【Chapter 814】 Huaxia Rider (Ask for Subscription!)
The powerful engine sound of the F150 echoes in the valley, rolling up a thick layer of maple leaves on the road, forming a special effect like a long dragon, which looks beautiful.
A North American long-legged rabbit that had just tried to emerge from the bush was startled by the roar and 'whoosh' its head back, and there was nothing unusual in the bushes.
Not far away, by the creek, a herd of bison was grazing leisurely, and they looked up at the red F150 whizzing by, and began to enjoy it calmly.
In Montana and even in Yellowstone, bison are a very special kind of bison, they are strictly protected, and their meat quality does not allow some meat companies to take risks, so they have always lived quite nourishingly.
Driving in the thousands of square kilometers around Yellowstone, it's not uncommon to see drivers pull over and let these bison cross the road with their children before they can continue their journey.
Of course, in addition to bison, white-tailed deer, reindeer, brown bears and wild horses are the first to be the traffic rules, and drivers have always given way to them.
However, the number of wild animals killed and injured in car accidents every year is still countless, after all, the wildlife resources near Yellowstone Park are so abundant that drivers can't even predict what kind of animal will come out of the next corner!
Take Xiao Feng as an example, he has only been in the United States for more than half a year, and his F150 has already killed two deer, which makes his good record of safe driving obsolete.
When driving at night, some white-tailed deer stimulated by the lights often jump out of the roadside, and Xiao Feng's reaction nerves are too late to respond, but the cowboys on the ranch can taste the delicious venison the next day.
Now, when Xiao Feng is not necessary. It was so thrilling not to drive out at night as much as possible!
On this day, I was bored at home, and fishing was also very boring, so Xiao Feng simply drove to Bergen Racecourse not far away!
Living in Montana is full of fresh air and beautiful scenery. The pace is also quite soothing, the only downside is that it is sparsely populated, and the nearest neighbors are two miles away.
Fortunately, Xiao Feng is a person who doesn't like to join in the fun, if he is replaced by Xiao Qiang, he will definitely not be able to stay.
However, even so, Xiao Feng would often drive to Bergen Racecourse to chat with old Bergen and learn some knowledge about horse racing, and the two became New Year's friends.
For veteran billionaires like Bergan Sr., they always have some criteria of their own for making friends. Not everyone will be able to be his guest.
Undoubtedly, Xiao Feng's expression made Old Bergen agree with it, and he welcomed Xiao Feng to the racecourse, and the relationship between the two and even the two families became more and more harmonious.
During this time, Xiao Feng asked Old Bergen to find suitable Chinese or Chinese riders in the United States, after all, only Old Bergen, who has a wide network in the American horse racing world, has this kind of huge energy.
Although Xiao Feng's request seemed a little strange, Old Bergen could also understand it. Bergen Racecourse is not recruiting Germans first, and it makes sense that Xiao Feng wants to find Chinese riders.
Don't look at the United States, where it claims that there is no 'race, race, discrimination'. But those who live in this kingdom know in their hearts that this cannot be eliminated.
All things being equal, most consortium recruitment still gives preference to whites, leaving the rest of the race to rest, but this cannot be declared.
In addition, people including people of Chinese descent. The invisible glass ceiling in the business has become a major feature of the United States, and no one can change it.
Xiao Feng is keen on recruiting Chinese, and he will not make Old Bergen feel disgusted, as long as he does not openly express his tendency to 'race, race, discrimination, and disagreement'. Neither the law nor the moral public opinion will be difficult!
Every time he walks into Bergen Racecourse, Xiao Feng is deeply attracted by its profound heritage, which is the atmosphere of a mature racecourse.
Today, Bergen Racecourse has nearly 100 horses, large and small, who compete in different classes, and almost every horse has several people who serve it, and enjoy better treatment than ordinary people.
This is also an important reason why the American government strongly supports horse racing, because it can create a large number of jobs and stimulate economic growth, which has many benefits.
The horse farm of Dream Ranch is nominally a horse farm, but now it only has a horse called Black Miracle, and a trainer and two handymen have already included all of them. Even this horse farm can't have a place in the second-level units of 'Dream Ranch', and it is spent under Anderson's logistics department, which is understandably shabby.
In Xiao Feng's plan, after the 'Black Miracle' becomes famous in the American horse racing world, there will be many horse owners who are willing to send their racehorses to the 'Dream Ranch' for training, and then it will be considered to be on the right track.
