Chapter 750 Panda Slave
However, even if Wu Bingjian made such a hard donation, the Wu family has never taken off the hat of 'traitor', especially in the later period, all his wealth was directly confiscated. Today, it is understandable that the Chinese people do not know.
In the final analysis, the country must be strong, and if the country is not strong, no matter how rich and rich a person is, then there will be no personal dignity and peace. Just like in China now, rich people go everywhere and invest boldly all over the world, and the reason why they dare to do this is because there is a powerful country standing behind them.
Xiao Peng looked at the rhino horn cup in his hand, and said happily: "If you can really be sure that this is Wu Bingjian's rhino horn cup, you will really make a fortune this time." β
"Really?" asked with a grin, "If it was really his rhino horn cup, would you sell him?"
"Of course not!" Xiao Peng's head shook like a rattle: "Such a big rhino horn cup, drinking beer must be very good." Ya Li, help me get a bottle of beer, I'll have a drink to cool it first! Old man Jin Yong said in "Smiling Proud Jianghu", this 'you need to know that the jade cup increases the color of wine, and the rhino horn cup increases the fragrance of wine, and the ancients are honest and do not deceive me'. Let me also feel what the taste of this old man Jin is. β
"I'll feel it in a moment!"
"And me, and me!"

There was a good conversation outside, and there was a good conversation in the bedroom.
In fact, Mignolet and Carrasco had already changed their clothes and were chatting quietly there.
"Something seems wrong, my dear. Carrasco said to Yumi's brother Mignolet.
Mignolet is there to sort out Carrasco's pair, Xiao Peng's clothes are a bit small for both of them, after all, both of them are above 185, and Xiao Peng's clothes are tailor-made, fortunately, thermal underwear and the like are elastic, and Xiao Peng's long loose coat has become a tight-fitting outfit on the two of them, and they can be worn on, but they need to be tidied up.
Hearing Carrasco say this, Mignolet tilted his head and asked, "Honey, what's wrong?"
Carrasco looked left and right, "Your sister said they played all the way back from Gaul, right?"
Mignolet nodded, "Is there anything wrong with that?"
Carrasco said, "Didn't you notice that there is only one bed in this RV?"
Mignolet was stunned: "Is there a bed over there in the cab?"
Carrasco shook his head: "I observed this place when I got on the bus, and only this shrink car is a bedroom. β
"Is it at night that you take turns sleeping, and someone drives at night?" asked Mignolet, frowning.
Carrasco looked at him, "Do you think that's likely?"
Mignolet took a breath and heard the laughter of the people in front of her, "It can't be what you think, is it? β
Carrasco smiled bitterly: "I also hope Yumi will not be so confused, God, if that's the case, what is the origin of that Huaxia man?"
Mignolet shook his head and said, "How do I know? I only know two things now, first, he is very good, and second, he is quite rich. β
"How do you know he's rich?" Carrasco asked, puzzled.
Mignolet pointed to himself, and then to Carrasco's body: "All the clothes are Prada, you see here, there is a big coat hanging here, I don't know what kind of leather it is, it looks a bit like a bearskin, but the bearskin is not this color." You see, there is also Prada's logo in this big picture, can anyone who can afford to wear such clothes be poor?"
When Carrasco heard this, his face suddenly changed: "God, this is not made of panda skin, is he?
Mignolet's face also turned ugly after hearing this: "No, anyway, we have to ask to find out, whether it's my sister or the source of this fur!"
Carrasco nodded, picked up the case, and the two opened the door and walked out.
Xiao Peng and the others are still taking turns using the rhino horn cup to drink beer, and now the rhinoceros horn carving is a symbol of status and status, and there are also about its peculiar medicinal effects.
The "Compendium of Materia Medica" records the various effects of rhino horn, including detoxification and fever reduction, etc., since ancient times, rhino horn, bezoar and musk are Chinese relief medicines, which are said to have miraculous effects on some fever diseases.
At a time when many people associate the endangerment of the Asian rhinoceros with the use of rhino horn in traditional Chinese medicine, Xiao Peng believes that the extinction of the rhinoceros has more to do with the collecting community.
If you want to say that Asian rhino horn has no medicinal effect, Xiao Peng has to say two sentences, what is Chinese medicine for? Chinese people have relied on this thing to cure diseases and save people for thousands of years, if it is really ineffective and has been passed down by mistake for thousands of years? That is thousands of years of Chinese medicine through practice to prove again and again, Western medicine likes to use data to speak, Chinese medicine likes to use experience to speak, if there is no medicinal effect, this medicine will not be handed down.
