Becoming Rich with Daily Scavenging APP-Chapter 660 - 300,000 Pythons

Chen Yiyang's idea is quite good.

Building a large entertainment mall for teenagers will definitely address their play needs in one place.

But this kind of mall is probably going to be hard to make money.

But it doesn't matter, I have money, build it casually.

Chen Yiyang plans to make up for his childhood. If he had such a place when he was young, he probably wouldn't want to go home all day.

After discussing with the accountant, Chen Yiyang is ready to set up a team to do this thing.

Just as a way to buy himself a big toy.

A few days later, Chen Yiyang's side contacted Wanda, and Wanda readily agreed to Chen Yiyang's purchase request, stating that Chen Yiyang could freely choose from Wanda Plaza, but the condition was to urgently loan Wang Jianlin a sum of money.

Chen Yiyang knows Wang Jianlin intends to pay off the current court-decreed debts to lift the travel ban.

Because Wanda is already running on empty, and now it's just relying on a facade.

The longer Wang Jianlin is restricted in travel, the thinner his facade becomes.

In time, anyone will be able to pierce it.

After signing a contract with Wanda, Chen Yiyang urgently loaned Wang Jianlin some money to lift his travel ban.

After dealing with the plaza issue, Chen Yiyang called Schaefer to inquire about the World Expo.

"I haven't been following up on it lately, but voting is about to start, and I have to go to Paris on voting day to stand by Saudi Arabia."

"Helping Saudi Arabia, not South Korea?" Chen Yiyang asked, puzzled.

"My contract with South Korea is about to end," Schaefer said angrily, "I signed a consultancy contract with them, and they paid me a salary every week.

This salary includes my wage and the PR fees for exhibition bureaus of various countries.

So the salary amount seems very high. But recently, the Koreans told me that my salary is too high and their internal audit didn't pass."

"So they kicked you out?" Chen Yiyang asked.

"More than that," Schaefer said, "they also demanded I return the excess salary, leaving me with only a small part."

"Haha." Chen Yiyang chuckled a bit unkindly after hearing Schaefer's words. Didn't expect this unlucky guy Schaefer to get swindled everywhere he went.

"Did you really return it to them?" 𝐟𝕣𝕖𝐞𝐰𝕖𝚋𝐧𝗼𝚟𝐞𝕝.𝗰𝐨𝐦

"Return it? No way, I directly left South Korea. They can come to Germany to ask for money if they have the guts.

These Koreans think they have the World Expo hosting spot in the bag.

So now they're burning bridges, really too much. I'll never go back to South Korea in this lifetime."

Chen Yiyang did guess the reason why Koreans did this.

One reason is that with Korea's Great Commander claiming they've secured seventy votes, Koreans have inflated confidence about successfully acquiring hosting rights.

So, burning bridges is inevitable, in their eyes, Schaefer is no longer a necessity.

But they not only decided to stop employing Schaefer but also want Schaefer to return the salary they paid him before.

Probably because from the beginning, hiring Schaefer and including PR fees in Schaefer's salary was illegal within the Korean processes.

After all, the salary they paid Schaefer was too high, and Schaefer's work results couldn't be well calculated.

So they planned to take the money back, lest it be seized by political rivals.

This really screwed Schaefer over.

Though Schaefer has always planned to serve both sides.

But he did help the Koreans quite a bit.

In the end, the Koreans turned against him now.

He fears being arrested to repay the money if he returns to South Korea, so now he doesn't dare go to Korea.

"By the way, buddy," Schaefer said, "Can you urgently arrange a batch of radio transmitters and a batch of realistic toy rabbit dolls in Huaxia for me?"

"What do you want these things for?" Chen Yiyang was momentarily unable to link the two items together.

But in the domestic market, many small factories produce such products, contacting one to send over to Schaefer shouldn't be hard.

"It's not for me; a friend in Florida needs them. They're having another outbreak of pythons there."

An outbreak of pythons?

How rampant could it be?

In Chen Yiyang's impression, snakes usually are active on the city outskirts.

So he checked the news: Three hundred thousand Burmese pythons sweep across Florida.

Alright, that's indeed quite rampant.

No wonder Florida doesn't support freeloaders; generally, few manage to live long in this city surrounded by alligators and large pythons.

With Schaefer's explanation, Chen Yiyang also understood why Schaefer needed these two things.

The issue of python and alligator infestations in Florida has been an old problem.

Earlier, North America's Great Commander announced activating a Crocodile Demon Island prison, with a total of five thousand beds, the island surrounded by alligators.

This island is actually located in Florida.

Florida has large swamplands, providing ample habitats for alligators to freely breed.

But for Floridians, alligators might just be a minor problem, pythons are more lethal.

Since once alligators leave the swamps, their attack abilities drastically decrease.

While rampant Burmese pythons in Florida could sneak into your home anytime and give you a bite.

Burmese pythons, as the name implies, originally live in Asia.

The reason they could travel across the ocean to America stems from America's own actions.

At the turn of the 20th century, the snake skin products trade was pretty hot, leading North America to start importing Burmese pythons from Myanmar.

Not just importing snake skins, but also live ones.

This led to observations of Burmese pythons from merchants settling in Florida's Everglades by 1912.

Though pythons reproduce slowly and need to adapt to the environment.

Hence, Burmese pythons didn't rapidly proliferate like rabbits did in Australia initially.

But heedless Floridians accelerated Burmese python reproduction.

In the 1970s, many Florida families believed rumors that Burmese pythons could only grow up to two meters.

Given this size, these snakes appeared suitable for pets to Floridians.

So they started abundantly keeping Burmese pythons as pets.

Yet, though two-meter Burmese pythons are common, many can actually grow four to five meters.

Four to five meters long pythons, their danger and keeping difficulty vastly increas, utterly unsuitable for typical household pets.

From the late 1970s to around 1994.

North America imported approximately 130,000 Burmese pythons.
