Chapter 463: Small Town Carnival
After lunch, the four women's energy was restored, so they started shopping again in the afternoon
At half past three in the afternoon, Pei Pei received a call from Marseille agent Wilkes -
Wilkes reported to his boss that he and Thomson had arrived at Bozeman's airport with the "Triple Crown" by this time.
And, as soon as he got off the plane, Wilkes contacted Joey, the director of Koizumi Hills, by phone.
Then Wilkes began to relay Joey's wordsβ
It is said that at this time, Damu Town has been lit up and the whole people are in a sensation.
At the initiative of the town elder Bieber, all the townspeople are ready to welcome the triumphant return of the hero of Big Wood Town, the "Triple Crown", with a lively celebration ceremony!
And this celebration will last for three days!
During these three days, all the townspeople can donate on their own, because the old Bieber suggested that all the townspeople of the whole town of Damu should raise funds to build a memorial statue for the "Triple Crown Horse", which was born after 29 years, in the central square of its hometown of Damu Town.
When Pei Pei heard this, she was already dumbfounded!
This behavior of these old cowboys is simply astonishing!
A horse, and even a memorial statue for it? Is it necessary to be so exaggerated?
But when I think of the 33-cent stamp issued in 1999, which is printed with the portrait of the great-great-great-great-grandfather of the "Triple Crown", the famous horse "Secretariat" -
Another thought - another famous horse, "Ocean Biscuit", during the Great Depression of the thirties and forties of the last century, successfully played the identity of a national idol who could entrust the "American spirit". Moreover, through the wonderful performances on the track, it miraculously inspired countless American people who were anxious and panicked, and then the American economy began to recover.
Afterwards, some people commented that, in a way, the "sea cookie" not only changed the fate of it and its owner, but also inspired the whole country
After thinking about it like this, Pei Pei has a little bit of a sense of the heroic standard under this strange thinking of Americans.
- "Okay, I see, other than that. Is there anything else you would like to report to me? Pei Pei asked Wilkes on the other side of the microphone with a wry smile as she rubbed her temples.
"The news I've gotten here is all paraphrases. Joey should call you in a moment and tell you about it in person. Wilkes replied.
"Alright, let's do it for now." Pei Pei shook her head and hung up the phone.
Immediately afterwards, she didn't wait for Joey's initiative to call, but opened the mobile phone address book and found Joey's mobile phone number. I dialed it directly
The phone rang three times. was connected-
"Hi BOSS. I was about to call you! - Joey's enthusiastic and excited greeting came from the other end of the microphone.
"Wilkes has already called me just now, and I heard that old Bieber is going to mobilize the townspeople of the town to raise funds to build a memorial statue for the 'Triple Crown'?" Pei Pei opened her mouth to ask about the cause of the incident.
"Yes! This was not the idea of old Bieber alone, but the joint decision of all the townspeople after yesterday's game! Joey replied excitedly.
Next. Through Joey's series of narrations, Pei Pei learned all the causes of this whole thing-
From the first day of the Belmont Grand Prix, almost all the shops in the town of Oki were closed.
All the townspeople stayed at home, watched the live broadcast on the television, or gathered in the Horse Lovers Bar to cheer on the Triple Crown over a beer sip.
And on the second day of the competition, it was even more incredible!
I don't know who was the first initiator, anyway, early in the morning of that day, all the ranchers, ranchers, and horse ranchers around Damu Town brought their families and cowboys to the square of the town in a huge pickup truck team.
On this day, a tall wooden row rack had been erected in the square of the town early in the morning.
There are four shelves, and on each shelf, there are more than a dozen televisions.
According to Joey, all of the televisions were moved from their homes by the townspeople, and a total of sixty-five televisions were placed on this wooden shelf in the center of the square.
Behind the shelves are two extremely powerful automatic generators, provided by the grocery store's Old Lime and the town's elder Bieber.
In the corner of the square, Flaray Sr., the owner of the Horse Lovers' Bar, brought in a pickup truck of beer kegs and put on a half-price sale for a special offer.
