Chapter 53: The King of Pets
Johnson crossed his legs, took a sip of coffee, pondered for a moment, and said: "I suggest that your selection target should be over thirty-five years old, rich in social experience, and preferably have successful experience in practical operation of large projects. ”
"Keen on charity, the minimum condition is also caring, and children are preferred......"
"Low-key and relatable, after all, I have to deal with orphans in the future, they are too sensitive......"
"If it's a woman, it's even better!"
Zhang Wei recorded the request and asked, "Then what do you think about the annual salary?"
Johnson smiled slightly, put down the coffee, and said lightly: "As long as you can do things, the annual salary is as you like!"
Zhang Wei took a deep breath, you are really a local tyrant, your smile is getting brighter and brighter, the more customers of this kind, the better. Sort out all the information, print the contract, and display: "As long as the contract is signed, we will officially file your project and guarantee the completion of the task within two months!"
After reading the contract, SC Johnson is worthy of being one of the top five in the world, with an advance payment of at least $100,000. Calculated for this project, the fund manager and the chief financial officer are fully 150,000 US dollars.
It doesn't matter, you get what you pay for, and you don't have to worry about it. Sign and swipe the card, leave the phone, Zhang Wei is the person in charge of the project, and after the audition and interview, three candidates are promoted, so that Johnson can make the final decision.
Headhunters can not only accurately locate the right candidates, but more importantly, ensure their reputation. Candidates must not only be able to excel, but also have a strict selection of character.
In the future, once there is a problem of professional ethics, it will inevitably be included in the blacklist of the entire industry, which is a catastrophe for senior talents.
This is the fundamental reason why the boss is willing to entrust a headhunting consultant with real money to poach people and spend a lot of money to buy insurance.
Get the contract, leave the CBD, and head straight to the suburbs. Yesterday, after receiving an invitation from Yu Qian to go around his zoo, Johnson decided to go for a walk.
It is rumored on the Internet that Yu Qian loves to raise pets and has his own zoo, called Tianjing Dihua. In the vicinity of Daxing, it covers an area of 60 acres, which is a relatively large scale of a private zoo.
After contact, it was found that Brother Qian was low-key and had no other hobbies. Unlike the three hobbies that Lao Guo said all day long, smoking, drinking, and perming his head!
Boss Guo teased each other a lot on the stage, and I heard that there are dozens of animals. The most famous are ponies, pure-blooded ponies, at least a hundred thousand each. There are also a few Tibetan mastiffs, although they are not truly purebred, but they are also rare things.
And what parrots, pigeons, rabbits, goldfish, chrysanthemums, orchids and so on. The garden took Yu Qian a lot of effort and energy, and he likes to stay in it when he has nothing to do.
Usually the most proud is the garden, inviting friends to play at every turn, and some people even leave small pets there for fostering.
Drive for an hour to Tianjing Dihua, get off the car and go inside, the garden is very large, enter the door is a huge goldfish pond, there are hundreds of goldfish in it, colorful, dazzling and colorful.
Yu Qian came by ferry, pulled Johnson to the goldfish pond, and introduced: "My brother is here for the first time, to see the goldfish we raise, the traditional dragon species and egg species raised by the real old pit mud." ”
Speaking of pets, Yu Qian was full of red light, and pulled Johnson's mouth like a river. What goldfish are divided into four varieties of dragon grass eggs, really good goldfish are to be raised in the old mud pit, and the variety has strict requirements. Johnson looked at a large pool of goldfish of different colors, swimming leisurely, very pleasantly.
"Let's go, let's go around. ”
Everyone got on the bus, Yu Qian personally acted as a tour guide, and introduced the road all the way, because friends often came to visit, and after a long time, the business became more and more familiar.
"The garden is mainly divided into two parts, one is the animals, there are horses, dogs, birds, rabbits, etc., and the other is the plants, chrysanthemums, moons, peonies. Everything, it's just a play. ”
Johnson asked curiously: "This garden is not small, how many people usually manage it?"
