Zhan Chongyun: "Buying things isn't always the same..."
As Zhan Chongyun spoke, his voice grew softer and softer, his thoughts drifting to the horses belonging to the Shi Wen family.
He couldn't accept that he had to buy all the horses at once, and then return them to the Shi Wen family's ranch.
These horses are performing well, but what if they're not suited for big races?
What if only a few horses are suited for racing, while the others are not?
Or perhaps he simply can't find suitable riders to match these horses?
There are always unexpected things to come, and there's no need to rush into placing an order for such a large transaction.
It's fine to talk about it, since no one else is interested in the Shi Wen family's horses for the time being.
Thinking of this, Zhan Chongyun said to his son, "My darling, you're so smart. Mom's back, you two eat first. Dad's going upstairs to take care of some business."
The child licked the remaining chicken broth from his bowl and asked, "Dad, aren't you eating with us?"
Zhan Chongyun: "You guys eat first, Dad will eat later."
As he spoke, Zhan Chongyun hurriedly went to the study, picked up his phone, and Shi Wen the trial use of horses with Shi Wen.
Shi Wen looked at his new proposal and thought it was alright.
Doing business isn't a one-off transaction; there will be many more opportunities to do business together in the future. After considering it, Shi Wen agreed to his request and promised to rent him the horse to try it out first.
Shi Wen, "Mr. Zhan, which horse number would you like?"
Zhan Chongyun swallowed hard. "Number eight and number eleven, may I try out these two horses?"
Shi Wen, "Of course, no problem. You can drive over and pick it up tomorrow."
After a brief discussion, the two began to discuss the contract details.
This Shi Wen's first time trying to rent out horses, and he wasn't very familiar with the business. So he specially brought Baoye A Sai to help them draft the contract.
Of course, there are also rewards involved. After Baoye A Sai brought people over and helped facilitate the transaction, Shi Wen would give him about 3% commission according to the rules here.
They discussed for more than two hours. Not only did Zhan Chongyun miss his meal, Shi Wen also hadn't been able to eat for a long time.
Yan Kexing had prepared the meal and was waiting for him. Watching his bright eyes as he discussed contract after contract, he smiled and asked, "Is doing business fun?"
Shi Wen, "It's so much fun, much more fun than I imagined. We've rented out our horses, even though there are only two, but the business is on the right track."
Shi Wen the contract, Shi Wen said, "This year, our focus should be on horse breeding."
Shi Wen ran over and jumped onto Yan Kexing's back. "Just thinking about raising some decent horses this year sounds pretty exciting."
Yan Kexing: "Our horses are not only good, but one day they will become the best in the world."
Shi Wen laughed and said, "What I lack is this unwavering confidence."
Yan Kexing: "When you get used to success, you will gradually develop that confidence."
The two began their meal, and after finishing, they went over the draft contract again at the table and asked Yan Kexing for his advice.
Yan Kexing actually had some suggestions. He took the tablet and explained them to Shi Wen in detail, point by point, each of which was something Shi Wen hadn't considered before.
Shi Wen planned to go back to his study after dinner to revise it further and add the clauses suggested by Yan Kexing.
That's one of the advantages of having an experienced partner.
Information that cannot be found in books or online can be found by asking him. Even if he cannot obtain the information itself, he can find clues.
Shi Wen brought the revised contract over to Yan Kexing and asked for his advice again.
Yan Kexing said that Shi Wen would then take it to Zhan Chongyun and the others to discuss.
In this transaction, Shi Wen controlled the horses, giving him an absolute advantage and the highest authority to modify the contract. He presented a new version of the contract for discussion, and Zhan Chongyun had no objections.
Zhan Chongyun came over the next day to sign the contract and planned to transport the horses back.
Unexpectedly, during the journey, Shi Wen's horse was very uncomfortable leaving the pasture and clung to Shi Wen's clothes, not wanting to leave.
Shi Wen never expected that his horse would be so dependent on him, and helplessly managed to salvage the hem of his clothes.
He had just pulled one side of his clothes out when the other side was grabbed by the horse, which stubbornly refused to move.
The horse's eyes were round, big, and bright; Shi Wen into those eyes, one simply couldn't bear to hit it.
After going back and forth a few times, Shi Wen patted the horse's neck and said, "You go out to work, and come back when you're done. Be good, and if you behave well, we'll bring you hay from the pasture."
Both horses protested in unison, almost shaking their heads.
Shi Wen had no choice but to continue coaxing him.
Zhan Chongyun, standing nearby, was quite surprised. "Your horses are so smart; they actually understand emotions like parting."
Shi Wen, "It wasn't always this smart. It's become smarter and smarter after spending more time with other small animals, and its personality is becoming more and more distinct. Wait a moment, I'll calm them down."
Shi Wen that he's very experienced in calming horses, but this time it had little effect.
Once the horse realized it was time to leave, it rolled around and acted spoiled, refusing to go.
Horses do roll around, and they do it quite skillfully. They often roll around on the ground, rubbing their backs against the grass to scratch an itch or relax.
Today, two plump and strong horses were rolling around on the ground, looking like large Glutinous Rice Ball.
Shi Wen tried to poop several times but failed.
He had previously claimed that his horse was known for its good temperament, but he was proven wrong so quickly.
Shi Wen that it's mainly because I can't bear to pull too hard.
It's about time to send the horses out to work, and then they're violently dragged up and driven out. It feels a bit too scumbag.
