The good mood along the way made Lu Xiancheng stretch out the window from time to time and say hello to the big four-wheeled vehicle on the road, whether it was a coachman he knew or a tourist he didn't know, as long as there were cars in parallel, Lu Xiancheng would roll down the window, wave his hand to people and say good morning or something.
At this time, there are a lot of four **** carriages on the road, and almost all of them are in the same direction, and all the water is in the direction of the town. Most of today's cars are not filled with grass, but are full of people.
All the carts were equipped with shelters to protect them from the sun and rain, and there were dozens or twenty of foreign tourists sitting in them, needless to say, these people now have the same purpose as Lao Lu, to go to the training ground to watch the horse races.
For them, the horse racing in Gushan has become a tourist project, come to Gushan to experience the pasture life, in addition to eating mutton and tasting steak, the first thing is to learn to ride a horse, you can ride a horse to see the endless sea of grass. Or be a 'cowboy' for a day or two, and experience the pastoral life of herding sheep and cattle.
I have to say that Jiangnan is Jiangnan, as a developed province near the sea, many people are not too short of money in their hands, and it is not so crazy and troublesome to travel abroad, but many Jiangnan people in China can still afford it, so many people have become the first to eat crabs.
What's more, grasslands, pastures, and a few grass waves in the sky, cattle and sheep are dotted! How many people don't have a pastoral life plot of riding a horse to drive cattle and sheep in their hearts?
In the past, if you want to experience the life of driving sheep and cattle, you have to go to the western grassland, but now it is not so troublesome at all, you can directly drive with a car, and if you don't have a car, you can see the endless green grass sea in a few hours. For a time, Gushan Ranch Tour has become the first choice for short-distance excursions for white-collar workers in Jiangnan.
And when you go to Gushan, especially Binshan, you don't ride those short-legged horses on the grassland. Many of the ranches here are ridden with tall horses, and the experience is also the so-called 'American ranch' life.
This gimmick suddenly appealed to Chinese white-collar workers who did not have enough pockets to sneak into the tourist ranch experience in the United States.
As a result, the tourism industry gradually developed unconsciously.
Thinking of this, Lao Lu was a little heartwarming. For people they don't like, everyone generally thinks that this person will be worse than themselves. It's better to go straight to the food or something.
Lao Lu is not exempt from vulgarity!
Lu Xiancheng doesn't like Chai Sheng, and it's not a secret, and the common people who gossip a little bit know about it. So Lao Lu hopes that Chai Sheng is a second ancestor behind others, a bastard-style character! In this way, you can highlight your glorious image even more!
It's a pity that it backfired!
Chai Sheng and Wu Yonglei have a tacit understanding with each other, and the management of the entire township is thriving. Not to mention anything else, he went to the bank and even asked the big bosses in the town to borrow private money, and the borrowed money did not build an office building, and second, he did not invite guests to dinner to buy himself a new car. Instead, he went directly to the United States to buy nearly 3,000 tall quart horses, and after coming over, he handed them over to the family who was going to set up a tourist ranch in the form of a rental loan.
When the town mentions Chai Township Chief now, most of the people want to praise it, but this did not make Lao Lu change his opinion of Chai Sheng, but he didn't like Chai Sheng even more.
What Lao Lu hates most in his life is the person who steals the limelight of the protagonist! Especially when he is the protagonist of rebirth!
Speaking of which, it turns out that if a thing can make money, then it spreads like a plague, and you don't need to agitate and publicize it at length, and the common people will spontaneously sharpen their heads and lean in this direction.
Start with Avre. The closer you get to town, the more family ranches are coming in the direction of tourist ranches. In less than a year, there are nearly 400 tourist ranches that have been put on the horse and are on the horse.
The reason is that tourist ranches are the first to make money faster than breeding ranches. As long as someone comes all year round, there is income, and the ranch can only be recouped after selling cattle and sheep in the autumn months, although the ranch makes more money, but the work is much harder than the tourist ranch.
And for the Gushan people who are slowly getting rich, the risk of breeding pastures is also much greater. As the old saying goes, if you count your family property, you can count it as a house and land, and you can't count it with hair! Because I don't know when this hairy animal will be infected with the plague and get sick! A bad money is wasted.
Therefore, the entire Gushan Ranch began to slowly diverge into two types. Farmed and semi-farmed tourist pastures, and of course a third type. A pure horse breeding ranch, but now this kind of ranch is except for Lu Xiancheng and these people. There are only thirty of them, which are not counted at all, and they are still in the bud.
When he was about to arrive in the town, Lu Xiancheng happened to meet Afur, who was driving to the town in person.
Playing tourism, I have to say that Afur, who is an old beauty, is doing well, and has been mixed in Gushan for a few years, and Afur has a deep understanding of the bones of the Chinese people.
