Thirty all-black Mercedes-Benz vehicles went to Xi'an Xianyang Airport to pick up Tibetan mastiffs. After seeing the Tibetan Mastiff wearing a big red flower on his head, the rich people hurriedly took photos. This kind of treatment makes traffic stars envious. Times have changed. Tibetan mastiffs that were once priced at 40 million are now mostly wild dogs, flooding the Qinghai-Tibet Plateau, and even becoming part of Chinese food for diners. The New York Times once reported, "These dogs, once worth $200,000, are now sold to slaughterhouses for only $5 a piece and used to make hot pot ingredients and clothing. And the mystery of those enthusiastic Tibetan mastiffs has long disappeared. Some people cashed out and left the market, and even more were ruined. Zhou Yi, secretary-general of the Qinghai Tibetan Mastiff Association, revealed that as far as he knew, there were nearly a hundred businessmen who invested tens of thousands of dollars in speculation. When you get rich, you often encounter tornadoes. 140 million, whoever doesn't buy it will suffer. The ups and downs of the Tibetan Mastiff market are a typical history of speculation. The hype of Tibetan Mastiff is inseparable from three mutually reinforcing aspects, namely "making up stories, celebrities entering the market, and raising prices." ". Making up stories is to find selling points. Therefore, the Tibetan Mastiff was given a "novelty + patriotic" color. In the 1980s and 1990s, entering Tibet was still a difficult mission.

In 1986, Wang Zhankui, later known as the "Father of the Chinese Tibetan Mastiff", found the Tibetan people who raised the Tibetan Mastiff after two days of trekking. Unexpectedly, the Tibetans refused to sell the dogs and claimed that they would lose money from selling the dogs. Eighth life. Wang Zhankui went to the county town, bought items, and exchanged equipment with others for 23 Tibetan mastiffs. At that time, the Tibetan mastiff market in the mainland was not yet open. Wang Zhankui sold the Tibetan mastiffs to Taiwan and became a "100,000-yuan household." Smuggling is not a long-term solution. As the city's dog breeding regulations become more and more stringent, Wang Zhankui's dog farm has become unsustainable.

Wang Zhankui found the media and published an article "Looking for Tibetan Mastiffs A Thousand Miles Away." "Central Plains Listening to Roar" promoted the Tibetan Mastiff trial to more people. Wang Zhankui, who originally came to Tibet just to make money, became the first person in China to save and care for Tibetan mastiff dogs. The article was reprinted by more than a dozen newspapers and periodicals, and Wang Zhankui's name was given. With the spread across the country, the economic problem is solved. A dog is sold at a high price of 10,000 yuan. If you want to buy a dog, you have to pay 600 yuan for "information fee" to get the address of the dog farm. Next, at the roof of the world, a wealthy businessman from Taiwan buys a dog at a high price. Dogs that only know one owner in their lives, one mastiff and three tigers, rare dogs on the verge of extinction... there are all kinds of eye-catching words.

An adult Tibetan Mastiff sells for up to 200,000 yuan, and this is just the beginning. . Subsequently, the Tibetan Mastiff was dubbed "unique to China" and was given the title of "patriotism". Its status is almost as high as that of the national treasure giant panda. Among the pioneers of nationalism, one celebrity has to be mentioned. : Ma Junren. Ma Junren is the founder of the highly respected "Ma Jiajun". He once revealed on a TV show that he saw a very large German Shepherd in France. The dog owner told him that it was a cross between a Shepherd and a Tibetan Mastiff. He also said that almost all large dogs in Europe have the blood of Chinese Tibetan mastiffs. Unfortunately, Tibetan mastiffs were killed and eaten by the Chinese. Therefore, in Ma Junren's mouth, raising Tibetan mastiffs became the glory of the country.

There are good stories and celebrity endorsements. The value of Tibetan Mastiff has entered the "million era", but the bubble has not yet risen. To top it off, at the Second Tibetan Mastiff Expo in Shijiazhuang, someone claimed that raising one costs 1.2 million yuan. Someone once offered to buy it for 30 million yuan, but the owner rejected it. The most exaggerated one is Ma Junren. He has a Tibetan Mastiff named "Little Prince", and he claims that he won't sell it without 40 million! At that time, various Tibetan mastiff breeding farms competed with each other, claiming that the transaction price was millions of yuan. Secretly, there may not even be a transfer, but according to media reports, the Tibetan Mastiff market seems to be prosperous.

In 2017, the Beijing Youth Daily published an article titled "Tibetan Mastiff Economy Collapse, Tens of Thousands of Stranded Dogs on the Plateau "Disastered". In Qinghai's Goluo Prefecture, which only has 170,000 people, there are more than 14,000 stray dogs. Only. The local people believe in not killing animals, so they have to help temples and the government to take in stray dogs. As soon as the rice was served, it was swished into the trough and all the food was eaten up in minutes. The Tibetans who were not full would not leave for a long time. The third heaven and the eighteen hells have changed back, and the process of the Tibetan Mastiff falling from the altar is like the bursting of all bubbles.
