Next chapter
Now there are two racecourses in Gushan, one is the official international standard racecourse, and the other is also an international preparation racecourse, the racecourse is in Binshan District, and the racecourse is more than 30 miles away from the racecourse, and now in the southeast corner of the city, in the mouth of the Gushan people, one is called the old racecourse and the other is called the new racecourse.
At the same time, there are two or three more equestrian venues built here in Gushan, but these do not belong to the Gushan Jockey Club, but are funded by the government and the private sector at the same time, one is a cowboy sports field and an equestrian venue.
Lu Xiancheng's side is from the racecourse, not the training track.
Although today is not a Saturday or Sunday match day, it is not a break for the staff on Monday and Tuesday.
On Thursday afternoon, the racecourse is open to the public, where children and adults can participate in some games related to horse racing, of course, if you want to be related to the history of Gushan horse racing, or the history of horse racing, you can also go to the horse racing museum on the side of the racecourse, where there are all the Gushan Jockey Club since its establishment, all the races and participating horses information and results, the previous generations of I champion horses and the head of the independent hanging out, which indicates the name of the champion won, the name of the horse and the name of the owner.
This is the hall of honor of the Jockey Club.
Because it is an open day to the public, the racecourse is still quite lively today, just like now, when Lu Xiancheng entered the private room, he saw a small children's 'horse race' held on the grass outside, and a group of men and women were riding ponies 'compete' for the championship.
The walls of the grandstand building on this side of the racecourse are corrugated, staggered up and down, and each small ripple peak is a VIP private room, the higher the line of sight, the better the price of the private room.
In the center of the top floor is a very eye-catching large private room, this private room is three times larger than the general private room, in the official competition, if it is a level II and III competition, sitting here is the family of the sponsor who pays the prize, and the helper can invite friends to come here to watch the game with him, which is a very dignified thing.
At the time of the i race, because the prize money came from the Gushan Jockey Club, it was said that this private room was auctioned, and there was an upper limit on the number, and this large private room was the most compelling place in the entire racecourse, so now it is slowly starting to have a little bit of a score, unlike at the beginning of last year, any old man can take a little love to take this top grandstand.
When there is no competition in the daily life, this is a restaurant open to the public, providing Western and Chinese food, and even Middle Eastern food, of course, the price here is not too cheap, on average it is much more expensive than ordinary stores, and it is not the average family consumption above the fifth floor, and it costs a thousand for two people to eat casually.
Lu Xiancheng and the others did not go to the top floor, but found a private room on the fourth floor to chat, and as soon as Lu Xiancheng entered, he asked for a fried rice for himself, plus a special sauce.
"You're here for fried rice! At home, Xiaomei didn't let you eat," Du Guohao saw Lu Xiancheng eating with his head buried in the door as soon as he entered the door, and couldn't help but ask curiously.
"Professor Xu sent me three ponies, and as soon as the children were excited, they couldn't help it, so they shouted to see the horses, and finally came back, and you people said that there was something to discuss, didn't I not eat."
Lu Xiancheng picked up the soup next to him, took a sip and put down the bowl and complained to Du Guohao: "Who knew that I was coming, none of you guys arrived, I said brother, can you not be so procrastinating next time, can you talk about efficiency or not!" You see, it's been half an hour, and now the people haven't arrived, and even you, the president of the Jockey Club, are half an hour late, so let's stop playing Spanish procrastination like this."
Du Guohao listened to Lu Xiancheng's complaints, and he didn't care, anyway, everyone is now old friends who can't be old, and their faces are also extremely thick, and he said: "There is something wrong with me!" After speaking, he took out a stack of red cards from his pocket, and then put them on the table: "Next month, the Capital Hotel, if you are interested, you can go there, no one can get it, but the ceremony cannot be missing."
Lu Xiancheng knew at a glance that this was a 'fine', this old boy was finally going to get married again when he was forty. Why do you say it, because Lao Du is now married for the second time, and he will get married for the third time soon, anyway, these people are divorced, and it is not a big deal to get married, Lu Xiancheng didn't go to his heart at all, as for going to the capital to attend his wedding, it would be even more of a shadow. The relationship between their family, who has nothing to do and wants to go around, smiling at the audience.
Listening to a few people sitting down to talk about Du Guohao's marriage, Lu Xiancheng buried his head in eating, and when the meal was finished, they all withdrew, and everyone was late.
Du Guohao saw that everyone had arrived, so he opened his mouth and said: "Regarding the expansion of the i bonus and the matter of rushing gi, the manager of the racecourse here wants to do everything he can, and the publicity on our side will be stepped up, even if it starts next year, now we don't have too much left in this time!" Brother has a meeting today, don't be off topic! ”。
The few people around the table couldn't help but laugh when they heard Du Guohao say this, Lu Xiancheng almost didn't choke on his own cigarettes, and when it came to the ability to go off topic, no one can compare to Du Guohao himself.
"Let's talk about a few games with heavy prizes, Gushan three crowns, one-mile championships or something, needless to say, and the five games of the Spring Festival celebration, the rest of everyone decided to add a few more, and there is mud and grass, what is the main focus on our side," Du Guohao said.
Ye Yihong said: "Sanguan, let's follow the United States, how about focusing on mud ground?" ”。
"The Americans are muddy, and there is no problem with us going to the competition here, I think it's still grass, although the Japanese play on the grass, but they don't bring foreigners to play at all, if we do it on the mud ground again, I think it's a bit repetitive, if you want to run the mud triple crown, go to the United States, let's still engage in grass here, and good horses in the United States can also attract it, my construction is that our competition is based on grass," Zhang Qiang said at this time.
