257 Selling horses is really profitable
Sure enough, Chu Xiangqian rode the red rabbit to the south of the village, and saw that behind the wooden fence it was really a stable, not only revealing a row of stables 30 meters long and 16 meters wide, but also a running field outside the stable, only partially exposed.
And next to the stables, there is a 10-meter by 5-meter feed warehouse.
Chu Xiangqian jumped over the wooden fence and looked at the stable first, although it was not a modern stable, it was very functional.
Automatic feeding, automatic cleaning, and automatic opening of stables every day, so that the horses raised in it can run to the running field.
When the horses are tired, hungry or thirsty, they will go into the stables to eat and drink by themselves.
After Chu Xiangqian walked through the stable, he also silently counted in his heart, there were two aisles and 4 rows of stables in the entire stable.
10 in a row, equal to 40 stables.
In other words, you can have at least 40 horses.
Hurriedly ran back to the novice village, rode the red rabbit, brought the jade lion and the foal, as well as 2 sweat and blood, and 2 Arabian horses, all sent into the stable.
He also put 100 bundles of 100 catties of grass in the storage compartment into the feed warehouse.
Soon I saw that in the stable, the stable where the red rabbit and other horses were located automatically appeared grass, and the trough was already filled with water.
Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, with this function, he didn't have to worry about raising horses in the future.
In addition, you can also store 40 horses at a time, and then get them into reality, in the horse farm over the Yau Ma Tei weather station.
In the future, just selling Arabian horses, sweat horses and thoroughbred horses will make a lot of money.
He even became the largest horse owner on Hong Kong Island and even in Southeast Asia.
After that, he took the horses from his own horse farm to the island country, to the rice country, and to England to compete.
As long as a champion horse is produced, the value of the horse farm can increase exponentially.
If there is a triple crown, the value of the horses in the racecourse will also skyrocket in the future.
——
Out of the novice village, Chu walked forward to have a backbone, and had lunch casually with Zhang Tianzhi.
Got in the car and said to Zhang Tianzhi, who was driving, "Go to Happy Valley Racecourse." ”
Zhang Tianzhi nodded, driving was a little slow at first, Chu Xiangqian didn't care, and looked at today's Oriental Daily.
It didn't take long for Zhang Tianzhi to get acquainted with it, and the speed of the car not only increased, but also drove very smoothly.
And Chu Qianqian looked at the Oriental Daily, and sighed in his heart.
He Yisheng's guy is really a talent, he just provided ideas, and now not only does he report a lot of celebrity gossip, but even the headlines have begun to change in the direction of 'shocking body'.
After reading a newspaper, the car also crossed the sea, and soon arrived at the racecourse.
Spending money to rent an independent stable and signing a contract, Chu Xiangqian asked Zhang Tianzhi and others to pay the money, and he walked into the stable, looked left and right, made sure that there was no one, and released the two sweaty horses casually.
When Zhang Tianzhi returned, Chu Xiangqian was already waiting for him outside the stable.
Zhang Tianzhi didn't realize that there were already two horses in the stable, and followed Chu Xiangqian to the café in the horse farm to drink a cup of coffee.
When he returned to the stable, he only thought that when the two of them were in the café, Chu Xiangqian's people had already sent the two horses over.
After Chu Xiangqian was sure that it was okay for the two sweaty horses to appear in the real world, he called Norton.
Just called the hotel and said it was out early in the morning.
then went to the Diamond Hill set, and sure enough, Norton took his bodyguard Ward to the crew.
Norton heard Chu Xiangqian say that the two horses had arrived, and immediately left the set in a hurry.
At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when he saw two sweaty horses, one red and one gold, the smile on Norton's face did not stop.
On the beautiful, golden sweaty horse, it is definitely the most dazzling of all types of horses.
Moreover, the sweat horse has a slender body, which is slightly slender compared to a thoroughbred, and is naturally more beautiful in appearance.
The only downside is that it is a bit shorter than a thoroughbred.
