Chapter 164: The Arrival of the Breeder's Cup
Wei Da has been happy for the past two days, because once the new breed is confirmed, it will really be a huge opportunity for him. Wei Hui and Huang Yue also smiled, although they didn't understand the importance of the new breed of cattle, but they knew that this could make their son earn more money, which was the most intuitive feeling.
And Angela is of course very happy, she has lived on the ranch since she was a child, and she certainly understands the meaning of the new breed of cattle. Seeing that Wei Da has been communicating with some people in the past two days, watching Wei Da and his personal lawyer Thomas carefully studying some terms and the like, and watching Wei Da and the representatives of Kansas State University continue to negotiate, she is still very happy, because now the ranch is her home.
Riding the prince of the dark horse around the cowshed, the two guys of Hercules and Pingtian Dasheng continued to mix in the adult herd; The adult bulls were basically destined to go to the slaughterhouse, and the stronger ones basically stayed with the Hercules King and the Pingtian Great Sage. Looking at a few half-sized calves, Wei Dale hehe; Now he's waiting for the arrival of fellows from the Department of Agriculture, and he's also waiting for some negotiations with Kansas State University.
In fact, Weida now occupies the initiative, the United States is very developed in agriculture and animal husbandry, once the new breed of cattle is determined, then I believe that those American politicians will be more concerned than him. As for Kansas State University, although the current Weida has some cooperation with them; But this does not mean that Weida will give up his interests, but also because once the new breed is confirmed, then other universities will definitely rush to study it.
Waiting for the price to sell, Weida is now in this state; He was waiting for confirmation of a new breed of cattle, and he was waiting for the maximum benefit he could get. These are all things that Weida cares about very much. Now he does seem to have enough to rely on, because the good things are his family. It's really hard to take something good out of Weida's hands.
Of course, it makes people happy when they encounter good things. Now Wei Da's family is very happy and looking forward to it; However, this matter cannot be done immediately, so what is needed now is patience. Good things are in their own hands, and of course Weida doesn't need to be in a hurry; The new breed of cattle can be said to be quite gimmicky, and he is a strange commodity.
As for the engagement banquet, in fact, Weida and Angela were also slightly prepared; Although it is true that this will be a small-scale engagement ceremony, the two really don't plan to make a big deal about it. But this doesn't mean that you can just fool around casually, and the two of you will definitely have some small arrangements; It was a life-long event, and Weida and Angela believe it was their only engagement. Therefore, it is natural to be more cautious.
Weida and Angela are now preparing for some new journeys, as the Breeders' Cup is about to begin, and it can be said that it is a top-level race with a level of impact on a Treble. Although the current Chiji still can't participate in the most important classic races, the two-year-old horse race is also very important; The Classic has the highest prize money of $5 million, followed by the two-year-old's prize of $2 million. It's a first-class competition, so of course you need to be careful.
Mom and Dad are not very enthusiastic about this matter, and in their opinion, they are actually more concerned about the prize money of the competition; Their enthusiasm for horse racing is not very high, anyway, they can just watch the live broadcast of the race at home, and there is no need to go over and join in the fun. Although the other day was a little bit of play in Missouri for two days. But they decided to rest on the ranch anyway and not go to Louisville.
As for Weida and Angela's family, they are still very enthusiastic about this matter, Angela and their family are very enthusiastic about horse racing, and the temptation to watch the top races on the spot is really irresistible for them. Plus this is a game with Chiji. Of course, you need to cheer on the spot; For them, Churchill Manor is really a top-notch arena and a must-see.
Churchill. Downs Racecourse has been open since 1875. It has been the host of the top race, the Kentucky Horse Race. The huge spectator stand, with its iconic spire, can accommodate about 50,000 people at a time, plus the number of spectators standing in the unseated area. In total, it can hold more than 160,000. It is famous for its racetracks, clubhouse, stables and memorial halls, which are popular for horse racing enthusiasts. This is undoubtedly a temple!
"There are so many people here, it seems that I still underestimate the charm of horse racing." Although he knew that the influence of horse racing was huge in the United States, Weida still seemed to underestimate the temptation of horse racing, especially such a top-level event; Looking at the tourists coming and going, looking at the top hats of all colors, Wei Da felt that he was now among the domestic vegetable markets, and the crowds were crowded.
"Ditch your NBA, horse racing, football, even baseball will be more appealing. Boy, as long as Chiji wins the game, I'm sure there's going to be a party in town. In fact, you may already know that after knowing that Chiji entered the Breeder's Cup, many people in the town have expressed enough enthusiasm that they may already be waiting for Chiji's victory. "Like Weida, old Fox is very ostentatious; His son-in-law's Chiji entered the Breeder's Cup, so Old Fox now runs more often in town, which makes many people know more quickly that Abilene also has a horse in the Breeder's Cup!
