The meeting lasted for about an hour, and afterwards, Mr. Song returned to the zoo and informed Suming of both parties' final decision.
They would still follow the original plan and send the river dolphins to the provincial capital.
However, the provincial capital was willing to pay a sum of money, about one hundred thousand yuan, as a reward for the members of the special rescue and protection team who had performed meritoriously—in plain terms, this meritorious member was Suming and the zoo. They were using money to seal their lips.
Besides, after the river dolphins were sent to the protection center in the provincial capital, Yangchuan City Zoo could send staff to the protection center at any time to participate in the study, nurturing, and future wildlife release of the river dolphins.
"They sure are cunning to the extreme, sending people over there is just free labor for them," Mr. Song said, not entirely convinced.