Xu Mengyao has lived in the United States for some days and knows that horse racing is an important way to integrate into mainstream American society, and the importance of 'Black Miracle' and 'Dream Ranch' can be seen.
"After some inquiries from old friends, there is a Chinese rider at a racecourse in Texas who is not bad, and he is not very old, you can consider it!" accompanied Xiao Feng to visit the racecourse, and old Bergen handed Xiao Feng a piece of information.
Because Xiao Feng asked him to find a suitable Chinese rider in the United States, Old Bergen was still quite attentive and used a lot of connections.
It's just that there are very few Chinese and Chinese-American riders registered with the American Horse Racing Association, and a few of them are just fighting in some low-level competitions, and they can't reach a certain level at all.
As the original owner of Black Miracle, Old Bergen was envious of Xiao Feng for winning a top racehorse, but he was not angry because of this, but hoped that he could help Xiao Feng find the best rider and send Black Miracle to the top championship.
Therefore, he almost dug three feet into the ground, helping Xiao Feng find a Chinese rider of the same age and level, and simply took this matter as his own business!
"Thank you!" Xiao Feng thanked him and took the information and checked it.
The 25-year-old Chinese young man, who is working as a jockey trainer at a racecourse in Texas, is only 152cm tall and weighs less than 45kg, which is also the standard jockey build.
Compared to the selection of materials for ordinary people or other sports, the size of the jockey is quite important, after all, every kilogram of weight added to the horse will be multiplied by the burden on the racehorse. In a fierce race with only one hundredth of a second and a quarter of a horse's body, the difference is quite fatal.
Don't look at Xiao Feng's new contact with horse racing, but also know that the weight and body of the jockey have an important impact on the outcome of the race.
According to the information, the training jockey's hometown happened to be in Southern Yunnan Province, which made Xiao Feng suddenly feel a little cordial, and just for this, Xiao Feng felt the need to give him a chance to see his riding skills.
After thanking Old Bergen, Xiao Feng left Bergen Racecourse with the information and began to arrange for the Chinese jockey to go to the 'Dream Ranch' for an interview!
With the financial strength of the 'Jinghu Group', it is naturally impossible for Xiao Feng to fly to Texas in person, that would be too exaggerated!
…………
After Chen Yang left from William's Racecourse, he dragged his tired body for a long time, and then rushed to the bus stop and took the bus back to the city.
The racecourse is located in the suburbs of Austin, and the owners who usually come and go here are driving luxury cars, even those formal trainers and jockeys are very wealthy, where can they be as downtrod as Chen Yang?
It has been five years since Chen Yang came to the United States, and even if he has good skills, because of his Chinese status, there is no horse owner willing to hire him as a full-time jockey, and he can only work as a training jockey at the racecourse to help train some recovering racing horses.
In order to make ends meet, Chen Yang also works in a Chinese supermarket in the city center, so he has to rent a house in the city, and he has to go back and forth between the horse farm and the city every day.
Sometimes, Chen Yang also wonders whether it is worth it for him to come to the United States for so many years for horse racing.
Sometimes, Chen Yang really wants to give up and work full-time in other industries, maybe he won't be so embarrassed.
However, when he thought of his original dream, and when he thought of those cute and empathetic racehorses, Chen Yang's originally tired heart was full of strength.
Shaking his head, Chen Yang saw that there was still about half an hour's drive before he got off the car, and hurriedly hurried to squint for a while, and he had to go to the supermarket to work after dinner.
Chen Yang didn't know that thousands of miles away in Montana, one of his fellow villagers in southern Yunnan was researching his own information and learning about his resume through various channels.
Chen Yang will not realize what kind of life will change once he is selected by Xiao Feng to become a training rider or even a competition jockey of the 'Black Miracle'?
Now Chen Yang is just a training jockey who is waiting for an opportunity, maybe his chances of becoming a competition jockey are very small, and only a dream remains.
For his dream, Chen Yang has paid too much, but even he doesn't know if the dawn can appear in his world?
After finishing his work in the supermarket, Chen Yang was already physically and mentally exhausted after work, he walked on the streets of Austin late at night, and the shadows under the neon lights could see dark creatures and women standing on the street from time to time, which made him somewhat frightened.
However, in order to save money, he can only live in this kind of mixed area, and every time he comes home from work late at night, it is a great test for his nerves and spirit.
Almost hanging his heart all the way, after returning to the apartment and closing the door, Chen Yang breathed a sigh of relief, lay on the bed and quickly fell asleep.
Chen Yang would not know that when the sun rises, his world will be turned upside down......!
