Chapter 004: Bitter Fruit

At this time, the breeding ranches in Gushan are thinking about the stallions, and now there are two outstanding world-class stallions coming to China to breed like a gust of wind blowing through all the breeding ranches in Gushan City. Now the Gushan is no longer the small county of the past, including the original Simangqingshan County, after several years of development, these two counties are almost gone, the original old county people almost all moved into Gushan City, more than half of the two old county towns are only divided into large and small pastures.

And in the most prosperous pedestrian street in Binshan District, a new style of French restaurant has opened, the chef is also a serious French foreign devil, here to eat that is called an expensive ah, but the food is quite authentic, as long as you pay for it, what French truffles, foie gras and the like.

Now Gu Changhe was standing at the door of this French restaurant, a little hesitant to go in. was hesitating, and heard the voice of his friend Zheng Liang behind him.

"What's the matter, our legendary jockey doesn't dare to enter this shop, so what kind of food will be expensive here!" Zheng Liang glanced at the door, and Gu Changhe, who was hesitant, suddenly spoke.

Now Gu Changhe said that he is the first jockey in Gushan, and no one can refute anything, not to mention the results of the peeling knife, as well as the second millennium of Pili Yangqiu, and at the same time, the good season is also ridden by him, it can be said that in the past few years, he has been calling for wind and rain in the field, and the only jockey who can be with Gu Changhe is the American jockey Mark Myerson, who is the exclusive jockey of the Windrunner, and is also the jockey of the champion horse such as the black dragon god and metallic texture.

Of course, now Zheng Liang is no longer the trainee jockey of a few years ago, and now Zheng Liangce rides a few good racing horses, although he only won the CI championship once last year, but the CII and CII can win a lot, if you don't believe it, look at the key to turn the Volkswagen Passat in the hands of this kid, and now Zheng Liang is in high spirits.

"I'm afraid there will be no good feast!" Gu Changhe said worriedly.

Zheng Liang stretched out his hand and pulled Gu Changhe's arm and walked in: "If there is anything good or not, let's eat if it's a good banquet, if it's not a good banquet, let's find a chance to invite it back, this matter is still negotiable!" ”。

Standing at the door, he suddenly remembered something, and asked Gu Changhe, "What about Qiu Gang?" Why didn't he come with you? ”。

"Qiu Gang is busy there, his stable has taken over the work of a new horse owner, and a few horses are about to enter the stable today and are busy working, just called me and said to come later," Gu Changhe said.

Although he said so, Gu Changhe knew that Qiu Gang couldn't wait to come today, because today's matter would hurt his feelings no matter what.

When Zheng Liang heard this, he hurriedly asked, "How is the horse?" If it's good, recommend me to the owner! ”。

Gu Changhe said: "The horse in your hand is not enough? It's almost four, and you still have to ask about the horses? ”。

"There are so many places to spend money! You don't have a girlfriend, I don't know if this woman is like a whirlpool made of RMB, how much can be sucked for you," Zheng Liang said with a smile.

Gu Changhe glanced at Zheng Liang and stopped talking, he had no interest in Zheng Liang's girlfriend Gu Changhe, but a little Zheng Liang was not wrong, this woman is like a money whirlpool, carrying a bag on her body without a thousand yuan to say that it is embarrassing to carry it out, in addition to having a beautiful face, she also has a bachelor's degree, in Gu Changhe's opinion, there is no advantage, just a loser!

But this is Zheng Liang's business, people are willing to spend money on such a woman, and they still spend their own money, Gu Changhe mentioned it once or twice, and then stopped mentioning it.

"By the way, Qiu just left Pglinton, why don't you leave, I heard that many bosses want you to ride their horses, if you jump out, it is estimated that your income can increase a lot now, half of them dare not say, 30% is no problem" Zheng Liang said.

Gu Changhe smiled when he heard this: "People's energy is limited, how can I say that I can play at the full level after riding in eight fields a day, I don't look like Qiu Gang can open the stable, and I am very good in the stable now, and it does not restrict me from taking on the riding of foreign horses, it is just that I don't want to take so much, a little more money is nothing to me, now the income of more than two million a year is enough, I want more championships, world-class champions, it would be unwise to leave the stable, you haven't heard that Mark is also ready to sign the Golden Banner stable." , and Mr. Lauren, if I run away, it won't be against the market."

"I heard that the Triple Crown will start next year, is it true?" Zheng Liang said.

The presence of the Triple Crown means that there are at least a few more CI races for everyone to grab the prize money, which is good news for both jockeys and owners, and after a few years of development, the Gushan Jockey Club's registered horses have not only returned to their original level, but also surpassed the 1,000 mark, and the call for the club to increase the number of races is getting louder and louder.

