Chapter 790 "Buying a Horse"
The next morning.
According to the agreement with Qin He, Wei Changtian set off with Qin He to Changsheng Horse Shop in the east of the city after breakfast.
Only Zhang San accompanied them, while Yang Liushi and Li Zimu remained in the inn.
The carriage passed through the streets which were becoming increasingly bustling, and Longshou Mountain in the distance looked majestic.
On the way, Wei Changtian and Qin He chatted about family matters, and they became more familiar with each other than before.
To Wei Changtian, Qin He was just an ordinary innkeeper. Zhang San secretly observed her for a long time last night but did not find anything unusual.
Even if Qin He recognized me, it wouldn't matter. At worst I could just change inns.
Wei Changtian was very confident that no one in Yongding City could do anything to him, so he didn't really care whether Qin He suspected him or not.
After chatting with Wei Changtian along the way, Qin He actually dispelled many of her doubts.
At least this young master Wei behaved very openly and honestly, and he really didn't look like a bandit. In this way, the two of them quickly took a car to the East Market, and then saw the sign of "Changsheng Horse Shop" on the street.
"Master Wei, this is the place."
Lifting the curtain and looking outside, Qin He said with a smile, "Look, there are a few horses tied outside the door."
"Really?"
Wei Changtian glanced at the several solid-colored BMWs tied up in the open space outside the store for "show", and smiled as well.
"Okay, let's go."
“.”
Spacious and bright, with people coming and going.
Just as Qin He said, Changsheng Horse Racing must have a good reputation, as many people came to pick horses early in the morning.
The horse shops in ancient times were actually a bit like the car 4S stores in the previous life. The horses for sale were tied in the stables behind the store for customers to choose.
But just like cars, horses are not small items. The price of dozens of taels of silver is not something that ordinary people can afford.
Most people who buy horses will not make a purchase in one go. They will often make comparisons repeatedly, trying to buy a good horse that is both cheap and to their liking.
As a result, even though there are many people in the store, there are actually not many transactions completed.
However, the waiter in the shop was still very attentive. As soon as he saw Wei Changtian and the other two come in, he came to greet them with a smile.
"Three of you, are we going to buy a horse?"
"Um."
Wei Changtian nodded calmly: "Take us to the backyard and take a look."
"Okay! This way, please!"
The waiter Gao Ying led the way, and the four of them quickly reached the backyard. At a glance, they saw at least dozens of horses in the yard.
The horses were all in good condition. Although they were tied in the stables, they were all in good spirits.
Wei Changtian took a few glances, and the guy next to him could tell that he was the boss, so he smiled and asked:
"Sir, what kind of horse do you want to buy?"
"Is it for pulling a cart? Or riding?"
"We'll talk about this later."
Wei Changtian waved his hand and his eyes fell on Qin He, who was covering her mouth and nose with a handkerchief.
There are dozens of horses in the yard, and even though someone is cleaning it all the time, the smell is still pungent.
Qin He obviously couldn't stand the smell, so she had been frowning since she came in.
"Miss Qin, the smell here is strong, don't let your clothes get fumed."
Smiling, Wei Changtian asked softly, "Why don't you go out and wait for me first?"
"this."
Qin He hesitated for a moment, probably wondering whether to verify Wei Changtian's identity.
But perhaps because she no longer doubted Wei Changtian, or perhaps because the smell here was too strong, after a moment she nodded apologetically.
"Okay, I'll go out first."
"Master Wei, I'm sorry. I originally said I would accompany you to watch the horses."
"Hahaha, that's ridiculous. I'm already very grateful that you can show me the way."
With a loud laugh, Wei Changtian turned to Zhang San and ordered, "Find a teahouse nearby and have tea with Miss Qin while waiting for me."
"Yes, sir."
Zhang San lowered his head and said softly to Qin He, "Miss Qin, let's go."
"Um"
“.”
Soon, Qin He, who had just come in and stood there for a while, left the horse shop with Zhang San and went to a teahouse to have tea.
After they left, Wei Changtian looked at the horse shop clerk beside him and asked with a smile:
"Did you just ask me what kind of horse I wanted to buy?"
"Yes, sir."
The waiter hurriedly explained: "Although these horses are all horses, they have their own strengths just like people."
"Some horses are docile and best for riding."
"Some horses have good endurance, and they are suitable for pulling carts."
"Some horses"
Perhaps people thought Wei Changtian was an ordinary rich young man. The waiter pointed at several horses and explained the differences between them in a very knowledgeable manner.
However, Wei Changtian only listened to a few words and then waved his hand to interrupt, "You don't have to say that."
"Let me ask you, what kind of horses do you have here?"
"Sir, I am not bragging."
Upon hearing this, the clerk immediately patted his chest and said, "We are the largest horse shop in Dahui. Just tell us what kind of horse you want. As long as it's not a flying dragon horse in the sky, we can find it for you!"
"Really? That's easy."
Wei Changtian looked at the fellow who was making such a solemn promise, and said in a playful tone:
"I want a war horse, do you have one?"
“.”
A quarter of an hour later, in a quiet reception room of Changsheng Horse Racing, Wei Changtian saw a fat middle-aged man.
Judging from the latter's clothing, he is obviously the manager of the horse business.
And the first thing he said after entering the house was -
"Sir, are you really not making fun of my Changsheng Horse Company?"
"Of course not."
Wei Changtian smiled and said, "I really want to buy a war horse."
“.”
After a question and an answer, the room fell into a brief silence.
War horses are considered "strategic resources" in any country and are generally not allowed to be sold by civilians.
However, although this is illegal, the profits are also huge, so many horse dealers with backgrounds will also do war horse trading business.
Obviously, Changsheng Horse Racing has this channel.
But the fat man didn’t quite believe the young man in front of him.
He looked Wei Changtian up and down, and after a moment of silence, he asked in a deep voice:
"How much do you want?"
"Three hundred thousand for this one."
"How much?"
The fat man's eyes widened suddenly, thinking he had heard wrongly.
However, Wei Changtian repeated it with a smile at this time.
"I said, I want 300,000 war horses."
“.”
His expression changed from shock to grim.
The fat man was sure that Wei Changtian was here to cause trouble, and he opened his mouth to say something.
But before he could finish his words, he heard Wei Changtian continue:
"Three hundred thousand war horses, can you make the decision?"
"If you can't make the decision, then let your chief shopkeeper come and talk to me."
"I will be at Zhuwu Inn in the south of the city for the next two days, waiting for Prince An to come at any time."
"By the way, remember to tell him that my last name is Wei."
In the suddenly fearful eyes of the fat man, Wei Changtian smiled and said word by word: "Also, if he doesn't come, then I will find someone else to buy the horse."
