Chapter 462 Cultivate Your Own Horse Breed

"Sharma?" Ju An turned to his old father-in-law and asked.

Marcos nodded and explained to the son-in-law next to him: "The blood is not very pure, but this mane has been preserved. A real Sharma can reach two meters at the shoulder, weigh more than one ton, and can pull five tons. This horse just retains the general appearance of a Shire horse, it should be a crossbreed heavy draft horse, and it is probably ready to win the Best Fashion Award, but it is far behind in terms of speed."

When the old father-in-law mentioned the shoulder height of two meters, Ju An was a little dazed when he heard it. The shoulder height is two meters and the weight is more than one ton?Depend on!This is simply a small tank in the middle of the horse. My buddy really likes it.

After staring at the big snow-white horse in the field for a while, the race began. Sure enough, as Marcos said, the speed of the beautiful tall white horse is really not very good. After running a few steps, he fell into the hands of other horses. Later, when all the other horses reached the finish line, this horse had only run more than half of it.

Then I watched a few games, and even Old Taylor participated in the race with a sled. The horse that Old Taylor was driving was an American pinto horse. It started well and there was a glitch in the middle, and the horse ran into the side with the sled. out of the game.

When it was the turn of the old father-in-law Marcos to play, the family of course cheered enthusiastically. As soon as the starting gun fired, Marcos shook the reins, and the brown Quarter rushed out immediately. The distance was maintained until the end, and Marcos advanced in this group.

But the luck of the old man ran out in the semi-finals. He collided with another sled, hit the haystack beside the track like Taylor, and withdrew from the race.

Ju An watched the old father-in-law come back leading the horse, and quickly said: "This time I'm not lucky, come back next year."

Marcos smiled and waved to his son-in-law: "It's like this in all competitions. Besides, we didn't get nothing today. Nini even won a trophy."After finishing speaking, he touched the horse's head next to his shoulder: "It's really a good horse, but it's a pity that I have too little time to cooperate with him, and I didn't understand a movement just now. When I come back next year, I plan to follow him two months earlier. If he practices, his grades may be much better.”

"Then you can take him home, it doesn't matter if you train him for a year." Ju An looked at Marcos with a smile and continued: "Anyway, it's in my ranch and no one rides it now. You take it back and give it back." Let me save some fodder!"

Mother-in-law Melina smiled at Ju An and said, "When I take them back home, the fodder must be taken from your pasture~! Who doesn't know that the grass in your pasture is the best."

"Okay! Okay! Take whatever you want." Ju An said with a smile: "Our game is over, now go home?"

Marcos patted the horse's head: "Well! Go home, let's celebrate our Nini winning the championship today."The said girl cheered loudly while holding her own small trophy.

When the whole family returned home, they naturally had a good meal at noon. In the afternoon, Ju An checked the paint of the tree house, sat in the study, and turned the pen in his hand. What happened to the figure of the huge white horse in his mind? I can't forget it, it's like a pervert seeing a beautiful woman, and if I don't get it, I will feel so uncomfortable that I will die.

Then I realized that this horse is a bit too tall. Even with a shoulder height of 1.8 meters, it is not easy for an adult to climb on the horse's back. It is better to be shorter. The height of naughty boys is a bit high now. , with a shoulder height of 1.7 meters [-], it would take a lot of time for most people to climb on their backs without help.

After thinking about it in my mind, I suddenly had an idea!Depend on!Dude, what is this ink mark? It would be good to cultivate a horse breed yourself, eh!The process of cultivating a horse breed is very slow, it will take at least a few decades, but it should take 20 years for my buddy to help me. In 20 years, eight or nine generations of horses will be born. By then, my own horse breed should at least be finalized After thinking about it, Juan grabbed the paper next to him and wrote down the requirements of the horse breed, long mane on the knees, well-developed mane and tail hair, strong body, thick and strong legs, not like Thoroughbred horses are too squeamish, anyway, it's just two words: good-looking!Riding it should make people feel cool.

After roughly writing it down, Ju An opened the business card book from the drawer. Originally, the business cards were placed on the bedside of her bedroom. Finally, Dinah couldn't stand it anymore, so she bought some business card books for Ju An, and put the business cards in the book. I sorted them all out and put them in a drawer in Ju'an's study.

Opened the book related to the ranch in the business card book, and quickly found the business card of the livestock broker. After looking at the number, Ju An picked up the phone on the table and dialed it. After thinking twice, Ju An got connected. He said, "Hello! I'm Ann from Xishuihe Ranch."

"Mr. Ju! We haven't been in touch for a few years, why do you intend to sell your cattle?" There was a hearty laugh on the other end of the phone, and the voice of the broker who helped Ju'an buy the first batch of cattle was still So rough.

"Not this! I want to buy some horses," Ju An said into the phone.

"What kind of horse to buy? Don't you have Quarters in your ranch? Even if it's a good thoroughbred, who can beat a naughty bag?".