Now for the Gushan Horse Racing Circle, the most interesting thing is the news of the Gushan Triple Crown, which has been said for several years, but it is gone, and there is no trace of what time and how long it is.

The other is to increase the prize money of the competition, although it is in line with international standards, but the international people give Gushan or CI \ CII \ CIIII, that is, the Chinese level of the first, second and third level of the competition, not the international mainstream of the Gi \ GII \ GIII level, the most important of which is to put it bluntly is the problem of bonuses, two or three million CI can not attract foreign strong horses to join the competition, the gold content of the competition is naturally insufficient, this thing everyone knows that the only way is to increase the bonus.

Dubai people have hosted this World Cup for so many horse owners to rush together, and everyone understands that there is no other way but money!

But this matter has also been passed around, and there has been no news.

Now the Gushan horse racing circle wants to be with the Guangshi don't sprout, everyone means that we are the country's first racecourse, you Guangshi in addition to relying on the state license to issue lottery tickets, nothing else can be taken!

Of course, the Guangzhou Jockey Club also looks down on the Gushan Jockey Club, in the eyes of others, he is a red Miaozheng, and your private Jockey Club does not even have the qualifications to issue horse tickets, how can you compare with us!

Because of this matter, Gushan's "Horse Racing" and Guangshi's "China Horse Racing" have been fighting with each other, and almost none of them have stopped. Here is sarcasm and there is no shame in cheating, and there is a sarcasm on this side of the life of issuing scratch cards for a lifetime, anyway, horse fans on both sides like to watch local magazines step on each other, so every issue of such articles has been, for the sake of circulation, both magazines do not want to face, on this point everyone is the same: sales is king!

Gu Changhe shook his head: "I really haven't heard any rumors!" ”。

The two of them walked through the door as they spoke.

"Excuse me, do you have an appointment?" As soon as I entered the gate, a foreign girl asked in fluent Chinese.

"Mr. Xiong's seat," Zheng Liang said.

"Please come with me," said the waiter, who led the two of them inside.

I don't know if the French have this habit or follow the local customs, there is also a private room here, the waiter took the two to the door, knocked lightly, heard the sound from inside, then reached out and pushed the door open, motioned for the two to go in, and waited for the two to go in and then helped to bring the door up.

"It's coming!"

Xiong Ming and Hang Yuan, who were originally sitting and talking, saw Gu Changhe and Zheng Liang enter the private room, and immediately stood up and greeted the two with a smile.

And at this moment, the delicate-minded Gu Changhe felt that the boat of friendship in his heart had overturned, and the two of them were still as they were a few years ago, and they were in good shape, and it seemed that they had not put down the work in their hands, but the eyes that looked at themselves were indeed different from a few years ago, and they did not have the pride of going out for a walk a few years ago, and they were clearly careful in their eyes, and they were no longer classmates in the jockey class in their memory.

Zheng Liang was a little bit of a horse here, and sat down directly at the square table: "Just eat a little bit, why do you pick this place, we will invite someone to eat here when we are soaking chicks!" Too expensive to afford! ”。

Listening to Zheng Liang's words, Gu Changhe couldn't help but sigh in his heart again, Zheng Liang's mouthful has already shown the difference between everyone here, maybe this is unintentional, but it exposes Zheng Liang's deepest feelings in his heart.

"Changhe, you also sit, what are you doing standing!" Hang Yuan walked over and helped Gu Changhe pull out the stool.

Xiong Ming also said with a smile: "I have long heard that you are now in the famous horse racing circle, and all the track records under one mile were set by you, which is really amazing!" ”。

"The main thing is that the horse is good!" Gu Changhe sat down politely and said.

Xiong Ming and Hang Yuan are also quite helpless, now the two of them look back and see that their faces are full of tears, the original promised high salary has only been taken for less than a year, to be exact, ten months, and then they only get 80% per month because of poor finances, and then 70%, after two years, the original government has become private, and everyone has 40% of the salary left, and the rest has become a performance award, but I have never heard of anyone who has taken this thing, and it has lasted for so many years, and now it seems that there is no even this forty now.

The Jockey Club is already insolvent and even the racetrack has been paid to the bank, and where will the money come from to pay the wages of the workers, and the money that has been owed has also been lost, and the boss now does not know where to run.

As the old saying goes, thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi, Hang Yuan and Xiong Ming didn't expect that it was not yet thirty years, and the two of them became lost dogs and returned to their hometown, but at this time, what their hometown brought to the wanderer home was not warmth, but cold hostility.

Hang Yuan and Xiong Ming have obtained the qualifications, but they have encountered obstacles everywhere in finding a job, not to mention that someone has hired them, and it has been three months now, and no one has even given them the qualifications for the interview. I really can't hold on, so I came to ask a friend for help today, if nothing else, just to return to the Gushan Horse Racing Circle, even if it is to start from scratch, both of them are willing.

