Lan Gang and Fat Bo gave Chu Xiangqian a thumbs up, and secretly liked Chu Xiangqian, a person who put credibility and commitment first.

Ge Bai, Hader, Bridge and others echoed Kuachu forward, but regretted it again, and failed to grit their teeth and use 150,000 pounds to set the sweaty horse for Chu Qianqian early.

Ge Bai simply said, "Why don't we go and see that horse?" ”

Chu Xiangqian naturally wouldn't say that this horse was still being raised in his own game.

Before, Margaret was anxious to see the horse, and Chu Xiangqian himself promised that it would be transported to Hong Kong Island before going to London.

But afterwards he forgot about it, and could only excuse that there was an accident on the way to the transport, so he had to change the destination and fly directly to London.

While nodding to Ge Bai and the others, Chu Xiangqian looked at his watch, "It's better to take the car to my ranch tomorrow morning."

Lest you prepare on the fly, and if you don't do well, you will hurt the horse. ”

Even if Ge Bai and the others were anxious, in the face of this scruple, they could only hold back their emotions.

Chu Xiangqian continued, "Since everyone is here to see the champion knight, why don't you take advantage of the fact that the champion is still undergoing recovery training in the stable of the racecourse and go to see it together in the afternoon?" ”

Now Ge Bai and the others have no opinion.

When I got to the racecourse, I saw Lindsay riding a champion knight jogging on the racecourse.

Bridge, who had seen the champion knight on Hong Kong Island before, and the others immediately became excited.

And although it wasn't a race day, there were still thousands of people in the racecourse who came to watch the new champion Knight.

Lei Luo, Lan Gang, and Fat Bo saw so many ghosts around them, lying on the fence next to the track like chasing stars, pointing at the champion knight, and couldn't help but glance at each other.

Secretly said, should I also raise a racehorse?

Chu Xiangqian beside him, but an expert among experts in this area, otherwise, how could he raise a racing horse that can break the Triple Crown record?

"Achu, how about you wait until you build a horse farm at the weather station and help me choose a good horse?"

After Lei Luo finished speaking, he hurriedly said, "The price is not a problem. ”

Chu Xiangqian has a natural and kind attitude towards new customers.

But he is not stupid, and it is impossible to guarantee that he will help Lei Luo choose a champion horse.

Shaking his head and smiling, he said, "Brother Luo, to be honest, although I know how to take a horse, I am also confident that I can see at a glance whether a horse is good or not."

But the difference between the horses that can get on the track is only one or two positions, or tenths of a second.

It's okay to be a good horse, a champion horse, that's really hard for me.

Also, with a change of knight, the results of horse racing have improved, and there are many examples of even winning championships.

This, along with the selection of trainers, veterinarians and other members of the support team, is a factor in determining performance.

All of this adds up to too many variables. So many horse owners know that champions depend on luck. Only on the track do you see the strength. ”

Lei Luo, Lan Gang, and Fat Bo thought about it and knew that Chu Xiangqian was not talking nonsense.

Lan Gang scratched his head, "It's so troublesome, I'll forget it." With this time and energy, it is better to find a few more beautiful pillars to talk about love and love.

No matter how bad it is, it is easier to go home to accompany his wife than to think about horse racing all day long. ”

Fat Bo also nodded, "I can't handle the three tigresses in my family, and if there is another racehorse with seven or eight people to serve, I will not have a peaceful life in the future." ”

Chu Qianqian glanced at these two guys, and secretly said that he had gone too far, scaring away these two big hoses, which was equivalent to missing two buyers.

However, at this time, the two were still really developed.

The money in his hand is indeed not much, and when will Langang be worth more than 100 million Hong Kong dollars, he will not blink his eyes when he buys one or two horses of 60,000 or 70,000 pounds, that is, hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

If Lei Luo really becomes the champion horse owner on Hong Kong Island, I believe that Blue Steel will definitely want to play as a champion horse owner.

Chu Xiangqian's gaze couldn't help but fall on Lei Luo.

"Brother Luo, just now in the hotel, you also heard that 5 or 60,000 pounds sweaty horse, there is no problem at all when you are a stallion.

I promise that the horses sold from me will at least be no worse than the horses in the herds of Central Asia.

