Chapter 246: A Record-Breaking Horse Race
Bob took Xiao Peng and Prince Wahab to the auction house, and Wahab was interested in expensive horses. The rest of the people found the barbecue more appealing to them.
Bob took the two to the auction area, almost all of the horses here have participated in the young horse competition and have achieved results, Xiao Peng came here to see, there is no horse that makes him feel bright, although the horses here have experience in the competition, but considering their potential or something, the horses here can only be said to be average, and the price is very high, it is really not a good choice. Even if you can get results when you go back, it depends on training and luck, which is not a good choice.
However, most of the customers who participate in the auction here are Chinese. Mayor Moore was hiding behind him, laughing profusely. Today's transaction volume is a leverage.
"Bob, which horse are you talking about?" Xiao Peng asked.
Bob pointed to a dark horse standing on the stage and said, "That's it! β
Xiao Peng looked at it, hey, he had seen this horse just now. This horse has won two young horse races, looking at the horse owner's video of the event at that time, the speed is really fast, but this horse Xiao Peng really can't look at it, because it is very simple, the potential of this horse has been tapped, the cell vitality is insufficient, and the growth is very low. At this age it can be compared, compared to adult horses it is not competitive. Isn't that that just a horse that costs $5 million?
But to be honest, this horse does sell very well, whether it is the proportion of limbs or muscle lines, it can indeed be said to be the most beautiful horse in the entire horse trading market, coupled with his historical record, it is no wonder that the starting price is five million dollars.
The host on the stage spoke at this time: "Everyone has seen, this is the highlight of today's auction, the two-year-old stallion 'Yemen', since childhood, the record is amazing, after the famous family, his grandfather is the former Australian legendary racing horse 'Bighead Fish', and his mother is the champion of the Melbourne Racing Festival 'Red Bow', has participated in two young horse group races, all of them have won the championship, the state is amazing, I believe that after scientific training, this is definitely a top horse with great potential! The starting price is 5 million! Start bidding now!"
"Five million!"
"Five and a half million!"
"Five million six thousand!"
After listening to the bid, the crowd was very enthusiastic about bidding, and soon the time reached 7 million.
Xiao Peng shrugged his shoulders and said to Bob, "Look at these people, they are really rich." Why bother betting so much money on a young horse?"
Bob smiled bitterly: "That's why I came to you to take a look, I really don't dare to make a decision at such a high price." Now many of our members ask about this horse, and I don't know how to answer. If you can really produce results, like 'doves occupy magpies' nests, at least it can bring tens of millions or even hundreds of millions of benefits to horse owners, but if you can't produce results, it will be over. β
Xiao Peng smiled slightly: "Bob, what do you think of this horse?" He wanted to test Bob's eyesight.
Bob shook his head: "This horse is too perfect to find any faults. Because of this, I somehow remembered the 'green monkey'. β
Xiao Peng smiled, Bob really has a level, the 'green monkey' he said is a horse that has set a world auction record for young horses, and the auction price is as high as 17 million. The horse, like this 'Yemeni', is perfect and has no faults. As a result, after buying it, he did nothing, and after running on the field for two years, he retired as a breeder. The two-year racing career brought the owner only $25,000 in prize moneyγγγγγγ That's a real loss in the pants.
"Bob, since you can't see it, don't gamble, it's not worth it. Xiao Peng looked at the auction price, and it was already over 12 million. A white man next to the auction table was smiling and his mouth was almost closed, and it seemed that he was the owner of the horse.
Bob sighed: "But everyone has a gambling mentality, what if it's another 'dove occupying the magpie's nest'? That can bring at least tens of millions of dollars in profits." To tell you the truth, I was very impressed by this horse, which is why I called you here to hear your opinion. β
Xiao Peng smiled: "Okay, don't get entangled, you go and tell the people who came with us and tell them not to bid." The price is too high. β
As soon as Xiao Peng finished speaking, he saw Wahab next to him raise his hand: "Fifteen million!" This price was in an uproar in the audience, why was it so much higher at once?
"Poof. Xiao Peng patted Wahab: "Are you crazy?
Na Cheng thought about Wahab gritted his teeth and said: "Of course I heard it, but you also said it just now, it is just that there may be no results, what if there are results?"
When the people next to him saw Wahab in a white robe, they talked about it: "Who is so rich? β
"Yes, the Middle Eastern tyrants are here, who can bid? β
"Forget it, let's give up. β
Xiao Peng sighed and paid this price to buy this horse? Isn't this sick? You are so rich, can't you engage in charity? Do you have to go to the sea? Now it's okay, who else can bargain? Don't you smash your hands?
As a result, as soon as Xiao Peng finished thinking about it, someone really asked for the price: "Sixteen million!"
When Wahab saw the bidder, he raised his hand without saying a word: "Seventeen million!"
