Chapter 1215 – Sagittarius
“Whether it’s true or not, let’s go and take a look together, Dr. Shu, maybe you’ll have to give up your position as the top horse of Hong Kong Island!”
Kwok Tai Hang smiled and joked with Shu Wen, knowing that Shu Wen was very famous in the Hong Kong and Macau horse racing industry, at the very least, the racehorses bred by them had never been able to take advantage of Shu Wen’s horse.
It should be known that as directors of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and horse lovers, these people would invest a sum of money in the racehorses they bred almost every year to buy famous horses from all over the world. It’s just that these people’s investment was not small, and sometimes they could get good rankings in the races, but they could never win against the horses bred by Shu Wen, which made a group of old men depressed as well.
“Guo Sheng, I’m not as good as you in this real estate, I’m not as good as Mr. Li in the industry, but when it comes to playing with horses, all of you are not as good as me, so it’s not good to be unconvinced.”
Shu Wen sniffed and laughed loudly, he and Superman Li and Tycoon Guo are old friends who have known each other for nearly half a century, there are not so many scruples between words, but he was much more polite when he spoke to Qin Xuan Bing’s grandfather.
“Go, go, go and see, Xiao Zhuang if this horse can win you, also give us an outlet.”
At this moment, where are these old men still in the same manner as when they reigned over the business world? Simply like a group of fighting children, looking at Zhuang Rui dumbfounded, he was thinking in his heart, even if he told what he saw today, I’m afraid no one would believe it, right?
Hearing that these leading figures of Hong Kong Island want to go to see the horses, the people who were chatting outside also gathered around, even including some women, we must know that in this place of Hong Kong, betting on horses does not distinguish between the rich and the poor.
A group of people clustered Zhuang Rui to the east side of the villa horse corridor, in order to not let the people in the villa to interfere with the horses raised in the past, Master Qin also specialize in this piece of enclosure, and left a small piece of open space, so that the horses can also be active.
When he walked in front of the horse porch, Shu Wen nodded and said, ”Elder brother Qin, this horse farm of yours is really good! I can see that you are also a horse lover.”
In the Hong Kong Mid-Levels Villa Area where every inch of land is worth a fortune, it is already not easy to set aside such a piece of land, of course, if you usually want to carry out activities such as taming and tempering horses, it is still necessary to go to a professional horse farm.
“Hehe, it’s been deserted for a few years now, that is, Xiao Rui brought his Chasing Wind here, and this horse gallery was only reused.”
Elder Qin’s mouth was modest, but his heart was quite self-satisfied, he had also been a guest in the homes of several of the people present, and their homes didn’t have a horse porch like his own.
The horse corridor was actually not big, and there were only two stables, but each one was built very spaciously, and there was a temperature-controlled air-conditioning system inside, which could regulate the temperature and humidity inside at any time. And there were also two cameras that could keep an eye on the horses 24 hours a day, in case the horses were unknowingly sick and could not be rescued in time.
During the Qin old man’s horse breeding, but also invited a special horse division and nutritionist, the horse a day to eat three rations and four forage, and sometimes add some carrots, apples, honey, eggs and cereal, alone racehorses a day’s food costs, it will take three or four hundred dollars.
It can be said that the monthly expenses of such two stables can match the expenses of many families in a year. Although Master Qin is usually very frugal, he does not feel the slightest pain in spending such money.
In fact, there are a lot of rich people in Hong Kong like Mr. Qin, especially those rich businessmen who started from nothing, often very frugal in food and clothing, but in their own hobbies is a throwaway, not even a frown.
For example, there is a super-rich man on Hong Kong Island who is particularly fond of sports. He usually has very low requirements for his family and his own life, and his meals and other things are not much different from those of ordinary people. But the amount of money this tycoon spends on sports programs is countless every year, and the annual cost of taking private jets all over the world to watch soccer matches alone is an astronomical amount.
“Lulu ……”
Suddenly seeing so many people crowded into the outside, the chasing wind inside the horse corridor was a bit uneasy, it hadn’t been tamed from the wild horse herd for a long time after all, and its vigilance towards strangers was still very high.
After hearing the horse’s neighing, Superman Li stopped at the entrance of the horse corridor and said, “Okay, you guys don’t come in, it’s not good to scare the horse.”
Although there is some dissatisfaction in his heart, but Superman Li gave the word, those young people still dare not disobey, it is Qin Haoran these second generation of the leading figures, also obediently stopped outside the horse corridor, of course, Zhuang Rui is not in the ranks of this.
Zhuang Rui snatched a few steps ahead, opened the stables and walked in, gently placating Chasing Wind with his hand and said, “This horse of mine was galloping on the prairie not long ago, and is a bit unaccustomed to being here.”
“Pfft ……”
After Chasing Wind saw Zhuang Rui, it quieted down, but a pair of eyes full of spirituality were still staring at the group of people on the horse corridor walkway.
