Chapter 937 Impulsive Consumption

Sumatran tiger cubs rely on breast milk to survive for the first eight weeks after birth, and the entire lactation period may be as long as five to six months, after which the cubs will slowly begin to learn hunting skills from the female tiger. In terms of size

Look, Zhang Yun concluded that these two tiger cubs were probably just one month old and still in the lactation period. The tigress was probably in a state of physical weakness after giving birth, which is why someone killed her cubs together with her.

This carnivorous beast looks similar to its close relative, the cat, when it is young. It has a pitiful and harmless appearance. The two apprentices couldn't help but reach out and touch it. The cub thought it was feeding them, and immediately took their fingers into its mouth.

It kept sucking and it looked quite fun.

When Zhang Yun was hesitant, the businessman murmured again, and the translator explained to Zhang Yun: "He said that if Mr. Zhang finds it inconvenient to buy a live tiger and take it away, he can also provide slaughtering services and peel off the skin.

The tiger meat is marinated and the tiger bones are soaked in wine. If you don’t want to wait, he has it ready in the warehouse and can deliver it right away.”

Zhang Yun sighed, thinking that if there is no business, there will be no killing. If he does not pay the money, the next fate of these Sumatran tigers will probably be to peel off their skin and die with cramps. Although the Sumatran tiger is a ferocious beast, it is nowhere to be found.

In front of helpless humans, they are just prey waiting to be slaughtered.

"Forget it, buy, buy, buy, let him go back and deliver these tigers to the dock, and then pay him." Zhang Yun hesitated for a while, but finally relented and decided to buy these tigers and take them away.

As for how to arrange them in the future, Zhang Yun hasn't thought about it yet. He doesn't feel bad about the money, but he is a little worried about whether Roger, Mu Xiabai, and Yan Chujie will blame themselves too much after they know about it.

He made his own decisions. After all, he was able to go out to conduct scientific investigations largely because of the support of the military. If he offended people like the military, it would be difficult for him to apply for such an opportunity to follow the army in the future.

The businessman was overjoyed after hearing this and said that he would send two more jars of tiger bone wine to Zhang Yun. Only the Han people from the north would buy this thing, and the people from the west basically did not care about the legacy left by the beasts.

If he is interested in the bones, he can only buy a few tiger skins. Before Zhang Yun arrived, he had not opened for nearly half a month. If he waited any longer, he would have to kill the tigers, break them down and sell them in pieces. Finally, he got a willing

The person who paid for it will naturally try his best to seize this opportunity to sell the live tiger in his hands.

Most of the items sold in this market are local spices, fruits and vegetables, poultry, etc., as well as some slaves transported from distant places. Zhang Yun took his apprentice and a group of guards around the market, but there was no

He found some other good things that needed to be chopped. When he and his people slowly returned to the port, the tiger seller had already asked someone to ship one large, two small, and three tigers over, along with an iron cage and tiger bone wine.

Liangtan. Zhang Yun asked someone to withdraw the cash and complete the delivery with the merchant.

"You...did you buy this?" Roger looked at the tiger in the cage, and he couldn't hide the surprise on his face.

"Yes, impulsive spending is harmful!" Zhang Yun smiled sheepishly and said: "This thing probably needs a special cabin on the supply ship to house it."

Roger walked around the cage three times before giving the order: "Come here, go to the market quickly."

Zhang Yun thought that Roger wanted to return the goods, so he hurriedly said: "The money has already been paid, why don't we get it back? After all, we are also respectable people..."

Roger wondered: "What are you asking for back? Do you think I plan to send this tiger back?"

Zhang Yun said in astonishment: "Isn't that what you mean?"

Roger smiled and told the soldier next to him: "Go to the market and see if there are any live chickens or ducks. Buy some more and use them as food for this tigress! Look at how hungry this tiger is, skin and bones.

, the meat is almost gone, where is the milk to feed the little ones... By the way, if you look at the lactating sheep, dogs, etc., buy them back too!"

After Roger sent people to the market, he saw Zhang Yun's confused look and couldn't help laughing: "It's useless for you to be a biologist. You just bought this tiger without preparing food for it. Are you planning to feed it with your own body?"

Tiger?"

