Chapter 148 Fireworks in the World

Chapter 148 Fireworks in the World

After hanging out in the bar for half an hour with a bottle of beer, Zhang Chi walked out of the bar, tightened his coat and came to the stake holding Chiyan Mountain. He untied the horse's reins and patted Chiyan Mountain gently.

neck.

Chi Yanshan snorted twice and kicked the ground twice with his front legs.

"Let's go home!" Zhang Chi got on his horse.

After walking about ten meters, Zhang Chi's cell phone rang. Zhang Chi took it out and saw that it was his sister calling.

"Hey" Zhang Chi answered the video.

Zhang Juan saw her brother outside and asked casually: "Where are you? Outside? Why is it still snowy everywhere over there?"

"I had a little drink at the bar just now, and I'm getting ready to go home. Sister, what's the matter?" Zhang Chi asked.

Zhang Juan said: "It's nothing. I just want to ask you if I can get some beef back. Your brother-in-law's old boss praised our beef after tasting it. Your brother-in-law wants to send some more."

Zhang Chi asked: "Have you finished eating all your food?"

Zhang Juan said: "It's not that we finished eating, but it was robbed. All the seven aunts and eight aunts of your brother-in-law's family said it was delicious. After eating, all the cousins ​​came to ask for it. Isn't it gone?"

This is normal in small counties. In big cities, relatives rarely interact with each other, and they are generally too embarrassed to go to other people's homes to pick up things.

But it's different in the county and in the countryside. People move around a lot. I'll get some from your family, and I'll give you some when my family has something. The relationship between relatives is much closer than in big cities.

"That's really hard to handle. Just wait until I get back. There are many passes for beef from here to home, and my brother-in-law's old boss and brother-in-law are not ready to be promoted. Who cares if he is an old boss or not?"

Zhang Juan smiled and said: "It's different. When your brother-in-law first started working, he was often bullied by some old people. The old man was very kind to him, and that's him. Your brother-in-law wouldn't look down upon others."

"Then you go home and take a look to see if your parents have any. If not, you can only wait until I get back. The transportation cost alone for this round trip is enough to buy 180 kilograms of beef in China." Zhang

Chi said to scare his sister.

Zhang Juan heard this: "So expensive?"

"Of course it's expensive. It's just such a small thing that goes through the customs of the two countries. Do you think it's not expensive?" Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Juan immediately said: "Forget it then, let's wait until you come back next time."

After chatting with their sister, the brother and sister hung up the phone. Zhang Chi put away the phone and realized that Chi Yanshan had already carried him to the gate of the ranch.

Just as I opened the ranch door and was about to enter, the cell phone in my pocket rang again.

"What's wrong today? There are so many calls coming in," Zhang Chi muttered.

I took it out and saw it was from Burris.

"I'm George Burris, what's the matter?" Zhang Chi asked.

Burris said hello to Zhang Chi on the other end, and then asked directly: "Do you know about the Mason Racecourse?"

"I know, I just heard about it in the bar," Zhang Chi replied.

Burris added: "I heard about it too. I just asked old Mason how much he owed, and I talked to the old people here on the phone to see if I could help Mason save the racecourse. He

At such an old age, if he loses his horse farm, there probably won’t be any place for him other than becoming a homeless man.”

"??"

Zhang Chi was a little confused and felt that this world was really magical.

He really didn't expect people like Burris to have such thoughts. It's not too strange for this to happen in China, because we Chinese have such a tradition among relatives in our hometown, but it is a bit strange in the United States.

If you move to a new community here, your neighbors will usually help you to integrate into the community better. Of course, this refers to a middle-class community. In a poor community, there may be neighbors who will be jealous of you and punish you.

There are some too.

But after helping you, the neighbors usually won't care about you. Each family lives their own life. The relationship between neighbors is very weak, and there is very little financial interaction.

The old Mason Racecourse is bankrupt. What Zhang Chi is thinking about is bankruptcy. What can we do?

But now Burris and others are trying to find ways to help Old Mason save this racecourse, which makes Zhang Chi feel that there is a little warmth in the world.

Life is like this. Sometimes ordinary little people often burst out with the brilliance of humanity, making you feel that the world is not as cold as you imagined.

"Are you listening? George, George!"

Burris at the other end heard that there was no movement from Zhang Chi for a long time, so he started to take pictures of his cell phone and blew into the sound port of the cell phone.

"Listen, what are you going to do?" Zhang Chi asked.

"It's hard to say now. If you are free, come to my house now, and I will contact other ranchers. Let's discuss it together and see how we can help Mason," Burris said.

Zhang Chi asked: "Now?"

"Well, now, what's wrong with you?"

"I'm fine. I'll ride over in a moment."

Zhang Chi was very curious when he heard this, so he dragged Chi Yanshan out of the pasture and rode him along the horse track to Burris' house.

When he arrived at Burris's house, Zhang Chi found that many small and medium-sized ranchers nearby were here, and dozens of people crowded Burkisga's living room.

