"Lu Jun!"

"Lu Jun, I haven't seen you for a long time!"

As soon as he entered the auction hall, Lu Xiancheng kept hearing people greeting him, some of them Lu Xiancheng knew him, and even some of them looked a little familiar, but some of them Lu Xiancheng himself didn't have the slightest impression.

"Hello, hello!" Lu Xiancheng is here to operate a sentence or two of daily Japanese, anyway, those who come up to say hello will come back to the people with a smiling face, and from time to time follow the local customs, come to Japanese roasted mud chicken frog or something.

As soon as he said hello to someone, Lu Xiancheng whispered in Chinese to Keisuke Kishida next to him: "Who is this person?" ”。

Listening to Lu Xiancheng's words, Du Guohao and the others who were following him couldn't help but smile slightly.

Ye Yihong said with a smile: "None of you know that greeting people is like the real thing!" ”。

"I just don't know it's hot! Nodding in knowing, it's done" Lu Xiancheng replied with a smile, and then heard Keisuke Kishida introduce which ranch this is, who is who, who, and so on.

"I didn't expect you to be quite famous here," Du Guohao whispered to Lu Xiancheng, and then followed the leading auction house staff inside.

"It's not worth it to be famous."

As soon as he talked about this, Lu Xiancheng immediately panicked. Now his reputation in Japan, especially in Hokkaido, is quite good, mainly because of Lu Xiancheng's 'Soma Technique'.

At the beginning, I bought a planing knife, and then I won and then sold it, which was the first batch, and then I helped Kishida buy two or three horses, and the results are now quite good, and the prices are lower than the level of horses, not to mention anything else, I earned back the money for buying horses with bonuses alone.

So that a pony farmer like Keisuke Kishida, who was on the verge of bankruptcy, has become a medium-sized rancher. Now it's still mixed up. Now in Kishida Ranch, the level of horses in the entire stable has increased by more than two levels, and it used to be sold for a horse for money, and now the price of almost every foal produced has increased by three or five heels.

If only Kishida is here, everyone won't say anything, Guan Jian is still the old Hashimoto, the old rancher who sold the barking knife to Lu Xiancheng. It originally became a joke for everyone, who knew that this shameless old man didn't care about other people's laughter at all, so he took advantage of Lu Xiancheng's arrival in Japan to come forward, bought a horse under Lu Xiancheng's guidance, and won two second-level races in a row two months ago.

Keisuke Kishida is the beneficiary here, and he naturally wants to praise his benefactor at some time, but who knows before he speaks, a short old Japanese man came over.

"Lu Jun, when did you come to Japan!" As he spoke, he bowed politely. Then he stretched out his hands and shook Lu Xiancheng, and the whole person's expression wanted to be respectful.

This person Lu Xiancheng met him and said with a smile: "Mr. Fujiwara, I haven't seen you for a long time, I have just arrived in Japan for a few days, and I just arrived in Hokkaido today!" ”。

"Last time, I said that my husband must come to me next time he comes to Japan, and since he is here, he will definitely appreciate it this time, so I will arrange it. Come to me at night, my home has the most famous hot spring bath in Hokkaido," the old man Fujiwara immediately invited Lu Xiancheng to his house as a guest.

When Lu Xiancheng heard this, he immediately smiled bitterly and said, "I really don't have much time this time. I came with so many friends and wanted to hold a horse race in China. I'm going to Los Angeles in two days, or I'll wait for next time, and I'll stay in Japan for a few more days."

Fujiwara immediately said: "Lu Jun's friend is also my friend, please be sure to appreciate it" After speaking, Fujiwara began to shake hands with the people next to him with a 90-degree bow, and then began to send out invitations one by one in his Japanese-style English.

I exchanged pleasantries with Fujiwara. Zhang Qiang whispered to Keisuke Kishida, "Who is this?" ”。

Keisuke Kishida replied in Chinese in a whisper: "I met Xiancheng at a foreign stallion auction last year, and many people were interested in snapping up an American stallion, and the results in the United States were very good, especially the results of the grass road, which was very surprising. The price is not too expensive compared to its results, and the starting asking price is more than six million dollars. Fujiwara originally made up his mind to buy it, but he happened to meet Xiancheng before bidding, so he asked, Lu Xiancheng casually said that I want to buy it and replace it with a horse, others didn't believe it, and I didn't know what state this person was in at the time, so I believed it and chose the horse suggested by Xiancheng.

