Chapter 001 of the text Gushan City

Next chapter

On this day in April and early May, the weather in Gushan is very good, the sun is shining, the sky is high and the clouds are low, even if you are walking on the road, the air you breathe is a little refreshing.

People who have been to Gushan will sigh at the most significant feature of Gushan, a new city, that there are many trees! Walking on the streets of Gushan and not seeing the common French Wutong in ordinary cities, almost every street here is a kind of street tree, and many street names are also derived from street trees, such as zelkova street, elm avenue and the like, which can be seen everywhere in the map.

The area of the entire Gushan city center is quite small, not even half of the ordinary second-class city, or even more than one-third of the neighboring Pinggu City, and even people who have come here laughed and said that they can walk Gushan again in an hour by riding a bicycle. Because the city is small in size but has a large permanent population, almost all the buildings here are high-rise, and the general residences are more than a dozen floors.

As for why it doesn't expand outward like other cities, because there are pastures outside the city, and in the economic map of Gushan, the most basic unit is not a factory, nor a company, but this piece of pasture. Not only does the ranch provide by-products such as the famous Gushan beef, mutton, and wool, but it is also a tourist resource in Gushan.

Another focus of life of Gushan people is horses, almost all the life of the pastures in Gushan City is based on horses, and horse racing is the pride of Gushan people, and now the horse racing in Gushan has begun to go to the whole country.

Yang Ming is a businessman from Beihai City, and these people who come to travel are different, he came to Gushan not to play, but to buy a thoroughbred horse with friends, buy back to the racecourse in the province to run, not to win what kind of results, but to follow the trend, now the circle of rich people in the country began to popular horse breeding, just like a few years ago everyone played a nest of what golf, horse breeding has become a rich man's sport, aristocratic sports, anyway, it is a horse to play with a force, do not get a horse at home, You're too embarrassed to tell people that you're rich!

The reason why Yang Ming chose Gushan instead of choosing foreign countries is because of this friend, who told him that Gushan horses can now compete with foreign horses, and the most attractive thing for Yang Ming is that Gushan horses are not only cheaper than foreign horses, but also have no tariffs and customs time, after all, it is convenient to buy in China.

"Mr. Yang, good morning!" The little girl in the lobby of the hotel saw Yang Ming walking to the front of the stage, and immediately stood up and greeted with a smile.

"Well, I've booked the car!" Yang Ming said.

The young girl tapped on the keyboard and checked it, looked up and said with a smile: "The car is ready for the two of you, should you go now?" If you go now, I'll let the driver know! ”。

"Thanks, let's go now!" Yang Ming nodded at the waiter and replied affirmatively.

Seeing the waiter pick up the phone, Yang Ming and his friend walked to the sofa not far away and sat down.

"I really didn't expect that there are so many five-star hotels here in Gushan" Yang Ming sat down, looked up at the hall and said: "The second-level city that doesn't even have a train is a bit unexpectedly prosperous, as soon as I arrived here yesterday, it felt, wow, it's like going to Xujiahui in the pearl, all of them are high-rise buildings."

My friend smiled and said, "You still look down on this place?" Let me tell you, if you really make a list of China's richest people, not to mention everything, at least half of the top 50 are nested in this place, and there is hardly a single Chinese Internet company that does not have a Gushan background."

"It's really fake! I said Liu Lei, no one knows about this, how did you know? Yang Ming asked with a smile.

Liu Lei said: "I have a buddy who is engaged in the Internet, do you know where the first stop is to find venture capital? After speaking, he nodded underground: "This is it!" ”。

"I don't believe it, if Gushan is so awesome, why not set up a high-tech park, so many high-tech enterprises are swinging like this, the output value is ......" Yang Ming didn't believe Liu Lei's words. Now all provinces and cities are going crazy to pull enterprises, if Gushan has this resource, can this gang in Gushan City let go of high-tech enterprises?

Just as the two were chatting, the little waiter just now came over and bent down slightly: "Please come with me, two of you!" The car has arrived at the door."

took Yang Ming and Liu Lei into the car, and the waiter also helped the two close the car door, and only then went back after saying hello.

When the car went out, the driver looked in the rearview mirror and said, "The two bosses are here to buy horses this time."

