El Loco English (18/02/2012 ) El Loco means the fool. EL Loco就叫愚蠢的意思。 I always thought about that in May 2010 after a bird named Locco was the talk of the day. 我常常在想在2010年5月的一场拍卖会卖出的一只鸽子叫Locco洛可而这是今天要讲的主题。 The owner, Johan van Damme, had won national Brive with the bird. It was an easy race, strong tailwinds and 1656 pm 这鸽的原始鸽主叫约翰.凡.达姆获得布列夫国家赛冠军,这是一场容易的赛事1656m/m顺风 But I always say that especially with tailwinds you need good birds and this WAS a good one. 我常说在一场比赛如果是顺风你需要一只好鸽,而这只确是好鸽 It was his 12th victory. 这是牠的第12次获胜 In the past Japanese were after such birds or very occasionally Americans or the king of Ice in England Masarella. 过去日本人钟爱这个,偶而美国人,有时英国冰王莫查理拉 But it is well known that today nobody can beat the Chinese and a guy called Xing won the fight for the bird for 160.000 euro. 但是今日大家都知道没有人可以跟中国竞买了,有一个人邢先生他以160000欧元买下了那羽鸽子 Pipa had a baby of Locco and Xing bought it as well for 10,000 euro. Pipa有一只幼鸽,邢先生以10000欧元一并买下了 And Xing hoped that Locco would produce winners in China as he had done in Belgium. 邢先生希望这只鸽子可以像"洛可"在比利时一样这样在中国生出冠军鸽 ,However, the first couple of eggs were not filled, the following couple was not filled, he mated it with numerous hens but the result was always the same. No good eggs. 但是,第一次配对,蛋无形,下一孵也一样,他于是配了不同母鸽,结果都一样 Then Xing invited the Belgian vet Ferdi Vandersanden from Bifs to fly over and investigate the case. 因此邢先生邀请比利时的兽医生Bifs到中国给牠看看(可是不惜巨资的), He tested the sperm and it soon became clear. This cock could not ever have given babies.Understandably the Chinese claimed his 160.000 e back and also the 10.000 e he paid pipa for the baby with the fake pedigree. 兽医给这只鸽子,作精液分析,很快的答案出来了,这只鸽子是无法生育的,可以理解的邢先生要请求退还160000及那只10000欧元的假鸽 When van Damme said he could not get the money directly since it was on the bank everybody was relieved. 当达姆鸽主说,无法直接拿,钱在银行里,没有动用,所以大家放心了 It meant the money was there anyway and not spent on other things and van Damme was not broke. 这样就是说钱都在,达姆Damme没有花掉不会因此而破产 So Xing will get his money back. 邢先生将可以拿回他的钱 Pipa was the middle man and if they would have charged 30% as usual (which I do not believe since this would mean 53.000 e commission for one bird alone) Pipa would also pay back the commission they got. Pipa这个中间者说也会退还,如果他们收了通常30%(这是我不相信的数字53000欧元的佣金就一只鸽子) But what about others who bought babies from Locco? 但是其它人呢?谁买了"洛可"的幼鸽 Van Damme sold a bird that was not fertile and also birds with fake pedigrees. 凡.达姆卖了一只不会受精的洛可之子,一个造假的血统书 From Hero to Zero !! 从一个"英雄"到"零蛋"。 后言:如果鸽子说是造神成飞天抢地,冠军得冠军,当然鸽子有如此的价值,如果冠军无法生冠军后果如何。 找到邢先生的联结网可是笑哈哈的呢!http://www.saige.com/blog/wj3721/article-811073.aspx 。
