Chapter 619 Praise

"I said, Mr. Zhao, your horse farm here is already world-class. There is no horse farm in Montana that can compare with this horse farm. We Montana people are all honest, so we are here There's nothing that can help you here, neither software nor hardware."

   After viewing the entire stud farm, Mr. Speaker of Montana told the truth to Mayor Zhao very bluntly. The grounds are first class and the trainers are first class in Europe, even the top.

This bluntness is really too blunt, to the point where Mayor Zhao couldn't accept the bluntness at once. After a while, thanks to the mayor's astuteness, he said humbly: "We have a philosopher in China. Confucius said that three people must have our teacher, which means that people can always learn from others, so our city and Montana still have a lot of mutual understanding in terms of animal husbandry and farm and ranch operations.” .

   "That's true! Our Montana is also very strong in animal husbandry and agriculture."

Mr. Speaker, this is not true. It is winter in Montana for almost half of the year. When talking about agriculture and animal husbandry, it cannot be compared with New Mexico and Texas, which are strong agricultural and animal husbandry states. .

  Suddenly, a horse farm owner asked: "Mr. Mayor, do you need horses in your city? We in Montana can provide almost all breeds of horses to your city, and the price is guaranteed."

At this moment, Mayor Zhao had a smile on his face, and he felt a little unhappy in his heart: "You suddenly jumped out to sell the horse when everyone was talking about it, is it appropriate? Besides, take the horse from Montana. Shipping to China, and shipping from California to China? If there is no discount on the price, who is stupid, looking for far away?"

   "It's not that this matter can't be discussed. I don't think it's too early now. Let's have dinner at the stud farm today." Mayor Zhao immediately brought the topic to dinner.

Not long after the group of people walked, someone in the crowd found Jian Heng and Hu Chengzhi galloping on the track. When he saw the horses under the two of them, and found that the horses were galloping at an extremely fast speed, he couldn't help but He said, "Look, who knows what kind of horse that is?"

They are all old people who are accompanied by horses. You can roughly see the speed of the horse just from the horse's running pace and posture. Then, by observing the horse's muscles and looking at the size of the stride, you can easily I can see some signs of endurance.

   "These are two short-distance horses!"

   Facts have proved that no matter how much experience there is, there will be mistakes. An old rancher watched it for a while and then expressed his opinion.

Immediately, another horse farmer refuted this fallacy: "You can tell that this is not a short-distance horse, but a long-distance horse, or a long-distance horse. I think if you can run a kilometer if you maintain this state, then you can Qualified to compete with Arabian horses in long-distance races."

   This is a very high evaluation. It can be said that this is the biggest compliment to a kind of horse in long-distance racing.

There are many horse fans in the world, each of them likes different horses, some are good at pulling weight, some are good at sprinting, and some are naturally good at long distance, but no matter which horse breed you are fans of, when it comes to short distance, the fastest The horse must be a thoroughbred horse. Other than pretending to understand other horses, they just want to cheat money. When it comes to long-distance, the best horse is the Arabian horse.

  If you insist on mentioning something like a blood-sweat horse, it is purely bragging. Now there are long-distance races in the Middle East every year. How many horses have you seen won the championship with sweat-blooded horses? It's really so awesome, with the pride of Arabia, the bonus can't attract the owner of a hard-earned BMW?

Regarding horse racing, before the appearance of thoroughbred horses, all races were long-distance. At that time, the British Empire and Arabian horse races were in full swing. It was nine out of ten races. The proud British tried countless horses, but they could not compete with them on long-distance races. Arabian horses compete.

   And the Arabs are also strict with Arabian horses, and they make the robbers of the British Empire feel ashamed and return home again and again on horse races.

In the end, the British stole three Arabian horses and bred thoroughbred horses with local horses. They said that the purebred horses were actually hybrid horses. You must know that in the naming of horse breeds, thoroughbred horses and thoroughbred horses are two concept.

Arabian horses and British native mares were used to breed a weird horse with a strong body, but extremely slender limbs. From the perspective of the time, this kind of horse was top-heavy and ugly, but the British found that this new ugly horse ran very well. Fast, but not for a long time. After having this kind of horse, when the British and the Arabs race horses again, the competition is not about the long distance, but the short distance.

