Rural life in America

Chapter 107 New Year, New Motivation
He hadn't worn a tie for a long time, so when Christina was helping to tie the tie, Zhang Hao tried his best to stretch his neck; the reason, of course, was that he felt uncomfortable with something tied around his neck.

Christina patted Zhang Hao and continued to help Zhang Hao choose a suit. She couldn't understand Zhang Hao's strange appearance.

Obviously they came to pick up Barney and Phil, but Christina took Zhang Hao out early with great interest; she said it was to pick up the airport, but she took Zhang Hao to the mall to buy clothes under pretext, and even looked at a few suits After that, I was extremely dissatisfied and said that I would go to a tailor to order it.

Two guys, Phil and Barney, came, and Zhang Hao remained speechless.

Phil continued to maintain his style of nouveau riche, and he still wore a fur coat, which was short of 'dude has money' written on his face.The bastard Barney needs to be criticized even more, because this guy has a business image and the attire of a successful person; Zhang Hao was criticized by his family just two days ago, and Barney is a comparison to Zhang Hao.

Because Zhang Hao was very speechless about the outfits of these two bad friends, Zhang Hao became even more angry, "Why do you come to the ranch? You can choose to stay in Los Angeles. It’s so lively on New Year’s Day. If you can’t go to New York, go to Times Square and the crazy The crowd spends New Years Eve together.”

Barney got into the car carelessly, and said impatiently, "Phil and I need to hide for a few days. We originally wanted to go to Miami, but we've already been there and lost interest."

Zhang Hao asked a little strangely, "Why are you hiding? Did you offend someone you shouldn't, or you owe a lot of money. It shouldn't be, you should be quite rich."

Phil laughed and said triumphantly, "Of course it's because we want some peace and quiet now, who made us new stars in the industry now. You rarely care about the studio, but Barney and I always get Invitations, lots of people harassing us, we need to be at the ranch for a few days, especially at this time."

Seeing Phil and Barney's complacent looks, Zhang Hao also laughed.

Zhang Hao really doesn't care much about the studio, but that doesn't mean Zhang Hao doesn't care about the studio at all.This studio can bring Zhang Hao an income of about [-] U.S. dollars every month. Although such an income is only a gross income, he still needs to make additional investment or pay information fees, but what can be guaranteed to enter the account every month is Not less than $[-].

Barney and Phil are naturally stars in the industry, because they are the ones who contact horse owners or place bets, and they are more in front of the stage.So a lot of people know about them, and sometimes people who want a piece of the action harass them.

Zhang Hao, who was driving the car, said, "We have done a good job in the past six months, and now we have a relatively comprehensive information reserve. But I still feel dissatisfied, and I want to get more comprehensive information."

Don't look at Phil as a nouveau riche, he really doesn't have any education, but he still has some business acumen.

"Of course, although we have paid a lot of dollars for such data collection, we have gained a lot now. You know, some horse owners or riders want to buy information from us now, and we already have a certain You have the qualifications to become a horse racing agent."

Zhang Hao was taken aback for a moment, but soon realized that this was normal.

Because the studio has a lot of information on horse racing, riders and horse owners, which are constantly collected and updated; under such circumstances, it will naturally know which horse owners want to change riders, and naturally know which riders' status and strength outstanding.

This is indeed a good business, but Zhang Hao was a little hesitant, "If we become brokers, will it affect our horse racing betting?"

Barney, with his legs crossed, replied, "It doesn't matter if we are just an intermediary. Although the income of the broker will be very good, we don't have enough resources. The most important thing is that we don't have enough motivation now. Horse racing will bring us more money." To generate more income, we are well aware of that."

Zhang Hao is relieved, although there are not too many restrictions on such things as betting; but if there are riders and horse racing under the flag, then you need to pay attention, because if you are not careful, you will be accused of manipulating the game, cheating, etc. , that would definitely be of no benefit to Zhang Hao and the others.

Not to mention that Zhang Hao is very careful about becoming a horse racing agent, Barney and Phil are even more afraid to cross the line; because their main income now is horse racing, and they continue to collect information and analyze riders because they don't want to miss in horse racing.

Christina was sitting in the co-pilot, and she suddenly asked, "I remember that I was the studio's legal counsel, but I have never been working. Is this the reason why I didn't get a dividend?"

Zhang Hao, who was driving, nodded and said, "Yes, our studio counts you as four full-time employees, but our share ratio is very primitive and rough. You can say that it is distributed according to work, or it can be said that it is distributed according to funds. Profit. Obviously, you are not working yet, so there is no income."

I made a lot of money, and my good buddies are also very well-off. Of course Zhang Hao is very happy.

