Chapter 9
Ye Tianhui concealed her thoughts. She certainly wouldn’t mention Chiyan to this person.
Buying a horse would definitely cost a lot of money. She hoped to buy it at a lower price. If she wanted to buy it, she had to conceal her purpose.
The man in front of her was unknown, so she was on guard. More importantly, he looked too much like a saint.
Chiyan was a precious horse given to her by a saint. She didn’t want to expose Chiyan in front of Gu Shizhang, as it would feel like she was exposing herself.
She ignored the topic and looked at the horse: “The light is really good. How much is this horse?”
Gu Shizhang: “This horse is more expensive than ordinary ones. When it didn’t have a leg injury, it was worth 40 million US dollars.”
Ye Tianhui was a little surprised: “40 million?”
She certainly knew that US dollars were different from Hong Kong dollars, and US dollars were more valuable.
But 40 million US dollars?
Gu Shizhang nodded affirmatively: "Even after its leg was injured, it is still worth 16 million US dollars."
Ye Tianhui: "..."
Her eyes swept over the stable again. The expensive stable was fully equipped and even the ceiling glass was double-layered.
No wonder their living conditions are so good.
If someone like her were to be weighed and sold, she would not be able to sell a value of 16 million US dollars even if she sold a hundred of them.
Thinking of this, she suddenly understood why the horses in the horse farm were not allowed to be viewed casually. This was a business secret, and this was the winning magic weapon of the racecourse in the future.
Gu Shizhang raised his hand and stroked the horse's neck gently. The horse was docile and rubbed its head against his arm.
He smiled and said, "Chaoguang is a purebred horse from England. Given its brilliant history, its price is naturally high."
Ye Tianhui listened and looked at Chaoguang again.
She didn't know what British was. The horse classics she had read mentioned purebred horses from England, but she had never seen one and didn't know how good it was. Now she saw that it was indeed a good horse.
Gu Shizhang: "The origin of the British pure-blood horse can be traced back to the Arabian horse and the Barb horse 1,600 years ago. This kind of horse has a long stride and fast feet. It is fast and hard-working, and has strong explosive power. It can be said that it is a horse born for racing and is the fastest horse in the world."
Ye Tianhui was curious: "How fast?"
Gu Shizhang: "The highest world record for pure-blood horses is 1,000 meters and 53.7 seconds. Even compared with cars, it is not inferior."
Ye Tianhui silently calculated: "That's really a thousand miles a day."
Her Chiyan is naturally not an ordinary product. It is a Dayuan fine horse that was presented to the Dazhao Kingdom as a national treasure by the Western Regions. She reincarnated as a human and searched through history, trying to find traces of the existence of her Dazhao Kingdom between the lines, and also paid attention to the situation of other small countries in East Asia.
She slowly realized that her horse should be an Akhal-Teke horse from Turkmenistan.
Dazhao had obtained more than one Dawan horse. Her Chiyan was given by the emperor to a general like her, so it must be the best among Dawan horses, and it can travel a thousand miles a day.
If this pure-blooded horse can have such a speed, it means that the pure-blooded horse has surpassed the Dawan horse that Dazhao was once proud of in terms of breed.
Gu Shizhang gently grasped the horse's neck, and the horse was obviously enjoying it, and even closed his eyes slightly in enjoyment.
He smiled and said, "Yes, it is said that the medical community has done anatomical research on British pureblood horses and found that they have a sensitive responsive nervous system, large pores on the skin and dryness--"
When he said this, he looked at Ye Tianhui: "Their weight is about 450 kilograms, but their heart weighs 8 kilograms."
Ye Tianhui nodded: "This horse has big eyes, and it can be seen that the heart is also big."
You should know that there are five internal organs in horse selection, so-called liver from the ears, lungs from the nose, heart from the eyes, kidneys from the abdomen, and spleen from the mouth. It is a "from the outside to know the inside" technique.
And in the old saying "Horse Selection Classic", it is mentioned that if the heart wants to be big, big eyes mean a big heart, a big heart means fierceness and not being startled, and full eyes mean being healthy day and night. Now this horse, in terms of the five senses, is indeed rare.
She thought for a moment and said, "But the pure-blooded horse is about explosive power. Strong explosive power does not necessarily mean long-term performance. If you want to ride it for a long distance, you still need to pay attention to endurance and stamina."
From this point of view, her Dayuan horse Chiyan is naturally better than this British pure-blooded horse.
Gu Shizhang listened and looked at Ye Tianhui with admiration: "It seems that Miss Ye has a lot of insights into the art of horse selection."
Ye Tianhui did not hide it: "I know a little bit. In fact, I came to work at this horse farm because I am very interested in horses. I want to see more and learn more."
Gu Shizhang raised his eyebrows slightly: "How many seeded players do you want to bet on?"
Ye Tianhui was not ashamed when her thoughts were revealed. She frankly Bai admitted: "I am short of money, but I have no way to make money, so I naturally want to gamble. After all, everyone is betting, so I am not missing one."
