Chapter 282: Teach a man to fish

Fang Mingyuan remembered that he had seen in his previous life that due to inbreeding among the South China tigers bred in China, 56 out of 10 newborn tiger cubs were unable to grow up healthily, and some even had deformities. Moreover, even the cubs that grew into adult tigers

, the body size is significantly smaller than that of previously captured wild South China tigers, and their physical fitness has declined, making them more likely to get sick.

Wang Yugang glanced at Fang Mingyuan in surprise. He did not expect that this young man actually knew about the degeneration of tiger species. "We have also considered this, so from the beginning, we numbered the eight Siberian tigers and recorded them in detail.

The parents of each newly born Siberian tiger are removed to avoid the decline in genetic diversity caused by inbreeding. Since the time so far is still short, the Siberian tigers raised in the center can also ensure that the occurrence of inbreeding is avoided. From a long-term perspective

Thinking about it, if we can capture new wild Siberian tigers, of course it would be best. If not, we would like to cooperate with the Soviet Union to introduce wild Siberian tigers from there to improve the tiger species. But now it seems

, I’m afraid we don’t have the funds to implement this plan.”

Fang Mingyuan nodded. It seemed that Director Wang Yugang had considered all aspects of the center's future development quite thoughtfully, except for the lack of funds.

He is right. In theory, as long as the Heihe Daozi Cat Breeding and Breeding Center persists through the most difficult days in recent years, it can initially achieve the goal of raising tigers with tigers. You must know that in China, traditional Chinese medicine has always treated tigers

It is a tradition that many parts of the body are used for medicinal purposes, among which tiger bones are the most important. Products such as tiger bone pills, tiger bone paste, tiger bone glue, and tiger bone wine were once popular all over the world. At most, there were two to three hundred companies in the country producing them.

Products related to tiger bones use an average of thousands of kilograms of tiger bones every year, with an annual output value exceeding 100 million yuan.

But... I'm afraid he doesn't know that in a few years, before the center can produce benefits, this seemingly perfect industrial chain will collapse overnight. What awaits them in the future is a war of more than ten years.

Years ago, Fang Mingyuan suffered from endless pain until his death. At that time, the country, under pressure from the international community, completely banned the trade of tiger products and deleted tiger bones from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Fang Mingyuan remembered that this should be

It happened in the mid-1990s. As a result, the tiger breeding industry became a pure investment industry with no visible return.

Wang Yugang and Li Guangcheng exchanged glances. After this period of conversation, both of them realized that the young man in front of them was extraordinary. It was not how luxurious his clothes were, nor his impressive knowledge, but the kind of feeling that seemed extraordinary.

The aura of a superior who has everything under control made the two of them feel as if they were talking to officials from the province. Moreover, the two of them could also see that the four tables on the second floor, with nearly ten people, all seemed to be full of people.

Together. And the others all looked like this young man’s subordinates. How expensive the dishes in this Western restaurant were, the two of them, who were gritting their back molars to treat them, knew that this one was actually one of his subordinates.

How much will it cost to bring them in for dinner too!

"According to ecologists, in an ecosystem, the higher the biodiversity and the richer species, the more stable the system; on the contrary, the system becomes more fragile and more prone to catastrophic changes. Therefore, not only

Siberian tiger, any species in this ecosystem has its own role in regulating and regulating ecological balance and species balance. As a creature at the top of the food chain, the importance of tigers is self-evident. Moreover, all animals have certain characteristics.

Genes that are very good at this aspect may be used by humans in the future. If this species becomes extinct, these genes will naturally no longer be found. This is an immeasurable loss. Moreover, as the largest and most powerful tiger species in existence,

The Siberian tiger is also of great value in Chinese culture. There are often descriptions of tigers in ancient Chinese literature, ancient paintings, and poems. I can't imagine that in the future, if a child asks Wu Song to fight a tiger, what kind of animal is the tiger?

At that time, I could only point to the catwalk, and what it felt like to see a ferocious carnivore hundreds of times bigger than it." Wang Yugang continued. Everyone fell silent.

It can only be said that this is a kind of sadness, just like now people can only use paintings and fossils to imagine the elephant bird, which was once the largest bird in the world. The elephant bird is also called the dragon bird and mainly lives on the fourth largest island in the world.

——In the forest of Madagascar, Africa. "Longniao" means "high raised bird". It is much taller than the ostrich, the largest bird in the world today. More than 300 years ago, it was

It can be called the largest bird in the world. Its eggs are much larger than ostrich eggs. The number of rhinoceros birds has always been small. By the 17th century, the number of residents of Madagascar had increased to more than ten times that before, and they accelerated development.