Chu Qian patted Norton on the shoulder and said with a smile, "Okay, don't look at it, these two horses are already yours anyway, call your aunt to come over and have a look, and then transport them to the dock to London." ”
Norton was immediately a little reluctant to give it to Margarita, and his eyes rolled, "Master, how about I just send this batch of crimson sweat and blood to my aunt?" ”
Chu Xiangqian shrugged indifferently, "Then it's your business, but remember to pay me." ”
Norton nodded hurriedly, "Don't worry, after these two horses are shipped back to London, no one will think that I paid 100,000 pounds for expensive."
Maybe if you sell this golden sweat horse, you can sell it for 80,000 or 100,000 pounds.
However, this horse is so beautiful, I definitely won't change hands. ”
After saying that, he shouted to Ward, "Help me call Aunt Margaery and ask her to come and see these two treasures." ”
Chu Qianqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, with the fanaticism of horse racing in England, I believe that even if Margaery is a princess, she will not be able to refuse a horse that looks very beautiful.
Sure enough, Margaery didn't just take half an hour to rush over, and her eyes lit up when she saw the two sweaty horses.
Especially the golden sweat and blood, Margarita who watched it couldn't wait to ride around the track immediately.
"Norton, get the saddle and rider's suit ready, I'm going to run a few laps on this golden sweat."
Norton hurriedly refused, "Don't even think about it, this golden sweat and blood is mine, and the jujube red one is what I gave you." ”
Margarita's expression twisted, jujube red sweat and blood are actually very beautiful, and just by looking at the horse's muscles and bones, you can know that this horse is very strong.
If you go on the track, you might even be able to run a good result.
But for women, beauty is the first priority.
Seeing that Norton didn't agree, he could only turn his head to look at Chu Xiangqian, who was wearing a close-fitting suit and smiling kindly.
"Chu, listen to Ward, you sold these two horses to Norton?"
Chu Xiangqian smiled and nodded, Margarita suddenly felt that the young man in front of him was not only much more handsome than the last time he saw him, but also less annoying.
"Did Norton pay?"
Chu Xiangqian knew what this woman meant when he heard it, shook his head and refused, "I'm sorry, ma'am, although Norton hasn't paid yet, we have reached a verbal agreement."
And we Celestial Empire people have always paid attention to promises, and we will not regret what we promise.
So if you want this golden sweat blood, you can only negotiate with Norton. ”
Margarita was suddenly disappointed, Norton was naturally overjoyed, and Ward and the other two Margarita's bodyguards couldn't help but admire Chu Xiangqian when they heard this.
But then Chu Xiangqian said again, "Maybe you can book with me, and when I find another golden sweat blood, I will inform you as soon as possible."
And I suggest you order another porcelain white sweat blood. When this kind of horse is in the sun, it is white and does not dare to look at it directly, and it is not beautiful. ”
Margarita nodded again and again, after the sweaty horse changed its fur at the age of one and a half to two years, the coat color was indeed the most beautiful among the three purebloods.
Without thinking about it, he asked, "How much?" ”
Chu shrugged forward, "I can't be sure, just talking about appearance and not mentioning results, 100,000 pounds in gold, 150,000 pounds in porcelain white."
But I offer horses that are just 3 years old and just ready to go on the track.
If you run well, I believe that I don't need to say more, ma'am, you yourself know the market. ”
Margarita nodded, the horse that made the results was naturally different from a simple riding horse, or a simple stallion.
After thinking for a moment, he said to a middle-aged man who looked like a butler, "Mr. Turner, help me prepare a check for 10,000 pounds." ”
After speaking, regardless of whether Turner agreed or not, he continued to say to Chu Xiangqian with a smile, "Chu, 10,000 pounds is enough for the funds you spent when you help me choose a golden horse and a porcelain white sweat and blood, right?" ”
Chu Xiangqian didn't take the check in Turner's hand, "Madam, say something you may not like to hear." As long as I find these two kinds of sweat and blood, I have no shortage of buyers.
So, I won't take the deposit, but I will keep my promise and be the first to notify you when I find it.
Unless you say no, I'll look for a second buyer. ”
Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't help but be a little unbelieving in Chu Xiangqian's words.
