Chapter 81: Choosing a Horse
The excitement of the Korean Peninsula for boxing matches was sparked in the final, with 10 million viewers and 5 million online viewers, setting a new record for both live TV and online broadcasts.
Park Jun made a lot of money in this competition, which made Wang Qingzhi, who worked with him, sigh with emotion: This bank robbery is not necessarily faster than this money.
The success of the "Peninsula Strongest" boxing tournament has sent the boxing tournament to all parts of the country as a business card of Snow Mountain City. In order not to let the venue be abandoned and not let everyone's enthusiasm fade, Park Joon took advantage of the victory to organize more competitions: women's boxing, lightweight boxing championships, and heavyweight championships.
In short, there is only one purpose, which is to let the people of the whole country have a game to watch when they want to watch the game, and there must be a fighter to vote when they want to bet. All this, Park Jun instructed Kang Shang to do, and he and Lee Wen-so began the second phase of their own plan: horse racing.
Horse racing has existed since ancient times, but it used to exist as an entertainment project for the royal family, and only the royal officials and nobles of the whole country are eligible to participate in this project, after all, looking for a common people's family wants to raise a good horse, just like raising a luxury car in modern society, even if you can afford it, you can't afford it.
At this time, Park Jun and Li Wenxiu took a plane together to the empire where the sun never sets. The purpose of this trip was to introduce seven thoroughbreds from the Sunset Empire as seed horses for the racecourse.
As soon as the plane stopped, the person in charge of Li Wenxiu's branch in the empire where the sun never set drove a high-end car to the plane and stopped, standing by the car with solemn hands, waiting for Li Wenxiu to come down.
Li Wenxiu took Park Jun's arm and got off the plane, and when he saw the person standing next to the car, Li Wenxiu hurriedly walked over and said, "Sister Ren, how can I let you come here in person? ”
The sister Ren in Li Wenxiu's mouth is the person in charge of the branch, a handsome woman with short hair and a black OL suit. She smiled at Li Wenxiu and said, "Of course, the eldest lady of my family has to come here in person, otherwise I won't let Brother Bingen say that I don't take care of you." ”
After speaking, the woman looked at Park Jun who came up behind Li Wenxiu with considerate eyes, and she stretched out her right hand and said, "Hello, I'm An Zhengren, Wenxiu's cousin." ”
Park Jun hurriedly held Ahn Jeong-in's right hand and said, "Sister Ren, hello, I'm Park Jun." ”
Ahn Jeong-in held Park Jun's hand, Park Jun also looked at her calmly, and Ahn Jeong-in said after a long time: "Yes, it's much more interesting than the rumors." ”
Park Jun smiled: "After getting along for a long time in the future, Sister Ren will have more good discoveries." ”
An Zhengren smiled and didn't say much, beckoned the two to get in the car and went straight to the hotel.
Ahn Jeong-in took Lee Wen-so and Park Jun and went straight to the largest horse farm in the Sunset Empire: Bruce Racecourse.
Bruce Racecourse, inherited for more than 100 years, has been focusing on the cultivation of thoroughbreds that never set the sun. In the past 10 years, the racecourse has gone abroad with 5 world's fastest horses rated by the World Racing Association. If you go back to history, there are countless famous horses, the most famous of which must be "Lightning Luke".
"Lightning Luke" was the mount of Prince Charles, the lover of the Empress of the Empire on which the sun never sets. During the War of the Straits, the War of the Rooster Empire on the other side of the Strait, Prince Charles was besieged by the enemy while he was comforting the soldiers on the front line. Since the enemy wanted to capture the prince alive, they did not use lethal weapons such as firearms against Prince Charles.
Prince Charles climbed into his mount in a fit of eagerness and ran towards his own zone of control. "Lightning Luke" was very fast, and the people who came to capture Prince Charles rode the most first-class war horses in the Rooster Empire at that time, but who knew that in the end, they couldn't catch up with Prince Charles after chasing for a long time. Although "Lightning Luke" died of exhaustion in the end, he had already safely sent Prince Charles to the control area of the Sunset Empire.
After Prince Charles returned to the palace, he greatly appreciated the "Lightning Luke", loved the house and Wu, so he also greatly admired the Bruce Racecourse, and for a time the dignitaries of the entire Empire where the sun never set were proud to have a famous horse of the Bruce Racecourse.
