Chapter 9
Ye Tianhui concealed her thoughts, and of course she would not mention Chi Yan to this person.
Buying a horse would definitely cost a lot of money, and she hoped to buy it at a lower price, so if she wanted to buy it, she had to hide her purpose.
The identity of the man in front of her was unknown, so she was on guard against him. More importantly, of course, he looked too much like a saint.
Chiyan is the BMW given to her by the saint. She doesn't want to expose Chiyan in front of Gu Shizhang, as it would feel like exposing herself.
She looked at the horse and said, "It's really good. How much is it?"
Gu Shizhang: "This horse is more expensive than usual. Before its leg injury, its value was 40 million US dollars."
Ye Tianhui was a little surprised: "Forty million?"
Of course she knew that US dollars were different from Hong Kong dollars and that US dollars were more valuable.
But forty million dollars?
Gu Shizhang nodded affirmatively: "Even with its leg injured, it's still worth $16 million."
Ye Tianhui: “…”
Her eyes swept over the stable again. It was an expensive stable with complete facilities and even the double-layered glass ceiling above it.
No wonder their living conditions are so good.
If you weigh someone like her and sell them, even if you sell a hundred of them, she still can't fetch a net worth of $16 million.
Thinking about it this way, she suddenly understood why the horses at the racecourse were not allowed to be viewed casually. This was a trade secret, and this was the winning formula of the racecourse in the future.
Gu Shizhang raised his hand and gently stroked the horse's neck. The horse was docile and rubbed its head against his arm.
He smiled and said, "It's just a British thoroughbred, and given its glorious history, it's naturally very expensive."
Ye Tianhui listened and looked at the light again.
She didn't know what British was. The horse books she had read mentioned British purebreds, but she had never seen one and didn't know how good they were. Now, after seeing it, she realized that it was indeed a good horse.
Gu Shizhang: "The origins of the British Thoroughbred can be traced back 1,600 years to the Arabian and Barbary horses. This type of horse has a long stride and a quick pace. It is fast and hardy, and has great explosive power. It can be said that it was born for racing and is the fastest horse in the world."
Ye Tianhui was curious: "How fast?"
Gu Shizhang: "The world record for a thoroughbred horse is 53.7 seconds per 1,000 meters. Even compared to a car, it's still on par."
Ye Tianhui calculated silently: "That really is traveling a thousand miles a day."
Her red goose was naturally no ordinary item. It was a fine horse from Dayuan that was presented to the Kingdom of Dazhao as a national treasure by the Western Regions. She was reincarnated as a human being and searched through history, trying to find traces of the existence of her Kingdom of Dazhao between the lines. She also paid attention to the situation of other small countries in East Asia.
She gradually realized that her horse must be an Akhal-Teke horse from Turkmenistan.
Da Zhao had obtained more than one fine horse from Dayuan. Her Chiyan was given to her by the emperor as such a great general, so it must be the best among the fine horses of Dayuan, which is why it can travel a thousand miles a day.
If this purebred horse can actually reach this speed, it means that the purebred horse has surpassed the Dayuan horse that Dazhao once took pride in in terms of breed.
Gu Shizhang gently scratched the horse's neck. The horse obviously enjoyed it and even closed its eyes slightly in enjoyment.
He smiled and said, "Yes, it is said that the medical community has conducted anatomical research on British thoroughbred horses and found that they have a sensitive nervous system and large, dry skin pores—"
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, so it seems that its heart is also big."
You should know that there are five methods for judging a horse's internal organs. The so-called liver is seen through the ears, the lungs through the nose, the heart through the eyes, the kidneys through the abdomen, and the spleen through the mouth. This is the art of physiognomy that "knows the inside from the outside."
In the past, it was mentioned in the "Xiangma Jing" that if one wants a big heart, big eyes mean a big heart. A big heart means being fierce and not frightened. If the eyes are full, the person will be healthy day and night. Now, this horse, judging from its five senses, is indeed rare.
She thought for a moment and added, "But a thoroughbred horse's strength lies in its explosive power. Strong explosive power doesn't necessarily mean it lasts long. If you're riding it for a long distance, you still need to focus on endurance and stamina."
From this point of view, her Dayuan horse Chiyan is naturally superior to this British thoroughbred horse.
Gu Shizhang listened and looked at Ye Tianhui with admiration: "It seems that Miss Ye has quite some insights into the art of horse selection."
Ye Tianhui did not hide it: "I know a little bit. Actually, I came to work at this horse farm because I am very interested in horses. I want to see more and gain some knowledge."
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 exposed. She frankly admitted, "I'm short of money, but I don't have many other ways to make money, so I naturally wanted to take a gamble. After all, everyone is betting, so I don't need anyone else."