It’s just that when I’m happy, I also feel more looking forward to it. Now I’m earning a lot, compared to before, it’s called one earth and one sky.But Zhang Hao's heart is also slowly growing. In the past, two to three thousand dollars a month was enough to live a tight life, but now it seems that one hundred thousand dollars a month is not enough.

So inevitably, Zhang Hao definitely wants to open up new businesses.

Xixi is very happy because both Uncle Barney and Uncle Phil are here; when she was a child, Xixi sometimes disliked Barney and Phil, but that was not rejection, it was just because these two uncles always teased her, Xixi still Knowing that the two uncles are cute.

Although there was no gift, Xixi did not forget to act like a baby.

The triumphant Zhang Hao now ground two cups of coffee and practiced with Barney and Phil; unfortunately, this was winking at the blind man, and Barney didn't care after taking a sip.Phil, this guy is a cow chewing peony, he quickly poured this cup of coffee into it, probably he didn't even tell whether it was freshly ground or instant!

These two guys also have no taste, let alone taste!

Although the two brothers came to the ranch to rest and seek peace, Zhang Hao would not let them go, and they would still talk about what should be talked about, especially business matters.

"How about getting you guys to connect me with businesses? Right now I don't have any business at all other than a couple of businesses that want me to go to Soma, which makes me very dissatisfied. You know I want to build a new house, and I have Big funding gap!"

Barney is also rare serious, "Hao, your main achievement now is in horse-hunting, so many rich people are willing to spend a sum of money for you to help horse-hunting, although your fees make them very dissatisfied. But if You want to participate in treatment and breeding, I have great confidence in you, but you really have no achievements in this area, they will not take risks."

Phil also said, "Yeah, those guys are very realistic. I don't think those guys will agree to your terms until your super pony is born. I won't persuade you to lower the fee, our fee It can only get higher and higher!"

Depressed is a little depressed, but Zhang Hao also knows that some things cannot be rushed; he has indeed proved himself in the field of horse racing, and now he has become the most discerning master of horses.

It's just that in the eyes of many people, it means that there is a specialization in the art industry, and Zhang Hao doesn't necessarily know how to breed horses.

Wanting to prove himself, Zhang Hao is waiting for the birth of his super pony; let alone the field of horse racing, Zhang Hao will also enter the equestrian competition and the riding horse market, and Zhang Hao must report it at that time hatred.

Just wait, next year will come to an end, and then I will be able to 'become famous' again.

After chatting about business for a while, Barney got into the kitchen; he came out quickly shaking his head, not at all interested in the braised beef, it was too greasy.

Zhang Hao didn't care about Barney's appetite at all, as long as Christina didn't resist it; of course, Christina didn't fully adapt to it now, but fortunately, some dishes were quite appetizing.

The little girl Xixi dragged a small rug to the door with a bitter face. It was fine if the snow didn't get bigger, and it stopped.It's all right now, it's wet and muddy outside, so naturally don't want to go out to play.

Sitting at the door, she still has a task, which is to prevent the white lion and white tiger from going out to play; if these two guys run out to play, they will be dirty immediately.Xixi likes to be clean sometimes, she doesn't want to see her little friend wet and dirty.

The cute little door god did a good job, because of the little girl's excellent work ability, Zhang Hao can save a lot of worry, and don't need to worry about the dirty white lions and white tigers.Even if they are often bathed, I don't want to bathe them every day, not to mention that once these guys get muddy outside, the house will definitely become dirty.

The New Year's Eve may be very lively in the city, but it will definitely not be so lively on the ranch; in fact, New Year's Day is also very embarrassing, and most people in China think that the New Year must be the Spring Festival.As for the United States, New Year's Day is naturally considered to be a new year, but compared with Thanksgiving and Christmas, New Year's Day is not particularly valued.

Of course, when relatives and friends get together again, the atmosphere is quite warm; I don't care too much about etiquette, just how comfortable I am.

Zhang Hao can hold his big bowl and eat heartily, and the little girl Xixi can feed half a spoon into her mouth with a small spoon and drain half a spoon.

As for the topic of chatting, it is to talk about whatever comes to mind, and how to be happy; there is no hypocrisy, no politeness, so the atmosphere is quite warm.

Zhang Hao said boldly, "It's a new year anyway, so I set a small goal."

After attracting the attention of everyone except Xixi, Zhang Hao said confidently, "In the new year, our horse racing studio business will at least double! Our ranch output will also double! It’s all false, in the new year I’m going to earn money for our new house and yacht, and we’re going to go swimming in the lake in the summer, it won’t be a small wooden boat anymore!”

Hearing Zhang Hao's lofty ambitions, it seems too greedy at first, but after thinking about it carefully, it seems that it is really possible to do it!
