"Hi Spark, your watch is great, and I would like to welcome you to the Stone Ranch family. I believe that in the near future, we will be extremely proud to have such a great jockey as you. Shi Lei stepped forward and said to Spark, who was cultivating a relationship with horse racing.

"Okay, thank you Stone for accepting me. I think we'll all be proud of these two horses soon. Their cousins are simply fantastic, and their talent is simply unmatched. I've heard that they're all picked by you, and I have to say that you have an awesome eye.

But since you're going to hire me, I'm going to have some things to say first. These horses do have what it takes to win a championship and I'm very confident about that.

But I think you also know what happened to Elton and me, so I ask you not to interfere with our handling of these horses, and not to force us to play when their situation is not suitable.

If you can grant me this reluctant invitation, I am happy to be a part of Stone Ranch. In fact, I don't want to be separated from these horses anymore. Their table xiàn conquered me. Sparky said as he petted a few of the horses affectionately, and his affection for them was palpable.

"Of course, I've always believed in professional things for professionals to do this, and if you ask Elton, I've never commanded indiscriminately. Besides, I'm a bachelor of veterinary medicine myself, but I don't have a veterinary certificate.

At the same time, I am also a very animal lover, I will not ruin their future for temporary gain, I am not as stupid as the horse owner, only care about the small profit in front of me.

I solemnly assure you that I will listen to you and Elton about these horses. My goal is to win the Triple Crown. I'm sure neither you nor they will let me down. I will be proud of you. After Shi Lei finished speaking seriously, he patted Spark's shoulder, indicating that the horses would be entrusted to them.

Solving a jockey's problem is just the beginning, and Sparky is only good at driving thoroughbreds, and is not familiar with the driving and quarter-mile races of Quarter Horse. At the very least, you need to find a jockey who is proficient in handling the quart horse.

Of course, that is not particularly anxious, because to be honest, the prize money of the Quarter horse is not as high as that of the thoroughbred, and the value of the horse race is not as big as that of the thoroughbred, so it takes a year to push out the two thoroughbreds, and Shi Lei can make a lot of money.

Thinking about having two racing horses worth more than 100 million under his hands, and they can also breed foals that are directly born to thousands of dollars, that's all small money, isn't it a little exciting?

Shi Lei just laughed all the way back to the ranch, fortunately no one else saw it, or he should have thought that Shi Lei was crazy. Or maybe the laughing nerve spasms. That's why I laughed so upside down.

Satisfied, I returned to the ranch to relax with my family, and by the way, I took my brother-in-law's family to Los Angeles for another big purchase, and then sent their family on the plane back to China. Mom and Dad also went back to running their private restaurant.

An Yumeng and the other clerks have all returned, and of course they all agree with a good boss like their parents.

Shi Lei just took this opportunity to go to the Rock Fitness Center again. The usual ones were counted down by Master Kane, and then it was a practical battle with the master and the two juniors of Alan and Tony.

With simple fighting skills, Shi Lei can already complete the two junior brothers Tony and Allen, that is, Master Kane can still suppress Shi Lei steadily, but with Shi Lei's current progress speed. This advantage will not be maintained for long.

Allen's training is as hard and serious as ever, and the master has always loved Allen, and now his striking fighting skills are no worse than Tony's. It's just that the two are not a heavyweight, so Allen and Tony still don't have an advantage when they fight. But Master Kane still often asked the two of them to practice sparring.

Although Allen's future opponents are all similar heavyweights in the ring, it doesn't mean that the opponent's strength is on the same level as him, so he has to adapt to fighting a powerful opponent like Tony.

The master has now taught him the use of the elbows and shoulders in the Eight Extremes, as well as the leg skills in the Tan Legs. and knee usage in Muay Thai. In terms of striking martial arts, the master feels that Allen is qualified, and all that remains is to focus on Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu skills for a while.

Many of the opponents in UFC are known for their jiu-jitsu and ground skills, even if they don't become masters in these areas. At least you have to have a backhand to face a master.

And the other future signboard characters created by the rock center, the Fresh Shrimp Brothers, are also a hard-working master. The coach who has been training him often also acts as his sparring partner, and he says that the shrimp will be on the field soon.

Now it's time to prepare a targeted coaching staff to improve him in all aspects, from physical fitness and nutrition to his routine, in short, all aspects must be taken into account.

Of course, the attack and defense of boxing itself are more important, and even in the later stage, he has to consider inviting some boxers with different boxing paths to be his sparring partners. For these requirements, Shi Lei agreed without hesitation.