Wei Da is also proud when he thinks about it, of course Chi Ji needs to show off when he enters the top competition; Generally speaking, less than 10 horses can enter such races, and although they are divided into various classes, they are all the top horses without exception. The fact that Chiji was able to compete in two-year-olds proves that he is one of the best two-year-olds.
The people of the Abilene area were indeed very excited, and they were also very happy with the display of Weida and Old Fox; It's a town of 100,000 people, and there aren't a lot of people living in the town. Weida and Old Fox still know a lot of people, plus a race like the Breeders' Cup will definitely have a lot of information announced before the race; There is no doubt that when they see the news that Chiji is from Abiline, this is the pride of the people of Abilene.
Locality is very important, and there are such things everywhere; As for Abilene Horse Racing. It's a shame that there are some horses in Texas that make it to the top races, but their horses have a mediocre track record in such races. As for Abiline, it is even more tragic. This town can basically be said to have had a top-class horse racing for the first time.
Wei Da was very proud, he felt that Chiji could actually go for the championship. Become Abiline's first champion horse in a top class; In fact, during this time, there are also some people who want to see Chiji, because Chiji has gained some fame during this time, not only because he entered the Breeder's Cup, but also because he performed very well in the qualifying tournament of the Breeder's Cup before.
Maybe in other places, Chiji is basically not famous, but in Texas, especially in Fort Worth, in the Abilene area, it can be said that Chiji is the child here, and it certainly has a lot of support here. Ranch aside. The cowboys must have stayed in front of the TV to watch the live broadcast, and they also believed in Chiji's strength, and they even prepared champagne in advance.
Wang Ye still has some things on hand, so he can't come to the scene, but he will definitely cheer for Chiji's game; His girlfriend Emma is the same, and she has even heard that the cashiers in the supermarket are being mobilized to organize a cheerleading party to return to Abilene after Chiji's victory, and it is said that there are still quite a few young girls who are keen on it. Maybe they don't necessarily believe in Chiji's strength, but for them this is a time for a party, which can be fun together.
Weida can be said to be more and more aware of the difficulty of horse racing. It is also to know the difficulty of the Breeder's Cup and the Triple Crown; Although the current Chiji has run into the top competition, although Wei Da has absolute confidence in Chiji, he will not simply think that the current Chiji is invincible. The current Chiji still needs to continue to work hard, and it also needs to make continuous progress. In this way, we can ensure that we can achieve better and better results.
The hotel was booked in advance, and this time Weida did not need to be polite; Old Fox and Marina share a room, and Weida and Angela naturally live together. Wei Da is still very confident. Don't look at Old Fox is a little upset, but Angela often stays at Weida's side. Plus the proposal was successful, so some things came naturally.
The Breeder's Cup can be said to be the annual horse racing event. This is not weaker than the heavyweight of the Triple Crown, so at this time, a large number of fans have come to Louisville, and they now want to see if there is a miracle here, and they also hope to witness the birth of a new king in the most exciting two minutes.
The business in the hotel is also very good, although Wei Da booked a five-star hotel, but there is really no shortage of rich people here, it is obvious that some rich people will also come to join in the fun, for them although the price of the five-star hotel is relatively expensive, but since it is out to travel and relax, then it is really not stingy.
Wei Da knows a lot of cultural and sports stars, that is, those well-known Hollywood movie stars or singers, including some sports stars, will appear here; Because this breeder's cup is very famous, because they are interested in horse racing, they can also increase their exposure a little. Even some politicians will appear here, because they can prove that they are still close to ordinary people here, and they can get some support better.
In fact, Wei Da really doesn't care so much, for him, what kind of stylistic stars and the like are really not necessarily attractive, because it is very simple, he is not a star chaser, maybe he is a little curious about those stars, and he will take a group photo when he sees a big star, but it is definitely not that he will not be fanatical. As for those politicians, Wei Da felt that it really had nothing to do with him, as long as he didn't make trouble for himself.
Now Wei Da is just bent on winning the game, and now he is more focused on the game of Chiji. So his focus is on the game, everything else is secondary.
The Breeder's Cup is a two-day race, with the two-year-olds racing on the second day; For Weida, the Breeder's Cup really doesn't have much traction, which means that Weida is only here because it's a Chiji race. Weida has never been a fan of horses, horse racing is dispensable for him, and the only attraction is the Chiji race, which is the $2 million prize money. (To be continued......)
