My Bei Hai Zoo - Chapter 140
At noon.
Xiang Qian accompanied Zhou Qian’s parents to dine at the hotel.
during this process.
Zhou Guowen still had a serious face, and naturally sat with Qian’s face in danger without squinting.
He was obviously guilty.
After all, the identity of the old man is too scary.
To know.
Prisons are not part of the public security system, but are of the nature of an agency, which is led by the judicial department.
Although Xiang Qian was not afraid of the shadow, he was still worried that Zhou Guowen would see through his disguise.
therefore…
At the dinner table, Xiang Qian appeared very cautious.
Don’t dare to speak any more.
I’m afraid that the old man will find something tricky. Fortunately, the four of them didn’t communicate too much during the meal.
This can be seen.
Zhou Qian’s family pays attention to “don’t speak food and sleep” is the traditional Chinese family education style.
…
Tea time after lunch.
Wu Xiulan took her daughter to talk, Zhou Guowen didn’t pay attention to Qian, and picked up a newspaper to check it.
That is today’s Beihai Morning News.
Xiang Qian was embarrassed, so he picked up a morning paper and glanced at it.
[The 2020 FCI World Homing Pigeon Championships will be held as scheduled. Next week, there will be more than two hundred fanciers in the Guangxi Division. It is expected that there will be more than 1,000 pigeons…]
“World Pigeon Championships?”
Xiang Qian was taken aback, and a large-scale report appeared on the front page.
There is also a ranking list of last year’s global pigeon worth:
No. 1. Miracle number. Transaction price: 22 million RMB
Second place. Armando. Transaction price: 9.6 million yuan
No. 3. Golden Sun. Transaction price: 5 million RMB
…
The worth of the top ten homing pigeons.
There is a minimum of three million yuan, and his eyes widened at Qian.
Damn it!
Homing pigeons are so valuable?
Zhou Guowen noticed Xiang Qian’s expression and suddenly asked:
“Why, are you interested in carrier pigeons?”
“It feels very fresh.”
Smiled to Qian, he is actually interested in money.
To know.
In the pigeon house of Beihai Zoo, there are more than 100 pigeons.
That is one of grandpa’s legacy.
At this moment, Zhou Guowen took the initiative to speak.
Xiang Qian instantly understood that the old man had a hobby in this area, so he asked:
“Uncle, have you raised homing pigeons?”
“Previously raised.”
Zhou Guowen nodded, and a smile appeared on his face.
This opportunity…
Xiangqian will naturally not let go, and quickly flattered:
“Great! I don’t know anything about pigeons, can you tell me?”
Faced with a curiosity young man.
It just so happens that homing pigeons is his once hobby, Zhou Guowen couldn’t help but said:
“Carrier pigeons symbolize the transmission of information and peace, and represent hope. No matter where they are, as long as they miss their hometown, they will return far away…”
Following the old man’s speech.
Xiang Qian gradually learned a lot about homing pigeons, and also learned that Zhou Guowen had raised more than forty homing pigeons.
Basically they are bought with money.
Each feather is worth several thousand, but later because of limited energy, this hobby was given up.
Zhou Qian glanced at Xiang Qian and his father and found that they were chatting enthusiastically.
I finally breathed a sigh of relief.
Afternoon tea…
Xiang Qian and Lao Zhangren talked about the World Pigeon Championships, and soon learned the rules of the competition from Zhou Guowen.
simply put.
The competition is divided into levels, first of which are semi-open warm-up matches, qualifiers, and finals.
Three games in one.
From this to determine the champion of each province? Then conduct a national open competition.
Finally, the top three in the country…
Representing China in the International One Loft Competition.
To determine the world champion in this way is more complicated than Qian imagined.
To know.
All racing pigeons will wear ankle rings, and each pigeon has an independent number and electronic signal.
The race course starts from 100 kilometers.
The ultimate event in the international one loft.
The flight route is more than one thousand kilometers? And must fly to the destination within 24 hours.
