Chapter 26: A Big Deal

  Chen Yi drove home in a daze and opened the door.

  "Back so soon?!" Chen Yi's mother asked her daughter in surprise.

  "Are you done shopping?!" The daughter found it a bit strange, which was a mother's intuition.

  Chen Yi nodded listlessly with dull eyes.

  "What's wrong?!" Chen Yi's mother stroked her daughter's head with a thousand hands "Not hot, ah! How much did that friend of yours want for the general's robe?" Chen Yi asked casually.

  Chen Yi did not respond and was in a daze.

  "Why aren't you saying anything? Where's the card?" Chen Wei's mother asked, her card was bound to her mobile phone, if there were any transfers, she should have received a text message notification, but now she still hasn't received one.

  "Give it to him!" Chen Yi retorted.

  "Did she give it to him?! Chen Wei's mother was puzzled. What's going on? That card has 50 million in it! It's her year-end bonus from the company, and even if a general wore an emperor's robe, it wouldn't be worth this much money. Has my daughter gone crazy?!"

  Chen Yi didn't make any excuses, but instead pulled her mother into the garage and opened the trunk.

  Suddenly, a burst of golden light flashed, and Chen Yi's mother was also stunned. Although her family was wealthy, she and her husband had their own careers, and her parents were also people with status, but she really hadn't seen the sight of 500 kilograms of gold in front of her before.

  Kaneko, at a glance, the entire trunk of the car was packed with gold bars.

  "These are what he gave me, asking me to help him exchange for cash. Since he was in urgent need, I lent him the 50 million card first!"

  "What kind of person is your classmate?!"

  One sleepless night, Chen Yi was shocked by the large amount of gold, while her mother was thinking about where the gold came from. Her family didn't lack money, and although 500 kilograms of gold were dazzling, they couldn't move her heart. She was worried that her daughter had made some improper friends, and wondered where this batch of gold came from - whether it was stolen or looted from a tomb.

  If that's the case, Chen Yi might be willing to help this time for her daughter's sake, but next time she'll definitely keep her daughter away from this friend.

  Liu Meng was also sleepless for the same night. He only had three days, and he needed to rush to Shandong on horseback, rush to the horse farm to purchase horses, and find a way to place orders for helmets and knives.

  So Liu Meng went back to school and got the 50 million card that Chen Yi gave him, then he dragged his friend who had a horse farm at home to buy plane tickets overnight and flew to Shandong.

  Shandong, Liu Mang just got off the plane and was in a hurry to get to the horse farm.

  The domestic flight arrived quickly in the morning, and by noon, Liu Mang had arrived at Chen Yu's home.

  Chen Yu's father can be considered a large-scale breeder, with thousands of horses, cattle and sheep under his management, as well as several thousand sheds. In the Shandong breeding industry, he is already a giant figure.

  "Dad, Mom, I'm back!" Chen Yu's home was a three-story small building next to the breeding area, built in a Western style, which had a unique flavor in this dozen-mile breeding farm.

  "Xiao Yu?!" A middle-aged woman walked out of the house, Chen Yu's family had always been in the breeding business, his father was the one who did it, and his mother was just an ordinary housewife.

  "How did you come back?!" His mother looked at her son with concern and asked.

  "This time I came back because of my classmate, he wanted to buy a few horses to play with!" Chen Yu explained that his relationship with Liu Mao was originally ordinary, but Chen Yu was also quite enthusiastic, especially after Liu Mao gave him an Apple phone, he became even more enthusiastic towards Liu Mao.

  "Is there a friend? Come in and sit down quickly!" Chen Yu's mother ignored the matter of buying a horse, and instead directly entertained Liu Mang.

  "No, no, Auntie, I'm in a hurry and want to go check out the horse track now!" Liu Mang didn't want to stay at Chen Yu's house any longer, this one visit could possibly take up half a day.

