Chapter 223: Men and Women
Link then picked two more ponies that were not related to the Dark Horse bloodline. All are black and white, and they are less than eight months old.
The owner of the horse farm showed the pedigree certificate of the horse, and then called a lawyer to witness it, and the two parties signed the contract. It is now impossible for Link to take the horses away.
But he's already talked to Bank. The horses were first delivered to Bank's horse farm. He also asked Bank to help with the exit and transportation procedures on the British side. And on the American side, there is naturally Martha to deal with.
Once Link paid, the horses completed the deal. Wood, the owner of the farm, was in charge of getting the horses to Bank's horse farm.
And they continued their journey. They went as far as Edinburgh.
On his way back from Edinburgh, he visited Bank again and thanked him for accepting the Jepsi Vanier horses.
Bank took him to the horse farm, pointed to the black horse and said, "You bought a good horse." My trainer says that it is no worse athletic than a hot-blooded horse. The speed may be slightly inferior, but the stamina is much better than that of the hot-blooded horse. Of course, it also has a much worse temper than the average Jepsi Vanilma. It's like the naughtiest kid in a class of well-behaved students. ”
Link laughs and says, "I found it to be very competitive and active when I was test riding!"
"Competitiveness is an important factor in horse racing. It's a pity it's a forest horse. Otherwise, at least you can participate in endurance races. However, it is rare to see such a beautiful solid color of Jepsi Vanirma, with a bright black and soft coat and a good luster. The Jepsi Vanier horse, which usually costs more, should be a variegated horse. But this one, twelve thousand pounds is not expensive. ”
"That Wood said he was going to use it as a stallion. So the price is a little higher. ”
"Did he really say that?" Banker said with a smile after a moment's pause. "In fact, the variegated horse is the hallmark of the Gipsy Vanier horse, so the owner usually chooses the variegated horse as the stallion. Of course, it is not excluded that he saw the excellence of this horse and wanted to train a racehorse. ”
How could Link not hear that the other party was implying that he had been deceived. He shook his head and said, "It seems that if a layman wants to buy something good, it is better to ask an expert to accompany him." ”
"At least you're on the right buy this time. The dark horse was the best of all Gipsy Vannel horses I've ever seen in every way except that it wasn't variegated. That red horse is not bad either. If you don't talk about coat color, it's worth the price. ”
It still means that Red Horse bought a loss. But it sounds like the other two ponies that Hannah bought didn't suffer at a loss.
The business has been reached, and even if he regrets it, he can't return it, and he doesn't really regret it.
It's hard to buy money and have a good heart. He really liked the black horse. Jessica also loved the red horse. In that case, he has nothing to complain about.
He again thanked Bank for his willingness to help with the transportation of the horses and the formalities of exiting.
In the evening, Link and the others returned to London. Albert was also in London and introduced him to several artists.
Later, Albert flew to South America in a hurry. Link and Jessica rarely came to Europe, and they didn't think about going back right away. They first spent a whole day in London, went to Oxford Street to buy shoes, leather bags, and trimming brushes. Then he went to London to take refuge in Silver, and bought some small silver things to make gifts for their friends.
They also bought some for themselves when they saw the silverware they liked.
Then, I went to Harros Mall and bought some Stilton cheese to take to the United States. Jessica said: "It's the best cheese brand in the UK, and it goes well with wine. Of course, the price is also relatively expensive. "She's going to buy it back for her mom as a gift.
Link listened to her and bought some for himself. I think this thing is good even if it is to make breakfast for Hannah.
After that, they went on another trip to France. Jessica buys a lot of clothes and perfumes in Paris, but she won't let Link pay for them. When Link wants to pay, she says, "I'm a little rich woman!"
However, when it came time to buy underwear, she asked Link to pay for it. Link thought she would pay for it herself, but she whispered, "It's your benefit." So you should pay!"
Link smiled wryly at her.
It wasn't until Bank called him that the horse's exit was done. He was just about to return to the United States. But by this time he was already in Milan, Italy. They flew directly to Seattle.
After they waited in Seattle for more than an hour, the cargo plane carrying four horses also landed successfully.
Link was also allowed to enter the tarmac, where a car designed to transport large animals was already waiting. Four horses were pulled out of two containers of the plane. They will be taken away by the quarantine bureau for quarantine. When the quarantine results come out, there is no problem, and then it can be allowed to be released. However, before the horses were on the plane, the UK was quarantined. So the U.S. side only needs a simple quarantine.
Martha waited for the horses to be pulled away before she walked up to Link and said, "Link, you said you were going to put the four horses in Ozet, and the horse trainer had already gone to the quarantine office today. She'll take care of that over there. ”
She had mentioned it to Link before. She hired a young female horse trainer for Link, who was paid $65,000 a year. Dedicated to those four horses.