Gu Shizhang looked at Ye Tianhui with a smile: "So you climbed over the wall and sneaked in. You are not a staff here, right?"
After hearing this, Ye Tianhui met his gaze. The man's black eyes fell into the shadow of the stable, making them unclear and difficult to distinguish.
She smiled and said, "Yes, I climbed over the wall. What? You want to report me, right?"
When he said this, he was thinking in his heart that if he dared to say yes, he would punch him and knock him out first.
Although he really looked like a saint, if she hit him, she would feel guilty of treason.
But... never mind, he's not one of them anyway.
Gu Shizhang looked at her nonchalant expression, and after a moment's silence, he suddenly laughed out loud: "Why? Don't be like this. You make me feel like you want to kill me to silence me."
Ye Tianhui comforted him, "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 anyone catch me."
"If you scream for help, I guarantee you'll be down before your accomplices arrive. Do you want to take a gamble?"
Gu Shizhang: "No, I don't gamble. I believe you, and I don't want to report you."
He smiled and sighed, "I'm just a jockey. You can sneak in and watch. As long as you don't cause any trouble, it's none of my business, right?"
Ye Tianhui: "Really?"
Gu Shizhang took out a name tag 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. It was an ID photo of Gu Shizhang. She looked up and compared it with the photo. It was indeed him.
His name and position are written below in both English and Traditional Chinese. His Chinese name is Gu Shizhang and his English name is Modesta. It is written below that he is a jockey.
As she looked at him like this, Gu Shizhang said again, "If you still don't believe me, I'll give you this watch as a mortgage."
As he spoke, he took off the watch on his wrist and handed it to Ye Tianhui: "This watch of mine is very expensive. I bought it in Switzerland. It cost me a month's salary. You can use this to hold me hostage."
Ye Tianhui took a look at the watch. There are also imported watches from the mainland, which are very expensive. She can feel that this watch must be more expensive than all the watches she has encountered before.
She returned the brand to Gu Shizhang and said, "If you don't report me, I won't make things difficult for you. You asked me to take your watch, are you trying to make me a robber? Now that I know your name, if you dare to say a single word, rest assured, I will not let you go."
Gu Shizhang smiled and said innocently, "Don't be so mean to me. I swear I won't tell on you, okay?"
Ye Tianhui snorted in her heart. She always felt that he was weird and a smiling tiger.
But since he said so, she let it go. Anyway, if he made it public, she could run away quickly.
Gu Shizhang continued, "I understand. You sneaked in just to watch the horse racing and earn some money. I understand that, so if you need anything, I can find you a job. I see you know a lot about horse racing. Wouldn't it be better for you to use your strengths instead of sneaking in and living in fear at the racecourse?"
Ye Tianhui didn't trust Gu Shizhang very much. She felt that this person was definitely not someone to be trifled with. He must be a man of deep thoughts and might be up to some evil intentions.
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 either, but I can find a job at a horse farm, right?"
Ye Tianhui: "Oh, you are a jockey. What does a jockey do?"
Gu Shizhang smiled and introduced: "It's a horse rider."
He continued, "You don't have to worry about me reporting you, because I'm not under the stable management. This means I have nothing to do with the stables here. I'm a freelance jockey, and I came back from England with Longguang."
Ye Tianhui was puzzled: "Follow Long Guang back?"
Gu Shizhang: "Yes, I am specifically responsible for Longguang's daily training and adjusting his condition. My daily routine is basically to take Longguang out for morning exercises according to the trainer's riding requirements, and then go to the track for formal training. I think you can understand what I mean. So, once Longguang is back to normal, I will leave. The operation of the stable has nothing to do with me."
Ye Tianhui understood a little bit. A horse trainer is responsible for training horses, a jockey is responsible for riding horses, and Gu Shizhang is a jockey, a non-staff member, who just follows Long Guang.
Gu Shizhang smiled at her, his eyes gentle and friendly. "If you're interested in the future, you can come to me. Also, if you need to see a horse, you can tell me and I can bring you in anytime. Although climbing the wall can help you exercise, it doesn't seem so good if others see you, right?"
Ye Tianhui: "That makes sense."
Gu Shizhang: "Now, I'll take you to see other horses first. Do you want to see them?"
When Ye Tianhui heard this, she naturally felt that he was too kind.
She felt that those who were unusually kind were either scoundrels or thieves, and might have ulterior motives.
But she didn't say anything. She just took it one step at a time and saw what tricks he played. At worst, she could just punch him.
So she nodded: "Okay!"
Gu Shizhang: My wife is so hard to please
