There is a bar in Houhai

Chapter 552 Los Angeles

In addition to being the horse trainer of Chocolate and Chiyan, Johnson Reid also served as the general manager of the ranch. He felt very ashamed of last year's losses, but Qin Mohan did not blame him.Instead, ask him to find out if there are any female horses with good qualifications, buy one or two back, and wait until Chocolate comes out in the future to improve the genes of the offspring.

"I will pay attention to this. Every year there will be foals listed and traded in various ranches in Kentucky. I will let you know if I find a suitable one."

Johnson Reid nodded, and he also agreed with Qin Mohan's approach. If a ranch wants to develop for a long time, it is impossible to rely on only one or two horses for support.

"Sister, should we transport these two ponies to Huaxia?" Qin Ruoxi pointed to the two ponies under one year old in the stable.

This is a young foal born by two Arabian horses in the racecourse in May 14. It is also the offspring of the wild monkey, and it is the seed sown by the wild monkey before going to China.

The gestation period of a horse is very long, up to 11 months. The purebred foal promised to Shen Lei last time is still in the womb of the mare, and the breeding period is around the Spring Festival.Recently, Shen Lei often spends time at the racecourse, and has found the best veterinarian to give him a prenatal checkup.

Qin Mohan shook his head: "Two ponies will be born at the Shanghai racecourse soon, plus the wild monkey and the earl, and there will be a place for Momo during the offseason. Now we can't raise so many ponies."

Jin Yaran suggested from the side: "Sister-in-law, can you transport it to Yanjing? Teacher Xue Guo's horse farm is very large, and there are many spare stables. You can rent two stables to feed them."

"Teacher Xue? I have to ask your brother about this, and ask him to contact Teacher Xue." They once went to Xue Guo's racecourse with Shen Fang. Xue Guo's racecourse was bigger than Qin Mohan's, but it was slightly off. Some.

Several people rushed to Louisville from the morning, and played here until the afternoon before returning to the winery. Shen Fang was contacting DHL to help send the wine back to China.

Qin Ruoxi and Jin Yaran ran back and forth in the winery and wine cellar curiously, Qin Mohan hugged Shen Fang, and stood beside him to see the list he was handling.

Some friends' drinks will be shipped directly to each other's home, and it will not be a simple bottle or two, basically a small six-pack, fixed with solid wood and foam.Among the newly added drinking buddies, Mr. Ma from Ali and Ma Huateng from Goose Factory want to send some good wines with better vintages.After thinking about it, I mailed a box to each of Bill Gates, Buffett, Mark Zuckerberg and Mr. Trump who gave gifts at their wedding.

"It's really a big loss. Originally, two bottles per person could send them away, but now I have to lose one box."

Seeing Qin Mohan approaching, Shen Fang handed her a cup of hot cocoa. Looking at the weather, it is estimated that Kentucky is about to snow.Shen Fang has already arranged for Gu Yali to contact the route and prepare to fly to Los Angeles.

"Don't forget to send one to Susu. Her family has helped a lot in our wedding."

"It's already been arranged. Two pieces from [-], let her give one box to her father and one box to her elder brother." Shen Fang nodded, and asked Qin Mohan, "Did they have a good time at the racecourse? How is the chocolate doing? "

"It's too cold, and Xiaofeng is like a knife. The two of them gave up after riding a lap." Qin Mohan shook his head: "Chocolate is still good, but there are too many talented thoroughbreds here, and the performance of Chocolate Some things are not as good as they should be.”

Shen Fang nodded and said, "It can't be helped, its maternal genes are a bit poor."

"So I arranged for Johnson to go to the market to see if there are any mares with good qualifications, buy one or two, and help improve the genes."

Shen Fang has no objection to Qin Mohan's arrangement. The investment in the racecourse needs to be continued. Only through continuous improvement of genes can we cultivate better offspring.After all, ponies like "Sea Biscuit" and "Dancer of the North" are rare.

"By the way, there are two ponies with average qualifications in the racecourse, they are not yet one year old. Erya and Yaran like them very much. I decided to give them to them. I want to transport them to Yanjing. Please ask Mr. Xue about it. Can the horse farm be fostered?"

