Reborn in the 1980s: I made my fortune hunting wild game in Changbai Mountain

"A copy of the documentary?" Evan repeated the information Yue Feng mentioned.

"Yes, it can only be a copy. The original film is with CCTV! Even if you want the original, I can't get it for you!"

Even if it's a copy, I still need to ask a friend for help!

The director of the documentary film crew is also here. If you're interested, I can introduce you!

"The director was there too? The staff member who was carrying equipment during the opening ceremony today, could he be the friend you mentioned?"

"Yes, that's him! Xiao Weimin, Director Xiao. He's a professional director at CCTV, and the content in the documentary wasn't acted out! I need to reiterate this crucial information to you!"

"Great! I'd love to talk to him! I also know a little bit about photography and videography!"

"Hold on!"

Yue Feng stood up and whispered a few words to Jin Long, who was sitting on the sofa next to him without saying a word: "Young Master Jin, could you please call Brother Xiao over here? It would be best if he brought his equipment!"

"If we're organizing an exhibition, gathering some material for our interactions with foreign guests should be useful, right? These people certainly won't charge us for appearing on camera!"

Jin Shao had already figured out exactly what Yue Feng was thinking, and immediately got up to call for help.

If we could film some footage of communication and exchanges with foreign falconry experts in the documentary, it would significantly improve the final product and at least raise its prestige considerably.

About five minutes later, Xiao Weimin, along with Xiao Ma and another person, carried the camera into the lounge.

"Brother Xiao, over here!" Yue Feng called out, and then immediately began to introduce.

"This is Director Xiao Weimin, the CCTV director I mentioned to you! And these two foreign guests are named..."

Yue Feng introduced them one by one, and Xiao Weimin greeted the two foreign guests, along with Zhang Chaochao and a few others.

Soon, something even more unexpected happened to Yue Feng.

Xiao Weimin could speak English and communicate fluently with the two foreign guests.

"Uh, Brother Xiao, you can speak a foreign language?" Yue Feng scratched his head, a little surprised.

"I know a little spoken English, but I can't speak anything too advanced, though it's passable for everyday use!"

"Then, could you speak a little slower? You're speaking too fast, and the translation is a bit slow; I can't keep up!" Yue Feng said helplessly.

"Haha, you're the main character, I'm just here to show my face and say hello! Young Master Jin just told me that we really need to shoot some footage like this!"

Yue Feng nodded: "Since you're here, why don't you say a few words to them?"

There's something I need to discuss. This Mr. Salman has some doubts about your previous documentary! He believes that many scenes in it were staged!

Salman nodded: "Yes, I've seen the documentary, but a lot of things in it seem exaggerated to me!"
Ordinary gyrfalcons simply cannot do that!
If you directed this film, please tell me the truth about what happened!

Xiao Weimin grinned when he heard the question.

"Actually, the truth or falsehood of this kind of question is easy to test and verify, right? As far as I know, there is an eagle hunting demonstration this afternoon! The club should have made preparations in advance!" Xiao Weimin said.

"According to you, it's really true? That pair of falcons, along with dogs and hunters, hunted the deer herd and even attacked and killed the red jackals head-on!" Salman asked in a rather solemn tone.

Xiao Weimin nodded: "Actually, the real results are far more than these!"

My friend Yue Feng is a very skilled forest hunter. He has personally hunted at least several adult tigers and even made the news in our country's newspapers for capturing a mutated black tiger alive!
Xiaofeng, you should bring the newspapers and stuff to the club later and set up a trophy gallery! That way, foreign guests won't misunderstand!

"A mutated black tiger? Hunted with the aid of falcons?"

Salman only wanted to verify the authenticity of the documentary's content, but unexpectedly, more and more questions came his way.

The old problems haven't been completely resolved yet, and new problems have already emerged.

Yue Feng smiled and nodded: "Falcon did participate, but it could only play a harassing and restraining role. The main force was an armored black bear that was not yet an adult, plus my hunting team's hunting dogs!"

"That's quite an exaggeration. Tigers are the top hunters in the mountains and forests. How dare an eagle harass one?" Evan couldn't help but chime in when he heard this.

