Dali took a few deep breaths to calm himself down and nodded. "Yes, Mr. Devonshire. In addition to Turkmenistan, Polar Bear, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan all have Hanxue horse farms, and the scale is not small.
Turkmenistan now has about 2,000 horses. You know that horses are not easy to buy, but Polar Bear, Kazakhstan, and Uzbekistan are different.
These countries have about 1,000 horses, and they have been working hard to cultivate Hanxue over the years, but the scale seems to be decreasing.
There are too few buyers for Hanxue, and it is very difficult to operate. If they know that you want to buy such a large number of Hanxue horses, they will be crazy with joy. Maybe they will even sell you stallions. "
"Haha, I don't care about money, but I don't want to be a fool. Buying horses will be a test for you. If you can satisfy me, it is not impossible for you to be in charge of the horse farm. Do you understand?"
"Of course, Mr. Devonshire. We can't guarantee anything else, but we promise to do the best for anything related to horses," Dali hurriedly promised. He also knew that the horse farm was the big deal. As long as he could reach a cooperative relationship with William's horse farm, the profits would not be just once or twice, but for years to come.
William didn't care about Dali's promise. "As long as the horse is good, I will pay in one lump sum. Your commission is 10%. I will find a professional horse trainer to check and accept it. At the same time of the transaction, a professional accountant will follow you. How much money you can earn depends on whether you can find a good horse that I am satisfied with. Dali. "
As soon as he heard William mention the commission, the excited Dali immediately calmed down. He thought for a while, shook his head and said, "Mr. Devonshire, if you want to buy ordinary Hanxue horses, I can grit my teeth and accept the commission of 10%.
"Because I only need to go to the horse farm to pick ordinary Hanxue horses, and I don't need a transfer agent to take care of them one-on-one when transporting them back to England. I can use a ship. Although I can't make money, I won't lose money.
"But what you want is the grade in the picture book. A 10% commission is definitely not enough. The cost of professional care and breeding, and the horse needs to be transported to England by a special plane and car. These costs are not small.
Not to mention the golden mare and the date red horse that you have your eyes on. If you want to buy them, it's not just a matter of money, but also a matter of connections. I think a 25% commission is appropriate, sir. "
Damn profiteers. Whenever money was mentioned, they would get excited. However, William also knew that good horses were a scarce resource. Without connections, even if you had the money, you wouldn't be able to find a seller. Moreover, the better the horse, the less likely it was to find a bargain. If the price wasn't right, the horse farm wouldn't sell it to you.
After thinking about it, it was impossible not to leave a profit margin. Only an idiot would work for others for free. "15% of this picture book. If it's 20% better, Dali, I'm buying dozens of horses. You'd better think about how to find Hanxue horses of the same quality as the picture book. If you can't complete the mission, you won't have a share in the construction of the stud farm and future cooperation."
Dali choked on William's words, but no matter how difficult it was, he had to do it. If he didn't go all out at this time, they would really have nothing to do with the racecourse.
Dali lowered his head and pondered. If he made use of the time difference and bought and sold at several places of origin of Hanxue horses at the same time, he might really be able to buy dozens of high-quality Hanxue horses at once.
If he worked harder, it wasn't impossible to buy hundreds of horses. After all, the price of Hanxue horses wasn't high now. Most people in the horse industry only paid attention to the Hanxue horses that had won the championship in Europe and America and their descendants. Because the horses sold in the places of origin weren't the best, there weren't many buyers, and the market wasn't good.
However, as he thought about it, Dali suddenly realized that if William bought all the good horses sold in the places of origin this year, wouldn't William be able to monopolize 30% to 40% of the high-quality Hanxue horses on the market? Could this be William's real purpose?
Dali calculated the profits in his heart and suddenly wanted to leave William behind and do it himself.
However, this idea didn't stay in his mind for long before he shook his head. He wasn't a tycoon like William. Losing tens of millions of pounds wouldn't hurt him.
The horse farms weren't fools. They wouldn't sell all the horses to one person. Even if all the good horses sold this year were bought, there would still be good horses next year. It was impossible to monopolize the market completely.
Besides, raising horses was more expensive than buying horses. If he spent tens of millions of pounds on Hanxue horses, he would be dead meat if they didn't show results.
Except for William, a loyal fan of Hanxue horses, who would spend so much money to buy a Hanxue horse that didn't perform well in a short-distance race?
All kinds of horse racing competitions in the world were dominated by short-distance races, and the audience only liked to watch the sprint in short-distance races. Few people watched endurance races.
After thinking it through, Dali made up his mind to be a second-hand dealer for William, a tycoon. If this deal was successful, he would be able to make two or three million pounds, which was equivalent to his profits for several months.
Not to mention the construction of William's horse farm. If this business could satisfy William, William's horse farm might be handed over to his company to manage in the future. Then, he would be able to make money in years.
William didn't care whether Dali would compete with him for the Hanxue horses. If someone competed with him, he would spend more time. It wasn't like he had to buy dozens of Hanxue horses.
"Mr. Dali, I hope you can keep this purchase low-key and at the same time. I don't want to be taken advantage of. If the price of Hanxue horses soars, I will terminate the deal."
Hearing William's request, Dali nodded quickly. "Of course, Mr. Devonshire, we are a professional horse company. It is our responsibility to think of our customers.
I just calculated that, excluding those Hanxue horses that are already on the track, there are about 40 to 50 first-class Hanxue horses registered for sale.
"My plan is to buy them directly according to the listed price. About 10 million pounds can buy about 30 horses. After all, the main reason you buy horses is not to race, but to breed your own horse, so you don't need to buy so many stallions. You can buy mares for the rest.
"We will take advantage of the time difference and get it done before the market responds. After we buy all the mares, we can only wait for the next batch of foals to grow up. Of course, if you can lower your requirements, it is possible to buy 200 horses."
Of course, William knew that it was impossible for him to buy all the good horses in one go. If he did, the price of the Ferghana horse would definitely be inflated by him. He was rich, but no one was willing to be a sucker. After buying this horse, he would slowly buy the other good horses.
"You buy this batch of horses first. As for the horses in the future, I will first see the market and whether the horses you provide are to my liking.
Dali, you can contact my private lawyer, Anthony. He will draw up a contract with you for me to sign. "After saying that, William gave Anthony's phone number to Dali. He also called Anthony and told him about the requirements for buying the horses. He asked Anthony to send someone to follow Dali's company to keep an eye on the price.
After the phone call, William signed a check for 2.2 million pounds to Dali. This time, the five Hanxue horses were his.
Dali took the check with a smile. "Thank you, Mr. Devonshire. We will deliver these five horses to you in the morning the day after tomorrow. As for buying the horses, I promise to do it to your satisfaction. Let's go see Mr. Anthony first. Goodbye, Mr. Devonshire."
"Goodbye, Dali." William sent Dali and the others out of the castle gate.
