Rural life in America

Chapter 364 Choices
Barney brought the horse owner to the ranch. It was about to start the acquisition of racing horses. This was a big deal.

The big bald Jason and the horse trainer he brought watched the horse race for a while, and they were basically satisfied; it could be seen that this half-sized colt did have potential and performed very well.

Professional matters are left to professionals. Jason, who is an investor on Wall Street, now wants to chat with Zhang Hao.

"I've heard a lot of stories about you. Many people now think that you are the most successful horse racing expert." Jason is telling the truth. Zhang Hao is well-known in the horse racing circle. "This horse looks very good. Great, if nothing else, my mates and I would pay a fortune for it."

Zhang Hao was very happy, and said with a smile, "This will be a great investment, and it has the strength to win the prize money in the Triple Crown."

Jason was a little curious, although he wanted to become a horse owner; but like many rich people, horse racing was regarded as a hobby, and they might not know much about these things.

"I heard a lot of people say that your racecourse has produced a lot of good racehorses, and they can basically go to the first-level competition." Jason was very concerned about this, and asked seriously, "Is that so? Will it be better than those racehorses?"

Zhang Hao was not embarrassed, and said directly, "My racecourse has indeed produced many good racehorses, but I can guarantee that this racehorse will be the best one, at least so far. The best one."

In the past few years, Zhang Hao always asked Barney and Phil to find some potential racehorses. Many racehorses just tapped out their potential and then sold them, basically to earn a 'training fee'.But if you really want to say that there are particularly potential racehorses, Zhang Hao has been patiently cultivating them, and they are really pitifully few.

Jason was called over by the horse trainer and others he brought, and Barney ran over; he quietly gestured to Zhang Hao, basically there was no problem.

"Hao, congratulations, you are going to make a lot of money!"

Zhang Hao also smiled, "It's the same for you, this time you will also get a good commission."

Barney immediately laughed. This racehorse belongs to Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao has been training it all along. This is not a short-term training horse. Barney has no shares.Although Zhang Hao made a huge sum of money, Barney would also get a good commission, which was even higher than many people's annual salary.

After getting married and starting a business, Barney will naturally become more mature and sensible, and making money now is not a waste of time.Although many families in the United States do not have the habit of saving money, most of them are people with relatively average incomes. Another thing is that the U.S. economy has not been particularly prosperous in recent years, and many families are also under financial pressure.

Being able to earn and save more money is a very important thing for more and more American families.

Although he failed to sign the purchase contract immediately, Zhang Hao is not in a hurry at this moment; the wine is not afraid of deep alleys, and he has excellent racehorses in his hand. The Lord flocks to it.

Back home, Christina, who was teaching the little wolf to walk, said, "Professor Sean called, you go and call him back, he has something to ask you."

Zhang Hao said oh, Professor Xiao En was the guide who brought Zhang Hao into the circle of zoologists; if it wasn't for Professor Xiao En, Zhang Hao would have to work hard to be recognized by the academic circle.Also because he helped Zhang Hao introduce some funds, Zhang Hao did a lot of things that he liked and was interested in.

The money that should be paid is definitely indispensable, but at least Zhang Hao can now choose the projects he likes; if he pays taxes directly, he is a taxpayer.But with some charitable funds, Zhang Hao can still get a good reputation, including many animal protection organizations and research projects that can open some doors for Zhang Hao.

Although some unpleasant things happened between Zhang Hao and Professor Xiao En at the beginning of their acquaintance, they have been forgotten for a long time now; the two cannot be said to be old friends, but they can definitely be regarded as happy partners.

"Professor, is there anything you want from me? Could it be about gray wolves again? I don't have much interest in the study of gray wolves now, unless it's a very special project."

Zhang Hao was not polite to the point, and Professor Xiao En was not too cloudy, "That's right, I heard that there is a brown bear next to your ranch, and it has a very good relationship with you, is that true?"

There is nothing to hide, Zhang Hao said, "Yes, there is such a bear. But professor, it has nothing to do with me. This is a very smart bear, and I don't think it has much research value." .”

Professor Xiao En interrupted Zhang Hao and continued, "I'm not an expert on bears, and I'm not interested in bears. I just heard about this, and I know that no matter how smart the bear is, there needs to be someone who understands it well." Bear people, people who really understand bears, or they will be the next Trilweed."

