The first is the problem of customer sources. This has to be operated by Naisen Company itself. Hong Tao has no interest in this aspect and is not sure how it works. It probably means promoting it in various high-end places in Europe, such as
Various cocktail parties, golf clubs, equestrian clubs, etc.
After you have a source of tourists, you still have to have prey for hunting. This problem is complicated. There are many private hunting grounds in Africa. These lands are private, but the animals inside are protected by the local countries. However, these countries hunt every year
These hunting grounds are allowed to hunt some of the prey within their own range. As for the number of quotas, each country has different regulations, but one thing is similar, that is, the more precious the animals, the fewer the quotas, and the more animals there are, the fewer the quotas.
The more hunting quotas there are.
In view of this regulation, the prices of these animals are easy to predict. The prices of animals with fewer quotas are higher, and the prices of animals with more quotas are lower. Moreover, due to the different countries where the hunting grounds are located, the prices are also slightly different. For example, in Mozambique or
The price of hunting an adult elephant in a private game farm in Zimbabwe is about US$25,000, while in a game farm in South Africa it costs more than US$30,000.
This price difference is related to the local living standards and consumption levels, as well as the facilities and safety of the hunting grounds. Some wealthy Europeans would rather spend more money to hunt in the South African hunting grounds than to go to the more primitive, backward and dangerous central areas.
African countries are going to take advantage of that.
With customers and prey, this industry chain has one end and one end. When a company like Naisen receives an entrustment from a customer, they will determine whether the prey in their hands comes from a source based on the hunting ground information they have.
Can meet the needs of customers. Once the two parties can reach an agreement, like Hong Tao and Naisen Company, and sign an agency contract, the hunting guide company will arrange the rest of the itinerary.
The previous content basically has little to do with the customer, while the rest of the itinerary will be closely related to the customer's hunting activities.
No matter how you beautify it, or from what angle you look at the continent of Africa, generally speaking, most of the areas there are still very desolate, very dangerous, and very mysterious. And the clients that the hunting guide company receives are either rich or expensive. In order to make these
The safety of customers and hunting activities are safer and more perfect. The hunting guide company adopts a one-to-one hunting guide strategy. To put it bluntly, each customer will be assigned a hunting guide independently. Whether you want it or not, this is stipulated in the contract.
of.
With a one-to-one hunting guide, the hunting team is not complete. In addition to the hunting guide, the hunting team also needs to be equipped with more than 3 local black trackers. Their task is to track the target prey.
Traces; more than one helper, his task is more complicated. Sometimes he is a porter, sometimes he is a cook, which roughly means assistant;
In addition, every legal hunting team in Africa must be equipped with a local forest policeman, which is also necessary, and one or two drivers. This is the complete configuration of a standard hunting team.
.
From the lineup mentioned above, Hong Tao feels that the tens of thousands of dollars spent are not too unfair. No matter whether you can hunt or not, you will not be satisfied with the hunt. At least you can enjoy the feeling of being a noble during these days of hunting.
, you can take a large number of your men out every day to show off and show off. Whether they are local people or local prey, as long as there is a safety risk to the customers, the hunting guides will help you block it.
Because there are provisions in this regard in the contract, if the customer's safety cannot be guaranteed, then the transaction will not be done. Of course, this has a prerequisite. That is, you must abide by local laws and regulations. If you go there by yourself
Damn it, then the hunting guide has no obligation to be your thug.
Now that we have a hunting team, let’s talk about the key point below, which is the rules of hunting. The training teachers of Naisen Company also place special emphasis on this aspect, because it is directly related to the customer’s harvest and the safety of the hunting team.
After these few days of study, Hong Tao realized that hunting in Africa is far from a simple matter of aiming a gun and pulling the trigger. The first thing is to be sure to hit the target, because hunting in Africa requires the hunter to kill the prey himself.
Hunting guides cannot help. They will only shoot out-of-control or crazy prey in critical situations.
And when hunting in Africa, if the prey you hit did not die at the time, but escaped far away, then you also have to pay for the prey.
Therefore, it is still necessary to have relatively reliable marksmanship and strictly follow the instructions of the hunting guide. Otherwise, at the end of this trip, it is very likely that the money will be spent and the gun will not be fired less, and all the prey will be shot.
After being injured, he ran away without catching any of them. In this case, the hunting guide company will not refund the money.
In addition, those animals that can be hunted and those that cannot be hunted must obey the instructions of the hunting guide 100%. For example, in Tanzania, there are regulations that male lions must be over 6 years old before they can be hunted in a planned way, because
It has lost the ability to mate at this time. For example, there are regulations in Zimbabwe that only male elephants with tusks weighing more than 40 pounds are allowed to be hunted in a planned way, while leopards must be more than three meters tall.
Regarding these regulations, the hunting guide company only requires Hong Tao and the three of them to be a little familiar with them, and does not require them to memorize them all. Otherwise, people like Boss Fat and Boss Liu, who have not picked up a book for decades, want to memorize these hundreds of regulations.
It’s really unrealistic that laws and regulations don’t last three to five years, but then again, how many people who can play such a high-cost game are willing to spend so long memorizing these rules, so they can only be roughly familiar with them.
familiar.
"It's done, we are all familiar with it, you should pay more attention, your young brain is easy to use." When Fat Boss and Boss Liu heard that these things did not need to be tested, they immediately threw them away, euphemistically calling them familiar.
It's over.
In addition to these necessary hunting common sense and knowledge, the most important thing Hong Tao and the others did this week was to shoot guns and conduct various first aid trainings. These are the two most basic hunting skills. The first one is
It is prepared for attack, and the latter one is prepared for defense.
A week passed in a blink of an eye. When the instructor from Naisen Company announced that Hong Tao and the three of them had all passed a simple test and could continue to perform the contract, Hong Tao, Boss Liu and Boss Fat not only had no surprises, but actually felt a little lost about hunting.
Got interested.
This is not surprising. If you get up every morning and run to the shooting range after lunch every day to shoot large-caliber rifles for 2 hours continuously, you will also lose your original interest in shooting activities. Everything will be the same.
What you want most is not getting it. If you make it your job, you will soon lose interest in it.
After this week's intensive training course, it happened to be New Year's Day in 2005. According to the date marked on the contract, the departure time of Hong Tao's African safari trip was almost here. Although they did not have to leave early and return late every day to participate in the training
course, but Hong Tao and the other three were still not idle, because according to the requirements of Naisen Company, in addition to paying sufficient agency fees, every customer going to Africa also needs to prepare some necessary personal items.
These items mainly include sunglasses, binoculars, photographic equipment, combination tools such as Swiss Army knives, headlamps or strong flashlights, at least one high-quality waterproof bag, insect repellent, medicine, sunscreen, toiletries, pens and paper;
In addition, the company recommends that each person bring at least 3 pairs of cotton socks and underwear, more than 2 sets of camouflage or yellow hunting clothes (one long and short), more than one warm coat, at least one wide-brimmed hat, and one pair of thin
Gloves (made of leather), a pair of gaiters, and a pair of sturdy hunting boots;
Finally, you are also required to check your visa, passport, copy of the hunting contract, traveler's checks, and cash, and take them with you. Cash is required, and it must be change of 10 US dollars each, at least 1,000 US dollars. This is as a tip.
To be used, if you are willing to give more, bring more, but it cannot be less than this amount. (To be continued, please search Piao Tian Literature, the novel is better and updated faster!
