Chapter 573: The Children's Press Conference
Attending the pre-match press conference is a definite necessity, and Weida is no stranger to it; As a horse owner, Wei Da actually participated in a lot of press conferences before the start of various competitions. And this time, the pre-race press conference of the Breeders Cup attracted more attention, no doubt because the king of the generation Chiji is about to retire.
Weida thinks Angela is really good, and she will choose the matching clothes for Weida; It's a big occasion, and at the very least, you need to dress modestly. Of course, considering that the children who like to be lively, the dress of these little ones is also very important, and these are actually Angela's big strokes.
The officials of the Horse Racing Association take this matter very seriously, and Chiji's retirement is a good thing for these people, and it may also be a very bad thing. But now, the most important thing is to hold a press conference for the final race of the champion horse that has attracted too much attention, and even for this reason they have given a lot of accommodation.
"Dad, I'm the cutest today, and my brother and sister are also cute." Xiaoli was very proud, he and his younger brother didn't listen to their mother, they didn't wear a small suit, it wasn't cute; So both of the kids are wearing cute little clothes with cartoon patterns, which is the cutest.
"My brothers are all little fools, and they are big fools like my father!" Xiaoyou is very proud, and he also hates iron and steel; She disagrees with the aesthetics of her two brothers, but she still trusts her mother's advice more. So seeing that the brothers were showing off, the little girl began to take charge of arguing with the brothers because they didn't choose the clothes provided by their mother.
Watching the children make a fuss. Weida and Angela are naturally responsible for becoming firefighters; In fact, it is enough to attend a press conference a little more formally, and maybe very casual attire is fine. As long as it's not particularly cheap or untidy, it basically doesn't matter, and to be honest, the owner doesn't necessarily have to be very attractive. After all, they are not sports stars, and even some riders are more famous than the owners, at least the riders are sports stars.
Xiao Yo in a little princess dress is lying in his father's arms, and the two boys are lying in his mother's arms, and the little ones know that they are going out to play games, which must be fun. After arriving at Churchill's Horse Park, Weida took the children to the stables. I have also been to the racecourse, and the children love it very much, as long as it is a fun place.
"It looks like Chiji is going to retire. This thing is really so attractive, I don't know how many more media than the previous press conferences. Looking at the black press, Wei Da turned his head and whispered to Angela; Although the horse racing is indeed a big spectacle, it can be guaranteed that the scale of this press conference is much larger than any previous press conference.
"That's true. The news that Chiji is going to retire is really shocking. I can understand that. But I think you can handle it, and I know you're used to it and talking in front of the media. Angela glanced proudly at Wei Da, who was holding the child, and she knew that Wei Da was actually quite familiar with these big scenes.
Wei Da is indeed no stranger to these now, and the simplest reason is that Wei Da has participated in many pre-race press conferences, and Chi Ji has participated in many major competitions, as the owner of this horse that has always been the favorite to win the championship. Wei Da actually received a lot of attention, at least at the press conference, Wei Da will be the protagonist.
And certainly not just in the pre-match press conference. In fact, in other places, Weida will more or less participate in some press conferences and the like. For example, once some more valuable research appears, even if Weida will be very low-key, those research institutes and universities will definitely announce it to the public, which is an important moment to prove their value, academic value and academic status.
So obviously, Wei Da is definitely quite familiar with this place, and he can be said to have no constraints in front of the media cameras, and even this guy knows how to deal with this.
For example, the press conference of the new cattle breed, the Asian carp management research conference, etc., these seem to be relatively high-level. At the end of the day, this seems to be a matter of academia, and many people have an innate admiration for those scientists who have knowledge. No matter where they are, most people have more affection for these knowledgeable people and so on.
As for the relatively low threshold, it is these pre-game press conferences; Because you don't know what to encounter here, for example, a lot of media reporters may do everything for the news, they will ask a lot of questions that make people feel very speechless, these are very normal things, Wei Da is also very familiar with here.
There are press officers, there are officials of the Horse Racing Association, and so on; Of course, the current protagonists are undoubtedly the Wei Da family sitting behind the news station. Chiji chose to retire at the peak moment, in fact, everyone understands that this is the decision of Chiji's owner; Obviously, Chiji is not very smart now, at least compared to humans, it does not have the right to make its own decisions many times, and these are all decisions that need to be made by Chiji's horse owners.
Wei Da is too lazy to pay attention to those reporters now, maybe there are a lot of unkind people here; Wei Da actually needs to care more about his baby children now, for example, the little ones are very curious about this scene.
The little ones had never seen such a big scene, although from time to time in Abiline's house some people would run to the door to take pictures and the like; But it was clear that at the press conference it was a long gun and a short gun, which the little guys had never seen before. It's just that these little guys are very powerful, at least they won't be scared now, and they are even in high spirits.
Wei Da signaled to the press officer to start the press conference, don't look at him still teasing the child, but it's still okay to do two things. The most important thing is that Weida does not need to speak now, and there are many things that can be done by a press officer; For example, a simple press release, some reasons why Chiji chose to retire and so on. For the time being, it's a matter for the press officer. As long as it's not in the free questioning stage, then there's nothing about Weida.
It was a very face-saving press conference, although I had participated in some horse racing press conferences before. But more often than not, some of the favourites get together, and maybe a war of words will break out. Of course, gradually Wei Da did not need to participate in the war of words, Chiji's absolute dominance made it so that other horse owners would not bring shame on themselves, and it would be a shame to advertise that he wanted to defeat Chiji only to lose his face.
