Mr. Cai, who was already feeling depressed, darkened even more upon hearing this. Without saying a word, he turned around and walked towards the grassland behind him, his back exuding an air of "don't mess with me" irritation.
Professor Li marveled, circling the red dragon and examining it closely, muttering, "The Akhal-Teke horse, scientifically known as the Akhal-Teke, originated from the Akhal Oasis between the Kopet Dag Mountains and the Karakum Desert in Turkmenistan."
"There, it is just as precious as the giant panda in our country."
He spoke with great emotion, expressing his immense gratitude that he never imagined he would be able to see a live Akhal-Teke horse in his lifetime; he was truly fortunate.
While it's true that Akhal-Teke horses can be acquired with money and connections, it's truly unprecedented for a Red Dragon's price to plummet from $1 million to $500,000 before being acquired by Zhang Long for $200,000.
Back in the day, Emperor Wu of Han launched a war to obtain a Ferghana horse, which shows just how precious that horse was.
Led by Manager Song, the convoy slowly drove towards the grassland.
Hu Xinxin was like a curious child, her eyes darting around, looking here and there, everything was so new and exciting.
Zhang Long stood beside her, patiently explaining the layout and purpose of the base: "See that row of white buildings over there?"
“Those are modern livestock sheds. Our base mainly raises beef cattle and sheep. The meat that our family usually eats is produced here.”
"The whole area behind is also made up of shacks. I haven't actually counted how many there are."
"Look over there, that's our big pasture. It was originally 30 hectares, but after we merged with several surrounding farms, it's now over 80 hectares."
"You might not have a good grasp of this number, but you know what a standard football field is, right? It's about the size of more than 1,100 standard football fields."
Hu Xinxin was stunned. The image of 1,100 football fields lined up together flashed through her mind, and she was completely dumbfounded. She couldn't help but sigh that her boyfriend always managed to bring her unexpected shocks.
When Boss Cai saw Li Lanxiang waiting at the edge of the meadow, his already unpleasant expression darkened even more, as if he were completely shrouded in dark clouds.
He was cursing filth in his heart, but what could he do?
"I'm suffering inside, but I won't say it!"
This Zhang Long is simply incompatible with him. If he had known that helping him buy horses would turn out like this, he would have just let Li Hong deal with him from the beginning.
Unfortunately, there's no going back in life, so it's better to just ignore it.
During this period, because of the BMW that Zhang Long bought, he was woken up countless times in the middle of the night, he couldn't even count them on his fingers.
Boss Cai pretended not to see Li Lanxiang and walked forward on his own, but Li Lanxiang had sharp eyes and had already spotted him.
A bright and cheerful smile appeared on her face as she walked lightly forward and greeted him warmly: "President Cai, what brings you here today!"
Boss Cai forced a smile that looked more like a grimace and replied dryly, "Haha, it's Xiao Li."
Are you settling in well here?
"If you don't feel comfortable here, go back to the club. The facilities there are much better than here!"
Li Lanxiang covered her mouth and chuckled softly, politely declining, "Never mind, Mr. Cai, I'm doing fine here, so please don't worry about me!"
Li Lanxiang was secretly relieved; how could this place not be good?
She works here and brought her husband, her elderly parents, and her two children with her.
The couple works together, earns a high salary, and has all the social insurances and housing fund benefits. Where in the world could you find a better place?
The old man also found work on the farm.
With such generous benefits and a comfortable environment, she wouldn't want to leave even if she were carried away in a sedan chair by eight people.
Mr. Cai, having been rebuffed and feeling embarrassed, fell silent.
At this moment, after Li Lanxiang saw that the carts transporting the horses had come to a stop, she spoke to Boss Cai and then called her husband to walk quickly towards the carts to unload the horses first.
When Zhang Long and his companion arrived, all twelve horses had already disembarked safely.
They saw Li Lanxiang and a burly man preparing to open the door of the Honglong car.
Zhang Long quickly spoke up to stop them, and saw the two of them turn around and look at him with a puzzled expression.
"This horse is very spirited, so be careful not to get hurt!"
This strong man is named Batel, Li Lanxiang's husband, and he is of Mongolian ethnicity.
Upon hearing the words "fierce horse," Batel's eyes lit up instantly, filled with excitement and curiosity.
Batel was filled with gratitude for the boss who had given his family a stable life.
He patted his broad chest and said in broken Mandarin, "Boss, I have some experience in training horses, let me give it a try!"
Seeing that he was eager to try, Zhang Long generously gestured for him to proceed.
As it turned out, even the strong and robust Batel was somewhat outmatched by the fierce Akhal-Teke horse, Red Dragon.
Of course, it's also possible that Batel had some reservations, after all, this was the boss's prized possession, and he wouldn't dare to really take drastic measures to tame it.
On the grasslands, Mongolians have many ways of taming wild horses, but faced with this valuable red dragon, even with all his skills, Batel could only stand there helplessly.
Fortunately, just as Honglong was about to deliver a powerful blow to his opponent and stood up, he heard Zhang Long's loud shout.
"Red Dragon!"
Red Dragon, who was just about to give Battier a hard time, regained his composure after hearing Zhang Long's roar.
That shout was like a tight headband, and the red dragon instantly became obedient.
The child obediently ran to Zhang Long's side, rubbing its head against him. It looked just like a wronged child, its face full of sadness and grievance.
Zhang Long smiled and took a few carrots from Li Lanxiang's hand. Like coaxing a baby, he gently stroked Honglong's cheeks again and again, trying to soothe its emotions.
Hu Xinxin stood to the side, looking at the majestic red dragon, feeling both curious and afraid. She wanted to reach out and touch it, but hesitated.
Zhang Long could easily see through his girlfriend's thoughts. Without saying a word, he took her hand and placed it on Honglong's body.
Red Dragon's body stiffened abruptly, and the action of chewing carrots in his mouth stopped instantly.
It turned its head with some confusion and saw Hu Xinxin smiling brightly.
Honglong was not happy about it. He was about to lash out when he looked up and met Zhang Long's piercing gaze. Instantly, he gave in.
