Chapter 974 The Land of Dreams (Fourth update, please subscribe)
“...After Your Excellency ended his visit to London, he met with the Shah of Iran Pahlavi when he passed through Tehran, and the two sides reached a series of agreements. Consensus on economic cooperation..."
The news came out from the car radio and did not attract Zhu Guoyong's attention. It was just a habit while driving. On the way to the institute, he would occasionally see huge billboards on the roadside. Most of those billboards depicted the cute and naive appearance of pandas. He didn’t know since when, both sides of the road were filled with such advertisements. card, perhaps because the panda has now become a business card of Nanyang.
Most of the pandas in Southeast Asia are bred in the Genting Plateau, and the Panda Breeding Research Institute where Zhu Guoyong works is an institution specializing in the research and breeding of pandas. It is home to the top animal experts in Southeast Asia. , including some European and American counterparts.
However, unlike the closed high-walled compounds of many research institutes, the Panda and Panda Breeding Research Institute is open. Many tourists come here every day. Because there is a quota, people come here early. queue.
After parking the car in the parking lot, Zhu Guoyong walked towards the research institute with his briefcase. On the way, he saw several passengers getting off the two Warrior off-road vehicles, except for two Europeans with beautiful looks and hot bodies. In addition to the young Asian woman, there were several children. The leader was a ten-year-old boy. The boy arranged for the other children to follow him like an adult. Judging from their clothes and the bodyguards next to them, they are obviously a group of children from rich families,
"Yiyuan, look at the younger brothers and sisters. Yitao and I will make an appointment together."
As a family member Although the eldest son, Li Yixuan, is only ten years old, he arranges everything like a little adult. After learning that his younger brothers and sisters from London wanted to see cat and pandas, he took the initiative to become a tour guide.
“What is an appointment?”
When queuing up at the appointment desk, Li Yitao’s little head was filled with questions.
"We just line up here, wait for our turn, then register and get the tickets."
"Can't we just go in?"
Li Yitao said without knowing why.
“When we were in London, when other people were queuing up, we would go in directly. Sometimes we would drive in directly.”
Li Yixuan couldn’t be proud of his younger brother’s answer. said.
"Because that is Britain, and this is Nanyang! Everyone is equal in Nanyang, no one has any privileges, even dad comes here..."
"Do I need to make an appointment?"
"I should do it too! Yes,"
Li Yixuan nodded vigorously and said.
"These are rules. Dad said that human society has made many rules, and the purpose of making rules is for fairness. If a small number of people enjoy privileges based on their different status, then fairness will be trampled on, well , that’s it, so no one should enjoy privileges, regardless of status.”
When Li Yixuan was preaching to his younger brother, the elder in line in front of him turned around curiously and looked at the two children behind him. They were obviously of mixed race, but they were all surprisingly beautiful. So he couldn't help but wonder.
"So, has your father ever told you how to prevent the occurrence of privileges?"
"Make rules, abide by and maintain the rules."
Li Yixuan He said looking at the gentle and elegant elder in front of him.
“Well, there is also civic awareness...”
The elder listened to the boy's story, nodded from time to time, and then he started chatting with the boy.
It was their turn soon after receiving the reserved tickets.
"Goodbye, little friend."
"Goodbye, old gentleman."
After politely saying goodbye, Li Yixuan took his younger brother and walked towards the door, and The two bodyguards behind them kept their distance.
The old man wearing black-rimmed glasses couldn't help but sigh when he saw the bodyguard behind the boy.
“Nanyang’s ability to rise in a short period of time does have something special about them. Just by looking at this child, you can get an idea of it.”
“What Mr. said is true. No matter in the mainland back then or in the Bay Island now, all the powerful and wealthy people are not domineering. But these two children can be seen as coming from a wealthy family, but they have no idea of privilege. It is really rare. Perhaps, this is Nanyang Let’s go.”
Looking at the child who had already joined his family, the elder said.
