Chapter 289: Heavy Construction
The laughter fell, and Sam said solemnly:
"Steven, are you sure you're going to pay $2 million for this yearling?
Sam was very sincere, and after the surprise, he had regained his composure and was not carried away by the $2 million!
If it were someone else, he would definitely not ask that, but immediately shook hands and made a deal, and settled in the bag.
Ye Tian is different, after all, his relationship with Jason is not ordinary, he is not only a boss and an employee, but also a good friend, and he helps Jason a lot, so Sam has to ask.
Even if Ye Tian regrets it now and doesn't plan to buy this pony, Sam doesn't care, and he doesn't worry that this pony can't be sold and can't be sold for a good price!
He has rediscovered the value of this pony, and with the free publicity from Louis and the trainer, there are absolutely a lot of people who want to buy this pony, and they don't have to worry about the buyer and the price at all!
Ye Tian understood Sam's thoughts very well, he smiled and nodded.
"Sam, I'm sure I'm going to buy this pony, 2 million dollars, that's a lot! You see, I'm very attached to this pony, he likes me, I like it, and that's enough!
In comparison, the dollar is the least important thing, and you can earn it again after spending it! It is a real pity to miss such a spiritual thoroughbred pony! I earned this deal!"
As he spoke, he kept brushing the mane of the shadow with his hand, or stroking its head, with a gentle and loving movement.
In his eyes, Jueying is no longer just a pure-blooded pony, but also a smart and sensible child!
Jueying also gave the best response, it rubbed Ye Tian with its head from time to time, and its movements were very intimate, and Sam and Jason who watched it were very envious!
A big smile bloomed on Sam's face, and without a doubt, this was the answer he wanted to hear the most!
"OK! Steven, $2 million deal, after signing the contract and making the payment, this thoroughbred pony belongs to you, I can see that it belongs only to you! Look at its affection for you, it's so jealous!"
Sam said with a smile and stretched out his right hand to Ye Tian.
At this time, in addition to excitement in his eyes, there was also a trace of reluctance!
After all, it is a treasure that has been cultivated for a year and has poured countless efforts!
Sam, thank you for breeding an outstanding thoroughbred, I have a hunch that this pony will go down in history and become a great horse of a generation, if not less than his ancestors, the Great Secretariat!"
Ye Tian stepped forward and shook Sam's hand, and said with a smug smile.
"Wow! You have such great expectations for him! Then let's wait and see, maybe this little guy could be the greatest racehorse ever!"
Sam smiled and agreed, but he didn't take Ye Tian's words too seriously in his heart.
In his opinion, Ye Tian is a pure layman, this move is more like a billionaire playing tickets, how can he know how to play horses? and it is the top thoroughbred racehorse!
Add to that the pedigree of this pony, and the fact that he comes from the 'Secretariat' line, dooms him to a limited number of achievements!
Even if it is very spiritual, it is not playful, spirituality only means that it is very smart, it does not mean that it is a competition result!
The pedigree and talent of a thoroughbred is so important that there are few exceptions!
Of course, there are some exceptions, and those exceptions are groundbreaking events in the history of horse racing, often accompanied by the birth of a peerless horse!
Could this pony be a peerless horse? Sam's confidence is not very high!
But he could imagine that the pony in front of him was an exception, a miraculous exception!
Ye Tian saw Sam's perfunctory, but he didn't care at all, just smiled.
The results of the future will speak for themselves, and this is the most powerful answer.
"I believe in my vision very much, as long as it is a treasure, I have never looked away, this pony is a moving treasure, and there can be no exception, it will be the future king of horse racing!"
Ye Tian gently stroked the mane of the absolute shadow and said confidently, his eyes full of appreciation.
Jueying seemed to sense the high hopes placed on him by his master, and immediately raised his head to the sky and hissed in response.
Although the voice is still immature, it is very loud, with a hint of domineering!
Sam was skeptical of Ye Tian's words, and only responded in vain.
Jason firmly believes that since Steven said that this pony is the king of the future and a famous horse, it must be true! The future of this pony must be extremely bright and limitless!
It's like Steven's eye, it's incomparably sharp, and it's infallible!
Then, Ye Tian brought the Absolute Shadow in front of him and said to Sam and Jason:
"Let me solemnly introduce that this pony has a name, it is a Chinese name, called Jueying, a famous war horse from ancient China! Everyone can call it that in the future!"
"Wow, Steven, you got your name so quickly!
Sam said in surprise, and Jason was equally surprised.
Choosing a name for a horse is an important thing, and it's rare to make a decision so quickly!
They know the long history of China, and they don't know the famous war horses in ancient China, with this background, Ye Tian naturally comes easily!
"The name means that it is so fast that it can't even catch up with the shadow, and it can also be understood in this way, in the game, it can be so fast that the opponent can't even see the shadow, this is my expectation for the shadow!"
