Wan Guohou suddenly opened his eyes. Perhaps because he was too tired, he actually fell asleep in the warm water.

He rubbed his face vigorously a few times, then pressed an invisible button on the left side of the pool, "Come in." ”

A minute later, K1 walked in with a thick bathrobe. He had apparently seen Wan Guohou's nakedness, as he was not surprised or uncomfortable by the strange scars and pale face. He walked to the edge of the pool and put on a bathrobe for Wan Guohou, who lazily asked, "How long have I slept?"

"It won't be long, it's only ten minutes. K1 replied, "Mr. Moon went out with Madheart, I was going to tell you about it." ”

"Oh, where have you been?" Wan Guohou walked over to the floor-to-ceiling mirror and began to rub a special skin care ointment on his face.

"I went to Gubei and bought a DVD. I remember mentioning once when I was in New York that T3 wanted to watch a movie after he was injured. K1 replied.

Wan Guohou's hand wiping his face suddenly stopped, and he thought thoughtfully, "There are a lot of RB people in Gubei. ”

"Yes, maybe she's going to buy RB DVDs. K1 glanced at his watch, vaguely anxious, because Wan Guohou had made an appointment to talk, and the time was almost up. "Master Hou. He couldn't help but remind, "You made an appointment with Yu Jingbo for an interview." ”

"Oh. Wan Guohou said coldly, "If you don't say it, I almost forgot." He looked in the mirror and carefully put on his contact lenses, "How many people do I have to see in the afternoon?"

K1 pulled out his notepad and read the list out in a proper manner.

Wan Guohou nodded, "Rank Yu Jingbo last." ”

"But......" K1 hesitated, "his car was already in the crown." Just before I get you a bathrobe. ”

"Then let him wait in the study. Wan Guohou grimaced mischievously, "I believe his time is not that valuable. At least, in my case, not at all. ”

A quarter of an hour later, Wan Guohou appeared in the study on the second floor of the crown. He wore a dark brownish-green glenn checked suit, but the green was so pure that it looked a little blue, a very ornate paisley tie tied under the collar of his shirt, and the usual wide windsor knot, his long black hair was tied into a braid, and the sideburns at the corners of his forehead were cut like knives. When he saw Yu Jingbo, a mysterious smile appeared on his face - like an arctic wolf seeing a lone musk ox.

Yu Jingbo hurriedly stood up, and by the way, put down the English magazine in his hand, although he could only read some of the illustrations in the advertisement. He greeted him attentively and slightly crampedly, "Master Hou." ”

"Keeping you waiting. Wan Guohou kept a smile and walked to Yu Jingbo's side unhurriedly. "I'm really sorry, I received a request from a few people in the morning. He affectionately put his hand on Yu Jingbo's shoulder, "But I think, how can I cancel my agreement with you because of this?" Without waiting for Yu Jingbo to answer, he turned around and said to Z2, who was standing at the door, "Go and prepare something to eat." After speaking, he turned his head again and asked Yu Jingbo, "Dean Yu, have you had lunch?"

"Of course. Yu Jingbo hurriedly said politely, "I came after lunch." ”

After a few pleasantries, the servant walked in with a tray. On the tray are several plates of afternoon tea snacks: long cakes, finger cakes, raspberry jam, sandwiches, scones. "This is smoked salmon from Devon. Wan Guohou pointed to the sandwich and said, "Please Dean Yu must try it." He pointed to the teapot again, "Ceylon tea, I don't know if it's to your taste." ”

Facing Wan Guohou's enthusiasm, Yu Jingbo was so excited that he didn't know what to do. "You can leave it alone, I'll do it myself. He said incoherently, "I'll definitely eat it." ”

Wan Guohou smiled slightly, "Then please ask Dean Yu to eat something first, I'll hurry up and meet a few guests, no problem, right?" Please rest assured, we won't talk for a long time, and we will never delay Dean Yu's time." ”

"You mean, talk in the study?" asked Yu Jingbo.

Wan Guohou smiled and nodded.

In an instant, Yu Jingbo felt that he was about to burst into tears, and he nodded solemnly, "So, is it okay for me to sit next to me?"

Wan Guohou made a gesture to signal him to be casual.

After a few seconds, Z2 knocked on the door and brought in a young man. The man is of medium height, wears a woolen vest and jeans, and holds a thick down jacket in his left hand and a laptop bag in his right hand. He was dark and energetic, and as soon as he entered, he looked curiously at the furnishings in the study.

