Chapter 63: The Eve of the Expedition
Lin Ning felt that this Mauritian national gift was too bloody, and it must have a plan, and sure enough, Prime Minister Naveon Chandra told the hope of the people of Mauritius, Prime Minister Naveon Chandra said that the dodo is the national bird of Mauritius, and the Mauritian people have a deep affection for the dodo. He hoped that the Ming government would provide a pair of dodos to Mauritius to settle down.
Lin Ning had already guessed that Prime Minister Naveon Chandra was likely to bring up this matter, so he said in embarrassment: "Prime Minister Naveen Chandra, at present, the Ming Kingdom has not conducted a complete survey of the biological chain on the island, and there is no concept of the habitat range and population of the dodo, but it is certain that even in the Ming Empire, the dodo is a rare animal, but the Ming Empire will decide how to deal with it according to the results of the investigation after the investigation." ”
Prime Minister Navenchandra said: "The people of Mauritius will be grateful for the friendship of the Ming Kingdom, and President Rajekswar Priag means that if His Majesty the Emperor and the Ministry of Menxia agree, we will not ask for the national treasure of the Ming Kingdom in vain, and we are willing to pay for it." ”
Lin Ning wanted to repay the feelings of the people of Mauritius, the matter has risen to such a high level, this matter is not something I can say, there is also the province above, there is the prime minister after the province, the prime minister has passed and the emperor, as the secretary of state affairs, he can't agree immediately, if he agrees, then the country will definitely consider building a pair of dodos from his face, but he will become a traitor.
Lin Ning couldn't do this, Lin Ning said with a smile: "The matter is very important, just like the parliament of your country, our Ming Empire must also be a subordinate government, so let's do it, I will send the appeal to the province for consideration, but whether it can be passed, how to operate and implement it, depends on the results of the review." ”
Prime Minister Naveen Chandra and Minister for Foreign Affairs, International Trade and Regional Cooperation Alvin Blair decided to stay at the Yingzhou Garden Hotel for a long time until the approval of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Lin Ning really didn't dare to make a decision, the only valuable creatures in the Ming Kingdom known to the biological atlas were Eurasian mink, saber-toothed leopard, dodo, red panda, Yingzhou chinchilla, white-sided dolphin, Yingzhou pika, the most precious are only saber-toothed leopards and dodos, and the number of saber-toothed leopards is estimated to be only a few dozen, in addition to these two, other creatures are also all over the world.
It's like kangaroos and koalas in Australia, giant pandas in China, they are all unique, and it is not unique to give you a dodo in Naming country of Mauritius, but it may still be possible to rent you two.
Lin Ning came directly to the prime minister's office, and Song Ximo had already studied with Zhu Wei that the dodo could not be gifted, sold or leased to any country, region or individual in any form for the time being. In the future, I am learning about the habits and artificial breeding of dodos, but now Mauritius is very sincere, and I will give a turtle to it, considering the friendship between the two countries, Ming Guo has no way not to consider breaking the previous convention.
So in the end, Ming Guo and Mauritius reached an agreement to lease a pair of blue-gray dodos to Mauritius at a friendly price of 2 million US dollars a year, for a 30-year lease period, and Mauritius paid a one-time rent of 60 million US dollars. If the dodo falls ill during this period, it will be transported back to Daming for treatment, and in the event of death, Mauritius will pay the difference according to the life expectancy of each dodo of 50-60 years.
This price has far exceeded the price of $1 million a year for giant pandas, and it is no longer a loss for Ming Guo. At the same time, the Ming Empire gave back a pair of Yingzhou pikas from Mauritius, which is also good, this Yingzhou pika is a species with the Ili pika, which is also an endangered animal, the number is rarer than the tortoise, and it can be more cute than your big tortoise.
Prime Minister Naveon Chandra lived up to his trust and stayed in Ming for two days, and after completing some diplomatic work, he returned to his country, and Mauritius will send transport helicopters to Ming to bring the dodos back home.
Zhu Wei couldn't be idle, so he quickly found a biologist on the island to investigate the number of dodos, and as soon as this precedent was opened, it was difficult to guarantee that all countries in the world would come to rent dodos, and Zhu Wei had to have a number in his heart.
And the tortoises landed on the island, Zhu Wei couldn't let them run around the island, temporarily mobilized workers, built a yard, locked the elephants in the yard, and arranged people to feed them, it seems that Mingguo also has to build a zoo, this matter will be handed over to Song Ximo, they have just earned 90 million US dollars in rent, and they can build a zoo integrating wildlife breeding and sightseeing.
Zhu Wei took this opportunity to post the saber-toothed leopard together, so the photos of the saber-toothed leopard Xiaohei and the three children were officially posted on the Internet, but this time it was released by the official media of Mingguo, and it was directly posted on the official account of Mingguo on Huaxia Langxin's Weibo and Facebook.
So just after the dodo became popular, the saber-toothed leopard once again attracted the attention of netizens all over the world, especially Xiao Hei's three children, among whom there was a white female leopard, elegant and proud, snow-white and beautiful, and was named the princess of the saber-toothed leopard by netizens from all over the world.
