Speaking of Qatar, the holding of this year's World Cup can be described as making Qatar successfully out of the circle, full of sports cars, millions of cruise ships as dormitories, to hold the World Cup in the desert built a city and other local tyrants, so that everyone successfully saw the arrogance of Qatar! In people's previous understanding, the well-known Middle East tycoon city is only Dubai, and now it seems that Qatar is too low-key!
In addition to these facilities full of money, Qatar also specially leased China's national treasure - giant pandas from China for this World Cup. Although many countries have rented giant pandas from the mainland, this is the first time that giant pandas have been rented to live in the Middle East. Because giant pandas, as China's national treasures and endangered species, not anyone who wants to rent can successfully rent, every rental is conditional.
Can be rented or not bought, rental is conditional
In the more than two decades since 1957, nine countries, including Europe, the United States, the Soviet Union, and Japan, have received giant pandas donated by China, a total of 23 giant pandas, which some people call "panda diplomacy".
Since the 23rd animal was donated, China has offered to never send pandas to any country by way of gifts, but can accept "loans". The cute giant panda has successfully captured the hearts of foreign friends, and has been strongly loved by European, American and Japanese people, and after being exhibited in major zoos, it has brought great commercial profits to zoos, so countries have expressed their desire to lease them.
However, after all, giant pandas are China's national treasures, and if they want to rent it, not everyone can do it, and they need to meet certain treaties. The treaty reads as follows:
- Since it is a lease, there must be a rental fee, each giant panda annual rental fee is 500,000 to 1 million US dollars, and for the breeding and life of giant pandas, 2 each time from 2 rent, the lease period is 10~15 years.
- Before renting a giant panda, it is necessary to be able to prove that there is sufficient breeding capacity. Because giant pandas are not other animals, they can be fed casually, giant pandas have the title of "gold-swallowing beast", the requirements for living environment and food are very high, if there is not enough breeding capacity, but "unworthy" to raise giant pandas.
3. The prerequisite for leasing pandas is to develop a research program that benefits wild pandas and to assist China Panda Conservation Projects in obtaining appropriate funding.
4. If the leased giant panda produces red pandas, the red pandas can stay in the rental country until they are 3 years old, and the rental country needs to pay 600,000 US dollars, and send the red pandas back to China before they are 3 years old.
5. Once the giant panda is leased, the daily safety and health of the giant panda must be guaranteed, and if the rented giant panda cannot be returned to China intact, it will pay China 500,000 US dollars in compensation.
These are all conditions that must be met to rent giant pandas, and when the country that wants to rent submits an application, China will review them one by one, and only the country that passes the review can be agreed to the lease.
The reason why there are certain conditions for renting giant pandas is not only that giant pandas are a national treasure of China, but also because pandas themselves are an endangered species and need to be carefully cared for. At the same time, their requirements for living conditions and the environment are very high, and "feeding" is a big expense.
It is both a national treasure and a "gold-swallowing beast"
First of all, giant pandas have high requirements for climate conditions, like cool and humid climates, and the humidity requirements for the environment reach more than 80%. Therefore, the climate in many regions is difficult to meet this condition. Second, giant pandas do not eat everything like other animals, they eat only bamboo, and the only place where bamboo is rich is Sichuan Province on the mainland. Therefore, other countries leasing pandas also need to have the ability to fly fresh bamboo from the mainland Sichuan Province to supply enough food for pandas, so that the panda's life can be guaranteed.
Due to the low nutritional content of bamboo, pandas need to eat a lot of bamboo every day to ensure sufficient nutrition.
Throughout the day, the pandas are barely eating or sleeping. In addition, pandas must have special trainers to ensure that they can adapt to different environments.
Therefore, the annual cost of raising giant pandas is quite high, and even if they can afford to rent, they may not be "affordable".
Since the mainland began to lease pandas, the footprints of giant pandas on the mainland have spread to many countries. He has been to Japan, Britain, the Netherlands, Belgium, the United States and many other countries.
After going to the Japanese zoo, the Japanese people queued for several hours at the entrance of the zoo to see the pandas, directly generating tens of billions of yen in income for the zoo. The Dutch Prime Minister even went to the airport to personally pick up the pandas, spending more than 50 million yuan to build a "mansion" of more than 9,000 square meters for the giant pandas. Britain even used the panda to alleviate the crisis of division with Scotland.
This is why even though the cost of renting pandas and raising pandas is extremely high, many countries still request panda leasing from China.
In order to host the World Cup, Qatar also submitted a panda loan request to China this year, and China has agreed. Until now, the pandas have been living in Qatar for about a month.
India, on the other hand, tried to lease pandas from China, applying for lend-lease more than a dozen times in a row, but all were rejected. Why is that?
Qatar vs India
Let's analyze the difference between Qatar and India from different perspectives.
The annual rental cost of the two pandas leased to Qatar by the mainland this year is 7 million yuan, and the rental cost of 15 years is 210 million yuan. This rental fee, combined with the high cost of raising giant pandas, can be said to be quite a high expenditure for India.
In terms of climate, India's climate is always hot, which is not suitable for pandas. At this time, some people may say, isn't Qatar also perennially hot? Indeed, but in order to welcome our giant pandas, Qatar has "inhumanely" tailored a panda venue of 120,000 square meters for them, and the temperature, humidity and living environment in the venue are the same as where pandas usually live, which is almost not much different for pandas.
There are also regional cultural differences, almost no one in India does not know about the regional culture, in terms of security, it can be said that there is no wind to talk about. Whether it is the safety of people or animals, it is difficult to guarantee. Coupled with India's feared "holy water" --- the water of the Ganges, the giant pandas are afraid that it is difficult to bear.
Although leasing does bring certain benefits and benefits, if such a cute giant panda goes to India, I am afraid that the security problem will really become a hidden danger. Under such circumstances, not leasing pandas to India, I believe everyone can understand.