"In the eyes of us hunters, there is no such thing as top-tier or not! As long as the terrain allows, falcons, as an aerial suppressive force, can handle any medium to large-scale hunting scenario!"

In my hometown, the mountains behind our village are home to top predators like wild boars, deer, and black bears! As long as the hunting grounds aren't too overgrown, eagles can play a significant role in assisting the hunting team!

“Those thick-skinned creatures are like tickles to an eagle’s attack! I still find it hard to believe!” Salman shook his head again.

Yue Feng knew that no matter what, the other party would only believe it after seeing it with their own eyes.

He grinned and said, "I think there are actually quite a few directions that can be explored with the falcon in human hands!"

It can search for prey and signal to hunters to guide them.

It can also participate in hunting small to medium-sized prey!

My eagle has another special trick that you don't know about. I can show it to you live when I have the chance!
Although prey has thick skin and tough flesh, it also has vulnerable spots, which are targets that falcons can attack!
Your domestic hybrid falcons must have also tried hunting prey like gazelles or oryx, right?

Gazelles, or antelopes, are a typical medium-sized prey in the Middle East, with a weight range slightly smaller than that of roe deer.

Yue Feng had previously seen video footage of hybrid falcons hunting gazelles on the forum.

However, Yue Feng couldn't quite remember when the video was filmed, and he didn't know if it was completed later or if there were already successful cases related to it.

Upon hearing Yue Feng mention his dream prey, the man in the white robe said with burning eyes, "I had my falconer make a similar attempt, but unfortunately, it hasn't been successful yet!"

Although hybrid falcons are somewhat bold, they are not keen on attacking larger prey!
So far, the biggest goal is to unlock only one sub-adult desert red fox!

"Hmm? It's not unlocked yet! This thing isn't actually that difficult!" Yue Feng said with a smile.

"Not difficult? Could you explain your understanding? Although I have doubts about many of your achievements, I still want to hear your insights!" Yue Feng nodded but didn't answer the question immediately. Instead, he seemingly casually changed the subject to another unrelated question: "Besides falcons, you probably also like to keep hunting dogs, or even hunting companions like cheetahs, right?"

“Yes, I have at least several dozen purebred top-quality hunting dogs, but I don’t know what that has to do with the issue we’re discussing!” Salman said, looking puzzled.

Yue Feng continued, "After the hunting dogs grow up, they will learn hunting skills from the older hunting dogs. In Chinese terms, this is called learning how to hunt!"

If I'm not mistaken, your hunting dogs go through a similar process!

"That's true. Older hunting dogs that are getting old and physically weaker will act as teachers to teach new hunting dogs hunting skills!"
The instincts of a pedigree hunting dog, combined with learning from older dogs, allow a new dog to quickly master hunting skills!

"Yes, in fact, falcons can also learn certain hunting skills that are difficult to accomplish under normal circumstances using similar methods!"
In actual combat, birds of prey also accumulate hunting experience and learn the attack methods of their companions!

Among the main combat falcons in my hands, the Great Black Hawk and the Little White Spear were the first to learn to attack medium and large prey!

To be precise, the big black eagle was the smartest; it was the first to learn to attack its prey's eyes! Later, the little white spear learned to do the same!
Later, the other eaglets learned similar attack techniques after going hunting in the mountains a few times!
As for harassing other large prey, the principle is similar. As long as they are given a certain opportunity to grow, once one of them learns this skill, it can spread the skill to the entire familiar group!
Your hybrid falcon hasn't yet mastered large prey, either because it lacks courage, or it's simply missing a mentor falcon to act as its guide!

Upon hearing Yue Feng say that he lacked the concept of a master eagle, Salman immediately fell into deep thought and began to evaluate the situation.

A few seconds later, Salman looked up: "If possible, could my falcon learn the relevant skills alongside your eagle? I can pay you for the skills you learn!"

Yue Feng smiled and shook his head: "The reward is not a concern. If there is an opportunity, I would be very willing to help you with this, but the current situation makes it a bit difficult! I'm afraid it will be a little hard to do!"

"The current situation doesn't allow it? What do you need? I'll figure something out! This is very important to me. If you can help me, you will be my most important Chinese friend!"