  "So urgent, okay! Chen Yu's dad is also at the horse farm right now, let Chen Yu take you there since he knows the way! I still have to cook, don't forget to come back for lunch!" A mother is always the most enthusiastic towards her returning child.

  Under Chen Yu's leadership, Liu Mang and the others went to the horse farm.

  As soon as he arrived at the horse farm, Liu Mang was a bit stunned. It was different from his imagination of thousands of horses galloping freely. The horses here were all raised in captivity, and even the exercise area was only a few miles in range.

  But what's even more important is that there are less than 500 horses here in total, and he wants to buy 5,000.

  "Chen Yu, are you sure your family is a big aquaculture household in Shandong?" Liu Mang asked suspiciously.

  "Of course!" Chen Yu replied without hesitation. "In Shandong, there are only about a dozen large-scale breeding farms that can cover tens of miles, while the rest are small-scale breeding farms that can only raise poultry and the like."

  "How did you little brat come back?!" A middle-aged man looked very similar to Chen Yu, and Liu Mang knew that this was Chen Yu's father.

  "Didn't you learn your lesson? Is there no school? Or have you gotten into some kind of trouble again?" Father was father, with a little less motherly kindness and a bit more paternal severity.

  "Dad, why do you always see me as a child who can't grow up!" Chen Yu's face was a bit embarrassed, being scolded by his old man in front of his classmates, he was an adult after all and had some temper.

  "Hum, little rabbit, in my eyes you will always be like that!"

  "Alright, alright, I won't argue with you! Today I came back to accompany my classmate, he wants to buy a few horses to play!" Chen Yu and his old father were both speechless. He's already 22 years old, for goodness' sake! Some of his original classmates are even married now, but his father still treats him like a mischievous child.

  "Buy a horse?!" Chen Yu's father, Chen De, looked at Liu Mang with a hint of complaint and said "You didn't even tell me your classmate was coming! Classmate, are you here to buy a horse?"

  "Uncle, my surname is Liu and my name is Mao, just call me Little Liu!" Liu Mao responded.

  "Hey, Little Liu!" he called out twice, feeling it roll off his tongue smoothly. Chen De then directly asked, "Which horse are you preparing to buy? A hot-blooded horse?! A warm-blooded horse or a cold-blooded horse?"

  "Huh?!" Liu Mang was confused. This breed of horse still had such a category, didn't they all belong to mammals? Were there also cold-blooded ones?

  Seeing Liu Mang's puzzled expression, Chen De smiled and said, "Let's go! I'll introduce you around!"

  Three people walked towards the horse racing field.

  "Little Liu, look, all the horses here were personally brought back by Uncle and raised from young foals to adulthood, and then they give birth to little horses!" Chen De pointed at each of the stables, where he knew every single horse inside.

  After Chen De's explanation, Liu Man seemed to understand a little. There are more than 300 breeds of horses in the world if they are carefully divided.

  Horses can be divided into: riding horses (light horses) and draft horses (heavy horses, also known as carriage horses).

  Horses can be divided into: hot-blooded horses (intelligent, fast, suitable for racing, but poor in physique and endurance, strong personality, not suitable for leisure riding), warm-blooded horses ( gentle, intelligent, suitable for various competitive horses and leisure riding horses) and cold-blooded horses (strong and powerful, suitable for carriage driving and farm work).

  Liu Mang didn't know what kind of horse was needed for cold weapon combat. Was it the high explosive power of a hot-blooded horse or the high endurance of a warm-blooded horse?

  "Uncle, I want a hot-blooded horse and a warm-blooded horse!" Liu Mang didn't know, so he bought both. When they arrived at Kaiyang, let Old Master Lü choose for himself.

  "Here, I have a young Arabian horse that has just grown up, it's a hot-blooded horse, you can buy it. The Mongolian horse is not bad either, the age is just right! You are a classmate of that little brat, the Arabian horse will cost you 15,000 yuan, and the Mongolian horse I'll give to you as a gift!" Chen De then accepted the cost price.

