Chapter 1240 Panda Diplomacy
At this time, Chen Zetao, who was in Daxia, received a call from Xiao Peng. He laughed and said, "Brother Xiao, it's really rare for you to call me. Usually I'm the one who calls you, why did you call me this time? Oh? You need me for something? You said it's okay, as long as I can do your thing, I will definitely... Shit! Are you crazy? Uh, let me call you and ask, I really can't guarantee that I can do it! Oh my god! What do you mean it must be done? And it must be done as soon as possible? I'm a human, not a god! This is not about money! What? Hey! Don't hang up! Shit! You really hung up! You might as well not call me!"
Jelena Chen and others who were enjoying grilled squid watched Chen Zetao hang up the phone angrily, not knowing what had happened. Except for Ilka who knew a few words of Chinese, no one else understood it and they all looked at Chen Zetao curiously.
Yelena bit her lip and asked, "Chen, what happened?"
Chen Zetao's mood brightened when he heard Jelena ask him about it. Jelena had always been resistant to him, and he had always been the one to talk to her. This was the first time she had taken the initiative to talk to him, so he smiled and said, "Don't worry, it's nothing. It's just that stupid boss of yours who's gone crazy again!"
After he finished speaking, Ilka became unhappy. He glared at Chen Zetao and said, "Mr. Chen, why are you scolding my master? He treats you as a friend, so why are you scolding him behind his back?"
Chen Zetao said helplessly, "That's just a nickname between friends. Forget it, I can't explain it to you clearly. I need to solve the problem for your stupid boss right now. You guys can play here first while I make a phone call!"
Jelena asked curiously, "What is he going to do to make you so worried?"
Chen Zetao sighed. "Whether I'm worried or not isn't a big deal. You guys will definitely be very happy when the time comes! I'll go make a phone call first!"
Jelena and the others watched as Chen Zetao picked up the phone with a worried look on his face. They didn't know what had happened. Why were they the only ones happy?
Then Chen Zetao picked up the phone with a helpless look on his face: "Hello, Lao Zheng, trouble has come... What trouble? Why don't you check to see if something happened to that guy! He suddenly went crazy!"
While Chen Zetao was worried sick, Xiao Peng from the Netherlands was excited: "Karl, I have to say you're really smart. You solved my problem right away!"
Carl was also confused: "What did you do? Xiao, don't be so impulsive and do stupid things when you're young! Forget about the zoo! If you really want to raise some animals, I think your stables are not enough. Raise a few horses. It would be a waste not to ride horses on such a large estate! I'll find you some horses! Raising good horses here is more prestigious than having a luxury car!"
Xiao Peng said, "Well... Karl, you're right. We need to raise horses. Then Walter, his son, and Emil can come and ride horses. But that will have to wait until the house here is finished. Well, we also need a bunch of dogs to help me guard the house... But that's not what we need to do now."
"Then what exactly do you do?" Carl was confused.
Xiao Peng snapped his fingers. "What do we have in Daxia that would drive Dutch animal lovers crazy? Something that would make them jealous but not say bad things?"
Carl was silent for a moment, then suddenly glared: "Damn it! You're not planning on getting a panda, are you?"
Xiao Peng shook his head; "Of course not!"
Carl let out a sigh.
Xiao Peng continued, "I plan to get two!"
"Puff!" Carl snorted. But after a moment's thought, he continued, "If you can actually get one, I think you'll save yourself a lot of trouble. The Dutch people love pandas so much. No, no, no, to be more precise, everyone in the world loves pandas."
The Dutch people love pandas like crazy. When they brought a pair of pandas from Daxia, the scene really shocked the Daxia people - or the whole world, making people deeply feel that "people are inferior to cats."
First, they sent a special plane to Daxia to pick them up. In fact, using a special plane to pick them up was not very grand, but they simply redesigned the plane. The coating on the surface of the plane was redesigned and sprayed with the portraits of two pandas and their names on it.
As soon as the plane landed, a dozen or so guide cars led the way, and over 5,000 police officers escorted the entire route. For the more than ten kilometers from the airport to the panda enclosure, people in black and white, dressed in "panda pink," spontaneously lined the streets to greet them. It was like a funeral procession...
This is truly impressive! The panda enclosure is a traditional Daxia-style palace, purpose-built at a cost of 7.1 million euros! It covers over 9,000 square meters, of which 3,400 square meters are dedicated to the pandas. It includes bedrooms, a dining room, a playground, a clinic, and even a nursery for the pandas!
During that time, the whole of Amsterdam was filled with flags with panda patterns, panda photos were everywhere on the walls, and panda statues were on the roofs of buses. It was even more lively than the Chinese New Year!
The Dutch people have always paid great attention to pandas. When the two pandas were having sex, they broke the Dutch TV ratings, and the birth of their baby gave the entire Dutch people a shot of excitement.
When the people of Daxia learned about this, they couldn't help but sigh: These two pandas are not going on a trip, they are clearly going to 'ascend the throne'! The title of 'the cutest diplomats' is well deserved!
Of course, there is also a business component to the Netherlands's move.
From the beginning, they portrayed pandas as a scarce market resource that was acquired at great cost: the story of the zoo owner spending sixteen years and making more than twenty trips to and from China to bring back pandas is well known in the Netherlands; and such a scarce resource certainly needs to be packaged, so luxurious panda houses came into being.
This is just like a barber shop. They are all barber shops, but as long as the decoration is luxurious, they will charge exorbitant prices. In fact, the barbers may not be as good as those in roadside shops.
When Xiao Peng was in Amsterdam, he also visited the panda house, where there were all kinds of strange and bizarre panda-related goods: panda desserts, ice cream, chocolate, cakes... and even panda beer!
Of course, regardless of whether it is a commercial activity, pandas in the Netherlands are definitely treated with the highest standards and have a very good life. The Dutch people love pandas very much.
Even the global pandemic couldn't dampen the Dutch people's enthusiasm for panda viewing. Even during the Amsterdam riots, there were crowds of people spontaneously protecting the panda enclosure. You can imagine how much they love pandas.
Carl thought for a moment and said, "Right now, the pandas in the Netherlands are in Amsterdam in the north. There are really no pandas in the south. If you can bring pandas here, that would be great news. But aren't you afraid that they will force you to open your home? You'll really squeeze through the door!"
"Hey, I've figured out a solution!"
