Chapter 243: Sitting on the ground and dividing the money

After the game, after dealing with reporters, there is another very important thing, that is, the prize money.

Because in this competition, the two horses provided by Shi Lei are actually the biggest contributors, and the two jockeys also know that if they find a passable jockey, they can almost guarantee the championship and second place, because the strength of the two horses is too strong. As long as the jockey isn't a complete idiot, the champion won't be left behind.

So both jockeys accepted the same distribution as Elton, each with a 5 percent bonus for each race they participated in, while Shi Lei could get 9 percent of the prize money for each race.

As the breeder of the two racehorses, Elton has no problem with this, and he also understands that it is the high quality of the two horses that has been able to achieve such brilliant results.

In this way, including the sprint race and the two Breeders' Cup classics, Shi Lei can get a total of six million US dollars in prize money, and Elton and they will continue to do so.

It's no wonder that so many owners are desperate to race, and the various prize money alone is already so tempting.

It is also necessary to consider the effect of the competition on the value of the racehorse, which may seem like an intangible value, but in fact, it is a real benefit when it comes to breeding and the auction of the offspring of the champion horse. The price of a descendant of a legendary champion horse is definitely not comparable to that of an unknown racehorse.

For example, the black horse Zhang Fei and the white horse Feiyan are relatively cheap when they are purchased, especially after they have achieved today's results, the original cost is simply the same as that of the white pickup.

And those of the same kind who compete with them, many of them are direct descendants of famous horses, so they spend hundreds of thousands of dollars when they buy them, or even millions or even millions of dollars. The gap can be seen here.

And if according to Shi Lei's assumption, after Zhang Fei and Feiyan achieve such a great reputation, they will combine the offspring they gave birth to, and it is estimated that they can be auctioned for a sky-high price.

At present, aside from the increase in the intangible value of the two horses, among the visible benefits in front of him, the prize money is only a small amount for the income obtained by Shi Leitong Guò in this horse race, and the real big head lies in the gambling money he won in several consecutive races.

Shi Lei and Laura have always stayed in the large household sitting area, and there is a special betting machine in the large household area, which can accept various amounts of bets at any time, and it is also very convenient to bet large sums of money.

Although Shi Lei was still a little worried about the table of the two horses during the sprint race, he still pressed all the 1 million US dollars he got from the department that did not store zài last time on the two horses.

At that time, the two horses had no fame at all, and the jockey and the breeder were also fresh, and their own value was still so low, and even the noble bloodline had to be chased to the top many generations ago, so at that time they were the least favored, and the odds were also the lowest, and you could earn several times more by pressing a little. In addition, Shi Lei chose to make a compound bet, and at the same time pressed the first and second places, so that game was also the most enjoyable time that Shi Lei earned.

However, Shi Lei's 1 million US dollars is also a big bet, which directly raises the odds a lot, so Shi Lei's actual money is several times less than he expected, but it still makes Shi Lei make a lot of money.

When the next two horses went to qualify, the odds were immediately raised. These bettors are not stupid, and they have to adjust the odds at any time depending on the gambling money, not to mention that they have an understanding of the table of horses.

Shi Lei didn't dare to invest too much in the two short-distance qualifiers where the two horses won the championship, otherwise it would have been a bit more than worth the loss if the odds were further raised, after all, there were still relatively few people betting on such qualifiers, and the board was too small.

When it came to the main race of the Breeders' Cup, Shi Lei could finally make a big bet, but unfortunately the odds of both horses were further raised. So in the two games, although Shi Lei divided the money into two parts and invested half of each, he earned not much more than the previous one in the two games.

Why don't you say Shi Lei put all the gambling money he earns into it at one time? The first is the fear of further increasing the odds. The second reason is that there has always been no shortage of gambling horses, and all kinds of shady money have been invested in it and want to wash it.

Shi Lei really suspected that if he invested too much and got rid of the cash that originally belonged to the group of people who sold white noodles in Lao Mo, or similar people were threatened, his personal safety would be threatened, or maybe some accidents would happen to the two horses.

This thing is the same as those international football games, as long as the interests of many groups are involved behind it, who knows how deep the water is, so it is better to try to be low-key and content.

Shi Lei was even ready for a certain part of the fight, but in the end, Shun Shun achieved the most satisfactory result he wanted, and there was a double harvest on and off the field.

Shi Lei is very suspicious that this is the reason why he used the money given by a department that does not save zài in the first place, although Shi Lei actually came with the idea that even if he really didn't win, he would lose this million dollars and go to people's comfort, and Shi Lei always felt a little hot in his hand.