A group of old guys were sitting on the sofa in the middle of the hall, and Mason was also sitting there at the moment.

Zhang Chi turned around and found that he was not in the good neighbor. With his temperament of wanting to integrate into Amber's circle, he would definitely show up if someone invited him.

As for whether he hasn't come yet, it's unlikely. People like Zhang Chi are here on horseback, so there's no way he can't come. He must not be invited.

Zhang Chi felt a little more relaxed without seeing this miserable American. Otherwise, he would have felt a little nauseous. There was nothing I could do about it, acting like bedfellows was indeed a bit tiring.

"George, George".

Everyone saw Zhang Chi coming in and greeted Zhang Chi casually.

After greeting everyone, Zhang Chi took off his cowboy hat, took off his coat, and casually placed it on the chair at the door before entering the living room.

He found that Serriol and Nell were chatting together, so Zhang Chi walked over.

"George"

Nell smiled at Zhang Chi.

Zhang Chi asked in a low voice: "What are we talking about?"

"What else can we talk about? Mason Racecourse," Serior said.

"What are you going to do?" Zhang Chi said.

Zhang Chi was thinking about this on the way. From his point of view, what else could he do? It was for everyone to pool money to solve the financial problems of Mason Racecourse.

The most important thing about Mason Ranch now is that there is an upcoming loan that cannot be paid. The bank will not be merciful to you. If you are overdue for one day, these guys will count up your property and sell it, and they will not care.

Whether you will end up on the street, whether you will freeze to death in this heavy snow, they only care about two words: pay back the money!

From what Zhang Chi heard in the bar, the loan was actually not much, about US$100,000.

But this is a bit ridiculous. One hundred thousand dollars is not much. It is estimated that less than half of the average American family can afford tens of thousands of dollars.

It is only now that Zhang Chi has made money that he feels that one hundred thousand US dollars is not much.

"Isn't this being discussed? There are two ways now. One is for everyone to see what they need at Mason Racecourse and pay to buy it. Then Mason can pay back the loan when he has money. The other is for everyone to

A contract to entrust horse training to Mason Racecourse. If there is a contract, Mason can take out another loan and repay the previous loan..."

Serior said.

Nell whispered at this time: "If old Mason continues to be stubborn, it will only be a matter of time before he loses the racecourse. With his level of horse training, as long as he does not get into trouble, there is no problem in running a racecourse."

Who in town doesn't know about this?

The key to Jian is whether old Mason can turn this corner. If nothing else, Zhang Chi has a deep understanding that the Chiyanshan horse trained by Mason is much easier to ride than the horse trained by Cannon.

After all, he is a professional horse trainer, and he is really not comparable to a cowboy like Cannon.

Zhang Chi didn't really care, but everyone was willing to lend a hand when old Mason was in trouble, which made Zhang Chi feel that such a thing was heartwarming.

Although he was not worried about such a day happening to him, he still appreciated the mutual help between people, and it also made him feel that in Amber Town, people were not as ordinary as he thought.

So Zhang Chi decided to help Mason at this moment, but this kind of help is not a standout. Let's see what everyone is going to do. He can just go with the flow.

At this moment, Burris stood up and clapped his hands to draw everyone's attention to himself.

"Neighbors, let's do this. The day after tomorrow, there will be a sale at the Mason Racecourse. Let's go see what you like and need. If you need anything, please donate generously. The few of us..."

Having said this, Burris made an imaginary circle with his hand: "We are going to collect shares to buy Mason's Red Tank, and give Mason a training contract. In this case, in the second half of this year, Red Tank will

Then we can participate in the competition and God bless us to make a lot of money."

It’s easy to understand what Burris meant. A few of them had bought shares in Mason. A horse he owned was originally owned by Mason alone, and became a joint venture. That is, everyone has shares. If the horse is in the racetrack,

If you win money online, several people will share the bonus according to their shares.

"Red tank?"

Zhang Chi asked Serriol next to him in a low voice.

Serriol explained to Zhang Chi in a low voice: "Old Mason's racehorse is a pretty good racehorse. It seems that the Burriss want this red tank to compete on the track."

Nell asked: "What are the possibilities?"

"Who knows?" Serriol spread his palms, looking helpless.

Who can guarantee that he will be on the field?

No matter how outstanding a horse is, it may fall apart when it enters the racetrack. In history, there are many highly praised horse racing horses, but their true colors are revealed after just one race. Many of them have parents who are both kings, and they are born.

Horse racing worth millions.

Hearing about horse racing, Zhang Chi couldn't help but tremble in his heart. He was not sure that raising cattle with gourds could make them very strong, but he didn't know if raising horses could make them faster.

You must know that strength and speed are two different things. Just like you can't let Shiva run a hundred meters, even if you let him go, he will only get ashes.

At this moment, there was a tempting voice in Zhang Chi's heart: Buy a thoroughbred horse and give it a try?
