Chapter 1995 Horse Racing
Pinghai Institute of Biology.

Inside Yang Xiaohua's office.

Ye Yuan never expected this.

This Professor Yang actually gave me such a big surprise.

At the same time, Ye Yuan also felt very lucky.

Without mentioning anything else, let’s just talk about the Noitami material given here and the current fiber material technology.

It can completely offset all the investment you have made over such a long time.

Either of these two projects.

These are all good things that can be eaten for a lifetime.

Now two of them came out at once.

And the most important thing is that these are all added value.

Compared with the ultimate goal of the laboratory.

It's exactly like what was included.

This was something Ye Yuan had never thought of before setting up the laboratory.

It can be said that the laboratory constantly gives Ye Yuan surprises.

This gave Ye Yuan an illusion.

That is whether to increase investment in laboratories.

But he quickly suppressed this thought.

I don't really want to engage in industry.

My purpose is just to use the laboratory to extract those things that are beneficial to human longevity.

Ye Yuan doesn't want to do anything that puts the cart before the horse.

Although this is also very tempting.

But for Ye Yuan, the ultimate goal of the laboratory will not change.

"Nothing else, I'm going to do the experiment. Do you want to look at the information here by yourself, or go back?"

Yang Xiaohua knew that Ye Yuan would not be able to digest the contents of the information in a short period of time.

So he unceremoniously ordered them to leave.

Ye Yuan left the laboratory with a confused expression.

The subordinates in his two industries are really more unreasonable than each other.

Fang Rui is doing fine.

Because I had planned to resign before.

But what about this one?

You don't consider yourself the boss at all, okay?
Except when asking for money, I will think of myself.

Usually, if you don’t take the initiative to contact me.

It will never appear in front of you.

If Ye Yuan didn't know this person's character.

One might even suspect that he was hiding.

But seeing the information in my hand.

Ye Yuan's smile, which he could not suppress, bloomed on his face again.

He had already decided who would be in charge of handling the fiber.

There should be no more suitable company than Huangyuan Technology, right?
I believe in Leonard's technological reserves.

It shouldn't be difficult to turn the data in the materials into products.

After making the decision, Ye Yuan left the laboratory with brisk steps.

As for the funds that Yang Xiaohua mentioned before?

Haha, I was worried that the large amount of money transferred from Huangyuan Technology to the laboratory would attract the attention of the bank.

It's no longer needed.

With this information.

All transfers have become rationalized.

This was also the reason why Huangyuan Technology was rich but made Ye Yuan distressed.

. . . . . .

Austin-Bergstrom International Airport, Texas.

As the flight landed.

Ye Yuan got into a black Cherokee.

"Why are you here to pick me up this time?"

Seeing Nata sitting in the driver's seat, Ye Yuan asked with some confusion.

Every time he came to the ranch, it was Old John who came to pick him up.

Ye Yuan was a little surprised that Nata suddenly changed this time.

"Old John has been unable to work for the last month due to health reasons.

He is currently being treated at a Houston hospital.”

Nata motioned for Ye Yuan to fasten his seat belt.

He said as he started the car.

"Oh! This is really bad news."

Ye Yuan said in annoyance.

Although the time I spent in contact with Old John was not long.

But Ye Yuan still knew a little about this old cowboy.

This old cowboy has worked on the Kos Ranch for 40 years.

Nata's grandfather has been working here since his grandfather's time.

And the old man has no relatives.

It can be said that Nata and his brother at the ranch are his only relatives.

"Some of Old John's expenses can be counted towards the ranch. Please believe my sincerity on this point."

Ye Yuan looked at Nata and said.

Although the woman in front of him had a chip implanted in her.

There is absolutely no possibility of going against one's own ideas.

But in such small matters, Ye Yuan prefers to persuade people with emotion.

After all, even if a chip is implanted.

The other person is also a living person.

This is very different from the intelligent robots in one's own space.

Therefore, Ye Yuan prefers to interact with others in daily life.

Treat the other person as a human being.

It is precisely because of this that Ye Yuan is still very careful about many small things.

You also have to take the other person's emotions into consideration.

Nata was very grateful for this.

Although she and her brother can afford old John's medical expenses.

But there is Ye Yuan's words.

It also made her feel that her boss cared about her.

