"A'Jing, Why did this Mr. Xue asks you to look at the dolphin?" s.h.i.+ Qing asked, whispering near Su Jing's ear.
"There is a dolphin who refuse to eat and refuse to obey. He asked me to see what's wrong with it." Su Jing laughed.
"Don't they have veterinarians and trainers for that? Why do they want to let you see it?" s.h.i.+ Qing felt a little strange, but she suddenly realized that Su Jing had somehow become a high-level Beast Tamer and curiously glanced at Su Jing.
"Here we are." Xue Zhonghong opened a door and took Su Jing and s.h.i.+ Qing into a huge swimming pool. There were a few trainers on the sh.o.r.e that were directing a few dolphins in the swimming pool so that they do various movements, various training. However, a dolphin hides in a corner and refuses to move at the command of the trainer.
"Brother Xue."
"Brother Xue, you are here."
The trainers apparently respected Xue Zhonghong and greeted him one after another.
Seeing Su Jing and s.h.i.+ Qing, there is a little doubt on their faces, because this is the place where dolphins are trained. Generally, no outsiders are allowed to come in, let alone disturb them while they are training.
"Brother Xue, come take a look, Little Chong is still not willing to eat and refuse to obey." The melon face trainer said bitterly.
"Let this Mr. Su see." Xue Zhonghong said.
"Him?" The melon-faced female trainer glimpsed and the other trainers also looked at Su Jing with surprise and thought they had got it wrong.
"Brother Xue, you said you want to ask a skilled trainer, that's him?" The melon face trainer was shocked. Yesterday, she heard Xue Zhonghong say that he had met a very skilled trainer, they all admired him. After all, Xue Zhonghong is respected in this department. Can it be simple for him to admire such a person? But is he really admire this young man?
"Little Mei, please step aside." Xue Zhonghong did not explain much.
"Oh." Gu Mei, doubtful as she was, resigned obediently.
"Little guy, what's wrong with you?" Su Jing walked up and down and saw a dolphin more than three meters long hiding in the corner of the pool, a sullen look on its face and did not respond to Su Jing's words.
"Can you help stabilize it?" Su Jing turned to Gu Mei.
"All right." When Gu Mei heard Su Jing's request for help, instead of belittling Su Jing's level, she appreciated him a little more. No matter how skilled a trainer, he had to have a process of familiarizing himself with animals. It would be extremely unwise to ignore the cooperation of the former trainer. Gu Mei reached out to hold the dolphin's head and stroked it gently.
Su Jing slowly approached and reached out to touch the dolphin. The dolphin looked weak and did not resist. Su Jing put his hand under the water and secretly put a needle on it and let a drop of blood drip on the Thousand Beasts Tablet.
"I'm in pain. I want to die." A tender voice came into Su Jing's ear.
"What's wrong with you? Are there any discomforts?" Su Jing was shocked by the tender voice. It seemed that the dolphin was not so reluctant to not simply eat, but it had the tendency to commit suicide.
"Every time we perform, everyone is too noisy." The dolphin looked around and wondered why he could talk to Su Jing.
"Too noisy?" Su Jing was stunned. After thinking about it, he realized that, in fact, he had heard before that the dolphins had far more hearing sense than humans, so applause and cheers were loud noises for them. Some dolphins could bear them, but others could not. Xue Zhonghong once said that this dolphin was particularly smart and popular and that he was the most enthusiastic to cheer. The audience was welcoming but they did not know that it was a torture for dolphins.
In fact, there has been a lot of controversy about whether dolphins should be kept in captivity. Many people think that dolphins have high IQs second only to human beings. They have human-like emotions and should not be kept in captivity. Humans do not fully understand dolphins. Many self-righteous behaviors of human beings actually cause various kinds of harm to dolphins. Dolphin suicides in captivity have occurred more than once.
This reminds Su Jing of a legendary figure, Richard O'Barry. Since 1960, Richard O'Barry has been a world-renowned dolphin trainer. He is well known for his movies and TV productions such as "Dolphin Tale" and "Flipper". He can be said to be the synonym of dolphin training and dolphin performance. His dolphin performance program has enabled a whole generation of American children. When asked what they wanted to do when they grow up, They did not hesitate to answer "marine biologist".