"It's one, didn't the other kid say it? He's from London. On the contrary, when he was in London, he was already used to privileges."
Xiao Qian smiled after listening to the words of his old friends.
"Haha, Britain has a clear hierarchy. They are used to privileges. That is normal. It is very different from Nanyang. Nanyang is Nanyang!" Xiao Qian, who had been staying in Britain during the war, said: Naturally, the British know their way very well. That child would have a sense of privilege and it wouldn't be weird at all.
When he mentioned Nanyang, Xiao Qian's expression was slightly proud. Nanyang... is Nanyang, it is a unique place.
Soon, they also entered the breeding base. There were not many tourists in the breeding base, and even the elder felt like he had returned to his hometown in southern Anhui.
"Look, not only were the pandas here flown in from Sichuan Province, but also these..."
Xiao Gan pointed at the bamboo forest and said.
“These bamboos were also introduced from Sichuan. Now there are hundreds of thousands of acres of bamboo forests in Genting Plateau, and they are also planted in other places, just to ensure food for cat pandas.”
Although He is a professor of literature, but when Xiao Qian mentioned cat and panda, he treated them like a treasure, from when you sent people to capture pandas in Sichuan, Shaanxi and Yunnan provinces and other places, to research and breeding.
“Now, there are 96 pandas in Nanyang. In addition to the breeding institute, some are also released in the wild. However, the temperature in Nanyang is too high, and only a few plateaus are suitable for them to live..."

After thinking about it, Xiao Qian said.
“But overall, like other wild animals introduced to Southeast Asia, they have adapted very well. Well, just like the South China tiger, it has taken root in Southeast Asia. I heard that it is currently in several countries. There are already hundreds of South China tigers in this wildlife reserve.”
When mentioning South China tigers, Xiao Qian emphasized.
“Not only South China tigers, but also white-tip dolphins also thrive here. It is said that hundreds of them have multiplied, just like the people of the Tang Dynasty on this land.”
Listen Following Xiao Qian's words, the elder wearing glasses said.
"Before I came to Nanyang, I heard people mention that Nanyang spends millions of dollars on animal protection every year, wasting countless money, but they don't know..."
The elder looked into the distance. panda, said.
“Actually, this is also a kind of oath, by bringing Tangshan’s wild animals to Nanyang, allowing them to thrive here, and ultimately, showing the world that this place belongs to the Tang people, just like the cat and bear... ..."
Looking at the panda in the distance, the elder said.
“It is unique to Tangshan, but now, when the whole world mentions pandas, they will think of Nanyang. Nanyang uses TV sets, posters and other various propaganda methods to not only connect the Tang people and this land. This is true even for pandas, South China tigers and other wild animals. A few decades later, when people mention Nanyang, they will mention the Tang people and these wild animals, but..."
After a pause, the elder did not continue. What he saw were compatriots with the same blood as him. They had taken root in this land. No matter what other people were like, this was an ironclad fact. , those wild animals may be guests, but in fact, they are also integrated into this land.
As for the others...who cares? No one cares about those people at all.
Listening to the laughter of the children in the distance when they saw the cat and panda, the elder had a child-like smile on his face. Everything in front of him also made him feel extremely comfortable.
Others are not important. When this idea came to his mind, the elder couldn't help but laugh at himself.
"Hey, I have just arrived in Nanyang, and you have become a little extreme yourself..."
He said this in his heart, but there was a comfortable and happy smile on his face, because everything here was what he had dreamed of.
Except for some things that are not in line with his vision of the ideal country, other things here are simply the country of his dreams.
Xiao Qian looked at his old friend looking thoughtfully at the crowd of tourists, so he said.
“How is it, how does Nanyang feel?”
“Far beyond imagination, far beyond imagination.”
"In that case, do you want to stay? If you come here, you will be very welcome."
Faced with his friend's invitation, he thought for a while and shook his head.
“Although this place is nice, it is not my country.”