Netizens all over the world hope to travel to Mingguo and see the dodo and saber-toothed leopard with their own eyes, and many netizens can't help but start complaining that Mingguo's airport is too slow to repair, Mingguo's transportation is inconvenient, and so on.
Although Zhu Wei knows some about these things on the Internet, he doesn't have the energy to care about these things at all, but the discovery of the white-sided dolphin incident through the British photographer also aroused Zhu Wei's idea of wanting to visit the island again, the last time he explored the volcanic cone was only half explored, and Zhu Wei still knew too little about the island, so this time the route was to continue the last route, explore all the bottom of the volcanic cone, and then go down the mountain from the north of the volcanic cone, bypass the volcanic cone to the Dong'an County area, and finally return to the Dongdu from Dong'an County.
The night before departure, at the Yingzhou Garden Hotel, Zhu Wei and Yuan Shi, Liu Yun, and Xu Jingyao were ready to spend a pleasant night together. Many foreign guests have stayed here.
In the garden on the top floor of the Garden Hotel, friends listened to the sound of the waves of the sea while admiring the night sky, Liu Yun and Xu Jingyao had a loud voice, they didn't know that Zhu Wei was the emperor of the island, and Zhu Wei didn't want them to know now that in the eyes of the two of them, Zhu Wei was still an explosive household with hundreds of millions of dollars.
But even so, Zhu Wei can feel that Xu Jingyao wants to get close to herself, intentionally or unintentionally, Liu Yun is different, she is still like her in high school, introverted and quiet, and it seems that she can never figure out her inner thoughts.
But what is certain is that Liu Xiaocheng called her, she never answered, and Zhu Wei didn't know what Liu Xiaocheng had provoked her, but it was okay, if Liu Xiaocheng knew that she was on Yingzhou Island, I am afraid that she would have to follow her to the island again.
Yuan Shi took a glass of wine, walked to Zhu Wei's side, and said, "What's wrong with you?" Zhu Wei smiled slightly and didn't reply, Zhu Wei can now understand why the emperor claims to be a widow, Yuan Shi asked, "Is it because of Tang Xinyan?" ”
Zhu Wei nodded, and Yuan Shi continued: "I know you are serious, you are not a person who can be depressed for the future, for the sake of your family, and for your career, except for feelings." ”
Yuan Shi is indeed one of the few people in the world who knows Zhu Wei, he thinks that Zhu Wei is already the richest man in the world and one of the most powerful people in the world, maybe the president of the United States is not as rich as Zhu Wei, Zhu Wei is more successful than many people in the world, why can't he make himself happy? This is his outlook on life and his logic, but it does not apply to Zhu Wei.
He has a complete and warm home, and there will be no lack of father's love and mother's love since he was a child, while Zhu Wei's family has been incomplete since he was a child, he has a grandfather who breaks his father all his life, and a father who has an unspeakable secret, even this will not touch Zhu Wei's heart.
returned to the Zhu family not because Zhu Wei forgave them, but because Zhu Wei was numb, and he looked at feelings very indifferently, there was no love, let alone hatred, but Zhu Wei was still a flesh-and-blood person, Zhu Wei hoped to have a home of his own, this home was not a villa in Songhai, nor a palace in the Ming Kingdom, but a woman, her name was Tang Xinyan.
"Drink, don't talk about this" Zhu Wei took a sip of wine, and on the table, Xu Jingyao was personally dismantling a big lobster, and the scene was ridiculous.
Yuan Shi said: "OK, you are the emperor, you have the final say, as long as you can feel a little better in your heart." ”
At this time, Liu Yun walked over and said with a smile: "What are you talking about?" "The breeze on the top floor of the hotel blows her hair, which makes it even more beautiful.
Yuan Shi said: "He's out of love, let's think of a way to comfort him." ”
Zhu Wei kicked him with a smile: "What nonsense" He is still him, the person who has played with Zhu Wei in college for several years, even if Zhu Wei is the emperor, he still can't change his state of joking.
"Broken love?" Liu Yun was a little surprised, Zhu Wei has indeed been single, and no classmates know Zhu Wei's emotional state, this is the first time they have known, that is, they have fallen out of love.
Zhu Wei squinted his eyes and glanced at Yuan Shi, warning him not to talk nonsense again. Yuan Shi really received the signal, and he also felt that something was wrong, so he simply closed his mouth and turned around to pick up lobsters with Xu Jingyao.
"It's just kidding, I'm not in love, how can I fall out of love." Zhu Wei smiled, staring at Liu Yun's eyes, she heard Zhu Wei's words, there seemed to be some brilliance in her eyes, she said faintly: "Actually, you are a good boy, I believe that there are many good girls who like you,"
"Maybe, why is the eldest husband without a wife, and the emotional matter will be talked about later." Zhu Wei set his sights on the cruise ships in the bay, with the end of the fair, more than 100,000 people returned home after spending the money in their pockets, more than 50 cruise ships have already left, and the remaining ones are also brightly lit.
Liu Yun stood beside Zhu Wei and stood side by side with Zhu Wei, and said, "If you have anything unhappy, you can always tell me, I can be your loyal listener." ”
Zhu Wei's heart was warmed by her words, and at this time, Xu Jingyao's voice came from behind: "Don't talk about you, I will eat all the lobsters alone in a while." ”
