Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 258 Selling horses really makes money
Sure enough, Chu Qianqian rode Chitu to the south of the village and saw that behind the wooden fence were really stables. Not only was a row of stables 30 meters long and 16 meters wide exposed, but there was also a running track outside the stables, with only part of it exposed. .

And next to the stables, there is a feed warehouse that is 10 meters by 5 meters.

Chu Xiangqian jumped over the wooden fence and looked at the stables first. Although they were not considered modern stables, they were quite functional.

Automatic feeding, automatic cleaning, and each stable can be automatically opened every day to let the horses in it run to the track.

When the horse is tired, hungry or thirsty, he will go into the stable to eat and drink by himself.

After Chu Xiangqian walked through the stable, he also counted it silently in his mind. There were two aisles and four rows of stables in the entire stable.

10 in a row equals 40 stables.

In other words, at least 40 horses can be maintained.

He hurriedly ran back to Novice Village, rode the red rabbit, took the jade lion and the pony, as well as 2 sweats and 2 Arabian horses, and sent them all to the stables.

He also put the 100 bundles of [-] kilograms of grass in the storage compartment into the feed warehouse.

Soon, in the stable, the stable where Chitu and other horses were, green grass appeared automatically, and the water tank was also filled with clean water.

Chu Xiangqian was overjoyed. With this function, he would not have to worry about raising horses in the future.

Moreover, you can store 40 horses at once and bring them to reality, to the horse farm next to the Yau Ma Tei weather station.

In the future, he can make a lot of money just by selling Arabian horses, sweat horses and thoroughbred horses.

He even became the largest horse owner in Hong Kong Island and even Southeast Asia.

From now on, I will take the horses from my own racecourse to compete in island countries, the United States, and England.

As long as there is a champion horse, the value of the racecourse can increase exponentially.

If there is a Triple Crown winner, the value of the horses in the racecourse will skyrocket in the future.
-
After leaving Novice Village, Chu Qianqian walked to You Guangqian and had lunch with Zhang Tianzhi.

After getting in the car, he said to Zhang Tianzhi who was driving, "Go to Happy Valley Racecourse."

Zhang Tianzhi nodded. He drove a little slowly at the beginning. Chu Xiangqian didn't pay attention and looked at it with today's Oriental Daily.

It didn't take long for Zhang Tianzhi to get familiar with it, and the speed of the car not only increased, but also drove very smoothly.

And Chu looked forward to the Oriental Daily, feeling emotional in his heart.

That guy He Yisheng is really a talent. He just provided ideas. Now not only are there a lot of celebrity gossip reports, but even the headlines have begun to change in the direction of "shock".

After reading a newspaper, the car crossed the sea and soon arrived at the racecourse.

After spending money to rent an independent stable and signing the contract, Chu Xiangqian asked Zhang Tianzhi and others to pay the money. He walked into the stable, looked around to make sure there was no one there, and casually released the two bloody horses. .

When Zhang Tianzhi came back, Chu Xiangqian was already waiting for him outside the stable.

Zhang Tianzhi didn't even realize that there were two horses in the stable, so he followed Chu Qianqian to the cafe in the racecourse for a cup of coffee.

When he returned to the stable, he just thought that when the two of them were in the cafe, the people from Chu Xiangqian had already brought the two horses over.

After Chu Xiangqian made sure that it was okay for the two sweat horses to appear in the real world, he called Norton.

I just called the hotel and said I was leaving early in the morning.

Then he called the Diamond Head set, and sure enough, Norton brought his bodyguard Ward to the set.

When Norton heard Chu Xiangqiang say that the two sweaters had arrived, he hurriedly left the set.

At around 3 o'clock in the afternoon, when he saw two bloody horses, one red and one golden, the smile on Norton's face never stopped.

In terms of beauty, the golden sweat horse is definitely the most dazzling among all types of horses.

Moreover, sweathorses have a slender body, slightly slender than purebred horses, and are naturally more beautiful in appearance.