The waiters on her ranch are all foreign boys and foreign girls, and I know that the Chinese people now think that foreigners serve them very high-grade. So her ranch is full of foreigners, and all whites, more than half of the girls, and a small companion of men.
In this way, Avere's tourist ranch is not only expensive but also has to queue up if you want to book a room, if you don't make an appointment two or three times in advance, you can't queue up, and there are not a few people who rush to send money to this American female vampire!
Lao Lu, these people who understand know that these foreigners are not from the United States as ordinary people think, and in the eyes of ordinary people, they feel that foreigners are rich.
And these waiters are now all people from the former social and righteous countries of Eastern Europe, and now the life in China is called a bitterness, not to mention these countries, it is the women of Lao Maozi, and it is not one or two who have come to the country to be women who have lost their footing!
Besides, there are also poor people in the countries where the real developed capital is dominant, and there are many people who ask for food on the streets, and the Americans, British, and Avre are hired, but they don't want to be hired, nothing else, because even if it is the guaranteed salary in the United States, Avr doesn't want to pay. The salary of the friends who hire Eastern Europe is much less, anyway, in the eyes of the Chinese, the old and foreign ministers are the same, there is no difference.
Today, Afur drove a small truck with a high van, a domestically made Isuzu, and Lu Xiancheng walked in the opposite direction.
"Why don't you go to the game?" Lu Xiancheng motioned for Zhang Shijun to stop the car.
Avre laughed and said, "Just got a batch of horses back from town!" ”。
Hearing this, Lu Xiancheng stretched out his head to look at the back of her car. I didn't find any horses, so I asked, "Horses?" ”。
"I bought it from my ranch, pony! It's for the little ones who come to play," says Aver.
Listen to the pony. Lu Xiancheng immediately thought of his little baby, pushed the door and got out of the car. Pick up the carriage and look inside.
As soon as I stretched out my head, I saw nine ponies, and each of them was only about forty or fifty centimeters in size, a little shorter than Erha, just for the child to ride. Each pony is colored, which means that there are two colors on the body, white and brown, or white and black, or jujube red and white, and none of them are solid colors anyway. But these little things are so small. It looks cute, and when he sees Lu Xiancheng, he is not afraid at all, but on the other hand, he leans his little head and comes over to 'watch' Lao Lu.
"Buy me a batch for me, five or six horses!" Lu Xiancheng felt that he had to have this thing, and his own baby could practice riding skills when he was older, so he jumped off the pedal of the carriage after taking a look.
Afur said: "I'm an American pony, and there is still a horse in the training ground, do you want me like me or do you want to set up a land?" If you want to set up Deran, just talk to Du, and the training ground has also introduced a batch! ”。
"That's all you need to do!" Lu Xiancheng said.
"That's fine!" At this time, Afur saw a large four-wheeler approaching, so he stretched out his hand.
As soon as Lu Xiancheng saw it, he returned to the car, waved his hand with Afur, and the two said goodbye. One went home and the other went to see the horse races.
Entering the training ground, Lu Xiancheng went straight to the VIP room. This so-called VIP room is not open to the public, and its service object is Lu Xiancheng, the nine bosses.
After entering the hall. Lu Xiancheng found that the people who came to watch the game today were connected to themselves, Du Guohao and Zhu Zihua.
"What about the others?" Lu Xiancheng asked.
"They're all in business today, so they won't come!" After Du Guohao replied to Lu Xiancheng, he smiled and said: "Congratulations, you have surpassed half of the people in being a father!" ”。
Lu Xiancheng's circle is young, most of them are in their early thirties and less than forty, and almost half of them are not married at this age, of course, some like to wave in the pile of women, and some people just don't want children yet.
These are not Lu Xiancheng's concerns. Now Lu Xiancheng's mind is full of his own dolls, and when he thinks about it, he feels good.
"I heard that the training ground bought a batch of ponies. What is the point of buying this toy? Lu Xiancheng remembered the news he had just heard from Afur, sat down, took out a cigar from his pocket, bit it on his mouth, and asked casually.
Du Guohao said: "Attract tourists. After the racecourse, it will be open to the public every Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday afternoon, and some activities about equestrianism will be held, and these little ponies can be played by children, and parents will have to dig their pockets when they want to come."
"No matter what time the child has money, it is easy to earn!" Lu Xiancheng replied distractedly, thinking of the Pearl Disney that will explode in the future, and the second-hand host on the news was stunned and said that it was not expensive, and the price was about the same as that of the United States, thinking that everyone didn't know the exchange rate of the dollar and the yuan.