Margarita even felt that Chu Xiangqian felt that the deposit of 10,000 pounds was too little, and he didn't plan to sell the horse to himself.
Don't look at her as a princess, in fact, there is not much wealth at her disposal.
And because of his willfulness at the beginning, when he gave up the right to inherit the throne, he also gave up the qualifications of members of the royal family to hold positions in government departments such as charity and non-important positions.
So much so that she can only receive subsidies from the royal family now, which is enough to maintain a luxurious life, but she doesn't want to spend money indiscriminately.
Of course, Margaret also has a lot of assets from her parents and sister, but most of them are real estate and jewelry, and they can't be realized at all.
In desperation, Margaret could only ask, "Chu, can I trust you?" ”
Chu Xiangqian also put away his smile and said, "Of course, my promise has always been effective. ”
Norton on the side hurriedly said, "My master is indeed trustworthy, and this golden sweaty horse is an example." ”
Margaret was a little relieved at this time, and said to Norton with a smile, "Honey, why don't we take a look at your two babies on the runway, how are they?" ”
Naturally, Norton had that in mind.
As soon as the order was given, the trainer, the horse boy and the staff came to put the reins and saddles on the two horses.
The golden mare was quite quiet, only struggled for a while, then calmed down and put on the halter.
But the red and bloody stallion has a bit of a short temper.
Several trainers tried many times, but they couldn't calm it down, let alone put on the hitch.
In desperation, he could only say to Margaret, "Ma'am, I don't think this horse has been tamed yet." ”
Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, the advanced horse taming skills he learned from the game suddenly had a chance to perform.
Ignoring the warnings of a few horse trainers and horse boys, he walked to the side of Crimson Sweat and Blood, and just a few glances quieted it.
Chu Xiangqian put his hand on its neck and stroked it a few times, then turned and beckoned to a horse trainer.
The other party quickly reacted and slowly approached with a halter.
The sweaty horse immediately became vigilant, and even shook his head to warn the other party not to approach.
Chu Xiangqian smiled and stretched out his hand to pat Mar's neck, and a magical scene happened, and the horse was quiet again in an instant.
A group of people really realized that Chu Xiangqian was definitely a master of horse taming.
It didn't take long for the two neatly assembled sweat and blood horses to be led all the way to the runway.
When the two jockeys were called over, Chu Xiangqian suddenly frowned.
After thinking for a moment, Chu Xiangqian realized that there seemed to be no Chinese jockeys at all in this era, and there were no Chinese horse trainers.
While scolding in his heart, Chu Xiangqian also knew that everything was still related to the economy and culture.
When the Chinese are rich, there will be more talents involved in this industry.
However, the really rich Chinese like to be horse owners, but they don't agree with their children becoming professional riders.
Naturally, if you don't have money, you can't get access to horse racing, and even if Chinese horse boys are willing to learn, it is difficult to really learn this knowledge from the ghosts.
Thinking of this, Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but sigh, fortunately, the results of jujube red sweat and blood were not bad.
As a 3-year-old horse on the track for the first time, 1600 meters in 1 minute and 46 seconds is not bad.
A ghost horse trainer in his 40s excitedly told Norton that if he trained hard and found a suitable professional rider, he might be able to run in 1 minute and 40 seconds.
And this result is on Hong Kong Island, at least it can be on the track to participate in the race.
Luckily, it wasn't difficult to get a ranking in the absence of particularly strong competitors.
Chu Xiangqian knew that although the quality of these horses from the novice village was good, he knew that he was definitely not the best when he looked at the three-dimensional appearance.
Otherwise, he would be stupid and sell two horses to Norton for 100,000 pounds.
Of course, Chu Xiangqian himself really didn't know much about the market of horse racing and stallions, and he didn't realize that the price difference between horses with excellent quality would be so big.
With this experience, Chu Xiangqian will naturally not suffer any more losses in the future.
Norton and Margaret listened to the trainer, and since they both grew up watching horse races, they naturally knew a lot about horse racing.
Secretly saying that you can buy this horse for 50,000 pounds, it is indeed a big profit.
