Chapter 402: The Plan Falls Through
Han Qingyang and Han Qingyi stood aside and listened quietly to the greetings of a few people.
It was the first time they had heard that there had been a discovery of Chinese horseshoe crabs in Changshui Village, and at this moment, Han Qingyang still cared about the island, and all his attention was on the conversation of several people.
Although he did not grow up by the sea, Han Qingyi is a doctor after all, and he has also learned about the medical uses of the blood of the Chinese horseshoe crab species.
"The Provincial Institute of Zoology doesn't seem to have heard of an expert who specializes in the study of the Chinese horseshoe crab!" Han Qingyang suddenly spoke lightly.
Professor Lu instantly smiled wryly, and he was not angry Han Qingyang questioned his identity, "To tell you the truth, I originally studied the conservation of marine life, and only a few years ago I began to have in-depth contact with the Chinese horseshoe crab population. At present, the management regulations related to the protection of horseshoe crab in China still need to be improved, so people's attention to horseshoe crab is generally not high, and there are very few people engaged in research and conservation, and the research results and conservation methods are far from meeting the conservation needs of species. Therefore, in the entire Provincial Institute of Zoology, except for me, no one is studying Chinese horseshoe crabs, and it is normal that Mr. Han has not heard of it. ”
Han Qingyang nodded, looking thoughtful, "Then is there any significance in studying this species?" ”
"Very meaningful ......", it is related to his own major, Professor Lu is obviously very professional, and he talked endlessly.
However, his research direction is mainly the conservation and artificial breeding of Chinese horseshoe crabs, and he does not have a deep understanding of how to use it in medicine and what economic value it has.
However, the price of horseshoe crab blood has risen in recent years, resulting in a walk. Professor Lu had heard of the more rampant private activities, so between his words, he still expressed his concern about the current situation of the survival of Chinese horseshoe crabs in China.
Unlike foreign research institutions, most of the research results of professors in China are dedicated to transforming economic momentum, while this kind of research in China may be completely derailed from economic interests, so it is reasonable that Professor Lu does not know much about this aspect.
Han Qingyi knows his brother very well, and he can't say that he is the supremacy of money, because their Han family has never been short of money.
But he only enjoys the feeling of being in the mall and scolding Fang Xuan, and the measure of his success is the string of numbers on the company or bank slip.
Frankly speaking, the money that Han takes out every year for public welfare is not less than the profit of a small listed company for a year, and these are not counted as returns, but every investment that Han Qingyang does not make for charity is with the intention of making money.
To put it bluntly, this man has made making money his life's work.
Therefore, he knew very well what his brother meant by the research point, that is, to ask what economic value there would be in protecting the Chinese horseshoe crab, but Han Qingyi was embarrassed to tell his brother about the economic benefits of the Chinese horseshoe crab in front of an intellectual like Professor Lu, which might make Professor Lu think that his brother was a businessman who was full of copper stench!
It is true that Han Qingyang is indeed not such a person, when it comes to being a vassal and pretending, Han Qingyi thinks that he is still not as good as his brother.
However, it was not good to talk about this in front of Professor Lu at this moment, so Han Qingyi glanced at Han Qingyang and signaled that his brother should stop this topic.
It's not good for the two parties to talk here all the time, Professor Lu kept talking, and Gu Jingyun proposed, "Or, let's go to Moon Bay and sit for a while!" ”
You can also have a cup of tea and rest your feet.
Professor Lu waved his hand, looked up and saw that it was still early, then nodded to a few people and said goodbye, turned to Qin Cheng and said, "Officer Qin, while it's still early, let's turn around again!" I want to have a little more first-hand information, I heard that you said that there are often Chinese horseshoe crabs in the reef area ahead, let's go and have a look! ”
Qin Cheng nodded, and some villagers did report that sometimes when they were catching the sea, they would find this Chinese horseshoe crab in the reef area.
Qin Cheng and Professor Lu walked away slowly while talking, and turned around the reef area by the sea again, although they did not find the Chinese horseshoe crabs, they still found traces of their passing.