"Are you crazy?" Xiao Peng was completely shocked, what is Wahab trying to do? This price has tied the world auction record for two-year-old horses, right? What the hell is going on?
Wahab stared at the bidder with two eyes, and said to Xiao Peng: "Xiao, I'm not crazy, even if this horse really smashes into my hands, I can't let him be bought by others." Do you see the guy who bargained with me?"
Xiao Peng tilted his head and saw that it was a white man, his hair was starting to turn gray, and he was wearing a pair of glasses, but Xiao Peng couldn't tell his age, anyway, his skin was quite young. "That man was called Jean-Pierre Christie's. Bob, you know him, don't you?"
Bob nodded: "How can you not know him? Old rival, the fourth generation head of the Christie's family." He founded his own Goffin Breeder-Horse Farm. Ten years ago, he began accepting an invitation from the Kata royal family to take the helm of the Doha Jockey Club. β
"Poof. "Xiao Peng sprayed, this is the most critical reason, it turned out to be to destroy Kata to get this horse. This Nima is called harming others and not benefiting oneself.
Look at Jean-Pierre's expression. The price of 17 million also discouraged him. Well, this horse is really going to smash it.
The host saw that Jean-Pierre had not made a bid, and had already begun to count down: "Has anyone else bid? Has anyone bidγγγγγ? Two...... β
"Twenty million!" a woman's voice suddenly came, and the audience was in an uproar. Everyone followed the prestige, and saw a woman wearing sunglasses covering half of her face and a black silk scarf wrapped around her hair standing there.
"Why is she here?" Wahab was also stunned, and Xiao Peng asked curiously, "Hey, who is that big-breasted woman?"
Wahab looked at him with a strange expression: "Brother, you don't know her?" β
Xiao Peng was stunned: "Is he her?"
"Sheikh Moza, Princess of Qatar. Wahab gave Xiao Peng the answer.
Xiao Peng was dumbfounded: "This is the legendary princess of Qatar?"
Wahab's face was complicated, he nodded, and then said angrily: "Vake, with her, it is difficult to take this horse, Xiao, how much money do you have, borrow it from me, and wait for me to return to China to give it to you." β
Xiao Peng hurriedly took the opportunity to stop him, and whispered in his ear: "Wahab, I guarantee with my personality, this horse can't run out, don't bid anymore, there is a problem with this horse." β
"Are you sure?" Wahab looked at Xiao Peng suspiciously. "Shaw, this year we managed to overtake Kata in the race, this horse looks really good! I don't want to give them a chance to turn over!"
Xiao Peng nodded: "Nonsense, when did you see me talking nonsense? I won't lie to you!"
Wahab hesitated for a long time, gritted his teeth, and said to the host in the stands: "I give up!"
The host looked excited, and suddenly dropped the hammer: "Okay! Today you have witnessed history! Our famous local horse 'Yemen' of the Kangaroo Country has broken the world's auction record for two-year-old horse racing! Let's invite the new owner of 'Yemen' to come up and say a few words!"
After hearing this, Sheikh Moza smiled and nodded, walked up to the auction table in a generous manner, picked up the microphone, and choked Wahab with his first words: "First of all, I hope everyone will give applause to the loser of this auction------ Saudi Prince Wahab." His gentlemanly demeanor earned me the winning bid. Of course, as the winner, I am very satisfied with this 'Yemen' horse, and in the future, it will be trained by Mr. Jean-Pierre to represent our Kata royal family and shock the world racecourse!"
After listening to Sheikh Moza's speech, Xiao Peng covered his face, and these two countries really tore their faces. Do you want to fight each other when you get together? Buy a horse and don't forget to hit each other?
Wahab was angry, but his face was still kind: "Princess Sheikh Moza, congratulations on winning the auction." It is worthy of the Kata royal family, with deep pockets. Betting on a young horse for $20 million is really bold!"
Sheikh Moza laughed: "I believe that the world's top trainers have the vision of Mr. Pierre. At the same time, for our Kata royal family, 20 million US dollars is not a big amount. β
Wahab smiled: "Congratulations to the princess for getting her wish." After finishing speaking, he pursed his lips and whispered to Xiao Peng: "Slapped with a swollen face and become fat, 20 million is not a big amount? Don't we know how many treasury reserves they have now?"
Xiao Peng was speechless: "Okay, the excitement is over, let's go." After saying that, he turned and left: "Wahab, you owe me a lot of money! Actually, I should let you pay for the lesson." β
Wahab shrugged: "Isn't it just money? If this horse is really as you say, after the age of three, I can't give you five million dollars?"
"That's what you said, let's go, go back to the barbecue, waste time. Xiao Peng said.
The three of them turned around and were about to leave, but a call came from behind them: "Mr. Xiao, please stay." β