Margaret looked at Chu Qianqian and asked, "Chu, are you sure that you will sell these two horses to Norton for 100,000 pounds?" ”
Chu shrugged forward, "I do regret it, but I believe that in the long run, I will double the money I lost because of my mistakes in the future." ”
Margaret and Norton knew what Chu Xiangqian meant when they heard it.
As long as the horses he offers in the future can also be on the track, regardless of the results, at least the price will increase a lot.
Just like this red sweat and blood horse, his current worth has risen to 6 or 70,000 pounds, to say the least.
If that golden sweat and blood horse can also run this result, the price will immediately soar to 10 or 120,000.
After the golden sweat and blood then ran a time of 1:45.87, Norton waved his fist excitedly and roared.
Then he looked at Chu Xiangqian excitedly and said, "Master, you are so great, when I go back, I will choose 1 oil painting to thank you." ”
Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity to say, "Then why don't you exchange the 100,000 pounds of horse racing purchase fee for antiques from the Celestial Empire and oil paintings from Europe and the United States." ”
Norton nodded without thinking about it, "No problem, I'll help you find it when I get back to London." And, I'm sure to send you a good painting. ”
Margaret looked at Chu Xiangqian and Norton in surprise, walked over to Ward and whispered a few words.
Hearing that Chu Xiangqian liked the antiques of the Celestial Empire and Picasso's oil paintings, his eyes couldn't help but light up.
It is true that he is short of cash, but if he remembers correctly, there seem to be a lot of Celestial Dynasty antiques in the manor that his mother gave him, and they have been sealed in one of the warehouses in the underground warehouse.
Even if these antiques should not be worth much, dozens or hundreds of pieces should be worth tens of thousands of pounds.
If he selected the best products in it and used them to exchange them with Chu, he would definitely not think about selling the sweaty horses he found in the future to others.
If the entire treasury is taken out, let alone two horses, it should not be difficult to have dozens or twenty horses.
"Chu, if I have a chance, I would like to invite you to my manor in the suburbs of London, and by the way, I will take a look at some of my collection of Oriental antiques, maybe we will have a lot to talk about."
Chu Xiangqian suddenly became interested, and when he heard that Margaret actually had an entire treasury of Heavenly Dynasty antiques.
I want to snatch it all back, but this thought is just a thought, but it doesn't prevent me from buying it back, or exchanging it back.
made an appointment with Margaret to swap things, Chu Xiangqian even thought about whether to wait for the new sweaty horse to be refreshed in the game, and take the horse to upgrade to a higher level.
Then add the points to the physique, so that even if the horse's speed does not increase, it can still perform very well in endurance racing.
But this thought was only a few seconds, and he was thrown to the sky.
Dark channel, if you add points, you can increase it by 0.1 or 0.1.
It only needs to increase endurance and speed by 0.2, and it is almost a championship racehorse.
After testing the two horses, Chu Xiangqian was going to say goodbye to Norton, but he didn't want Margaret to ask in a low voice, "Chu, when you taught Norton Kung Fu that day, did you deliberately show rudeness and rudeness?" ”
Chu Xiangqian's heart tightened, and secretly said Could it be who broke the news to the woman in front of him?
Or did she notice something unusual afterwards and asked someone about herself?
Thinking like this, Chu Xiangqian immediately extinguished the idea of lying.
He smiled and said, "I'm sorry, there are some things that we have always forbidden outsiders to watch. In more serious cases, stealing scholars will be held accountable very severely.
That's the only way I can remind you to leave. ”
Margaret said secretly, as she had guessed.
As for why she was suspicious, it was actually Norton who often mentioned things about Chu Xiangqian when he was in front of Margaret.
It is not an exaggeration to say that there is worship.
As long as Margaret is not stupid, she knows that with Norton's character, there is no reason to put up with a rude and rude person from time to time.
Then he tried it twice, and determined that Norton only respected and admired Chu Xiangqian, the master, without a trace of complaint and dissatisfaction.
Only then did I roughly determine my thoughts.
