Fang Mingyuan remembered that in his previous life, he had seen that the South China tigers bred in China could not grow healthily due to inbreeding, and some even had deformities. And even when they grow into adults, they are significantly smaller than the wild South China tigers they have been harvested before, and their physique has declined, and they have a higher chance of getting sick.

Wang Yugang glanced at Fang Mingyuan with some surprise, he didn't expect that this young man actually knew about the degradation of the tiger species. "We also took this into account, so from the very beginning, we numbered the eight Siberian tigers and kept detailed records of the parents of each newborn Siberian tiger, so as to avoid the decline of genetic diversity caused by inbreeding. Due to the short time so far, the Siberian tigers raised in the center can also ensure that the occurrence of close relatives can be avoided. In the long run, if we can catch new wild Siberian tigers, it would be the best, but if not, we want to work with the Soviets to introduce wild Siberian tigers from there and improve the tiger species. But now it seems that we probably don't have the funds to implement this jihua. ”

Fang Mingyuan nodded, it seems that this Director Wang Yugang Wang is still quite thoughtful about all aspects of the future development of the center, except for the lack of funds.

He is right, theoretically speaking, as long as the Heihe Daozi Feline Breeding and Breeding Center persists in the most difficult days in recent years, it can initially achieve the goal of raising tigers with tigers. You must know that in China, traditional Chinese medicine has always had a tradition of using many parts of the tiger's body for medical treatment, among which tiger bones are the most. Products such as tiger bone pills, tiger bone paste, tiger bone glue, and tiger bone wine were once popular all over the world. At most, there are two or three hundred enterprises in China that produce products related to tiger bones, with an average annual use of thousands of kilograms of tiger bones, and an annual output value of more than 100 million yuan.

But...... I'm afraid he doesn't know, in a few years, before the center can produce benefits, this seemingly perfect industrial chain will collapse overnight. What awaits them in the future is a painful torment that will not end for more than ten years, until Fang Ming is far away from the world. At that time, the country was under pressure from the international community to completely ban the trade in tiger products, and at the same time removed tiger bones from the Chinese Pharmacopoeia. Fang Mingyuan remembered that this incident should have happened in the mid-nineties. As a result, tiger farming has become an industry that is purely invested and does not see returns.

Wang Yugang and Li Guangcheng exchanged glances, and after a period of conversation, both of them noticed that the young man in front of them was extraordinary. It wasn't how luxurious his clothes were, or how impressive his knowledge was, but the temperament of a superior who seemed to be in control, which made the two of them feel as if they were talking to the officials in the province. And the two of them also saw that the four tables on the second floor, nearly ten people, seemed to be all together. And everyone else, who looked like the young man's subordinates. How expensive the dishes in this western restaurant are, the two of them who gritted their back molars to invite guests know it, and this one, even his subordinates, also brought it up to eat, how much does it cost!

"According to ecologists, in an ecosystem, the higher the biodiversity, the richer the species, the more stable the system; Conversely, the more fragile the system becomes, the more vulnerable it is to catastrophic changes. Therefore, not only the Siberian tiger, but any species in this ecosystem has its own role in regulating and regulating the ecological balance and species balance. As a creature at the top of the food chain, the importance of tigers is self-evident. Moreover, animals have genes that are very good in a certain aspect, and may be able to be used by humans in the future, if this species is extinct, these genes will naturally not be able to be found again, which is an immeasurable loss. Moreover, as the largest and most powerful Siberian tiger in the existing tiger species, it also has great value in China's culture, and there are often descriptions of tigers in ancient literature, ancient paintings and poems in China. I can't imagine what it would be like if a child asked Wu Song to fight a tiger and what kind of animal a tiger was, but I could only point to the cat, which was a ferocious carnivore hundreds of times larger than it. Wang Yugang continued. The crowd fell silent.

It can only be said that this is a kind of sadness, just like now people can only hold portraits and fossils to imagine the elephant bird that was once the largest bird in Shijie. The elephant bird, also known as the Elephant Bird, lives mainly in the forests of Madagascar, Africa, the fourth largest island in Shijie. "Takashi" means "bird that rises high". It is much taller than the largest bird in Shijie - the ostrich, which is the largest bird in the first place. Its eggs are also much larger than ostrich eggs. The number of birds has always been small. By the 17th century, the inhabitants of Madagascar had increased more than ten times as many as before, and they accelerated the exploitation of nature and the plundering of natural resources. 8. Large areas of forest were cut down and turned into domestic fields, leaving the birds homeless and many of them dying as a result. The year 1649 was the year in which the local residents were able to hunt the birds of the Takayu. Since then, humans have never found any traces of the bird, and its title as the largest bird in Shijie has been given to the ostrich due to human interference.