When the skinny rider and the ugly thoroughbred horse appeared on the field, they were unanimously ridiculed, but when the love race started, the Arabian horse hadn't accelerated, and the ugly horse and its skinny rider had already ridden away. and go.

  From then on, the British Empire and Europeans seldom played long-distance horse racing, but only played short-distance horse racing mainly based on thoroughbred horses. Europeans and Americans stopped playing, and the value of Arabian horses lost a lot at once. It would be meaningless for Arabs to hold on to Arabian horses. In the end, as soon as Arabian horses were released by Arabs, many European racecourses used Arabian horses. Transform the existing horse breeds in your own country.

   It can be said that the horse that has the greatest influence on the world's horse breeds is the Arabian horse. There is no other horse whose influence cannot be compared with the Arabian horse.

   "Well, I think it's a long-distance horse"

  By the time this man came to a conclusion, the two horses had already galloped into the letter hole against the clock.

  Mayor Zhao said to Mr. Speaker: "This is the horse that the stud farm will breed. It is mainly for dressage, and it also has a very eye-catching performance on long distances."

   "Hmm!" After Mr. Speaker replied, he looked at his watch and stood quietly waiting to see the two horses again.

  When everyone's attention was on the two horses, someone finally focused on the two riders.

   "Jin's body is too straight, and the wind resistance is very strong, which wastes most of the horse's strength!"

When I saw the two horses again, the speed of the horses hardly decreased, but the two horses that were originally riding together were now one behind the other. Everyone recognized the two riders as members of the Montana delegation. He said, Jian Heng is naturally one of his own people, and now his own people are a little behind, so he has to find some reason to maintain his face, so Jian Heng's upright riding was used as a shield by others.

   "A very good horse" Mr. Speaker said from the bottom of his heart.

Whether it is physique or galloping performance, it shows that this kind of horse is an excellent long-distance horse. Mr. Speaker can be the speaker in Montana. This must be known. This kind of horse has an extremely perfect posture. The structure is said to have ten thousand and slender legs, the head is slightly small, but the nostrils are large, the neck presents a perfect swan neck but is very solid, and it is a very beautiful horse at first glance.

   As for whether it can be compared with Arabian horses, it depends on the performance on the field. No matter how much you boast, it is not as good as running a lap on the track. The results on the track are the best manifestation of strength. Mr. Speaker would not praise this kind of horse too much, it is not only reserved but also stable.

Now Mayor Zhao's little heart is quite satisfying. The praise given by the guests from afar to the stud farm made Mayor Zhao feel as if he had eaten a big watermelon in the dog days. It was so sweet and refreshing to his heart. , I have already made up my mind that I must act quickly on my original plan, and make it bigger and have a wider impact.

And a group of Montana people are surprised that the Chinese have bred an excellent long-distance horse breed. Of course, with the arrogance of these Americans, no one wants to introduce this kind of horse to the United States at this time. , because they don't think it's necessary at all.

  On the contrary, the Chinese who are traveling together are all beaming. It is an honor to be recognized by others, and it is also the recognition of the US delegation, although this is only a state delegation.

Jian Heng and Hu Chengzhi didn't think too much, they ran around, and they were physically and mentally comfortable, and they were sweating slightly, as if they had just soaked in a hot spring, dispelling all the negative emotions in their bodies. It's like being washed away.

After getting off the horse, I handed the horse to the staff. At this time, the horse is all wet. If it is not treated, the horse will catch a cold soon. The next thing the staff has to do is to bathe the horse immediately and dry it. .

   "Good horse, it's a pity that I can't afford it with my salary!"

   "Give you a horse!"

   "Forget it, even if you give me a horse, I can't afford it!" Hu Chengzhi said calmly.

   He didn’t lie at all, his monthly salary plus bonus was his entire income, which was just enough to support a family, and he couldn’t raise a horse.

  At this time, Jian Heng glanced at Hu Chengzhi, and suddenly remembered a sentence he heard before: Chinese people like honest officials, but they don’t like having an honest official in their family. At this moment, Jian Heng felt that what he said couldn't be better. Although he knew that Hu Chengzhi was an upright official, Jian Heng still didn't want to be friends with him. Because if you are too upright, you will be regarded as impersonal by your relatives and friends.