After asking just now, he really asked the truth from Chu Xiangqian's mouth.
Margaret was surprisingly not angry, for the simple reason that Norton admired Chu Qianqian so much, which also made Margaret a little curious about kung fu.
"Chu, can you also teach me some kung fu? If necessary, I can also apprentice. ”
Chu shrugged forward, "The kung fu I learned is not suitable for women. ”
After speaking, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Tianzhi, who had been staying behind him.
Zhang Tianzhi's face changed, and he shook his head hurriedly, "Boss, I'd rather teach you Wing Chun than have anything to do with foreign women." ”
Chu Xiangqian smiled and shook his head, the basic kung fu of Wing Chun, he had seen a lot on the Internet in his previous life.
It's just to teach a woman who has no foundation, where does Zhang Tianzhi need to teach herself first.
After thinking about it, he said, "It's not impossible to learn kung fu, but you must first have enough perseverance, otherwise don't waste everyone's time." ”
Margaery nodded, as a female aristocrat who learned to ride and paint since she was a child, she persevered in the process of learning to ride a horse.
"Then how about I invite you to my temporary villa tomorrow morning and teach me kung fu?"
Chu Xiangqian was naturally fine, but after thinking about it, he still shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, tomorrow I will invest in and participate in the movie, and there will be only one last scene left."
If everything is in order, it should only take two days to shoot. ”
As soon as Margaret heard about the movie, she was immediately as interested as Norton.
"Can I be invited to visit your crew?"
After speaking, he was afraid that Chu Xiangqian would refuse, and continued, "Don't worry, I won't disturb the filming." ”
Chu Xiangqian thought about it and wanted to establish a good relationship with Margaret, in addition to the most direct and effective relationship with her.
It's just a matter of doing what you like.
Not to mention just visiting the crew, it's no problem to shoot a short film specifically for her.
Chu Xiangqian pointed at Norton and said, "Norton has basically stayed in my crew every day these days, if you want to go, you can join him." ”
Margaret's face was happy, and she secretly said that Norton, this bastard kid, had something fun, and he didn't call himself himself.
Secretly there will be a good look for you.
Returning the two horses to the stable, Margaret, a party maniac, naturally did not forget to use the excuse that she had a new sweaty horse, and planned to celebrate in the evening.
Chu Xiangqian also wanted to take the opportunity to get to know a few more local magnates and wealthy people, so naturally he would not refuse.
At half past six in the evening, Chu Xiangqian, who had changed into a black suit, came to a villa on the top of the mountain on time.
After showing the invitation and entering the villa, he was seen by Norton, who had been keeping an eye on the gate of the villa.
"Master, let me introduce you, this is Mr. Hader from the Chief Secretary for Administration."
Chu Xiangqian smiled and shook hands with the other party.
And although Hader, the ghost guy, looked down on Chu Xiangqian in his heart, his attitude was very enthusiastic.
Chu Xiangqian didn't care what this ghost guy thought in his heart, if he needed it in the future, Norton's relationship was just a stepping stone.
In the end, you have to rely on money to speak.
I also got to know more than a dozen ghost officials, local celebrities, and wealthy businessmen.
Margaret appeared on the stairs on the second floor, dressed in full costume. Now everyone's eyes are on her.
Chu Xiangqian pretended not to understand, pulled Norton and asked in a low voice, "You tell me honestly, what is Margaret's identity?" ”
Norton didn't hide it anymore, and said with a smile, "I'm sorry master, it's not that I want to hide it from you, but Aunt Margaret's visit to Hong Kong Island is a secret trip."
So I can only cooperate with her to hide it. ”
After speaking, explain Margaret's identity and why she suddenly came to Hong Kong Island.
Chu Xiangqian pretended to be suddenly enlightened, and then said with a dark face, "I agreed to teach Margaret Kung Fu."
If this is injured because of practicing kung fu, England still can't hate me to death? ”
Norton shook his head, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered, "Master, if you can make Margaret have an extra athletic hobby from the labels of party maniac, shopaholic, love freak, etc., many people will thank you." ”
