Big Islander 2

Chapter 415 Oxygen Fee

Regarding the pheasant, Tang Jide directly chose to ignore it, and the identities of the group soon surfaced. They came from some animal protection associations in Brazil and animal experts from universities. They came here for Tang Jide and the others. The batch of parrots that were repatriated.

In Tang Jide's view, these parrots are gray and chubby, and their sales are far worse than those of pheasants and Ah Zi, so they thought they were ordinary goods. "Spex's Macaw".At present, there is only one Spix’s macaw in the wild, flying alone in the rainforest; it is said that there are dozens of them in captivity, scattered scattered all over the world, but it is very difficult to restore this species. Difficult, can only slowly wait for the wild Spix's macaw to die, and then declare the complete extinction of this species.

But Tang Jide brought hundreds of Spix's macaws all at once, which made these scholars see the hope of continuing this species. Of course, they were ecstatic, and immediately contacted the staff on the bus, and then chased them all the way. , There is no such thing as a pheasant at all.

It's a loss, it's a loss-Big Brother is very annoyed, he didn't expect these humble parrots to be so precious.But soon he calmed down: the reason why he worked so hard to send these animals from the underground world to their original place was that he didn’t want to profit from it at all. If he wanted to make a condition, wouldn’t those extinct thylacines be better? chips?

So Brother Datou waved his hand generously, talked about the importance of protecting wild animals, and at the same time used the topic to refute the destruction of the Amazon rainforest by the Brazilian government. This is a common problem in many developing countries. resources to accelerate the country's development.But you must know that once many resources are destroyed, they are non-renewable.When you turn around and want to protect, nature has not given you this chance to repent.

These scholars are also animal protectionists, and of course they nodded in approval of Tang Jide's words; even Chief Wawa nodded. The Amazon rainforest is their lovely home.

Moreover, the Amazon rainforest is also affectionately called "the lungs of the earth", because the oxygen produced here can account for at least 20% of the earth's oxygen supply.With the destruction of a large number of rainforests, it has caused adverse effects on the entire planet.

Some media reporters also appeared on the scene one after another. Some of them naturally recognized the big head of the owner of Taohua Island, and they couldn't help but be overjoyed, because this big head is too newsworthy.

So the reporters swarmed up, or made recordings, or asked questions, and those scholars were helping out, for a while, the momentum was very strong.The reporters all had big headlines in their minds: The owner of Peach Blossom Island denounced the Brazilian government in public!

Their side is lively and lively, but the government workers next to them are anxious. This kind of conflict is a family scandal and should not be publicized.As a result, one of them argued hard: "Our government doesn't want to destroy the rainforest, but the country wants to develop, the people want to eat, and these indigenous people need to feed themselves. Where will the money come from? You keep saying that you want to protect the lungs of the earth. It is said that this is the wealth of the whole world, but why haven’t other countries around the world paid to help us protect the rainforest? You breathe the oxygen produced by the Amazon rainforest every day, why don’t you pay for it? It’s all about talking better than singing!”

Although these words were a bit extreme, they still silenced the audience. Because of human factors, countries were divided, but the wealth on the earth belongs to all human beings, and everyone and every country is responsible.

This is indeed a problem—Tang Jide scratched the back of his head. In fact, he also encountered similar situations in some African countries: they all clamored for protection and protection, but they couldn't even eat, and they were so protective!
But this can never be an excuse for destroying nature. It is said that the rational development and utilization of natural resources, but how is it reasonable? Reasonable.

In the end, all eyes were on Tang Jide, because he was the perpetrator and the one with the most special identity on the scene.Under the many hot eyes, Brother Big Head expressed that he was under a lot of pressure.So he said twice: "How about this, since the Amazon is the lungs of the earth, people all over the world breathe the oxygen here, and then benefit, just pay according to the head. Just like you eat and stay in a hotel, you spend what you do. Money, this item is called oxygen inhalation fee."

Such a bizarre proposal made everyone present dumbfounded. Once this opening is made, many countries may follow suit. For example, do countries with a lot of wetlands also need to charge some kidney tonifying fees for the kidneys of the earth?
Moreover, most of the Amazon rainforest is only in Brazil, and there are several countries such as Colombia and Peru, which are all involved. If oxygen absorption fees are really charged, how will the money be calculated.

While thinking about it, the owner of Datou Island continued to talk nonsense: "Since our Taohua Island is the initiator, we must take the lead in implementing it. There are more than 3 people in our Taohua Island. The standard of the ten-yuan peach blossom coin, this matter is handed over to Mr. Zhu Guang, the Prime Minister of Taohua Island!"

Is this guy insane? How much does he really pay for oxygen inhalation? Many people look at Tang Jide like a fool, but there are also some quick-witted people who have already started to help the owner of Datou Island. With a population of more than 3, one The year is only more than 30 peach blossom coins, which is really not much money.

