I want to make a lot of money from alpacas.

What to watch: he has worked hard in Shanghai for more than 10 years and has an enterprise with more than 100 employees. Once attracted by alpacas, he returned to his hometown prairie in spite of public opposition. He was confident that he could turn alpacas into a big industry. How will he interpret alpaca wealth?

Autumn on the prairie is no longer the peak season for traveling to the prairie, but in this scenic spot there is a group of tourists who come to witness the elegant demeanour of a kind of animal. What attracts everyone is these alpacas.

Tourist 1: I am from Inner Mongolia, so I specially came here today to have a look at an alpaca base like ours. I have seen two or three alpacas. This is the first time I have seen such groups of alpacas. It is very good.

Tourist 2: I came to see it specially. I came to Inner Mongolia for it.

Reporter: where did you come from?

Tourist 2: I'm from Harbin.

Tourist 3: its eyes do not seem to have white eyes, black is very good-looking, big eyes. Particularly cute, cute, now the Internet buzzword, cute.

Among the excited tourists, a female tourist suddenly made a bold and intimate move-she wanted to feed the alpaca carrots with her mouth like this.

Tourist: come here. She likes alpacas. She really likes alpacas.

Reporter: aren't you worried at all? So close?

Tourist: don't worry at all. It's clean, it's not dirty.

Alpaca belongs to the family Artiodactyla, native to South America, mainly distributed in the highlands of Peru and Chile, as well as in Australia. The owner of these alpacas is Chi Haitao, who was introduced from Australia in 2013 and started artificial alpaca breeding in Inner Mongolia. In three years, the number of his alpaca species has reached more than 200. Chi Haitao told reporters that raising alpacas is one of the most important choices in his life.

Chi Haitao: I think I am in my 40s. I choose alpaca. This is the last career for me, that is, I will do it all the time. I will not do anything else. Just keep an eye on it, and it's sure to get bigger. This must be making a lot of money, making a lot of money, which is a bit vulgar, that is to say, it can be made bigger.

Interviewer: what's wrong with this?

Tourist: vomit her.

Yang Guoliang, general manager of a scenic spot in Xilamuren Town, Damao Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous region: the man behind was spit directly in his face.

Why do these seemingly gentle alpacas suddenly spit on tourists?

Interviewer: how does it feel?

Tourist: it's like being hit on the head by a pile of broken chalk.

Interviewer: what's the smell?

Tourist: the taste is the smell of leek, a pungent smell.

Yang Guoliang, general manager of a scenic spot: leek flavor.

Interviewer: when does it usually throw up?

Yang Guoliang, general manager of a scenic spot in Xilamuren Town, Damao Banner, Inner Mongolia Autonomous region: when they compete with each other, or when we are not sincere enough to feed it this delicious food, they have a little temper with each other, and then they will (spit).

Chi Haitao: all right, always teasing people not to let them eat.

Interviewer: what does this scream mean?

Chi Haitao: sajiao, you want to eat sajiao, you see how poor, quickly give it some to eat.

What business opportunities does Chi Haitao see in alpacas? How can he win wealth on alpacas?

Technician Song Yongxiao: angry, vomit.

When the reporter went to Chi Haitao's farm for an interview, Chi Haitao was taking workers to catch alpacas and examine the teeth of alpacas. The alpaca that was forcibly hugged was very angry and spit all the time. Spitting is the alpaca's self-defense.

Song Yongxiao, a technician: stop throwing up, stop throwing up, OK, angry, it is really angry.

Alpaca teeth are checked every year, and teeth that are too long like this need to be trimmed. After being spit many times by alpacas, Chi Haitao came up with a trick for catching alpacas.

Chi Haitao: when I catch it, I must first let it know that I am catching something else and not let it know that I am grabbing it. In fact, I am looking at it. You see, I caught it. The first one to cut it (teeth). Come on, look at its buckteeth first.

Interviewer: it's long.

Chi Haitao: did you get a lot of pain? Tooth cutting should be based on the situation. We check it once a year. If there is a long one in the inspection process, we will cut it. If it is not long, it will not be cut. If it is cut too short, it will also affect eating grass. The bucktooth girl has a temper. Reach forward a little bit. It's very uncooperative. Here we go. This is a very painful thing, just like a dental disease in life to repair, fill or extract teeth, it is a very painful thing.

Interviewer: but it didn't break free. How are the teeth doing now?

Chi Haitao: you see, it was a fangs just now, but now it has been cut off.

Interviewer: it's bleeding.

Chi Haitao: it's going to bleed a little, slightly. This ugly girl, hold it and hold it. When you catch it, you should pay attention to it and often throw up.

Technician Song Yongxiao: cheat, don't go.

In March 2013, Chi Haitao left Shanghai, where he had worked hard for more than a decade, and returned to his hometown of Inner Mongolia to raise alpacas. His choice was opposed by everyone around him.

Chi Haitao originally ran a medical device trading company with more than 100 employees in Shanghai. But in order to raise alpacas, he returned to Inner Mongolia alone, handed over his home and company to his wife and separated from his family.

Friend Wu Kaihe: you did a good job in Shanghai, why did you bother to go to that place? What are you doing running back to separate places?

Wife Jiang Changmei: the main consideration is too far away to take care of the family. I haven't been home for a year, and I haven't made many phone calls.

Chi Haitao: as a man, you have to do something like this. If you fall in love too much, you can't do anything.

Why are alpacas so attractive to Chi Haitao?

In 2009, alpaca was spoofed as one of the "ten immortal beasts" by netizens on the Internet, and became a star on the Internet overnight. Chi Haitao also noticed the alpaca at this time. In addition to the lovely appearance of alpacas, he learned about the economic value of alpacas on the Internet, which surprised him very much.

Alpaca is a kind of herbivore with both wool and meat, in which alpaca hair has the highest economic value.

Chi Haitao: it's warm. Touch it.

Alpacas can be sheared from one year old, once a year in May, and can produce an average of 3MUR 5kg of wool at a time. Alpacas have the best lamb hair in the first year, with prices ranging from $300 to $500 per kilogram on the international market. What's the difference between alpaca hair and wool? Chi Haitao made a comparison to the reporter.
