As soon as Dad Zhou walked to the door, he thought about something and asked Lu Xiancheng: "Xiancheng, I heard that your ranch has decided to sell a batch of pure-blooded ponies, but is there such a thing?" ”。
Lu Xiancheng said: "Uncle, have you heard the news? ”。
"Dad, let's stop playing with this horse, I'm not too young to be with my mother, I'm not around yet, if I fall off on a horse, I'll find someone to go to me!" Zhou Guangyong said immediately.
Dad Zhou ignored his son, turned his head to Lu Xiancheng and said, "It's not just me, many people have heard of it, saying that the ranch of Mr. Du's big bosses is ready to sell the little geldings born last year."
"Let me say so, uncle, I don't want you to buy these ponies, these ponies are all bad horses that have been eliminated! You can also ride for people to have fun, you can't pull a cart, you can't plow the land, it's useless for you to want it," Lu Xiancheng persuaded.
Du Guohao's ranch of these people, now adds up to a total of more than 100 fast 200 thoroughbred breeding horses, that is to say, there will be nearly 200 foals born every year, due to the lack of excellent stallions, most of these foals can be said to be useless, put in Japan These foals are even on the track that is running group races, and then slaughtered the fate.
But here in Gushan it is a bit of a waste, so everyone discussed, decided to sell all the useless stallions to ordinary pastures, of course, there is also a preferred level here, that is, tourist pastures are preferred, which is to let these ponies exert their residual heat. These thoroughbred geldings are only 10,000, which is much cheaper than imported ocean horses. The hereditary mares were sold to the first crab-eating breeding farms at a very low price and thrown to try their luck.
The price is right, and Du Guohao and Ye Yihong are the horses in the ranch, not to mention the speed of running. The appearance is quite good, and the ponies are guaranteed in appearance, even if there are occasionally one or two ugly horses. It's not too ugly. These two points alone are quite attractive, so many people are now eyeing these little geldings. But there were more than a hundred geldings. There are many people who want it, and everyone naturally has their own tricks.
"Dad, let's buy a little better, I've asked Xiancheng to help, and our family will also get two thoroughbred horses and run on the track" Zhou Guangyong listened to his father ignore him, and he was still entangled in the thoroughbred, and immediately said.
Dad Zhou glared at his son: "I'm not in the mood to raise any horses for you." Throw it in the racecourse if you like. I said this to Xiancheng because you Uncle Liu, who used to live in our house across the door, now sold the house to prepare for the ranch, the place is in Qianweizi Township, and now I am learning to engage in tourist ranching, I heard that this matter asked my head, when we were in the factory, the relationship between our two families was very good, and people also helped our family, and now I happened to meet Xiancheng, I wanted to ask Xiancheng about it."
"What a big deal. I see, I'm going to sell this batch too, about nine horses. If your friend wants it, I'll keep it for you, let's say it's still 10,000 horses, how many horses does he want? Lu Xiancheng said.
There are twenty thoroughbred horses in his ranch, and the three stallions he matched last year have no results, and none of them satisfy Lu Xiancheng, not to mention last year's horse, which is the foal that was born this year, and the level makes Lao Lu, who has always been demanding, feel miserable. That's a. As soon as he mentioned this, Lu Xiancheng was entangled, and his family is not without good stallions now. The Gouver is a very good stallion, but unfortunately it's still on the track. You can't just run these two races and pull it down for breeding.
In addition to the planing knife, there is also the Piri Yangqiu, whose heritability of speed and endurance is also very good, but it is too young, and it is only two years old now, and it is a little too early to breed as a stallion.
The problem faced by guys like Du Guohao is the same, everyone has just played together, and the horses they bought are very small, and the biggest estimate now is a five-year-old horse like a planer.
Because it is an epidemic area, excellent foreign stallions cannot enter, which is now the biggest trouble for Gushan thoroughbreds. Some people may say, if you are so rich, then buy one, an excellent stallion is not the price of a horse race, the stallion first has to prove its strength on the track, how to say that it also needs three or five international first-class champions in the mouth, this thing racing horses are more expensive, can be seen by Lu Xiancheng's gang of stallions, there are only a dozen or so horses in the world, even if people want to sell, which one is less than 10 million US dollars is brought back?
If nothing else, take Sunday Tranquility as an example, the Americans thought that its breeding results were not successful, and the Japanese bought it and spent 1.65 billion yen to bring it to Japan, where could Lu Xiancheng give up so much money.
"Can you stop gelding?" Dad Zhou asked again.
"This is not good, there are rules between our horse owners association! It's not just the buyer and the seller, but also the Club's staff who are present," said Loh.
The reason why it is so troublesome is not that everyone has nothing to do, but to ensure that the thoroughbred horses bred by everyone are better than the next generation, rather than the bad horses with the bad horses from generation to generation.
Hearing Lu Xiancheng say this, Dad Zhou had no choice but to nod: "Then I'll talk to someone later, ask him how many horses he wants, and give money when he comes to pick up the horses."
"Done! Uncle Zhou, when the time comes, you can just talk to Lu Yao about this matter, and I'll talk to him when I go back today, I can't think of such a soldier, you can talk to Lu Yao" Lu Xiancheng said.
Zhang Shijun next to him nodded when he heard this.
As soon as they returned to the front of the house, they heard someone calling at the door, and when they turned their heads, they saw a forty-man man riding on a horse.
Dad Zhou asked loudly, "Yu Laosi, what's the matter?" ”。
"Brother Zhou, when are we going to transfer?" The man on the horse waved his hand at everyone and asked Dad Zhou.
"The public ranch is going to be officially opened? When is someone else? Dad Zhou replied loudly.
