Zhao Yue and others were delighted when they heard Zhang Chi's statement.
After the training was over, it only took a minute or two for the disbanded team to go back to their respective jobs, while Zhang Chi and Zhao Yue went shopping together.
Of course, walking in the stables is definitely not possible, because the stables here are full of horses participating in competitions, or horses that cost a lot of money. Zhang Chi doesn't want to see the horses in the competition, and even less wants to see the horses that cost a lot of money.
Okay, these are horses that have made a lot of money for their owners. What do you want to do after seeing them?
You can't buy it back. How could Zhang Chi be such a stupid guy with the gourd in his hand?
I went to the novice stables and asked people, and Zhang Chi and others knew where to go.
I had just arrived in the West End and was about to enter the stables when I suddenly heard Mason's voice behind me.
"George, George, wait a minute."
When Zhang Chi turned around, he saw the old man Mason running toward him with a trot, panting while running, which made Zhang Chi feel that this old boy had learned nothing but formalism, so why are you panting for such a short distance?
Panting, are you afraid that our leader doesn’t know how hard you are working?
Zhang Chi didn't know that Mason was already looking for him.
After Zhang Chi finished his training, Mason arranged his work and came out to find Zhang Chi. He originally thought that Zhang Chi had gone to a busy place over there, but he didn't expect that Zhang Chi came to the stables here.
The horses here are all novice horses, that is, they have just entered the industry, or their results are not very good, but the horse owners still feel that their horses have only failed in one or two races, and will be possessed by Seabiscuit in the next race. Of course, so
I think most horse owners are poor.
At this time, poor people always have a lot of fantasies and hopes. I guess most people who think this way also know in their hearts that their horse will not be Seabiscuit, it is just a piece of garbage on the track.
Reality is always crueler than imagination.
"Can I talk to you alone?" Mason said.
Upon hearing this, Zhao Yue and others immediately walked forward with smiles and winks.
"Tell me, why do we have to talk like this?" Zhang Chi asked.
Mason said: "Renew the contract, you wouldn't intend to change stables after the Triple Crown between Great Secret Realm and Silly Big Wood, would you?"
"Oh, this matter, I really can't promise you this. Don't be nervous. It's not about changing stables, but this matter is now under Melika's control. Don't come to me about contract renewal. It's really not with you.
It's really her fault."
Zhang Chi saw the change in Mason's facial expression and said with a smile.
Mason was really nervous: "Aren't you perfunctory with me?"
"Really not, and if you can run for another year at most, what Melika means is that it's time to retire and become a stallion." Zhang Chi slightly revealed the two's plan.
For Mason, this result is not surprising. The bonus earned by a good dead horse is far more valuable than selling its body.
For example, Silly Big Wood and Big Secret Realm, even if they are retired now, a breeding fee is 40,000 to 50,000 yuan, which seems not much compared to the bonus. The bonus is several million, but if the foal is born, it will be powerful.
If you win a few G1 games, you will be prosperous. Breeding fees ranging from hundreds of thousands to millions are possible.
The rich man's pockets are almost overflowing with money. It depends on whether the stallion in your hand can attract their attention.
"Isn't it just one year away? Next, there will be the Breeders' Cup and the Pegasus World Cup...".
Yes, Mason pays attention to these games, and he is very confident in winning the games. Moreover, horse fans have high expectations for Great Secret and Silly Big Wood. As long as these two horses are in their stable, they will be alive.
Advertising is the kind that not only costs money but also has very good results.
Mason wanted to say something else, but he looked up and found that Zhang Chi was a little distracted, not thinking about anything, but looking at something. Following Zhang Chi's eyes, Mason spotted a very beautiful pony.
The pony has a very good body structure, dark chestnut skin, and a small braid on the top of its head. The rope that ties the braid is still green, that kind of gleaming green, which is very eye-catching.
"This horse?"
When Mason saw Zhang Chi's gaze, he couldn't help but his eyes lit up. Regarding Zhang Chi's ability to pick a horse, Mason was now very convinced. He almost felt uneasy when he knelt down without holding a stick of incense in his hand.
.
Zhang Chi was attracted by the pony not far away. This pony was at most two years old, but its body was very light.
Horses are the same as people. Some horses look like silly, big and thick trees at first glance, but some horses look like handsome young men at first glance, like the rich children among horses. There is something about them.
The stockings are thick...how should I put it, this is probably the style, or the temperament.
Now this chestnut pony is very eye-catching. Standing tall and charming, every muscle on the body and the frame show a sense of power and elegance.
Zhang Chi ignored Mason. Now this kid had money in his pocket. When asking for price, he was not like the people who bought Silly Big Wood and Big Secret Realm before. Although he pretended to be full of momentum, he was definitely empty in his heart.
Now the old chapter is already good enough. Didn't you realize that the horse in your hand has run well and is about to become a money printing machine?