However, just as he became famous, the Water Clan Pavilion and dolphin show around the world flourished, he chose to destroy the entertainment industry he had built himself. The reason is that one day after O'Barry traveled back from India, one of the dolphins in Flipper, Casey and O'Barry's favorite dolphin swam into O'Barry's arms, took a breath, automatically closed his nostrils and committed suicide in his arms.
It shocked O'Barry, who suddenly felt that capturing dolphins and training were so foolish and absurd that he vowed to devote all his life to preserving the dolphin's right to life. He founded the Dolphin Project and launched the Release of Artificially Raised Dolphins Campaign. He spent 10 years as a dolphin trainer, but 40 years in the conservation against dolphin training. To this end, O'Barry has been arrested all over the world for infringing on other people's private property to release dolphins.
"Your name is Little Chong, right?" Su Jing stroked the dolphin's head and said that he would not be as extreme as...o...b..rry. In fact, dolphins still enjoy contact with humans. Moreover, the understanding and protection of dolphins in captivity also play a very important role, which has both advantages and disadvantages as they can't be hunted in captivity.
"Yes." The dolphins nodded.
"I'll keep everyone quiet in the future. Would that make you happy?" Su Jing said.
"You really can keep everyone quiet?" The dolphin's voice is full of surprises. Perhaps the biggest pain before it is that humans do not understand it.
"I promise you, if they make any more noise, I'll take you to the sea."
"Thank you." The dolphin cried and crowned his hand with his head. Although the dolphin is intelligent, it is also relative to animals and human beings. It can only be regarded as a child. Naturally, he didn't even think whether Su Jing is deceiving him or not.
Xue Zhonghong's eyes brightened and Gu Mei's eyes widened as they saw the dolphin reacted this way. Other trainers gathered around him and looked surprised. s.h.i.+ Qing also opened her eyes and looked curiously.
"I heard you swim very fast, shall we compete?" Su Jing s.h.i.+fted the subject.
"You can't compete with me." The dolphins looked a little disdainful.
"Oh? Are you afraid you can't swim faster than me? Su Jing smiled.
"I am not afraid." The dolphins screamed, it was like a child and it was easy to provoke.
"One, two, three, start." Su Jing jumped into the pool and swam forward quickly. The dolphin started a little later, but its galloping system generally surpa.s.sed Su Jing and then it swam back and forth quickly to catch up with Su Jing, who had not yet been able to swim a third of the length of the pool. It was inevitable to lose to dolphins.
"You swim so slowly." This time, the dolphins did not leave Su Jing far behind, intentionally keeping in front of Su Jing, and there was a joke in their eyes. He also intentionally flicked his tail and spilled water on Su Jing's face.
"Stop it." Su Jing suddenly jumped on the dolphin, and the dolphin, like a child, played with Su Jing.
Looking at this scene, Xue Zhonghong, Gu Mei, s.h.i.+ Qing and other trainers on the sh.o.r.e were completely dumbfounded.
s.h.i.+ Qing was so dumbfounded as she did not expect taming dolphins as simple as that.
Xue Zhonghong, Gu Mei, and others fully admire Su Jing from a professional perspective. Xue Zhonghong admits that he has acquired certain accomplishments in training dolphins. He used to be quite proud but now he feels weak at this moment.
Su Jing rode on the dolphin and swam back under the startled eyes of the crowd. The dolphin's head came out of the water and arched Gu Mei's feet lovingly. It apparently liked Gu Mei very much. It was just depressed before.
"Little Chong, hehe." Gu Mei held the dolphin in his arms and wept with joy.
"Mr. Su, can you talk to the dolphins?" Xue Zhonghong himself is an expert, but at the moment he asked a very amateur and strange question because he didn't see Su Jing do anything, he just talked to the dolphin and the dolphin came out of his depression, he could not understand it at all.
"Oh, how can I talk to dolphins? In fact, I just guessed the reason why Little Chong was depressed and won Little Chong's favor. Maybe that's the intuition that animals have." Su Jing's explanation is ambiguous.
"What is the cause of Little Chong depression?" Gu Mei asked.
"Because the applause and cheers of the audience are too noisy," Su Jing said and Little Chong nodded in agreement and screamed.
"That's what happened." Xue Zhonghong and Gu Mei were stunned, and Xue Zhonghong thought, "I also know that dolphins are sensitive to sound, but I didn't expect cheers and applause to make them depressed."