At this time, it was already difficult to see tourists around, Qin Cheng looked at Professor Lu, "Professor, you see, based on the current situation in our village, can we apply to be classified as a Chinese horseshoe crab reserve?" ”
Professor Lu shook his head and frowned, "The sample is too small, the observation time is too short, although the number of discoveries is considerable, but I don't know if it exists stably in this area, it is not enough to form favorable evidence that it is necessary to become a protected area, and the protection of this species is still in its early stages, I am not sure whether Zhengfu can establish a protected area for the Chinese horseshoe crab for the time being." ”
Qin Cheng said eagerly, "Then what should I do, what size of population can apply for the establishment of a protected area?" ”
Professor Lu thought for a moment, "It takes at least two years of stable data, and there is a certain scale, because I am not sure if the discovery of such a large-scale Chinese horseshoe crab in your village this year is an accidental time, if it is an accidental phenomenon, it is impossible to succeed at all." ”
Since the expedition team came to Changshui Village, the news that the smelter was coming has been very loud, and the people of the village committee are thinking about how to solve this trouble, how to dispel the above thoughts, and prevent the smelter from settling here.
The village committee's approach is to rely on the power of the masses to persuade nearby villages to oppose the above practices as Changshui Village, and if there is too much opposition, it is impossible for the county to ignore the feelings of the villagers and may be forced to stop the smelter project.
Yang Lao's solution is to ask his son for help and see if he can find someone in the provincial capital to help solve this trouble; And the way Qin Cheng thought of was Professor Lu.
Qin Cheng, as a college student who has just come out of society, his ideas are naturally different from those of the village chief, instead of solving the kind of enterprises that will come to Changshui Village to invest in the future one by one, he thinks about whether he can directly solve the problem that Changshui Village will be occupied by Zhengfu development in the future.
As more and more Chinese horseshoe crabs were found in the village, although the village chief strengthened the publicity of the villagers and asked everyone to pay attention to the protection of the Chinese horseshoe crab found on the seaside, he did not treat it as a bargaining chip or weapon to refuse the smelter to settle in Changshui Village, but Qincheng was different.
He has read books, his horizons are much broader than that of the village chief, and he has also learned about the cases of joint development of several biological reserves and scenic spots in China, so Qin Cheng believes that if Changshui Village is really classified as a Chinese horseshoe crab reserve, at least it is absolutely impossible for those polluting enterprises to settle in Changshui Village!
Moreover, if Changshui Village becomes a protected area for the protection and breeding of Chinese horseshoe crabs, then even if there is any development in the future, it will not cause great damage to the surrounding environment of Changshui Village, and will do its best to maintain the existing natural environment of Changshui Village.
Not only that, after Changshui Village becomes a protected area, the Chinese horseshoe crab reserve can also become a means for them to attract tourists, and the attracted funds can also be used for the conservation of Chinese horseshoe crabs, which is a way to get the best of both worlds for Changshui Village.
Qin Cheng thought about it for a long time in his heart, and he also relied on a lot of connections to contact Professor Lu, because there are too few people who study Chinese horseshoe crabs in China, so you can imagine how difficult it is for Qin Cheng to find Professor Lu, and he still owes a lot of favors for this.
But Qin Cheng felt that it was all worth it, and he came to Professor Lu in the hope of getting some support from him in the academic world.
But now, Professor Lu told him that it would take two years to determine whether Changshui Village could be listed as a protected area, and his heart suddenly cooled.
Can Changshui Village still have two years?
I'm afraid that after two years, the smelter has been started, and Changshui Village has been destroyed.
"So, is there no other way?" Qin Cheng's brows furrowed.
Professor Lu shook his head, "I'm afraid not, the domestic control of this aspect is still very strict, and there is not enough data to support and facts as a basis, it is too difficult to classify Changshui Village as a protected area." ”
Qin Cheng lowered his head and was silent for a long time, and finally looked up at Professor Lu, "Professor Lu, thank you, I'll think of a way again!" ”
Professor Lu also knows a little about Changshui Village, and to be honest, after looking around like this, he has a very good impression of this village, there is no large-scale development, the water quality is also very good, and it is a very suitable habitat for Chinese horseshoe crabs.
If Changshui Village really builds a smelter in the future, then he will also feel very heartbroken, then the Chinese horseshoe crab will definitely lose a very good natural habitat.
Professor Lu sighed lowly, but unfortunately, he was just an obscure figure in the research institute, and he didn't have much right to speak, and he couldn't help much.
Just because he has been studying Chinese horseshoe crabs in the research institute in recent years, he has also been quite excluded in it.
