0340 [Conquering Oscar]
What is the best place to go for hunting?
Of course it's Africa.
Wan Xiaohu, who had a private jet, took Mark's family to South Africa, the southernmost tip of Africa. Rich people like to hunt prey in Africa, and Africa has the best economy and good security. South Africa is even listed as a developed country in China's junior high school textbooks in the past.
Of course, to be honest, there is a huge gap between the rich and the poor in South Africa. Some big cities may have reached the developed level, and most areas are still very poor. As a white-ruled African country, it has been disabled by its own racial policies.
Or, it was the victory of the black uncles.
In the past, in South Africa, whites occupied an absolute position. Later, for the sake of democracy, votes expanded and apartheid was lifted out of segregation in 1994. As a result, Uncle Black gradually eroded the rights of whites, completed a great reversal, and moved from the poor to the big cities. As for whites, the rich whites quickly immigrated, and the remaining whites walked from the big cities into the slums.
After blacks took power, the only white slum in the world was born.
These black people may be influenced by the traditional hunting history and have no idea what construction is. They are simply unable to manage a country. Many industries require only black people and mixed races, and many white technicians cannot get jobs. In many high-tech industries, black uncles cannot play at all, and even some black people who can't even open computers have become employees of the science and technology department in a noble way.
More black people only know how to spend money but not make money. The only way to make money is to rob...
Over time, South Africa's economy declined rapidly and the unemployment rate rose sharply. South Africa, which was once known as the "America of Africa", no longer exists and becomes a developing country.
(So China must not allow uncle black to immigrate to China. Black people in Guangzhou and Shenzhen should be expelled back! The status of yellow people cannot be defiled!)
Whether South Africa is doing well or not has nothing to do with Wan Xiaohu, but he has an idea. He buys a few gold or diamond mines in South Africa to play with. However, considering that he doesn’t know anything about occupying the mine and does not have his own armed forces, it is better to extinguish this idea.
Focusing on hunting is the king.
In southern Africa, because the savanna is lush and there are many wild animals. In order to make money, a large number of hunting grounds are opened here. In addition to December, South Africa is a recuperation period every year, from January to November, you can hunt at will and enjoy various package services by spending money.
For $9,800, you can go to the hunting ground to catch an impala, a warthog, and a blue wildebeest.
For $11,800, you can go to Munnik hunting ground to catch an impala, a warthog, and a white-faced wildebeest.
For $19,800, you can go to the top luxury Exclan hunting grounds - the favorite hunting place for European nobles, Middle Eastern chiefs and Hollywood celebrities.
In addition to South Africa, Wan Xiaohu and Mark and his party, they are also preparing to hunt in two other African countries, Mozambique and Botswana.
You can spend $48,000 to Mozambique to fight a leopard worth $8,000 and weigh about 90 kilograms.
You can spend $78,000 to hit a 5.5-ton elephant (two with discounted prices of $108,000), and legally import and collect ivory.
You can go to Botswana to fight a 4.5-ton white rhino for $158,000.
In this legal hunting enjoyment that has been around for hundreds of years, the symbol of hunters' hunting career is to fight the five major African entries, rhinos, African bison, lions and leopards.
It is not difficult to see that many of them are protected animals. However, hunting in Africa is not illegal, and it even promotes the protection of wild animals. This was once the home for thousands of wild animals to stroll freely. However, humans forcibly occupy their habitat and convert them into livestock farms to raise cattle and sheep, causing a sharp drop in the number of local wild animals.
But from the early to the mid-20th century, some ranchers decided to abandon pastures, move livestock out, restore wildlife species, and support hunting, and South African wildlife ushered in prosperity. The reason for its success is that hunting makes farmers profitable and can make more money than livestock industry.
For example, there are more than 150,000 elephants in Botswana. They issue certain permits every year according to international conventions, and can hunt about 500 adult elephants a year. The entire process is supervised by local officials, and the license will be cancelled on the spot when the hunt is completed. These elephants have received a large area of habitat at the cost of these 500 old elephants.
Maybe this is luck in helplessness.
Mark Alba likes hunting very much. After retiring from the Air Force, his business hobby was to hunt everywhere. He once went to Canada to hunt on dog sleds. In Canada, he could spend $78,000 to catch a polar bear, $148,000 to catch a black bear and a cold-water rainbow trout.
"The price in Africa is very cheap, and I thought about it very early. You know, although Canada asks you to fight polar bears, it may take you a whole week to not even touch the polar bears. Even the black bears are not easy to touch. I went there a few times, but I didn't see any one."
After staying at a five-star hotel in Pretoria, the capital of South Africa, Mark began to prepare to debug his hunting equipment, several different types of hunting rifles, crossbow arrows, pistols and anesthetics.
By the way, I will teach Wan Xiaohu some hunting experience: "Other places are too expensive. If you go to Iran, you will only get a Moflen goat for $28,000. In Alaska, you can take a private plane to hit a 3-meter-high brown bear, or you can go to British Columbia, Canada, and take a seaplane to the Rockies to catch the world's largest deer - moose. But these two shows are more like entertainment and there is no fun to hunt."