"Mr. Xue, Little Chong is not as simple as depressed. If you put it off for a while, it's likely to commit suicide." Su Jing said and Xue Zhonghong and Gu Mei face changed and they were almost frightened into a cold sweat. For them, Little Chong was like a child.
"I will advise the curator and ask the audience to not make noises. If it is not, the performance can only be carried out behind the soundproofing gla.s.s." Xue Zhonghong said that but in fact, it is impossible to perform behind a soundproof gla.s.s because the pool of dolphin performance is very large and it will be very expensive to cover the pool with soundproof gla.s.s and the audience also likes to listen to the sound that dolphins make. If the dolphins are separated from the audience by a soundproof gla.s.s cover, it will lose its efficiency. Where would be the fun in that? The best way is to strengthen the audience's awareness and keep the audience quiet.
"I promised Little Chong, so if you can't do it, I'll do everything I can to take it and give it back its freedom." Su Jing voice is light and authentic.
"Do not worry, I promise you this on my career." Xue Zhonghong nodded. Both of them spoke in a very weak tone, but it was not difficult to hear the same att.i.tude.
At this time, Gu Mei went to fetch fresh fish for feeding Little Chong. Little Chong no longer refused to eat. He ate it happily and threw it out. He even jumped out of the water to catch it with his mouth. When they saw Little Chong regain its vitality, everyone was completely relieved.
"Mr. Su, are you interested in visiting the fishes I have raised?" Xue Zhonghong suddenly said.
"You raised? Not the oceanarium?" Su Jing wondered if there could be private fish farming in oceanarium.
"Hha, I personally raised them." Xue Zhonghong smiled as he was the only one who could raise fish privately in the oceanarium. There are two main reasons why the curator gave him so much freedom. One is that Xue Zhonghong, as a trainer and veterinarian, has to do research on his own. Raising fish by himself is the best way. The other is that Xue Zhonghong's fish, many of which are extremely precious, are occasionally put in the exhibition VAT to attract tourists.
Xue Zhonghong invited Su Jing. In addition to feeling that Su Jing was also a fish friend and like-minded, he actually had a little selfishness. He wanted Su Jing to see if his fish had any problems. Watching the scene where Su Jing has just cured dolphin, he has taken Su Jing at a level above himself.
"Oh, let's see." Su Jing is not clear about Xue Zhonghong's mind, but interested in Xue Zhonghong's collection.
Hearing that Su Jing was leaving, Little Chong got out of the water and shouted at Su Jing, this reluctant look made all trainers envious and moved, wondering when they would be treated like that by dolphins.
"Little Chong, eat well and obey well. I'll come back to see you." Su Jing touched the dolphin's head. The dolphin arched Su Jing's hand with its head but still hesitated. After all, Su Jing is the only human who can understand it.
Xue Zhonghong left the dolphin pool with Su Jing and s.h.i.+ Qing, went to his personal office and opened the door.
"Isn't that Su Jing and s.h.i.+ Qing? We happened to see them again." Not far away, a girl said.
"They went into a place that didn't look like a dolphin pool." Wu Min said something strange.
"That's Mr. Xue's private office." Yang Tong frowned and felt more uneasy. He knew that Xue Zhonghong's office was generally closed to outsiders. Besides a.s.sistants, Xue Zhonghong did not allow anyone in his office. Why did Su Jing receive such treatment?
"Yang Tong, Didn't you say that Su Jing is living a bad life?" A tall boy wondered and Yang Tong was silent.
Su Jing, s.h.i.+ Qing, Xue Zhonghong entered a very s.p.a.cious office, not so much an office as a small Water Clan Hall and a small clinic. Half of it was filled with fish tanks and the other half were medical equipment. Several a.s.sistants were examining the fish.
"Mr. Su, these are the fish I have raised." Xue Zhonghong laughed.
"It's almost possible to open an exhibition hall in here." Su Jing was amazed. At first glance, he saw that there were not only many kinds of fishes, but also many kinds of precious fish with excellent quality. The total value of these fishes would be very high.
"Hha, some are from my friends, some are from everywhere, you see if there is anything to see."
"Let me see." Su Jing said, and suddenly stopped looking at a small fish tank and laughed, "s.h.i.+ Qing, look here."