Buy a male and two females for a few years, and give birth to two foals, one is enough to offset the expenses on these horses in a few years.

This deal is actually not a loss, otherwise they would really be stupid Ge Bai and Hader?

Besides, Bridge is the club's executive director, and he's an expert on it. ”

Lei Luo, Lan Gang, and Fei Bo had no doubts about Chu's previous words.

The three of them have dealt with Ge Bai a lot of times, and they really treat the ghost guy as a fool, and he is the stupidest one.

I heard Chu Xiangqian continue, "The investment in raising horses is not too high, and the prospects are not bad. But if you want a horse that can go on the track, then the cost is high.

And 2 and a half or 3-year-old horses, what the real ability is, in fact, the owner himself has long known.

Just like the pure white sweat horse I gave to Margaret, I only need to pull it out and run, not to mention the owner, and the buyer also has a rough conclusion in his heart.

If you want the title, bet big. I promise that although I can't be 100% sure of the winner, I will definitely be qualified to go on the track. ”

Lei Luo thought for a moment and nodded emphatically, "It's already a rare good horse to be on the track, and I also know more than a dozen horse owners on Hong Kong Island."

When this group of people talked about horse racing, they looked at the eyes of other people, and they all meant to be superior.

But whose horse has made achievements between them, looking at the other horse owners, their eyes are full of pride.

My requirements are not high, the bottom is guaranteed on the track, and the upper limit is the top five. Fight hard, and the top three will be considered a victory. ”

Chu Xiangqian is easy to do now, the three-dimensional attributes of the champion knight are 1.4, strength 1.2, and agility 1.6.

As long as the agility reaches 1.5, it is absolutely no problem to participate in the second-level event.

Luckily, the top three are really not difficult, after all, there are so many horse races, it is impossible to meet extremely strong horses every time.

Moreover, the state of the horse is the same as that of an athlete, and if it is not an agility of 1.6, it will definitely run well.

Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian would not be on Hong Kong Island and London, and before going to the track, he would have to bring the champion knight into the game and give him a bottle of blood bottle.

In order to get the champion rider on the track in the best condition.

Chu Xiangqian thought for a while, "250,000 pounds, I'll get you a sweaty horse that can definitely go on the track." If you want a thoroughbred, £150,000? ”

Lei Luo, Blue Steel, and Fat Bo were stunned for a moment, and hurriedly asked, "Didn't you say that thoroughbreds are the most expensive?" What is also a horse on the track, but it is actually a sweaty horse that is more expensive? ”

Chu shrugged forward, "Just because of the sweat and blood horse, in terms of speed and physique, it is half as weak as the purebred horse."

For two horses with the same speed, the physical strength of the sweaty horse will be superior.

It is also scarce on the market, so naturally it is more expensive. ”

Only then did the three of them understand, and after thinking about it during the day, Lei Luo was not sure whether to buy sweat blood for 250,000 pounds or spend 150,000 pounds to buy thoroughbreds.

The former is 4 million Hong Kong dollars, and the latter is 2.4 million Hong Kong dollars, which is equivalent to one-fifth of his annual net income.

With so much money, just to buy a horse, Lei Luo was suddenly a little reluctant.

"Achu, you can help me choose, I really don't know which one to buy!"

"I definitely want to sweat and blood horses", Chu Xiangqian said without hesitation, "Think about it, there are so many pure-bloods on the track, which is equivalent to the horse owners on Hong Kong Island, all of them are pure-blooded horse owners."

If your horse, which is inherently inferior to other horse owners, outperforms theirs, wouldn't it be more face-saving? It also seems that you have a better eye for horses? ”

For this alone, Lei Luo had already thought of buying a sweat horse.

Of course, if the horse that Chu Xiangqian sold was too different from what he said, then he would definitely have to find a theory.

But if he can get on the track, even if he is the last one, Lei Luo will not ask Chu Xiangqian to say that he wants to return the money.

If he did that, he would be the one who would be ridiculed for keeping it.

Therefore, Chu Xiangqian didn't plan to give Lei Luo the best horse at the beginning, otherwise he wouldn't have opened his mouth for only 250,000 pounds.

