Chapter 8

Gu Shizhang then took Ye Tianhui to the stable. After entering the stable, Ye Tianhui looked carefully and found that the stable was more meticulously managed.

The pure wooden stable had wide and bright glass windows. Sunlight poured in through the gaps between branches and leaves. High-quality hay was neatly stacked on the wooden partition frame. A strong horse was eating grass quietly with its head lowered.

There was no smell of horse manure that was common in stables in the air. Instead, there was a dry and mellow smell of hay - this was the smell from Gu Shizhang's hand just now.

Everything here was quiet and simple, like a still life sketch in a Western oil painting.

Gu Shizhang picked up a handful of dry grass beside him and fed it to the horse, then said to Ye Tianhui with a smile, "Which stable do you work in?"

Ye Tianhui: "I've just been here a few days. I'm temporarily assigned to stable number seven, responsible for feeding four horses."

She had just passed by so many stables, so she naturally remembered some of them, and was confident that Gu Shizhang would not find out.

She looked at the stable curiously: "Why is the stable here different from our No. 7 stable? The equipment here is obviously better, the environment is better, and the horses here are fed more carefully."

Gu Shizhang said: "You are new when you say that. Didn't your boss tell you about the management model of the racehorses and stables here?"

He raised his eyes, looked at her with his dark eyes, and smiled: "Normally, you will get a job bonus on the first day of work. Manual, there should be this information on it, right?"

Ye Tianhui suppressed any emotional fluctuations: "Is there a manual? I don't know. When I joined the company, I was given a bag, but I didn't see any manual!"

She then explained: "My English is not very good, and I feel overwhelmed when I see those things, so I didn't read them carefully."

Her words were definitely flexible. Who knows if this man was deliberately setting a trap for her? Who knows if there is a manual or not?

Seeing this, Gu Shizhang laughed and said, "It seems that you are really careless. You didn't even see the manual."

Then he explained, "There are more than 700 active racehorses in the Happy Valley Jockey Club. These horses are not all owned by the Jockey Club. They belong to different owners. It's just that these owners hand over the horses to the Hong Kong Jockey Club for unified management. The Jockey Club provides stables of different grades. If the owner is particularly particular about his horses, he can also apply to build a stable on his own and hire someone to maintain it."

Ye Tianhui: "That means the owners of these horses are rich, so they opened private rooms for their horses."

Private room...

Gu Shizhang's eyes were filled with more smiles, and he said in agreement, "That makes sense, private room. In fact, in recent years, several other private racecourses have been built in Hong Kong, such as the Benteng Racecourse. Now is the time for Happy Valley Racecourse to compete for customers, and the competition among racecourses in Hong Kong is fierce, so all major racecourses have also introduced new products. "

Ye Tianhui looked at the stable: "This must be newly built, it must be very expensive."

Gu Shizhang looked around the stable, obviously very satisfied: "This stable is said to be designed by a world-renowned designer. Look at the skylight and double-layer glass here, which can provide more uniform natural light for the horses. The facilities here are very complete, and a shower room and a saddle room have been built."

Ye Tianhui looked at it curiously. Sure enough, all kinds of equipment were complete, and it looked very fashionable and modern at first glance.

As he talked, he led her forward, through a wooden corridor, and came to a stable. In the stable was a brown horse with a well-proportioned body and a beautiful head. When you look closely, you can see that it has a broad chest, a short back, and short legs. If such a horse runs, its steps will be very brisk and have strong explosive power.

This is obviously a rare good horse.

Gu Shizhang reached out his hand and touched the horse's mane with compassion, and asked with a smile: "This is the light, what do you think?"

Ye Tianhui's heart paused.

Although Gu Shizhang in front of him was only wearing a simple shirt and jeans, he looked so noble when he stood beside the horse and talked with a smile.

A picture even emerged in her mind: the emperor in casual clothes standing next to the newly acquired horse in the stable.

She held her breath and looked at the thick black short hair behind his head: "Lucis Wing?"

Gu Shizhang: "Yes, this is the Chinese name of the horse, I gave it that name."

He turned his head to look at her and smiled: "But it also has an English name, Lucis's Wing. Lucis means light in Latin, and its name means the wings of light."

Ye Tianhui said calmly: "Then what?"

Gu Shizhang: "It was originally a speed racehorse, and later received obstacle race training, with excellent results. It once won the championship in the British Royal Jumping Championship. However, when it was six years old, its leg was injured and was diagnosed with an irreparable ligament rupture."

After hearing this, Ye Tianhui looked at the horse's leg. The horse had a perfect body shape and stood there quietly and tamely, with no signs of leg injury.

Gu Shizhang: "At the Liverpool Racecourse in England, it was injured in the leg and was about to be euthanized by its owner, so someone bought it at a low price and took it to the beach for training. Its injury gradually improved in the sea water, and then it was taken to Hong Kong. It is currently undergoing recovery training. If possible, maybe it will participate in the competition this season."

He narrated calmly, but Ye Tianhui frowned repeatedly.

She looked at the sunlight in front of her, the sunlight sprinkled on its back, it looked peaceful and basking in a golden light, this is a horse living in a superior stable, basking in the sun and enjoying hay, at first glance it looks like a good time.

Who could have thought that it had galloped on the battlefield, and who could have thought that it was almost betrayed and abandoned.

She squatted down slightly and looked straight into the horse's eyes.

She thought that this was a horse that had escaped death.

She looked at the horse and asked, "Is it expensive to catch the light?"

Gu Shizhang looked at her with his eyes downcast.

The stable was filled with bright light, and she squatted in front of the manger, her back thin and straight, her black hair falling softly on her back, her expression focused and sad.

She tentatively reached out her hand to touch the horse, and the skin on her fingertips showed a warm halo under the sunlight.

Gu Shizhang was silent for a moment before saying, "Very expensive."

Ye Tianhui: "Oh, how expensive?"

However, Gu Shizhang did not answer.

Just when Ye Tianhui was about to look back in confusion, Gu Shizhang finally explained: "The horses in the Jockey Club are all professional racehorses. Generally speaking, they are purebred famous horses introduced from all over the world, and their value is more than one million Hong Kong dollars. In addition to the purchase cost, the horse owner must pay the Jockey Club for professional feeding fees, training fees, venue fees, and other possible expenses to improve the life of the racehorse. If you want to improve the training of the racehorse, you can also hire a higher-level trainer, and the price will be higher."

Ye Tianhui understood: "Ordinary citizens outside can Betting on horse racing is entertainment and a matter of luck. Rich people buy and raise horses, let them compete in races, and make a profit from it. If you have a good vision and good luck, you can make a lot of money by raising horses. "

Gu Shizhang nodded in agreement: "You hit the nail on the head."

He added: "But those rich people raise horses not only to get a certain return, but also to connect with their social circles."

Ye Tianhui nodded: "I roughly understand."

Entering the class and playing with the fashion of that class, for the top rich people, playing with horses is not only playing with horses, but also a social tool.

It seems that she still has a long way to go if she wants to buy her Chiyan.

Gu Shizhang smiled and looked at the horse in front of him: "Miss Ye, you have been at the horse farm for two days. Do you think any horse is particularly good?"

Ye Tianhui stood up and said: "No, there is nothing special. Except for this horse, they are all about the same."

Gu Shizhang tilted his head and looked at her for a long time: "Oh."
