(Thanks to my friends JESSIEU, Grasshopper, and Siro You for their encouragement with a monthly pass)

Alex was really having fun today, and there had never been so many people watching her play together. Even if he was tired of playing, when he walked to the hotel, he still talked to Liu Heming that he would often come over to play when he had time in the future.

A peacock with a long tail was also "invited" by the little guy to the hotel as a guest. Anyway, the rights of peacocks here are also very large, and no one cares. People come to your hotel to play, this is to give you face.

When Kroenke arrived here, he complained to Liu Heming, such a fun thing, why not wait until he arrived here to hold it?

Liu Heming can only apologize, he is not prepared, who knows that his kiss baby is so powerful, so that the peacocks are flying with him.

With Marion here, there are naturally people who cook. And Marion doesn't think there's anything wrong with being a free chef for Liu Heming and their family, and he will also have a high percentage of dividends for the restaurant that is about to be established. Much taller than a normal three-Michelin-starred chef.

Because under normal circumstances, unless it is a restaurant invested by the chef himself, most of the rest of the three-star Michelin chefs take about 30%-40% of the dry shares of the restaurant. Liu Heming was very bold and directly gave Marion 49% of the dry shares.

If it weren't for the trouble of the management right in the future, Liu Heming would dare to give more.

He didn't expect much money from the restaurant at all, the whole food island was a project, one that would drive tourists and foodies to the ranch in a frenzy.

And if the food island can really operate successfully, it will also improve the social status of the ranch a lot, which will greatly promote the revenue of the ranch tourism.

So he doesn't pay much attention to these shares. As long as Marion can put his heart down and cook here seriously, this is better than anything else.

Like the shops in town, he would rent them out completely to collect rent. That's much easier than running his own shop, making a lot more money. And it won't involve too much of his energy, just provide good service to everyone.

"Helois, you should learn cooking in the future, I think you can master it faster than Landos. Liu Heming said while handling the side dishes for Marion.

"I don't want to learn, anyway, I think about it, and I'll live on the ranch in the future. There are so many restaurants and chefs, where do you still use me to cook by myself? Helois said happily.

Liu Heming gave her a thumbs up, and I have to say that this girl's idea is very powerful.

"Sir, Mr. Kenneth has come to see you. That's when TC brought Kenneth in from outside.

"Haha, I knew that I would definitely be able to taste a free meal when I came here today. Kenneth quipped.

"It's going to be a game tomorrow, don't you have anything to deal with?" Liu Heming asked curiously.

"We're just invited, and all the preparations here will be done by the organizers. How's the state of the dots, can you be the shining star?" Kenneth said with a smile.

"I didn't even dare to look at it today, because I was afraid that it wouldn't be able to stay in it and have to come out to play. Liu Heming shook his head.

"But don't worry about it, it's been resting for so long, and if you can't win such a small game, then you really won't have to mix it up in the future. ”

"I'm not worried at all, I just don't know if Alex and Glamorous Girl can win the Dubai World Cup with the most money next year. ”

"Dexter, your profile should be updated. The prize money of the Dubai World Cup can only be ranked second now, and next year's Pegasus World Cup will be the one with the most prize money in horse racing. Kenneth said with a smile.

Liu Heming was stunned for a moment, "What kind of competition is this Pegasus World Cup?

He consciously knows a lot about horse racing, but this Pegasus World Cup, how to listen to it, there is a smell of copycats.

"It's normal that you haven't heard of it, because the first Pegasus World Cup is going to be held in January next year. Kenneth explained with a smile.

"This horse race is organised by the Stronac Group and is in the category of Owner's Challenge. $1,000,000 per slot, and all slot buyers share in the profits. The winner will of course also receive a prize of $12 million. ”

"More and more people are now paying attention to the benefits that horse racing can bring, so a lot of people around the world are looking at horse racing. ”

"Don't look at the horse races that are just the nature of the Owners' Challenge, when these slots first go on sale, they are all sold out. Buyers can arrange their own racehorses or join forces with other owners to do so. ”

"If I'm not bad at expecting it, as long as next year's Pegasus World Cup is a success, there will probably be people in many countries who will host games like this. ”

"But how meaningful can such a competition be? It seems that there is nothing else except some economic benefits, right?" asked Liu Heming with a frown.