Some people also say that whether it is rhinoceros horn, buffalo horn or human nails, they are keratin and do not have any medicinal effect, so Tong Ren Tang has been full and has replaced their famous 'Angong Niuhuang Pill' from rhinoceros horn to buffalo horn? This can only show that both buffalo horn and rhinoceros horn have medicinal value, but rhino horn is better.
But no matter whether this Asian rhinoceros horn is really effective or not, it is necessary to protect the rhinoceros, and there is no killing without trading, but unfortunately the Asian rhinoceros is more precious than the panda now, otherwise Xiao Peng really went to get a few and take them back to raise!
Seeing that the faces of the two Mignolet were not very good, Xiao Peng was a little strange. I didn't offend them, did I? How can I help them get rid of their crimes?
"Brother, come here, the medicine box is ready for you, now rub some medicine for you. Yumi said.
Mignolet nodded with a gloomy face after hearing this, making everyone confused, what is the situation? Why did these two suddenly have such expressions?
Mignolet wanted to ask Xiao Peng what was going on with him and his sister, but what came out of his mouth was: "Xiao, for God's sake, you must tell me honestly! Is that leather coat you have in the bedroom made of panda skin?"
Carrasco asked, "The pandas are so cute, how can you do it?"
Xiao Peng and the others glanced at each other and sneered: "Please, how can it be a panda skin?" It is made of polar bear skin, and it was purchased from the Maple Leaf Country through legal channels, and the source is from the Maple Leaf Country's annual quota for hunting polar bears. Well, I know I'm wrong, I shouldn't have bought fur products, there was no killing without buying and selling, but believe me, I really didn't buy it, someone else gave it to me. What's the problem? Are you animal protectors?"
Listening to Xiao Peng's answer, Mignolet and Carrasco breathed a sigh of relief at the same time: "It's good if it's not a panda, it's good if it's not a panda." "My face looks much better.
Xiao Peng watched the expressions of the two of them change, and asked You Mei in a low voice, "Has your brother always been so weird? Didn't he tell us what happened today? Why did he worry about the panda first?"
You Mei laughed: "Xiao, you are from Huaxia, how can you say it in your Huaxia dialect? 'You don't know happiness in the midst of happiness'? Yes, yes, that's it, you can't imagine what this panda means to us, Belgium almost fought because of pandas back then." If Huaxia wants to conquer the world, it can use pandas directly without guns and ammunition. β
Xiao Peng was puzzled and asked, "What's going on?"
Yumi didn't answer, but Mignolet shouted first: "Those French-speaking bastards, they can't raise pandas themselves, why do they? Those bastards in Antwerp! I won't go to them again in my life!"
Carrasco pouted, "But how many times have we been to Wallonia for those treasures?" β
Looking at Xiao Peng's puzzled eyes, You Mei explained to him the ins and outs of the matter, and after listening to Xiao Peng's feelings, he could only use the title of the Belgian "Evening News" at that time to describe the most appropriate ------ "The Panda That Caused Discord".
In other words, Belgium is not big, but it is Huaxia's sixth largest trading partner in Europe, with this relationship, they are very happy to go to Huaxia to lease two pandas and bring them back, for which how many unequal treaties have been signed, not to mention, after the pandas are brought back, where to put the pandas, which caused an uproar, and the Dutch-speaking and French-speaking areas fought again.
Belgians are sometimes really weird, and there was once a French-speaking person who was prosecuted for scolding a Dutch-speaking person in French, on the grounds that he couldn't understand the swearingγγγγγγ In such a strange country, it's not surprising that two places have a war of words for any reason, let alone a cute panda?
In the end, the Antwerp Zoo, Belgium's oldest and most famous zoo in the Dutch-speaking region, lost to the Paradise Zoo in the French-speaking region------ which is only a few decades old. And they have plenty of reasons to criticize the Antwerp Zoo: You've had a pair of pandas!
This caused an uproar, and the whole country was about to break its head. The hero who finally brought the two pandas back, Elio, who was the prime minister of Belgium at the time, originally wanted to pursue re-election, but undoubtedly failed to return home------ the entire Dutch-speaking community regarded him as an enemy, until today, the residents of the Dutch-speaking community still abuse him non-stop, and the biggest reason for all this is because of the pair of fat pandas.