Gu Shizhang smiled and looked at Ye Tianhui: "So you climbed over the wall and sneaked in. You are not a staff here, right?"
Ye Tianhui heard this and looked over. The man's black eyes fell in the shadow of the stable, and it was unclear and obscure.
She smiled: "Yes, I climbed over the wall to get in. What, you want to report me?"
When she said this, she was thinking in her heart that if he dared to say it was, she would punch him and knock him out first.
Although he really looks like a saint, if she punched him, she would feel guilty of treason.
But... who cares, he is not a saint anyway.
Gu Shizhang looked at her nonchalant expression, and after a moment of silence, he suddenly laughed out loud: "How could that be? Don't be like this. You will make me think that you want to kill me to silence me."
Ye Tianhui comforted her: "Don't worry, I won't kill anyone. I won't do such a bad thing easily. At most, I will knock you out so that you won't let others catch me."
"If you want to shout for help, I guarantee that you will fall down before your accomplices arrive. Do you want to take a gamble?"
Gu Shizhang: "No, I won't bet. I believe you and I don't want to report you."
He sighed and said, "I'm just a charioteer. You can sneak in and take a look. Just don't cause any damage. It's none of my business, right?"
Ye Tianhui: "Really?"
Gu Shizhang took out a brand name from his pocket and handed it to Ye Tianhui: "Can I give this to you? Look, this is my name and position."
Ye Tianhui took it and looked at it. On it was a photo of Gu Shizhang. She looked up and compared it. It was indeed him.
Below it was written his name and position in both English and traditional Chinese. His Chinese name was Gu Shizhang and his English name was Modesta. Below it was written that he was a charioteer.
As she looked at it, Gu Shizhang said, "If you still don't believe me, I'll give you this watch as a mortgage."
As he said that, he took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to Ye Tianhui: "This watch is very expensive. I bought it in Switzerland. It cost me a month's salary. You can use this to support me."
Ye Tianhui took a look at the watch. There are also imported watches in the mainland, which are particularly expensive. She can feel that this watch must be more expensive than all the watches she has seen before.
She returned the brand to Gu Shizhang: "If you don't report me, I won't make it difficult for you. You asked me to take your watch, do you want to make me a robber? Now I know your name, if you dare to say a word, don't worry, I will not let you go in the future."
Gu Shizhang smiled in his eyes and said innocently: "Don't be so fierce to me, I swear I won't report you, okay?"
Ye Tianhui snorted in her heart, always thinking that he was very strange, always thinking that he was a smiling tiger.
But since he said so, she let it go, anyway, if he said it, she could run away quickly.
Gu Shizhang added: "I understand. You sneaked in just to watch the horse racing and make some money. I can understand that, so if you need it, I can introduce you to a job. I see that you know a lot about horse racing. Wouldn't it be better for you to give full play to your strengths than to sneak into the racecourse and be nervous?"
Ye Tianhui didn't trust Gu Shizhang very much. She felt that this man was definitely not someone to be easily dealt with. He must be a man with a deep mind and might be up to some evil ideas.
But since he said so, she naturally took the opportunity to test him and asked, "Oh, what kind of job do you think I am suitable for?"
Gu Shizhang: "I don't know, but I can find a job at a horse farm, right?"
Ye Tianhui: "Oh, you are a rider, what does a rider do?"
Gu Shizhang introduced with a smile: "It means riding a horse."
He went on to say: "You don't have to worry about me reporting you, because I am not under the management of the stable department, which means that the stables here have nothing to do with me. I am a freelance rider and I came back from England with the camera."
Ye Tianhui Question: "Follow Zhaoguang back?"
Gu Shizhang: "Yes, I am specifically responsible for Zhaoguang's daily training and adjusting his condition. Everyday I take Zhaoguang out for morning exercises according to the trainer's riding requirements, and then go to the track for formal training. I should understand what I mean, right? So when Zhaoguang returns to normal, I will leave. The management of the horse farm has nothing to do with me."
Ye Tianhui understood a little bit. The trainer is a professional in training horses, the rider is a professional in riding horses, and Gu Shizhang is a rider, a non-staff member, who just follows Zhaoguang.
Gu Shizhang smiled at her, his eyes were gentle and friendly: "If you are interested in the future, you can find me. In addition, if you need to see horses, you can also tell me, I can bring you in at any time. Although climbing the wall helps you exercise, it doesn’t seem so good if you are seen by others, right?"
Ye Tianhui: "That makes sense."
Gu Shizhang: "Now, I will take you to see other horses first, do you want to see?"
Ye Tianhui listened and naturally felt that he was too kind.
She felt that those who were unusually kind were either thieves or thieves, and might have ulterior motives.
But she didn't say anything. Anyway, she would take it one step at a time and see what tricks he would play. At worst, she could just punch him.
So she nodded: "Okay!"
Gu Shizhang: My wife is so hard to please.
