Joseph poured a sip of whiskey, choked and coughed, he slammed the bottle on the table, and said, "Qin, you see, it's just such a thing, how can you make me not angry, what face do I have." ”

Qin Yan nodded, looking at him sympathetically, but still unmoved, who knows if what he said is true or false, although the gray parrot is smart, can it be smart to this extent?

He had never seen a gray parrot before, but he had seen an Alexander parrot, with green feathers and a red ring of feathers around its neck, like a red scarf hanging from it, and a curved little red beak, which was very beautiful.

The same parrot, people's ability to speak is very poor, a total of a few words, at most "hello", "hello", "eat", a few simple words, but also need to be encouraged by the owner to say, otherwise will not say at all.

The gap between the two is also too big.

Even if there is a little possibility, he can't go over, he can't be provoked, and if he provokes, it will be contagious. If he added a father-daughter mess, he wouldn't dare to provoke such a chaotic relationship.

Gerard explained on the side, "Joseph is telling the truth, since he bought this parrot three years ago, I don't know how many times he has been tricked by it, and he is usually very good at talking, which is quite cute."

Once it is upset, don't say such things, dare to say anything, otherwise Joseph will not see it angry like that. ”

"Yes, I don't dare to ask for it, this time it's you, I don't know who it is next time, again and again, who else do I know, I lose face. A few months ago I borrowed a grey parrot from someone else and paired it with Billy XIII to lay a few eggs, and the baby parrots were all born, or we would have gone and checked. ”

"Okay. Qin Yan hadn't seen the little parrot yet, so he agreed to come down.

Several people followed Joseph to a room, and placed a blue box on the table, which was still transparent to the side of the door, and the small parrot inside could be seen.

Qin Yan took a look, there were a total of five little parrots, and their fur had almost grown, and he could vaguely see the demeanor of the gray parrot after it became an adult.

"What a cute parrot, how could you think of borrowing a parrot to lay eggs and hatch a baby parrot to cultivate. ”

"What's the solution, I'm not here to stay...... Leaving behind the genes of Billy XIII. Well, I'll leave you one if you like it. ”

Qin Yan's heart moved slightly, he thought for a moment and shook his head, and said, "Forget it, I'm not sure to bring the parrot back." ”

The grey parrot is a rare bird and is listed on the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species – Endangered and scarce.

It is also a species in Appendix I of the HSD Convention, the full name of the HSD Convention is the Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora, and the animals and plants in Appendix I are equivalent to national first-class protected animals.

Needless to say, the giant panda, golden monkey, and Siberian tiger are all first-class protected animals.

Of course, gray parrots don't have that much protection, and many people have fed, and this kind of thing pays attention to the people and does not hold officials accountable, as long as no one reports it, there is no problem.

Even if it is reported, if you raise one or two, there is no big problem, at most the parrots will be confiscated, and the owner will evaluate and educate, and there will be no fines.

But it is also equivalent to a national first-class protected animal, and it is strange that it can be transported from Australia to China, thousands of miles, and after the customs of the two countries, it can be transported over.

Gerald interjected next to him. "What is this, I can help you. ”

Qin Yan was overjoyed. "Thank you, Professor, I wonder what name you shipped here?"

"It's not me, it's you. ”

"Me, what's my business?"

Qin Yan thought that he was going to use academic research as an excuse to transport him to the Suzhou and Hangzhou Zoo and let him pick him up, but he didn't seem to be in his tone.

"Of course, I will send a request to the Siberian Tiger Breeding and Conservation Base in the name of XN University, and the gray parrot will be received by the Siberian Tiger Breeding and Conservation Base and then handed over to you. ”

"No, I don't have much to do with the base, so why would you help me?"

Gerald looked at him deeply and said, "Looks like you don't know what you're capable of. With your ability, you wouldn't think it's only worth 100,000 RMB, right?"

Isn't that enough?

Qin Yan didn't know how to answer, the Siberian Tiger Breeding and Conservation Base hired him as a visiting professor at a cost of 100,000 yuan a year, and he didn't have to do anything, as long as he put a name there, and if he needed help with something, he would be paid another reward, which was a pie in the sky, and he almost didn't stun him, I almost couldn't believe it.

How do you listen to what he means, it seems that people give less.

Joseph interjected and said from the side, "100,000 is too little, I can also hire you as the chief veterinarian of Joseph's Ranch at the same price of 100,000, and you don't have to do anything, as long as you have something to do, you can come over, including food and accommodation, reimbursement of round-trip travel expenses, and there is another reward for work, remember, this is Australian dollars, not RMB." Of course, the premise is that you can cure this mad cow disease. ”

Qin Yan was dumbfounded, how could he let him do all the good things.

100,000 Australian dollars, converted into RMB is 500,000, he doesn't have to do anything every year, as long as he promises him, he can get such a high income every year, he really can't believe it.

And it is also a reimbursement of round-trip travel expenses, including food and accommodation, flying to Australia every year, coming to this grassy farm and ranch, where is this work, coming to travel is almost the same, or public money tourism, not spending him a penny, the conditions are too tempting.

As for curing mad cow disease, that's a matter of duty, you always have to prove your ability, if you don't have that ability, who will pay such a high price to hire.

It wasn't until this moment that he knew why Hou Xinyuan would say that he was just taking the lead in order to hire him at a lower price. It's only been a long time, less than a month, and Joseph said that he would hire him at five times the price, so it can be seen that his value is much higher than 100,000, and Hou Xinyuan has indeed taken advantage.

In this case, it is not easy to let him help transport a gray parrot, the Siberian tiger breeding and conservation base, so many fierce beasts from all over the world, are transported from abroad to China, all kinds of checkpoint obstacles, people have long been very proficient, no cost.

This has another advantage, the Suhang Zoo is too far away from his home, if it is sent in the name of the Suhang Zoo, he must go there to pick up the airport, and then run thousands of kilometers home, it is too difficult. The Siberian tiger breeding and conservation base is relatively close to home, but only hundreds of miles, and it is best to receive it there.

Qin Yan understood and said, "Okay, I'll call Hou Xinyuan and ask him for help." ”

"Which one do you want, tell me first, and I'll keep it for you. ”

Qin Yan directly opened the Sky Observation Pupil, looked at the few gray parrots inside, pointed to one of them and said, "I want this, I look good about this." ”

"Good. Joseph agreed very happily, how did he know that this one Qin Yan was referring to was the one with the highest potential, which was a cut higher than the potential of several other parrots, and it was right to choose it.