The only drawback is that it is shorter than a thoroughbred horse.

Chu stepped forward and 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 first to come and have a look, and then transport them to the dock to send them to London. .”

Norton was immediately reluctant to give it to Margarita, and rolled his eyes, "Master, how about I just give this batch of red blood to my aunt?"

Chu Qianqian shrugged nonchalantly, "That'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 spent 10 pounds to buy them too much.

Maybe if you resell this golden sweat horse, you can sell it for 8 or 10 pounds.

However, this horse is so beautiful, I will definitely not change hands. "

After saying that, he shouted to Ward, "Call Aunt Margery for me and ask her to come over and take a look at these two babies."

Chu smiled forward. With England's enthusiasm for horse racing, he believed that even if Margaery was a princess, she would not be able to refuse a very beautiful horse.

Sure enough, Margery rushed over in just half an hour, and her eyes were shining when she saw the two sweaty horses.

Especially the golden horse Sweat, which made Margarita want to ride it for a lap on the track.

"Norton, hurry up and get the saddle and riding clothes ready. I want to ride this golden horse for a few laps."

Norton quickly refused, "Don't even think about it. This golden sweat horse is mine, and the maroon horse is the one I gave to you."

Margarita's expression twisted, the red sweat was actually very beautiful, and just by looking at the horse's muscles and bones, you could tell that this horse was very strong.

If I go on the track, I might even get a good result.

But for women, beauty is the most important thing.

Seeing that Norton refused to agree, he could only turn his head to look at Chu Qianqian, who was wearing a close-fitting suit and smiling kindly.

"Chu, I heard from Ward that you sold these two sweat horses to Norton?"

Chu Qianqian smiled and nodded, and Margarita suddenly felt that the young man in front of her was not only much more handsome, but also less annoying than the last time she saw him.

"Did Norton pay?"

Chu Xiangqian knew what the woman meant as soon as he heard it, shook his head and refused, "Sorry, ma'am, although Norton hasn't paid yet, we have reached a verbal agreement.

And we Chinese people have always been very particular about keeping our promises, and we will never go back on our promises.

So if you want this golden sweat horse, you can only discuss it with Norton. "

Margarita suddenly became disappointed, and Norton was naturally overjoyed. Ward and the other two Margarita's bodyguards couldn't help but admire Chu Qianqian after hearing this.

But then Chu Xiangqian said, "Perhaps you can make a reservation with me, and I will notify you as soon as I find another golden sweat.

And I suggest you order another porcelain white sweat.When this kind of horse is in the sun, it is so white that people dare not look directly at it, and it is also so beautiful that it is unbelievable. "

Margarita nodded again and again. After the bloody horse moults at one and a half to two years old, its coat color is indeed the most beautiful among the three purebreds.

Without even thinking about it, I asked, "How much?"

Chu Xiangqian shrugged, "I can't be sure. Just talking about appearance without mentioning achievements, gold is 10 pounds and porcelain white is 15 pounds.

But the horses I provide are all 3-year-old horses that have just reached adulthood and are just ready to go on the track.

If you get good results, I believe you don’t need me to say more, madam, you will know the market yourself. "

Margarita nodded. A performance horse is naturally different from a pure riding horse or a pure stallion.

After thinking about it, he said to a middle-aged man who looked like a butler, "Mr. Turner, prepare a check for 1 pounds for me."

After saying that, regardless of whether Turner agreed or not, he smiled and continued to say to Chu Xiangqian, "Chu, 1 pounds is enough for you to help me choose a golden horse and a porcelain white horse, right?"

Chu Xiangqian did not accept the check from Turner's hand, "Madam, let me tell you 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.

Therefore, I will not accept the deposit, but I will keep my promise and notify you first when I find it.

Unless you say no, I will look for a second buyer. "

Everyone was stunned, and they couldn't help but feel a little disbelieving about Chu Xiangqian's words.