Although now as the automobile has replaced the horse as the main means of transportation, horseback riding has not been withdrawn from the stage of history, but has been integrated into the elite of society as a noble sport.
At this time, Park Jun, Lee Wen-so, and Ahn Jeong-in, accompanied by the staff of the racecourse, stood on the edge of the racecourse at the Bruce Racecourse, watching the horses in the racecourse run and play on the grass, and raised their heads and let out a long moan when they were happy.
The staff of the racecourse is an old man in a suit and meticulously combed hair, the old man's name is Jack, who has been working in the racecourse for more than 30 years, and is very familiar with the situation of the racecourse.
Old Jack pointed to the horse farm and smiled, "Now there are our best horses, all from our other horse farms. I don't know, what is the purpose of the guest buying a horse, I can help the guest to counsel the staff. ”
Park Joon held on to the guardrail next to the racecourse and said, "I want to buy a few of the fastest horses for racing." ”
Old Jack smiled and nodded, "Then the guest has come to the right place, we have the fastest horse in the world here." I'm here to introduce you. ”
Old Jack pointed to a few horses in the field that were grazing calmly and said: "These are the fastest horses in our racecourse, basically three to four years old, and they are at the peak of their competitive state. ”
Old Jack pointed to the horses running wildly in the horse farm and said, "These are young horses that are running now, and these young horses are all very potential horses according to the assessment of our horse farm experts." can be used as an investment in the future"
Listening to Old Jack's introduction, Park Jun couldn't help but make a difficulty, he was a complete layman for horses, how to choose? Park Jun turned his head and asked, "Wenxiu, what do you think?"
Li Wenxiu smiled: "There is an expert standing next to you, you ask me, don't I have an axe from the class?"
An Zhengren said to Old Jack with a smile: "Mr. Jack, you are an expert in this area, please introduce us to us, we want to buy a few racing horses and hold a long-term horse racing competition, you see how to buy it is more appropriate." ”
Old Jack nodded proudly and said: "If you want to hold a horse race, I recommend buying half of the peak horses and half of the young horses, so that the strength of the participating horses will be updated every year, so that there will be a lot of new ideas." ”
All three of the peninsula nodded in agreement, expressing their approval of Old Jack's statement.
Li Wenxiu pointed to a white horse with a snow-white body and a tuft of black hair on his eyebrows and asked, "Can I try to ride it?"
Old Jack smiled and asked: "Of course you can, but I don't know if the guests have learned equestrianism, these horses run extremely fast, and people who have no foundation are estimated to have to fall down before they go up." ”
An Zhengren next to him said with a smile: "Wenxiu, I have been learning equestrianism since I was a child, although there is a gap between me and the level of professional riders, but as long as the horse does not go crazy, my Wenxiu is absolutely fine." ”
Old Jack heard that the guest was basic, and he was not suspicious, and the guest wanted to try it. Old Jack took Li Wenxiu to change into a horse riding costume, and asked people to pull the horse over and put on the harness.
Approaching the horses, Park Juncai found that the white horses were close to human height, with beautiful lines all over the body, and when they walked, the muscles of the whole body were retracted and contracted, which looked extremely beautiful.
Li Wenxiu grabbed the reins with one hand, stepped on the stirrup with her left foot, stepped on her foot hard, pulled her hand and stepped on the white horse, sat on the horse's back, Li Wenxiu gently clamped the horse's belly, and the white horse stepped forward and began to walk leisurely.
Li Wenxiu rode the white horse around the racecourse, grinding with the horse for a while, and then brandished the horsewhip and whipped the horse's buttocks, and the white horse began to stride away and began to gallop in the racecourse.
The white horse is extremely fast when it runs, like a white lightning bolt running along the track in the racecourse. Li Wenxiu rode on horseback, like a noble knight, skillfully rising and falling with the horse's back, so that Park Jun, who was standing on the side, was unconsciously fascinated.
After Li Wenxiu ran a few laps, the horse's speed gradually slowed down, and she just wanted to stop, when she saw the white horse's legs weak, and her whole body leaned forward and fell to the ground. Li Wenxiu, who was on horseback, was also thrown out and flew to a very far place.
