Speaking of the Guinness World Record, the time can be traced back to more than half a century ago, at a hunting competition in County Wexford, England.

Hunting has been regarded as a traditional "aristocratic" sport by the British upper class since the Middle Ages. During the hunting process, every link is extremely particular, including the selection of horses, the breed of hounds, hunting rifles and marksmanship, and even the small details of clothing. Each part can reflect the style of a traditional aristocrat. Being able to successfully hold a hunting event or to make a big splash in hunting activities are things that traditional aristocrats are proud of.

Since the early 19th century, capitalism has flourished, and traditional aristocrats have gradually lost their voice, but the old aristocrats with proud bloodlines still look down on the newly emerging nouveau riche who have money but lack background. Therefore, in activities such as hunting and gatherings, the new and old factions often compete with each other.

Sir Hugh Beaver, the executive director of Guinness Brewing Company, is a typical "nouveau riche" in the eyes of the old aristocrats.

At this time, Sir Hugh Beaver's hunting rifle was aimed at a golden plover resting in the reeds more than 40 yards away. Seven or eight Labrador retrievers were quietly lying beside him, waiting for their master to shoot and hit the target. These obedient hounds would rush forward and capture the poor golden plover.

"Bang..."

The gunshot, a puff of green smoke, but the golden plover in the distance had already spread its wings and flew away like an arrow at the moment of the gunshot.

Sir Hubiefu missed the target, his face slightly reddened, and he muttered, "Oh my God! The golden plover is simply the fastest bird in the world. I bet no hunter can hit a golden plover at forty yards!"

"Haha, my dear sir, the golden plover is not the fastest bird!"

The speaker was a white-haired earl not far away. The earl's family has a long history that can be traced back to the Georgian era. He is a typical old aristocrat. He pointed to a grouse he had just hunted and laughed loudly at Hubiefu, "Grouse is the fastest bird in the world! Maybe you are only concerned with making money and ignore the most basic biology learning!"

Sir Hubiefu looked a little embarrassed. What he said just now was just a casual remark. To be honest, he really didn't know what the fastest bird in the world was.

However, in this situation, Hubiefer was unwilling to be ridiculed by the earl who had been eliminated by history. He said with some displeasure: "Earl Warren, you said that grouse is the fastest flying bird in the world. What evidence can prove this?"

"Haha, this does not need to be proved. Our ancestors have proved it in thousands of years of hunting activities. All the old nobles who often participate in hunting know this clearly." Earl Warren laughed.

So, in this hunting competition, Earl Warren won the so-called dignity, and the shrewd Sir Hubiefer found business opportunities from this ridicule after the competition!

If there is a book in the world that can answer the question of "what is the real world's first", it will definitely be very popular!

So, the "Guinness World Records" magazine named after the Guinness Beer Company began to be established. In just half a year, it became one of the most popular magazines in continental Europe.

After decades of development, the Guinness World Records has influenced the whole world, and "Guinness" has also grown from a small magazine to a huge international organization.

To a certain extent, the Guinness Records organization itself is a world's first.

In the 1990s, the Guinness World Records was introduced to China. In China, a country where everyone loves to watch the excitement and compare with each other, Guinness has always received considerable attention.

A super giant salamander can certainly attract many tourists, but if this giant salamander has the halo of "world's first", the economic benefits and political influence it can bring will definitely be worlds apart.

In addition to the giant salamander, Su Ming now has the Tai Sui that can apply for the Guinness.

According to current records, the Tai Sui he has is about two or three times larger than the largest Tai Sui currently!

However, Su Ming is not going to let the Tai Sui be exposed too early, and even for a long time, he will not let anyone know that he has such a Tai Sui.

First, it is for his own safety.

The financial backers behind the poachers of Boss He spent so much money, and they should want this Tai Sui. Once the Tai Sui is exposed, it will inevitably cause trouble.

Su Ming doesn't think that he has the strength to fight against a sponsor who can easily pay millions of dollars for labor and organize an armed theft team;

Second, it is from an economic perspective.

The research value of the Tai Sui is much higher than that of the giant panda and the giant salamander. Once it is exposed, it may attract government intervention or even direct levy.

Although some Tai Sui are preserved by the people and can be sold, and even make a lot of money, that is because those Tai Sui are generally about a hundred years old and not valuable, so the government is too lazy to care. The largest Tai Sui in the world is currently preserved in the national exhibition hall, so Su Ming has to be on guard to prevent someone from coming and saying: Leave it to the country...

There is no such concern for the giant salamander. Although the country prohibits the killing, sale, and consumption of wild giant salamanders, it does not prohibit private breeding. Artificial breeding of more than two generations of giant salamanders can be used for sale and consumption.

The world's largest giant salamander is currently in the hands of a private company in China. It is also used as a breeding fish. It has been breeding for many years and has made a lot of money for the company.

If nothing unexpected happens, this giant salamander should be similar to Zhao Yun's antiques. The ownership belongs to him, but he must protect it well and cannot sell or slaughter it.

So I told Zhao Yun about the giant salamander. Zhao Yun was also quite interested and said, "It's very simple to apply for Guinness now. You can just fill in the form and pay the fee on their Chinese website. Hey, let me ask you, is this fish from your zoo or yours?"

"It's mine." Su Ming said.

"That's good. If there is a chance in the future, get another female to pair up and try to see if it can lay eggs. The economic value of giant salamanders is not bad. I will help you make contacts and it should be able to sell for a good price." Zhao Yun smiled.

Regarding the breeding of giant salamanders, Su Ming actually checked the Internet. In the past few years, a kilogram of giant salamanders sold for two or three thousand in restaurants, and the farmers sold them directly for thousands. However, in the past two years, the state has been strict, and many high-end consumption has disappeared, and the price of giant salamanders has plummeted to two or three hundred. Even so, it is still much more valuable than the four major carps.

"I'll try if I have a chance." Su Ming also smiled. There is no rush to breed it now. The old giant salamander has been single for one or two hundred years. There is no rush to find a wife. Let's apply for the Guinness record first.