Ye Tian explained the meaning of the name, and by the way, he talked about the historical allusion to the name Jueying.
After listening to his explanation, Sam said in amazement:
"Awesome! This is probably one of the most historic names in the world of horse racing, and although it is a bit of a mouthful, it is good to get used to it.
I'll help you register with the Thoroughbred Association and the pedigree so that Shadow is truly the exclusive symbol of this foal!"
"Thank you, Sam, for doing your best thing! One more thing, I'm not going to have the Shadow outright, I'm going to give you 10% of the ownership and make you a co-owner."
Ye Tian thanked him, and then said something that shocked Sam and Jason.
"Ahh
Jason asked in surprise, very puzzled, but Sam was silent, he kind of understood Ye Tian's thoughts.
"I live in New York, I don't have a ranch or a horse, so I can't keep it in my apartment or in Central Park, right?
In that case, why should I do any more? Is there a better place to raise horses than Kentucky? Is there a better custodian than your ranch?
I'm going to put Jedi on your ranch and you will take care of it, so that I can rest assured that I'll bear all the expenses of Jedi, but I won't pay you a salary.
This 10% ownership is the reward, and at the same time, I have another layer of consideration, only the property that belongs to me, people will cherish it, and will do their best.
That's why I'm giving up the 10% ownership and letting Sam share the benefits, so that you can really treat Jueying as your own racehorse and take care of it!
In addition, the 10% interest is non-transferable, and if you try to transfer it, then it will be automatically forfeited, which will be reflected in the contract."
Ye Tian explained the reason again, and said it very thoroughly.
Some of the words may sound impersonal, but the truth is very clear, and both Jason and Sam understand it very clearly.
The scene was silent!
After thinking for a moment, Sam made a decision, he nodded to Ye Tian and said:
"Okay, Steven, I accept your offer to become the co-owner of the Shadow, which is the wisest and most reasonable decision.
You've got a great arrangement, and we'll take good care of him and make him a great thoroughbred racehorse!"
"I'm sure you're doing a good job, and I'm going to have the best trainers and jockeys in the country, as well as the best racehorse nutritionists, on your farm.
They are in charge of the training of the Shadow, and they will take care of the Shadow, and they must make it the most outstanding horse in the race, winning us countless prizes and honors.
The cost of hiring these professionals is still borne by me, as long as you cooperate with each other, and at the same time, you also have to play a supervisory role!"
Ye Tian smiled and threw out another bomb, almost knocking Jason and Sam unconscious.
"Steven, you're so bad! It looks like the Shadow is going to be a great horse, and I'm really looking forward to seeing how it performs!"
Sam said with emotion, and glanced at Jueying a few more times, his gaze getting hotter and hotter.
Maybe you might be a champion horse owner, albeit a small shareholder.
If there is such a day, it will be the brightest moment of my life.
Looking at Sam's longing expression, Ye Tian smiled softly, and then continued:
"I'm even more looking forward to it, Jueying is sure to be a great racehorse!"
While speaking, he still kept stroking the shadow under his hand.
Jueying enjoyed his touching very much, happily digging the grass there, or rubbing his head against Ye Tian, and snorting from time to time.
After a moment's pause, Sam said:
"Let's go back, it's almost lunchtime!"
Ye Tian nodded, smiled and said:
"Okay! Go back and sign the contract, I'll write you a check, and my lawyer is here today, just in time to handle these things on the spot!"
"That's great! Honestly, Steven, I really need money right now, and I'm going to pay off my bank loan, and you've done me a great favor!"
Sam waved his fist excitedly and said with a smile on his face.
At the same time, it was as if he had unloaded a huge burden, and his whole body became more radiant.
"I know this, Jason told me, I'm honored to be able to help you, it's called the right time, the best of both worlds!"
Ye Tian said with a smile, really happy for Sam.
After that, the three of them left the horse farm and walked towards the villa with a smile and a smile, and everyone was in a very happy mood.
Sam sold the bred yearling horse at a sky-high price, and all the problems were solved, and he made a lot of money, how could he not be happy?
Ye Tian harvested a famous horse with infinite potential, a living treasure, and what he paid was only 2 million US dollars! Naturally, he was very excited.
It was not only the three of them who returned to the villa, but there was also a tail behind them, and the absolute shadow bit Ye Tian's placket and followed him step by step.
Originally, Ye Tian didn't plan to take Jueying, but when he jumped out of the racecourse fence and was about to leave, Jieying immediately became anxious and began to hiss and jump constantly in the racecourse, trying to break out of the fence.
Seeing this situation, in order to avoid being injured by the Absolute Shadow, Ye Tian had no choice but to open the fence door, let the little guy come out, and follow him back to the villa!
Anyway, it's idle now, safe and worry-free, just let it follow!