Yue Feng pursed his lips slightly and replied, "It will take time! My falcon and your falcon have no basis for cooperation. If they make contact rashly, they will naturally regard each other as a threatening opponent!"
As you saw from the reaction just now, if we want to get to know each other and work together, it will take at least one to two months to complete the familiarization process! I'm afraid you can't wait that long!

Upon hearing the word "time," Salman's mental preparations instantly crumbled.

If it requires money or other quantifiable costs, he will definitely agree without hesitation.

But time is something Salman truly has no control over.

According to China's current foreign policy towards foreign guests, the control over foreign guests coming to China is still very strict.

To be more specific, you need to report and apply in advance when you arrive, when you leave, what you are here for, how long you will stay, and related itinerary arrangements.

Even with the assistance of a high-ranking member of the Communist Party like Zhang Chaochao, the relevant procedures are still very lengthy. This is not something that can be decided immediately on a whim.

“It’s not like there’s no other way. How about we leave these two hybrid falcons in China for now?” At this moment, Zhang Chaochao seized the opportunity to make a suggestion.

Salman paused slightly upon hearing this, and habitually shook his head.

These two hybrid falcons are Salman's most valuable and most prized possessions among his raptor assets. He would certainly be uneasy leaving the eagles behind if Salman went back home.

If something goes wrong in the meantime, they can just shrug and say sorry, and Salman will be completely helpless.

"Haha, don't be too nervous! Now that we've met, there will always be opportunities to exchange ideas later, right, Mr. Salman!" Yue Feng said very sincerely.

"If you can demonstrate the information you've mentioned on the spot, you will gain the permanent friendship of our royal family!" Salman said just as solemnly.

"Haha, wait until this afternoon! You might see the performance you're looking forward to this afternoon. I guarantee you won't be disappointed!" Yue Feng said confidently.

As the two chatted and seemed to grow closer, Zhang Chaochao wore a calm smile, but inwardly she was already nervous.

He seized the opportunity to change the subject, saying, "By the way, Xiaofeng, there's something I'd like to discuss with you!"

"Hmm? What's up, Brother Chao? Just tell me, we can talk this out!"

"I'd like to ask you, could you part with that grey gyrfalcon in the wild raptor display area and let me have it? Name your price!"

Zhang Chaochao deliberately steered the conversation towards the vase and the gray falcon.

Upon hearing this, Yue Feng glanced at the American and the man in the white robe beside him out of the corner of his eye.

The two men reacted with excitement when the translator mentioned the captured gyrfalcon.

Yue Feng understood the situation and said with a smile, "If you want it, it's no problem to give it to you!"
But I need to explain the situation to you first!
That's just a decorative creature; it's useless in actual combat or for breeding!

"Oh? Why? When we were touring with Jianjun just now, Evan and Mr. Salman spoke very highly of that eagle."

It possesses a rather rare plumage coloration, along with a very standard body shape and structure!

Upon hearing the words "vase," Zhang Chaochao was filled with doubt and quickly tried to understand Yue Feng's meaning.

Yue Feng grinned and shook his head: "It looks good, and its fur is perfect, but its personality is terrible! It's very neurotic and difficult to tame!"

“Nervous personality? That shouldn’t be the case. Gyrfalcons are relatively bold medium to large-sized birds of prey; they shouldn’t exhibit the symptoms you described!” Evan said seriously at this moment.

"Nothing is absolute! This grey gyrfalcon has a bad temperament, which is why I didn't include it in my breeding falcon farm!"

"If you really intend to buy, I won't ask for much. Just give me any market price, and you can take it!" Yue Feng said readily.

Yue Feng wasn't saying this because he genuinely considered the other party one of his own, which is why he was telling the truth.

However, at his current level, it's no longer appropriate for him to lie and deceive people.

Sometimes, playing your cards openly and employing transparent strategies is more effective.

Based on Yue Feng's understanding of Zhang Chaochao's personality, this person doesn't trust anyone at heart. If Yue Feng praises the eagle to the skies, he might become more suspicious and hesitant to take action.

Now that Yue Feng has openly revealed Ying's personality flaws, Zhang Chaochao will most likely assume that the other party is reluctant to refuse his request and will come up with a polite way of declining.

Then, this useless, decorative eagle can be legitimately and risk-free sold for a little money to spend. (End of Chapter)
