Chapter 158 I am the master of my territory

   "It depends on whether their rowing speed is fast enough. We are also afraid of the liquefied natural gas explosion there." Qin Tao looked at the places where the white smoke rose, and said to Lei Lao.

  Mr. Lei and the older generation are very conscious. Back then, even if they tightened their belts, they had to support their brothers in the third world. Now, seeing someone in danger at sea, of course we have to lend a helping hand.

  However, Qin Tao is not so kind. If these people don't lend a helping hand to their own people in distress, why should their own side be selfless?

  Let them exercise at sea first.

   That's right, exercise.

  Those lifeboats had no power. Anthony directed his crew to row quickly. At the same time, when he looked at the liquefied gas ship, his eyes were erratic and nervous.

   "Quick, quick, quick!" He kept shouting, hoping that his own lifeboat could leave as soon as possible, the farther the better.

  The people under his command were also rowing desperately, and their arms were already sore and weak without knowing it.

If it is other cargo ships, the lifeboats may have engines, but their liquefied gas ships cannot. Once they want to get on the lifeboats, it means that their ships have already started to leak. When the gasoline engines of the lifeboats are working, they may be dangerous. If there is a spark, as long as there is a small spark, they will definitely die without a place to bury them.

  So, it can only be rowing, rowing!

   "Help, help!" Anthony called to the floating dock closest to them.

  It's too far away from the coastline, they don't have the confidence to row to the coast, if they encounter wind and waves, they may die here.

   We can only ask for help from the floating dock!

  However, the floating dock could not hear his call at all, and the huge sea steel monster was also driving at full speed, away from the liquefied gas ship.

   "Damn it, you people don't follow international rules!" Anthony cursed.

   "Captain, hold the radio station." A subordinate handed a large rectangular object to Anthony's hand.

  Anthony quickly turned on the radio, pulled out the antenna, tuned to the international public channel, and then continued to shout: "SOS, SOS, here are the shipwrecked crew members of the Golden Horn of Serbia. We ask the nearby Shenzhou floating dock to rescue them!"

"Crew of the Golden Horn, do you know the name of our floating dock? That is to say, you received the distress signal from our cargo ship Xiangyang just now, but you didn't help?" Qin Tao held the radio, with a playful tone in his tone .

   "We are a liquefied gas ship, and we are a first-class dangerous goods carrier. After the accident, we must stay away from the Xiangyang cargo ship to avoid danger to our ship. We did nothing wrong." Anthony shouted in the radio.

With a sneer on Qin Tao's face, he pressed the radio button and continued to shout: "Now, there has been an accident on the Golden Horn. It will explode at any time. For our own safety, we need to evacuate at full speed. I'm sorry, we have to avoid There is nothing wrong with what we are doing now that our own ships are in danger."

   "Oh, no, I beg you!" Anthony's tone was pleading. Now, of course, he didn't dare to curse on the radio, he could only beg, begging the other party to take them away.

   "Once your liquefied gas leaks, the explosion radius will be at least ten nautical miles?" Qin Tao shouted on the radio: "We need to withdraw to ten nautical miles away, and then we will wait there. Come on!"

   Ten nautical miles!

If it is a well-trained sampan athlete, paddling ten nautical miles is nothing, but these people are not of that level. They are all ordinary crew members. They usually have nothing to do on the boat and rarely exercise. At that time, they had just paddled less than one nautical mile, and their arms were sore, and their strength was exhausted. They couldn't do it at all after paddling ten nautical miles.

   "No, I beg you, save us, save us!" Anthony shouted on the radio.

   "However, if we save you, we will have to take great risks." Qin Tao continued to shout on the radio: "By the way, who was responsible for the accident just now?"

In the cockpit, Lei Lao and others did not speak, listening to Qin Tao communicate with each other. On the one hand, it was because Qin Tao was very adaptable and would definitely win them benefits; on the other hand, it was because Qin Tao was Communicate quickly with each other in international English, many of whom cannot understand.

