Hunting 81: Gathering Goods in the Mountains, I Spoil My Ex-Wife to the Extreme

"I'll offer three thousand five hundred."

Mr. Tang glanced at Dr. Kang and thought to himself that although this man had a kind heart, he was a bit foolish.

Save this bear cub?

Bears are inherently fierce and cunning. Even if they are raised in captivity from a young age, they can still suddenly attack and hurt people.

Moreover, this bear cub was raised in the wild and its wild nature is difficult to tame.

Moreover, as Li Yunshan just mentioned, the bear cub, the wolves that were killed, and the adult bear that was shot were all found within five miles of Hongxing Forest Farm.

With so many employees in the forest farm, these animals pose a significant safety hazard to them.

According to Tang Zhengfeng, these beasts were simply killed, and there was nothing to pity about them.

If these beasts are pitiful, then the forestry workers who were killed or injured by the man-eating tiger when it roamed the Hongxing Forestry Farm, and the hunters who went into the mountains to hunt the tiger, were even more pitiful.

Just like this bear cub in the iron cage, if it hadn't been captured by Li Yunshan and had grown up in the forest, it might have caused great harm and loss to the forest farm.

But now, suddenly someone stands up and says he wants to save the bear cub.

Tang Zhengfeng found such remarks quite amusing.

Does he think he is the Buddha, capable of saving all sentient beings?

Even Director Zhou, Doctor Hu, and even Li Yunshan and Li Yunshi found Dr. Kang's words somewhat amusing.

Although Li Yunshan had lived two lives and knew that the country would later introduce laws to protect wild animals, he actually couldn't feel any pity for animals like bears.

The reason Dr. Hu came to buy bear cubs was to extract bear bile.

In his eyes, as long as he could extract bear bile, he could double the efficacy of his family's ancestral pills, thus better treating and saving lives. Therefore, he didn't care much about the life or death of this bear cub.

Is a bear cub's life more important than a human life?

As for Director Zhou and Li Yunshi, they couldn't understand Dr. Kang even more.

However, when Dr. Kang heard that Tang Zhengfeng immediately raised the bid to 3,500 yuan, which was 400 yuan higher than his own bid, Dr. Kang's eyes darkened instantly.

Yesterday, before leaving, the zoo director instructed that the zoo could only contribute a maximum of three thousand yuan, and he had just contributed three thousand one hundred yuan, actually intending to take one hundred yuan from his own savings to make up the difference.

But to everyone's surprise, Tang Zhengfeng suddenly raised the price to 3,500 yuan, which was 400 yuan higher than the price he had offered.

That four hundred yuan is enough for him to live on for four or five months.

but……

He glanced at the half-grown bear cub locked in the iron cage. If he didn't save it, its future would be dire.

If we could bring it back to the zoo, although it would be kept in captivity, the bear cub would be well-fed and clothed and would not have to suffer the pain of having its bile extracted, being sold to a circus, or being skinned alive in the future.

Thinking of this, Dr. Kang gritted his teeth: "Three thousand six!"

"Dr. Kang, you're insane!"

Ye Yinmei looked at Dr. Kang in disbelief, as if she were looking at a madwoman.

Before leaving, the kindergarten director had instructed that the kindergarten could only provide a maximum of three thousand yuan in financial support, but Dr. Kekang is now...

Who will pay the extra 600 yuan?

The zoo, or did Dr. Kang pay for it out of his own pocket?

Sometimes, rescuing wild animals is not wrong, but don't exceed your capabilities.

"four thousand."

Tang Zhengfeng calmly offered a price that devastated Dr. Kang.

Upon hearing the price, Dr. Kang immediately deflated like a punctured balloon.

"Is there anything else that would increase the price? Dr. Hu, Dr. Kang?"

Director Zhou glanced at Dr. Hu and Dr. Kang and asked.

Dr. Hu shook his head. Tang Zhengfeng had already offered four thousand yuan, which was beyond his financial means. If he offered an even higher price, although he could afford it, it would at least be a significant financial strain.

Moreover, what if he makes another offer, and Tang Zhengfeng offers an even higher price?

As for the family heirloom pill, without bear bile as a medicinal ingredient, he had to find another way to obtain bear bile from other channels.

"I..." Dr. Kang glanced at the bear cub in the iron cage, his face showing both pity and resentment, but he also knew that this was the limit of his ability.

He was willing to pay out of his own pocket, taking out several hundred yuan, already prepared for the next few months to live on meager rations, and even prepared to face his wife's scolding when he returned to the city.

But Tang Zhengfeng's offer was too high, and he dared not continue to bid.

"Mr. Tang, this bear cub is yours."

"Manager Zhou laughed."

Finally, Tang Zhengfeng took the bear cub away for four thousand yuan.

The bear skin that Li Yunshan killed in the Hongxing Forest Farm was also sold to Tang Zhengfeng for six thousand yuan.