That was a bit higher, of course, but he didn't have time to take care of the horses right now. Only one person can be invited. If it is a cowboy, the salary will be less than one or two hundred thousand yuan per year, but since he hired someone, he doesn't care about the salary of one or two hundred thousand yuan a year.
Link smiled and said, "That's good." If nothing happens here, I'm going to go back to Nevada. Do you want you along?" Link's private jet sent Martha over. So I'm waiting in Seattle right now.
"I've already taken care of this side of the matter. ”
So they returned to Hans's farm together.
In the study, Martha and Link reported on some of the events during this time, such as the fact that Furlen had donated $250 million to his fund, which was 50 million more than the $200 million he had given to the other party. But next time he'll donate more.
"Last time you said you'd arrange to meet that Ben Stein when you came back. He called me every day. Are you free to see him anytime soon?"
Link thought for a moment and said, "Let him come to see me tomorrow." ”
"In addition, I talked to the contractor about the excrement disposal system of the pig farm. They agreed to reduce the price by $2.25 million per set. However, their condition was that all the work would be handed over to them. ”
Link asked, "Can't it be cheaper?"
"If you're not willing to accept their terms, maybe I can find a contractor with a better price. However, a design fee of $780,000 was required. Because the original contract required them to pay $30,000 for each set built. ”
"Then how much price can you give from the contractor you found?"
"Two million and one million dollars. They are construction companies owned by immigrants from China. They employ mainly Chinese laborers. The labor cost is lower. However, they are qualified to undertake similar projects. ”
"Seven hundred and eighty thousand dollars, then give them to them. ”
"Good!"
She added: "I've found the right marketing analyst and PR specialist for our team. When do you think the interview is scheduled?"
"Tomorrow!"
Martha wrote it down and said, "I've got a nutritionist too." However, he has not been contacted yet. ”
Link thought for a moment and said, "This is not in a hurry for the time being. "He plans to move to Ozette and hire a nutritionist again.
“OK。 "Even if you don't contact it now, that dietitian might find another job. But Martha didn't think she would find another one in the future.
She's done with what she's going to report. Then he took his leave and left the farm.
When Link came down from the study, he saw Hannah in a Victorian-style princess dress playing with Jessica on the couch. She also wore a silver crown on her head, and held a small fir silver-clad scepter in her hand. It says it's a scepter, but there are a few small bells hanging on it, and it looks like a witch's magic wand.
But these little things, Hannah seems to like very much.
When she saw Link, she climbed off the couch and pounced, "Daddy." Kaka says that Hannah has a beautiful horse. Is it true?"
Link crouched down to catch her and said, "Yes." Daddy bought a horse for Hannah to give as a gift! Are you happy?"
"Happy!" shouted Hannah. "But what about horses?"
"In Ozet, the next time Hannah goes there she will see it. ”
"When are you going to Ozette?" said Hannah, glancing at Jessica, then bringing her mouth to his ear. "Ka Ka, say, she's going to send a carriage, and I'm like a real princess. ”
Link glanced at Jessica with a smile and asked Hannah, "What should you say about Ka Ka giving you a gift?"
Hannah blinked, then gave Jessica a big little face, "Thank you Kaka!"
Jessica laughed and said, "You're welcome." Then she said to Link again. "Tomorrow I have to be in California. ”
"In such a hurry?"
"Yes, before I went to the United States, I went to the United Kingdom with you as soon as I returned. The bank informed me that the money I had deposited was not enough to pay the staff for the week. Moreover, the laboratory needs to be reviewed at the end of the month, and the use of funds for this month and the budget for the next month will be arranged. ”
Hearing what she said, Link decided to look for an opportunity to persuade her to agree to find a professional manager. Even if she still wants to manage the company in the future, she doesn't have to do everything herself.
However, even his own woman is so serious and responsible, he feels that he can't be lazy.
In many cases, in a family, it is not necessarily just about who earns the most money. Many times, it is usually women who feel that they can't keep up with men, so that men will have a sense of pride and a sense of responsibility.
If a woman is doing a far better job than a man, the man will gradually feel inferior and rarely feel at ease.
One person walks ahead of the other, and if they can't catch up, the two will drift apart. Unless neither of them cares about any of that. Otherwise, the rest of life will seem very out of tune.
What other men would think, he didn't know.
But he didn't want to let his woman wait for him in front one day. If there is one person waiting for the other in front of him and Jessica, there must be one person waiting for the other. He hoped that it was him who was waiting for the other person in front of him!
