373 Trade-offs
Barney arrives at the ranch with the owner, and it's time to start buying the racehorses, which is a big deal. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ļ½ļ½ļ½Uļ½Eć ļ½ļ½ļ½ļ½
The bald Jason and the trainer he brought with him watched the horses for a while, and they were basically satisfied, and they could see that this half-sized foal did have great potential and performed very well.
Professional things are left to professionals, and Jason, who invests on Wall Street, now wants to talk to Zhang Hao.
"I've heard a lot of stories about you, and a lot of people now consider you to be the most successful horse racing expert. Jason is telling the truth, Zhang Hao's reputation in the racing circle is not small, "This racehorse looks great, and if nothing else, my partners and I are willing to pay a sum of money for it." ā
Zhang Hao was very happy and said with a smile, "This will be a great investment, and it has the strength to get the prize money in the Triple Crown." ā
Jason was a little curious, even though he wanted to be a horse owner, but like many wealthy people, horse racing was a hobby, and they didn't necessarily know much about these things.
"I've heard a lot of people say that there are a lot of good racehorses at your racecourse, and they are basically on the first class track. Jason was concerned about this and asked seriously, "Is that so, will it be better than those racehorses?"
Zhang Hao was not embarrassed, and said directly, "My horse farm has indeed produced many good racehorses, but I can guarantee that this horse will be the best one, at least the best horse produced by my horse farm so far." ā
In the past few years, Zhang Hao has always asked Barney and Phil to find some potential racehorses, and many racehorses just tap their potential and then sell them, basically to earn a 'training fee'. But to really say that there are particularly potential racing horses, which Zhang Hao has been patiently cultivating, and it is really pitiful.
Jason was called over by the horse trainer and others he brought, and Barney ran over, quietly making a gesture to Zhang Hao, basically no problem.
"Hao, congratulations, you're going to make a lot of money!"
Zhang Hao also smiled, "You are the same, this time you will also have a good commission." ā
Barney immediately laughed, this racehorse belongs to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao has always been cultivating, this is not one of those short-term training horses, Barney has no shares. Although Zhang Hao made a lot of money, Barney will also have a good commission, which is even higher than many people's annual salary.
Now that he has a family and a business, Barney is naturally more mature and sensible, and now making money is not a blind spending. Although many families in the United States do not have the habit of saving, more people still have relatively average incomes, and the other is that the economy in the United States has not been particularly prosperous in recent years, and many families are also under economic pressure.
Being able to earn more money and save some money is a very important thing for more and more American families.
Although he couldn't sign the acquisition contract immediately, Zhang Hao was not in a hurry for a while; the aroma of wine was not afraid of deep alleys, and he had excellent horses in his hands, as long as he released the news that he wanted to sell, then naturally there would be horse owners who flocked to it.
Back at home, Christina, who was teaching the wolf to walk, said, "Professor Sean called, you go and call him back, he has something to look for you." ā
Zhang Hao sighed, Professor Sean was the guide who brought Zhang Hao into the circle of zoologists, if it weren't for Professor Sean, Zhang Hao would have had to work a lot to be recognized by the academic circle. also because he helped Zhang Hao introduce some funds, so that Zhang Hao did a lot of things that he liked and was interested in.
The money that should be paid is definitely indispensable, but at least Zhang Hao is now able to choose the project he likes, and if he pays taxes directly, he is a taxpayer. But spending on some charitable funds, Zhang Hao can also get a good reputation, including many animal protection organizations and research projects can open some convenient doors for Zhang Hao.
Although there were some unpleasant things that happened at the beginning of their acquaintance, Zhang Hao and Professor Sean have long forgotten those things now;
"Professor, do you have something to do with me? Is it a gray wolf thing, I don't have much interest in gray wolf research now, unless it's a very special project. ā
Zhang Hao was not polite to the point, and Professor Sean was not cloudy, "That's the case, I heard that there is a brown bear next to your ranch, and it has a very good relationship with you, is that so?"
There is nothing to hide, Zhang Hao said, "Yes, there is indeed such a bear." But professor, it doesn't have much to do with me, it's a very smart bear, and I don't think it has much research value. ā
Professor Sean interrupted Zhang Hao and continued, "I'm not an expert on bears, and I'm not interested in bears. I've only heard that, and I know that no matter how smart that bear is, there needs to be someone who knows bears well, someone who really understands bears, or they're the next Trierved. ā
Zhang Hao laughed, he still knew the story of Trierweed, who was originally a troubled man, but after entering Alaska, he became a perennial observer of grizzly bears, and would go to Alaska to observe bears for five years in a row.