Both sides understood the reason for this meal, but at first, no one mentioned it, so they ordered the food and waited for Qiu Gang to come over while eating.

Qiu Gang actually didn't want to come the most, because Gu Changhe and Zheng Liang were both jockeys who couldn't help much, and he was a horse trainer, and there were horses in the stable, so he had the right to recommend jockeys to the horse owner.

It was not until half an hour that Qiu Gang was 'late'.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Hang Yuan and Xiong Ming glanced at each other, and then Xiong Ming spoke: "Let's invite a few brothers to come today, just for the sake of everyone who had a relationship in the past, pull the brothers, we are now dragging the family, not for my sake, but also for the sake of my children, you are uncles, now our two families have not received a penny for more than half a year, and we are all about to run for three people, what else can we do besides this."

Hang Yuan also sighed and said: "Now when we think about it, we regret that we didn't listen to Changhe's words and fell to this point!" Although we can't complain, but we have to live this day, we don't want to have another chance, even if it is from the work of sweeping the stables, we don't say a word! ”。

Qiu Gang, Gu Changke and Zheng Liang have now heard the news that horse racing in many second-tier cities across the country can't continue, but helping these two people find jobs, they can't do anything, Qiu Gang can hire two people, but his own stable is already full, not to mention the question of how much money to pay for the dismissal of the current workers, the key is that whether it is the Jockey Association or the Trainers Association, Qiu Gang can't explain it, unless Qiu Gang doesn't want to mix in the Gushan Horse Racing Circle.

Zheng Liang sighed when he heard this: "Dude, to be honest, it's not that we don't help you, but we really don't dare to help you!" If we help you, tomorrow we will become a lonely family, a rat crossing the street, you are embarrassing us, if there is a glimmer of possibility, my surname Zheng will not frown, wrinkle I am your grandson, but, alas! ”。

"Zhou Sheng has a chance, can't the two of us give a chance?" Hang Yuan said.

Zhou Sheng was the one who cheated and was sent to prison, and after two years in prison, he returned to Gushan and waited for the ban to expire and then re-obtained his jockey license, and officially re-entered the track half a year ago, winning a CII race, so he also returned to the prodigal son and went on the "Horse Race".

Hang Yuan and Xiong Ming couldn't understand why Zhou Sheng couldn't let himself start over when he had this opportunity.

Zheng Liang didn't blurt it out, but when the words came to his lips, he endured it.

In the horse racing circle of Gushan, or a little smaller in the Jockeys' Association and the Trainers Association, Zhou Sheng made a mistake, and after being punished, the matter can be cleared, and Hang Yuan and Xiong Ming are different from Zhou Sheng, these people are traitors, and they are traitors who came back to grab their jobs!

So although these people can still get jockey and trainer licenses, they want to get a job? Don't think about it, no stable will hire you, and no stable will dare to recommend you to their owners, because if you do, you will offend a large number of people and make it difficult for you to move in the circle.

This is not only an emotional problem, but also a big matter of interest, now Gushan College graduates of the trainers and jockeys every year more than 20 or so, so there are at least a third of the unemployed diversion, you must know that the Gushan College trained trainers and jockeys account for more than 80% of the Gushan Jockey Club, known as the Gushan system, one of the three iron classmates have a considerable right to speak.

Although people like Hang Yuan Xiong Ming also graduated from the first and second phases of Gushan Academy, and can also be regarded as members of the Gushan Department, these people have betrayed the Gushan Department in the hearts of many of the juniors who graduated from Gushan Academy, and these people are even more hated than the horse trainers trained by the rival Guangshi.

Now these people can't get along outside, so they come back to grab everyone's jobs, and in the eyes of the later generations of Gushan graduates, this is too light.

Gushan Racecourse is so big, the annual opportunities are almost rationed there, and if you want to get out, you have to grab it, which is already fierce enough, who wants to have so many more opponents, and they are also experienced opponents.

I'm thinking about reducing competition, even if I don't have the word traitor, I want to reduce the number of people, not to mention that if I don't kick you out now, wouldn't it be asking for trouble.

Qiu Gang thought for a long time before saying: "Dude, it's not that I don't want to help you, I helped you today, and tomorrow when I walk in the racecourse, no one will pay attention to me, I just got married, and the family is also eaten by people every month" After speaking, he stretched out his hand and took out a stack of money from his carry-on bag, and looked at the four stacks of 40,000 yuan.

"Why don't you go to Guangshi and try it, your standard is not bad!" Qiu Gang pushed the four stacks of money in front of the two: "This is the travel fee I gave my brother." (To be continued.) )
