Six hundred and forty-four, the Golden Contest in the Ranch
The race was quickly decided, with a Chinese cowboy in his twenties winning.
Many cowboys cursed despite Tang Ming and Cornelia beside them.
Of course, they weren't scolding the Chinese cowboy who won, but the cowboy who made them lose.
"Congratulations. Tang Ming walked over and said to the Chinese cowboy.
"Thank you, teacher...... Boss. The Chinese cowboy said.
"Since we are alumni, just call me Senior Brother. Tang Ming smiled, "By the way, what's your name?"
Songjiang University of Science and Technology will send a batch of cowboys every one or two months, the number ranges from a few to one or twenty people, except for the first few batches, Tang Ming is not very familiar with the later people.
"Senior brother, my name is Chen Xiao, and I have just been here for three months. Chen Xiao said.
"It's only been here for three months, so why did you ride your horse so well?" Tang Ming asked in surprise.
"I'm a Mongolian and I've been riding horses since I was a kid. Chen Xiao explained.
"I see. Tang Ming said suddenly.
After chatting with Chen Xiao a few more words, Tang Ming, Cornelia and Mike rode away.
"Mike, are there often people racing horses in the ranch?" Tang Ming asked.
"Once a day or two, boss, don't worry, I will watch them and won't let them delay their work. Mike said.
"No, you misunderstood me, there are so few entertainment activities in the ranch, and I'm glad that everyone can hold some entertainment spontaneously. Tang Ming said, "Why don't we hold a horse race in the name of the ranch?"
"Horse racing, boss, what do you think?" Mike asked.
"I also had the idea that since everyone loves horse racing, let's have a big one, everyone in the ranch can participate, and choose the strongest group from all the contestants, let them compete, and the winner can get some prizes. Tang Ming said.
"Yes, but it's too monotonous to be just one game, you can play a few more, you can also add more events, such as hurdle jumping, horse racing and so on. Cornelia said.
"My wife is right, one race is really too monotonous, so add more events, plus hurdle jumping and horse racing. Tang Ming said.
"It's a good idea, I think everyone will like it, and if the boss can reward some prizes, everyone will be even happier. Mike said.
"Mike, what do you say should be used as a prize?" Tang Ming asked.
"You're the boss, you have the final say, I can't be your master. Mike said.
"I want to think about ......it," Tang Ming thought for a while, and said, "How about gold? Isn't there a track and field golden league in the world? Let's also have a horse racing gold grand prix." ”
"Absolutely. Mike said.
"Then, each champion will be rewarded with 10 kilograms of gold, the runner-up will be awarded 5 kilograms of gold, the third runner-up will be awarded 1 kilogram of gold, and each finalist will also have some small prizes as encouragement. Tang Ming said.
"Boss, the reward is too big, isn't it?" Mike asked, hesitantly.
"It's okay, it's not big, I'm happy that it's hard to buy a thousand dollars. Tang Ming waved his hand, signaling him not to care about this prize.
"Okay, I'll leave that to me, ten days later, okay?" Mike asked.
"No problem, it's set in ten days. Tang Ming said.
……
Tang Ming and Cornelia rode around for a while, Su Huiqin called and said that Xue'er was hungry, so they went back, walked to the door, and met Tang Xiaoyu and Shen Qiufeng, who had also just come back, Tang Xiaoyu asked: "Uncle, I heard that the ranch is going to hold a horse race, and the first place will be rewarded with ten kilograms of gold." ”
"This news is spreading too fast, isn't it? Even you know it!" Tang Ming asked in surprise.
"That's, what news can you hide from me in the ranch?" Tang Xiaoyu said proudly.
"You are Bai Xiaosheng of our Tang family, okay?" Tang Ming finished speaking and walked into the house.
"Uncle, wait. Tang Xiaoyu stopped him and said, "Uncle, you haven't told me if it's true." ”
"It's true, but it's not that the first place has a 10 kilogram gold prize, but that each first place has a 10 kilogram gold prize. Tang Ming stopped and turned around and said.
"Really, what other projects are there besides flat horse racing?" Tang Xiaoyu said.
"Isn't there no news in the ranch that can be hidden from you, you can inquire yourself. After Tang Ming finished speaking, he didn't pay attention to him anymore, and turned around and went upstairs.
"Just ask, you think I can't ask, I'm just too lazy to ask. Tang Xiaoyu muttered behind him.
Tang Ming returned to the house and made a call to Stilwell to ask him to prepare the prize.
"Three gold bricks of ten, five and three kilograms, two hundred gold bars of one hundred grams, and four thousand small gold ornaments weighing a few grams, I am right. Stilwell said.
"Yes, hurry up and prepare, and send it to the ranch within ten days. Tang Ming said.
"Okay. Stilwell agreed, "But boss, you can't favor one over the other, the people in the mining company are also your employees." ”
"I've also learned the idiom of favoring one over the other!" Tang Ming smiled, "Then what do you think?"
"I've been studying hard Chinese, and my idea is ......," Stilwell thought for a moment and said, "Boss, I'll ask when I go back to the office, if anyone wants to participate, you can't stop you." ”
"Okay, I promise you, even if you participate, you won't get a prize. Tang Ming said with a smile.
"Boss, I'm not happy if you say that, we also have horseback riding here. Stilwell said.
"Everyone in the ranch rides horses except my baby girl. Tang Ming said.
"Boss, you're so good at hitting people, I'll definitely pick a few powerful ones to go over. Stilwell said.
"Okay, I'll wait. Tang Ming said with a smile.
……
After chatting with Stilwell, it didn't take long for Song Qian and Ou En to call, saying that they wanted to bring someone over to participate in the competition, and Tang Ming agreed.
Tang Ming estimated that Stilwell must have told them, but he didn't bother to pay attention to it, anyway, there were more people and it was more lively.
In the evening, Cornelia also said that she wanted to participate in the competition, which made Tang Ming's head big.
The next day, Tang Ming discussed with Mike and decided to add a women's group to the flat race, with the same rewards as the other three competitions.
The cowboys on the ranch all knew that there was going to be a horse race at the ranch, and everyone was practicing in the hope of doing well in the race.
Registration began on the third day, and by the end of the registration deadline in the evening, more than 3,000 cowboys had signed up, and the registration rate reached more than 90 percent, and most of them had reported all three events.
On the fourth day, the draw was held and the selection began.
After five days of selection, including the women's flat race, all the finalists in the four events were selected, and they are waiting for the finals to come.