"You've all thought about it, right?" Seeing that everyone nodded, Du Guohao continued: "Then it's nonsense, vote by show of hands, the minority obeys the majority, raise your hand if you are saved into a meadow, don't raise it on the muddy ground, no abstention is allowed, a total of nine people still have abstentions, and they can't play!" ”。
Lu Xiancheng raised his hand when he heard it, the reason why he agreed with the grass is because as Zhang Qiang said, if you want to play on the mud ground, the Americans can play casually, and the Americans do this better than the little devils, such as Mexico, Agenyan These horse owners are all mixed bonuses in the United States, and there are not many in China, and there are many in China, but the grass is a little difficult to play, so let's play the grass ourselves, supplemented by mud.
In addition to Lu Xiancheng, five other people raised their hands, and the Triple Crown Match was naturally decided on the grass court.
"Hey, Xiancheng! I'm going to get a ranch in Japan, and you'll be able to help you then! Du Guohao saw that the three crowns were set on the grassland, and suddenly remembered that he was going to build a ranch in Japan, and this year Du Guohao's horses were sold four or five to Japan, which made him feel that the purchasing power of the Japanese was very strong, so he was ready to build a ranch in Japan.
When Lu Xiancheng heard this, he immediately waved his hand and said: "I don't build it, now I'm being overshadowed by the little devil, not to mention the three crowns, it is estimated that I can theoretically participate in the Japan Cup, and the horses in my ranch over there are thinking about what to do, what are you rushing over to do, it's expensive over there!" ”。
"How?" Ye Yihong asked.
Lu Xiancheng told his friends about the call he received from Kishida in the morning.
"Damn, this little ghost is too careful," Geng Haven said.
Song Xiaojiang said: "It's not a day or two that they have been doing this, they are obviously open but conservative, besides, the little devil is really unlucky to meet Lu Xiancheng, you look at a total of more than 20 first-class matches a year, look at how many Lu Xiancheng took into his arms when he was 01 years, and he was almost halfway through, and the most important thing is that the horse owner is still a foreigner, don't you see that the Japanese don't introduce the horse owner later, and directly replace it with the stable."
"Yes, Xiancheng, you kid is too ruthless, the most successful horse owner in Japan's history is a foreigner! It's really not authentic for you to do this," You Guangfu said with a smile.
Lu Xiancheng bit his cigar and spread his hands: "Then what can I do?" You can't tie the four legs of a good opera, and you can't complain about society when you're ugly."
In Lu Xiancheng's opinion, his results in Japan are indeed a bit troublesome, a few horses such a lap, and then the Japanese in the first class from 01 to 03 on their side and the Japanese horse owners on their own side, their own horses can almost win a third of the GI championship, that is, seven to eight games, which is really embarrassing.
Of course, this also erected Lu Xiancheng's reputation at the same time, if there is no such reputation, the heirs of last year's peeling knife will not have the opportunity to enter the Japanese arena, and it is impossible to produce results so quickly, and this year's peeling knife bloodline horses will not be able to exceed the price of 10 million, domestic horses want to enter the Japanese market, it is impossible to be so smooth, in short, there are good and bad in this matter.
"The Japanese who sold the breeding rights of your good opera are also dripping blood, and one billion yen is just the breeding right, and the Japanese pay for it just to keep the good opera in Japan for breeding" Zhu Zihua said: "To be honest, if you hadn't stopped me, I would have wanted the horses at home to match the good opera."
"Is it really as bad a breeding for a good opera as you say?" Zhang Qiang couldn't help but ask again, any horse owner who sees the results of a good opera can't help but want to give it a try.
"It's not too good, it's a big risk, but it's really hard to say, even if it's one in 10,000 to see the sky and eat, it's out of a good horse, and we don't have anything to reason with, if you really want to touch this opportunity, then I won't stop you"
Some stables in Japan are willing to pay a billion yen, that is, they think that good opera has hope is another Sunday tranquility, but the gap between the truth and the ideal is sometimes a chasm, the breeding results of good opera, that is, the hereditary nature is very average, Lu Xiancheng kept it and definitely did not sell it, not to mention that the good opera itself still belongs to himself, but the breeding rights are transferred.
Du Guohao patted the table at this time: "Hey, hey, my brothers are off topic again!" ”。
Zhang Qiang smiled: "It's not you who caused it first!" ”。
"Let's turn back, let's talk about the first few big prize money matches, no big prize money can't attract these gas guzzlers" Du Guohao nodded slightly, admitting that he took everyone to the ditch first.
"Do you want to add the Triple Crown?" Song Xiaojiang said.
"The Triple Crown, plus the Triple Crown, plus the Chinese New Year Celebration and the One Mile Stakes, there are a total of 12 races, and I think our first year is about the same," Geng said after thinking for a while.
Du Guohao looked around and asked, "What do you think?" ”。
Lu Xiancheng pondered for a moment and said: "Let's just do it first, there are a lot of twelve heavy prize matches in the first year."
Twelve heavy prize races, the total prize money is not tens of millions of yuan, at least more than 200 million yuan, and even want to attract world-class horse racing to participate, the red line of the prize money must be drawn to at least 300 million yuan to go up, and now everyone finally deeply understands why playing horse racing is an aristocratic sport, which used to be called a royal sport in Europe, not to mention that the average small family is a dozen small tyrants who can't play together.
In the following time, everyone discussed the time of the race, as well as the various prize money arrangements for the race, of course, the distance of the track or something, in short, the twelve races have been talking about more than eight o'clock in the evening, and then the big frame was drawn.