"Second, the sweat and blood horses who have made achievements can immediately rise in value. And those guys will definitely look for you for a chance to breed foals. ”

At this time, Lei Luo was reassured, and even Blue Steel and Fat Bo began to move.

just wanted to say that he also wanted to buy it, but when he thought about 4 million Hong Kong dollars, the two of them were immediately discouraged.

scolded secretly, thinking that when I went back, I would think more about how to make money.

Even if Lei Luo takes the lead, he will have to follow up in a year or two.

Lei Luo also saw the thoughts of Lan Gang and Fat Bo, for fear that the two would cooperate and it would be easy for one person to come up with 2 million.

Busy said to Chu Xiangqian, "Okay, Ah Chu, this matter is settled." When I go back, I'll ask the lard boy to send you 4 million. ”

After they had finished talking, Ge Bai and the others had seen the same, and saw that the champion knight was led off the track and walked in the direction of the stable.

Hurriedly returned to Chu Xiangqian and the others, "Chu, we want to take a photo with the champion knight, can you take us to the stable?" ”

"No problem", Chu Xiangqian was not worried at all, the flash would disturb the champion knight.

With himself by his side, this horse keeper will stand honestly.

In the afternoon, Ge Bai and these ghosts took pictures and chatted with Lindsay and Old Wood.

It seems that this is to ask Old Wood about some precautions related to the Triple Crown.

It is considered to understand in advance, lest in the future his horse really go to the Triple Crown race, but he will be held back.

Since Ge Bai and the others are horse owners, they naturally want to make their own horse tracks, but horse trainers are easy to find, and the champion horse trainer is one of the thousands.

Champion riders are even more scarce.

Lei Luo also joined the chat, but he couldn't speak English, so he could only pull Blue Steel and Fat Bo together, trying to find a good rider from Old Wood's side in advance.

If he could, he would like to hire Old Wood as a trainer for his horses.

It's a pity that Old Wood is not short of work at all, and he has no other thoughts until the Treble is finished.

Instead, he found Chu Xiangqian and said, "BOSS, the second stop of the Triple Crown will be held in Birmingham." If I could, I'd like to take the champion knights to Birmingham and get used to the local climate.

It's just that this makes security a little more thought and investment. ”

Chu Xiangqian also knew that the Champion Knight's current value was at least one or two million pounds.

When he wins the second crown, the value of the champion knight will definitely double.

If someone were to target this horse, it would be possible to take a risk.

Thinking about it like this, Chu Xiangqian directly rejected Old Wood's suggestion.

"Birmingham is only a 3 hour drive from London and the climate is no different. Or send the champion knight to Margaret's estate.

Wait for the first three days of the race, and then transport the champion knight over.

I can also find a few full-time bodyguards to join your team while I have enough time.

And I will pay the salaries of these bodyguards, which will not affect your bonus dividends. ”

Old Wood hurriedly thanked him, so he didn't think about it, and continued to argue with Chu Xiangqian about the benefits of arriving at the racetrack early.

Back at the hotel in the afternoon, Margaret had already returned with Lan Gang's daughter-in-law and Lei Luo's daughter-in-law.

Looking at the shopping bags, Chu Xiangqian smiled and shook his head, "It seems that you have achieved good results in the afternoon." ”

Margaret covered her mouth and laughed, and after a while, she said, "Honey, I ordered two suits for you, and I also bought a few finished sets for everyday wear. ”

Chu Xiangqian was stunned, he didn't expect this chick to buy so many clothes for herself, Bai Yuechang and Ye Baoying on the side looked at Margaret with a smile as if she was a little girl who had just fallen in love at this time.

couldn't help laughing, which suddenly made Margaret blush a little shyly.

Chu Xiangqian stretched out his hand to hold Margaret's hand, said hello to Bai Yuechang and Ye Baoying, and after dinner, he took Margaret to say goodbye.

Sending this chick back, Chu Xiangqian drove his car to the dock in the East End of London.

I found a public phone booth, waited until 9:55, got out of the car and called a dry goods store on Hong Kong Island.

It took more than 10 minutes to transfer the call before I got in touch with Qian Guotai over there.