"Where?" s.h.i.+ Qing looked in the direction Su Jing pointed out, blushed and spat softly. "Hooligans."
In the exhibition vat, the two fish were kissing each other. They kissed without a care in the world. It was more lingering than French kissing.
"This is called the kissing gourami." Su Jing laughed.
"Should be called the unscrupulous fish." s.h.i.+ Qing gave Su Jing a white look and blushed.
"This is the habits of other people. This kind of fish is famous for kissing each other, but interestingly, they kiss not only between the opposite s.e.x but also between the same s.e.x. Kissing is not a sign of friends.h.i.+p and love, but also a fight. Of course, there are still a lot of people who don't care about that and buy it because it means that their love will last for a long time. Su Jing said funnily.
"Mr. Su really knows a lot." Xue Zhonghong praised.
"I just read about it in the magazine." Su Jing said modestly.
Su Jing continues to watch, Su Jing cannot help but look more and more frightened, there are Asian Arowana, flower horn, tancho Kohaku… Although Su Jing is not very knowledgeable, he also knows something. He estimates the total value of these fishes to be in millions.
"Mr. Su, do you see any problems with my fishes?" Xue Zhonghong asked.
"I don't see any problems, You have raised them very well." Listening to Xue Zhonghong's question, Su Jing probably guessed his intention. It's funny. If he only depends on his eyesight, he doesn't even know how many grades he is worse than him.
"That's good." Xue Zhonghong laughed and relaxed.
"Ohh, this tank is full of newly hatched fishes, is it a flower horn?" Su Jing saw a dense newly hatched fishes in a water tank and his eyes lit up.
"Yes, these are Newly hatched flower horn fished," said Xue Zhonghong.
"What are the male fish and the female fish respectively?" Su Jing asked.
"The male fish is Kamfa Flowerhorn and the female fish is almost the same, ordinary Pearl Flowerhorn." Xue Zhonghong said, pointing to a fish tank not far away. There were two fish in it. One of them had a large forehead with a high raised bulge, red forebody, light white back body and a little pearl on it. It was kamfa flower horn; the smaller forehead had no bulge and Pearl Flower horn had a lot of Pearl dots on it.
Xue Zhonghong reached out and put his hand in the fish tank. Two flower horns swam up and kissed Xue Zhonghong's hand intimately. Among them, the mother's Pearl Flower horn swam to Xue Zhonghong's palm and thrilled happily.
"This fish is really interesting, like a puppy." s.h.i.+ Qing was so fond of it that she couldn't help holding out her hand.
"Don't." Su Jing quickly grabbed s.h.i.+ Qing's hand.
"What's wrong?" Seeing Su Jing so nervous, s.h.i.+-Qing could not help wondering, but did not break away from Su Jing's hand.
"Flower horn, apart from their majestic and magnificent, gorgeous and touching color and the lovely appearance which appeals to humanity, it is the most intoxicating thing for the majority of fans, which creates the complex between them and the feeder. They look quite tamed to people. As long as the owner comes to the fish tank, They will swim up and play with the owner intimately. Or swim back, or turn over, or lie in the hands of the owner, enjoy the caress of the owner. As tame and cute as Cats and Dogs. But if strangers want to be so close to them and play with him, they will be attacked mercilessly by them, leaving light scratches at the slightest and heavy bleeding at the heaviest. Su Jing explains.
"That's..!" s.h.i.+ Qing licked her mouth in fright but she still wants to touch the cute fish.
"If you want to touch them, you can raise a few of them. I have a lot of newly hatched fish here. How about I send you ten?" Xue Zhonghong laughed.
"Really?" s.h.i.+ Qing's eyes lit up and she turned to Su Jing and asked, "A'Jing, Is this fish good enough to raise?" Although she wanted to keep it, it was obvious that Xue Zhonghong is sending the fishes to give Su Jing some face, so she had to ask Su Jing first. After all, she didn't know the price. It was too expensive to accept it casually.
"Take it if you like. It's not difficult to raise." Su Jing laughs, Flower Horn seedlings are not very valuable. Ordinary pearl new hatched fishes cost up to a few yuan to a dozen yuan. Even if it is a new-hatched fish produced by good luck, whether it will grow into adulthood depends on the gene, the condition, and the environment in the feeding process. One hundred pearls are not likely to grow into a new-hatched fish, so the luck component is very large. What's more, Xue Zhonghong's own newly hatched fish is not much of a good seedling.