"Can you tell?" Yang Ming asked with a smile, the best thing to talk about in each city is these Di brothers and sisters, and Yang Ming is also willing to talk to them, because they can know the specific situation of some cities.

"It's written on the destination," said Brother Di with a smile.

"Listen to your accent, you are a native of Gushan," Yang Ming said casually because of Brother Di's accent.

Brother Di immediately said: "No, if I am a Gushan person, what kind of taxi will I drive, the Gushan people who live in the city make money by renting a house, and the Gushan people outside the city make money by cattle and sheep tourists, and the stalls and restaurants here are not a few real Gushan people, they are all foreigners."

"Yo, isn't it really moisturizing for Gushan people," Yang Ming laughed when he heard it.

"What's the solution, people's parents give birth well!" The driver replied with a smile.

"Master, have you bought a house in Gushan?" Liu Lei said.

"Where to buy it, there is no Gushan household registration here, 7,000 yuan per square meter, and at least four years of tax records, temporary residence permits, just the house price is going to die, how many of our Shengdou small people can afford to buy, and the whole family doesn't eat?" And these people who build houses are so foreign, and when you go in, people ignore your ......" As soon as the house was mentioned, the driver master immediately turned on the grievance mode and began to scold the city government endlessly, anyway, from the mayor's secretary to the rental company, the driver master was counted down.

Anyway, almost every city is like this, and the mayor secretary who is not counted down has not heard it so far.

"Then you're still going to stay in Gushan?" Yang Ming asked.

"What if you don't stay?" The driver said: "I am not like the two bosses, now my biggest wish is to buy a house here in Gushan, get a Gushan hukou, so that my children can enjoy the benefits of Gushan."

As a tourist city, Gushan hopes to have more people to play, and does not want many people to come, and the city capacity of Gushan is also limited, as far as development is concerned, Gushan can be rich, but it is impossible to become a super city like Mingzhuchen City, because there are no such geographical conditions. Moreover, the development results are very important, and the per capita income is a certain thing, under certain conditions of the total amount, the fewer people who share the profits, the more conspicuous the political performance will be, so the entire Gushan City is very strict about the foreign population card.

Yang Ming chatted with the driver, and then passed by the Gushan Racecourse.

"This racecourse is huge! I heard that this is the largest racecourse in China," Yang Ming said.

"Of course, not only in the country, it is the largest in Asia, and all the equipment is by far the most advanced, the drug test can produce results in only one and a half days, and it is also the most efficient ,...... in the world that has a racecourse."

Yang Ming heard that the driver was so open-minded, so he said: "Yo, you look like a door-to-door!" ”。

"There is a saying in Gushan, those who can't ride horses are not Gushan people, and those who don't look at horse racing are not old Gushan people, and Gushan is the first in China whether it is equestrian or horse racing!"

Liu Lei, as a native of Guangshi, immediately fought for his hometown: "The horse racing in Guangshi is not bad, the total amount of betting in a race has reached 20 million, and the highest 50,000 people watch the race, how can you say that the Guangshi Racecourse is not as good as you."

The driver said disdainfully: "We are not allowed to engage in commercial horse racing, if we let it, what is Guangshi, seriously, do you think the racecourse over there still has the slightest credibility?" If you can't cheat at every turn, you will either stretch out your hand to other people's horses in the stable, and the biggest short leg in Guangshi is that there is no horse-producing land! We don't have horseland in Gushan, the credit of the Jockey Club is still the first, I don't see that the foreign devils have recognized our horse racing, since the Chunhua Cup in early March, there are horse races from Japan and the United States! Guangshi is just running in China, there are international competitions? ”。

At the mention of this Liu Lei is really a little blushing, cheating in Guangshi Racecourse now happens from time to time, every time it is a big thing and a small thing, and now it is getting more and more intense.

It's not that there is no Gushan here, but Gushan is dealt with vigorously and resolutely, and never tolerated, and now it is almost extinct, and the arbitrators of the United States and European Jockey Clubs have been introduced to supervise the fairness, and the competition is stronger than the transparency and fairness of the racecourse in Guangzhou, and it can be supported by the emerging horse fans in China.