As soon as the two connected, Qian Guotai hurriedly said, "Achu, I'm sorry, I made a mistake before." If you want to get rebar, the seller says, if you count it for 1,000 tons, the price will be about 11 US dollars cheaper. ”

Chu knew from hearing it before that what Qian Guotai really wanted to say was that he had mistaken the price of iron ore.

It's full of crap at the back, just a reminder that the phone may not be safe.

"Okay, uncle, I see. I'll talk to the people here about the exact amount of reinforcement needed, and I'll get back to you later. ”

Qian Guotai breathed a sigh of relief, "Okay, wait for you to call back, or talk about it when you come back."

By the way, I now live in Rock Road Parkman Building. ”

After speaking, the floor and house number were reported.

Before Chu came before, he knew where Qian Guotai lived.

As soon as I heard this, I immediately realized that the 5-digit floor and house number should be the phone number.

Half an hour later, both of them changed phones and contacted again.

Chu only realized that when Qian Guotai went to ask someone he knew about the price of iron ore, when the other party checked the newspapers in the past, because he was not a practitioner in the iron ore-related industry.

That's when the dry tons in the newspaper were seen as thousands of tons.

Dry tons are said to be unwatered iron ore powder.

During the transportation of iron ore, trucks and trains will blow sand due to the wind. So during transportation, water will be poured on the iron ore powder.

It was only when I saw the offer given by Qian Guotai that I realized that Qian Guotai had made a mistake.

But after Qian Guotai found out, Chu had already gone to London before.

Chu previously learned that 1 ton of ore powder with 70% iron content was 11 US dollars, and his heart couldn't help jumping up.

There are 6,000 tons of iron ore per day in the game, 180,000 tons a month and 2.16 million tons a year.

Even if it costs to make iron ore into ore powder, it is only sold at a price of 10 US dollars a ton, which is equivalent to 21.6 million US dollars and 87.6 million Hong Kong dollars.

This money Chu would not have been given to the mainland in vain before, and the boss also knew that Chu could not have been so generous and selfless before.

In the end, the result of the negotiation was that if Chu had previously wished, all the 2.16 million tons of ore per year would be bought from the mainland and shipped to the steel mill in Nanguang for refining.

Then negotiate a price, export all the steel to Chu Qian, and resell the finished steel on Hong Kong Island.

To put it bluntly, it is to help Chu refine iron ore before and earn a hard fee.

However, Qian Guotai also said to Chu Qianming that he had asked experts in this area if iron ore was really the best rich ore with an iron content of 70%.

In the refining process, the cost will be much less than that of 40 or 50% of the iron ore in the mainland.

Even if he didn't make Chu's previous money, the cost saved alone was enough to make the mainland willing to help him refine.

Chu had just thought about it before, and then rejected the proposal.

There are more than $20 million involved in this, and the top may be thinking about a win-win situation.

However, when it is actually assigned to the following execution, there are various troubles in the custody.

Qian Guotai couldn't help but sigh when he heard Chu's previous worries.

"Forget it, I've thought about this too, if you have any scruples, just treat it as if the iron ore incident didn't happen."

Chu was a little embarrassed after hearing it before, but thinking about more than 20 million US dollars and his own safety, he couldn't be soft-hearted about this matter.

After thinking about it, he said, "Fortunately, I saw the latest price of iron ore from the newspaper here in London. Otherwise, I'm sure I'm going to get in trouble with that collaborator who owes me money.

At that time, they obviously promised to give me 900,000 tons of iron ore worth 900,000 US dollars a month to pay off the money owed to me. But because of a misunderstanding, I went to trouble others, and even killed the other party directly.

If this gets out, I won't want to do business with anyone in the future. ”

When I talked to Qian Guotai about the iron ore before, the novice village only produced 3,000 tons a day, or 90,000 tons a month.

Chu naturally didn't mention it at this time before, and the iron ore he could take out every month had become 180,000 tons.

Moreover, in order to make the boss forget about the iron ore as soon as possible.

Chu Qian rolled his eyes and said, "Speaking of which, I also took advantage of my friend. The guy owed me £400,000 for the goods.

Converted to US dollars, it is 1.6 million. Now it only takes two months for the other party to pay off the debt.

