Li Yaolin asked Lin Qitong and Deputy Manager Song to go on a business trip. First, they discussed promotion cooperation; second, they went to investigate the tourist market there, figure out their consumption habits, and then think about how to attract them to travel to Xingzhou Island; third, they went on a paid trip.
Lin Qitong could temporarily put aside her work on Xingzhou Island to relax. Not many people in Hong Kong knew her, and she didn't have to worry about her identity as the image ambassador of Xingzhou Island.
...
After two days and one night of recording, the "Westward" program team basically collected the materials for the first episode. However, the program team also received sponsorship from some scenic spots. Next, they need some guests to go to the open-pit mine and the film and television city near the Island Park to record some clips, which will be edited into the main film.
According to the schedule, the program team also had a live broadcast event on Xingzhou Island, so except for Zhou Bingyan, Fei Er, Tian Zhiguang and another flying guest who continued to record the program, the other three stayed to participate in the live broadcast.
The host of this live broadcast was also Song Ruqing. She was responsible for holding the mobile phone stand to live broadcast and travel around Xingzhou Island with Shu Shuang and Yu Cheng. During the live broadcast, she asked Shu Shuang and Yu Cheng some questions related to the program recording, but they were vague, which made the audience fans who watched the live broadcast itchy and expressed their hope that "Westward" would start broadcasting soon.
The three of them strolled to the Mermaid Square. It happened that today was the day for the monthly physical examination of the dugong population in the reserve. Under Li Yaolin's "summoning", the dugong population began to line up and wait for the staff's physical examination.
A group of tourists have already mastered this date, so in order to see the dugong, they will choose this day to come. When Song Ruqing and the other two came to live broadcast, there were already many tourists here.
Shu Shuang saw the dugong, and his eyes lit up and said, "Wow, this is a mermaid, I didn't see it when I was recording two days ago."
"What are they doing?" Yu Cheng asked.
The tourists next to him answered him, "They are giving mermaids a physical examination."
Song Ruqing and his friends had never seen a dugong physical examination, so they were curious and leaned on the railing to watch, and even forgot to live broadcast.
Seeing that the three of them were so obsessed with watching the excitement that they forgot that they were still live broadcasting, they ran out of the camera, and the audience fans began to post bullet screens and howl.
After the staff of the program group found out, they came to remind Song Ruqing, and she reacted.
However, it was impossible for her to give up the opportunity to watch the dugongs and chat with the audience, so she simply turned the camera around and let the audience watch the dugong physical examination with them.
"It's amazing!" Shu Shuang suddenly sighed.
"What?" Song Ruqing asked.
"Is that little girl a keeper? The mermaids seem to listen to her very much." Shu Shuang pointed to a girl who was not wearing a reserve work uniform besides the reserve staff.
Song Ruqing squinted and felt that the other person looked familiar, but the other person had his back to this side, so she didn't see her face.
Suddenly, the other person turned back and glanced at the people in the Mermaid Square, and Song Ruqing's eyelids jumped.
God...isn't that the girl who played table tennis with her?
In other words, the one who can command the dugongs to go ashore is the island owner? !
Should I say he is worthy of being the island owner, so awesome... cough, capable!
In the nature reserve, Long Feng called Li Yaolin: "What's wrong?"
The latter looked away and said with a smile: "Nothing, I just felt that it was a bit lively over there. It turns out there are stars there."
Long Feng also looked at the Mermaid Square. He has been immersed in research for many years and does not chase stars or pay attention to the entertainment industry, so he just glanced and retracted his gaze, saying: "I heard a long time ago that there would be a program crew and stars coming to the island to record. I thought they had left long ago, but I didn't expect them to still be here."
He was a little worried about the dugongs. After all, dugongs have very sensitive hearing, and a noisy environment may irritate them.
Li Yaolin smiled and said, "Don't worry, they are not that timid."
As if to agree with her, the dugong family rubbed Li Yaolin's calf affectionately, making the staff who could only come into contact with them on physical examination days very jealous.
"By the way, the dugong reserve has sent several researchers to learn and exchange. They will arrive tomorrow. I wonder what Mr. Li's schedule is tomorrow and whether he is free to participate?"
Li Yaolin pondered for a moment and said, "Since it is a scientific research work, I, a non-professional, can play a very small role in it, so I will not participate. But if Longzhan needs help, I will try my best to cooperate." Longfeng
sighed. Li Yaolin played a big role, but he couldn't force him.