"You have been to Mr. Xue's racecourse too. The area is large, but the facilities are not very professional. There is not even a professional standard track. I am afraid that these two horses will be raised and useless."

"Okay, I'll reject them both." Qin Mohan looked at the two girls who came out of the wine cellar, and was about to go up to them, Shen Fang thought for a while, and pulled her back.

"How about this, let's take care of Mr. Xue's horse farm for a while, and we will build a horse farm in Yanjing. The horse farm in Shanghai is a bit small. Let it be played by Brother Lei in the future. After its foal is born, it needs a suitable one. venue."

"Brother, are you talking about the pony?" Jin Yaran, who came over, asked excitedly after hearing the end of the sentence.

Shen Fang looked at the excited Jin Yaran, and then suddenly remembered that he didn't seem to have given this sister any presents yet, so let's give her a pony.

"Yes, let's foster at Uncle Xue's horse farm first, and then buy a piece of land in Yanjing to build a big horse farm so that you and Ruoxi's pony can run freely."

"Ah, that's great! Thank you brother, thank you sister-in-law!"

Shen Fang's proposal made the two little girls hug each other excitedly and cheered up and down.

In the evening, Shen Fang contacted Xue Guo. At this time, he was practicing with his apprentices, and he was surprised when he received a call from Shen Fang.

"Uncle Xue, I sent you a box of whiskey, and it will arrive in about a week."

"Oh, thank you, when you know Yanjing, we two have a good drink."

"I will invite you then." Shen Fang said, "Uncle Xue, I may need to trouble you for something."

"Hehe, it seems that this wine is not taken for nothing." Xue Guo smiled and said jokingly: "Tell me, what's the matter? It must not be a trivial matter that makes you open your mouth. If it is difficult, I will pretend that I didn't hear it."

"It's not too difficult. I'm going to buy a piece of land in Yanjiao and build a racecourse. Now the domestic approval of the racecourse requires the consent of your horse association. Isn't it convenient to find you?"

With Shen Fang's strength, it is relatively easy to buy land in China, and you can buy it in Miyun, Daxing, and Langfang. However, the state's approval of the nature of land use is relatively cumbersome, including the handling of horse racing qualification certificates.It is convenient to ask the insiders of the Horse Association to help with these matters.

Although there are quite a few racecourses in China, few of them actually have official certificates.Informal racecourses are not eligible to participate in international competitions, so Shen Fang is still going to take the formal way to handle it.

Xue Guo promised Shen Fang that he would definitely help him with it, but he only hoped that Shen Fang could sell him a thoroughbred horse in the future, and he also wanted to play high-end horse racing.

This matter is relatively easy for Xue Guo. He is an old batch of players in the country, and he is familiar with everyone. He just needs to sell some favors.Moreover, the people from the horse association have long wanted to bring Shen Fang in, so that it will be more convenient whether it is to engage in domestic competitions or to improve the genes of stallions in the future.

Early the next morning, everyone in Shen Fang bid farewell to old Jack, and will go to Los Angeles. A party will be held the day after tomorrow. This was decided more than a month ago, and there are still a few days before the 57th Grammy Awards The Staples Stadium, home of the Los Angeles Lakers, will not be delayed.

Shen Fang looked at the old Jack's hesitant expression, thought for a while and said, "Jack, we're going to Los Angeles. Is there anything you need to bring to Megan?"

Old Jack was overjoyed when he heard Shen Fang's words, and was deeply moved by Shen Fang's understanding.He entrusted Shen Fang to bring a small solid wood box to Megan Hart, which contained a jewelry box left by Megan's parents before their death. Megan was afraid of seeing things and thinking about others, so she didn't bring them.Old Jack still hoped that Shen Fang would take this box with Meghan, and go out alone, even if he had some valuables with him, it would be ready for emergencies.

As if to see them off, on the morning they left Kentucky, there was a blizzard in Kentucky.Shen Fang and Qin Mohan, who had already arrived in Los Angeles, looked at the report and rejoiced. If they didn't leave today, they would probably be stopped by heavy snow. I don't know if the award ceremony will be delayed.

The United States has a great geographical advantage. Due to the long and narrow terrain of the American continent, the United States is located in the middle of the Pacific Ocean and the Atlantic Ocean, which also contributed to the development of the east and west coasts of the United States.