The harvest is about to be seen, and of course the chain cannot be dropped at this time. The better they are raised, the better it is for themselves and for the Rock Center.

Just look at the recent battle of the century between Wither and Quee, and the appearance fee paid to Wither alone is as high as 180 million US dollars. has caught up with a large part of Shi Lei's worth, and one game is enough to earn a year's income for three of the world's top football players. On average, every second of appearance is worth 88,000 US dollars, which is simply unbearable.

It can be seen that if the boxer is worth a lot, the income is absolutely unbelievable, and if a guy like Wither is an iconic figure who has gone out of the Rock Center, you can imagine what kind of popularity the Rock Center will reach.

And as we all know, boxing has the most influence of all martial arts in the entire Western world, and this unparalleled mass base determines that the commercial value of this sport is far higher than that of combat sports such as the UFC.

So relatively speaking, the value of fresh shrimp in the future will definitely exceed Allen's, if Yiqiē can rise to fame and family according to the previous plan. Even if it can't reach the height of Wither, it will definitely be much more commercially valuable than even a mixed martial arts master like the strongest man in the six billion.

Another friend I met at the Rock Center, Liao Chengjun who has joined the Lakers. also ended his rookie season, completing the first round of the playoffs under Kirby's leadership as usual.

Although Kirby still has the highest salary in the league, he is becoming more and more like a spiritual leader, and it is unrealistic to expect him to run around the court like a star in his prime like Crab Roe, and often stage the scene of riding the savior alone.

After all, age is there, even with the help of Shi Lei, the shackles of many injuries and dark diseases have been removed, but the decline of the body and other aspects is still inevitable.

In the first year of joining the team as a free agent, the young Liao Chengjun showed his strength, and the firepower on the offensive end was stronger than that of Kebi when he first debuted.

It's rare to have a timely fighting force. And he also has his own attitude and skills in defense. What's even better is that he still has a body that is not weaker than that of the young Kebi, and in this case, he naturally becomes the future star of the team.

Especially after exchanging his contract to a top rookie contract, the team's uniform team is optimistic about his future and intends to praise him, and at the same time pay more attention to the huge Chinese market behind him. And there is also a big guy like Kirby in the team, and the road ahead has become a smooth road, and all that is left is to see his hard work.

Of course, add a little luck, at least not like the once glorious Yellow Mamba. The meniscus in both knees magically disappeared one after the other. If he doesn't suffer such a ruining injury, Liao Chengjun's future is very worth looking forward to.

And with the help of Shi Lei behind him, he will definitely not be troubled by serious injuries. The only thing that needs to be considered is Liao Chengjun's own hard work.

And Liao Chengjun, who can abolish himself and practice, has never lacked hard work, when Shi Lei saw Liao Chengjun. This guy who has been in the starting position for less than a season, is still practicing on his own in the arena in the center of the rocks. It wasn't like a lot of other players who packed their bags and set off to enjoy the holidays.

It is thanks to Kebi and Liao Chengjun that they often come to the rock center to exercise. Today's Rock Center has been growing unabated. Shi Lei is very happy to see this development momentum, if this is as he imagined, there will be two leaders in martial arts. It is estimated that the development situation will make all shareholders happy.

After seeing the situation here, Shi Lei returned to the ranch. Since Laura's return, she has been busy processing the few orders she had accumulated earlier. A few of them came for the few leather jackets that were released in New York before, and after basically measuring their size, Pedro, a top leathermian, could do it, without having to design new styles.

There are only two orders for exclusive custom clothing that needs to be designed by Laura. This kind of cost is relatively high, even the big stars are not always available, only when attending heavy dà events will be considered, and even most of the time will choose more mature works that have been tested.

The exclusive design may be brilliant or ugly, but it is not as safe as the finished product, especially if you choose those limited editions, you don't have to worry about hitting the shirt.

A few days after sending off all the relatives, I received another call from Hanks and Lincoln, to the same effect, that the breed of beef cattle in Stone Ranch had been established as a protected breed and that export restrictions had been requested.

It looks like a restriction that affects the development of beef cattle. But on the flip side, this is an official acknowledgment, and overall it is certainly something that the benefits outweigh the disadvantages.

In the future, Stone Ranch is no longer just a brand, but also a unique variety. This is of great positive significance for enhancing the competitiveness of the ingredients produced in Stone Farm.

For this matter, Shi Lei happily had a drink with Laura to celebrate, and by the way, he also fished two Dungeness crabs (called Dungeness crabs in China) to treat himself.

Then Shi Lei and Laura packed their luggage and prepared to set off again. (To be continued......) R1292
