Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain
Chapter 308 You are a ruthless person!
Chapter 308 You are a ruthless person!
Ye Haijun: “Hello, Xiaofeng, right? Brother Tiger, so you are also my brother from now on! We grew up wearing the same crotchless pants, and he doesn’t look down on ordinary people!”
“Hey, Brother Hu and I really get along well! We happened to be chatting about Da Pi today, and he said you were into this, so I decided to introduce you to me on a whim. Brother Jun is young, so if there’s anything I do that’s inappropriate, please bear with me, Brother Jun!”
Yue Feng was very humble, but he spoke neither humbly nor arrogantly, which left a good impression on Ye Jianjun.
“You don’t look very old, why don’t you go hunting in the mountains with your parents and elders?” Ye Jianjun asked casually.
According to his understanding, Yue Feng was estimated to be no more than 20 years old. Going into the mountains to hunt was no joke. A hunter of this age was, at best, learning the craft from his elders at home, and was far from being able to lead a career on his own.
Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: “My family has been hunters for generations, and it has been passed down to me for at least three generations.
Now I have a hunting team. In the fall and winter, we release hawks and hunt small enclosures in the mountains to deliver live game ingredients to the coal mine canteen. Occasionally, we go deep into the mountains to hunt wild boars, deer, bears, etc. to supplement the family income! “
“You lead the team into the mountains to hunt by yourself?” Hearing this, Ye Jianjun was a little dazed. This was ridiculous.
“Well, there’s nothing I can do. My dad’s leg injury hasn’t healed yet! Life at home is hard, so I have to come up with a solution!” Yue Feng explained indifferently.
“My second uncle also likes eagles. Some time ago, his soldiers gave him a small rabbit eagle that is very good at catching rabbits and pheasants!
The old man is fine. He takes people to release hawks every few days. Sometimes he can catch more than a dozen hawks a day. Moreover, the hawks are extremely vicious and never catch any alive under their claws!”
Hearing this, Yue Feng’s heart was shocked, and he quickly realized where he had seen Ye Jianjun’s face.
Ye Jianjun and Ye Xiaojun, both have the surname Ye, so they are from the same family, right?
“Excuse me, does Brother Jianjun have a brother named Ye Xiaojun?”
“You…you know Xiaojun?” Ye Jianjun was stunned when he heard this, and the look in his eyes when he looked at Yue Feng was strange.
“If I’m not mistaken, the little eagle that killed your uncle was caught by me and I trained it too!
Xiaojun also came to my house with my eldest brother Zhang Hongbin, and I even took them into the mountains to hunt roe deer with eagles!” Yue Feng said calmly.
Hearing this, Ye Jianjun couldn’t hold back any longer and said in shock, “Fuck! This world is too small! The eagle training expert my cousin mentioned turned out to be you!!”
“Hehe, thank you for your praise. It’s just a little trick, it’s nothing!”
“Do you still have that big black eagle in your house? A blackened gyrfalcon is hard to come by. I have a way to get it out there and sell it to the dog owners in the Middle East to make a lot of money. What do you think? Do you have any ideas?”
When Ye Jianjun looked at Yue Feng again, his eyes had changed a little.
Originally, he was polite to Yue Feng only for the sake of his childhood friend Wang Hu. But now it is different. Yue Feng’s own abilities have won Ye Jianjun’s respect.
Yue Feng shook his head: “I won’t sell my eagle! If I sell it, I will never see another one in my lifetime!”
“Okay… After we have dinner, I will take you back to your house to see your eagle, okay?”
Seeing that Yue Feng refused without even asking how much the eagle cost, Ye Jianjun knew that the other party had no such intention, so he did not continue to pester him. Instead, he suggested going to Yue Feng’s house to see the eagle.
“That’s fine. It’s just right for you and Brother Hu to go over to our home and get to know each other! It’s just that the conditions in the countryside are poor, so if we can’t provide good hospitality, you guys have to bear with us!”
“Haha, my ancestors were also from the countryside. When I went back to my grandma’s house, the toilet was still a big dry toilet. What’s the big deal?
By the way, what happened to those two skins I collected?
That thing is found in the three provinces of Northeast China, where the big skins are produced. You only see a few of them in a year! Is it your luck? Or do you have any secret to catching sables?”
Yue Feng: “We don’t have many sables here in Fengcheng. A few days ago, I took an eagle into the mountains for a day and caught two. One of them was the top-quality golden and silver-inlaid male sable!
Later, I went to Lincheng to catch sables for breeding, and I was lucky enough to come across another one, so I got two!”
“How many have you caught this year? The probability of catching such a high-quality catch is so high!”
Yue Feng said slowly: “Including the time on the road, I have been busy for more than ten days. I have caught more than 20 fish this winter.
I slaughtered all the male minks, skinned them and sold them. The female minks gave birth to pups this season, so I’ll keep them as breeding minks next spring! I plan to build a sable farm later!”
“Fuck! You caught more than twenty by yourself? The sables are so thick?” Hearing Yue Feng say this, Ye Jianjun couldn’t hold it anymore.
