582 Refreshing Trading
(Thanks to my friend Ziyan Evil Killing, my lost soul, and the Fantasy Life Monthly Pass for encouragement)
Eric, a small pony farmer in Kentucky, has had a hard time lately, he's the master of the clouds, and it's as if the sky has fallen on him since that race.
Horse racing is a very expensive sport, and the training of horses, the hiring of jockeys, and the cost of participating in them can be a huge burden for any horse owner.
Their family is also an ancestral craft, and when his grandfather was still alive, the family also bred a good racehorse. It's just that the prize money wasn't as high or popular as it is now, and the horse was only a little famous in their county.
But in a state like Kentucky, which has a very strong horse racing atmosphere, even if there are no more achievements in horse racing, it can't stop them from wanting to breed a champion horse.
He has a total of eight racehorses in training on his farm, and he's going to have a big job. Seventy acres of land has been put to good use. In addition to the training grounds, the land is used to grow fodder for horses.
Although I have been breeding horses for so many years, I have never been able to achieve good results, and I have always had some races near my home. It wasn't until he bred Yun that Yun's performance gave him hope and gave him the courage to compete in the Breeders' Cup.
He didn't want to win the Breeder's Cup in the past, in fact, as long as Yunyun's performance was slightly better, Yunyun's value would increase a lot in the future. In this way, you can get some of the championships of the competition, and the children in the cloud will be able to sell them for a good price in the future.
But compared to each other, the results of the cloud are getting better and better, and he can even participate in the classic final of the Breeder's Cup. Even if he hasn't won the championship yet, Yun Yun is now a well-known horse in his hometown.
There are many people who are already thinking about introducing children to the cloud, and there are some large horse farms among them, who are very optimistic about the cloud. These big horse farms are also cultivated by the barbarian world.
But misfortune also struck after the start of the classic, and such an accident happened. He was also called by the Horse Racing Association to investigate, and although it was not resolved later, the impact was still there.
First of all, the value of the cloud has plummeted, and no one will buy an injured horse like Liu Heming. Even if the cloud returns to normal next year, no one will come and buy it. I can't afford to delay this year, and the clouds are not ponies.
And the recovery period of the cloud is so long, he can't take the cloud to the competition. Now there are three ponies in the racecourse that he bought after taking a fancy to the race, and he is also in debt for this Breeders' Cup.
Liu Heming and the others only found out that he owed the bank for running the racecourse, and he still had a debt of more than 30,000 US dollars outside.
Now that such a thing has been made, not to mention that the family fell directly from the sky to the ground, and there is a big pit on the ground, and their family is still falling into the pit.
And today, the family of four is all waiting at home, waiting for someone, waiting for someone who can take over his horse farm.
The advertisements have been out for a long time, but the price given by others is about the same as the auction price after the bank repossesses it. He had paid the price for his willfulness, and he didn't want his family to be kicked out of the racecourse without a place to live.
Liu Yi rushed over overnight, and Liu Heming gave him an order to get the matter done within one day, because this matter was what the proprietress was worried about. Even if he knew that Liu Heming was joking, and jokes were jokes, he would do it with his heart.
Friends are friends, in addition to friends, he is also an employee hired by Liu Heming, and he also receives a check from Liu Heming every month, although the number on the check is not as many as when he was in the law firm before, but he is also very satisfied.
When he arrived here, it was almost noon, mainly because it was too far from the airport, and he was not very familiar with the road conditions, and there was a little fault in the navigation on the car.
"Your racetrack is okay, two houses, two stables, and your own lake in the pasture. The current appraisal price is $370,000, how much are you going to ask for if you bring these horses of yours?" asked Liu Yi straight to the point.
"Three of these eight racehorses I just bought and cost me a total of $100,000. The remaining five horses, including Yunyun, are also carefully cultivated by me. Eric said nervously.
"If you're going to buy it with the horse farm and the horses, give me at least $650,000. Although Yun was injured, he was still able to participate in the competition after recuperation. Before the injury, it was worth $180,000. ”
Hearing his offer, Liu Yi looked at him quietly.
"Well, $600,000 minimum. After holding on for a while, Eric dropped 50,000 directly.
