Chapter 290: Taking Stock of the Harvest
After all the competitions were over, it was naturally Laura who went up to accept the award on behalf of the entire Martian racecourse. In addition to Shi Lei's two horses successfully defending their titles and breaking new records, the Chief's horse managed by the racecourse, the two-year-old foal, also won the sprint race, and the results were not bad, close to the fastest record in history.
This made the chieftain in the Middle East very happy, and made a special phone call across the ocean to thank Shi Lei. After all, it is also a long-cherished wish for the chief to win the sprint race, he has not been able to take a trophy from the Breeder's Cup before, this just sent the pony to the Martian racecourse, and it can be obtained, it seems that Shi Lei is indeed very good.
And this horse's watch also proves that the chief's vision is very good, since he can win the sprint race now, then he has a better chance of being able to have a good watch in the long distance race. Even if you can't reach the Cheng dù of Shi Lei's two racing horses, it's hard to say that you can't compete for the first place in other races.
Of course, the chief also congratulated Shi Lei, who has been following the game closely. Although I couldn't be there because of business, I still watched the whole game live through guò. Shi Lei's two racehorses set new records, and he knew about it for the first time.
He was also very happy about this, after all, among the offspring of the two racing horses, there would definitely be one for him and one for Princess Haya. In this case, of course, he hopes that the two horses will have a better appearance, which means that their offspring will be even better.
Although it is also said that the two foals may be very expensive, but the money is really just a bunch of numbers for these Middle Eastern tycoons. In a country where water is many times more expensive than oil, the meaning of money saving is to make all kinds of things.
Laura will once again be interviewed by Time magazine and other influential media. Since claiming the second hurdle win in the Treble, Laura and the two horses have been the media darlings of the limelight.
After they won the Triple Crown, their every move became the focus of media attention. It became the cover of Time magazine or something, and the people of Midi said that it was not surprising, it was the first one in nearly 40 years.
And the two racing horses are not the first to enjoy this treatment, Shi Lei went to revisit the movie "A Generation of Proud Horses" only to find that the legendary horse "Secretariat" has already enjoyed this treatment.
It's just that Shi Lei didn't pay attention to this at all when he watched this movie before, because at that time he had no concept of the influence of Time magazine at all. I just think it's a well-known medium, otherwise I wouldn't be able to express this plot in the movie.
And now the two racing horses under Shi Lei have received no worse attention than the secretariat of the year. The performance of the two horses in the field this time is the focus of attention of the whole rice emperor. Everyone wondered if their watch xiàn could still be so magical, or if the previous watch xiàn at the end of the race was just a flash in the pan.
This time, after they each set a new record, the whole emperor can be said to be jubilant, and the two horses proved their strength, and also understood that they had indeed been hiding their strength before.
In this case, people are again looking forward to the two horses in the new round of the Triple Crown series. It's not just that they will be able to defend their treble titles, but more importantly, everyone is expecting them to break their own records. As things stand, they can only be counted on to break such records on their own.
In the post-race interview, Laura not only expressed her gratitude to the people of Midi for their support of the two racehorses, but also talked about her work launch and the establishment of her personal brand.
Because the reporters present know that Laura is now also the new favorite of the fashion industry, and there is not much to say if you just ask about horse racing.
In the face of a big beauty like Laura, asking anything can be regarded as news, and the arrangement of Laura's press conference can become a more important news.
Of course, for Laura, this is also a good channel for publicity. At a time when other designers can only share the limited layout with their peers to let people know that their work is about to be released, Laura can already use a lot of media with a wider base of people to let people know about the dynamics of her work.
Of course, in fashion magazines, there must be a role for Laura, and in this case, Laura is much ahead of her peers.
After the game was completely over, Shi Lei took a group of friends who came to cheer and cheered, and all ran to the private restaurant to celebrate his victory.
Fortunately, there are not many friends who came, and the largest table can still accommodate everyone. After enjoying my mother's good craft, everyone went back to their own business.
It's Thanksgiving just around the corner, and everyone has a lot to do. Shi Lei also has to do a good job of inventory and come up with a charter for how to pay bonuses to the workers under him.
For this reason, he must first have a clear understanding of all his industrial income this year. So he called Grims and Liu Jie, the two big butlers, early.
For Shi Lei, from last year's inventory to this Thanksgiving before the inventory, it can be regarded as a fiscal year, and they use the income and expenditure of a fiscal year as the benchmark when they carry out accounting.