"It's only been less than a year, and it's impossible to produce results," Ye Yihong couldn't help but ask.

Keisuke Kishida said: "The horse that many people grabbed was sold for 10 million yuan, and after three months, it was identified that it was difficult to impregnate the horse, and now no one wants to give it away for nothing, and the one that Fujiwara bought, with four or five ponies so far, is good, and now the breeding price has risen by 100,000 yen!" If you buy that horse, Fujiwara's ranch is estimated to be at least ten years old, and you say that Fujiwara can't be enthusiastic."

"I see," Zhang Qiang finished speaking, and glanced at Lu Xiancheng.

As for Lu Xiancheng's ability to take horses, Ye Yihong and several people know about it, and his own horses are also selected by Lu Xiancheng. But I didn't know that this person was so good at looking at stallions, and he suddenly looked at Lao Lu with a look at the father-in-law of the clean house.

"I didn't expect you to be able to see the male and the horse!" That's what everybody says.

Lu Xiancheng didn't have much to do about the enthusiastic Fujiwara, so he had to ask everyone's opinions, and now everyone was also very kind, so he had to agree to go to his ranch as a guest in the evening.

Hearing that Lu Xiancheng agreed, Fujiwara simply didn't leave, and directly blended into Lu Xiancheng's team and went to the auction venue.

When they arrived at the auction hall, everyone randomly found a place to sit down, because it was a racecourse, and the auction venue was still presentable, surrounded by horseshoe-shaped stepped seats, facing the auctioneer's big platform.

Sit down, and everyone chats while waiting for the opening.

"Does Lu Jun have any horses to look at this time?" Fujiwara asked Lu Xiancheng.

Lu Xiancheng just wanted to answer, but suddenly saw Lao Hashimoto walking towards him with a smile, stretched out his hand to greet him, and then said: "As soon as I got off the plane, I was pulled over by Kishida to see the horses, and I didn't come here to take a look at the auctioned horses." If there's a good horse, I don't mind doing it."

This auction is for two-year-old horses, and ponies of this age have naturally been simply trained.

After getting the hand, hand it over to the trainer, if it's fast, if it's two months or slow, you can go on the track in half a year, and you can see it quickly if you can't get results, and of course, you can see a little bit now. The results on the track are not visible, but now it is mainly about the pedigree and the shape of the horse, and at this time, the glorious pedigree of both the stallion and the mare will make the value of a good-looking pony skyrocket.

"I also have a crush on a horse here, but I'm afraid that the competition will be fierce when the time comes," Fujiwara said, "The pedigree is great, and it looks pretty good in appearance, and the muscles are really like a ......horse that is known for its speed."

After talking about it, Fujiwara said, "I'm going to take this horse for 13 million to 150 million, and if it is higher, I will not have the funds."

In fact, choosing a horse at this time is not lower than the gambling nature of choosing a horse when he was one year old, but it is even greater in Lu Xiancheng's opinion. Because you are optimistic about the horse, in fact, many people will also be optimistic, so the price will naturally go up.

Horses with these conditions in terms of pedigree and physique, in such an auction venue, it is not possible to buy it for millions of yen, at least the price is tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of yen.

It's like Fujiwara who has taken a fancy to such a horse, and it is impossible to take it down without bleeding. There's a shape.

As for whether the track can win the money back, God knows! It is estimated that most horses will not be able to win back their value. Some may not even be able to run out of the group game.

"Okay, when the time comes, you can show me when the horse comes out!" Lu Xiancheng said, 150 million, Lu Xiancheng has no interest in arguing with Fujiwara at all.

And now Lu Xiancheng's interest in horse racing in Japan has plummeted, and he said that the main reason for his action is to give Keisuke Kishida a long look. Of course, if there is a leak, Lu Xiancheng will not let it go.

But now in the eyes of old Lu. The Japanese are a bit too conservative when it comes to horse racing, and it's not an exaggeration to say that the country is closed to the rest of the world. Perhaps because of the large subsidies here, and in line with the principle that the fertilizer does not fall into the fields of outsiders, except for a few world-class Group 1 races, foreign people and horses are restricted in Japan. It's like a constant reminder that you are a foreigner and this is a Japanese racecourse.

