I have a wildlife zoo

"I was so scared I had to gulp down a 3-yuan soda to calm down!"

"Why spend 500,000 on a bird when there are better things to do?

With 50,000 you could buy console games, where a blockbuster only costs a few hundred; 50,000 for handheld games; 200,000 on online games, getting all those flashy skins in League of Legends, I want the Blind Monk, the Master of Elements; and 200,000 on mobile games, buying tens of thousands worth of diamonds, making sure every outfit is worth it. That would be enough to game for a lifetime."

"Boss, if you think life with money is too dull, I\'m the most helpful and warm-hearted person around, happy to relieve you of such pain."

"I don\'t think 500,000 is that exaggerated, the wealthy don\'t mind spending a bit of cash on pets. Take the plushie cats, for example, each costs tens of thousands, literally walking renminbi, and then there\'s the Call ducks, a duck priced over ten thousand, can you imagine?

Not to mention purebred Tibetan Mastiffs, or even thoroughbred horses, with prices over ten million or even a billion, yet they are just playthings for the rich."

"Indeed, a macaw pet abroad can cost tens of thousands of dollars; converted to RMB, that\'s at least 200,000 to start with. Considering how fun this parrot is, imitating electronic music and DJing, I think 500,000 is a bargain."

However, Fang Ye just smiled lightly, "Thank you, Mr. Dull-Money, for your fondness for our macaws, but I\'m sorry, the macaw is not for sale."

"Haha, the director is so cool! 500,000 doesn\'t even faze him."

"Come to think of it, the director is also a tycoon, right? I remember him saying in one of the live streams that he bought the zoo with his pocket money."

"Shock! So, this is the director\'s private zoo, and I didn\'t even know it."

"Wow, the director looks so simple in his daily attire, doesn\'t wear any luxury watches, and is busy preparing food for the animals every day. He doesn\'t look like a tycoon at all."

"Hahaha, Mr. Dull-Money\'s cash attack used in the wrong place."

"Director, please let me cling to your coattails!"

"Money is So Dull": "Director, I really like that parrot, how about 1 million? If you\'re not satisfied with the price, we can discuss further."

Some netizens were shaken: "Director, just sell it to him. With that money, you could probably bring in a few more macaws, it wouldn\'t be a loss anyway."

"Absolutely disagree! I still want to visit that macaw. If you sell it, director, I\'ll report you."

"Bird Raising Misleads Me": "Buddy, you might as well give up that thought. It\'s illegal to privately own a macaw in China."

"Huh? There\'s such a law?"

"I saw how beautiful and smart the macaw is and was thinking about getting one to play with."

Having mingled in the bird-raising group for so long, where the group members often discussed related topics, Hu Yan was quite familiar with the subject. Seeing that many netizens had only a half-baked understanding of parrot raising, he felt compelled to enlighten everyone.

So, he sat up straight, and unleashing his writer\'s speedy hands, he rapidly typed on his phone: "In our country, the only parrots allowed for private ownership are budgerigars, lovebirds, and cockatiels. All other parrots start at second-class protected species.

There was a boss who opened a restaurant and decorated it with two parrots, which turned out to be first-class protected African grey parrots, and as a result, he was sentenced to two years in prison."

"Damn, two years in prison just for buying two birds? How terrible is that?"

"Forget it, forget it, you\'ve successfully talked me out of getting a macaw."

"Money is So Dull": "Haha, my friend, you\'re right, but there\'s a condition—it must be without permission. With the relevant department\'s permit, private individuals can indeed own them."

The implication was that for him, obtaining a bird-keeping license wasn\'t a difficult task.

Hu Yan scratched his head, yeah, there was really nothing to say to that.

That\'s what\'s so annoying about rich people; they can easily do what others can\'t.

At this point, Fang Ye clasped his hands together and said earnestly, "I\'m sorry, Brother Dull Wealth, it\'s not a matter of how much money it is. I provide a good environment for the animals, they convey the beauty of living creatures to the visitors, teaching the concept of loving nature. Our relationship isn\'t one of domination and subordination, but one of equal respect.

So, I won\'t be selling them as pets."

"Awesome, I found myself falling for the director!"

"I\'m enlightened, the director\'s attitude towards animals really is worth learning from."

"How Dull Wealth" sighed regretfully; it seemed that the parrot was not up for purchase: "Well, it looks like I\'ll just have to visit the zoo in person when I\'m free."

Fang Ye laughed and asked the audience in the live stream, "We\'ve visited the macaws, what do you want to see next?"

"Red pandas, of course! They\'re so cuddly and cute."

"You guys don\'t know that the zoo\'s peafowl have moved, do you? The peafowl are now roaming freely on the outside lawn, and one of them, which is particularly friendly, often goes up to visitors to spread its tail for photos. Don\'t you want to go see that?"

"Ah, really? Now that you mention it, I kind of want to see."

"Foxes, foxes! The Xiaoqiao clique is here; Xiaoqiao is the number one in the world, who dares to disagree!"

"I\'m also a Xiaoqiao fan! Other animals just act cute, Xiaoqiao can also act fierce, so pure and unpretentious, I like this kind of fox."

"Boohoo, director, you\'ve forgotten your old love for your new flame, it\'s been so long since you\'ve taken us to see the tigers, I want to see Ice Cake and Jiaojiao."

Seeing the netizens arguing fiercely, Fang Ye decisively cut through the chaos with a wave of his hand: "Let\'s go, to the red panda exhibit."

Actually, he wanted to show the tigers too, but Jiaojiao\'s tiger exhibit was still under construction, and the cages were too crude. Tigers and small animals like parrots and red pandas were different. The small ones could still make their spaces colorful with just a couple of sticks and a ball to play with.

Without a rich environment, animals can\'t exhibit their natural behaviors.

But the red panda exhibit was already completed, and the netizens had only gotten a brief glimpse of the red pandas during the last move. This time, he could give them a proper viewing.

Lan Li, acting as the cameraman, was very diligent. On the way to the red panda exhibit, he turned the phone carefully, capturing the surrounding scenery in detail.

It was the time of day when the sun was shining at its brightest, but it seemed like the bamboo forest had absorbed all the sunlight, making each bamboo stalk appear particularly translucent and beautiful, leaving only the gentle sunlight to filter down, the sound of trickling water and the chirping of distant birds made the environment seem even more serene.

Despite having seen it once before, the netizens were still amazed.

"The environment at the red panda exhibit is so great, the director really went all out, planting bamboo all around."

"It\'s so hot where we are, you could fry an egg on the asphalt outside. Now hiding inside with the air conditioner on, it still feels incredibly stuffy and hot. But looking at this bamboo forest, I suddenly feel much cooler."

"Yeah, has the director considered building a vacation resort next to the bamboo grove? It would be great to spend a few days here."