Shi Lei's biggest income in this year was brought by horse racing. Just the prize money of the series of events in which the two horses participated, more than 20 million US dollars fell into Shi Lei's pocket.
Of course, Elton, who is a breeder, also earns a lot of money with the two jockeys, even if each person only gets 5 percent bonus from each horse, which is a lot of income.
The most lucrative one was Elton, who alone shared the prize money of more than one million dollars. This is only the income he got from Shi Lei, and other things like endorsements are counted separately.
The situation of the two jockeys is similar, and now they have a pivotal position in the horse racing world, and all kinds of extra money are also not less. For example, the advertisement on the vest, the price of the advertising space is not cheap.
So on Thanksgiving, Shi Lei only needs to give them a gift to express his heart. This extra bonus is not needed, and they get a lot more benefits than that bonus.
And since the Mars Racecourse has just started to open, it stands to reason that Shi Lei does not need to give bonuses to the staff of the racecourse. Although after Shi Lei took over the racecourse, it has actually begun to make a profit.
However, the problem of prize money was well solved, because the wealthy chief was very happy after winning the sprint race of the Breeder's Cup last time, and simply distributed all the prize money to the staff of the racecourse.
Now the people in the racecourse are all wiped out, and everyone has a bonus of tens of thousands of dollars. Of course, Shi Lei would not steal this bonus, he couldn't afford to lose that person, but he just redistributed the bonus according to the contribution of the horse farm workers.
Otherwise, everyone likes to be friends with local tyrants. This prize money is completely dispensable for His Excellency the Chief, and he values the honor behind it more than anything else. But for the workers, this is a big reward, and they can have a happy Thanksgiving again.
For Shi Lei, the biggest benefit of horse racing is not the bonus, not to mention this series of events, for the increase in the value of the two horses, only to say that the benefits can be seen and touched, Shi Lei Tong guò bet on the horse to get the gambling money, but it really doubled his value.
And Shi Lei's biggest headache now is also this part of the income, although the money in Shi Lei's hands has been deducted from gambling tax, but there is still a big head of personal income tax waiting for Shi Lei.
If this money is not handled well, even with Shi Lei's other income, he will have to pay the maximum amount of taxes and fees. Just this tax can shrink Shi Lei's worth, which has just become fruitful, by a small half.
This will make Shi Lei feel distressed to death, so Shi Lei's most important purpose is to urge Liu Jie and them to deal with this problem.
And all the industries invested in Shi Lei's hands, the best income must belong to the ranch itself. Head Ranch is now not only a well-known brand in the restaurant industry, but also a variety name representing the best ingredients.
And it has also brought a lot of benefits to Shi Lei, after all, with the storage of several sub-pastures, the output of various ingredients has increased several times. As long as the ingredients are hung with the Stone Ranch brand, there is never a saying that they cannot be sold.
They have always been the most sought-after goods on the market, and it is nothing more than a question of whether more of them have flowed into the major high-end restaurants or into the high-end market.
As more and more high-end users come into contact with various ingredients in Stone Ranch, the demand for them is becoming more and more intense, so the breeding scale of various animals is still in the process of gradually expanding.
Of course, Shi Lei likes to hear about this, because it means that there are more tickets that will run into his pocket.
For example, this year, the number of large livestock slaughtered exceeded 10,000, which was more than the total number of livestock in the entire stone pasture before. And these livestock have brought Shi Lei an income of more than 100 million US dollars, and the average is 10,000 US dollars per large livestock.
Of course, Shi Lei is talking about pure profits, or pure profits on paper, in fact, Shi Lei's income is much more than these.
Because the main force of ranch income is still beef cattle, and these beef cattle are also the highest yield for Shi Lei, and the net profit is often several times the investment. Of course, this is certainly not the case on paper, so it seems that each livestock can only bring Shi Lei 10,000 US dollars.
The income of milk is calculated separately, mainly with the company that cooperates with Alexander, and the income from this part should be a lot.
Because milk is sustainably produced, the yield at Milk River Ranch is not low. Each cow produces more milk than its peers, and they sell for a much higher price than any other cow in its class.
The main thing is that most of it is made into cheese, and the added value is much higher than that of similar products. It's just that this part has always followed the trading company's side to go through the accounts, so the settlement is not very synchronized with other industries under Shi Lei's hands.
And Shi Lei's harvest is not limited to this. R1152