  "Good, I want both your Arabian horse and Mongolian horse!!" Liu Meng said something that almost scared Chen De to death.

  "What?! You want all of them?!" Chen De's eyes widened in disbelief as he stared at Liu Mang. This horse farm had no less than 100 pure-blood Arabian horses, and over 200 Mongolian horses. The Arabian horses were worth 15,000 each, and the Mongolian horses were worth 5,000 each. That was a transaction of over 30 million!

  "Yes, uncle, I'll take it all!" Liu Mang said with a smile "This is the down payment" Before coming, Liu Mang had withdrawn 100,000 yuan in cash from the bank and put it on himself.

  "Hey, Liu Mang, aren't you being foolish? Why are you buying so many horses? My dad has over 300 of the horses you want here. Do you really plan on buying all of them?" Chen Yu was also stunned. Although he didn't know what Liu Mang's family did, normally speaking, Liu Mang didn't seem like someone from a wealthy and noble family. Buying over 300 horses made him wonder if Liu Mang wanted to start his own horse farm? In that case, shouldn't he be buying younger horses instead?

  "I'm not crazy! Uncle, do you have any other connections with breeding farms? I don't just want to buy this little bit, I need 2,500 pure-blood Arabian horses and 2,500 Mongolian horses!" Liu Meng threw out another bombshell, leaving Chen De dazed and stunned!

  "Two thousand five hundred Arabian horses? And Mongolian horses? What are you trying to do? Go to war?! Chen De muttered to himself, actually he was right, these horses were indeed prepared for battle, only not in this world."

  Before coming, Liu Mang had already prepared a draft of boasting and smiled, saying "Uncle, have you heard of Ma Wang?"

  "King of Horses?!" Besides making a living, horse breeders have another point - they love horses. The legend of the King of Horses makes those who love horses unstoppable.

  "What was that?!" Chen De seemed to have guessed something.

  "That's right! We'll take these five thousand horses back. Just want to let them graze freely, let them multiply on their own. What we want is the king among these horses! As long as there is one, we can use it for racing and we'll make a fortune! A big fortune!" Liu Mang said with a red face from lying, but Chen De, who loved horses, believed him.

  "Alright, I'll help you contact them. Two thousand five hundred pure-blood Arabian horses and two thousand five hundred Mongolian horses!" Chen De said with a serious nod.

  "Are you crazy? Are you all crazy? Spending 500 million to buy a horse king? Do people really have so much money that they don't know where to spend it?" In Chen Yu's opinion, 500 million could buy the world's top racing car. This thing is way more awesome than a horse! What can horses do? They can't even be driven on roads now.

  "Alright, Uncle, please give me an account number and I'll transfer the money to you. Please help me raise funds as soon as possible because I'm in a hurry!" Chen De gave a string of numbers, Liu Mao used his computer to complete the transfer procedures, 5 million yuan for 50,000 war horses. Chen De said that only 40 million was needed, but Liu Mao left an extra 2 million, 1 million was given to Chen De so he could help with future horse trading, and another 1 million was used to buy horse feed.

  "I'll have it ready for you by tomorrow at the latest!" Chen De is a leading figure in Shandong's breeding industry, and with him taking care of things, everything will go smoothly. He said tomorrow because other horses need to be transported.

  "Alright, deliver them to this warehouse address! We'll have someone in charge!" Liu Mang had already fixed up an old large warehouse, not only was the location secluded but it was also big enough. Let alone 5,000 horses, even if it were 50,000 warhorses, he could fit them all in.

  "Good!" Chen De nodded and went to make contact.

  Watching his old father leave, Chen Yu suddenly knelt down and hugged Liu Mang's thigh. "Brother, big brother, Liu Mang, take me in! If you tell me to go east I'll never go west, if you tell me to chase rabbits I'll never mess with chickens!"

  Chen Yu's response was a giant foot and the sentence "Brother has never been gay!"