"Director Wang, how much is a dead tiger worth on the market now?" Although he had also heard about the prices of some tiger products in his previous life, Fang Mingyuan still wanted to confirm it from Wang Yugang.

"This thing, to be precise, is now priceless. At least there is no open market. Wang Yugang hesitated for a moment and said, "Judging from the price abroad, the size of a tiger skin is possible from 100,000 to 200,000 yuan, tiger bones are 1,000 yuan a kilogram, tiger claws are 7,000 or 8,000 yuan a kilogram, and fresh tiger meat has been offered to me for 3,000 yuan a kilogram." ”

Fang Mingyuan calculated in his heart, how could an adult Siberian tiger weigh more than two hundred kilograms, even if some of it was useless, its value would be close to one million yuan, would those poachers dare to take risks.

"Isn't it true that these tigers in your center are worth nearly 100 million yuan now?" Lin Lian was also taken aback.

Li Guangcheng sighed and said: "It's worth nearly 100 million yuan, and it can't be spent." Tigers are national first-class protected animals, even if they are bred by us, they cannot be slaughtered casually, let alone sold to the outside world. There is money on the books, but if you can't cash it out, it's useless! Now that the tigers are about to go hungry, the employees of the center are also counting on receiving some money to prepare for New Year's Day, but on this account, alas, ......"

The five of them were silent, Fang Mingyuan could understand the depression in the hearts of the two of them, this has made achievements, but it has become a burden. The staff of the breeding center are also human beings, they also have families, parents, wives and children, and they have to run for a living, but now not only can they not get the government's rewards, but they can't even get the wages they deserve. And as the leaders of the center, they must not have a good time.

It's just that this kind of animal protection work is not a money-fighting business, it should have been invested by the state, but Fang Mingyuan also understands that this kind of expenditure without political performance, the domestic officials and gentlemen will definitely not care, and if they want to allocate more money from hand, it is better to count on Grande to make a kind donation. Unless it is said that the Heihe Daozi Feline Breeding and Breeding Center has received continuous attention from the central government or the provincial boss, this problem is not expected to meet the financial needs of the center in recent years.

Fang Mingyuan recalled the information about the breeding of Siberian tigers in his previous life, and his fingers subconsciously tapped on the table. Help is to help, in the previous life he was just a half-otaku with no power, no money and no power, for the wild Siberian tigers are endangered, breeding Siberian tigers frequently starve to death, is powerless, now he is already rich, naturally for the Siberian tiger to reproduce the force.

It's not that Fang Mingyuan can't donate hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to the center, but the Heihe Daozi Feline Breeding and Breeding Center can't always survive on losses. And as the number of tigers increases, the funding gap will get bigger and bigger. Although no matter how big it is, with Fang Mingyuan's current net worth, as long as a part of his annual income is set aside, it is enough to fill this gap, but this is not a long-term solution after all. It is better to teach a man to fish than to teach him to fish!

Wang Yugang and Li Guangcheng secretly glanced at each other, it seems that there is a door, this young man of unknown origin may be able to help him solve some difficulties. This is the lost corner, the harvest of mulberry elm, I originally thought that the money spent here was wasted, but I didn't expect to meet nobles.

"Director Wang, Section Chief Li, have you ever thought that with the current number of tigers in your center, you can build a tiger park in this ice city, open to tourists, for tourists to watch tigers up close, I think, this is still quite attractive to many people."

"A close-up look at the tigers? What's the way to get close?" Wang Yugang asked curiously. The tigers in the zoo are either in the Tiger Mountain, where tourists condescend to watch, or in cages, through iron fences, which is not far away.

"The two of you have seen the animal shijie, and it was mentioned that in many countries in Africa, there are large areas of wildlife sanctuaries. Visitors can also be guided into the reserve to see wildlife such as giraffes, bison, and even lions. It's just that unlike in a zoo, people sit in a car and look at the animals that can move freely outside the car. The two sides are separated only by a layer of glass windows with barbed wire and a body made of iron sheets. Fang Mingyuan seemed to be casual and authentic. There are updates to the latest chapters in a timely manner