“Good horse, what a good horse!”
“That’s right, look at the light golden color of this fur, it’s never been seen before!”
“Dr. Shu, you have a knack for matching horses, tell us how this horse is?”
I can only say that Chasing Wind’s selling looks are really too good, after these old men saw Chasing Wind, each of them showed a look of envy in their eyes, and they hated to replace Zhuang Rui, who was stroking Chasing Wind, with themselves.
“Really good, this horse’s coat is shiny, eyes are round and full of luster, ears are small and pointed and turn flexibly, head bones are clearly defined, neck is high and straight, limbs are strong and solid, it’s really a rare and good horse!”
Dr. Shu Wen really lived up to his title of Bole, after sizing up Chasing Wind, he uttered quite a few terms of horse-reading, listening to Zhuang Rui was fascinated, dare to look at the horse and there are so many paths ah?
In addition to Shu Wen, although other people can see that this horse is divine, but they can not say whether it is good or bad, so Guo Daheng spoke up and asked, “Shu Wen old brother, do you think this horse is good, or that British thoroughbred horse you recently bought is more powerful?”
“I’ll take a look first. ……”
Shu Wen walked to the side of the stable and observed, in the middle, he also signaled Zhuang Rui to break open the horse’s mouth, letting him look at the teeth, and after a while, he opened his mouth and said, “This horse was captured on the prairie, and may still have good endurance, but used as a speed racehorse, it’s still my English Thoroughbred that’s a little bit more powerful.”
Although Shu Wen was looking at his eyes, he was not optimistic about Zhuang Rui’s horse, because horse racing was different from general horses, and thoroughbred horses had a great advantage.
The so-called Thoroughbred, specifically refers to a breed of horse whose ancestry can be traced back to three ancestral stallions that were transported from the Mediterranean Sea and the Middle East to England in the 17th century to mate with the stronger, but late-maturing English local breeds of horses.
The result of the mating was the birth of a new breed of horse, the Thoroughbred, and the birth of a new type of sport: horse racing. It can be said that the world of horse racing is driven by the Thoroughbred.
And the physical appearance of the Thoroughbred, the best performance of the typical characteristics of fast horses, highly sensitive and flexible nervous system, extremely fast reaction and not manic, surprisingly, the Thoroughbred tendon and the same diameter of the copper wire tensile strength is almost similar, or even more than that.
After hundreds of years of breeding, it can be said that all the tissues, organs, systems and even body fluids, endocrine and other biochemical reaction types of the Thoroughbred horse, are generated specifically for speed.
To know, now the world race horse running speed, all are artificially bred out of the thoroughbred horse to create, have not heard of a wild horse in the international races to win the thoroughbred horse rumors.
So although Zhuang Rui’s sweatblood horse is tall and even more outstanding than some thoroughbreds, Shu Wen is still optimistic about the British thoroughbred racehorse that he spent 30 million dollars to purchase.
It is important to know that a racehorse is good or bad, but also after a systematic training, this training often from the horse’s infancy to start, in the maximum degree of stimulation of the horse’s explosive force, so that it can in the shortest possible time, the speed to the limit.
Shu Wen observed from the horse’s mouth that Zhuang Rui’s horse should be around three years old, although it was not yet fully adult, it had already passed the best time for training, and judging by his experience, it was impossible to win his professional racehorse in a short-range speed racehorse.
“Alas, I originally thought I could find a horse to win you once!”
After hearing Shu Wen’s analysis, Guo Daheng, who had a horse racing feud with Shu Wen, sighed.
“Oh, you still have a chance well, but …… this horse can not, even if it is too late to teach.”
Shu Wen is still very optimistic about Zhuang Rui’s horse, but unfortunately, the horse has lost the best time to be tuned into a racehorse, if it is trained from a young age, perhaps there is still a chance to win him.
“Ruler ……”
Seems to have understood Shu Wen’s words of evaluating himself, Chasing Wind was very indignant and hissed long at Shu Wen, horses are the proudest of all animals, if Chasing Wind could speak, it is estimated that this would have opened up a curse.
Not only is the chasing wind to Shu Wen words feel dissatisfied, even Zhuang Rui can not hold back, underestimated buddy does not matter, but underestimated Zhuang Rui’s partner, this is Zhuang Rui absolutely can not tolerate.
No longer care about the previous idea of low profile, patted the chasing wind’s neck to let it quiet down, Zhuang Rui spoke out and said: “Dr. Shu, this thing is not absolute, right? The survival environment of wild horses is harsh, and there are many natural enemies, I think it is in this situation that a horse’s potential can be stimulated. I believe that …… Chasing the Wind will not lose to any horse in the world, no matter if it’s in a short-range speed race or a long-distance race.”
Dr. Shu Wen froze for a moment at his words, he was only judging based on his own experience and didn’t say anything overly aggressive, but he didn’t expect Zhuang Rui’s reaction to be so great?