However, for those populous countries with a population of hundreds of millions, this amount of money is probably an astronomical figure of hundreds of millions, billions, or tens of billions. The owner of the big head island is really easy to calculate!

In fact, they really wronged Big Brother. He really wanted to pay the money and set up a foundation to protect the tropical rainforest. He didn't put much thought into it, because he was originally a relatively simple-minded person. People, to put it bluntly, are heartless and brainless.

It’s just that in this way, other countries have been shot while lying down, paying for oxygen inhalation fees for no reason, isn’t this bullshit, whoever pays is a fool.

After the initial shock brought by the oxygen fee subsided, the reporters became excited. In their line of work, they were afraid that there would be no news. Attracting attention, so they swarmed around Tang Jide like flies seeing blood, one question after another, all kinds of tricky and weird questions emerged one after another, making Big Brother's head tend to grow bigger again.

Seeing this scene, people from the local government couldn't stop laughing: The owner of Peach Blossom Island is really kind, he took the initiative to help us sow hatred, and he didn't take any reward.What kind of spirit is it for a foreigner to regard the cause of rainforest protection as his own? This is a great foolish spirit!

If Brother Big Tou knew what they were thinking, he would probably have to kick their butts one by one. Unfortunately, he is already too busy to take care of himself now, and was confused by those reporters.The pheasants shook their heads and sighed at Ah Zi: "Big head is asking for trouble!"

"Ask for trouble!" Ah Zi also flapped her wings to learn the language. It was strange to say that it seemed to be at odds with Tang Datou, and as long as it involved Big Tou's negative remarks, it learned very quickly.

Looking at Uncle Big Tou's distressed appearance, Little Xiami fell into deep thought: Although Uncle Big Tou's fee proposal seems almost absurd, it is not out of thin air. If it can be implemented, I believe it will definitely awaken more people's awareness of protecting nature.Because many things are like this, if you stay out of the matter, then the matter has nothing to do with you, so you hang it up high, ignore it, or sing high-profile; on the contrary, when it comes to your own interests, you will Realize that this incident is about you, too, and take a more proactive approach.But, is it really possible to collect oxygen inhalation fees?
Many reporters soon asked Tang Jide this question: "May I ask Mr. Island Owner, who will go to various countries to collect oxygen inhalation fees? This proposal was proposed by Taohua Island. Does it mean that Taohua Island will host this matter?" What's up?"

This is obviously a trick for Big Brother. Everyone knows that once money is involved, things will be difficult.What's more, this kind of strange oxygen inhalation fee, which seems to be out of reach, must not be paid willingly by many countries. Therefore, the party collecting the money is definitely a thankless chore.Even if the United Nations takes the lead, it may not work well.

I don't know if it's because he's dizzy, or if Tang Jide really wants to take on this matter, but he slapped his chest loudly: "Everyone, since I said it, then I have to carry it out!"

There was thunderous applause from all around. Some people really admired the courage of the island owner, while others just had the mentality of watching the fun: want money?Then be careful with your hands——

The reporters knew best in their hearts: as long as they follow the owner of Datou Island, there must be a good show to watch!
After some difficulty, Tang Jide squeezed out of the crowd and came to show off in front of his partners: "Hehehe, congratulations to me, from now on, I am the creditor of people all over the world!"

"Big head, don't you be drowned by the spit of people all over the world?" Pheasant muttered worriedly, and Ah Zi immediately sang along beside her: "Drown drowned——"

But Xiao Xiami didn't pour cold water on Uncle Big Tou, instead two big dimples appeared on his face: "I support Uncle Big Tou. However, this matter also involves all countries involved in the Amazon rainforest, formulating detailed rules and regulations, and then Set up an organization and be famous for your talents—it takes money to be famous.”

Tang Jide nodded his head vigorously: "Those who know me say I am worried, those who don't know me say what I want, people have to do something to live. Shrimp, who do you think we should ask for money first? "

Xiao Xiami blinked his eyes and said, "Depending on the level of development of the country, different standards should be set. For example, developed countries should have more standards, developing countries should have fewer, and backward regions can even be exempted. It needs to be persuasive. Force, of course we're going to be the first to reach north—"

Watching Xiao Xiami stretch out his hand to the north, Brother Datou also slapped his thigh vigorously: "Yes, the country of America is the most developed country, known as the most powerful country in the world, so of course we must take the lead!"

His voice was so loud that the reporters not far away heard it, and the camp was blown up immediately. The reporters almost went crazy with joy: This news is so explosive that Peach Blossom Island is demanding debts from the United States. Dealing with it, but the owner of the big head island turned out to be unrestrained, declaring in public that he would use the weird excuse of "oxygen inhalation fee" to ask the United States for money. It is exciting to think about it. I hope that the two sides can exercise restraint and not fight. it is good.Hee hee hee--