People like Wang Hu only know that sable fur is valuable and extremely precious, but he has no intuitive concept of how rare sable is.
But Ye Jianjun is different. The number of mink skins he handles every year is counted in the hundreds or even thousands, and he knows more about the harvest of mink skins by grassroots hunters.
For a very experienced sable hunter, it would be very good if he could catch two or three large skins in a winter. Yue Feng was even better. He caught more than 20 sables in less than half a month. And from what he said, all of them were alive. “In Lincheng, there are several areas where sables spend the winter. The density is a little higher than here! I catch sables with eagles, which is different from their method of setting traps to catch large skins!
The efficiency is indeed higher, but I dare not do the work too well, otherwise I won’t be able to catch it next year!”
“Awesome! Now I’m convinced. That’s more than 20 sables. The income from catching sables alone in a year is enough to cover your living expenses!”
Ye Jianjun had heard of many ruthless people, but after being passed on from one person to another, it was unclear how much of their truth remained.
But the ruthless man in front of him is different. He is not even older than himself, but he can earn a million yuan by catching sables in just half a month. This younger brother introduced by Tiger is simply awesome.
“Hehe! I’m just lucky! It’s a small year in the mountains, so there are fewer preys and I can’t catch so much!” Yue Feng said modestly.
“Did you also make that grayish-white lynx skin?” Ye Jianjun continued to ask.
“Yes! That lynx was huge. After bleeding, it probably weighed more than 90 kilograms. My dad said that these creatures usually weigh 60 to 70 kilograms, and larger ones are rare!”
“What else have you beaten? Do you have any good stuff at home? I want all the high-end leather, and the price is definitely much higher than Lao Wang’s!”
“What prey have you hunted? Black bears, brown bears, wild boars, roe deer, sika deer, red deer, tiger cubs, jackals, wolves, and relatively common mountain animals. I have hunted them all!
By the way, we also killed two leopards in my uncle Zhao’s cellar! The leopard skins are still in my house and I’m reluctant to sell them!”
Yue Feng was quite calm while speaking, counting on his fingers one by one.
In terms of the types of prey he has unlocked, Yue Feng can definitely be considered a senior hunter. To put it in an exaggerated way, his harvest this winter is comparable to what many lone hunters have achieved in half their lifetime.
“What the hell, have you ever shot a leopard? I’m talking about the Far Eastern leopard, also known as the golden leopard, not the leopard cat, are you sure?”
Ye Jianjun was completely out of control at this moment. Who was this buddy introduced by his childhood friend? His achievements were quite impressive. Except for the Siberian tiger, he had almost defeated all the wild animals.
The Northeast Asian leopard is even rarer than the Siberian tiger.
Many people even doubt that this thing has already become extinct in the country.
Since the 1960s, it has rarely appeared. Only a small number of them are distributed in the Far East of the Russians. Occasionally, fur can be seen on the Russian black market, and each one is priced at a sky-high price.
But from what Yue Feng said, he killed two tigers at once. In terms of credibility and influence alone, this is more unbelievable than saying that he killed two tigers.
“An leopard cat is an leopard cat, and a leopard is a leopard. I’m talking about the golden leopard. That thing weighs more than 100 kilograms! It’s so long!” Yue Feng stretched out his hand and gestured roughly.
“Leopards are solitary predators. Did you encounter two at once?”
“Well, I was lucky to come across it! A female leopard with a small leopard cub that was not yet an adult! It was right over there in my uncle’s cellar on Woniu Mountain!
I had been planning to let them go, there are only a few of them, and it’s not easy for them to survive in the old forest!
Later, they wandered around where my uncle lived, and even sneaked into the yard at night. I had no choice but to kill them!”
“You have all the leathers. Do you want to sell them? How complete are they? If you do, I’ll take them all!”
When Ye Jianjun heard this, he believed it and didn’t even care about Wang Hu next to him. There was a longing look in his eyes.
As children of wealthy families like them, they don’t actually have much demand for money. If they want to make money, there are plenty of ways to do it, and many people are willing to give them money.
There is no need to do business at all.
However, the purpose of some businesses is not to make money, but to seize some top-level rare resources.
For example, the two large pieces of gold and silver inlaid fur from last time are now being sewn on the mink coat of the wife of a certain country’s top leader.
The same goes for the leopard fur. Things that cannot be bought even with money can show their sincerity and value more. This was especially true in the social context at that time.
Cheetah skins from the Middle East, ivory products from African countries, etc., all have similar tones.
Upon hearing the other party’s intention to acquire the company, Yue Feng did not intend to hide it. It would be good to keep it for appreciation, but selling it to Ye Jianjun now would be a good opportunity to bring them closer together. The value of this could not be measured by a single business deal.
“The two skins are both in pretty good condition. The smaller one was hanged with a deer sinew rope, so the skin is not damaged, with only slight marks on the neck. It is considered intact. The larger one had a bullet wound in the head and its tail was broken off, but there is no damage anywhere else!” Yue Feng said truthfully.
“The small one is 8,500, and the big one is 12,000! I want both!”
