Chapter Seventy-Seven: Target: New Zealand
The more focused you are, the easier it is to make mistakes, which is the famous Murphy's theorem. In the words of the Chinese, 'the plan does not change quickly'.
A week later, the good news was that they were finally able to travel abroad. But unlike planned, they went not to Japan, but to New Zealand!
This originated from a phone call received by Di Wei, which was made by Li Chen. Li Chen helped them get the formalities of going to Japan to compete, but there was a problem: 'Titan' can go, but 'Yin' can't, if 'Yin' wants to go, he must have international results, even if it is a G3 grade. New Marseille is still not able to participate.
This made the people at the racecourse blind again, where the hell is this going to race? In the end, it was Hunter Allen who came up with a solution. He contacted the Auckland Jockey Club in his hometown. Titan's results over there made him very popular, so he also gave him face and allowed 'Silver' to race in Auckland before Christmas.
"Why didn't you contact earlier? Don't you see what everyone has been worried about during this time?" Yang Meng was angry at Hunter Allen's afterthoughts.
Hunter Allen shrugged: "It's been so long for me to leave New Zealand to play outside, and now I'm going back, is that a step back?"
New Zealand's horse racing industry has always been a highlight of the country, and there are 'riding fields' in both big cities and small towns. It's definitely the sport that New Zealanders love the most, and most of them are of British descent, so New Zealanders have inherited the old tradition of 'English horse racing'.
Another reason may be that New Zealand girls are passionate about horse racing. In New Zealand, many girls start equestrian training at a very young age. Because of this, New Zealand is a strong contender for equestrian medals at every Olympic Games. Because of this, many Chinese tycoons have invested in horse farms in New Zealand, such as Yin Chongde, the original owner of Titan. New Zealand horses are arguably the best value for money in the world. Therefore, buying horses from New Zealand is the first choice for many Chinese horse farm owners. Just like the famous 'Mongolian Khan' in the southern hemisphere, a horse bought by a Chinese horse owner for NZ$220,000 that year, has so far won more than $3.9 million in competition prize money and $1.8 million in annual breeding fees.
And buying horses from New Zealand makes the quarantine procedure very simple. For the export of live animals, the quarantine period is important. New Zealand is very pure, so the quarantine procedure is simple. If you want to buy a horse from Australia and ship it back to China, you need to check at least five blood tests, but New Zealand only needs to check two.
"There are still almost two months to go. What are we doing during this time?" Yang Meng asked.
Huang He shrugged: "It will take us two months to transport two horses to New Zealand. That's the most important thing. Huang He, I'll leave it to you. β
Huang He snapped his fingers: "Okay, leave it to me." β
Yang Meng was stunned: "It takes so long to go to New Zealand, and it takes two months to pass?"
Hunter Allen said: "It's definitely not that long, it takes 13 hours to fly directly from China to New Zealand, and 16 hours if you have a connecting flight to Australia or Singapore. β
Yang Meng was puzzled: "Then why are we busy transporting the horses so early?"
Xiao Peng pouted: "Do you think that transporting the horse is like what is said in the novel, just say a word and transport it away? Among other things, the first thing to do is to send the horse to the quarantine horse farm for a month, do the necessary vaccinations, blood tests about horse diseases. If all the test results are good, you can only go to the airport for air transportation after coming out of the quarantine racecourse, and you must also apply for export documents and check the health certificate. It's a nuisance. β
Huang He thought for a while: "Six weeks can pass, just so let's go and adapt to the climate over there in advance and do a period of recovery training." After all, we're going straight from winter to summer. β
"Zhu Jun, you help Huang He during this time!" Xiao Peng said. "Xiaoice Jie, you can rest assured. β
"Don't worry, you don't have to say that this is what I should do. Zhu Jun replied.
Huang He said: "Let's go abroad from Shanghai, there is a quarantine horse farm over there that is still very good, it is approved by the National Quarantine and Inspection Bureau." Able to take care of 'Silver' and 'Titan' during this month. β
"But there is no direct flight from Shanghai to Auckland, what should I do?" Xiao Peng worried.
"We can only let Ma Duo take a three-hour flight, otherwise it will be even more troublesome if we have to go to Chengdu for quarantine. Huang He said.
Yang Meng was speechless and said, "Why is it so troublesome." β
Xiao Peng smiled: "Is this still troublesome? It is called trouble to ship back from a foreign country, you know, each country has its own animal quarantine standards, and our country has been using animal quarantine standards a long time ago." Whether you can pass a blood test is a question. If you buy a horse back, you can't pass the blood test, so you can only stay in the local area and can't transport it back. β
Zhu Jun also spoke at this time: "Brother Peng, during this time, I have been adding nutritional additives to the feed of the two horses, especially antioxidants and electrolytes. There was nothing wrong with long-distance shipping. A few days ago, the horseshoe shoes and wrist guards ordered by our horse farm also arrived, and there was no problem with transportation safety. β
I have to say that the arrival of Zhu Jun has added a lot of more professional help to the horse farm, such as this horseshoe shoes.
