Chapter 1183: Conflict and New Year
Old man Herbert stood up instantly at this moment, his eyes wide open!
The commentary in the big loudspeaker also made an exclamation, "Motherfucker, what happened?"
"Number 7 Golden Bullet bumped directly into Number 11 King. It's terrible, there was a collision between the two horses. Fortunately, they didn't stop because of this and are still running, but undoubtedly, this collision interfered with their competition for the championship!"
"Originally King had a great probability of sprinting for the championship, but because of this small collision, its state was affected, and the probability of sprinting for the first place dropped significantly."
"We see that the black Lightning, which has been in second place, has started to accelerate. It quickly surpassed the 'Big Star' currently in first place, and is frantically accelerating at a distance of three body lengths ahead of the others!"
"King is continuing to catch up. We see its side full of fighting spirit. It has surpassed 'Big Star', and is two body lengths away from the black Lightning!"
"It is still frantically chasing. It can be seen that it has exploded with all its strength. Is there a miracle?"
"My God, King's explosive power is too strong. This is a side it didn't show in previous competitions."
"Perhaps feeling the huge pressure from behind, the speed of the black Lightning is also constantly increasing..."
After more than a minute, the black Lightning crossed the finish line first with an advantage that was not very large, leading by half a body length, followed by King.
Old man Herbert was already angry. He took people and rushed down the auditorium.
Reporters on the side of the arena began to frantically take pictures for the champion. The jockey of the black Lightning also led it to the side of the arena. His accompanying personnel began to clean the sweat on the racehorse to avoid catching a cold and getting sick from the cold wind.
After winning a championship, its value has skyrocketed a lot. Many people have already made up their minds at this time, no matter what, they must get its life essence to cultivate the next generation of racehorses that may have excellent genes, so as to win future competitions for themselves.
Compared with the importance of the black Lightning, King obviously didn't get that much attention.
Sports competitions are like this. Whether it is people participating or horse racing, people's focus will often only be on the champion, not on the second or third place or people with worse results.
The jockey led King, his eyes staring at the jockey of the black Lightning with some hostility. He knew very well that if it weren't for that Golden Bullet colliding with him, causing King's running posture and mental state to be affected, they could have completely crossed the finish line in the first place!
Now, everything is ruined!
Horse racing competitions are indeed important, but the jockey is also very important. If he can win a first-level competition championship, he will have a firm foothold in this industry and get a lifetime meal ticket guarantee.
Even if Lawrence Farm doesn't use him in the future, he can go to other farms, horse farms, to be a jockey or jockey coach or even a horse trainer.
Having a championship title and not having a championship title are definitely two different things.
Although there are still opportunities to participate in various competitions to compete for more championships next year and the year after, this championship was clearly already in their hands, but it was snatched away by some despicable means!
Old man Herbert rushed into the arena. He walked to the jockey of the black Lightning and pushed him hard.
The cowboys who were doing maintenance for the black Lightning rushed over immediately, and the two groups of people started a confrontation full of gunpowder, which made the reporters even more interested.
"You despicable bitch-raised ones, stole the championship from me with such means, are you happy now?"
A reporter immediately asked, "Sir, what do you mean by saying they used despicable means to steal the championship?"
Thinking that such an ordinary interview today could still break big news, the reporters were also excited.
The owner of the black Lightning also brought people over. He was counting on this horse to make big money!
"What the fuck are you talking about?" He walked strongly to Old man Herbert's side, directed his men to drive away those reporters, and his eyebrows stood up.
"If you have evidence, you go to the Horse Racing Association to submit evidence. If you don't have evidence and talk nonsense, don't blame me for suing you!"
Without waiting for Old man Herbert to say anything, he directly asked the jockey to lead the black Lightning away from here.
Fixed race things like this are indeed not few in the horse racing circle. If this conflict leads to some problems, it may affect his income.
They didn't intend to entangle with Old man Herbert, but this matter is definitely not over!
When returning to the passage, the owner of the black Lightning took the initiative to ask the horse racing agent, "This old man won't have any trouble, right?"
The horse racing agent shook his head. "I have already asked someone to inquire. A farm in the countryside of Laizhou, which has never been engaged in horse racing before, may have made some money now and wants to try it."
"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. A half-outsider wants to come in and play with us, so he has to obey our rules of the game."
"In this field of horse racing, we are the professionals!"
The owner of the black Lightning showed a satisfied smile on his face. "What if they complain to the Horse Racing Association..."
The horse racing agent patted his chest and guaranteed, "He doesn't have any substantive evidence, and there are our people in the Horse Racing Association, so don't worry."
The federal government has thousands of horse farms, and there may be more. These horse farms all take cultivating excellent riding or competition horses as their main business projects.
Those large horse farms have abundant resources and complex backgrounds. Some are even famous internationally.
But there are also many small horse farms that are not very famous and have never cultivated any champion racehorses.
The number of these small horse farms is too large. Too many people have seen the crazy profits in this line and want to share a piece of cake, but most of them eventually become background boards.
Lawrence Farm, a horse farm that has never been heard of, and may not be mainly for cultivating racehorses, how could they take it to heart?
The federal government is a society that pays attention to relationships and interests. If you have connections and are willing to pay, there is nothing you can't handle.
It is said to be a horse racing agent, but more, they are also playing the role of horse racing brokers. They help people solve various problems related to horse racing.
Bloodline cheating, championship trading, as long as the money is enough!
Old man Herbert was so angry that his chest was bulging. He looked at Lans who walked over. "Must make them pay the price!"
Lans did not refuse. No matter from which aspect, he needs to make these people pay the price.
"Leave it to me."
