Chapter 896: Super Big Fish Pavilion
(Written as Miss Dyer, changed to Ms. Packard)
The visitor was the daughter of Mr. David Packard, the founder of Hewlett-Packard, Meg Packard. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
She studied marine biology at Stanford University, and the famous aquarium in Monterey Bay was built by her father for Meg.
This morning, Ms. Meg sent someone to visit the Gambo Sea Ranch and asked to meet Han Xuan at eleven o'clock.
Han Xuan didn't know why, and guessed that it might be because of the little white whale skin, or just a simple visit, so he agreed.
After taking care of the company's affairs, he went downstairs with Butler Erna to meet her......
Pooh and Chubby Guy lay lazily in the yard basking in the sun.
Two little fat men, stroking their bulging bellies at the same time, had eaten too much just now and needed to be massaged to eliminate food.
Probably feeling a little hot, Fat Ding got up and trotted a few steps and jumped into the pool.
With too much fat, even if you don't swim, you can float calmly on the water.
It suddenly realized that Pooh was coming!
The fat bear was standing on the shore and twisting his ass to warm up, and was about to dive, when Fat Ding suddenly showed a frightened look on his face!
The next second, it was as if a bomb had exploded in the pool, and the water splashed in all directions.
After a few seconds, the fat cat floated up from the bottom of the water, unable to spit out saliva......
They prefer to spend a leisurely time at the Gambo Marine Ranch rather than a day of running around, which is the life that animals should have.
Anya is helping Littlebar feed the bamboo.
The one-year-old panda, who went to the zoo yesterday to see his parents, had a new baby, and he didn't pay attention to Barry, which hurt him a lot.
So he turned his grief and anger into motivation, and his appetite increased greatly......
Outside the floor-to-ceiling window of the villa is Han Xuan's fishing ground.
The waves sparkle in the sun, and the Champagne Golden Snow Mountain, which is more than 30 meters long, is docked at the marina, gently rising and falling with the waves.
The world's largest three-colored glazed lion is placed on the edge of a cliff and seems to look out over the sea.
Nearby, a lush forest of giant sequoia trees shades the sky, and all but the U-shaped artificial bay is surrounded by flat green grass with small flowers blooming on it.
Elk and dwarf sheep occasionally come out of the woods and eat delicious young grass in the meadows......
The living room of the villa.
There was a thin woman in her forties and fifties, carrying a white Hermès leather bag in her hand, smiling at the scene around her.
She must be Ms. Meg Packard.
"I love this style of décor, you must introduce me to the designer who designed this villa, Han. ”
This noble lady with a trust fund of hundreds of millions of dollars noticed Han Xuan's figure coming down the stairs and said to him with a smile.
This time he came to Ganbao Ocean Ranch, and Han Xuan moved into this new villa by the sea.
After a few months of ventilation, the smell left behind by the renovation has dissipated, and since Pooh is willing to stay here, it means that people can live here.
Han Xuan jokingly replied, "I'll tell you his number later."
San Francisco SOM Architects, my family's buildings, also designed with the help of this company's designers, let me help you introduce it may be a little cheaper.
Hello, nice to meet you, Ms. Packard.
The weather is really nice today. ”
"yes, but the weather forecast says there may be thundershowers tonight......"
The two were very different in age, and strangers who had never met before finished greeting.
After Han Xuan invited her to sit down, he finally asked the question: "Come to me today, is there anything wrong?"
If it's to see Pippi, it's living well with me.
I had just seen it in the morning, and Pipsqueak should have gone outside to find something to eat at this time. ”
"I've heard from the aquarium staff about it, and I'm relieved to have you take care of it.
When Pippi was born, she almost died in childbirth, but now she seems to be back to health, and I gave her name. ”
Ms. Packard said with a smile.
She took the black tea from Erna butler, said thank you, put the teacup on the black table, and continued to speak to Han Xuan: "I'm here today for another matter.
For a long time to come, I will probably have to go to France with my husband Carter.
He got a job there, and I decided to go with him.
In the past few years, I have no energy to continue to manage the Monterey Bay Aquarium, and I heard that you have started an animal charity rescue foundation, and I plan to donate this aquarium to your foundation.
The profits from the sale of tickets, I hope you can use it enough to save marine animals, I went to see that documentary some time ago, and I felt that I should do something for them. ”
Han Xuan even thought about whether it was Mr. Packard Sr. who asked his daughter to discuss cooperation with him, but he didn't expect that she was here to donate the world-famous aquarium.
Since the opening of his Animal Charity Relief Foundation, he has received many donations from all over the world.
The largest of these came from Warren Buffett, from whom Han Xuan "extorted" a full $2,000,000.
And the Monterey Bay Aquarium, according to the current market value, is worth at least 30 million US dollars, which is not a small number anywhere.
Han Xuan asked her unconvinced, "Have you really thought about it?"
"Yes, wouldn't you want to accept it?"
"No, no, no!
Of course I would love to, I visited the Monterey Bay Aquarium with my friends last year and it was very beautiful.
Thank you for your support of my animal protection charity, and with the income from the aquarium's admissions, I believe that many marine animals can be saved.
I'm going to ask the staff of the Charity Foundation to come and talk to you about the details, and their headquarters is in my zoo, not far from here. ”
Encountering such a good thing, how could Han Xuan let it go in vain, seeing that Ms. Packard nodded in agreement, he asked Secretary Dawson to bring his mobile phone.
In front of her, I called a number......
"Every year, due to marine pollution, oil spills, fishing and other human causes, the living environment of many marine animals is destroyed, resulting in a sharp decline in their population.
However, aquatic life in the ocean is not the only one threatened, and the habitat of many freshwater fish is also under threat.
If you want, can you spend some of that money on protecting freshwater fish?"
Ms. Packard is a marine biologist, and although her father was in charge of half of the PC retail industry, she has not lived a comfortable life because of her family's power, but has devoted most of her life to marine conservation.
Han Xuan admired her, and while waiting for the staff of the charity foundation to come over, the two chatted, and he asked Ms. Packard.
Packard nodded without hesitation and asked, "What are your plans?"
"In the U.S., people rarely eat freshwater fish.
Elsewhere in the world, however, certain freshwater fish have become food for the locals, and they are caught for their economic value.
I've heard that in the Mekong River basin in India, for example, large fish such as giant catfish and giant freshwater stingrays were abundant in the past, but now there are less than 1,000 wild fish in the Mekong River basin.
I'm going to breed them in captivity, preferably to restore the wild population of these freshwater fish.
That's why I wanted to add a super freshwater fish aquarium to the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
At present, the number of collections in this aquarium is still too small, and after visitors enter, it will take less than 20 minutes to see them all.
In addition, it can also protect those big freshwater fish.
Even if they become extinct in the wild, they will at least be able to survive in captivity, as I did at the Snow Mountain Zoo......"
Ever since Ms. Packard was young, the Monterey Bay Aquarium had been managed by her as if she were her own child.
Finding that Han Xuan already had a mature concept, she relaxed a little and said, "Then do what you say, I promised......"
……
More than half an hour later, Han Xuan's Animal Charity Protection Foundation sent someone to negotiate some supervision rules with her, and Ms. Meg Packard signed her name on the transfer agreement.
The Monterey Bay Aquarium was officially transferred to the conservation fund.
At noon, Han Xuan left her at home for a simple lunch.
After that, people recently renovated and expanded the aquarium, and people paid attention to the news of super fish around the world.
As soon as you find a rare freshwater fish that have been caught and landed, you buy them...... (To be continued.) )