And the consequences of this were immediately reflected, and the many bonus income in his hands immediately faced all kinds of high taxes, and the amount that needed to be handed over was definitely a number that made Shi Lei feel painful.

However, after the joint efforts of Grimes and Liu Jie, the amount of money that can fall into Shi Lei's hands safely is still very satisfying, and the full 150 million US dollars are in the pocket, which is definitely a large amount that Shi Lei is satisfied with.

This is all thanks to the qualifiers and the last classic game, Shi Lei chose to play a winning streak, and at the same time pressed the betting method of the champion and runner-up, so that Shi Lei's income multiplier was further improved.

Of course, these prizes certainly don't have Elton's share. They all seem to be betting for themselves, and they are probably busy stealing fun at this time. I just don't know how much principal they have invested, and whether they are regretting their caution at this time.

Overall, though, the Breeders' Cup was a great season, with a significant increase in both immediate and future gains.

The value of the two horses is also more than 10 million at this time, if it is really as Shi Lei expected to win a series of victories, Shi Lei's worth may be doubled because of these two horses.

Shi Lei himself has such a big harvest, of course, he will not be stingy with the cowboys under him, but he definitely does not give more bonuses when he is happy, and the cowboys are still given the part of the income they have worked hard to obtain, that is, the income from the various ingredients of the ranch.

The workers involved in each project can get more bonuses from the livestock they are responsible for, so the better their livestock is taken care of, the higher their income will be, so that they can be motivated.

For the bonus issue this time, Shi Lei deliberately brought Grimes and Liu Jie to summarize this year's income in advance, and the reason why he broke the previous habit of making a year-end summary before the Spring Festival was because Shi Lei had more important things to do at that time. That's exactly what happened to me this time. How much the cowboys can get depends on the summary of this time.

There is no need to count the scattered income like my mother's private restaurant, Laura's income this year is more than one million US dollars, which is pure profit, after all, the cost of her works is the bulk of raw materials and workers' wages, and more value is reflected in the connotation that her design enhances these works. So although the orders are not particularly large, the benefits are not small.

This is still not counting the cooperation between her and Ms. Diane, under the premise of the sales of the leather goods series products, that part is now collected by Ms. Diane's stores, and it needs to be unified after the settlement number is called to Laura.

In fact, the income of the private restaurant will not be lower than that of Laura. Of course, when it comes to development potential, it must be much stronger from Laura's side. After all, the private restaurant is a ticket, and that's basically what it is now. Laura's studio has endless possibilities, and it is not impossible to become an international brand like Ms. Diane's eponymous brand in the future.

In general, one of the largest increases in all industries in the past few years is the ranch itself, and the other comes from the first project that Shi Lei invested in, the smart dressing mirror company.

Needless to say, the beef that has made a name for itself continues to seize more market share this year, successfully defending the beef champion and the best ingredient at the New York Summer Specialty Food Show, which has increased their value and is also known and recognized by more high-end food users, thus expanding the group of ordinary consumers. Of course, there are also more and more high-end restaurants that choose the beef of Stone Ranch as their main specialty.

And with the promotion of another food exhibition, several other ingredients of the ranch have also been widely recognized, and they have gradually begun to seize the mainstream market. In particular, the traditional high-end ingredients such as foie gras and chicken have always had a large consumer base.

The share of dairy products produced on the farm is also gradually expanding, and the production in Ohio has been connected to the sales company that Shi Lei and Alexander co-founded.

But the demand for selling milk and making cheese is still relatively limited, especially since they have been focusing on the high-end market. So Shi Lei is already thinking about more possibilities. For example, milk powder may be a better idea.

The smart dressing mirror company successfully took out a more complete fitting software as a product for interviews, and it really achieved a very good response. There is a growing shift towards a platform that is a leader in the field.

Of course, it is still in the stage of cultivating a user base, but it has taken a big leap forward in the company's revenue, because the profit channel has also expanded in an all-round way on this basis.

There are even veterans who have proposed to prepare for listing, and maybe next year will bring a bigger surprise to Shi Lei.

In addition, the wineries that have only been investing in it are about to face a new product launch and begin to enter the harvest season.

After giving all the cowboys bonuses that made them overjoyed again, Shi Lei did not forget to wrap a big red envelope for Grimes and Liu Jie. This year's income is more, and tax avoidance is even more important, and Greens, who is in charge of management, and Liu Jie, who is in charge of accounts, are also working hard.

Looking at a lot of good news, Shi Lei plans to go to sea with Laura to enjoy a period of vacation with a happy good mood, this is the life he yearns for, there is work for others to do, and there is a holiday for himself to enjoy.

And Shi Lei plans to use this opportunity to go to sea to give Laura a big surprise. R1152