He himself knows that the property Liu Yi said is an appraisal price, and now in his own situation, no one will give the real market price. And these horses, if you don't dispose of them at a low price, you can't raise them after selling your own property.
This is the reality, as long as everyone sees the benefits, they will be very keen to participate in the encirclement of you. And among these people who encircle you, there may also be good friends that you used to think were very good.
"Real estate, it's 300,000 dollars. Eight horses, each for fifteen thousand dollars, adds up to four hundred and twenty-two thousand dollars. Liu Yi said.
"As a supplement, our boss can hire you to continue living here, raising these horses and breeding them to become professional racehorses. ”
"But that's also after that, if you agree, you need to take the horses to our boss's ranch for a year. See how well you breed racehorses and, if you can, sign you a long-term contract. ”
"Once hired, you'll be paid about $7,000 a month, and your family will have the right to continue living on the farm. I don't have a lot of time and this is my last offer. ”
Eric hesitated, the price was not high, it should be lower than the price given by the bank. But the additional conditions given by this Jack are very good, at least his family can continue to live here. And the price he paid was to be a full-time horse trainer in the future.
Thinking about his two children in junior high school, he nodded heavily. The money pays off the debt, and the rest can be used to pay for their future college tuition. And the money you earn should be able to maintain the daily expenses of the family.
Liu Yi quickly took out the prepared contract from his briefcase, filled in all the blanks, and signed his name on it.
Eric hesitated when he was about to sign it. After all, this is his ancestral property, but now he has to sell it in his own hands.
"OK, do you want a cash check or a bank transfer?" asked Liu Yi after Eric signed his name.
"Let's transfer it to the bank, so that I can pay off the arrears of the bank directly. When am I going to go to work on your boss's ranch?" asked Erik.
"You're going to come with me today, take all these horses with you, and I've already made contact with the planes for transport. Liu Yi said with a smile.
"Yun is indeed a good horse, but it has a serious injury and needs to be treated as soon as possible if it doesn't want to be scrapped next season. ”
"But even if I get treatment, I'm afraid I'll miss all the games in the first half of next year. If too much medication is used on it, it may also affect its life in future competitions. Eric said with a frown.
Even if the clouds and other racehorses don't belong to him anymore, he has been raising them for so long after all. He really doesn't want to see others rushing to let the cloud produce results, and directly shorten the life of the game in the cloud.
"You don't have to worry about that, we naturally have our treatment. Liu Yi shook his head and said.
"Bring all the information of these horses, and we have to make some changes to the procedures when we get to the owner's ranch. If your family is worried, you can also come along. ”
In fact, Eric's wife is indeed a little worried, and always feels that this transaction is strange. How did it happen so quickly? And the plane was booked in advance? Why did Eric have to go over and train the horses?
She also wanted to go along, but she still had two children to take care of. Even if they are already in secondary school and have to apply to college in two years, they need her to take care of them.
Eric went to find the transport vehicle and transferred the horses to the airport, and Liu Yi also dialed Liu Heming's phone here.
"Done?" Liu Heming asked with a smile after answering the phone.
"That's it, there are eight horses in total, let's arrange for a car to pick me up at the airport tomorrow morning." It cost a total of $420,000, and I took a cursory look at the horse farm here, and it was very well maintained. At least it's much better than the simple horse farm in the ranch. Liu Yi said.
Liu Heming rolled his eyes, "You also know that it's a simple horse farm, so it's very good." Then come back quickly, and when you come back, you can still accompany Jin Nanyong and them around Xiangshui Town. ”
"Why are you so cruel that you can't give me some vacation?" Liu Yi said a little depressed.
"Haha, holiday, you want to get a holiday from me, not to mention the door, there are no windows. Liu Heming said proudly.
"I've been in touch with Emilia, she'll be back at Christmas, and she'll be bringing her parents to the ranch to play, do you want to take the holidays?"
This time, Liu Yi ran out of power, but he was even more depressed. People are in love with Emilia, what are you doing as a boss to follow and participate.
"Well, it looks like I'm going to invite my parents over too. Originally, I was going to find a vacation for Emilia and take her home first. Liu Yi said helplessly.
