Chapter 461
The shutter was pressed. Next to the sign of the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center, Li Dongling, Chen Linfeng, Fang Peigang, Fu Lang, and others took a photo together. Basically, the sign was hung up.
"The Giant Xiong Mao Research Center will be one of the key projects that the Pingyang Municipal Government will focus on in the future!"
Chen Linfeng, on behalf of Yao Zhengru and the Pingyang Municipal Government, expressed his position. The panda has been determined to be a national treasure and is also the most important animal in the Pingyang Animal Park in the future, so the Pingyang Municipal Government naturally attaches importance to it.
"Mr. Li, I want to represent the Animal Association to thank you for your protection and contribution to the giant panda. Now the situation of the giant panda in the country is really not good. Only with supporters like Mr. Li for the Animal Association can the giant panda have hope in the future!"
Fu Lang, who came on behalf of the Hanxi Animal Association, spoke first.
After Fu Lang spoke, He Zehai of the Giant Xiong Mao Research Center also said, "The Hanxi Giant Xiong Mao Research Center can be settled in Pingyang. It is indeed necessary to thank Mr. Li for his generosity. In the future, the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center will definitely stand with Pingyang and Dongling Gao Ke!"
Listening to what these two people said, it sounded like there was nothing wrong, but there was a faint meaning of dark confrontation. Fang Peigang, who was in charge of the Pingyang Animal Park, stood with Li Dongling and watched the two of them coldly.
Li Dongling looked at He Linfeng, and He Linfeng cast a helpless look at Li Dongling. Obviously, Fu Lang and He Zehai were clearly not getting along.
As for why they didn't get along, it was naturally because of conflicting interests. When it comes to funds, who doesn't want to have a hand in it?
It didn't matter if the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center wasn't established, but now that it was established, a problem arose: who is in charge of this Giant Xiong Mao Research Center?
Does the Giant Xiong Mao Research Center have the final say, manage research projects itself, and allocate funds itself, or does the Hanxi Animal Association have the final say?
In particular, the funds allocated by the Dongling Gao Ke investment department and the Pingyang Animal Park to the Giant Xiong Mao Research Center every year, whether managed by the research center itself or by the Hanxi Animal Association, became a problem.
As the person in charge of the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center, He Zehai certainly does not want to have a mother-in-law on his head and be restricted by the Hanxi Animal Association in everything.
But for the Hanxi Animal Association, the situation is completely different. This is a clean department. Now is not the time more than a decade later in the previous life when animal protection is so valued, the Animal Association has great power, and funds are much more abundant, and it is on the hot search from time to time.
Now the Hanxi Animal Association is also short of funds. They not only want to protect the giant panda, but also other rare and endangered animals, plants, and other species, all of which need to be protected, and personnel also need to be paid, but where do the funds come from?
Just like Fu Lang himself, hanging the title of director of the Hanxi Animal Association, it sounds like the position is not low, but in reality, the salary is only the most basic, and sometimes it is owed, and life is also tight.
Seeing that the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center was set up, and the first batch of 3.5 million funds paid by the investment department under Dongling Gao Ke, in conjunction with the Pingyang Animal Park, had already arrived, could the Hanxi Animal Association have no thoughts?
After all, theoretically, the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center is managed by the Hanxi Animal Association. This is also the reason for the confrontation between Fu Lang and He Zehai. The world is bustling for profit.
"Now the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center has built panda enclosures, veterinary hospitals, and primary special laboratories. It is currently building special sports fields for pandas, feed research rooms, etc., and has also cultivated bamboo forests for raising pandas.
At present, the entire Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center has two big and one small panda. In the next step, the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center is preparing to 'rescue' more giant pandas and enter the Giant Xiong Mao Research Center..."
The group of people walked into the Giant Xiong Mao Research Center, and He Zehai introduced it to Li Dongling, the big financier.
But just as he said this, Qian Zhicheng, who had been silent, suddenly said, "For the rescue of giant pandas, we should not catch how many giant pandas into the research center to protect, but protect the habitat of giant pandas.
If they are in the laboratory for a long time and human intervention in panda breeding, it may cause the panda population to degenerate..."
Qian Zhicheng's words caused He Haize and Fu Lang to cast dissatisfied glances at him. Now there are several giant panda research bases in the country, all of which catch some wild giant pandas to the base for protection and breeding.
"The most important thing now is to protect the breeding and quantity of giant pandas. What Professor Qian said has not been scientifically proven. Human intervention in breeding has an immediate effect compared to wild population breeding!"
He Haize said. He is also an expert in this field. Although his fame is not as great as Qian Zhicheng's, now the debate about whether giant panda breeding is human intervention or letting it breed naturally is still endless.
This cannot be said who is right and who is wrong, it can only be proved by time, but if they are kept in captivity, there will definitely be an impact more or less. After all, a piece of egg yolk pie can make the wolf king of Hoh Xil wag its tail...
Of course, He Haize said this, on the one hand, it was indeed to allow giant pandas to breed more, and on the other hand, it was also for funds. After all, only when there are more giant pandas in the research center can they get more funds!