The appearance of dugongs on Xingzhou Island has refreshed the cognition of many scientific researchers: a report released by the National Endangered Species Scientific Committee last year claimed that dugongs have been "extinct in the wild" in China, which means that wild dugongs have not been found in Chinese waters for many years. The Chinese Academy of Sciences and the London Zoological Society have also discussed the possibility of "functional extinction" of this species in China.
Therefore, researchers have determined that the dugong population that appeared on Xingzhou Island is wild, which has rewritten "history."
However, although there are baby dugongs in the dugong population, it does not mean that it will not encounter "functional extinction" unless dugongs that can reproduce naturally with dugongs in this population can be found.
At present, researchers have not studied the migration motives and routes of this dugong population. They only know that they are most likely attracted by the marine environment and lush seaweed on the Xingzhou Island. Therefore, the key lies in controlling marine pollution and making the waters of Xingzhou Island a paradise for marine animals. Is the island owner willing to expand the scope of pollution control?
However, it is unlikely. Pollution control is not easy and requires more funds. The island owner must have invested a lot of money in pollution control. Who would be willing to make a loss if she is asked to expand the scope of pollution control without giving her any benefits?
"There is one more thing. I don't know if Station Cen has mentioned it to you." Long Feng said, "The previous activity to collect names for the dugongs was very successful, and the names have been decided for a long time. Recently, someone has expressed the desire to adopt the wild animals here, but as you know, our reserve has only been established for a short time, and many tasks have not been completed yet, and there are no regulations on the adoption procedures."
Li Yaolin wondered: "Can we just learn from other zoos and animal protection organizations?"
Long Feng said: "The actual management station has two opinions on this. One is that wildlife protection should not be treated as a business. After all, our reserve is different from ordinary zoos.
"The other is to recognize loving adoption, which can not only satisfy the adopter's wish to have a closer relationship with wild animals, but also reflect his love for wild animals. "
Li Yaolin asked back: "Does Long Station want to hear my ideas?"
Long Feng nodded: "After all, our management station is jointly managed with your island, so it would be nice to hear your ideas."
Li Yaolin said: "My idea is that there are pros and cons to doing this!
“Whether it is to protect the turtles and dugongs living here or to conduct research, financial support is essential. The government can only allocate limited funds. Although the share of the ticket revenue from Xingzhou Island is also an income, the improvement of the facilities in the nature reserve and the food, clothing, housing and transportation of the management station staff are all huge expenses. If you can get financial support through adoption, it may also help your work.
"As for the disadvantages, there are relatively few animals in our reserve. Although there are many small sea turtles moving around nearby, the follow-up feedback work for the management station is more troublesome. After all, if you adopt, you have to send videos to the adopters on time to let them know the growth of the animals. The whereabouts of the small sea turtles are difficult to track, and the adoption fees for those large sea turtles and dugongs are a drop in the bucket for the current expenses of the reserve."
Long Feng sighed, "That's exactly it. "
Li Yaolin understood that Long Feng belonged to the opposing group.
"Our reserve is different from the zoo. The animals living here are not kept in captivity. They may leave at any time. Once they leave, they are bound to have disputes with their adopters."
Li Yaolin looked at the dugongs, his eyes rolled, and said with a smile: "It's easy to deal with. After all, it's sea turtles and dugongs that are adopted. If they want to be adopted, just ask them."
Long Feng: "..."
He had an expression that said "are you kidding me".
Li Yaolin didn't say much to him. After the dugongs had their physical examination, she discussed with the head of the dugong family: "Are the seaweed and seaweed here abundant? "
The dugong leader barked in response.
"Is that so? Look, you've gained more than ten pounds in just a few months of settling down! But this is all because of the money you paid for it."
The dugong leader was silent for a while.
"Forget it, let's not talk about money. It hurts feelings." After Li Yaolin finished speaking, he seemed to see a hint of speechlessness in the dugong leader's expression.
Dugong leader: "..."
"Now someone wants to adopt you. Do you know what adoption means? It means giving money to the management station and letting them provide you with better and more comfortable living conditions, but you have to become the adopters' children/relatives. Are you willing? "
The dugong leader turned around and talked in a slow manner with his family members, and finally nodded to Li Yaolin to indicate his agreement.
Long Feng and a group of staff members were so surprised that their eyes almost popped out. They knew that dugongs were very close to the island owner, but it was the first time they saw them communicating so clearly.
Li Yaolin looked at Long Feng: "They also think it's okay, but the current staff of the management station is indeed not enough. You can consider recruiting more people. "
Long Feng and the others looked at her with fear, curiosity and admiration, wondering how she could communicate with them. They were so well-behaved to her, just like her pets.