Made of heavy felt and leather, it is specially designed for transport and works with bracers to protect the hooves of racehorses and their injurious hoof crowns.
"OK, Huang He, pay attention, contact the cargo plane for transportation, don't contact the combination aircraft. Xiao Peng instructed. On cargo planes, horsemen are free to touch the horses, but on combined aircraft with a part hold and some passengers, the horseman must be allowed to enter the cargo hold and be accompanied by a crew member.
"Mengzi, don't be idle during this time, prepare the forage in advance and air transportation. Pan Peiyu, you have been abroad for a long time, and when the time comes, you and Hunter will go to New Zealand in advance to take care of everything for us. "Xiao Peng has arranged all the work.
Di Wei raised his hand and asked, "Brother Peng, what about me and Fat Cai?"
Xiao Peng said: "Now the racecourse can't be empty, it's your turn to play your artistic cells, you are staring at the construction of our racecourse." β
Di Wei protested: "I'm also going to New Zealand, there are so many beauties in New Zealand waiting for my rescue!"
Hunter Allen looked puzzled: "Brother Peng, what does Di Wei mean by this?"
Xiao Peng smiled and said: "Another poor worm who was deceived by rumors." β
In this day and age, everyone can be a newsmaker, and all kinds of fake news are emerging one after another. For example, what New Zealand beauties are everywhere, Russian beauties are out of proportion between men and women, and there is a 'man shortage' in Ukraine and Belarus, they are all waiting for Chinese men to come to the rescue. In this regard, Xiao Peng just wanted to send them two words: hehe.
In China, I often see media propaganda, what New Zealand 'man shortage', population report that 'women are 50,000 more than men', and also cite a group of United Nations population survey team reports: Over the past few years, New Zealand's population has continued to grow, and it is expected that by the end of this century, it will grow from the current 4.6 million to six million, in terms of population ratio, the 2017 United Nations World Population Prospects report shows that although the global ratio of men to women is 102:100, in New Zealand on the contrary, women have 78,000 more than men. Due to New Zealand's small population base, the difference of 50,000 extra women is already very remarkable.
At this point, some people began to talk nonsense in order to attract people's attention, and they have typed headlines on the Internet, hyping New Zealand's 'man shortage', which means that only the vast number of school-age young people in our country can save those foreign female friends when they go to New Zealand. Similar news also concerns countries such as Russia, Belarus, Ukraine, etc. There are also so-called real people and real stories written by the water army organized by blind date websites, describing how to hold beauty from other countries, there are too few foreign men, Chinese are hardworking and brave and favored by foreign women, and even become non-Chinese men do not marry.
Please, wake up, that's not the case.
One thing is true, New Zealand does have more women than men, and this is because of the small size of the local market, so young people in New Zealand have a tradition of going out and going to Australia and then to the United Kingdom. A significant proportion of New Zealand men usually stay abroad when they go abroad, while most women return to New Zealand.
The so-called 'man shortage' in New Zealand is more of a media hype, and after the Second World War, most New Zealand women have received significantly higher levels of education, and with this, they are more and more pursuing independence, more and more pursuit of quality of life, rather than sacrificing their lives for marriage. So in the eyes of New Zealand women, there is no so-called 'man shortage' at all. And as for Russia, Ukraine and Belarus? Well, only the fat aunt needs to be saved. They really expect the hard-working and brave Chinese guys to carry forward the international spirit to save them.
After listening to Xiao Peng's explanation, Di Wei and Yang Meng were full of disappointment. Hunter Allen laughed: "How can anyone believe such news? This is too fake!"
Yang Meng thought for a while and said, "That's not as good as this, you can't see my English levelγγγγγγ "He wanted to stay at home and not go out.
However, before he finished his words, Hunter Allen continued: "Although there is no shortage of men, you can not get married, but it does not mean that New Zealand women do not need men. According to the survey, the average New Zealand woman has 20.7 sex-partners, three times the global average. β
When Yang Meng heard this, he didn't want to say directly: "Although my English level is not good, but for our future development, I will definitely learn English well, and the language environment is very important, so I want to go to New Zealand to improve my English level!"
Everyone: "γγγγγγγ β
"If our racecourse is ranked shamelessly, Mengzi is definitely the first!" Pan Peiyu said with emotion.
"What did you say?" Yang Meng glared.
"It's to praise you, you don't have a face to be ashamed, and those of us who have no face know how to have a face. β
"Damn, don't run!"
