"My father bought Alina at a cost, do you want to know what happened?" Tang Yao asked Fu Jundao.

"Hmm!" Fu Jun nodded and smiled: "I haven't been abroad, so I've always been curious about foreign horse racing." Moreover, it is now said in China that we Chinese go abroad to buy horses, and it is becoming more and more difficult to buy good horses, so I am also very curious that Tang can always buy Alina. ”

"Okay! I'll tell you how my father bought it, but if you want to make this clear, you have to start with the fact that the state started encouraging private horse racing again. ”

Tang Yao recalled: "Since the country changed its attitude and began to vigorously support folk equestrian competitions, and with China's participation in the 84 Olympic Games, there was a purpose to cultivate reserve talents for the Olympic equestrian events, and people with vision know that equestrianism is going to develop again." ”

"It's just that modern equestrianism was completely foreign to China at that time. After all, after being closed for so many years, there are no people in our country who are completely familiar with the rules, so going out to study has become a must-do. In addition to going out to study, it has also become a very important thing to introduce excellent racing horses. ”

"At that time, for various reasons, there were no particularly good horse breeds suitable for modern equestrianism in China, so there were many rich equestrian enthusiasts who went abroad to buy excellent horse breeds, and my father was one of them at that time."

"It's a pity that at that time, there were too few enthusiasts who had the money to insist on the development of equestrian sports, and there were too few people who could buy horses abroad. Most of those who go abroad to buy horses are not trustworthy. When Tang Yao said this, his tone couldn't help but be a little angry.

"What's going on?" Fu Jun asked.

"In the beginning, it wasn't as hard to buy good horses abroad as it is now. Nations, such as the British and Dutch, who are good at doing business, have long discovered the business opportunities, and many intermediary businessmen have learned from the experience of previous horse trading with Arab countries in the Middle East, Russia, the Americas, Australia, and India, and have begun to build a bridge for the bilateral horse trade between China and Europe, so that both sides can take what they need and what they get. Tang Yao calmed down for a moment and continued.

"Moreover, foreign horse owners are not all rich, they are not like Hong Kong and still need to register and review in order to become horse owners, ordinary people as long as they buy horses that meet the rules of the event and can be approved to participate in the race, they can become horse owners, and these people, many people because of the high cost of raising horses, are also very willing to sell some powerful, but can not be compared with the head horse in their hands very chicken horse racing."

"However, the development of horse racing in various parts of the country is much higher than ours, the atmosphere is very strong, and the market has been saturated, some are family-run horses, they have their own jobs, but they regard horse racing as a side business, except for novice horse owners who urgently need horse racing, other horse owners, the demand is actually not large, so the horse owners who want to change hands on good horse racing, but because they can't find a suitable buyer, the price can not be negotiated, resulting in the failure of the transaction."

"At this time, after being closed for so many years, the Chinese who came to buy because of the urgent shortage of excellent horse breeds have perfectly increased their market. It can be said that whether it was a large-scale non-governmental organization or a private horse trade, foreigners were very enthusiastic about Chinese buyers at that time. ”

At that time, the enthusiasm of the European horse farms for the Chinese buyers was unimaginable, the phone was waiting at any time, the station personally greeted and sent off, everywhere there were bright smiles, even courteous flattery, good horses were placed in front of them, let the Chinese buyers test ride and choose. Except for horses like Alina, who have the genetic pedigree of legendary racehorses, because there are restrictions everywhere, it is almost impossible to trade, and other ordinary champion horse descendants, many ordinary horse owners, in private, are willing to resell, as long as the price is right, if you buy it in private, it is much cheaper than many foreign auction houses. ”

"Those foreign horse owners are not stupid, selling to the auction house, but have to pay more fees, if you trade directly with buyers, although the total transaction amount is less, but do not pay the handling fee, they actually get more money, and Chinese buyers of course also want to spend less, after all, no one's money is blown by the wind."

"Moreover, like the formalities encountered by many Chinese people to buy horses now, there were basically no problems at that time, because at that time, the horse owners who sold horses would take the initiative to help you do those well, as long as you return to China, pay for the horses according to the contract."

"Of course, you don't have to be afraid that they will secretly change your horse breed, or change the horse's physical information, and turn the sick horse into a good horse and sell it to you, these things will also be tested by special people in China, and they will do this for you, just to reduce the burden for you, by the way to reach friendship and trust, and lay a good foundation for future cooperation, because they know that among these buyers, there will definitely not be only this time to buy horses."

When Fu Jun heard this, he was a little curious: "Isn't this good?" Isn't it easier for us Chinese buyers to pay for it and buy it later? So why is it now so difficult for Chinese buyers to buy horses? ”

"It would be nice if those Chinese buyers were real trustworthy equestrian enthusiasts." Tang Yao replied coldly.

"What's going on?" Fu Jun asked.

"I didn't say it just now, because most of those Chinese buyers are untrustworthy people."

Tang Yao replied: "At that time, people with foresight knew that the state encouraged the development of equestrian among the people, and they saw that the future prospects of equestrianism were huge, and to develop equestrianism, excellent thoroughbred horses must be indispensable." This has also led to the fact that when Chinese athletes have not yet appeared in the international equestrian arena, some Chinese have begun to enter the core production areas of sports horses and choose BMW horses. ”

"However, when most European horse farms have not yet met their first Chinese customers, many Chinese have already made their compatriots in the European horse industry bear a heavy stigma for their evil deeds."

"Infamy?" Fu Jun was surprised: "What infamy? ”

"A lot, but the main and most infamous thing is the credit problem." Tang Yao said.

"Credit problems?"

"Hmm!"

"Can you tell me more about that?" Fu Jun asked.

"It's very simple, there were a lot of us at that time, but in fact, the assets in our hands were not enough to buy the horses they ordered, or we had the money to buy them, but we regretted that we were reluctant to buy them."

Tang Yao was a little angry and said: "This directly caused the European horse owners to arrange all the procedures, and after the horses were transported to China, those Chinese who wanted to buy horses did not take the credibility of our compatriots in their eyes at all, and directly found reasons to tear up the contract, not to buy horses, so that people's horses directly stopped in China, and could not advance or retreat." ”

"Their Chinese, who have no credit, when our other compatriots have not seen European horse owners, wantonly trample on our credit in front of others until it disappears."

"And the credit problem, in any transaction, is the most terrible problem."