In other words, pandas have really made a great contribution to the development of China.
In the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China, China was poor and backward, with poor families and white families, and had to face the economic and technological blockade of various countries in the world, and there were almost no materials.
So from the early days of the founding of the People's Republic of China to 1988, Huaxia gave a total of 24 pandas to nine countries. However, the twenty-four pandas sent out at that time were all 'ominous years of death' in the end. (Of course, the most awesome is still the Magic Capital Safari Park in China, which has raised six pandas in the past ten years, and the big magic capital is the most awesome!)
At that time, the country saw that this kind of irresponsible panda diplomacy was not advisable, so it changed to a research and lease system, and if you want a panda, you can pay a million dollars a year in rent, and then take the opportunity to sign some trade agreements, scientific and technological resources, or something.
In order to rent pandas, Scotland directly signed trade agreements with Huaxia, including salmon, alternative energy technologies, automobiles, etc., with a total value of more than 25 billion yuan!
In order to lease the pandas, Gaul directly supplied uranium oxide to China, which is an important resource for extracting nuclear energy raw materials! Belgium also came up with a series of real money trade agreements in exchange for renting pandas.
The key is that renting this panda is really renting an ancestor, and the annual basic cost of raising can easily exceed one million US dollars, not including expenses such as hiring breeders and panda health care. That's not a lot of money!
What's more, this is just a loan! When it expires, it will be returned to Huaxia, and the baby born during the loan period will have to be returned to Huaxia when it reaches a certain age! Belgium will not be able to give birth to a 'Tianbao,' and in the end it will be returned to Huaxia with a lot of distress; when 'Meilun' and 'Meihuan,' who were born in the Stars and Stripes Country, were sent back to China, the entire Stars and Stripes Country unanimously discussed the possibility of giving Trump to Huaxia and leaving the panda behind.
Well, Trump, you better keep it, and we don't want it.
But even so, every year, countless countries come to Huaxia to rent pandas! The status of pandas in foreign countries is beyond people's imagination! In order to introduce pandas, the Netherlands directly spent 7 million euros to build a Chinese-style palace! It is not an exaggeration, it is really a palace! It covers an area of more than 9,000 square meters! There is a main hall, a side hall, a green space, and pavilions.
When Gaul introduced giant pandas, they directly sent a special plane to pick them up, and the police car opened the road to return to China, and the people welcomed ------ well, this is the standard configuration for panda adults to travel, and almost all pandas go abroad with this treatment.
But when it comes to Gallic pandas, we have to talk about poor Chambord Castle.
Chambord Castle is a landmark building in Gaul, a world heritage site, one of the best castles in Europe, designed by Leonardo da Vinci himself! It turned out to be a very famous tourist attraction in Gaul, and the good thing is that the Beauval Zoo, where the Gallic giant panda is located, is right next to this Chambord Castle, so it γγγγγγ No one has gone to Chambord Castle! Tourists have gone to see the pandas!
Toronto and Calgary, the Maple Leaf Country, fought for five years for the ownership of pandas, and finally got the right to raise pandas from the Toronto Zoo this year, and the local people have gone crazy. The beating of gongs and drums celebrates this 'historic moment'.
In order to take good care of the pandas, Li Jiapo built a panda garden, not to mention, imported fresh masters from Sichuan every once in a while, and Li Jiapo people, who are usually honest to the point of picking the door, are not distressed at all when they raise pandas.
Of course, the craziest thing is the Eagle Country, uh, Scotland to be exact, and England has no pandas. At the Scottish independence referendum that year, the English people said that this panda is for the Eagle Country, and if you want to leave, the panda will belong to England. Now the Scots are angry: "You can take away our freedom, but you can't take away our pandas!" and the Eagle Country BBC ran to the panda documentary filmed in China, and at the end of the show, the heroine shouted into the camera: "We are really not greedy, please! Just give us one!"
Even in 2014, when the giant panda 'Tiantian' was due to give birth, civil aircraft had to change their routes, and the sky above and around Edinburgh Zoo directly became a 'forbidden area', and all planes had to avoid the zoo during the 'daily delivery'!
Of course, the most awesome thing to talk about is Belgium. People directly asked Chinese designers to design and build a serious 'Suzhou Garden' as a panda pavilion!
Anyway, in the eyes of Mignolet, the status of this panda is really higher than that of his sister. Poor Yumiγγγγγγγ