Du Guohao looked at Lu Xiancheng and asked, "Your horse today is great?" ”。
Lu Xiancheng knew that Du Guohao was referring to Piri Yangqiu, and opened his mouth to say: "The physical condition is very good, but there is no fighting spirit, and going on the track is to run and see, I have no requirements for it, and I have no hope!" ”。
"I'm relieved to hear you say that!" Zhu Zihua said: "I thought you were going to make the long distance boring after you dominated the short distance!" ”。
Hearing this, Lu Xiancheng glanced at his little friend helplessly and said: "The peeling knife is just a run, so far, I have won a championship of i!" Tell me that you two didn't win, didn't you?"
"We won so much that others saw the possibility of winning in the next game, and you are ready to crush it!" Du Guohao said.
Lu Xiancheng said with a little pride: "What can I do about this, I can't tie the barking knife to one leg!" ”。
"Let's not talk about this today!" Du Guohao said: "There is a news for me to tell you, the racecourse over there in Guangshi is about to be completed, and it is estimated that it will have to face the audience in October, and it is a regular racecourse over there!" ”。
"What does it have to do with us?" Lu Xiancheng asked.
"Thirteen horses applied to leave today!" Du Guohao said: "There are also some horse owners in Guangzhou, Fu and other provinces who also have this thought! The bonuses are similar to ours, and the cost of raising horses is much lower than ours. I got the news that the cost of a horse's stable for a month is only 6,000 yuan, while ours is at least 15,000 yuan, and there is still room for decline on the other side."
Zhu Zihua came directly: "! How could it be so low! Even if they are close to the port city, but the port city costs three, four, or five a month, how can they only need six thousand yuan a month for the stables! ”。
Du Guohao said: "The Guangshi side has already obtained the tacit approval from the top to try to engage in commercial horse racing, but it has not given a word. Therefore, there is a government subsidy over there, and there will be more support from Ma Cai in the future, and it is not impossible to pay 6,000 a month for the stable."
Lu Xiancheng knows that in the previous life, the domestic commercial horse racing has been in constant demand since the beginning of one or six years, and the commercial horse racing is not a question of whether to do it or not, but when and where to start it, some people say that it is Wu City, Hu Province, some people say that it is Cheng City, Sichuan Province, and Jiangnan Shi City, and some people say that it is Island Province, anyway, there are different opinions.
And when Lao Lu came back, horse racing had been in the business for almost ten years. Regarding the question of whether to let go or not, Lu Xiancheng naturally does not have to worry.
"Let's not move these thoughts" Lu Xiancheng said: "It's okay for us to do this, although the pattern of folk horse racing is currently lower, but we are not without advantages, and the United States Jockey Club Union is the advantage of our side, no matter what, we still follow the established tone, first strive for foreign horses to come to our side normally as the first priority." And the things that the central government has not issued a document to support are really unreliable! ”。
Du Guohao said: "I don't mean that, I mean that our side may be deserted next, not only Guangzhou, Hangzhou, the capital, more than a dozen cities are building no less than ten large and small racetracks, we may not be able to come to the cold winter, I think we are now in the stables, I am afraid that at least less than 300 horses!" It's not a good thing for trainers right now, and a lot of people can't eat."
"These are all small difficulties, and besides, our goal is to mention that Gushan is not only a racecourse, but also to think that we produce world-class thoroughbreds here, and this thing will be overcome slowly, and it is estimated that in a few years, life will be comfortable," Lu Xiancheng said.
Zhu Zihua said at this time: "Fortunately, everyone's business is doing very well, and if you don't have a few horses, it's just a little more money!" ”。
Du Guohao looked at the horses on the track below and said, "Don't talk, the race will start soon!" This one has my horse raced, and I'm waiting for his i to come out in early May! ”。
Hearing Du Guohao say this, Lu Xiancheng and Zhu Zihua focused their eyes on the arena together.
Now the scene is great, a qualifying race attracted more than 20 horses to participate, the stable fee for each horse, plus the cost of the race, plus the introduction of scratch cards, as well as the current jockeys and trainers, including the stables are mostly interns, the burden of the entire training course is not too heavy, the deficit of the total expenditure in a month is more than 4 million, and it is not much to distribute to nine people.
As for the racecourse that is being built in the county, it is a foreign debt borrowed by the county, and hundreds of millions of Lu Xiancheng people don't have to pay a penny, and now the biggest expense for everyone is mainly the prize money of the competition.
Fortunately, Lu Xiancheng doesn't spend any money, Du Guohao is true love for horse racing and is willing to pay for it, while Ye Yihong has the potential to become an immortal, not too entangled in the problem of money, the three of them support a big head, plus Zhang Qiang and these people dig a little in their pockets, it is not much of a problem to support.
As the development of the Internet becomes more and more awesome, Lao Lu believes that it will become easier and easier with the snowballing development of everyone. (To be continued.) )