This also makes the death rate of racing pigeons in the flight extremely high. After all, there are many risk factors such as extreme weather, predators, and man-made hunting.
Of course, as long as you arrive at your destination? Whether or not you compete for the championship.
Those pigeons are called:
Thousand Miles Pigeon!
After the game, its worth will make ordinary people dumbfounded.
“I’m going? Something to do.”
Xiang Qian was very excited, after all, he had recently awakened the ability to possess.
It just so happens that the zoo also raises pigeons.
even though.
None of them are homing pigeons, and none of them even have a pedigree certificate.
But it doesn’t mean that Xiang Qian can’t win? After all, the ability to possess is too bad.
Just possess the pigeon…
It can be remotely controlled like an arm.
game?
That’s not as simple as sprinkling water.
Xiangqian was tempted in an instant? Especially when I saw the championship prize in Guangxi Division was as high as one million.
This is still a provincial competition.
What about the national champion?
Even…
world champion!
The saliva almost flowed out to the money? There was finally a way to solve the funding problem of the zoo.
After all, it only depends on regular projects.
It is difficult for Beihai Zoo to rise quickly to earn enough development funds.
And the pigeon championship? undoubtedly gave him hope.
of course…
Xiang Qian still thinks too simple!
But when I saw it? The old man sighed:
“China was the first nation to raise homing pigeons with a history and culture of three thousand years. Later, European pigeon breeders all introduced powder gray pigeons to our country and used them for hybridization…”
Probably it is.
In international competitions, our country’s carrier pigeons are almost unknown.
It is not a matter of breeding technology or training.
It’s the variety!
Many European countries are willing to pay for animal research.
and so…
Homing pigeons have been nurtured for generations? Many excellent breeds have naturally emerged.
“For example, nocturnal pigeon? This is a kind of homing pigeon with night vision ability? Even in the absence of any visible light, it can still come home at night.”
“Although there are very few people in China? Through long-term special training, they occasionally train nocturnal pigeons, but compared with real nocturnal pigeons, there is still a certain gap.”
Zhou Guowen sighed and said, Xiang Qian has gained insights in an instant!
It seems…
What I think is a bit simple.
Possession is not omnipotent, just like a bicycle, even with GPS navigation.
Riding speed.
Still no better than motor vehicles.
180km warm-up race
300km qualifier
500km final
Three games in one
…
Look at the event information in the newspaper.
Xiang Qian didn’t get discouraged, but instead seemed excited.
Next week?
He can’t guarantee that he will be ranked in the international competition.
But Guangxi Division…
It may not be impossible to fight.
…
Talk about carrier pigeons.
Xiang Qian had a very happy conversation with Lao Zhangren.
at the same time.
Zhou Guowen also changed his views on Xiang Qian and couldn’t help but nod his head and comment:
“Xiao Xiang, you are very good!”
Most young people nowadays are impatient and can listen to their knowledge about pigeons without getting bored.
This attitude is still very good.
“Uncle, praise!”
Smiling at Qian, Zhou Guowen invited:
“If you have time in the future, go to my place more.”
“This one…”
Xiang Qian’s face changed, would he go to your prison to go to jail?
Forget it.
Fortunately, Zhou Qian smiled and said:
“Dad, don’t scare him!”
With that said, Zhou Qian took her parents’ hand and said:
“Dad and Mom, shall we go to the movies together this afternoon?”
“Just go with Xiao Xiang. My father and I want to rest in the hotel, and we will go to the scenic spot tomorrow.”
Wu Xiulan shook her head and smiled.
Obviously, this is creating a private space for Xiang Qian and Zhou Qian.
watch movie…
Xiang Qian couldn’t laugh or cry, and promised Ding Mengyang and Buman to watch a movie before leaving.
Now add another Zhou Qian.
Over… Over…
It’s going to be cold this afternoon!
…
[PS: First! Pigeon racing? Look forward to it, there should be many surprises.]