After chatting all the way on the road, the driver master responsibly sent the two of them to the door, and even asked the two if they wanted a car when they went back, and if necessary, they could pick up the two of them, which made the two feel very good.

After thanking the master, the two went into the ranch.

"Yo, Mr. Liu!" The rancher greeted the two of them at this time, and greeted the two with a spring breeze.

"Mr. Yang, this is the owner of the racecourse, Liu Haidong, my family, Boss Liu!" Liu Lei said to Yang Ming.

"What kind of boss, we are guests when we meet, call me Lao Liu, Haidong is Cheng" Liu Haidong said enthusiastically: "Go, go, let's talk inside."

While following Yang Ming to the ranch, Yang Ming looked at the horses in the ranch, Yang Ming saw the horses in the ranch for the first time, originally thought that these horses were running freely in the pasture in a group, who knew that when he arrived here, he found that it was not at all as he thought, and every horse in the ranch was fenced in a European area.

"My friend wants to buy a horse," Liu Lei said to Liu Haidong.

"At what price, do you have any results?" Liu Haidong asked.

"Look at the quality of the horse," Liu Lei did not give a price, but vaguely passed.

Liu Haidong Racecourse has been engaged in for several years, and there are many such guests, so he immediately said with a smile: "Then are you going to buy a foal or are you going to be able to run as soon as you buy it?" ”。

"Two-year-old horse! If you buy it and train it, you can go on the track," Yang Ming said.

"Done! Follow me! After speaking, Liu Haidong led the two of them to his innermost stable.

When I arrived at the stable, I began to introduce my horses one by one, Liu Haidong's stables were single-row, not luxurious, with brick walls and wooden partitions, the eaves corridor was directly cement pillars, and the horse compartment was not a floor, but a thick layer of wood chips directly on the cement floor.

Although the stables are simple, Yang Ming is still a little dazzled when he first arrives, every horse here is very well cared for, and the coat color is very beautiful, even more beautiful than the horses in the racecourse in the city.

"I've looked around, and almost all of my good two-year-olds here are here now," Liu Haidong said as he walked from beginning to end with the two of them, looking at a total of sixteen or seventeen two-year-old ponies.

"What's the price of this horse?" Yang Ming took two steps back, patted a horse he liked and asked.

"Two hundred thousand! You have a good vision, this horse has a good pedigree, the son of the champion Sir Ma Jinyi, and now the results of the same father Sir Heiyi are also quite good, he just won three IIs and one I last year, and the results of another sire horse Sir Green are also good, and the same father horse has won five open races......" Liu Haidong immediately began to tell Yang Ming.

"This horse can win Gushan?" Yang Ming asked.

As soon as Liu Haidong heard the guest ask, he immediately understood, this first-time horse buyer, if it weren't for the fact that no one would have asked like this, could he win Gushan's i? You really dare to ask, you can't buy two million horses that can win Gushan I, let alone 200,000!

However, the door is a guest, and Liu Haidong is not easy to spit, so he has to explain with a smile: "Don't talk about 200,000 horses, even 20 million horses, no one guarantees that it can win Gushan's i, buying a horse is to put it bluntly, the councillor is gambling, and the eyesight of gambling is experience!" Our breeding ranch only sells horses to ensure the pedigree and health of the horses! But no matter what, if I promise you this thing, I will be punished when it is passed to the Jockey Club! ”。

"Where's the one over there?" Yang Ming glanced at Liu Lei next to him, looked at his friend and nodded, and then changed to another horse.

"This one is a little cheaper, 150,000!" Liu Haidong said.

"This is a very beautiful, tall and sturdy horse" Yang Ming was immediately attracted when he saw this horse, his shoulder height was higher than Yang Ming's, and it was really a tall horse.

Liu Lei took a fancy to a horse next to this horse, this horse gave Liu Lei a feeling of calm and indifferent, and inadvertently walked over, immediately attracting the attention of this horse, only to see it look up at himself, his two big eyes full of curiosity.

Reaching out and patting the horse's nose, Liu Lei asked, "How much is this horse?" ”。

"Three million seven thousand, no two prices!"

Suddenly, this price startled Liu Lei and Yang Ming.

"So expensive!" (To be continued.) )