Naturally, the progress of plundering natural resources. Large tracts of forests were cut down and turned into farmland, leaving the dragon birds homeless. Many dragon birds died as a result. In 1649, it was recorded that local residents were able to hunt the dragon birds.

In the last year, since then, humans have never found any traces of the giant bird, and its title of the world's largest bird has also been lost to the ostrich due to human intervention.

"Director Wang, how much is a dead tiger worth on the market now?" Although he had heard about the prices of some tiger products in his previous life, Fang Mingyuan still wanted to confirm it from Wang Yugang.

"To be precise, this thing has a price but no market. At least there is no open market." Wang Yugang hesitated and said, "Judging from the overseas price, the size of a piece of tiger skin ranges from hundreds of thousands to twenty thousand.

It’s possible to pay 100,000 yuan. Tiger bones cost 8,000 to 9,000 yuan per kilogram, tiger claws cost 7,000 to 8,000 yuan per kilogram, and someone once offered me three thousand yuan per kilogram for fresh tiger meat.”

Fang Mingyuan calculated in his mind that an adult Siberian tiger must weigh more than 200 kilograms. Even if it is useless, its value will be close to one million yuan. Do those poachers dare to take risks?

"Doesn't it mean that just these tigers in your center are worth nearly 100 million yuan?" Lin Lian was also surprised and said.

Li Guangcheng sighed and said: "It's worth nearly 100 million yuan, but I can't spend it. Tigers are national first-level protected animals. Even if they are bred by us, they cannot be slaughtered casually, let alone sold to outsiders. Just having money on the books cannot be cashed out.

It’s useless to come out! Now seeing that the tigers are about to starve, the employees of the center are also hoping to get some money to prepare for New Year’s Day, but on this account, alas..."

The five people fell silent. Fang Mingyuan could understand the depression in their hearts. This had made achievements, but it had become a burden. The staff of the breeding center were also human beings, with families, parents, wives and children, and they had to fight for their lives.

After running around, not only can they not get rewards from the government, but they can't even get their due wages. How can this be balanced in their hearts? And as leaders of the center, their life must be difficult.

It's just that this kind of animal protection work is not a business that competes for money. It should be invested by the state. However, Fang Mingyuan also understands that domestic officials will definitely not pay attention to this kind of expenditure without political achievements.

If they want them to allocate more money from their hands, they might as well hope that Grandet will make a kind donation. Unless the Heihe Daozi Cat Breeding and Breeding Center gets the continued attention of the central government or a big boss in the province, otherwise this issue will

, in recent years, there is no need to expect the province to meet the center’s financial needs.

Fang Mingyuan recalled the information about Siberian tiger breeding in his previous life, and tapped his fingers on the table subconsciously. Help is needed. In his previous life, he was just a semi-otaku with no power, money, and power. As for wild Siberian tigers on the verge of extinction,

Breeding Siberian tigers frequently causes them to starve to death, which is a sign of weakness. Now that I am rich, I naturally have to contribute to the reproduction of Siberian tigers.

It is not impossible for Fang Mingyuan to donate hundreds of thousands or even millions to the center, but the Heihe Daozi Cat Breeding and Breeding Center cannot survive on losses. And as the number of tigers increases, there is a gap in funds.

It will get bigger and bigger. Although no matter how big it is, with Fang Mingyuan's current net worth, just setting aside a part of his annual income is enough to fill this gap, but this is not a long-term solution after all. It is better to teach a man to fish.

Teach a man to fish!

Wang Yugang and Li Guangcheng secretly glanced at each other. It seems that there is a way. This young man of unknown origin may be able to help them solve some difficulties. This is what is lost and what is gained. I originally thought that the money spent here is considered a gain.

The water drifted away, but I didn't expect that I would still meet a noble person.

"Director Wang, Section Chief Li, have you ever thought that with the current number of tigers in your center, you can build a tiger park in this ice city, open to tourists, for tourists to watch tigers up close? I think

, which is quite attractive to many people.”

"Watching tigers at close range? How close?" Wang Yugang asked strangely. Tigers in the zoo are either in the Tiger Mountain, where tourists watch them from a high position, or they are in cages and watched through iron fences. This distance is far away.

It's not that far.

"Have you two seen Animal World? It was mentioned in it that there are large wildlife reserves in many African countries. Tourists can also enter the reserves to watch wild animals accompanied by guides.

For example, giraffes, bison, and even lions. But unlike in the zoo, people sit in the car and watch the animals that can move freely outside the car. The two sides are only separated by a layer of glass windows and iron sheets with barbed wire.

Get the car body." Fang Mingyuan said seemingly casually.