After tugging at the corner of his clothes and straightening the cowboy hat on his head, Zhang Chi walked towards the man who was brushing his horse with a smile.
Nine times out of ten, men are horse owners, because horse trainers all have a certain taste, or temperament. It's hard to tell, but you can tell it after looking at it for a long time. Of course, it may not be 100% accurate, but you can be sure of it.
The man in front of me is not a trainer, let alone a jockey, because a man of normal height cannot be a jockey. To use unpleasant words to describe it, jockeys are generally like giant monkeys, about 1.5 meters tall.
With a weight of several dozen kilograms, think about how conspicuous it is. As long as you are not blind, anyone can tell the difference between a jockey and a jockey.
Why is it said that a man is the horse owner? Because if he were not the horse owner, he would not be so careful when washing the horse. The joy that comes from the heart cannot be hidden no matter how hard it is. It is not something that an ordinary assistant trainer should have.
Usually assistants will be lazy when the trainer or owner is away. Da Mi Jing and Sha Da Mu have also experienced such a period, so Zhang Chi understands very well that there is no money for no results, and most assistant trainers will
Foolishly, this is not an isolated case, but a common fact.
"Hey! Hello man".
Zhang Chi came to the person and said hello softly without extending his hand, because Zhang Chi felt that there was no need to be so formal and they were just chatting together.
"Hello!"
Looking up, a big face of an ordinary American appeared in Zhang Chi's sight. The man was about fifty years old. He was not young but had a good figure. He could tell at a glance that he had some money, but not too much.
They are the kind of people who live a worry-free life but have not made a fortune.
"The horse is good," Zhang Chi said.
"Thanks".
"Have you competed? How was your result?"
Zhang Chi asked again.
The horse owner replied: "I have run a few races, but I haven't run on the aisle officially, and my results are pretty good."
Hearing the horse owner say this, Zhang Chi knew that the horse's performance was not very good. Americans are not as modest as we are in China. If it were a Chinese person who said that the performance was not bad and had a smile on his face, he would definitely
It's not as simple as being good, maybe you can win one or two introductory tournaments.
But what Americans say is the truth. This horse’s performance in private competitions is average.
To be honest, such a horse has no future. Of course, Zhang Chi is not interested in its future. Lao Zhang is now the one who controls the appearance of horses. As long as the horse is good-looking and good-looking, he will get such good results.
Everything is easy to talk about.
Once the gourd pulp is added, even if it is a useless thing, Zhang Chi can get back the money he invested, so Zhang Chi doesn't worry about losses.
After the two of them chatted for almost five minutes, Zhang Chi gave the horse owner a shocking picture.
"This horse looks pretty good to me. Do you want to part with it?" Zhang Chi asked the owner while reaching out and touching the horse's mane.
The horse owner looked at Zhang Chi and said with a smile: "What's your price?"
Zhang Chi stretched out a finger.
"One million?" the horse owner asked.
Zhang Chi was stunned. He didn't react when he heard one million, because he was preparing to pay out one hundred thousand. Things like picking up leaks in the Great Secret Realm usually have a small chance of happening, and buying a horse for ten thousand has a chance.
Thoroughbred horses with blood purity certificates are definitely ones that owners want to get rid of in a hurry.
This was obviously not the case with the horse in front of him. The owner liked it quite a lot, so Zhang Chi paid 100,000 yuan.
That's right, classmate Lao Zhang, who is now strong-backed, doesn't offer as obscenely as before. The price is 100,000 yuan, and he has the temperament of a coal boss.
"One hundred thousand, one million, you are too good at joking." Zhang Chi shook his head and corrected the man's thoughts.
One hundred thousand Zhangchi is interesting to buy, but one million?
Then forget it, Zhang Chi is not a big fool.
Even if it is a colt, it is not worth a million to Zhang Chi. I have the gourd in hand and I have the magic horse!
"Isn't my horse worth a million?" the horse owner asked with a smile.
The horse owner deliberately raised his voice. At this time, there were many good people nearby. When everyone heard about the one million dollar horse, they immediately came over.
This may be the difference between top-level stables and ordinary small stables. For example, Mason stables, even if the workers are nearby, they will not come around because the work on their hands is arranged to death and they will not show up during work.
I just came here to watch the fun.
This also proves that it is reasonable for these small stables to not make big money.
"In your eyes, it may be priceless, but in my eyes, its appropriate price is 100,000 yuan."
For both the horse owner and Zhang Chi, bargaining is all about the horse. This is also the normal way. I won't say you belittle my horse or anything like that. You are buying and selling people. If you haven't realized this yet, that's not it.
Are you looking for a quarrel?
"NO, NO, NO! My horse is definitely worth more than 100,000 US dollars now. Come, let's take a look at its pedigree and its current performance...".
The horse owner started talking.
These things are nothing to Zhang Chi. He just fell in love with this good-looking horse. If he buys it and plays with it, maybe the Triple Crown next year will make his pocket a little bigger.