Wan Guohou sat behind the desk and did not get up to greet him. Yu Jingbo sat on a circle chair far from the desk, he wanted to say hello, but because he was not sure of the identity of the visitor, he decided to remain silent.

“hi。 The young man said hello bluntly. “Firstly， thank you for your interview......”

"You can speak Chinese. Wan Guohou said lightly, "I understand." ”

The young man was surprised and delighted, "Your Mandarin is so good." He took a step forward and clinged to his desk, "I was introduced by Mr. Jin, my name is Le Yongzhi." He half-hunched his hand out, but Wan Guohou just nodded, "Tea or coffee?"

Le Yongzhi retracted his hand, took another step back, and then smiled dryly, "Coffee, thank you." So, I'll show you the information first. After speaking, without waiting for Wan Guohou to say, he hurriedly opened the computer bag and took out a stack of photocopied materials.

Yu Jingbo watched all this in amazement, and he guessed that the visitor was a college student who had just graduated, perhaps a graduate student, because the swarthy face was neither mature nor youthful. But why did the recent graduates come to Wan Guohou? He took a sip of tea curiously.

Le Yongzhi introduced it like a river. Yu Jingbo listened for a while before he realized that this guy was a butterfly fan! He established a butterfly protection organization to protect rare butterflies. After figuring out the identity of the other party, Yu Jingbo couldn't help but show a contemptuous smile.

"Knock knock knock. A servant knocked at the door and entered, and he skillfully placed the tray on a small round table, then poured his coffee, and bowed out.

"We Chinese love butterflies very much, in fact, in Chinese classical culture, the descriptions of butterflies, all kinds of allusions and imagery, are very beautiful. It is only due to the rapid development of industries in some places in recent years that the protection of the natural environment has been neglected, which has affected the fertility and habitat of butterflies to a certain extent. Le Yongzhi spoke eloquently, obviously, he had said this many times.

"I know Chinese love butterflies. Wan Guohou smiled and said, "Zhuang Shengxiao dreams of butterflies, he is too famous." ”

"You're a China expert. Le Yongzhi said happily, "Then you have probably heard of the golden-spotted beaked butterfly." ”

"I've heard of it. Wan Guohou touched his beard, "But shouldn't this butterfly be protected and studied by the officials of your country?"

"Definitely. Le Yongzhi straightened his waist, "but it is difficult for the official to do everything." That's why I started CBCA, China butterfly Conservation Association, with a group of like-minded friends. Don't underestimate us, although there are only more than 100 of us, we are all environmental supporters who love butterfly conservation. We have chosen this path, and we will continue to do so. ”

Wan Guohou was not moved by his impassioned speech, but leaned back in his chair, thoughtful. "Yesterday I read the electronic information you sent. He lifted his chin slightly, his expression serious, "It seems that this is a butterfly that is rarer than the giant panda." After speaking, Wan Guohou blinked, "Before this, you have already contacted several NGOs, right?

Le Yongzhi pursed his lips, as if to hide his emotions. Then, he replied in a low voice, "Yes." ”

"In this way, they don't agree with this CBCA you did?" Wan Guohou said in a calm tone, "Honestly, I don't think they lack love. Perhaps, they just can't agree with the commercial mode of operation you are proposing. ”

Le Yongzhi laughed, Wan Guohou's words made him feel that he had a good time. He pulled out a printed color photograph from the document he was holding, "Please look at it." He pointed to the magnified butterfly in the photo, "This beautiful green wings, this vivid golden patch, this slender and delicate tail protrusion, and this indescribable glittering scales - who can say that such a butterfly is not beautiful?"

Wan Guohou narrowed his eyes and played with the cufflinks.

"In 1923, after the golden-spotted beaked butterfly was named, it suddenly disappeared. In 1961, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications wanted to issue a set of stamps for China's precious butterflies, but it was impossible to find the specimen of the golden-spotted beaked butterfly to compare the design. It was not until 1980 that the golden-spotted beaked butterfly reappeared in Wuyi Mountain. Did you know that this is the first specimen of a golden-spotted beaked butterfly in our country. ”

"Oh. Wan Guohou said.

"Later, Chinese researchers found several golden-spotted beaked butterflies in the wild, but as I said, a few are far from enough for such a precious species. Le Yongzhi swallowed his saliva a little exaggeratedly, obviously, he had already spoken dryly.

"Coffee on that table, please. Wan Guohou said kindly.

