"Whether it's true or not, let's go and see together, Dr. Shu, maybe you, the top horse in Hong Kong Island, will give way to someone else..."
Guo Daheng smiled and joked with Shu Wen. You know, Shu Wen is very famous in the horse racing circles of Hong Kong and Macao. At least the horses raised by them have never been able to take advantage of Shu Wen's horses.
You know, as directors of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and horse lovers, these people invest a sum of money in their own racing horses almost every year to buy famous horses from all over the world.
It's just that these people put in a lot of investment, and sometimes they can get good rankings in competitions, but they always can't beat the horses raised by Shu Wen, which makes a bunch of old men very depressed.
"Guo Sheng, I'm not as good as you in real estate, and I'm not as good as Mr. Li in industry, but when it comes to playing horses, you are not as good as me, so you can't be convinced..."
Shu Wen laughed loudly when he heard this. He, Li Chaoren and Guo Daheng have been old friends for nearly half a century. He didn't have so many scruples in his words, but he was much more polite when talking to Qin Xuanbing's grandfather.
"Let's go, let's go and have a look. If Xiaozhuang can beat you, he will also give us a bad breath..."
At this time, how could these old people still look like they were when they were the leaders in the business world? They were just like a group of vindictive children. Zhuang Rui was dumbfounded. He was thinking in his heart, even if he told what he saw today, no one would believe it, right?
Hearing that these prominent figures in Hong Kong were going to watch the horses, people who were chatting outside also gathered around, including some female relatives. You know, in Hong Kong, there is no distinction between rich and poor in horse racing.
A group of people gathered around Zhuang Rui and walked towards the horse gallery on the east side of the villa. In order to prevent the people in the villa from disturbing the horses he had raised before, Mr. Qin specially surrounded this area and set aside a space.
A small open area allows horses to exercise.
When he walked to the horse gallery, Shu Wen nodded and said, "Brother Qin, your horse farm is really good. I can see that you are also a horse lover..."
In the mid-level villa area of Hong Kong, where land is at a premium, it is not easy to reserve such a piece of land. Of course, if you want to engage in activities such as horse training, you still have to go to a professional horse farm.
"Haha, it has been abandoned for several years. It was only after Xiao Rui brought his Zhui Feng that this horse gallery was put into use again..."
Mr. Qin said he was humble, but he was quite proud of himself. He had also been to the homes of several people present, but their homes did not have horse porches like his own.
The stable is actually not very big, and there are only two stables. However, each stable is very spacious and has a temperature-controlled air-conditioning system that can adjust the temperature and humidity inside at any time.
There are also two cameras that can monitor the horse's movements 24 hours a day to prevent the horse from getting sick without knowing it and not receiving timely assistance.
When Mr. Qin was raising horses, he also hired specialized horse trainers and nutritionists. The horses had to eat 3 meals of daily rations and 4 meals of forage a day, sometimes with some carrots, apples, honey, eggs and oatmeal.
The food expenses for a day of horse racing cost three to four hundred yuan.
It can be said that the monthly expenses of these two stables are equivalent to the annual expenses of many families. Although Mr. Qin is usually very frugal, he does not feel any pain at all when spending such money.
In fact, there are many rich people like Mr. Qin in Hong Kong, especially those wealthy businessmen who are self-made. They are often very economical in food, but they spend a lot of money on their hobbies without even frowning.
Just like there is a super-rich man in Hong Kong who is very fond of sports. He usually has very low requirements for his family and himself, and his food is not much different from that of ordinary people.
But this wealthy man spends countless amounts of money on sports every year. Just flying on private planes to watch football matches around the world costs an astronomical amount every year.
…
"Lulu..."
Suddenly seeing so many people crowding outside, Zhui Feng in the horse gallery became a little uneasy. After all, it had not been tamed from the wild horses for a long time, and it was still very wary of strangers.
After hearing the horse's neighing, Li Chaoren stopped at the door of the horse gallery and said, "Okay, don't come in, it will be bad if you startle the horse..."
Although there was some dissatisfaction in their hearts, those young people still did not dare not listen to Li Chaoren's words. Even the prominent figures of the second generation, such as Qin Haoran, all stopped obediently outside the horse gallery. Of course, Zhuang Rui was not in this group.
among.
Zhuang Rui took a few steps ahead, opened the stable and walked in. He gently comforted Zhui Feng with his hands and said, "My horse was galloping on the prairie not long ago. It's a little unaccustomed to being here..."
"Pfft..."
After Zhui Feng saw Zhuang Rui, he calmed down, but his spiritual eyes were still staring at the group of people on the horse corridor.
"What a good horse, what a good horse..."
"That's right. Look, the fur is light golden. I've never seen it before..."