"Hey, it's only more than 30 people, in fact, there are only a few gardeners for plants, which saves trouble. The main thing is that horses and dogs are more crowded and expensive. ”
Yu Qian said with a smile: "My brother has no other hobbies, all the money he has earned in the past few years has been thrown here, by the way, there is also literary play, and he is born like this." ”
When it comes to yard planning, Yu Qian is very interested in talking about everything, basically everything is designed by himself, and the long-term residents have a green peacock, more than 10 cats, more than 30 dogs, more than 50 horses, more than 100 pigeons, and more than 2,000 goldfish.
In order to make the animals comfortable, a cattery, a row of kennels, two pigeon sheds, twenty stables, several greenhouses, and a dozen breeders were employed.
The more Yu Qian spoke, the happier he became, and his friends were the happiest when they came to visit the garden. Although he only had a one-sided relationship with Johnson, he chatted speculatively and affectionately: "It's still early, my brother is easy to come and see the birds first, and then go to see the dogs later." ”
It's rare for the host to be so gracious, and Johnson plans to take a good look. As soon as I arrived at the door of the aviary, I saw a glass macaw with royal blue and bright yellow, standing on the bird's nest with its neck crooked.
"Hello...... Hello ......"
As soon as he walked in the door, the parrot flapped its wings and shouted, "Welcome!"
Everyone laughed, and Yu Qian said proudly: "This guy usually has someone to tease him, and he always yells when he says goodbye, and he usually teaches him a lot, and he can't learn anything else!"
In the greenhouse behind the parrot, there are two South American squirrel monkeys with yellow bodies and white faces, big ears and round eyes, hooking small trees and swinging around.
There were all kinds of birds in the cage, Yu Qian recalled: "When I was in the first grade of primary school, I occasionally passed by the bird market, and the colorful and different birds directly made me unable to walk. The child is full of curiosity, and the dead beggar pesters people to ask for names, ask prices, talk about varieties, and talk about habits. ”
"That day I heard for the first time about the yellow finch, the thrush, the lark, the red child, and the indigo...... When I returned home, I found a wooden box for mailing, removed the top cover, nailed it with barbed wire, put two branches in the box, and found two bottle caps as water cans, and the homemade birdcage was completed. ”
"The next day I went to the market again, with the five cents I had saved in my hand, and I was very ambitious, and I saw that every bird looked like mine. But only after careful questioning can I know that the price difference of the same variety is very large, and the body shape, coat color, standing posture, call, etc., are all related to money. ”
"The little money I have is enough to buy a few wild birds. After repeated consultations and comparisons, I bought two pink eyes, and if I got a treasure, I went home with my hands in hand. ”
Speaking of when he was a child, Yu Qian was full of enjoyment, and he really liked it, and Johnson was also attracted by colorful birds and studied it curiously.
"The process of playing with birds is actually a process of learning art, you have to make friends with your heart, and humbly ask people for advice on how to tame birds. ”
"There are also a lot of experiences similar to those encountered in the process of crosstalk learning and art, which can only be understood and indescribed, and they can be experienced and carefully observed. ”
"During that time, the work was not busy, the cross talk was at a low ebb, there were very few performances, except for the roll call every Monday and Thursday, a lot of free time soaked in the bird market all day long, and the old people who played with birds mixed up. ”
"Since then, many people have said that I am a young man, a plaything that is demoralized, a cage and a bird, and a young man, and a young master, and a ...... of the Qing Dynasty."
Yu Qian recalled his childhood and sighed: "Ride a bicycle to the bird market all day long. Water hyacinth is tied to the handlebar, bird cages are hung on the girders, and bird food cans are carried in my pockets, and people who don't know still think I'm a bird dealer. ”
"After two or three years of mixing, the method of taming birds has basically passed. The raw birds in my hands will not be in their hands for less than two weeks, eating flying food, calling Dayuan, opening boxes, gossiping, holding colorful flags, and playing flying missiles, and they can pick up everything. ”
"You can also earn some pocket money, buy a bird for three or five cents, and tame it for a few days and be bought by someone you like for ten or eight yuan, and you can't sell it. In the circle, I am also a little qualified to judge and make irresponsible remarks, and I am called a senior. ”
Take two steps forward and walk to the red brick pigeon loft, which in addition to the old capital ornamental pigeons, there are also building pigeons. They are the nurses of ornamental pigeons, which have been artificially cultured, have short beaks and large noses, and cannot feed their young pigeons.
