Chapter 80, the descendants of famous horses (ask for collection! ask for subscription!)
Taylor scheduled the meeting between Don and the cowboys two days later, because winter was the off-season for ranching. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 infoMany farms that are not pure grazing will feed cattle and sheep in the winter for fattening purposes.
At this time, many unsophisticated ranchers will let some cowboys temporarily lay off. Wait until spring to let them come back, after all, in the western region, cowboys are everywhere, and the ranchers are not afraid of finding no one...... It's a bad idea, but it just gives Taylor the opportunity to pick a man.
And there's one more thing to do before recruiting these people, and that's buying horses.
After all, if you want to recruit cowboys to work, you have to prepare basic cattle herding tools, right?
Taylor contacted a horse farm and drove Tang Wen and Thomas over.
“... Ranch horses are generally quart, and the two horses in our stables are of this kind. A regular quarta costs only a few thousand dollars, usually four to eight thousand. ”
"The price is high because the bloodline is relatively pure?" Tang Wen remembered the black pearls that Nangong Caiwei bought for tens of thousands of dollars.
Taylor shook his head: "Not necessarily, that's just a situation. Generally, horses with pedigree certificates will be more expensive, such as Nangong's one. With pure blood and beautiful coat, he is a nobleman among the quarthorses...... Generally, the price of ranch quarts is determined by height, body length, and coat color. For example, a 8,000-yuan quart, there may be no proof of pedigree, but maybe the physique is relatively strong, maybe the coat color is very beautiful... So it's going to be a little more expensive..."
After listening to it, Tang Wen roughly understood, it was nothing more than looking at his appearance and physique.
"Hey, I haven't seen you in a few days, old fellow!" a hearty female voice came, and old Taylor greeted him and gave him a big hug. It seems that he also pricked the other party's face with his beard. The itchy woman giggled.
"Is this Taylor's?" Tang Wen looked curiously at the woman who was dressed as a cowboy with Taylor, the wrinkles on her face could no longer be concealed, but she could also see that she was probably a beauty when she was young.
"Oh, this is Aunt Flora, my dad's friend from his youth. Thomas thought for a moment and added, "She was a famous beauty when she was young......!
"So when old Taylor was young?" Tang Wen's eyes flashed with gossip.
Thomas understood what he meant, and said with a smile: "He's a very good cowboy, and he's very capable...... It's amazing that my mother died early. He supported our three siblings by himself...... Yes, I also have two older sisters. ”
"Truly remarkable!"
Tang Wen's situation, Taylor introduced it to Flora on the phone early in the morning.
Flora came over and Tang Wen said a few polite words, and finally pointed at Taylor and said very generously: "Looking for this old guy to work, you can be regarded as finding the right person! No matter how many horses you buy today, I will give you a discount of five points..."
The discount on the American side is very different in China, Tang Wen was stunned for a moment before reacting, she said that she was discounting ninety-five. Instead of a 0.5% discount.
Thanking her with a smile and declining her invitation to coffee, the group went straight to the stables.
"These are just trained awesome guys!
"Oh, I don't think the horses out there are very good, and they can only be used to pull a cart. You've got to come up with something good, don't expect to fool around," Old Taylor snapped mercilessly.
Tang Wen can be regarded as having seen a handful, business between Americans is business, and friendship is friendship. Just now he was wondering if this old guy Taylor would join his old lover to pit himself.
"Well, these are really just ordinary things, and they're here to get us going—" Flora smiled, unimpressed.
Picking and choosing along the way, Tang Wen was a little surprised to find that the horses Taylor chose were basically in line with his subconscious judgment, or in line with his eyes. This is probably the potential effect of his beast control skills, and he can easily tell whether a horse is a good horse or not.
"Well, eighteen horses are enough......" Flora didn't continue to play with the imaginary ones, and Taylor, who looked at every horse he suggested next, nodded repeatedly. Of course, the price is also slightly more expensive. Taylor and Flora discuss quantity and price. Thinking of Nangong Caiwei's little black horse, after asking her opinion, I bought two more young mares that had just reached adulthood.
"There's a horse stall over there, don't you want to see it?" Flora smiled like a flower after negotiating a deal.
Old Taylor frowned and didn't express any opinion, but Tang Wen was very interested in the word flower horse. He followed her to another stable.
"These are all white horses?" Nangong Caiwei exclaimed, her beautiful eyes full of brilliance. The word Prince Charming popped up in my mind.
Tang Wen was very moved to see it, and at first glance he saw three or five beautiful horses with pure white coats! The whole body was spotlessly washed, there was not a single variegated color on his body, and he looked down at everyone with his head held high.
"How to sell?" Nangong Caiwei just came back to her senses, and the first thing she said was to ask the price.
A hint of cunning flashed in Flora's eyes. But before he could speak, Taylor squeezed in from behind and suggested, "These horses are more delicate, but they are beautiful and practical......"
"Oh, old fellow, that's not what you said when you tricked me into going to the Flower Horse Race!" Flora glared at Taylor with an unkind face.
Several people were amused by this powerful remark, and Taylor blushed. Nead didn't know how to pick it up.
Tang Wen laughed twice, patted him on the shoulder again and again, and said meaningfully: "Old man, well done! Oh, I mean you're already very responsible......"
Hearing this, everyone laughed for a while.
"These horses are for breeding and will not be bought. Flora glanced at Taylor proudly, and then said to Nangong Caiwei.
"Ahh
Flora suddenly showed a look of regret, sighed and said, "Oh! God is so unfair, he gave you beauty and made you so smart!
Everyone thought of what she had just said, and with a smile on their faces, old Taylor pretended not to hear it, and twisted his head to the side.
“... "They come in a variety of colors, but the most basic coat color is white, and white and other colors are randomly matched, and many beautiful little ones will be born...... Generally speaking, they use horses for performances and race......"
Saying that, a few people came to an obviously large compartment, Flora stepped forward to open the door, controlled the horse to come out, Tang Wen was pleasantly surprised to find that this horse, which was more than 170 centimeters high at the shoulder, was snow-white, and only a diamond-shaped black was dotted on his forehead. It looks extraordinary!
Flora looked at Tang Wen and Nangong Caiwei's expressions, and said with satisfaction: "It has a noble bloodline, and it is a descendant of the famous American colt 'Dancing Bullet'. I'm going to sell it today for only $100,000!"
", the blood of the dancing bullet is worthless! Now it's everywhere ......," Taylor, who had been silent for a while, jumped out again and talked about the price.
