387. The Chinese Spirit
"The signboard should be big enough to be visible from at least half a kilometre away. β
At Winkat Ranch, Emperor Wu commanded the workers to set up an open-air party scene.
said that they were workers, but in fact they were all employees of the ranch, and the rancher Winkat temporarily gave Emperor Wu the right to dispatch them.
This medium-sized ranch has 26 employees, which is more than the total number of people in the three ranches of Emperor Wu combined.
Winkart was a gray-haired old man who was very good at staffing and was a senior executive at the retail giant Walmart in her youth.
"Do as he says! Old Wincart stood in the courtyard on crutches, and he didn't actually need crutches to walk, but it made him look more majestic.
The employees respect him very much, and although he is usually strict, the benefits that the old man gives to the employees are very high.
"My uncle is like that, as strict as you can see, but in private he is a kind man. Jimmy whispered to him.
At the request of Emperor Wu, a huge signboard was hung in the courtyard in front of the ranch villa.
The party will be held in an open-air grassy area, similar to the kind of open-air concerts in China.
Dozens of picnic tables are set on the grass and can accommodate hundreds of people.
Tonight's staple was Texas steak with pasta and imported Finnish juices.
It is said that the old man was very fond of this drink when he was working at Wal-Mart, so he would fly hundreds of cases from Helsinki every year.
The old man Winkart personally told Emperor Wu that the net profit of his ranch was about 800,000 US dollars per year, which was incomparable with the profit of Emperor Wu's hundreds of millions of output value.
"Young man, I want to know how you make hundreds of millions of dollars a year with a thousand cows? God, your cattle must be made of gold. β
Winkart burst out laughing, he looked stern but liked to joke.
He continued: "As far as I know, before you took over the ranch, it was just a small ranch in the suburbs, the size of dozens of cows, and you took over and sold the beef for 500 Australian dollars per 500 grams, you are God, right?"
Emperor Wu smiled, "I'm not a god, I'm just a lucky one." β
It took almost a morning to set up the ranch party, and by noon it was much more leisurely.
Emperor Wu's party attracted a lot of media attention, and half of the people in Texas wanted to know what kind of fame he was going to make, but he didn't let those people see through it.
At noon, the group sat in the courtyard of the Winkat Ranch basking in the sun and drinking juice.
Truth be told, this juice from Finland tastes pretty good.
I used to know that there were Nokia and Night Wish bands in Finland, but I didn't expect that there was also a delicious drink.
In terms of age, Winkat belongs to the generation of Emperor Wu's grandfather. However, due to the fact that Americans generally have children earlier, Wincart is now just 65 years old.
His granddaughter is about the same age as Wu Youyou, and she went to her grandfather's ranch for a vacation during the college holidays.
With the addition of Kaibi, the three peers had a good time, taking pictures and then swiping the screen on social networks.
"If the U.S. government doesn't care about invasive alien species, I can send you some grass seeds, which are the result of my careful cultivation and the reason why my cattle and sheep sell for a higher price. β
Emperor Wu said with a smile that he knew that the U.S. government would never allow Australian forage seeds to be imported into China under any circumstances, and that Asian carp was a scar that could not be overcome.
Lunch was served in a pleasant atmosphere, and Winkat insisted on not spraying the grass with pesticides, so his steak was particularly grassy, fresh and elegant, and not so greasy.
The tougher meat may have something to do with Texans' preference, as was the case with steaks eaten in downtown Dallas, and it seems that they have a unique way of cooking steak.
The hot dog rolls here taste good, and the grilled sausages inside remind Wu Di of the Spanish-style grilled sausages he ate at Berkeley Racecourse, which are fried on the outside and tender on the inside, and taste great on the cheese.
After a full meal, Wincart would have the habit of taking a nap, even when Walmart President Jim Walton came.
"You can just walk around the ranch, there's a lot of fun stuff like a yo-yo and some wine. β
The old man yawned repeatedly, and it seems that people are prone to sleepiness when they get older.
Emperor Wu planned to ride a horse to walk in the pasture, and the three girls also wanted to ride a horse, and in the face of this green meadow, no one wanted to gallop on it.
Weincart's horse farm is built with extreme luxury, all kinds of high-tech equipment, more advanced temperature control equipment than Emperor Wu's ranch, and it is comfortable to enter the stable, so that people don't want to come out.
After his retirement, the old man liked to watch horse racing at all levels, so he spent $600,000 to build a stable and raise five riding horses.
Although it is not a noble bloodline, it is in good spirits under his care.
When it comes to raising horses, Weincart has of course heard of the Sonic Cat, a champion horse that has staged a magical comeback.
"Sonic Cat, if I remember correctly, it's the name, it shined at last year's Melbourne Cup, how is it now, is there any breeding foals. β
"Yes, I'm going to take riders and Sonic to Division 1, but some of the high-prize events are overage for him. Emperor Wu said regretfully.
"That's a shame, have you heard about this year's Melbourne Cup? A horse from California won the championship. "Old man Wincart wanted to go back to the house and sleep, and he stayed a little longer talking about horse racing.
Speaking of this year's Melbourne Cup, Emperor Wu has some regrets. Having missed a medical examination due to a sonic muscle injury in his leg, next year's Melbourne Cup is already an old horse for him, and it will be difficult for him to appear on the track at the international level one.
Therefore, it can only be allowed to participate in some ordinary events, and if the sonic cat is forced to continue to run at high speed, it will undoubtedly destroy it.
The best option now is to make it a breeding horse, mated with a good mare and produce a good offspring.
"The curtain call of a generation of legends is undoubtedly regrettable. Weincart said regretfully.
Emperor Wu changed his words, "But not long ago, we got a message from its original owner that it is very likely that the sonic cat has an illegitimate child. β
This is also the news that Emperor Wu only found out last night, when Mr. Kane, who was far away in the northern wilderness, called him to tell him that he had an "illegitimate child" of a sonic cat in a zoo in Melbourne.
Kane, who was so disappointed, gave the Sonic one last night of mercy before he was ready to send him to the slaughterhouse.
Let the sonic cat and a mare lose their souls overnight, but they didn't expect to fall into the soul and give birth to a foal a year later.
Because the mare is owned by Melbourne Zoo, the foal is kept in the zoo.
Recently, Mr. Kane overheard the news and told Emperor Wu about it as soon as possible, thinking that he might be interested in it.
Emperor Wu was anxious about finding the sonic cat, but he didn't expect that there was such a strange thing, he had already entrusted the relationship to go to the Melbourne Zoo to "drop blood and recognize relatives", if it was really the offspring of the sonic cat, it was to find a way to get it back.
Despite the discouraging statistic that the descendants of Melbourne Cup winners are never good stallions, few of them are as good as their grandparents.
But Emperor Wu was a man of faith, and he believed in the indelible Chinese spirit in the blood of the "Pentium Era", and he hoped that blood would continue to be passionate.
