The moment Wei Kang recognized Zhang Zian, he instinctively looked at the two cats next to Zhang Zian. His heartbeat suddenly became extremely violent, and even his fingers, which were very stable when making specimens, began to tremble slightly. He ignored the Linqing Chausie and stared at the golden one, comparing it with the modern Egyptian cats and the cats in the ancient Egyptian murals that he had seen before.
It could not be wrong! He was very sure that this was an ancient Egyptian cat that had long been extinct!
Whether it was the size or the color of its fur, or the fascinating scarab pattern on its forehead, especially its squatting posture that looked down on all living things, it was just like the ancient Egyptian cat from two or three thousand years ago that was used to being worshipped by thousands of people in ancient Egypt!
He ignored the surprised looks of other people, threw away the demeanor of a professor, and trotted over. He couldn't wait to see this living fossil in the history of biology up close.
Dong!
He just ran a few steps and bumped into Zhang Zian.
"Professor Wei, long time no see. How did I meet you here? " Zhang Zian greeted him politely and used his body to block Fina. No matter how Wei Kang dodged, there was no way he could get around him.
"No problem, no problem. Let's talk later. Let me see your cat first." Wei Kang's eyes could not contain anything else at this time. His mind was completely occupied by the original Egyptian cat.
"No, no, no. Let's talk first, because your friend wants to drive my cat out," Zhang Zian pointed at Lü Mingyi. He saw Wei Kang and Lü Mingyi coming out together, so he guessed that the guest that the staff just mentioned was Wei Kang.
"What? Drive it out? No, no, no! "Wei Kang was so anxious that the blue veins on his forehead popped out.
"Ahem!" Lü Mingyi was completely confused. He didn't understand why Professor Wei suddenly lost his composure, so he coughed and said, "Professor Wei, what's going on? Do you know each other? Can you introduce them to me? "
He looked at Zhang Zian curiously, secretly guessing the relationship between this young man and Professor Wei. It was not like they were teacher and student, because from their interaction, Zhang Zian seemed to have a higher status …
"My name is Zhang Zian, and I run a pet shop in Binhai City." Zhang Zian introduced himself simply.
"Oh, I am the owner of this shop, Lü Mingyi. May I know what brings Mr. Zhang here? " Lü Mingyi said and looked at Guo Dong Yue, who was standing on the side. However, Guo Dong Yue didn't want to introduce himself.
"Your employee was right. We are here to buy birds." Zhang Zian still stopped Wei Kang. "But he said we can't bring the cat in. We have to leave the cat outside."
Lü Mingyi smiled apologetically, "Mr. Zhang, you know that it is the nature of cats to eat birds. If you let your cats in and something happens to them, it will be embarrassing for both of us... How about this, Mr. Zhang, your two cats are probably famous cats. I will ask my staff to help you keep an eye on them outside. I guarantee that they will not get lost..."
He waved at the employee from earlier and signaled for him to come over. In his opinion, the most expensive cat was only a few tens of thousands of yuan. Sending someone to look after it should not be a problem, right? This was because Zhang Zian and Professor Wei knew each other. Otherwise, Lü Mingyi would not have been so nice to him.
Before Zhang Zian could express his objection, Wei Kang jumped out first.
"No!" Wei Kang was so excited that he was incoherent. He waved his arms to strengthen his momentum, "They can't stay outside! If they get lost, who can bear the responsibility? "
Lü Mingyi was stunned. He waved his hand to stop the employee and asked, "Professor Wei, they are just two cats. Why do you have to do this? If you want, I can buy a few of the same for you... "
"Buy a few of the same?" Wei Kang interrupted him. His chest was moving up and down fiercely. He almost shouted hysterically, "Do you know how precious these cats are? Buy a few of the same? You can't buy them no matter how much money you have! "
"How is that possible?" Lü Mingyi was surprised and re-examined the two cats that he had just ignored. He owned a bird breeding base and was a bird enthusiast. Birds and cats were incompatible, so he didn't like cats very much. He didn't know what kind of cats there were. He just thought that these two cats were very beautiful. Apart from that, he didn't understand why Professor Wei paid so much attention to these two cats.
"Why not?" Wei Kang asked loudly, "All the birds you have here are not as valuable as this cat!" He pointed at Fina, "It's not the price, it's the value!"
Fina accepted Wei Kang's praise calmly because it thought that was the truth. All the birds in the world were not as valuable as Fina, even if all the people in the world were added together. Snowy Lionet heard Fina being praised like this. Although it was not a compliment, it also felt honored and proudly raised its chest.
Lü Mingyi was skeptical. He knew that Wei Kang was a very old-fashioned person. He didn't easily expose his feelings and never joked. It was absolutely rare for him to lose his composure like this. Therefore, from an emotional point of view, he tended to believe Wei Kang's words.
But from a rational point of view, he still held a skeptical attitude. Could such a small cat be more valuable than the total value of tens of thousands of birds here? Many of the birds here were extremely rare. They were all obtained through various legal or illegal channels at a high price. No matter how precious and rare a cat was, it was just a cat.
Wei Kang had been with Lü Mingyi for a long time. From the change of expression on Lü Mingyi's face, he understood what he was thinking. He smiled and said, "Boss Lü, do you know what kind of cat this is?"
"I don't know about cats," Lü Mingyi answered frankly.
"Even if you do, you don't know it." Wei Kang sighed, "This cat is the original Egyptian cat. It was thought to be extinct in the academic community. Do you understand its significance now? As long as its genes are extracted and compared with the genes of modern domestic cats and wild cats, a big problem that has been troubling the academic community for a long time can be solved. Is the origin of domestic cats ancient Egypt, or the Fertile Crescent in the Mesopotamia, or somewhere else … "
Zhang Zian was very happy when he heard that, but when he heard this, he was almost scared to the point of peeing! It turned out that this little old man surnamed Wei didn't give up. He still had the idea of using Fei Na as a test subject! Although Wei Kang's reason was very noble, Zhang Zian could not agree to it no matter what.
On the other hand, Lü Mingyi was stunned. He heard that Wei Kang was serious and didn't seem to be lying. Was this cat really that precious? He decided to be cautious. He would rather believe it than not. Nowadays, the online media was full of sensational headlines to attract attention. For example, "Shocking! A Living Fossil More Important than Peking Man's Skull Was Lost at the Gate of the Aviary "… Wouldn't he be in trouble?
