Every day is one step closer to reality

In front of the camera, the small reticulated python with red stripes on a white background chosen by Feng Yi was chosen as "koi color" by the director of the park.

The others had no objections and could more or less guess what the director was thinking.

Besides, the color scheme does look like a koi carp.

The six little snakes, whether they have climbed out or are still in the eggs, will be taken care of by the zoo's dedicated personnel.

The director of the park told Steve and Feng Yi, "We will set up a camera, and you can check the real-time status of the little snake you adopted through your mobile phone at any time."

Feng Yi still has a mission and cannot stay in Yangcheng forever. This arrangement at the zoo is very convenient.

Steve was reluctant to part with his "little tangerine" and even discussed with the zoo whether he could live in the reptile house directly.

And was rejected.

However, even if he can't live in the reptile house of the zoo, Steve doesn't live far away and can come and see his "little citrus" every day.

“These lucky little cuties get to enjoy a wonderful summer.”

“They don’t have to face the existential crisis of food shortage and habitat destruction, they will grow big!”

Steve wants to continue filming, and Feng Yi will not interfere. Some people who watched the live broadcast were squatting outside the reptile house of the zoo. Feng Yi found an opportunity to leave through the passage pointed out to him by the director.

Half an hour later, the park told the people squatting outside through the live broadcast room that Feng Yi had left. The people who were squatting did not evacuate immediately, and the self-media people wanted to find out more information. But what can be found is limited.

Feng Yi left the zoo while Steve was still filming the show. Instead of following the show crew, the director found several genetic experts to confirm the genes of the six little snakes that broke out of their shells today.

In front of the camera, he said "koi color" so persistently for the sake of variety show effect and marketing plan. In private, he still had to know the real genetic information and fill out the file.

The first five snakes were almost the same as those of the egg-cutting employees. Only the one chosen by Feng Yi was controversial.

"I have seen a [Super Fire] ball python, and the color distribution is similar to it, but the markings are yellow, not red like it."

"Obviously it's different from [Super Fire]."

"Perhaps there is a mutation in it?"

"You can go and test its genetic information."

As it relates to interests, the director is still happy to pay this fee.

At the same time as the director, another zoo that purchased snake eggs from the research base also had its eggs cut. As far as the director knows, a [Panda Pie] will be opened there today, and they plan to attract a wave of national treasure traffic during the promotion.

However, there have been too many pythons with black and white body colors in recent years. They cannot be considered unique or innovative, and they do not carry the label of Internet celebrities.

It’s different here!

The color of koi is unique!

Am I proud of such a huge advantage?

The principal walked out the door with his hands behind his back and his head held high.

They negotiated with the program team and will reveal the information about the six little pythons after the variety show is broadcast.

The program is kept confidential before it is broadcast, and everyone here has signed a confidentiality agreement.

Although the information cannot be disclosed directly to the public, publicity still needs to be kept up to let everyone know that Yangcheng Zoo has successfully hatched six more reticulated pythons!

These six reticulated pythons have different genes, different body colors and patterns, and there are surprises inside!

Of course, there are many business opportunities!

Opening the python box here today gave him a lot of inspiration.

Some things have to be arranged in advance.

Assistant Wu had already told him about Feng Yi going to the breeding room to look for his cell phone.

The python that swallowed the mobile phone will also immediately move to the glass cage in the new building, where there are tighter security facilities. It falls into the category that cannot interact with tourists.

In fact, most of the snakes in the museum are not allowed to come into contact with tourists.

The pythons selected to interact with tourists and provide photo services are all carefully selected by the park management to have the gentlest temperaments and have been raised since childhood. All pythons.

Venomous snakes will never be released.

In terms of employees, management still needs to be strengthened, and we need to be wary of those tourists who show off too much.

If something goes wrong, everyone will be unlucky.

It is not advisable to pass the blame to the snake, you still have to manage your employees!

The director is ambitious and cannot let his employees hold him back.

Training!

strengthen training!

Only those who pass the assessment can be re-employed!

Feng Yi returned to the mission team and continued his sea snake mission.

Two days later.

Feng Yi received a video call from the director of the zoo.

I haven't seen him for two days. The principal's dark circles are slightly thicker, but he is in good spirits and his eyes are bright when he speaks.

"There are two main things I want to discuss with you, concerning the little reticulated python you adopted." The director said.

"You say."

Feng Yi could see the movements of the little python through client monitoring at any time in the past two days, and also knew that the zoo had tested the snake's genes.