Of course, if you say you're betting on horses, the Japanese will immediately welcome you with your hands and feet, because you're here to give money to the Japanese.

In addition, Japan has no political influence in the world, and with Lu Xiancheng's own development, Japanese horse racing and Japanese prestige are becoming less and less attractive to Lu Xiancheng, not to mention that Lu Xiancheng has put his layout focus on the Americans.

While the two were chatting, they saw that the auctioneer on the auction table had already entered the venue, and the people who were originally standing and chatting in the venue also quietly found their own places and sat down.

With the auctioneer's verbosity, the first horse was led to the center of the auction by the staff, and then the auctioneer began to say that the pedigree of this horse directly caught up with the previous three generations, and also chased the 'Northland Dancer', in short, this is a sire first-class champion horse, the father has won two championships of the Japanese triple crown, the mare has won one of the triple crowns of the horse, and the same father horse in the field now, the results are also good, winning six third-class races, three second-level races, two first-class races, and in general, the pedigree is very high.

It looks long, as a starting horse, this is a must, and it will not lead out a horse that looks like a donkey at the beginning of the auction.

The starting price of this horse was 10 million yen, and it quickly reached 40 million yen, and the price is going to soar from time to time.

"How?" Fujiwara asked.

Lu Xiancheng didn't speak, just shook his head and smiled bitterly. Not to mention that this horse is 40 million, it is good to be able to sell at the reserve price, but now 40 million is not worth it.

Lu Xiancheng just shook his head, turned his eyes to the venue, and immediately found that there was a very strange scene at the scene, cold! Suddenly, the auction that was still enthusiastic just now suddenly became cold, and no one raised a sign in the scene where he kept reaching out to ask for a price just now.

The auctioneer opened his mouth and shouted: "Sixty million! And no one is higher than 60 million......".

Lu Xiancheng found that not to mention half of the venue, at least 20 Japanese looked at his side.

Hearing this, the twenty or so people looked at Lu Xiancheng, and some of the people next to them were stunned for a moment, and then everyone began to turn to Lu Xiancheng, so almost everyone's eyes in the auction room were focused on Lu Xiancheng at this time.

Among them is the auctioneer, who is now counting sixty million once, sixty million twice, while looking at Lao Lu with bitter hatred.

People can't help but be bitter and hateful, because he gets a share, and the higher the transaction price, the higher his commission.

Now because Lu Xiancheng shook his head, the competition in the venue came to an abrupt end. Originally, it was estimated that this horse could be 130 million, but now it is only 60 million, and no one has raised a card before even half of it has arrived, and there is no joy at all after raising 60 million, and the whole face is crying and mourning, where does it look like he is happy to win the bid.

"Damn!" Lu Xiancheng quickly understood how much of a consequence his head had caused, so he said with a smile: "I have such a great reputation now?" ”。

Fujiwara smiled and said, "Almost, if I were to buy a horse and see you shaking your head at my horse, I must be very upset!" ”。

"So far, none of the horses have made mistakes, and this accuracy rate is really scary," Keisuke Kishida said softly with a smile.

The price of the first horse was set at 60 million, followed by the second, which was not very good, but much better than the first.

However, this time Lu Xiancheng learned to be obedient, he couldn't help others in vain, and he always had a smile on his face, and he didn't know whether he recognized it or not.

After two or three auctions in a row, the atmosphere in the auction hall finally warmed up. At this time, the auctioneer was already sweating on his forehead, and it was estimated that this person was also poor in donkey skills, and if the atmosphere didn't get up, it would be a bit of a smash of his own brand.

Even so, this person still silently raised one hundred and twenty middle fingers in his heart to Lu Xiancheng, who was sitting under the stage at the auction, and cursing Lu Xiancheng for not lifting it was even more like a surging river, and the results of the auction after a few horses were less than half of what was expected, do you say that the auctioneer should not be angry.

As soon as the venue was enthusiastic, and the surname Lu was no longer mischievous, the auction price was rising gradually. However, the auctioneer is still a little unsure of this, because even if every horse is auctioned now, many auctioneers will unconsciously look in the direction of Lu Xiancheng.

"You're so awesome," Zhang Qiang couldn't help but say.

"I didn't expect it either!" This incident was really beyond Lu Xiancheng's expectations. (To be continued.) )