Zhang Hao laughed, he still knew the story of Trilweed; he was originally a troublesome person, but after entering Alaska, he became an observer with grizzly bears all the year round, and he would go to Alaska to observe for five consecutive years Bear.

But in the end, he was eaten by a bear, and even his girlfriend lost her life.

Although many people are moved by his story and feel that he is an animal protector, etc., they will also sympathize with and admire him.But among some zoologists, they don't think highly of Trilweed.

Although Trillweed has captured many precious pictures and captured the actions of brown bears; however, he is not professional and cautious enough, and even such unprofessional behavior will make some people think that they can really get in touch with bears at close range.As a result, tragedy was caused. They were attacked by a brown bear, Trilweed screamed miserably, and his girlfriend lost her life.

This seems like a tragic hero, but the reality is very cruel.

Zhang Hao was patiently listening to what Professor Xiao En said, and he probably understood; an expert in bear science knew about Zhang Hao, and Zhang Hao seemed to understand bears very well, so he wanted to invite Zhang Hao to participate in a certain project Research.

Zhang Hao said that he needed to think about it, and went to Alaska to observe the Kodiak Island brown bear, the largest of all brown bears.Zhang Hao was indeed very interested, but he was a little hesitant; although Professor Xiao En said that he would not have close contact with bears without protection like Trillweed, an aspiring wildlife conservationist, he did say that he would take care of his safety.

But Zhang Hao still felt a little hesitant, because this is a long-term observation plan, this is not a visit for a week or two, it is a visit for several months, this is something that makes Zhang Hao quite embarrassed.

He is indeed interested in this matter, and there is not much danger under the premise of ensuring safety.However, after going there for a few months, I can’t take it anymore; so even Professor Xiao En seems to be encouraging, but Zhang Hao still doesn’t want to go, he still wants to stay at home more, he can’t let go of his wife and children, it’s also because of his Industry needs to watch.

The identity of a zoologist is just a hobby of Zhang Hao, not a job, so it is still necessary to distinguish between priorities; it is okay to be interested, but it is still not possible to delay serious work because of hobbies.

Zhang Hao, who walked out of the study, saw Christina bending over to help the little wolf learn to walk, and the hesitation in his heart disappeared immediately.

Walk over and take Christina's job, so she can relax; toddlers need good guidance and protection, although there are indeed walkers or toddler belts at home, but these things are not particularly liked by the little wolf.

Most of them are still tossing the adults, and they are willing to walk only when they bend over, and every time someone supports them, the little guy will walk very happily, and the little fat legs will walk very fast.

It's tiring, at least for adults, it's really easy to bend over all the time.

"Professor Sean probably wanted me to observe bears, but I refused. It's okay to go to Alaska for a few days, but this time I will go for several months. Although I am a little interested, my ranch cannot be separated. I."

Christina was trotting in front, interacting with the little wolf, and was very happy to see the fat son laughing childishly and chasing after him with his short legs.

Of course, I am also very happy with Zhang Hao's choice, "That would be great, if you go to spend the whole day with Xiong, I can guarantee that our son will not call Dad when he sees you again."

The little wolf is learning to walk hard, and Zhang Hao always feels that the fat son is not paying attention to learning to walk; this little guy really doesn't need to bother at all, he doesn't care at all, he doesn't need to worry about falling, and he doesn't care whether he is stepped on or not. In fact, anyway, he kept swinging his short legs and running forward.

It's really hard, just keep bending over to hug the little guy, you really need to have a good waist, otherwise you really can't stand it.

"Little wolf, come to mother, mother is here."

The little wolf smiled childishly. Although his father supported him, the little guy didn't care about his father at all; he opened his little hands and wanted to run to his mother, but now he only had his mother in his eyes.

After learning to walk for a while with the energetic little guy, Zhang Hao and Christina hugged the little guy and sat on the carpet; the little wolf stood unsteadily, no matter how much his parents encouraged him, the little guy refused to walk. Take the first step, he is responsible for standing and laughing silly
Zhang Hao and Christina sighed, the little wolf could stand up a long time ago, and his little arms and legs are also very strong; it's just that this little guy seems to be willing to tease his parents, he seems to enjoy seeing them He looks anxious, but he is determined not to walk anyway.
Not only do they not walk, no matter how they are guided and educated, the little guy does not learn to shout; when he sees Luobo and them, he is immediately happy not only howling wolves and barking dogs, but also the little animals he knows. It is a model that can be learned.