  Of course, they can see that Qin Tao has pressed the record button of the Walkman, recording the conversation between the two parties, obviously for a purpose.

   "Of course it's your responsibility. When sailing at sea, you didn't follow the principle of small boats avoiding big boats." Anthony shouted.

   "Really? Then we are waiting for you ten nautical miles away, goodbye!"

   "No, no, you can't do this, please!"

  Anthony's tone has turned into pleading.

   "Who was responsible for the accident just now?" Qin Tao continued to ask.

   "It's your responsibility. It's an international practice. When avoiding, you always turn the rudder to the right. We turn the rudder to the right to avoid it. You actually turn the rudder to the left. Your captain's brain..."

   "What did you say? I can't hear you clearly, please say it again." Qin Tao continued to shout.

  Anthony's eyes were gloomy. He looked at the floating dock that was getting farther and farther away, and he knew in his heart what the other party's purpose was.

  Despicable, shameless, nasty! However, Anthony at this time had no other choice. Those tugboats ran faster, but this floating dock was slow. If they couldn't carry it on, then they...

  Anthony didn't want to die, and neither did his sailors. If they didn't want to die, they had to bow their heads.

   "It is our responsibility, please, save us up."

   "Please say it again."

   "I, Anthony, the captain of the liquefied gas ship Golden Horn, admit that the collision just now was our responsibility." Anthony knew that he had no other choice but to admit it: "Please save us, the great Chinese crew."

"Captain Anthony, don't worry, China has been an ancient civilization since ancient times. We are hospitable and hospitable. We will never ignore someone in a dangerous situation." Qin Tao said angrily: "We slow down, you just put The lifeboat is rowed into our dock and secured."

"Thanks."

  The floating dock slowed down, the sailors on the lifeboat rowed desperately, and finally entered the interior of the floating dock.

   "Are we going to bring them up?" Director Wang asked.

   "Of course not, we are not passenger ships, there is room for them there." Qin Tao said.

At this time, Mr. Lei also heard the people around him recount the conversation between Qin Tao and Anthony just now, and he nodded with emotion: "Mr. I regret it."

  The accident has been caused, and there will be a long period of wrangling in the follow-up. Even with Anthony's personal promise, things will change.

  Qin Tao smiled: "Yes, this is just the beginning. Next, we still need to arrange some things. Tonight, we will arrange the arrangements properly. Everyone is a big leader, so it is easy to arrange..."

  When Qin Tao finished speaking, everyone's expressions were extremely complicated.

   "Mr. Qin, when we do things, we pay attention to openness..."

"Wrong." Qin Tao said: "We are the masters of our territory. If we are bullied by others at our door and dare not say anything, what is the difference between us and the Qing government more than a hundred years ago? Foreigners look down on us. We are not because of our century-old cowardice. We have to stand tall and tell foreigners that we welcome you when you come to us as guests, and we will beat you out if you come to bully people!"

After finishing speaking, Qin Tao smiled: "Of course, we are a country of etiquette, and the best way is to let the other party obediently admit defeat, while being saped by us, while shouting, well played, well played! "

  Huating Shipyard.

   When the huge floating dock came back, it was already noon. Many people in the shipyard raised their heads on the berth and looked at the huge floating dock.

   "What kind of big guy is this? It can move by itself."

   "Yeah, I haven't seen it before. Judging by the size, it is estimated to be 100,000 tons?"

   "I heard that Chongming Island is refitting the floating dock. Could it be that ship?"

   "Hey, did you see it? There seems to be a cargo ship inside!"

  Countless people are feeling emotional, and some people have already reacted: "It is going in the direction of our No. 4 dock, put water on No. 4 dock, and welcome that ship!"

  On the Shenzhou floating dock, Director Wang expressed his gratitude to Qin Tao: "Mr. Qin, thank you for entrusting us with the task of repairing the cargo ship Xiangyang."