Zhang Yun came back to his senses and didn't care about Roger's ridicule. He smiled and responded: "Isn't it that I was worried that you would complain about this thing when I bought it? I was thinking about how to explain this to you.

I forgot about the real thing. But I really didn’t expect that you would accept this matter so well!"

Roger waved his hand and said: "You don't need to praise me. How much does this tiger cost? I will pay it for you later, and the tiger will be raised on Ampurna Island. The manpower is also cheap over there, and I will be able to capture dozens of acres by then."

What do you think about setting up a wild tiger park?"

Zhang Yun smiled and said: "Are you planning to charge admission to the zoo?"

Roger said sternly: "To be honest, I have long been thinking about what kind of tourism projects to attract tourists. There is no special scenery in Ambuna Island, so we can only build some unique entertainment projects to attract people.

The investment threshold for setting up a zoo is low and it is quick to operate. The only problem is that the flow of people on Ambona Island is too small. To attract tourists, it will take a long time to publicize it."

Zhang Yun slowly put away the smile on his face: "Are you really planning to build a zoo?"

"It's true!" Roger nodded seriously and said, "When you were giving lectures to students on the boat a few days ago, I happened to hear a passage. There are more than 40,000 animals in Southeast Asia, including elephants, tigers, rhinos,

Giant pythons, crocodiles... there are many rare birds and animals that ordinary people cannot see. You said that if you build a zoo on Ambon Island, supplement it with other entertainment projects, and turn the place into a sea paradise, it is not a good idea.

A business plan?”

Zhang Yun frowned and said, "Why does this storyline feel a bit familiar?"

"Have you seen Jurassic Park?" Roger reminded him: "Although we can't find the dinosaurs, the island is ready! We can definitely build a seventeenth-century version of the wildlife park and turn on the hunting mode.

And then use this to attract customers.”

Zhang Yun questioned: "If you want to get so many large beasts, you also have to encircle a large enough area for them to move around. Considering the conditions of Ambona Island, do you plan to build a road with a circumference of tens or hundreds of kilometers?"

A wall to contain the wild beasts?”

"No, no, no, it's not that troublesome!" Roger shook his head and explained: "There is a peninsula area at the southern end of Amborna Island, with an area of ​​about two hundred square kilometers. The connection between the mainland and the main island is

Less than a thousand meters wide, as long as a fence is built there, all the beasts can be kept on the peninsula. We only need to regularly count the number of wild animals in that area and then supplement it. In this regard

You are an expert, the approach I mentioned should work, right?"

"If you don't take into account the complex reactions that may occur when animal populations from different areas are put into the same area, the method you mentioned is certainly feasible in theory. After all, the wildlife parks we have seen before basically used this operation.

Routine..." Zhang Yun said as he suddenly came back to his senses: "You shouldn't have just started thinking about these things, right? Why do I think you want to plot against me?"

"I'm not plotting against you, I just want to give you a chance to use your talents!" Roger emphasized: "If you are engaged in biological research, you should apply what you have learned. All the animals collected from everywhere are sent to Ambona Island.

When you do research, you don’t have to worry about any dangerous species spreading out and affecting the ecological balance, since they all can’t fly out on the island anyway. Having a dedicated place to do research is better than running around all year round, right?”

Zhang Yun was slightly moved after hearing this. He didn't want to have an environment where he could observe the living conditions of various animal populations at close range. But of course he knew very well that the only condition the Executive Committee could create for him at present was to provide him with a job.

More opportunities for field trips, that's all. If he reported to the executive committee to apply for a zoo or other project, he himself would not be so shameless. First, the project is huge and requires a lot of resources to be mobilized.

The teacher simply cannot coordinate and coordinate; secondly, if it is operated as a commercial project, he does not have the ability; if it is operated as a scientific research project, it is unlikely to apply for sufficient start-up funds; thirdly, this place is not easy to choose.

, the local officials on Hainan Island are busy constantly expanding the scale of plantations, and no one will be interested in such a project that is troublesome and slow to produce results.

Although Zhang Yun himself had thought about opening a zoo, he knew that it would be too difficult to operate, so he never mentioned it to anyone. Today was the first time he heard someone take the initiative to mention the matter. He thought it was difficult to handle.