The Bay Area is one of the important representatives, and Los Angeles is the largest city in the west of the United States and the second largest city in the United States, known as the "City of Angels".It is the economic, cultural and entertainment center on the west coast of the United States. Although it is gradually surpassed by the Bay Area where San Francisco is located in terms of high-tech, it still maintains its status in the United States.

Shen Fang and his party did not stay at the Los Angeles Hotel at Wangjiang Terrace, but at the Hollywood Roosevelt Hotel.

Outside the door of this hotel is the famous Avenue of Stars, and across the road is the Huaxia Grand Theater with the names and handprints of major movie stars printed on the courtyard floor.One of the reasons for staying in this hotel is that Shen Fang will hold a party in this hotel the night after tomorrow. Many Hollywood celebrities and powerful figures from many film and television companies will be invited. Such a party will be held in Chinatown. Wangjiangtai Hotel is not suitable.

This hotel and the Roosevelt Clubhouse in Shanghai are all owned by the Roosevelt family. Many people have the impression that this family produced two famous American presidents. In fact, this family is also famous in the business field.Most of the real estate from 22nd Street to 46th Street in Manhattan, from Fifth Avenue to the Hudson River in New York City was once owned by the Roosevelt family.It's just that with the passage of time, the family has gradually converted their assets into trust funds for management, and the global chain of Roosevelt hotels is one of them.

The oceanic climate of Los Angeles is more comfortable than that of San Francisco. Although it is the coldest season of the year, the temperature is around [-] degrees.After getting off the plane, the comfortable body feeling made everyone put away the heavy down jackets and replaced them with thin cashmere sweaters.

"Fortunately, we left Kentucky early in the morning, otherwise we might be blocked by heavy snow at the airport today." After checking in at the hotel, Qin Mohan lay on the big bed without even unpacking his luggage. The tight-fitting cashmere sweater perfectly matched her The figure is outlined.

Seeing the alluring Qin Mohan showing his towering height, Shen Fang just wanted to reach out and caress Qin Mohan's body, but he frowned, and hastily withdrew his hand.

Sure enough, within two seconds, Qin Ruoxi and Jin Yaran directly opened the door and came in: "Brother-in-law, I heard from Sister Lin that you can see the ghost of Marilyn Monroe in this hotel?"

"Mr. Shen, I'm sorry, we're just talking casually..." Before Shen Fang could ask the two girls, Gu Yali followed behind, and Lin Jiayue and Li Xiangwan, who looked anxious, apologized to Shen Fang and Qin Mohan .

Qin Mohan frowned, slightly displeased, but seeing the expressions of Gu Yali and Lin Jiayue, he also knew that their words must have been unintentional.Qin Mohan blamed Qin Ruoxi directly: "Last time I told you to knock on the door before entering, why did you just push the door and barge in like this?"

Looking at the sullen Qin Mohan, the excited little faces of Qin Ruoxi and Jin Yaran froze instantly, and they bowed their heads to Qin Mohan and said, "Sister (sister-in-law), we must pay attention next time."

Qin Mohan still wanted to get angry, but was stopped by Shen Fang. He called a few people to the living room outside and asked Lin Jiayue, "Who did you hear that you can see the ghost of Marilyn Monroe here?"

Lin Jiayue looked a little panicked, she said "na na" to Shen Fang, and then Gu Yali helped her explain: "Jiajia is usually a little playful, and also likes to know the tourist attractions of the destination in advance, so I checked it online , It is said on the Internet that this is one of the top ten weird hotels in the world.”

"Mr. Shen, I really didn't mean to tell Miss Qin and Miss Jin. It was just that Xiang Wan asked me if there were any interesting places nearby, so I said it casually, and they heard it."

Shen Fang smiled: "There are really rumors about this hotel on the Internet. You found them all, just pay attention next time. The two of them are still young, and they are a little curious."

"Well, I'll pay attention." Seeing that Shen Fang wasn't too angry, Lin Jiayue let out a sigh of relief.

"Shen Fang, there's no real weird incident happening in this hotel, right?" Qin Mohan, who was on the side knowing what happened, looked at Shen Fang in disbelief.