"The genetic testing company we cooperate with has given its relevant genetic information data. Several experts here have discussed it. There may be certain mutation factors in it, or some more complex reasons, which cause it to behave like this. Its body color pattern. We don’t know who its breeder is, so now, we have temporarily given this gene a new name - koi!"

It is easy to understand, and people will know what its body color and pattern are like at a glance.

"What do you think?" the principal asked.

Feng Yi thought it was okay.

The sense of immersion is very strong.

At that time, when he first saw it, he thought of the koi carp in his own pond.

"Okay." Feng Yi said.

Seeing that Feng Yi had no objection, the director's smile deepened, "Then let's settle it for now. On the file, its genetic information will be written as [Koi]."

Since the gene was named by their zoo, the director thought that the right to name the little snake would be given to Feng Yi.

"What do you want to name it? Steve named his one 'Clementine'."

"Let's call it Koi. It has a good image and a good meaning." Feng Yi said.

Such a delicate little thing, with some good luck, I hope it can grow up smoothly.

"Uh... do you want to think about it again?" the director asked.

Feng Yi thought about it for a few seconds: "Then add a small word, 'little koi'."

Director: "...Actually, Steve's one is called 'Citrus', but it's still young, so Steve just calls it 'Small Citrus'."

"Hmm." Feng Yi said he understood, but at the same time he insisted on his own opinion: "It's just called a 'little koi'. It will only be that big if it grows for another twenty years."

The director also wanted to fight for it, "This is a female python. Females of this species will grow larger than males. They can grow very big!"

Feng Yi: "Yeah, just 'little koi'."

To him, the current limit of the reticulated python is just like that. No matter how long it grows, it is still not that big.

"Okay." The principal said helplessly.

He seemed to see that many years later, the "little tangerine" had grown into a "citrus", but the "little koi" was still a "little koi", even though it was very big.

However, looking at the physical condition of the "little koi", it was not as strong as the others when it hatched. It is estimated that its final body shape will be quite different from that of the same period.

Thinking about it this way, it seems right to call it "little koi"?

The name matter has been decided, let’s put it aside for now.

"The second thing. We plan to design a batch of small toys based on their shapes."

Feng Yi knew about the zoo's cultural and creative products. When he visited Rongcheng Zoo last year, he even bought a golden python Niu Niu car ornament.

The director said: "We will make six egg-shaped blind box toys to let fans experience the fun of opening a 'python box'. They are the six you opened by cutting the eggs, and the six models were designed based on them. ."

According to the signed agreement, the zoo needs to inform Feng Yi when making cultural and creative products related to "little koi". If Feng Yi had objections, they could not proceed.

The director of the garden passed a plan and design draft to Feng Yi.

The design draft was drawn by a cooperative artist from the zoo, who knows how to reduce the fear value of snakes. The Q version of the baby snake has a very round head and spits out snake letters. Draw the body short and make a circle so that it can stand on a flat surface.

The colors of the eyes and body are based on the original shapes of the six little snakes, and the overall look is cute and cute.

The "eggshell" is close to the size of a goose egg and white. At that time, a "little snake" will be placed in each eggshell.

Looking at the details, the snake toy should be made into a plush pendant, which can be hung on a bag, mobile phone, or keychain.

"Steve just read it and he agreed. What do you think?" the director asked.

"Very good." Feng Yi said.

Like this, both Steve and Feng Yi also get a certain share, but neither of them care about this income.

As long as it does not affect the growth of the little pythons, it is equivalent to them earning their own living expenses.

"When will the sales start?" Feng Yi asked.

"You agree here, I will go to talk to the factory later. We have cooperated many times and it is quick to do. On the day Steve's variety show is broadcast, we will disclose the information about the six little snakes and open the blind box that night Pre-sale link. The first batch of pre-sale is 3,000 pieces.”

Feng Yi doesn't know much about this market, so he won't express his opinion for the time being.

The director said: "It's a pity that this year is not the Year of the Snake. If this event had been held last year, the sales would have been good." No matter how unpopular the image of the snake is with the public, it is also one of the twelve zodiac animals.

"Isn't this a complete set for sale?" Feng Yi asked.

"There may be more in the future. Hey, when the factory makes it, I will send you and Steve ten sets! Keep one set for yourself and give away nine sets!"

The director does not expect much money from this blind box. The zoo has many cultural and creative products. If it can stay active and expand its popularity, it will make a lot of money.

It's late again...

Alas, try to do it before midnight next time!

See you tonight.