Le Yongzhi walked to the table, picked up the coffee cup, and drank it directly without adding sugar or milk. I continued. He put down the cup and habitually rubbed his mouth with the back of his hand. Yu Jingbo couldn't help frowning when he saw this detail.

"This butterfly is beautiful and rare, and it would be a shame to let it go extinct!" Le Yongzhi walked to the chair where his computer bag was placed, "but I'm glad to see that you seem to like this beautiful little life too." ”

"Protecting animals is everyone's responsibility. Wan Guohou looked at Yu Jingbo with his spare eyes and secretly yawned. "I do love it. But with all due respect, from the information you gave, it is not clear that your CBCA has achieved any obvious achievements in protecting the golden-spotted beaked butterfly. ”

"Look at this, please. Le Yongzhi seemed to have made up his mind. He took out a wooden box from his computer bag, which was a little larger than the palm of his hand, and then held it in both hands, and placed the treasure on Wan Guohou's writing desk.

Wan Guohou opened the wooden box, which was embedded with a layer of glass, and under the glass, there was indeed a verdant and beautiful specimen of a golden-spotted beaked phoenix butterfly.

Le Yongzhi looked at Wan Guohou with a proud expression, he had been talking endlessly since he entered this luxurious room, and only then did he have the opportunity to sneak a glance at the huge bookcase against the wall. He had good eyesight, and at a glance he saw that the text printed on the spine was all-encompassing and multilingual. "I don't know if this guy really has ink in his stomach, or if he is pretending to be forced. He thought to himself, turned his head and saw the two tall bodyguards standing behind Wan Guohou, "I'm still afraid of death." He thought not without malice.

Wan Guohou quietly admired the butterfly for a while, and then asked, "You did this?"

"Yes or no. Le Yongzhi didn't see the expression of surprise on Wan Guohou's face, and couldn't help but be a little anxious. "This is raised by the workers hired by CBCA, from egg rearing to feathering, and giving it to you is a little bit of our heart. I assure you, you can't buy it when you're out there. ”

"I believe that. Wan Guohou smiled, "This is your country's first-class protected animal, it can't be traded, and of course it can't be bought." ”

"Yes. "But butterfly specimens like this, if you need them, I can provide them." ”

Wan Guohou's eyes widened in surprise, "You have a lot?"

"I have everything from eggs to butterflies, so much so that I can form an industrial chain. Le Yongzhi noticed the enthusiastic gaze of the man with glasses who had been silent in the room, and couldn't help but be even more excited, "You can send someone to me to have a look, and you will know that I am not talking big." ”

"How did you find so many eggs, don't you say it's a rare species?" Yu Jingbo couldn't hold back the question in his heart, and subconsciously asked. "If you have eggs, you have butterflies, and you catch butterflies and let them lay eggs?"

Yu Jingbo's layman's question made Le Yongzhi "snort" from his nose, "Our CBCA naturally has a way." ”

Wan Guohou lightly covered the box, "It's beautiful, but I can't ask for it." He spoke slowly, but unusually firmly, "Mr. Le, thank you for your kindness." ”

Le Yongzhi blinked his eyes several times, he didn't expect Wan Guohou to say such a thing, and he couldn't help but stutter. "Hou ...... Master Hou, this specimen is a female butterfly. ”

Wan Guohou smiled.

"Someone offered $200,000 and I didn't sell it. You also know that we need a lot of money to protect butterflies!" Le Yongzhi raised his voice excitedly, "As long as there is enough money to inject us, we can implement the plan in the information." We will establish natural habitats in suitable places for butterflies to grow, hire more workers to grow hosts for golden-spotted beaked butterflies, we can also contract the surrounding land to ensure that there is no messy real estate development that destroys the surrounding environment, and when the butterfly population stabilizes, we can also develop related merchandise products that can be sold around the world......"

"Sounds good. Wan Guohou said quietly, "But it is very difficult for non-profit organizations to operate commercially, how can you ensure that my donation can be used in the right place and realize its value?" He looked at Yu Jingbo, who immediately smiled. "This friend of mine is also working on PPP projects, and he has done a great job. Would you like to hear his thoughts on philanthropy?"

"No need. Le Yongzhi was very frustrated and immediately interrupted Wan Guohou. "Let me be blunt, Master Hou, what do you want me to provide to support CBCA's 'Butterfly Conservation Program'?"

As soon as Le Yongzhi spoke, K1 and Z2, who were standing behind Wan Guohou and standby, glanced at each other. They both knew that this guy had said the wrong thing.
