Chapter 240 Little Koi

In front of the camera, the little reticulated python with red stripes on a white background selected by Feng Yi was decided to be "koi color" by the zoo director.

Others had no objection and could more or less guess the zoo director's thoughts.

Besides, this color combination really looks like koi.

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

The zoo director said to Steve and Feng Yi: "We will install cameras, and you can check the real-time status of the little snake you adopted at any time through your mobile phone."

Feng Yi still has a mission and it is impossible for him to stay in Yangcheng forever. This arrangement of the zoo is very convenient.

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

Then he was rejected.

However, even if he couldn't live in the zoo's reptile house, Steve didn't live far away and could come to see his "little orange" every day.

"These lucky little cuties can enjoy a wonderful summer."

"They will grow very big without facing the survival crisis of food shortages and habitat destruction!"

Steve had to continue filming, so Feng Yi didn't stay to get involved. Some people who watched the live broadcast were waiting outside the reptile house of the zoo. Feng Yi found an opportunity to leave through the passage pointed out by the director.

Half an hour later, the zoo told the people waiting outside through the live broadcast room that Feng Yi had left. The people waiting did not evacuate immediately. The self-media wanted to find out more information. But what they could find out was limited.

Feng Yi left the zoo, and Steve was still filming the show. The director did not follow the program team, but found several experts in gene identification to confirm the genes of the six little snakes that hatched today.

He was so persistent in saying "koi color" in front of the camera for variety show effects and marketing plans. In private, he still had to know the real genetic information and fill in the file.

The first five snakes were similar to what the employee who cut the eggs said, but only the one Feng Yi picked was controversial.

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

"It is obviously different from [Super Fire]."

"Maybe it has a mutation?"

"You can test its genetic information."

The director is still happy to pay this fee because of the interests involved.

Another zoo that purchased snake eggs from the research base at the same time as the director also cut the eggs. As far as the director knows, there is a [Panda Pie] there today, and it is also planned to use the national treasure traffic during the promotion.

However, there are too many black and white pythons in recent years. It can't be considered unique, nor is it novel, and it doesn't carry the label of an Internet celebrity.

It's different here!

The koi color is unique!

Such a big advantage, am I proud!

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

They have negotiated with the program team and will disclose the information of the six little pythons after the variety show is broadcast.

It was kept confidential before the show was 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 they have successfully hatched six reticulated pythons in Yangcheng Zoo!

These six reticulated pythons carry different genes, different body colors and patterns, and there are surprises in them!

Of course, there are many business opportunities!

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

Some things need to be arranged in advance.

Assistant Wu has already told Feng Yi about going to the breeding room to find a mobile phone.

The python that swallowed the mobile phone will also be immediately transferred to the glass cage of the new pavilion, where there are more stringent safety facilities. It belongs to the type that cannot interact with tourists.

In fact, most of the snakes in the pavilion cannot come into contact with tourists.

The pythons selected to interact with tourists and provide photo services are the most docile ones carefully selected by the zoo from childhood. They are all pythons.

Venomous snakes are absolutely not allowed to be released.

As for employees, management must be strengthened, and we must also be wary of those tourists who are dramatic and pretentious.

If something really happens, everyone will be in trouble.

It is not advisable to blame the snakes, but we still have to manage the employees well!

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

Training!

Strengthen training!

Only those who pass the assessment can be reappointed!

Feng Yi returned to the task force and continued his sea snake task.

Two days later.

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

After not seeing each other for two days, the director had slightly dark circles under his eyes, but he was in good spirits and his eyes were bright when he spoke.

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

"You say."

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

"The genetic testing company we cooperated with provided its relevant genetic information data. Several experts here discussed it and found that it may have certain mutation factors, or some more complicated reasons, which will show such body color patterns. We don't know who breeds it. Now, we have temporarily given this gene a new name - Koi!"

It is easy to understand, and people can know what its body color pattern is like at first glance.

"What do you think?" asked the director.

Feng Yi thought it was okay.

The sense of substitution was very strong.

When he saw it at first glance, he thought of the koi 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 guys agree, I'll go talk to the factory later. We've worked together many times and it's quick. 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 for the first batch of 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'll give 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.