Although they were shocked, they took her words to heart.
Upon hearing that the management station was recruiting, the researchers who were conducting research in the reserve immediately stepped forward to recommend their students/acquaintances.
Regardless of whether the recruitment was for a career or contract, being able to work here would add to your resume. It will be much more beautiful.
Since it has been decided to open up the qualifications for adoption, the conditions and procedures for adoption must be discussed.
In terms of the amount of the adoption fee, Li Yaolin proposed to calculate it according to the life span of the animal. For example, the average life span of a dugong is more than 50 years. If we calculate it based on 50 years, is it not too much to charge 2 million for lifetime adoption?
Of course, the adoption fee for an old dugong can be lower. A young dugong still has several decades to live,
so it is worth 2 million. Cen Yingda: "...The life span of a sea turtle can reach 200 years. Wouldn't it start at tens of millions of yuan? The adoption fee for an animal in a zoo is only a few hundred yuan."
Li Yaolin said: "The minimum starting fee for adopting a panda is one million yuan, and if you pay in installments, it will be 100,000 yuan a year. Although they are not as rare as giant pandas, the adoption fee is too low, which is too degrading for them. "
Everyone: "..."
That makes sense.
The management station reported the adoption and received approval from the Natural Resources Bureau. Soon after, the official website of the conservation station announced that adoption rights were open.
…
After the program was recorded, Shu Shuang did not return to Hong Kong immediately.
The experience of filming the program on Xingzhou Island gave her a lot of creative inspiration. Although many of her songs were not written by her, most of the lyrics were written by herself. Even though she has semi-retired, many people still send her their songs, hoping that she can sing them.
Before taking on "Journey to the West", the producers of the record company have always hoped that she can make a formal comeback, enter the mainland market, and grab a place in the Chinese-speaking circle. This program can be said to be a test for the company. If the response is good, then she will To release a new album.
For this reason, even though she was not very happy about it, for various reasons, she finally selected a few songs that she liked, took on the task of writing lyrics, and prepared for future work.
The trip to Xingzhou Island made her let go of that bit of reluctance. Her inspiration was like a pipe that had been blocked for years. After being unblocked, the water gushed out all at once.
So she decided to stay on Xingzhou Island. Anyway, the hotels here were not too expensive for her.
The vacation life on Xingzhou Island is very comfortable. When inspiration comes or when there is work, she turns on the computer to work. When she is free, She went to sit by the fountain in the Mermaid Square. As the evening breeze blew, she could faintly hear singing.
Some people said that it was the sound made by the "mermaid" dugong living nearby. Although she had never heard a dugong sing in person, she believed this statement.
After hearing that the nature reserve allowed the adoption of wild protected animals, she went to consult about the relevant matters without hesitation. She
wanted to adopt the dugong cub "Liangliang".
The current adoption conditions given by the management station are a one-time payment of one million yuan for lifetime adoption, and the installment is two hundred thousand yuan a year.
After adoption, not only can you receive its growth records and videos, but you can also communicate with it. Contact it, name it (change its name), and when it gives birth in the future, she will have the priority to name it...
Shu Shuang did not hesitate to give one million yuan to the management station, fearing that someone else would take away the quota if she was late.
Management station staff: "..."
She is really a singing queen, beautiful, sweet and kind!
In addition to the dugong cub, Shu Shuang also adopted a green sea turtle cub.
This little sea turtle was one of the little sea turtles bred last year that had no ability to survive on its own. For this reason, Long Feng and others kept it and artificially raised it until it was two or three years old and had the ability to return to the sea.
Because the whereabouts of the baby turtles are difficult to track, the adoption fee does not need to be too high. In terms of years, it is only 600 yuan a year.
In addition to the adoption certificate, Shu Shuang also received a dugong cub stuffed pillow and a baby turtle keychain.
The pillow is fluffy and soft, and it is very comfortable to hug. Shu Shuang usually hugs it when she is working or video chatting with people. When her friends asked her why she liked the stuffed pillow, she asked proudly: "Isn't it cute? This is my daughter, Jingjing."
Friends: "???"
On that day, the headline of a Hong Kong newspaper's entertainment section was: "Singer Shu Shuang revealed that she has a daughter and has been raising her in the mainland!"
This gossip news made Xingzhou Island appear in front of Hong Kong people for the first time by riding on the popularity of the singing queen.
The author has something to say:
Dugong: We don’t want to be adopted, but... they really give too much.