"Dr. Shu, you have a way with horses. Can you tell me how this horse is?"
It can only be said that Zhui Feng's appearance is really outstanding. After seeing Zhui Feng, these old men all had looks of surprise and envy in their eyes. They wished they could replace Zhuang Rui who was caressing Zhui Feng.
"It's really good. This horse's coat is shiny, its eyes are round, full and shiny, its ears are small and pointed, and it can move flexibly. Its head has well-defined bones, its neck is high, its limbs are strong, and it stands solidly. It's really a rare horse.
What a good horse…”
Dr. Shu Wen indeed lived up to his title of Bo Le. After sizing up Zhui Feng, he said a lot of terms about horses. Zhuang Rui listened with great interest. How dare you see that there are so many things about horses?
?
Except for Shu Wen, although others could see that this horse was a good horse, they could not tell whether it was good or bad. So Guo Daheng asked: "Brother Shu Wen, do you think this horse is better or you?"
Is the new British thoroughbred horse I bought recently more powerful?"
"Let me consider……"
Shu Wen walked to the edge of the stable and observed it. In the meantime, he motioned to Zhuang Rui to open the horse's mouth and let him look at its teeth. After a while, he said: "This horse is on the prairie."
The captured horse may have good endurance, but for use as a speed horse, my British thoroughbred horse is more powerful..."
Although Shu Wen's eyes sparkled, he was not optimistic about Zhuang Rui's horse, because horse racing is different from ordinary horses, and purebred horses have a great advantage.
The so-called purebred horse refers specifically to a breed of horse whose ancestors can be traced back to three ancestral stallions. These stallions were transported to the UK from the Mediterranean and the Middle East in the 17th century, and went to compete with the stronger but late-maturing British horses.
Breed horses mating.
The result of mating is the birth of a new horse breed...the thoroughbred horse, and at the same time the birth of a new sport type: horse racing. It can be said that world horse racing was driven by thoroughbred horses.
Moreover, the physical appearance of a thoroughbred horse vividly displays the characteristics of a typical fast horse. The nervous system is highly sensitive and flexible, and the reaction is extremely fast without being manic. Surprisingly, the tendon of a thoroughbred horse is almost as resistant to copper wire of the same diameter.
The pulling force is similar or even exceeds it.
After hundreds of years of cultivation, it can be said that all tissues, organs, systems, and even biochemical reactions such as body fluids and endocrine systems of thoroughbred horses are specially created for racing.
You know, the current world horse racing speed is all created by artificially bred thoroughbred horses. There is no rumor that a wild horse has won a thoroughbred horse in an international competition.
So although Zhuang Rui's sweathorse is tall and even better than some thoroughbred horses, Shu Wen is still optimistic about the British thoroughbred racehorse he spent 30 million US dollars to purchase.
You must know that the quality of a racing horse also requires systematic training. This kind of training often starts from the horse's childhood to stimulate the horse's explosive power to the greatest extent so that it can increase its speed in the shortest time.
Raise to the limit.
Shu Wen observed from the horse's mouth that Zhuang Rui's horse should be about three years old. Although it is not fully mature yet, it has passed the best time for training. According to his experience, it is impossible to race horses at short distances.
Won his professional horse racing.
"Oh, I thought I could find a horse to beat you once..."
After hearing Shu Wen's analysis, Guo Daheng, who had quite a feud with Shu Wen in horse racing, sighed.
"Haha, you still have a chance, but... this horse is not good, even if it is trained now, it is too late..."
Shu Wen is still very optimistic about Zhuang Rui's horse, but unfortunately, the horse has lost the best opportunity to train it into a racing horse. If it had been trained from an early age, there might still be a chance to win him.
"Lulu..."
Zhui Feng seemed to understand what Shu Wen said about him. Zhui Feng hissed at Shu Wen angrily. Horses are the proudest of all animals. If Zhui Feng could talk, he would probably start scolding.
.
Not only Zhui Feng was dissatisfied with Shu Wen's words, but Zhuang Rui couldn't hold it in anymore. It didn't matter if he underestimated his buddies, but he would never tolerate it if he underestimated Zhuang Rui's partners.
No longer caring about his previous low-key thoughts, and patting Zhuifeng's neck to calm him down, Zhuang Rui said: "Dr. Shu, this is not absolute, is it? The living environment of wild horses is harsh and there are many natural enemies.
I feel that only in this situation can a horse's potential be unleashed.
I believe... Chai Feng will never lose to any horse in the world, whether it is a short-distance speed race or a long-distance horse race!"
Dr. Shu Wen was stunned for a moment when he heard this. He just judged based on his own experience and didn't say anything radical. But he didn't expect Zhuang Rui's reaction to be so big?