Qian Zhicheng moved his lips and finally did not speak again. He was invited by the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Protection Center, and he also wanted to do research here. He couldn't keep tearing down the stage.
Li Dongling listened to these disputes without saying a word. He Haize and Fu Lang also couldn't figure out Li Dongling's attitude and didn't dare to argue anymore.
"Before entering the panda enclosure, you must wear protective clothing, as well as gloves and foot covers!"
When they were about to enter the panda enclosure, Qian Zhicheng said, blocking the door of the enclosure, his tone was very firm, "People who visit giant pandas should not have direct contact with giant pandas. Giant pandas have no antibodies to human germs, which may cause plague, fever, and other symptoms!"
He Haize and Fu Lang looked at Li Dongling with some embarrassment. To be honest, now in various places, there are no perfect regulations on how to protect giant pandas, including commercial operations, and there are many people who have direct contact with giant pandas.
It is rare to see someone like Qian Zhicheng who directly blocks the big financier outside.
Li Dongling had no opinion on this. Now it's just wearing a protective suit to have contact with pandas. In the previous life, even wearing a spacesuit might not have such an opportunity.
Seeing that Li Dongling asked for a protective suit to wear, Qian Zhicheng's attitude towards this big financier changed a lot. Subsequently, Chen Linfeng, Li Dongyue, and the others were also wrapped tightly.
After Li Dongling went in, he looked at the inside curiously. There are only three pandas in the panda house now, which seems much emptier.
Two giant pandas were in different enclosures, sitting there gnawing on bamboo. One of them seemed to be accustomed to the two-legged beasts, still sitting there gnawing on bamboo, without stopping at all. One look and you know it is produced by the foodie empire. The other panda had not been in the research center for long and was still not used to the two-legged beasts.
The last one left was a small panda less than one year old. Seeing Li Dongling and the others come in, it was gnawing on an apple and looked at the group of people curiously, but the action of gnawing on the apple did not stop.
Countless humans have little resistance to cats, not to mention pandas. This kind of creature with big eyes, short nose, round face, and fluffy fat body, whether men or women, has a kind of impulse to not be able to move their eyes and want to rua it at the first sight.
This kind of creature seems to have grown on human aesthetics all over its body. This seems to be something engraved in human genes. It is usually a recessive gene, but when seeing it, the dominant gene begins to erupt.
If it weren't for Qian Zhicheng guarding against everyone like a thief, Li Dongling would have had the urge to go up and rua it, not to mention Li Dongyue and Miao Jiahui. At this moment, they had completely been unable to move their feet.
"Can I feed it?"
Li Dongyue asked Qian Zhicheng pitifully. He Haize, Fu Lang, and even Fang Peigang, who had been watching coldly, were frantically winking at Qian Zhicheng.
Li Dongyue is the eldest princess of the Li family, held in the palm of the hand by the entire Li family. Everyone in Pingyang knows how Li Dongling treats this young sister.
If this request of the Li family's eldest princess is not satisfied, how can they expect the big financier to be generous to the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center in the future.
Qian Zhicheng glanced at He Haize and the others, then signaled the staff to take a steamed bun made by the research center and gave it to Li Dongyue.
Li Dongyue took the steamed bun and carefully gave it to the small panda. The small panda looked at the steamed bun and then at Li Dongyue. Finally, it crawled over, took the steamed bun, and sat in front of Li Dongyue and gnawed on it.
Looking at the small panda in front of her, Li Dongyue couldn't help but touch the small panda's ears with her gloved hand, causing the two ears to flap. However, the small panda didn't run away. After blocking it with its claws a few times, it "angrily" turned its butt and left its back to the crowd. Li Dongyue, who touched the panda's ears, narrowed her eyes into crescent shapes.
Looking at the small panda sitting in front of her, Li Dongyue couldn't help but look back at Li Dongling. Li Dongling saw Li Dongyue's gaze and said to He Haize, "Dongling Gao Ke wants to adopt this panda. I don't know what you think?"
"Adopt?" He Haize looked at Li Dongling suspiciously.
"It means getting the naming rights of this panda, and also being able to use its image for commercial use. Paying an adoption fee of 100,000 every year, Dongling Gao Ke is willing to adopt it for life!"
He Haize, Fu Lang, and others understood Li Dongling's meaning. The giant panda is still raised at the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center, but the adopter can name the panda and use the image of the adopted panda.
Are these conditions excessive? Anyway, when He Haize and Fu Lang heard it, their hearts moved. Just name it and give 100,000 a year. It's simply too cost-effective!
Before Dongling Gao Ke invested in the Pingyang Giant Xiong Mao Research Center, they worked hard to find big financiers to donate money to pandas. At the end of the year, how much funds could they raise after their lips were worn out?!
"No problem!" He Haize and Fu Lang said in unison.
"I will also give it my pocket money every month as food expenses!"
Li Dongyue, whose eyes were full of pandas, raised her head reluctantly, "Call it Dongxing in the future!"
"Son of the East, star of tomorrow, Dongxing will definitely be a star in the panda world in the future..."