The so-called Hongyun Miao in the market is all deceptive because Hongyun does not exist newly hatched fish. Hongyun is an individual in Pearl seedlings. The key to dividing Hongyun is not related to the genetics of the strain, but to the grade. Hongyun is actually a big cla.s.sification in pearls, which can not be distinguished when it comes to hatched fish, at least. It takes fish to grow about four centimeters to distinguish.
"Mr. Xue, can you give me some, too?" Su Jing asked as it would take a lot of luck for the average person to raise a newly hatched fish till its adulthood, which would eliminate most of them, but Su Jing wanted to see what would happen if he fed them Magical Beast meat. In recent years, flower horn with excellent quality can be said to be priceless and well-nourished is a wealth.
"Of course, there are thousands of them. I can raise a few hundred at most. I am thinking about giving them away to people." Xue Zhonghong laughed.
"Can I have about three hundred or so? How much is it?" Su Jing asked.
"Let's not talk about money, I will just give them to you." Xue Zhonghong waved his hand generously.
Meanwhile, in an office, Fan Weishen was sitting in an office chair, in front of which stood a handsome middle-aged man in a stiff suit. He looked puzzled and did not know what Fan Weishen suddenly called him to do.
"Look at this surveillance video." Fan Weishen turned on a surveillance video, which was the whole process of Su Jing's healing the dolphin.
"Isn't that dolphin Little Chong? Old Xue couldn't help it. This young man is so capable." The handsome middle-aged man was amazed.
"He provided the Nautilus, hammerhead shark and the giant Humphead Wra.s.se in the new exhibition area. When we went to buy the Humphead Wra.s.se, we saw the Humphead Wra.s.se playing with him. Humphead Wra.s.se was like his pet." Fan Weishen said.
"The curator, you mean…" The handsome middle-aged man had probably guessed what Fan Weishen meant.
"Hire him at a high salary, pay him 30,000 monthly, persuade him to join us, this matter is left to you. He's in Old Xue's office now. You can just go straight to him." Fan Weishen said.
"Good." The handsome middle-aged man nodded and hurried out of the office. As the general manager personnel, he knows that 30,000 monthly salary represents how much the curator attaches to this young man and this type of salary can only be achieved by a few people in the oceanarium as a whole. However, Su Jing's ability that he just demonstrate just now is worth the price.
"He just surpa.s.sed my salary." Xia Chong, the general manager personnel, sighed slightly. He didn't go to Su Jing immediately. Instead, he briefly investigated Su Jing's information so he would be able to successfully hire him. The salary of 30,000 yuan is the highest price in Fan Weishen's mind. If he talked about less then 30,000 yuan, he could only finish the task reluctantly, but not finish it well.
"Ohh? He graduated from Zhongyun and he is an old cla.s.smate of Yang Tong" Xia Chong found that Su Jing and Yang Tong were old cla.s.smates. His eyes lit up. He called Yang Tong immediately. "Where are you, Yang Tong?"
"I am with my cla.s.smates. Isn't it my holiday today?" Yang Tong said in a polite tone.
"There are important things on the spot that will not take a lot of time. In which exhibition area are you? how far away are you from the Xue Zhonghong office?"
"I'm near the office of Mr. Xue."
"Then wait for me at the door of his office." After Xia Chong's commanding tone was finished, he hung up the phone.
Yang Tong took a look at his phone and frowned. He didn't know why his supervisor suddenly rushed to find him, but since Xia Chong was so anxious, he couldn't refuse it. After all, he was his boss.
"I'm sorry, everybody. My supervisor has something to do with me. You guys go and enjoy yourselves." Yang Tong apologized.
"Will it take long?" A tall boy asked.
"The boss said he had something for me to do and he is coming here." Yang Tong pointed to the office of Xue Zhonghong not far away.
"Let's wait here." The tall boy said and others agreed.
"Alright." Yang Tong walked over and stood at the door of Xue Zhonghong's office and Xia Chong rushed in a short while.
"You have a high school cla.s.smate named Su Jing, right?" Xia Chong asked directly.
"What?" Yang Tong was stunned. Why did the general manager ask about Su Jing?