Margarita even felt that Chu Xiangqian felt that the deposit of 1 pounds was too small and did not intend to sell the horse to herself.

Although she is a princess, she actually does not have much wealth at her disposal.

And because of his original willfulness, when he gave up the right to inherit the throne, he also gave up the qualifications of the royal family members to hold positions in government departments such as charity and non-important positions.

So much so that now she can only receive subsidies from the royal family, which is enough to maintain a luxurious life, but she can't even think about spending money arbitrarily.

Of course, Margaret also has a lot of assets in her name given by her parents and sisters, but most of them are real estate and jewelry, which cannot be liquidated at all.

In desperation, Margaret could only ask seriously, "Chu, can I trust you?"

Chu Xiangqian also put away his smile and said seriously, "Of course, my promise is always valid."

Norton on the side helped, "My master is indeed trustworthy, and this golden horse is an example."

Margaret felt a little relieved and said to Norton with a smile, "Dear, how about we take a look at the performance of your two precious horses on the track first?"

Norton naturally had this idea too.

As soon as the instructions were given, horse trainers, stable boys and staff came over to put reins, saddles and other things on the two horses.

The golden mare was relatively quiet. She struggled for a while, then calmed down and put on the bridle.

But the red sweat-blooded stallion had a bit of a bad temper.

Several horse trainers tried many times but could not get it to calm down, let alone put a halter on it.

In desperation, she could only say to Margaret, "Madam, I think this horse has not been tamed yet."

Chu Xiangqian smiled at the corner of his mouth, and immediately had a chance to show off the advanced horse training skills he had learned from the game.

Ignoring the warnings of several horse trainers and stable boys, he walked up to Chihong Sweatblood, and calmed him down with just a few glances.

Chu stepped forward and put his hand on its neck to stroke it a few times, then turned and waved to a horse trainer.

The other party reacted quickly and slowly approached with the halter in hand.

The sweaty horse immediately became alert and even shook its head to warn the other party not to get close.

Chu Xiangqian smiled and reached out to pat Mal's neck. A miraculous scene happened, and the horse became quiet again in an instant.

A group of people now really realized that Chu Xiangqian was definitely a master of horse training.

Not long after, the two neatly assembled horses were led into the track.When the two jockeys were called over, Chu Qianqian suddenly frowned.

After thinking for a moment, Chu Xiangqian realized that there seemed to be no Chinese jockeys or Chinese horse trainers in this era.

While cursing secretly in his heart, Chu Xiangqian also knew that everything was still related to economy and culture.

As the Chinese become rich, there will be more talents involved in this industry.

However, the really wealthy Chinese like to be horse owners, but they 100% disagree with their children becoming professional riders.

Those without money naturally have no access to horse racing. Even if Chinese horse boys are willing to learn, it is difficult for them to truly learn this knowledge from ghost guys.

Thinking of this, Chu Qianqian couldn't help but sigh. Fortunately, Zaohong Hanxue's results were pretty good.

As a 3-year-old horse that is on the track for the first time, 1600 minute and 1 seconds for 46 meters is pretty good.

A Gui Lao horse trainer in his 40s excitedly told Norton that if he trained seriously and found a suitable professional rider, he might be able to run under 1 minute and 40 seconds.

And this result is in Hong Kong Island, at least it can appear on the track to participate in the competition.

With luck, it is not difficult to get the ranking without any particularly strong competitors.

Chu Xiangqian knew that although the horses from Novice Village were of good quality, looking at the three dimensions, they were definitely not top-notch.

Otherwise, I would be stupid to sell two horses of blood to Norton for 10 pounds.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian himself did not know much about the market situation of horse racing and stallions, and he did not realize that the price difference between horses with excellent appearance would be so big.

With this experience, Chu Xiangqian will naturally not suffer any more in the future.

Norton and Margaret listened to the trainer's words, and since they had grown up watching horse racing, they naturally knew a lot about horse racing.

