinese ship standardization center and charged various fees under the name of it.

Antoine didn't want to spend more money, so he ordered the crew to ignore the request of the coast guard ship and keep the course, Lin Yuan then asked people to say: "Wind speed, stop the ship immediately, we have to get on the ship to exercise the right to divert water!" ”

Antoine almost laughed out loud when he heard the word "water diversion right", and he thought to himself disdainfully: "Just because the Chinese still understand what the water diversion right is?" So the order: speed up and get rid of this ridiculous group of Chinese.

Lin Yuan saw that the Wind Speed did not slow down, but increased its speed, so he ordered: Prepare an automatic grenade launcher, give them a few clicks first, Yu Ming received the order, immediately took out the grenade launcher, aimed at the side of the Wind Speed and fired a few bullets, Antoine became serious, the ship was loaded with sugar, once it was shot, the consequences were unimaginable.

The Wind Speed slowed down, and Lin Yuan quickly boarded the ship, and as soon as he came up, he asked, "Which of you is the captain?" ”

Antoine stood up and replied, "I am, is there anything you can do?" ”

Lin Yuan asked, "Is your shipowner here?" ”

Antoine replied, "I am the shipowner." ”

Lin Yuan ordered: "Very good, now you immediately hand over the structural data of the hull to me, and then prepare a hundred thousand pounds for the channel toll." ”

Antoine frowned, and thought: "100,000 pounds, the total cargo on my ship is only 300,000 pounds, and you charge this fee, how much do I have to sell for my goods to recover the cost." He then said, "What? 100,000 pounds? Why are you taking this money? ”

Lin Yuan smiled and said, "If you want to trade on the land of the Chinese, shouldn't we collect money?" ”

Antoine said angrily: "Our British Empire government and your Qing government have signed a treaty, the treaty stipulates the amount of taxes, and the total value of the goods on our ship is 379,000 pounds, and the maximum amount is a few thousand pounds according to the tax rate!" ”

Lin Yuan said with a smile: "Our waterway tolls and cargo taxes are completely different, so you can't confuse the two. ”
