"Sharma?" Ju An turned to his old father-in-law and asked.
Marcos nodded and explained to his son-in-law next to him: "The bloodline is not very pure, but the mane has been preserved. The shoulder height of a real Shire horse can reach two meters, weighs more than one ton, and can pull five tons."
"This horse only retains the general appearance of a Shire horse. It should be a cross-bred heavy draft horse. It is probably prepared to win the best style award. In terms of speed, it is far behind."
When the old father-in-law mentioned that he was two meters tall at the shoulders, Ju An was a little stunned. Two meters tall at the shoulders and weighing more than a ton? Damn! This is like a little tank among horses. I really like it.
.
After staring at the big snow-white horse in the field for a while, the race started. Sure enough, as Marcos said, the speed of the beautiful tall white horse was indeed not very good. After running a few steps, he fell behind the other horses.
Later, when the other horses finally reached the finish line, this horse had only finished more than half of the race.
Then I watched a few games. Even old Taylor drove a sled to participate in the competition. The horse that old Taylor drove was an American pinto horse. It was going well at first, but in the middle there was a glitch. The horse pulled the sled and it hit the side.
On the haystack, he quit the game.
When it was the turn of old father-in-law Marcos to take the field, of course the family cheered enthusiastically. As soon as the starting gun was fired, Marcos shook the reins, and the brown Quarter immediately rushed out. The leading position was not much, and he was just half a length away.
The distance was maintained until the end, and Marcos advanced in this group.
However, the old man's luck ran out in the semi-finals. He collided with another sled and, like Taylor, hit the haystacks next to the track and exited the competition.
Ju An watched his old father-in-law come back with the horse and said quickly: "I'm not lucky this time. I'll try again next year."
Marcos smiled and waved to his son-in-law: "Every competition is like this. Besides, we didn't get nothing today. Nini also won a trophy." After speaking, he touched the horse's head next to his shoulder: "It's a really good horse.
"It's a pity that I spent too little time cooperating with him. I didn't understand a single movement just now. When I come back next year, I plan to practice with him two months earlier, and my results may be much better."
"Then you can take him home and train him for a year. It doesn't matter." Ju An smiled and looked at Marcos and continued: "Anyway, no one will ride him in my pasture. You can take him back and give him back."
I’ll save some fodder!”.
Melina, the mother-in-law, smiled at Ju An and said, "After I bring him back home, I have to get the fodder from your pasture~! Who in the neighborhood doesn't know that the grass in your pasture is the best?"
"Okay! Okay! Take whatever you want." Ju An said with a smile: "Our game is over, now go home?".
Marcos patted the horse's head: "Well! Go home, let's celebrate today that our Nini won the championship." The girl who said that held up her little trophy and cheered loudly.
The whole family returned home, and naturally had a good meal at noon. In the afternoon, Ju An checked the paint of the tree house, sat in the study, and turned the pen in his hand, thinking about the figure of the huge white horse in his mind.
I can't forget it, just like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman. It would be extremely uncomfortable if I didn't get it in my hands.
Then I thought that the horse was a bit too tall. Even with a shoulder height of over 1.8 meters, it would not be easy for an adult to climb on the horse. It would be better to be shorter, as Naughty Bags are a bit tall now.
Well, with a shoulder height of 1.76 meters, it would take a lot of time for most people to climb on his back without help.
I was thinking about it in my mind, and suddenly I had an idea! Damn! What's this ink mark? Why don't you cultivate a horse breed yourself? Well! The process of cultivating a horse breed is very slow, at least several decades, but bro
With the help of beads, twenty years should be enough. Twenty years will be the birth of the first generation horse.
His horse breed should at least be finalized. After thinking about it, Ju An grabbed the paper next to him and wrote down the requirements for the horse breed: long mane at the knees, well-developed mane and tail hair, a strong body, and two legs.
It should be thick and powerful, not too squeamish like a thoroughbred horse. Anyway, it can be said in two words: good-looking! It should make people feel cool when riding it.
After roughly writing it down, Ju An opened the business card book from the drawer. Originally, the business cards were placed on the bedside of his bedroom. In the end, Dinah couldn't stand it anymore, so she bought some business card books for Ju An and put the business cards in.
They were all sorted and placed in the drawer of Ju'an's study.
Opening the ranch-related book in the business card book, he quickly found the livestock broker's business card. After looking at the number, Ju An picked up the phone on the table and dialed it. After thinking twice, Ju An answered the call.
He said: "Hello! I am An from Xishuihe Ranch."
"Mr. Ju! We haven't contacted each other for a few years. Why are you interested in selling your cattle?" A hearty laugh came from the other end of the phone. The voice of the agent who helped Ju An buy his first batch of cattle was still the same.
So rude.
"That's not it! I'm just thinking about buying some horses," Ju An said into the phone.
"What kind of horse should you buy? Don't you have a quarter horse in your pasture? Even if it is a good purebred, who can be better than a naughty horse?"
