Chapter 25
Most people are misled by the panda's round and soft appearance, but Du Yu knows that pandas also eat meat and their combat power is no weaker than other bears.
Seeing this big guy suddenly rushed towards him, Du Yu was so scared that his legs became weak and quickly turned around and ran back!
I scolded the keepers all the time. How could I let this guy go?!
Katie only saw the big fat man (panda) chasing, and the little fat man (pudding) was fleeing. She was frightened by this scene and hurriedly placed her bicycle on the road, trying to stop the panda.
Obstacles appeared on the road. This half-large male panda, who was underage, stopped tactfully, raised his head, and stared at Katie with those dark circles. It was probably not long after taking a shower, and the fur was clearly black and white, and it looked quite cute.
After becoming a cat, his courage became smaller. Pudding ran far away, about thirty meters away, and suddenly remembered that Katie was still there! He gritted his teeth and turned around to go back, but he saw the panda standing in front of Katie.
It was so fat that he was breathing heavily when walking. After suddenly running for such a long time, Du Yu was already out of breath. He rushed to the panda and stopped it and Katie, and screamed as a tiger.
The appearance has nothing to do with the word "fear". When the body becomes round, all the momentum is gone, just like the panda in front of you.
The body size was a few circles smaller than this black and white cute creature. Two fat men, one big and one small, stared at each other with their eyes, and did not dare to act rashly. At this time, Katie was still moved and asked with a smile on her face, "Wow, are you here to save me?"
Du Yu turned around and rolled her eyes, thinking to herself why this stupid girl hasn't left yet. If she was injured by a panda, she would definitely be the headlines of tomorrow's news.
At this moment, a lady wearing long rubber boots hurried over, pressed the panda and said, "I'm very sorry! I was cleaning them just now, and I just found that Gene was lost. He didn't hurt you, right?"
"No, but it scared my cat, what a cute panda, it's still very small?"
Katie asked, her eyes were almost on the verge of stars, and it was hard for girls to resist this cute animal with a super cute appearance.
"Just fourteen months old, I'm almost adult.
Hello, I am Caroline, a veterinarian at the zoo, who is responsible for taking care of these animals.”
The female veterinarian named Caroline reached out and shook Katie.
The hands have a smell of green bamboo leaves, while the boots are covered with black panda feces. The smell smells a bit strange, because it is not very smelly because of eating bamboo.
Du Yu has no evil hobby of smelling feces, but her nose is more sensitive than that of humans. She is always affected by various odors. The reason why she likes to stay with Katie is also the factors that smell good on her body.
They are still staring at the panda in front of them. It is ridiculous to say that pudding eyes are not much smaller than pandas. They like to transform "eye shadow" to cover up the defects of the small eyes.
Calculate it, Du Yu is still the owner of these pandas now, how can he weaken his momentum in front of it?
Unfortunately, the other party was taller and his head was tilted, which made him feel a little sore, so he was too lazy to bother with the stupid bear that he almost scared him to pee.
Usually, elephants are the most expensive animals in zoos. However, in zoos with pandas, raising a panda can cost about five elephants. They need a team to take special care of them. The money spent on maintaining the Black and White Bear Zoo is mainly concentrated on these pandas.
If other zoos want to own pandas, they must rent them from China. Not only will they pay rent every year, but they have to return them to China after giving birth, which costs even higher.
In the Black and White Bear Zoo, due to historical problems, the ancestors of these pandas had already arrived in the UK as early as the founding of New China and even before the founding of the Republic of China. Therefore, they are the only private pandas in the world, and are nominally owned by the zoo. According to regulations more than 30 years ago, they are not allowed to be traded and traded.
Logically speaking, a zoo with giant pandas should not lose money.
The reason for the current situation is mainly because the London Zoo, which also owns giant pandas, robbed the business that originally belonged to the Black and White Bear Zoo, which has more than 16,000 animals, covering nearly 800 species of animal species, and is located in the city.
Compared with the situation of the Black and White Bear Zoo, it is clear where tourists choose to go. If people have visited the London Zoo, they will not come to the poor Black and White Bear Zoo again. Over time, they will decline. The annual ticket revenue is not enough to maintain the zoo's expenses for two months.
Therefore, the old Berkshire housekeeper planned to sell it. The London Zoo was willing to give 5.3 million pounds of "relocation fees" for several animals they had not had before, as a disguised purchase of pandas, Angoroka tortoises, white lions, etc. If you agree to talk, you might get more money...
Mrs. Ross has passed away, and this job has become a focus of attention. When she learned that Katie was the housekeeper who was commissioned to take care of the pudding, Caroline asked her tentatively:
"What are your plans next? I mean this zoo. My father used to work in this zoo. Later, I learned to be a veterinarian and got this job from him.
The old Berkshire housekeeper came to talk to us. I want to say that the London Zoo is only willing to take the animals away, but we don’t need to go there to work. Please think carefully, the animals have adapted to the environment here."
The implication is that once they agree to sell the zoo, they will be unemployed, and the London Zoo only has animals and no humans.
The British speak more tactfully than the Americans, but compared with the Chinese group represented by Du Yu, it still seems more direct. If you don’t keep anything in your heart, just say what you should say.
Katie was still young and had not even left the university and had no experience in dealing with this difficult resignation problem. She shook her head and told: "Sorry, I don't know what will happen. You should know that I am just the butler in charge of taking care of Pudding, and the trust staff of Pudding's trust fund will deal with these problems."
"That's definitely over. They only have money in their eyes. They are just calculating how much money they can reduce their losses by selling the zoo, but they never thought about the feelings of the animals.
In order to keep this place, I even want to only get half of my salary in the future. My home is here, so do my colleagues.”
It is related to the future, Ms. Caroline is obviously a little excited.
Du Yu looked in the direction of her finger and found a row of wooden houses next to the Panda Garden. Maybe this is their home. No wonder he is so opposed to selling the zoo.
While thinking in a daze, I felt something fluffy coming over. Pudding stretched out his little paws and found out that it was Panda Gene, who decisively pushed away this big guy with his short legs...
