Zhang Long has experienced all the hardships of life, gaining nothing but injuries and illnesses. He felt that his greatest contribution to society was not becoming a criminal.
From childhood...
Zhang Long has been unusually busy lately, rarely coming to the company.
Fortunately, with Yangmei's help, they quickly figured out the pile of documents in front of them.
He quickly scribbled his name on the documents that needed to be signed, and then slipped away!
He kept this trip a secret from Hu Xinxin, planning to give her a big surprise!
He drove briskly straight to the equestrian club where he had been last time.
It was the same manager, Li Hong, who greeted him last time, and the two chatted and laughed all the way.
Well, it was mainly Zhang Long listening and Li Hong talking, and they were chatting and laughing quite a bit, so there's nothing wrong with that!
We arrived at Boss Cai's office in no time.
"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Cai has been waiting for you inside for quite some time, so I won't disturb your conversation any longer."
As he spoke, Li Hong opened the door for him.
"Mr. Cai, it's been a long time!"
"Mr. Zhang..."
After exchanging a few pleasantries, Zhang Long got straight to the point: "President Cai, you should know why I'm here. I want to buy a few horses through your channels."
"Haha, Mr. Zhang, it's no big deal. I opened this club to provide some convenience for friends with similar interests."
"I just wonder, Mr. Zhang, do you have any specific goals for this trip?"
"Or would you like me to recommend something to you?"
Mr. Cai readily agreed.
Just as he said, he built this club not to make money at all, but purely out of love for it!
The annual membership fee for a regular club member is 200,000 yuan, which is barely enough to cover the club's operating costs.
Otherwise, do you think taking care of these precious darlings worth hundreds of thousands or millions is as simple as raising ordinary cattle and horses?
"Haha, I don't have anything I particularly like. The ones in your stables last time were pretty good, so I'll go with your standards."
Mr. Cai raised an eyebrow. He didn't actually know Zhang Long; he only knew that Zhang Long was a friend of Secretary Hu's beloved daughter.
He himself mainly does import and export trade, and doesn't really know much about Zhang Long, this eccentric guy who doesn't like to attend parties of the rich.
These established businessmen aren't interested in the internet, so this is quite a coincidence.
After thinking for a moment, Mr. Cai took out two tablets and handed one to Zhang Long.
"Mr. Zhang, there's a horse auction going on overseas recently. Here are some of the items up for auction. Take a look."
"If you see one you like, write down its number. We'll use our club's channels to bid on it, and the company will ship it back to China for you."
Zhang Long took the tablet and flipped through it casually.
As a result, I was immediately drawn to the horse in the fifth video.
The horse was dirty, but that couldn't hide its magnificent appearance.
Its metallic color, which looked somewhat like red copper, particularly caught Zhang Long's eye.
He had only one thought in his mind right now: Buy it! Buy it!
So without hesitation, he marked the little guy.
Why is it called "little guy"?
It's only about a year old, but this little guy is really something else!
It has already been resold twice. As a thoroughbred Akhal-Teke, it was worth as much as 2 million US dollars in the first transaction!
However, this little guy has an exceptionally bad temper and is impossible to discipline; he has already injured several equestrian trainers.
Look, its starting bid was only $100,000, which tells you how impressive its track record is.
Next, he selected twelve more horses, all around one year old, including Arabian horses, Dutch Warmbloods, Thoroughbreds, and Andalusian horses, with each breed consisting of one male and two females.
Then he returned the tablet to Boss Cai.
Seeing that Zhang Long had made his selection, Boss Cai was also very curious and wanted to see what kind of horses he had chosen.
The first one surprised him. This young Akhal-Teke horse was famous, its track record was well-known in the breeding world, and it was recognized as a second-class horse.
No matter how noble your bloodline, if you are disobedient and cannot be tamed, you will only be an ordinary horse.
Seeing that Zhang Long had chosen it, Boss Cai felt he still had to try to persuade him.
"Mr. Zhang, how about we skip the first one? This horse is a substandard one and can't be tamed at all."
"It has already had two owners, and those famous horse trainers, big and small, have no way to handle it."
"How about we change our target?"
But Zhang Long was determined to buy it. He didn't care at all. If he couldn't tame it, then so be it. It would be nice to have such a beautiful horse in the ranch to please the eye.
"Mr. Cai, you can rest assured and film. I have a ranch on Chongming Island, enough for this little guy to run around freely. It doesn't matter whether he's tamed or not."
As the saying goes, "A treasure is worth more than a thousand pieces of gold."
"The moment I saw this little cutie, I couldn't wait to buy it!"
Zhang Long's words made Boss Cai think for a moment, and then he nodded.
After looking at all the horses that Zhang Long had selected, he estimated in his mind: "The auction will be held in a week, on December 9th."
"Mr. Zhang, you need to prepare 20 million yuan and transfer it to the club's corporate account before this time."
"We will definitely do our best to help you, Mr. Zhang, acquire these horses."
"You don't need to worry about anything after that; the club will take care of everything for you."
Hearing what Boss Cai said, Zhang Long smiled happily.