"I want to buy some mixed-breed Shire horses! They shouldn't be too tall. It's better not to be more than 1.85 meters tall at the shoulder. They should have well-developed manes and tail hairs, and they should be of the same color. They should have a beautiful figure.
Yes, that’s the requirement. Of course, it won’t work if the price is too outrageous.”
"This is not hard to find. How many are you going to buy?".
Ju An held a pen in his hand and clicked lightly on the table. A few horses won't do. He bought dozens of horses at once and ran them around the pasture: "If it's not just a few horses, I'm going to buy forty or fifty!"
"Forty or fifty?" The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment: "This kind of horse can't do anything except pull things! Forget it, I won't ask you anymore, are you sure it's forty or fifty?
?”.
"I'm sure!" Ju An replied with a smile, and then joked: "Three or four stallions will be enough if they are beautiful in shape, and no more than five at most. The rest must be mares."
"Then we have to find this all over the United States, and the price will be a bit higher, about 10,000 US dollars per horse."
"You don't have to pay around ten thousand dollars. As long as it's a good-looking horse, I'll give you ten thousand dollars. If it doesn't meet my requirements, I won't get a penny at all."
"You can rest assured about this, I'm sure you will be satisfied with it." When I heard that a horse costs ten thousand, the person on the phone immediately laughed happily. A horse running across the United States worth ten thousand is worth it. Just any horse here in the United States.
It only costs a few hundred dollars, and Ju'an doesn't want a purebred Shire horse. The price of a Chongwan horse is at most two or three times more expensive than an ordinary horse. The requirements are high? Ten thousand dollars a horse, of course it costs that much.
Require!
After deciding on the horse breed, Ju An rubbed his chin and began to fantasize. After buying these horses, Doucao can be bred with them. The foals born at that time will continue to choose those with strong manes. This will last for several generations.
, that mane is long and blows in the wind, not to mention how beautiful it is.
After deciding on the horse, a few more days passed in the family's relaxed life. The Christmas vacation for ordinary people was over. During this time, Wang Fan's family also came back from New York. Ju An and Wang Fan were preparing to take their wives to attend.
Wu Ming's joy of moving to a new house.
After finishing the meal, Ju An pushed away the bowls and chopsticks and prepared to go to the biological company to take a look and meet some new scientists. Norman had already called last night and said that several animal husbandry scientists had arrived.
He has already settled down and asked Ju An to come over and meet him in the afternoon.
Driving his own car to the entrance of the biology company, it now feels a bit like a company. The old and dilapidated gate now has a brand new concierge. When he came in, Ju An even stretched his head to say hello to the concierge. He was hired.
It was an old man in the town. The walls of the warehouse were painted gray. Several windows that used to leak air were replaced with new ones, as well as the rest of the old windows. The large warehouse simply gave Ju'an a completely new look.
I opened the door and took a look inside, wow! The floor is now all made of non-slip brown floor tiles. When I entered the door, I saw a coffee shop with a coffee machine, an electric stove for baking, and a microwave. Several sets of brand new sofas leaned against the original old-fashioned brick patterns.
The wall looks very impressive.
Not far from the coffee shop are wooden partitions more than two meters high. The partitions are covered with large pieces of frosted glass. You can vaguely see the figures inside. There is only a two and a half meter aisle in the middle of the entire warehouse.
There was a white gate in the distance, and there was a stone wall over there. Ju An looked at it and estimated that the area behind the white wall should account for more than one-third.
Unlike domestic companies, the roofs are all ceilings, the warehouses are empty, you can see pipes of different thicknesses, and central air-conditioning openings are neatly arranged on the roof.
Seeing Ju An walking in and looking around, one of Norman's graduate students came over and said, "Boss! Professor Norman is still in his office. I didn't know you were coming so early. I'll take you there."
Seeing that the graduate student in front of him still had a coffee cup in his hand, he probably came out of the compartment to pour coffee. Ju An smiled and nodded to the graduate student. He was called Boss Ju An because these professors now include the professors they bring.
Several graduate students became the first employees of the institute, which means they were paid by Ju An.
Following the graduate student, we arrived at a partitioned door. The graduate student was about to knock on the door, but Ju An stopped him: "Go and do your business. I'll just knock on the door myself."
The graduate student smiled at Ju An, then turned and walked away. Ju An reached out and knocked on the door twice: "Norman! I'm An, can I come in?".
"Come in." Hearing Norman's voice from inside, Ju An opened the door and walked in. Now Norman has one more name: General Manager of Xishuihe Biological Company. Only Norman and Leonard are qualified.
, Leonard, an old man, was afraid of trouble, so Norman had no choice but to take on this burden.
Norman stood up from behind the table: "Why did you come here so early? I thought you wouldn't come here until after one or two o'clock."
"You haven't had lunch yet?" Ju An sat down on the chair next to him and asked Norman with a smile.
"Our dinner time is half past eleven." After saying that, he looked at the watch: "It's already been forty minutes."
"I saw that this warehouse has been renovated, and it's really interesting! You can't see what it was like before at all," Ju An said to Norman with a smile. (To be continued.