"You're welcome Officer Qin, I'm ashamed that I didn't help." Professor Lu patted Qin Cheng on the shoulder, "I will live in Changshui Village for a while, observe the living conditions of this population, and next year I will also come to track the data, if necessary, I will also come up with research opinions and papers to support you when Changshui Village applies to become a protected area in the future." Professor Lu said.
Qin Cheng said, "Okay, thank you", he could only think of other ways.
However, now that the situation has reached a very critical situation, Qin Cheng really doesn't know who he should go to to solve this trouble!
Here, after Qin Cheng and Professor Lu left, Han Qingyi briefly introduced the situation of the Chinese horseshoe crab to his brother, focusing on the role and economic value of the horseshoe crab blood.
The blood of sea horseshoe crabs has been studied to this day, and humans have found that the "horseshoe crab reagent" extracted from the blood of horseshoe crabs can accurately and quickly detect whether the internal tissues of the human body are diseased due to bacterial infection, and can also inhibit the growth of bacteria and slow down the proliferation of cancer cells; It is also used in the clinical diagnosis of diseases caused by gram-negative bacteria such as meningitis, cholera, plague, whooping cough, etc.
At the same time, in the pharmaceutical and food industries, it can also be used to monitor toxin pollution, and significant progress has been made in drug inspection, food hygiene, environmental monitoring, etc.
"So, the price of horseshoe crab blood in the international market is very high now."
In the end, Han Qingyi summed it up with this sentence.
Han Qingyang rubbed his chin, "So, if the Han family can invest in Professor Lu's research and build a laboratory here, can it bring us rich benefits in the future?" ”
"Now that the artificial breeding of Chinese horseshoe crabs in China has begun to bear fruit, I think it should be feasible to increase the yield of horseshoe crab blood by increasing the population." Han Qingyi said with a smile.
So, is his brother planning to enter the pharmaceutical industry again?
"Well, that's good." Han Qingyang nodded with great satisfaction.
Considering the situation, he was "trembling" on the side.
Mr. Han's momentum of turning his hands into clouds and covering his hands into rain, this feeling of throwing a pile of checks on your face is so fat!
Is it really rich and capricious?
Mr. Han said a few words, and there was another investment project in his heart.
Then, Gu Jingyun took Han Qingyang and Han Qingyi to the island.
In order to protect the many seabirds that inhabit the island, the number of people who can visit the island is now limited in the village, so there are few traces of industrial civilization here.
Because the village chief arranged for people to salvage garbage at the beach and offshore, the garbage such as foam and mineral water bottles that used to be seen on the island are gone.
According to the villagers, many seabirds have recently moved to the island, in addition to the common albatrosses, petrels, small frigate birds, puffins, egrets, seagulls, etc., there are also a pair of extremely precious Chinese crested terns.
Laying just over a dozen eggs in its lifetime, this seabird is extremely demanding on the environment, requiring a quiet habitat and clean, pollution-free air, and the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) lists it as critically endangered, with fewer than 100 individuals worldwide.
Because there are many reefs on the side of the island and the water is relatively shallow, the tourist boat cannot approach it at all, so several people can only take a speedboat to get there.
When a few people came to the north pier of the village, they saw the appearance of the two of them in suits and leather shoes, and the staff driving the speedboat were a little embarrassed, and they really hadn't seen anyone wearing a suit to play at the beach, so they suggested that they change into clothes that are convenient for movement.
However, because the two of them didn't expect to go to sea this time, or didn't expect to go to sea by speedboat, they didn't prepare extra clothes, so Gu Jingyun could only buy them two sets in the tourist goods store in the village.
In fact, you can also think clearly, most of the shops in the village are ordinary tourists, so they don't prepare any high-end sportswear.
The price is very low for Han Qingyang and Han Qingyi, which is very inappropriate for their net worth, and it is very unable to bring out the majesty and domineering of Mr. Han.
In particular, the icons of several sports brands printed on it will tell at a glance that this is a miscellaneous product.
Mr. Han took the clothes expressionlessly, as if he didn't care whether he was wearing rags or brocade clothes.
And Han Qingyi, touched the fabric, rubbed several marks printed on the clothes, raised his eyebrows and glanced at Gu Jingyun, didn't say anything, and went into the house to change clothes.
When the two of them came out, Gu Jingyun couldn't help but bend his eyebrows, he was used to seeing the two of them wearing suits with an ascetic and cold look, and then suddenly turned into such a casual and down-to-earth manner.