It seems that a solution can be found in Roger, and the project that was originally thought to be impossible seems to have seen a glimmer of light. Although Roger plans to attract customers by hunting, it is a bit cruel to think about it, but in the end

Under the conditions of today's era, Zhang Yun could not think of a more feasible solution.

Zhang Yun thought for a while and continued to ask: "How will the start-up funds be solved? Which department is going to take the lead? If the operation effect does not reach the expected level, what else is there to file for?"

"Money is not a problem. As long as we can get a project, someone will invest. You know our business reputation is now to the point where we can directly send the word 'Haihan' to a pawn shop for money. As long as we take the lead in the official

For many projects, there are many people queuing up to send money." Roger is full of confidence in the source of funds: "As long as a well-prepared investment meeting is held, I think we can raise enough funds."

"As for which department will take the lead, I'm afraid it would be more prudent for the Ministry of Commerce to come forward and deal with all parties. It is definitely inconvenient for our military to intervene directly, but the garrison on the island can try its best to cooperate with the development and operation of the project." Roger said slowly.

Slowly analyzed: "And the unit you are in...what is it called?"

"Science Research Institute." Zhang Yun prompted.

"Yes, yes, the Academy of Science can name itself as a cooperative unit or consultant! Of course, if you make a profit, you will definitely give a share to your unit." Roger continued to persuade: "If you have a career,

If the unit participates and the project is submitted to the executive committee at that time, the chance of approval will be greater."

Zhang Yun said in surprise: "I didn't realize that you, a Chinese American, are quite familiar with the rules of the system!"

Roger smiled bitterly and said: "This is also forced by the situation. If I didn't understand the rules of the game, I would still be working as a senior technician in Tiandu Industrial Zone. How could I jump out and become a local official? There was no such thing as a job transfer at the beginning.

Less activity, you know."

Zhang Yun nodded sympathetically, expressing his understanding of his situation. As a member of the North American Gang, Roger was originally supposed to be assigned to serve in the military, but because he had been engaged in machining work at General Motors for several years before time traveling,

, but was forcibly snatched away by the Ministry of Industry, which was in urgent need of technical talents at the time. Although Roger also participated in several combat missions with other members of the North American Gang during this period, most of the time he was still working as a senior technician in the Tiandu Industrial Zone.

Assisting in setting up a production workshop while coaching apprentices. If the rapid expansion had not greatly increased the military's demand for senior officers, and Wang Tom and others helped in the activities, Roger might really have been able to stay in the field alone.

A screw from Haihan Industrial.

Of course, Roger himself was more inclined to join the army and fight, so when he had the opportunity to be transferred abroad, he gave up his job at Tian Du without hesitation. Not long after staying in Qiongbei, he came south to Ambona Island. To be honest,

What he did on Ambona Island is remarkable. When he first took over the island from Mu Xiabai, there was no industry at all on the island. It was just a small supply port in the South China Sea. But in the past two years,

Since then, many new plantations have been added to the island, the population has more than doubled, and output has gradually begun, and the island no longer relies solely on blood transfusions to maintain daily operations.

Roger is not satisfied with being the owner of a free island. On the one hand, he forms and trains his own armed forces. On the other hand, he is also trying every means to increase the business projects and income of Ambona Island to make up for the various problems on the island.

Expenditure and consumption. Regarding the zoo, he actually had a sudden inspiration after Zhang Yun arrived at Amborna Island with the fleet after the South China Sea exercise began.

Of course, considering the traffic conditions of this era and the location of Ambona Island, no matter how well Roger operates this project, it is impossible for Ambona Island to turn into a crowded Disneyland. He knows this very well.

, so from the beginning, we did not plan to take the route of a zoo for the general public, but to operate it as a hunting ground full of various beasts, and let hunting become the main source of income for this project - you can spend money and time on the boat.

People who come to Ambona Island probably won’t mind spending a little more money for excitement.

From the very beginning, Roger envisioned this project based on the premise that Zhang Yun would join the team. Only by having such a knowledgeable person would it be possible to run this project for a long time, so he had been looking for the right time to discuss this with Zhang Yun.

Something happened. But I didn’t expect that this opportunity would arise because of Zhang Yun’s accidental impulse purchase.