Nata knew very well why Ye Yuan said these words.

It's all for my own face.

Who said Old M doesn’t understand the ways of the world?
In fact, people not only understand, but also know it very well.

"Thank you!"

Nata knew that it was useless for her to say superficial polite words.

We can only repay this young master with better results.

Because of old John.

Ye Yuan also specially asked Nata to drive to the hospital where Old John was.

After visiting old John.

The two then drove back to the Kos Ranch they had been away from for a long time.

"Is everything going well at the ranch since I left last time?"

On the way, Ye Yuan asked the question that he was worried about before.

“Since those piranhas disappeared, the town has returned to its former tranquility.

And you are worried about the subsequent troubles.

It did not appear.”

Of course Nata knew what Ye Yuan was asking.

So I briefly introduced the situation of the town in the past few months.

After making sure everything was back to normal in the town.

Only then did Ye Yuan feel relieved.

He was really worried.

The capital that was retaliated by the Zhao family eventually set its sights on the ranch in the small town.

After all, no matter what, the cause of that incident was because of this small town.

And there is also my own shadow in that incident.

If the other party retaliates to the ranch, Ye Yuan will be helpless.

It seems that I was overthinking it before.

Ye Yuan shook his head with a wry smile.

He had no idea how angry the Zhao family was.

But now, just know that it has nothing to do with you.

Ye Yuan after returning to the ranch.

There was no time to rest and he went straight to the stable.

When Taxue saw his long-lost master.

Don’t even mention the excitement.

If it weren’t for Ye Yuan’s comfort.

He even suspected that the little guy would jump over the fence and rush straight to him.

Listen to the constant neighing of feet on the snow.

Ye Yuan was also in an exceptionally happy mood.

From a disabled foal, he was nurtured step by step into a racehorse that was about to take to the track.

The sense of accomplishment here.

It’s really hard for outsiders to imagine.

Gently stroke the snow-covered mane.

Only then did he calm down the restless little guy.

"How's the little guy doing?"

While comforting Taxue, Ye Yuan looked at Nata and asked.

“Very good, the preparations before the competition went smoothly.

And Taxue's mood and physical condition are also very stable."

Nata looked at Taxue lovingly and said with a hint of relief in her voice.

Her feelings for Taxue are no less than Ye Yuan's.

Even deeper than Ye Yuan, the real master.

After all, she was the first to discover Taxue, and that was the most important thing.

It was he who accompanied Taxue through the darkest period of its life.

Then it was she who gave Taxue meticulous care during the subsequent training and life.

It can be said that without Nata, there would be no Taxue.

As for Ye Yuan?

He was just a supplier of some life-giving water and feed.

It’s just that this supplier is irreplaceable.

If we really talk about the efforts made by Ye Yuan in Taxue, he can’t even catch up with Nata.

"That's good. It's up to you from now on."

Ye Yuan gently patted Taxue's neck.

The little guy seemed to understand the conversation between the two.

He raised his head and neighed in response.

. . . . . .

Louisville, Kentucky.

Churchill Downs Racetrack.

It has been open since 1875.

It has always been the host venue for the top horse race - the Kentucky Derby.

This is the huge spectator stand with its iconic spire shape.

It can accommodate 5 people to watch the game at the same time.

Plus there are spectators standing and watching the game in the non-seated area.

It can accommodate a total of 16 people.

The horse racing track, clubhouse, stables and memorial hall here are all famous far and wide.

But none of them is as famous as the local mint julep.

The Kentucky Derby is a famous horse racing event.

It is part of the M Country Triple Crown Tournament.

The event is usually held on the first Saturday in May every year.

The location is Louisville, Kentucky.

The Kentucky Derby is one of the most prestigious horse racing events in the world, attracting a large number of spectators and bets.
The Kentagib Derby is open to three-year-old thoroughbreds only.

The entire race is 2000 meters.

The race is over a one and a quarter mile (about 2012 meters) course and takes about two minutes.

Each horse carries the same weight during the race, 126 pounds.

Riders must weigh less than 126 pounds.

Kentucky Derby has strict age restrictions on participating horses.

That is, the age of the racehorses is three years old.

No matter what day your horse was born, it is all set on January 1st.

That is if your horse was born on December 12st.