On this day, the whole central square was like a grand rally, and everyone brought their families to the central square of the town, and every family brought their own benches or carpets, all kinds of food snacks and the like, and of course, the most important telescope.
Once everyone is here and the preparations are complete, it's time for the race to get to work.
Then, everyone gathered here to watch every game of the "Triple Crown".
Those who sit farther away use binoculars to look at the TV screens on the wooden shelves in the front row.
Whenever the "Triple Crown" wins the trophy of an event, everyone in the square gets up and cheers, clinking glasses and hugging.
Especially when the first gun was fired in the last "1.5-mile dirt final" -
At that time, Pei Pei and the "Triple Crown" received a yellow card warning from the referee, saying that the "Triple Crown" had run away.
When I saw this scene on live TV, everyone in the square was angrily scolding the referee for blowing the black whistle and the game for having an inside story.
There are also some old cowboys who think of divergent thinking about whether there are black hands who don't want to see the "Triple Crown" win the championship in a row, and then several old guys get together, imagining all kinds of conspiracy theories, and worrying about Pei Pei and the "Triple Crown".
And when the race was at its highest, the moment Horse Six fell, everyone in the square exclaimed, and evenβaccording to Joey, Mrs. Scott, who was not very good, almost fainted in shock.
Just when everyone was worried about the "Triple Crown", and then there was a live broadcast of Peipei riding the "Triple Crown" to jump high and dodge the danger of being tripped by the falling figure of Horse Six, at that moment, the square erupted in enthusiastic cheers and whistles
Everyone had a belief at this moment! That is, the "Triple Crown" will definitely win the final victory and become a real and worthy of the "Triple Crown"!
It is precisely because of such a series of changes and dangers that happened after the opening, so when the final game results came out, everyone in Damu Town was cheering warmly, hugging each other, and spraying wine to celebrate.
A sudden burst of voices from the crowd - "Damu Town is the hometown of the 'Triple Crown', should we create a commemorative statue for the 'Triple Crown' in the center of this square?" At the moment of this loud voice, it immediately won the approval of countless cheering townspeople.
Therefore, the proposal to build a commemorative stone sculpture for the "Triple Crown" was born on such an occasion, and after receiving the support of all the townspeople, the town elder Bieber made the initiative - everyone raised funds and completed it together!
ββββββββββββββββββββ
After listening to Joey's narration of this whole story, Pei Pei's emotions were touched at once.
"Well, since it's the intention of the entire townspeople of Damu Town, then I won't say no more! In addition, Pei Pei pinched the phone and smiled: "You can help me convey my thoughts to the town elder Bieber, since you want to build it, then build a tall and big one!" All raw materials should also be used with the best! I'll tell you how much it will cost to figure out a budget and I'll take care of the rest of the money outside of the townspeople's fundraising! β
As soon as Joey heard the boss's statement, he immediately replied excitedly: "Okay, no problem!" β
Immediately afterwards, he followed up with another sentence: "BOSS, since you are the leader, I suggest that Old Bieber simply build the template of the statue into an image of you riding on the back of the 'Triple Crown' and galloping, what do you think?" β
Joey's suggestion tickled the itch in Peipei's heart.
In the cognitive thinking of the former county lord's mother, the honor similar to the construction of a commemorative statue is generally combined with the terms "immortal", "eternal" and "great", which is a special honor that can only be enjoyed by emperors and generals.
To be able to build a commemorative statue of your own image on a public site on the American continent on the other side of the Pacific Ocean is simply too satisfying to the little vanity in the heart of the former county lord!
Pei Pei's excitement and excitement at this moment have reached the point of forgetting the occasion she is in now.
I saw that she unconsciously patted a glass cabinet in front of her: "Your suggestion is simply amazing!" So decided! β
Pei Pei completely forgot how strong her hand was at this moment, and under her excited slap, the glass cabinet immediately cracked a trace of silk mesh fragments, and at this time, as long as someone hit it hard, this layer of glass cabinet would immediately shatter into slag!
But Pei Pei didn't notice it, still holding the phone and excitedly discussing the topic of the statue's design template with Joey (to be continued......
