Recently, I saw that a turtle friend said that there was a business of raising turtles on behalf of a certain treasure, and if you go to the store to buy turtles, you can let the merchant raise them for you. And there are quite a few such shops. This is an oversight on the part of the editor. I know that there is indeed a turtle breeding business, and there are some businesses that do surrogacy, but I didn't expect it to be a treasure.
Of course, whether we are hobbyists or raise for investment, the purpose of buying turtles is generally to raise them ourselves. Substitution is generally aimed at turtle friends who have a tendency to invest, and enthusiasts don't raise it themselves, so it's still a hobby. You don't have to work hard and energy yourself, someone will raise it for you, and maybe there will be a revenue share. Isn't it lying down to win?
A treasure turtle shop has launched a substitute care service, which seems to have a variety of tricks, but in fact, it is inseparable from its roots. To put it simply, you pay for the turtle seedlings and choose the duration of the feeding, such as 3 months, 6 months, 9 months or 1 year. After expiration, the seller will be responsible for the sale and will share the profit with you after deducting the principal. If you choose to invest in turtle breeding, the breeding period usually starts from 2 years, and the hatched turtle seedlings will also be sold by the seller, and the profit will also be divided into 55 percent.
The core logic of this model is that sellers use private funds to expand the scale of breeding, and then obtain benefits by seizing the market. In the current hot egg turtle market, this seems to be a surefire deal. However, behind this glamorous appearance, there are actually many hidden risks. Investment is risky, this reminder has always been there.
First of all, the credit problem of merchants cannot be ignored. Nowadays, there are many online stores, and it is difficult to distinguish between the real and the fake. The substitution cycle is long, and if the merchant runs away with the money, the road to protecting the rights of consumers will be extremely difficult. It's a bit like selling turtle eggs.
Secondly, the turtle market is unpredictable, and prices fluctuate. Large investments can cost you nothing. In addition, under the cloud-raised turtle model, consumers cannot personally take care of and observe the turtles, and there is a risk that one turtle will be sold more than once. Even if the turtle is selected by oneself, it may be replaced due to blurred memory, which will eventually lead to low investment returns and even difficulty in recovering the principal. And I also want to ask, what if the turtle is raised to death? Do you want to come back, or is it the original one?
Of course, we can't kill all merchants with one shot. There are still many reputable big merchants in the market. After all, in business, reputation is very important, and long-term business is naturally good. If bad money drives out good money, there will be fewer and fewer reputable merchants.
Therefore, when choosing a substitute care service, we need to keep our eyes open and carefully screen to ensure that our rights and interests are not compromised.
I guess this is also a phenomenon that only happens when the turtle market can rise wildly. Chasing up and down has always been pursued by the public. When a certain variety is good, there will be players who want to become merchants, and merchants will want more money, and the best ones that do not have to pay interest. So all kinds of tricks emerge one after another.
However, in the editor's opinion, as a hobbyist, he would not choose such a substitute at all. It's interesting to raise turtles yourself. You say that you choose to raise turtles, so what's the fun of raising turtles? Let's not fix these things first, it's better to enjoy the fun of raising turtles and bring a touch of relief to your tired life.