"I want to buy some mixed-breed Sharmas! They should not be too tall, and the shoulder height should not exceed 1.8 meters five. They must have well-developed mane, mane and tail hair, and they must be of the same color, and they must be beautiful. , as far as this requirement is concerned, of course it won’t work if the price is too outrageous.”

"It's not hard to find this one, how many are you going to buy?".

Ju An tapped lightly on the table with a pen in his hand, a few horses won't work!Buy dozens of horses at a time and run in the ranch: "It's not just a few horses, I'm going to buy forty or fifty horses!"

"Forty or fifty horses?" The other end of the phone was stunned for a moment: "This kind of horse can't do anything except pull things! Forget it, I won't ask you anymore, are you sure it's forty or fifty horses?" ?”.

"I'm sure!" Ju An replied with a smile, and jokingly said, "If you want a good-looking horse, you need three or four male horses, no more than five horses at most, and the rest need mares."

"Then you have to find this one all over the United States, and the price is a little higher, about [-] US dollars per horse."

"Don't worry about [-] dollars. I'll give you [-] dollars as long as it's a good-looking horse. If it doesn't meet my requirements, I won't have a penny."

"Don't worry about that, I'm sure you'll be satisfied." Hearing that a horse worth [-] yuan, the other end of the phone immediately laughed happily. It's worth running a horse worth [-] yuan across the United States. A random horse here in the United States That's a few hundred dollars, and Ju'an doesn't want a purebred Sharma, the price of a Chongwan horse is at most two or three times more expensive than an ordinary horse, and the requirements are high?Ten thousand dollars a horse is of course so much to ask for!

Having settled on the breed of horses, Ju An rubbed his chin and began to fantasize that after these horses were bought, Dougao could also be bred, and the foals born at that time would continue to be mated with well-developed manes. After several generations, The long mane blows with the wind, so it's not to mention how beautiful it is.

After deciding on the matter of the horse, a few more days passed by at home, and the Christmas holidays of ordinary families were over. During this time, Wang Fan’s family also came back from New York. Ju An and Wang Fan were going to take their daughter-in-law to the event. Wu Ming's happy housewarming.

After finishing the meal, Ju An pushed away the bowls and chopsticks and prepared to go to the biological company to have a look, and met some new scientists on the way. Norman called last night, saying that several animal husbandry scientists had arrived. He has already settled down, let Ju An go to meet him in the afternoon.

He drove his own car to the gate of the biological company, and now he felt a bit like a company. There was a brand new concierge at the old gate. When he came in, Ju An stretched out his head to greet the guard. It was an old man in the town. The walls of the warehouse were painted gray. The few windows that leaked air before and the rest of the old windows were replaced with new ones. The big warehouse gave Ju'an a completely new look.

Pushed open the door and went inside to have a look, oh!The ground is now covered with non-slip brown floor tiles. When you enter the door, you will see a coffee shop with a coffee machine, an electric stove for roasting things, and a microwave oven.

Not far from the coffee shop are wooden partitions more than two meters high. The partitions are covered with large pieces of frosted glass, and the figures inside can be vaguely seen. There is only a two-and-a-half-meter aisle in the middle of the warehouse. There is a white gate in the distance, and there is a stone wall over there. Ju An took a look and estimated that the area behind the white wall should occupy more than one-third of the area.

Unlike domestic companies, the roofs are all ceilings, and the warehouses are all empty. You can see pipes of different thicknesses one by one, and the central air-conditioning openings are neatly arranged on the roof.

Seeing Ju An walking in and looking around, one of Norman's graduate students came over: "BOSS! Professor Norman is still in his office. I didn't know you came so early. I'll take you there."

Seeing that the graduate student in front of him was still holding a coffee cup, he probably came out of the compartment to pour coffee.Ju An smiled and nodded to the graduate students. The reason why it is called Ju An BOSS is because these professors, including the few graduate students they lead, have become the first batch of employees of the institute, which means that Ju An paid the salary.

Following the graduate student, he arrived at the door of a partition. The graduate student just wanted to knock on the door, but was stopped by Ju An: "Go and do your work, I'll just knock on the door myself."

The graduate student smiled at Ju An, then turned around and walked away. Ju An reached out and knocked on the door twice: "Norman! I'm Ann, can I go in?".

"Come in." Hearing Norman's voice from inside, Ju An pushed the door open and walked in.Now Norman has one more name: the general manager of Xishuihe Biological Company.Only Norman and Leonard were qualified, and Leonard, an old man, was afraid of trouble, so Norman had to take up the burden.

Norman stood up from behind the table: "Why are you here so early, I thought you wouldn't be here until one past two."

"Haven't you had lunch yet?" Ju An sat down on the chair next to him and asked Norman with a smile.

"We eat at 11:30".After finishing speaking, he looked at the following watch: "It has been four or ten minutes."

"I see that the warehouse has been changed, and it really feels good! It doesn't look like it used to at all," Ju An said to Norman with a smile.