  This kind of self-propelled floating dock has another advantage, that is, it can be docked with a fixed dock, and then transfer the ships you transported to the fixed dock, which is very flexible.

   "We don't like this kind of small job of sesame and mung beans." Qin Tao said: "Just ask their shipowner to give us a rescue fee. One million, shouldn't be much?"

   Without the rescue of the Shenzhou Floating Dock, the cargo ship would have sunk, and the owner's loss would definitely be an astronomical sum. Qin Tao's one million is definitely not too much. Proportionally speaking, this is much more affordable than the rescue fee of the expressway in later generations.

  Director Wang nodded: "Well, one million is not much, they will definitely pay."

   "Next, our floating dock will be moored on the pier here, waiting for the next big job." Qin Tao said.

   "Well, of course, it's my wish. Let the workers in our shipyard also see the elegance of this floating dock." Director Wang continued.

  Qin Tao nodded. Just as he was about to say something, there was already a lot of noise from the lifeboat in the dock.

   "Despicable, insidious, and cunning!" Anthony shouted loudly: "You use rescue to blackmail us and make us have to admit that it is our own responsibility. This is invalid. We will go to the international court to sue!"

  Just now at sea, they asked for rescue. They had no choice but to admit it. Now, as soon as they arrived at the port, they began to deny their account.

   Turning faces is faster than turning books.

  However, Qin Tao has already guessed the performance of these people, so he will not be angry now. Have these guys forgotten that the liquefied gas ship Golden Horn is still floating on the sea?

   They themselves may be safe and free from scruples, but what about the shipowners behind them?

  The news of the collision between the Xiangyang cargo ship and the Golden Horn liquefied gas ship quickly spread, causing an uproar all over the world.

  The owner of the liquefied gas ship Golden Horn, Botim Shipping Company of Serbia, set up a special delegation on the same day, flew to Huating, and aggressively demanded compensation.

  Countless reporters came after hearing the news.

   The next day, Loris, a reporter from Agence France-Presse, rented a dolphin helicopter and hovered over the sea area where the incident occurred. It took a full two hours to find the Golden Horn floating on the sea without power.

   "We can't get close, it may ignite the leaking gas." The pilot of the helicopter was very cautious.

   "Yes, we can't get close, I can take pictures with a telephoto lens." Loris said, holding a huge cannon-like camera in his hand, taking pictures one after another.

"Only the first big tank is leaking. It seems that a weld may be open. This ship was built by an island country. It seems that the island country's technology is not good." Loris said to himself while filming .

   "Okay, now we can go back." Loris said: "We have already interviewed first-hand information, but I still want to interview the floating dock and the lucky cargo ship Xiangyang."

  In the afternoon, Huating Shipyard Guest House.

"Mr. Qin, you are the person in charge of the Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group and the founder of the Shenzhou Shipyard. What do you think of this incident?" Loris was very excited to see Qin Tao. He had already investigated it. It was discovered that Qin Tao had a mysterious halo on his body.

   "I don't want to say anything more about this incident. We believe that the truth of the matter will come to light. We, Mingzhou Shipbuilding Industry Group, are not the parties involved. We believe that history will make a fair verdict." Qin Tao said.

   Qin Tao, who single-handedly promoted the direction of the whole incident, now played the role of the little white rabbit in front of the reporter.

  Lorris was a little embarrassed. He still wanted to dig out more news clues. Who would have thought that the person on the other side would not cooperate and would not tell him anything.

   "So, can you talk about the Shenzhou floating dock?"

"Of course this is possible." Qin Tao became interested: "It is our first dock in China. Inside it, ships of up to 100,000 tons can be built. Of course, it is a waste to use it to build ships. It can Free navigation, on-site repairs at sea, this rescue of the Xiangyang cargo ship is just the beginning, and it will prove our strength with repeated rescues in the future."

  Hearing this statement, Loris suddenly thought of something: "So, can you rescue the Golden Horn?"

   "Of course no problem, there is nothing we can't do." Qin Tao said with a smile.