I thought that the $1.6 million would take many years, and I almost wanted someone to knock on the door. ”

Qian Guotai's heart tightened, and secretly said that he was fine. I also felt more and more guilty and self-blamed.

Chu Xiangqian heard the nervousness in his heart through the changes in Qian Guotai's breathing.

The corners of his mouth smiled slightly, sighed, and continued, "After my friend pays off the bill, even if I still want it, I can only pay back the money to buy it."

It's a hassle to think about, and it costs me a lot of cash.

Even if he acts as a middleman in the mainland and helps to purchase iron ore, he also has to buy foreign currency.

It's really better to use the iron ore mined in the mainland. That's it, Uncle Qian, you told the boss that the quotation was wrong, and the problem is on my side.

lest the higher authorities turn you back because of this. If I send someone new, I can't trust them. ”

Qian Guotai couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, and at the same time began to rejoice that he listened to Chu Qian's words, came out of the mouth of foreign affairs, and became Chu's former employee.

Otherwise, such a big mistake alone would be enough to call yourself back and be punished.

At that time, he may not have the opportunity to stay on Hong Kong Island again, but will be transferred to an inconsequential department for retirement.

It's just that Qian Guotai thought about it, and said directly, "The mistakes I made will naturally be borne by myself." But don't worry, the boss only gave me a big demerit, and didn't mean to transfer me back to Beijing. ”

"That's good", Chu Xiangqian was also relieved, comforted Qian Guotai a few words, and hung up the phone.

After the iron ore incident, Chu Xiangqian didn't want to mention natural rubber now.

Unless you spend money to buy it in China in the future, it's better to take it easy.

——

I spent money to rent a boat more than ten meters long and drove it east in the Thames.

More than 1 hour later, the boat came to the dock near the London City Airport, Chu Qian stopped the boat and entered the cabin, and waited silently until 12 o'clock.

Entering the novice village, he took the pure white sweat horse out of the stable, didn't even put on the saddle, jumped on the horse and ran to the grassland.

At the fox spawn point, kill three foxes with three shots, get 150 experience points, upgrade the horse by one level, and add points to the system.

Constitution 1.4+1, Strength 1.2, Agility 1.5.

A 2.4 physique is believed to be enough to run a championship in endurance races, and an agility of 1.5 is only 0.1 worse than the champion knight.

Riding a white horse to the novice village, he spent a few gold coupons to directly give the white horse a complete set of saddles.

Waiting for Chu to move forward, put the full set of saddles in the white horse's equipment grid, and even the horseshoe was on the white horse's four hooves.

Then I rode it back to the stable.

Then he rode on the red rabbit, and a whistle called the big Zhuang and the red girl in the village.

I first took a turn at the three wild horse refresh points, but I didn't expect to brush out 9 sweaty horses today.

Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed, and he was worried that the money to buy the building in Knightsbridge was not enough, and this time he refreshed 9 sweaty horses and transported them all back to the ranch.

Tomorrow, after Ge Bai and them go to the ranch, maybe they will be all covered by them.

60,000 or 70,000 pounds a horse is 5 or 600,000 pounds.

Coupled with the 24 sweaty horses that were already raised in the stable, Chu Xiangqian thought about it, gritted his teeth, and simply took out all these horses.

It's just that in this way, the boat I rented seems too small.

When they went ashore and made a call to the ranch, the five workers heard that the boss had brought a batch of horses, cattle and sheep over.

Busy following Chu Xiangqian's instructions, he began to prepare overnight.

Chu Xiangqian himself rented a large warehouse in the dock, and the were staring outside, after making sure that there was no one.

Chu Xiangqian released all 34 sweaty horses.

Then there were 36 cows and 75 sheep left over for the past two or three days.

More than a dozen bundles of hay were left in the warehouse, and then the warehouse was closed, and the ranch was called, and the workers contacted the transportation company to transfer the cattle, sheep and horses to the dock.

By the way, make a customs declaration at the airport.

The cost of customs entry at the intersection point will also be much less troublesome in the future.

At about 3 o'clock in the morning, four transport trucks with long trailers arrived at the dock, and five workers also rushed over with the vehicles.

Seeing more than 100 cows, sheep and horses in the warehouse, no one doubted how these animals were brought in.

No one even thinks about it.