"No, Dexter, that's not for sure. Kenneth shook his head.

"Why is the Dubai World Cup so famous? It's actually because of the huge prize money in horse racing. If the first Pegasus World Cup is a success, it will push for a second, third, and more time. After many successes, the level of this horse race will naturally increase a lot. ”

"Actually, I think that if you're interested, you can do the same. This kind of owner's challenge has a very fast effect on the accumulation of fame in the event. ”

Not to mention, Liu Heming was really moved. As the organizer, the investment in this competition is not very high, but it is more simple and crude.

In order to win a race, those who buy a gate will naturally choose the best horses to race, so there is no doubt about the value of the race.

It's just that after thinking about it for a while, he still shook his head, "It seems that this kind of game is only suitable for a single game, if there are too many games, it will not attract so many people's attention." ”

"The tournament in my mind is different, the tournament I want to host is a comprehensive tournament, and only the last tournament is a challenge tournament with no division restrictions. ”

"That's the only way to make my horse races a classic, to drive the number of visitors and the enthusiasm of people for horse racing. ”

"Although the Pegasus World Cup can catch the attention of the whole world in a short period of time, it will be difficult to have much effect when there are more such games in the future. ”

"I'm not just here to play tickets, but to really do the world's classic horse races. Relatively speaking, although the traditional method is slower to accumulate popularity, the accumulation of this popularity will only increase. ”

"Our Xiangshui Town, designed to welcome tourists from all over the world in the future. If you come here and just watch an ordinary game, it won't work. ”

Kenneth nodded, he knew that Liu Heming had big ideas in mind, but he also knew how hard it was to fight his way through the many horse races now.

Most of the well-known horse racing races are all about the foundation, such as the triple crown of the United States. Up to now, it is the American Breeders Cup and the Dubai World Cup. But even these two horse races, at the beginning, used prize money to attract horse owners.

And horse racing has developed to this stage, in fact, it has become saturated. There are many regional horse races that are almost short-lived. It was held vigorously at the beginning, but a few years later, few people watched.

It is true that Liu Heming is a rich man, but if he wants to support the normal operation and profitability of an emerging event, I am afraid it will take several years of hard work. And during this time, he needs to invest in it. The amount of money that needs to be invested is not ordinarily large.

"So what do you think about horse racing betting, how many races a week?" asked Kenneth curiously.

"I haven't figured this out yet. Liu Heming smiled bitterly and shook his head.

"Although the entire chain of the horse racing industry is well developed in the United States, I am not very sure whether my racetrack can drive the race. ”

"It takes a lot of owners to recognize the race, and it also needs the audience's recognition of the race. If it really goes well, I might be able to hold three races a week, and then with the broadcast fee and betting profits, I will be able to support my racecourse and the horse races that will be held in the future. ”

"Actually, even now, I didn't dare to think that horse racing could make me money. There are so many factors to consider that every small situation can affect the operation of a racecourse. ”

"And in the future foal auctions, I don't plan to auction those newborn foals. I think that's an abuse of them. I don't let foals under the age of three come up for auction. ”

The horse racing industry is a very complete industrial chain. This industry chain is based on racing and horses, and relies on the development of the betting industry.

A racehorse's life cycle is divided into six stages: birth, trading, training, racing, retirement and breeding. In these six stages, there are many derivative industries. There will also be many jobs that can be provided directly and indirectly to the local area. Of course, it still depends on the size and attention of your racecourse.

Since he had the idea of doing horse racing, Liu Heming has also discussed with the Montana state government, and he can also get the support of the state government.

It's just that those are external factors, and the most important thing is the race itself and the horse race. A good horse race can give the best race, this is not how much money you can pile up, but it needs to be recognized by the outside world.