Secretly, 5 pounds can buy this horse, which is indeed a big profit.

Margaret looked at Chu Qianqian and asked, "Chu, are you sure you will sell these two horses to Norton for 10 pounds?"

Chu shrugged forward, "I do regret it, but I believe that in the long run, I will double the money I lost due to my mistakes in the future."

Margaret and Norton knew what Chu Xiangqian meant when they heard it.

As long as the horses he provides in the future can also go on the track, no matter what the results are, at least the price will increase a lot.

Just like this maroon horse, his current worth has risen to at least 6 to 7 pounds.

If the golden sweat horse can also achieve this result, the price will immediately soar to 10 or 12.

When Golden Sweat subsequently ran a time of 1:45, Norton excitedly waved his fist and roared.

Then he looked at Chu Qianqian excitedly and said, "Master, you are so great. When I go back, I will choose an oil painting to thank you."

Chu Xiangqian took the opportunity and said, "Then why don't you exchange all the 10 pounds of horse racing purchase fees for Chinese antiques and European and American oil paintings?"

Norton nodded without thinking, "No problem, I will help you find it after I return to London. And I will definitely give you a good painting."

Margaret looked at Chu Qianqian and Norton in surprise, then walked to Ward and asked a few words in a low voice.

When I heard that Chu Xiangqian liked Chinese antiques and Picasso's oil paintings, his eyes lit up.

He is indeed short of cash, but if he remembers correctly, there seem to be many Chinese antiques in the manor that his mother gave to him, which have been sealed in one of the underground warehouses.

Even though these antiques should not be very valuable, dozens or hundreds of them should be worth tens of thousands of pounds.

If he selects the best products and uses them in exchange with Chu, he will definitely not think about selling the blood-blooded horses he finds in the future to others.

If we take out the entire warehouse, let alone two horses, it shouldn't be difficult to get dozens or twenty horses.

"Chu, I would like to invite you to my manor on the outskirts of London as a guest when I have the opportunity. By the way, you can take a look at some of my collection of oriental antiques. Maybe we will have a lot to talk about."

Chu Xiangqian immediately became interested, and when he heard that Margaret actually had a whole warehouse of Chinese antiques.

I wish I could snatch them all back, but this thought is just a thought, but it does not prevent me from buying them back or exchanging them.

Regarding the exchange agreement with Margaret, Chu Xiangqian even thought about whether to wait for the new sweat-blooded horse to be refreshed in the game and take that horse to clear monsters and level up.

Then add points to the physique. In this way, even if the horse's speed does not increase, it can still perform extremely well in endurance races.

But this thought was only a few seconds before he was thrown into the sky.

For the secret passage, it would be great if you could increase it by 0.1 or 0.1 when adding points.

Just increase the endurance and speed by 0.2, and it will almost be a horse racing at the championship level.

After testing the two racehorses, Chu Xiangqian planned to say goodbye to Norton, but Margaret asked in a low voice, "Chu, when you taught Norton kung fu that day, were you deliberately rude and rude?"

Chu Qianqian's heart tightened, and he secretly wondered who might have revealed the news to the woman in front of him?

Or maybe she noticed something unusual afterwards and asked someone about her situation?
Thinking of this, Chu Qianqian immediately gave up the idea of ​​lying.

He smiled and said, "Sorry, there are some things that we have always forbidden outsiders to watch. If it is serious, stealing scholars will be held accountable extremely severely.

So I can only use that method to remind you to leave. "

Margaret secretly thought, it was exactly what she had guessed.

As for why she suspected it, it was because Norton often mentioned Chu Qianqian when he was in front of Margaret.

That situation cannot be overstated.

As long as Margaret is not stupid, she will know that with Norton's character, there is no reason to tolerate a rude and disrespectful person all the time.

After two tests, it was confirmed that Norton only respected and admired Chu Xiangqian as his master, without any complaints or dissatisfaction.