Watching the bear cub being driven away in a truck by Tang Zhengfeng's men, Dr. Kang's eyes reddened and burned. He couldn't help but sigh before driving away as well.

"Brother Yunshan, congratulations! You've become a millionaire!"

After Tang Zhengfeng, Dr. Kang, and the others left, Director Zhou couldn't help but feel envious.

Although he is the director of Hongxing Forest Farm, a secure job with guaranteed income regardless of drought or flood, and he oversees hundreds of forest farm employees, his monthly salary is only a little over one hundred yuan.

His meager salary is what sustains his wife and children's daily needs, as well as their social obligations.

Li Yunshan only accompanied Old Liang into the mountains for a day of hunting, yet he earned more money than he could ever earn in his lifetime.

The bear cubs earned four thousand, and the bear skin of the blind bear earned six thousand. That's real money, tens of thousands of yuan. Those ten-yuan bills stacked up would make a thick bundle.

What you don't envy is all a lie.

But Director Zhou also knew that Li Yunshan had earned all of this through his own hard work and risky ventures.

However, when Director Zhou mentioned the "ten-thousand-yuan household," Li Yunshan felt both familiar and somewhat unfamiliar with it.

The term "ten-thousand-yuan household," rich in the characteristics of the era, was prevalent in the 1980s and was also a synonym for those who were among the first to get rich and move towards the wealthy class in the early stages of the country's reform and opening up.

At that time, the national policy proposed to allow some people to get rich first, and the private economy and individual economy began to sprout and develop rapidly, and soon the first batch of rich stars emerged.

In the early 1980s, if a family had 10,000 yuan in savings, it would be big news that spread far and wide, even more so than if ordinary people bought luxury cars or even private jets decades later.

Because the term "ten-thousand-yuan household" represents not only economic success, but also a great deal of social honor.

Sometimes, in order to encourage the development of the private and individual economies, even the head of a county will personally visit those who have become "ten-thousand-yuan households" and personally put a big red flower on them as a sign of commendation.

In his previous life, Li Yunshan only became a millionaire in the late 1980s after he suddenly realized the truth.

Unfortunately, by that time, households with 10,000 yuan were no longer rare, because households with 100,000 yuan had already emerged.

But later, Li Yunshan, relying on his own abilities, also accurately seized the opportunities of the times and became a billionaire after the country joined the WTO.

Although he later lost all the wealth he had accumulated due to failed investments, at least Li Yunshan had been rich and successful in his previous life.

Unexpectedly, after being reborn, he became a millionaire in less than half a year, several years earlier than in his previous life.

But frankly speaking, at this time of year, people with 10,000 yuan in savings are quite rare.

At least, three years have passed since the start of the reform and opening up, and he has never heard of any households in Xiangyang Commune with more than 10,000 yuan.

However, it cannot be ruled out that there are people with tens of thousands of yuan, but they choose to keep a low profile and protect themselves.

After all, before the reform and opening up, having money was not a good thing; sometimes it could even bring about one's death or the destruction of one's family.

Therefore, with the valuable experience from before the reform and opening up, even if someone in Xiangyang Commune had tens of thousands of yuan, they wouldn't go around talking about it and bring trouble upon themselves.

But Li Yunshan, as someone who has been through it all, knows what will happen next. The country's determination to persist in reform and opening up will not change, and it will only increasingly encourage the development of the private and individual economies.

However, he didn't become a millionaire by doing business or contributing to the economy; he earned his ten thousand yuan by hunting.

No, it's not ten thousand yuan.

Adding to what he saved from selling tiger skins and some money he had left over from selling bear skins, he now has more than 15,000 yuan on hand, heading towards becoming a 20,000-yuan household.

"Brother Zhou, keep a low profile, keep a low profile. I still want to make my fortune quietly and not be too flashy, so as not to attract attention."

Li Yunshan quickly waved his hand.

He was already famous when he was fighting tigers, and he never thought about becoming famous again after that.

"Okay, okay, I understand. I was just saying it offhand."

Director Zhou smiled and said.

"Then I'll go back and pack my things, and then I'll get ready to go back to the village."

Having been away for several days, Li Yunshan was also thinking about home.

Moreover, Old Liang had already informed him that he was leaving at noon today to visit his old friend, Dr. Hu.

Since Old Liang is already preparing to leave, there's no point in him staying at the Red Star Forest Farm any longer.

Therefore, Li Yunshan also planned to pack his things and prepare to go home.

But apart from the eleven wolf pelts and a gun he was given, he didn't have much else to pack, so he quickly packed everything up.

"Hey, Xiao Li, let me tell you something. You've earned so much money, if you rashly deposit it in the bank, it might cause some unnecessary trouble. I think you should go to Zhou Qing and get a certificate proving that all that money was earned through legitimate means. This can avoid some unnecessary trouble."

Before leaving, Li Yunshan went to say goodbye to Elder Liang.

After giving him his home address and landline number, Mr. Liang also gave Li Yunshan a reminder.