It is not a difficult thing to figure out who these people are. "Black Lightning" needs to be registered with the Horse Racing Association before it can go to the arena.
It is not a simple thing for a horse to participate in a competition. There are many materials that need to be filled out, and there is a registration fee that is not small, so basically no one messes around.
Every racehorse participating in the competition will have a file, especially champion racehorses, which will have a separate file to store.
With Tom's connections, it was easy to contact people from the Horse Racing Association, and they pulled out the files.
"What do you plan to do?" When Tom handed the file to Lans, he already knew what had happened.
How to say this kind of thing?
It is very common. Politics has black curtains, let alone sports.
Lans took the file bag and glanced at it, then handed it to the people around him. "They had a dream, and now I want to tell them that the dream is about to wake up!"
In a modernized society, information is always a very important factor. When Lans got the registration information behind this horse, Black Lightning, he quickly figured out who its owner was.
A professional horse farm specializing in horse racing has cultivated dozens of horses that have won first-level competition championships, and there is also a double-crown winner.
The annual profit is amazing, tens of millions. Of course, there are also huge expenses behind this. Each stable only has three or four horses, and it is necessary to ensure that their food is nutritious and meets the standards of scientific feeding.
Nutritionists, horse trainers, various workers, this is a huge industry, thousands of employees.
And not every investment will have a stable return. Perhaps the dozens of racehorses carefully cared for by the horse farm this year invested hundreds of thousands, or even hundreds of thousands, and in the end, not a single good ranking was brought back, so this batch of horses was basically scrapped, and the loss was very heavy.
He is not going to acquire this company, nor is he going to compete with them in this industry. He just wants to let these people know that they did a stupid thing.
Black Lightning was put on cotton armor and sent to a special truck. Its owner sat in another car. The people in the car all had smiles on their faces.
"Next year I have already contacted two second-level competitions. As long as it can continue to win the championship, our mating fee will probably be more than ten thousand dollars."
Hearing this number, the horse farm owner showed a satisfied smile. More than a hundred matings a year is more than a million, and there are no extra expenses and burdens, just normal feeding.
A new income of more than a million a year can maintain at least five to seven years. When Black Lightning's age starts to get older, its mating fee will decrease. In the end, it may only be two or three thousand dollars.
But for now, this is related to an income of tens of millions in the next seven or eight years. How can he not be satisfied?
In recent years, the racetrack has never had any racehorses that can be taken out. Black Lightning is already the best racehorse they have cultivated. If they fail this time, they will face huge economic pressure.
So using a little means is worth it.
This is much easier than training racehorses to sprint for the championship—spending money to buy a championship back.
Starting next year, Black Lightning can start to make money continuously. The money earned is reinvested in the operation of the horse farm. This is their work and life.
The horse farm of Black Lightning is in Jincheng. After this competition, they returned directly to the horse farm and left New Jincheng. What remains is to wait for the opening of some first and second-level competitions next year, and then send the racehorses with good conditions in the horse farm to participate in the competition, striving to get some good rankings back.
Even if it is only five hundred or one thousand for a stud, it is acceptable, better than nothing.
"By the way, you can ask the people at Lawrence Farm if they sell that 'King'. That horse is better than Black Lightning. We can operate it again, and it can bring us more money."
The horse racing agent smiled and wrote this down. "I will talk to them, how much do you plan to pay?"
The horse farm owner considered for a while. "Thirty-five thousand."
Buying a horse for thirty-five thousand sounds unbelievable. After all, how much is a human life worth?
This is something that the bottom of society can never imagine, and it is also something that the upper class tries not to let the bottom of society know. If they realize that their lifelong hard work is not even as good as one of their small gadgets.
It is not even as good as a horse, the beliefs of the bottom people will collapse, bringing a series of changes to society.
The vehicle quickly disappeared at the end of the road. They still have to go back and prepare for the competition in three months in the spring. Every extra champion, whether it is a first-level competition or a second-level competition, is equivalent to an extra cash cow that can last for ten years for the horse farm.
As for Lawrence Farm?
No one takes it to heart.
Old man Herbert also took "King" back. They also have to prepare for the "Southern Speed Championship" after the spring next year, a first-level competition in the southern region. Since "King" has already proven itself, then it should participate in more competitions and get more rankings when it is at its peak.
But this matter is definitely not over.
A few days later, the owner of the black Lightning received a call from the horse racing agent.
"They rejected your offer. I increased the price to forty thousand, but they still rejected it and scolded me." The voice of the horse racing agent revealed a bit of grievance.
The horse farm owner sighed, a bit disappointed. "Since they don't want to sell, forget it. The money has been transferred. If there is anything else, we will contact you."
After putting down the phone, the horse farm owner walked to the window, looking at the vast horse farm, which was divided into small pieces.
Even in winter, the horse farm is exceptionally lively. The horse farm owner looked at his "empire", and a satisfied smile appeared on his face.
As the New Year gets closer, there is more atmosphere of the New Year in the city.
The atmosphere of the New Year in the countryside is not strong, but in the city, the atmosphere of the festival is much richer.
Capital will always find ways to find a reason to take out the money in people's pockets. Ritual sense is the best solution.
New Year, festival, go out to eat, buy some New Year gifts, various marketing methods can always take out some money more or less.
In such an atmosphere, people began to say goodbye to the old year. Many things happened this year, the end of the war, the fluctuation of the financial market, the upward trend of the economy, and the general election.
Lans actually wanted to go back to the farm, where his wife and children are, but in the end he couldn't go back because of the New Year.
For some people, the New Year is a day to relax, but for other people, the New Year means tension and uncertainty.
They have to be prepared to deal with this terrible New Year! ===== CHAPTER 1184 =====