"Someone else is this week!" The man on the horse said again.
Zhou's father said: "Then I'll also do it this week" thought for a while and said: "The day after tomorrow, the grass here is still enough to gnaw for a few days, and if the weather is good the day after tomorrow, we will move the livestock over!" ”。
The man at the door heard this and said, "Okay! ”。
After saying that, he turned the horse's head around, and disappeared from everyone's sight after a while.
Lu Xiancheng heard the word transition and asked Zhou's father: "Uncle Zhou, do you still use the transition for your little cattle and sheep?" Even if it is a little more cattle and sheep, just transport some grass back and feed it? ”。
The so-called transition refers to the herding of cattle and sheep to another place to graze. So that the grass in the same place where it is eaten grows, anyway, it is going back and forth. There is expert guidance here, if it weren't for the sudden start of animal husbandry. Everyone is in the dark, with the advice of experts. This is the public pasture, that is, a more remote township in Gushan, where there are fewer people and the land is more barren, so the public pasture is located there, and the public pasture is open for three to four months every year, one month at a time, and two months off. There are nearly 200,000 acres of pasture.
In addition to spending money on public pastures, there are also people watching the grazing, which is not comparable to ordinary pastures. And the weather is either midsummer or winter, how uncomfortable it is to run outside and live in a tent. But when it comes to money, many people are not afraid of hardship or tiredness, and remote public pastures do not hinder everyone's enthusiasm for making money!
"There are fewer cows, but more sheep!" Zhou's mother said: "Last year's lamb was not willing to sell, and your father bought more than 100 here."
"That's why you're still pulling my dad to show a movie? You're so energetic! When Lu Xiancheng heard this, he immediately gave a thumbs up to Dad Zhou.
Dad Zhou said: "I'm ready to hire someone here!" I'll be free then, and your dad won't be fine anyway, so let's have some fun with the two old men."
"Who are you hiring?" Zhou Guangyong asked. I threw my own work down and hired someone to do it. It's a bit like my dad's style.
"Your cousin and your cousin," Zhou's father said.
As soon as he said this, Zhou Guangyong stopped talking. Lu Xiancheng also guessed that this was a family helping each other to live, as for why Zhou Guangyong didn't intervene. That's also a private matter.
Since it's other people's private affairs, Lu Xiancheng is not ready to inquire about anything here, and he can't take care of his own affairs, besides, isn't it just a movie, the old man is happy, let alone getting a projector, how big a deal it is to buy a movie theater.
Everyone pushed the barbecue cart out, this thing from Zhou Guangyong's family was still bought with Lu Xiancheng's family, and it has hardly been used until now, and the charcoal or something is still neatly stacked. After taking out the charcoal, although everyone didn't let the two elders help. But where are Zhou's fathers and Zhou's mother's generation idle, Zhou's father is responsible for starting a carbon fire. Zhou's mother looked at the refrigerator brought by everyone, and went to prepare the barbecue vegetarian dishes.
As for the meat of Lu Xiancheng's people, in addition to the normal beef and mutton, there are pomfret half a palm, saury in the south of the Yangtze River, shrimp from Gushan Lake, and even more than a dozen raw yaks.
This time I didn't wear anything, and the brothers were dressed in meat around a table.
Dad Zhou came over and looked at it and said, "Why didn't you let Master Ma do it?"
"Time is tight, they don't say a word when they come back, and when we remember, Master Ma is not in a hurry to pickle......" Lu Xiancheng said: "But it's okay, let's change the taste."
"If there is meat, it will be made, and if there is meat, it will be made!" Zhao Lihui smiled awkwardly dressed in beef.
"Hey! It's been a long time since I've been sitting like this and wearing this thing, and now I eat ready-made, and I can eat four or five dinners at home a month, and that month will be free," Xu Zhenghe also smiled.
"Who isn't," Zhou said.
"Time is not squeezed" Zhou's mother interjected at this time: "Guangyong, you have to tighten up a little, you look at the parents of other people's Xiancheng, you can report to your grandson next year!" ”
Xu Zhenghe said: "Auntie, we can't compare with Xiancheng, his waist is full of money, and we have to make money here."
"What does it have to do with making money and having children" Lu Xiancheng immediately kicked Zhou Guangyong into the pit.
Zhou's mother immediately clapped her hands and laughed: "Xiancheng is right!" Start a family, start a family, you can start a business only if you become a family, Guangyong, you have earned money, hurry up and find a daughter-in-law to give us a grandson, we are in good health and can help you bring ......."
Zhou Guangyong listened to his mother mention this stubble, and immediately cried and laughed a little.
As for Lu Xiancheng, he and Zhao Lihui and Xu Zhenghe looked at Zhou Guangyong's face and were secretly happy.
Everyone was busy working together, and the work was done quickly, although the sky was slowly darkening, but everyone's interest did not decrease in the slightest, and it took half an hour to put on all the meat.
When they were waiting for the roast, Zhou's father and Zhou's mother snatched the job again, and Lu Xiancheng and the four of them held the beer and waited to eat.
Waiting for Zhou's mother to leave, the four of them didn't know what was going on, everyone talked and talked about the business, and the mouth either popped out of the market or the industry, or in which city they were going to open a new business or something.
For a while, Lu Xiancheng didn't think that the content of the brothers' conversations was from which department of girls was beautiful at the beginning, what kind of women he liked, to girls and making money, but now everyone is gathered together, but they rarely talk about the topic of women, and it is all about business.
It was about eight o'clock and almost nine o'clock, Lu Xiancheng was full of wine and food here, so he rode back to the ranch with Zhang Shijun. (To be continued.) )