Raising pigeons can solve this problem, replacing the eggs of the pigeons with the eggs of the pigeons, so that the pigeons can raise the small ornamental pigeons. In fact, it is quite a test of pigeon breeding skills, and it is necessary to make sure that both pigeons lay eggs at the same time in order to do something from it.
Yu Qian said confidently: "The bodyguards who live in the lower layer of the pigeon loft are these big white geese, they are sharp weapons for treating rats and weasels, which are the secrets I have summarized." ”
After half an hour, Yu Qian has a set of birds, and the people of Beijing like pigeons. Even the old man Wang Shixiang, who is known as the first player, also loves to raise pigeons, and has published a special pigeon spectrum.
There was a dog barking from the west side of the farm, it seemed that the kennel was over there, the kennel was not very large, a few workers were busy, and there were more than a dozen large cages.
Yu Qian pointed to a white bull terrier, with a black circle under his left eye, and when he saw him from afar, he stood up, rubbing back and forth across the railing, like a child coquettish.
"It's called Zuo Zuo, the breed belongs to the pirate eye, it's a fighting dog, it's been raised for several years, and it's the most humane. ”
Walking inside, Yu Qian instructed in a low voice: "There are a few Tibetan mastiffs inside, recognize the owner, see it, don't touch it with your hands!"
Johnson nodded, he had heard of the Tibetan mastiff a long time ago, it was not a pet dog, it was born with a arrogant and fiery personality, and it only recognized one owner for the rest of its life. No matter who it is, others will bite when they are in a hurry.
Strong as an ox, roaring like a lion, both rigid and soft, can drive away jackals, tigers and leopards. It is rumored that an adult Tibetan mastiff can defeat three evil wolves, and can make the golden leopard bow down, and is known as a tengu.
Yu Qian walked in front of a large cage, there was a red-haired Tibetan mastiff, squatted down directly, touched the fierce mastiff head with his hand, and introduced: "Mastiffs must be raised from a young age, and it is best to start contact with them from birth." Animals have a peculiarity, as soon as the puppy opens its eyes, it sees the first person it is closest to. ”
"After a few months of feeding, you will not recognize people. When you get older, even if it follows you, it's not sincere. ”
Seeing that Johnson looked at it curiously, he raised his mastiff head and explained: "Tibetan mastiffs have a set of strict standards, not all dogs are called mastiffs. The head is large and square, the forehead is wide, the eyes are black and yellow, the mouth is short and thick, the corners of the mouth are slightly heavy, the snout is short and the nose is wide, and the tongue is large and the lips are thick. ”
"Resistant to cold and heat, I can still sleep peacefully in the ice and snow of minus thirty or forty degrees Celsius. And has a high IQ, strong judgment, amazing memory, can give early warning of earthquakes, avalanches, etc., and is full of strong hostility to strangers, but bows down to the owner, and is an excellent dog breed to protect the territory. ”
Johnson through the cage, a low roar sounded in his ears, and he really got close to the Tibetan mastiff to feel its majesty, and the aura of the beast came to his face, shocking people's hearts.
Yu Qian showed and explained from various details, and finally stood up, but said regretfully: "This red mastiff can also be regarded as the past, and it was bought from Tibet at a high price, and it has been raised until now." ”
"At present, the best mastiffs are all in the Tibetan meander. The mastiff has the primitive features of a typical Himalayan mountain dog, with a dense mane like that of an African male lion, a broad chest, and a fierce gaze that is subtle and deep. ”
"There is also a Tibetan mastiff from the Qinghai region, which has almost no mane, shorter hair on its body, and is larger. The Tibetan mastiff with no mane is fierce and calm, and it is difficult to find a good character. ”