I'm sorry, but on January 1 next year he will be one year old.

This is why you can attract countless horse owners to compete here, not just because of the popularity of the event.

There are also generous bonuses.

You know, if your horse can win the championship here.

Then the horse owner will receive a cash reward of 200 million yuan.

This is also a very lucrative income for many horse owners.

It is precisely because of the fame of the event that the local tourism industry has been boosted.

As a result, the city of Louisville attaches more importance to horse racing.

According to Nata, all schools in the city are closed the day before the competition.

During this period, every school, every community, has its own little parade and party.

There are more than 70 large-scale celebrations.

The biggest celebrations include the largest fireworks display in the United States and a huge balloon race between hot air balloonists.

It can be said that horse racing has become a very important local festival.

In this atmosphere, many foreign tourists will unconsciously join in.

Ye Yuan sat in the special viewing area provided by the organizer for horse owners.

This area is closer to the track than ordinary spectator seats.

This also makes it easier for these horse owners to see more clearly how their horses perform in the competition.

It must be said that this was Ye Yuan's first time watching a horse racing competition at such a close distance.

A week ago, Ye Yuan arrived here with the Kos Ranch team.

The reason why it is necessary to do so long in advance is that racehorses need to go through a quarantine and horse inspection process before the race.

Only when everything meets the standards of the event can the horse be allowed to step onto the track.

This process is so tedious that it cannot be completed in a day or two.

So many horse owners do this to avoid accidents.

Usually, people will transport their beloved horses to the competition venue a week in advance.

Although Ye Yuan knew that as long as he was there, there would be no problems in stepping on the snow.

But when in Rome, do as the Romans do, and he also wanted to experience the fun of horse racing throughout the whole process.

So he wouldn't care about this week.

During this week, Ye Yuan walked almost every street in Louisville.

This is a city with a population of only 70 and an urban area of ​​1032 square kilometers.

Such a land area and such a population size are simply unimaginable in China.

Maybe many people have no idea about these.

To put it another way, it is like throwing the population of a county-level city into a second-tier city.

Can you imagine such an outcome?

This might be one of the most sparsely populated cities Ye Yuan has ever visited.

After a few days of traveling.

Ye Yuan had a deeper understanding of this city.

It is located in north-central Kentucky, just across the river from Indiana.

It is a major port city on the south bank of the Ohio River.

This was something Ye Yuan had not thought of before he came.

It can be said that this place gave Ye Yuan a different travel experience.

Sitting in the spectator seats, I recalled what I saw and heard in Louisville these days.

Even Ye Yuan had to admit it.

I really like the atmosphere here.

Especially in the days leading up to the race, the horse racing atmosphere is everywhere in the city.

It made Ye Yuan linger.

The prosperity of spinach has even affected Ye Yuan, who has vowed never to gamble again.

I was also itching to go on a snowy trip, so I bought a 10-yuan gold ticket.

Although Ye Yuan did not understand his opponent's situation like other horse owners.

But out of faith in walking on snow and the fountain of life.

Ye Yuan didn't think that in Taxue's first race, there would be any horse that could win the championship in front of it.

This is also where Ye Yuan is most confident.

As the broadcast sounded.

The situation of each racehorse began to be introduced at the competition field.

As the broadcast ended.

The racehorse, under the control of the rider, has already stood at the starting point.

There were over 100,000 people in the audience.

At this moment, Tourmaline was focused.

There was a brief silence in the stadium.

Accompanied by the sound of the starting gun.

Smash the door open.

The racehorses rushed out like arrows.

As the racehorse rushed out, the top was suddenly pushed to a high point.

The entire Churchill Downs Racecourse was suddenly filled with noise.

Cheers, curses, and occasional cheers in various languages.

Even Ye Yuan, who was experiencing the situation himself, couldn't help but feel his heart tighten.

At this moment, he has blocked out all the noise from the outside world.

A pair of eyes were all fixed on Taxue.

I don’t know if it’s a problem of getting along with the rider.

At the start, Taxue did not take the lead as Ye Yuan had expected and directly secure the leading advantage.

At this moment, Taxue is only in the third position.

Perhaps this is already a good ranking for other horse owners.

But for Ye Yuan and Taxue.

That's not enough.