Only then did I roughly confirm my thoughts.

After asking just now, the truth came out from Chu Xiangqian's mouth.

Margaret was surprisingly not angry. The reason was simple. Norton's high regard for Chu Xiangqian also made Margaret curious about kung fu.

"Chu, can you also teach me some kung fu? If necessary, I can also become a disciple."

Chu shrugged forward, "The kung fu I learned is not suitable for women."

After saying that, he couldn't help but look at Zhang Tianzhi who had been staying behind him.

Zhang Tianzhi's expression changed, and he quickly shook his head, "Boss, I'd rather teach you Wing Chun than have anything to do with foreign women."

Chu Qianqian smiled and shook his head. He had seen a lot of the basic skills of Wing Chun on the Internet in his previous life.

It's just teaching a woman who has no foundation, so Zhang Tianzhi needs to teach himself first.

After thinking for a while, he said, "It's not impossible to learn kung fu, but you must first have enough perseverance, otherwise you'd better not waste everyone's time."

Margaret nodded. As a female aristocrat who has learned horse riding and painting since she was a child, she already understood the principle of perseverance in the process of learning to ride horses.

"How about I invite you to my temporary villa as a guest tomorrow morning and teach me kung fu?"

Chu Xiangqian was naturally fine, but after thinking about it, he shook his head and said, "Sorry, the movie I invested in and participated in tomorrow will only have the last scene left.

If everything goes as planned, it should only take two days to complete the shoot. "

When Margaret heard about the movie, she was as interested as Norton.

"Can I be invited to visit your set?"

After saying that, he continued as if he was afraid that Chu Xiangqian would refuse, "Don't worry, I won't disturb the filming."

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and wanted to establish a good relationship with Margaret, except for the most direct and effective relationship with her that has a positive and negative distance.

Just do what you like.

Not to mention just visiting the set, it's okay to shoot a short film just for her.

Chu pointed forward and said to Norton, "Norton has been staying on my set basically every day these days. If you want to go, you can stay with him."

Margaret's face brightened, and she secretly thought that the bastard Norton had something interesting to do, so he didn't call her.

I'll secretly tell you something good to look at soon.

After returning the two horses to the stable, Margaret, a party animal, would naturally not forget to use the excuse that she got a new blood horse and plan to celebrate in the evening.

Chu Xiangqian also wanted to take this opportunity to get to know a few more local dignitaries and rich people, so naturally he would not refuse.

At 6:[-] in the evening, Chu Qianqian, who had changed into a black suit, arrived outside a villa on the top of the mountain on time.

After showing the invitation and entering the villa, Norton, who had been paying attention to the door of the villa, saw him.

"Master, let me introduce to you, this is Mr. Harder from the Chief Secretary of State."

Chu Xiangqian smiled and shook hands with the other party.

Although Hader, the ghost guy, looked down on Chu Xiangqian, his attitude was very enthusiastic.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care what the ghost guy was thinking. If necessary in the future, Norton's relationship would only be a stepping stone.

In the end, money has to do the talking.

I got to know a dozen more ghost officials and local celebrities and wealthy businessmen.

Margaret was seen on the stairs of the second floor dressed in fine clothes.Now all eyes are on her.

Chu Qianqian pretended not to understand, pulled Norton and asked in a low voice, "Tell me honestly, who is Margaret?"

Norton stopped hiding it now 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 could only cooperate with her and hide it. "

After that, explain Margaret’s identity and why she suddenly came to Hong Kong Island.

Chu Qianqian pretended to suddenly realize it, then his face darkened and he said, "I agreed to teach Margaret Kung Fu.

If I got injured while practicing kung fu, would everyone in England hate me to death? "

But Norton shook his head, covered his mouth with his hand and whispered: "Master, if you can make Margaret have a sports fanatic's preference from the label of party animal, shopaholic, love maniac, etc., you will ensure that many people will Thank u."