"Yeah." Wan Xiaohu responded casually.
He was not very interested in hunting. Although he was not an extreme animal protector, he also felt that this kind of hunting was meaningless. With the intention of improving the relationship between father-in-law and son-in-law and traveling to Africa, he had this hunting journey.
Therefore, during the week's journey, Wan Xiaohu didn't touch the hunting rifle a few times. He just followed Mark and watched him happily search for prey, approached the prey and hunted the prey, and then Wan Xiaohu was responsible for paying the bill. Fortunately, Mark claimed to be a high-end hunter. He only hunted g-five.
Finally, when they left Africa, they had an extra tooth in their luggage, a white rhino horn, and a pair of bison horns. Time was limited. Mark did not hunt lions or leopards.
"Do you want to collect it?" On the plane, Mark kept showing off his gains, taking out ivory from time to time, and asking Wan Xiaohu.
"Dad, is hunting a glorious thing? Don't show off anymore, you must know that you have killed many innocent lives." Jessica couldn't stand the show off by her father and retorted speechlessly.
"This is hunting, legal hunting, and the Lord allows His people to do anything legal."
"The Lord teaches us to be good, not kill!" Jessica opposed loudly.
Mark shrank his neck and no longer distinguished himself from his daughter. Instead, he winked at Wan Xiaohu: "Women always limit a lot of fun for men."
Wan Xiaohu spread his hands and expressed his support.
Suddenly, both the father-in-law and son-in-law laughed.
...
After the African hunting ended, Wan Xiaohu continued to stare at the post-production of "Rise of the Planet of the Apes". Time flies, and good news comes one after another.
On January 7, 2008, one of the five major Oscar vanes, the 13th North American Film Critics Association Award, announced to the public. The best cartoon was won by "Kung Fu Panda".
On January 13, 2008, affected by the screenwriter's strike, star directors were absent collectively. The 65th Golden Globe Awards failed to hold an award ceremony, and only held a press conference with a reduction in specifications. It took half an hour to announce the list of winners in front of reporters.
This is the first time in the 65-year history of the Golden Globes. I originally planned to have a star meeting and a champagne party after the press conference, but it was refuted by the Screenwriters Association and cancelled. Therefore, Wan Xiaohu's proud moment in his life was ruthlessly deprived of it.
"The one who won the 65th Golden Globe Award for Best Animation is... "Kung Fu Panda".
On TV, the host quickly read out the winning works.
There is no doubt that it belongs to "Kung Fu Panda".
"Congratulations, tiger, you won the Golden Globe Award!" Jessica happily rushed towards Wan Xiaohu.
"Be careful, my son." Wan Xiaohu quickly held Jessica, "It's a pity that I couldn't show off at the awards ceremony and enjoy the applause, damn George Clooney!"
George Clooney, a political speculator, is an actor with huge connections in Hollywood and a director. Other stars regard public welfare as an extension of their ability, and he has become a political spokesperson and regards political propaganda as his career.
For example, this screenwriter strike became the moment for him to show himself. The Golden Globe Awards ceremony had already invited many actors to the audience, but George Clooney won over them one by one and said he would not attend the Golden Globe Awards.
Wan Xiaohu was unhappy about this, but he would not curse him for this.
The reason why Wan Xiaohu cursed was that these Hollywood stars were full and felt so full that they couldn't stand the same as China on the Darfur issue. World brands including Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt and other world brands all had clear responsibilities. China was inhumane on the Darfur issue.
But in fact, the Darfur issue was not yet a Western country led by the United States, and was provoked for the sake of oil interests. As a result, the ** armed forces supported by Western countries failed to defeat the Sudanese government friendly to China. Therefore, Western countries began to accuse China of being inhumane and supporting the Sudanese government of armed genocide against ** armed genocide, etc.
These Hollywood stars began to show their "humanity" one by one and began to boycott China.
In other words, in Hollywood, ** means political correctness, and not many celebrities are not **. This is also one of the reasons why Wan Xiaohu is in Hollywood but is very frightened by Hollywood. These brainless celebrities may not even know where China is, so they start ** and anti-nmgb!
The old man is still nailed to Hollywood. Sooner or later, cultural counterattacks will be made to let you know how powerful the Chinese are!
Wan Xiaohu thought disdainfully.
...
The Darfur issue is worth paying attention to, but it has not affected too much.
He can bring good works and let those who follow him have meat to eat. Naturally, there are a lot of people who hold his stinky feet. On January 22, 2008, at 5:30, the 80th Academy Awards, was nominated in Beverly Hills. "Kung Fu Panda" won six nominations for Best Animation Feature Film, Best Animation Short Film (Kung Fu Panda: Noodle Family), Best Sound Effect, Best Sound Effect Editing, Best Sound Music, and Best Original Script.
"A brilliant cartoon, the biggest surprise brought by Wan Xiaohu!"
"A cartoon that conquered the Oscars, giant pandas and kung fu elements, has entered the palace." (To be continued...)