But in the end, he was eaten by a bear, and even his girlfriend lost his life.
Although many people are moved by his story and think that he is an animal protector and so on, they will sympathize with and admire him. But for some zoologists, they don't think very highly of Trialweed.
Although Trierweed captured many precious images of brown bears in action, he was not professional, cautious, and even unprofessional enough to make some people think that they could actually get up close and personal with bears. The result is a tragedy in which they are attacked by brown bears, Trillweed screams in misery, and his girlfriend is killed.
This seems to be a very tragic heroic feeling, but the reality is very cruel.
Zhang Hao patiently listened to what Professor Sean said, and probably understood: there was an expert in bear biology who knew about Zhang Hao, and knew that Zhang Hao seemed to understand bears very well, so he wanted to invite Zhang Hao to participate in a certain study.
Zhang Hao said that he needed to think about this matter and go to Alaska to observe the Kodiak Island brown bear, the largest of all brown bears. Zhang Hao was indeed interested, but a little hesitant, although Professor Sean said that he would not get up close and personal with bears like Trierweid, who aspires to be a wildlife conservationist, and did say that he would do a good job of safety.
But Zhang Hao still felt a little hesitant, because this is a long-term observation plan, this is not a week or two, this is a few months, this is what makes Zhang Hao quite difficult.
He was really interested in it, and there wouldn't be much danger as long as he was safe. However, after a few months, he couldn't bear it, so even if Professor Sean seemed to be instigating, Zhang Hao still felt that he didn't want to go, he still wanted to stay at home more, he couldn't let go of his wife and children, and it was also because his industry needed to be watched.
The identity of a zoologist is just a hobby of Zhang Hao, not a job, so it is still necessary to distinguish priorities; it is okay to be interested, but you still can't delay serious things because of hobbies.
Zhang Hao, who walked out of the study, watched Christina bending over and helping the little wolf to learn to walk, and the hesitation in his heart immediately disappeared.
Walk over and take over Christina's work, so that she can relax, children who learn to walk need good guidance and protection, although there are indeed walkers or toddlers at home, but these things are not particularly liked by the little wolf.
More of them are still tossing adults, and adults are willing to walk only when they bend over, and every time someone helps them, the little guy will walk very happily, and the little fat legs are fast.
It's tiring, at least for adults to bend over all the time.
"Professor Sean was supposed to want me to observe the bears, but I refused. If you're going to Alaska, it's okay if it's just for a few days, but this time it's going to be a few months. I'm a little interested, but my ranch can't live without me. ā
Christina trotted in front, interacting with the little wolf, watching her fat son smile milkily and then moving her little short legs to chase very happily.
Of course, I was also very happy with Zhang Hao's choice, "That's great, if you run to be with Xiong all day, I can guarantee that our son won't call Dad when he sees you again." ā
The little wolf is working hard to learn to walk, Zhang Hao always feels that the fat son doesn't care at all when he learns to walk; this little guy really doesn't need to bother at all, he doesn't care about it at all, he doesn't need to worry about falling, and he doesn't care whether he is stepping on it or not, anyway, he keeps shaking his little short legs and running forward.
It's really hard, just bending over and holding the little guy all the time, and you really need to have a good waist, otherwise you really can't stand it.
"Little wolf, come to Mommy, Mommy is here. ā
The little wolf smiled milkily, although his father supported him, but the little one didn't care about his father at all, he opened his little hand and wanted to run to his mother, but now he only had his mother in his eyes.
The little wolf staggered and staggered, no matter how encouraged his parents were, the little guy just resolutely did not take the first step, he was responsible for standing and then being silly......
Zhang Hao and Christina sighed, the little wolf was already able to stand up, and his little arms and legs were also very strong, but this little guy seemed to be willing to tease his parents, he seemed to enjoy seeing his parents in a hurry, anyway, he resolutely did not walk......
Not only does he not walk, no matter how he guides and educates, the little guy does not learn to call people, but when he sees Lobo and them, he is immediately happy not only wolf howl and dog bark, but also seems to be a little animal he knows, this little villain can learn and look like it.