This is a special press conference for Chiji, and maybe it is the press conference for Chiji's last game; Of course, the media reporters were very enthusiastic, although it seems that the press release did mention some reasons for Chiji's retirement. But these journalists are not convinced. They think there may be other reasons; Now, they are waiting for the opportunity, waiting for the time when they can ask questions freely. The owner of the horse who is teasing the child is actually the protagonist.
"Mr. Wei, we all know that Chiji is only seven years old now, which is just getting into the best condition for a racehorse, but Chiji chose to retire at this time. What exactly is the reason? "It looks like this reporter can't wait. His first impatient speech, very unceremonious, also seemed to represent a lot of journalists and horse fans.
"It's in the press release that Chiji wants to retire. If this kind of pointless question is still the same, I think there may be no need to continue. So, the next question. In fact, Wei Da is very disgusted with these self-righteous reporters, there are some reporters who want to sensationalize everywhere, they have no wind and no waves, they are afraid that the world will not be chaotic.
Ate a soft nail. It's really uncomfortable for those journalists; But now there is no way, Chiji's horse owner is the protagonist. Although the journalist is the uncrowned king. It seems that an interview pen in his hand can say that white is black; But these reporters are actually sometimes very unqualified, they need to see other people's faces.
"Mr. Wei, we know in advance that Chiji's wife and children seem to have arrived at the arena, and they are now in the stable. Does Chi Ji choose to retire at the peak of his prime, does this mean that he will accompany his relatives more in the future, or that Chi Ji's next task is to become a breeding stallion? In fact, this reporter's question is more interesting, it seems that Chiji is described very smartly, but in fact, the most important thing is where Chiji will go after retiring.
"Look at Chiji's mood, it can do whatever it wants. However, it is not news that Chiji's breeding results are not very good. So some horse owners don't need to worry, it's rare to see a brilliant guy like Chiji, and I think you'll all admit that Chiji is the best. "Wei Da is proud, Chiji is not so easy to cultivate.
"Dad, the White Rabbit is more powerful than Chiji! The Dark Pony Prince is also very powerful, they are all very powerful. "Reporters are still busy taking notes, and they need to sort out the next questions; But Xiao Li, who was sitting in Wei Da's arms, was unhappy, Chiji was very powerful, but the White Rabbit was even more powerful.
Wei Da smiled and touched the little guy's chubby face, the baby son said well; The White Rabbit and the Prince of Dark Horses are both very powerful, and it seems that Chiji's best performance is actually just his results on the track. If this is according to different standards, Chiji is really not necessarily invincible; The baby son is right, it seems that Weida is still too arrogant.
"White Rabbit? Is that the reason why Chiji missed the Triple Crown two years ago? "It's all mixed in the horse racing world, and now these reporters are also reacting, Chi Ji missed the Triple Crown two years ago, the reason is to accompany his wife to give birth; It was not a lot of news at the time, and although it seems to be a bit bigger now, it seems to be able to be connected. "How did the White Rabbit do on the track? Can the White Rabbit surpass its father as a new generation of champion horses? ”
Wei Da cleared his throat and was ready to explain, but this time it was not good; The fat son stretched out his chubby hand and wanted to aim the microphone at himself, Chiji is his father's, but the white rabbit is Xiaoli's best partner. So now I don't need my father, Xiao Li came to talk to this beautiful aunt about the White Rabbit.
"The White Rabbit is the most powerful, even more powerful than Dad's Chiji." The little one began to shout with his hands dancing, and as for Weida; He doesn't care about the reactions of these reporters, as long as his baby son is happy. And the baby son is not completely foolish, this is very cooperative with the reporters' interviews.
Wei Da and Angela looked at each other and smiled, now it's not just Xiao Li, Xiao Xin and Xiao You have also begun to answer reporters' questions with their brothers. The three little press spokesmen did a good job, although they often seemed to understand what the reporters were saying, and they answered more questions that seemed to be answered; But one thing is for sure, these journalists have actually gained some bit, and they should be able to get some good information.
"Chiji doesn't want to go to the competition anymore, he wants to play games with the White Rabbit and the dancers, just like Mom and Dad took me to play games with my younger siblings." Xiao Li once again emphasized that the reason why Chiji wants to retire is that he doesn't want to compete, that's all.
The reporters were in an uproar this time, and they were unscrupulous, and such a young child really didn't necessarily know how to help lie together or something. Originally, they still didn't care about the press releases, thinking that they were just excuses; Maybe Chi Ji has a physical problem and is not suitable to appear on the field now, so he suddenly announced that he was retiring, and announced his retirement without warning.
But now it doesn't seem to be what they imagined at all, the reason for Chiji's retirement is just because it wants to retire, it wants to spend time with his wife and children, that's it, a reason that makes people feel crazy and feels incredible, and of course this is also a reason that seems to be untenable.
How can a horse have so much power to choose its own life?
You must know that the current Chiji can bring tens of millions of dollars in income every year, and the unimaginable loss in order to let a horse live the life he likes in vain seems really crazy. So looking at Wei, who was smiling and handing the microphone to the children, these reporters suddenly felt that they didn't know what to say.
"Dad said that Chiji is the most powerful, and Dad likes Chiji the most. We all love Chiji, it's the fastest with Dad! Xiaoxin suddenly spoke, and the little guy grabbed the microphone and began to grab the topic of his brother, it can't just be that his brother is talking alone, Xiaoxin also has to speak!
