With magic as a cheat, William did not need to worry that the racecourse would not produce a champion horse in the future. What he needed to worry about was controlling the enhancement of the horse's physique and the number of champion horses produced by magic.
An increase of 5% or 10% was still manageable, but if it were to suddenly increase by 20% or 50%, any horse would be able to break the world record of 2 minutes in a 2000-meter race. That would be unexplainable.
Therefore, William decided that the racecourse's biggest mission in the future was not to find and train racehorses, but to nurture more Ferghana horses. Firstly, every additional Ferghana equaled an additional sum of money. Secondly, when the number increased, having one or two champion horses among the hundreds of good horses would no longer stand out.
At present, Red Rabbit was enough to boost the reputation of the racecourse. He had already decided that he would push the title to Dali Horse Industries when the time came. He would say that Dali Horse Industries had good foresight for recommending Red Rabbit, a horse that was obviously taller and stronger than ordinary Ferghana horses, allowing William to pick up a great bargain.
Therefore, William did not wait for Dali Horse Industries' horse trainer to finish speaking before interrupting him. "If you wish to stay, find Neil Jordan. If he thinks you're suitable, you can stay. Tell Neil that I want the best for everything in the racecourse.
As long as the budget is approved by my auditor and three equine experts randomly hired from the market, I'll pay for a horse even if it costs ten thousand pounds a month. I only want the best. Do you understand? "
Since there was no need to consider whether it could produce results, he wanted to make everything in the racecourse the best it could be. Even if the huge investment could not dispel everyone's suspicions, it was still acceptable for the investment to produce results.
"O-O-Understood, Sir." The horse trainer stuttered as he answered. A horse's annual cost was 120,000 pounds, and that was before the cost of the venue, equipment, and labor was included. William's investment without any regard for cost left the horse trainer a little dizzy.
Upon seeing Old Neil, the horse trainer exclaimed, "God, do you know what Boss said just now? He said that as long as the money is spent on something useful, he wouldn't care even if a horse costs ten thousand pounds a month.
Heavens, Old Neil, I have to stay at the castle's horse farm. This is the best place. As long as I take good care of the horses for Boss, I don't have to worry about money. "
Old Neil said with a smile, "Even if the horse farm has a hundred horses, the annual expenditure for the horses would only be twelve million pounds. Including labor and utilities, it would not exceed twenty million pounds a year. Do you think the boss would care about twenty million pounds?"
These words made the horse trainer calm down. Thinking about the media report about William's net worth, the horse trainer nodded his head with his eyes shining. Technicians like them liked bosses who didn't care about money the most.
Old Neil smiled when he saw the horse trainer understand. Then, he said sternly, "Buddy, if you want to stay, it'll depend on your capabilities. Let me say this first. My requirements are very high. Devonshire Castle's horse farm and Red Hare are the only hope I've seen in my forty years of work.
I will definitely not let any trash stay. If you pass my test, I will let you be my assistant and help me take care of the Red Rabbit.
Think about it. If the Red Rabbit can produce results, there will be a huge bonus. Furthermore, the boss will be satisfied. Even if we can't become general manager, we still have a high chance of entering management of the horse farm in the future. Do you understand? "
The chance to gain both fame and fortune was right in front of him. The horse trainer was so excited that his face flushed red. "Understood. Thank you, Old Neil. I will work hard."
Old Neil was indeed a sly old fox that had been in the industry for more than forty years. He knew what the horse trainers wanted. With just a few words, he managed to convince a competitor to be his subordinate.
He was ambitious as well. If the Ferghana horse, Red Hare, could become a champion, then Neil Jordan's name would definitely shock England. In addition, he would personally establish a breeding base for Ferghana horses in England. His name might even appear in the horse industry's historical hall of fame.
The moment he thought of this, Old Neil was filled with motivation. He felt like he was twenty years old again. He shouted loudly at the horse trainer and the few horse workers beside him, "If you understand, then begin working. Don't think of slacking off. I swear that I will definitely kick anyone who doesn't do a good job out of the horse farm. The horse farm in the castle does not need trash and slackers."
Old Neil's scolding did not infuriate the few of them. Instead, it stirred their motivation. They quickly began taking care of the Red Rabbit. The Red Rabbit was their hope, and from their point of view, this hope had a very high chance of success.
Seeing hope and thinking of the fame and fortune that would follow success, no one was willing to be kicked out by Old Neil. All of them began working seriously.
.....
Lena smiled as she rode the golden Ferghana horse in the field and did equestrian exercises. She looked at William who was accompanying her by the side of the field. She was filled with pride.
After learning that her son was now a billionaire, Lena relaxed.
She proudly thought about how William had earned more than the three hundred million pounds in her card in two days. If she were to be as frugal as before, she would be letting herself down. She had devoted herself to William for the past nineteen years, so wasn't it only right to spend her son's money?
In the past hour or so, Lena had already made up her mind. She wanted to buy everything that she had never dared to buy in the past. She was even considering if she should buy Chelsea. After all, Chelsea was only a hundred to two hundred million pounds. The money in her card was enough.
If William knew his mother's thoughts, he would definitely sigh at how women were born spenders. An hour ago, she was still feeling the pinch for the 2.2 million pounds, but now, she was thinking of how to spend the three hundred million pounds.
However, William didn't care about this. His mother worked hard to raise him. In order for him to go to college, she had a job during the day and another job after work. Now, if she wanted to spend money, she could spend it.
If she earned so much money and didn't spend it, it didn't matter how much money she had. He would even encourage his mother to spend it. Money was already a number to him. The cash in the London Bank and the Swiss Bank alone was more than 4 billion, and the stocks added up to more than 10 billion dollars.
He didn't spend much money himself. Wouldn't he let his mother spend it? And it wouldn't be long before he could make a lot of money from Debs. Even if Lena spent one billion dollars a year, William wouldn't feel distressed because the stocks he held would increase by more than one billion every year in the future.
Thinking about the next ten years, his assets might increase by several times or even 10 times, William felt that his family really needed someone who could spend money and was willing to spend it. Otherwise, money would really be a number.
"Ring Ring Ring" William, who was thinking, was awakened by a ringtone. He took out his phone. "Hello, this is William, Devonshire." Interrupted by someone, William said unhappily.
When Anthony heard William's tone, he knew that William was unhappy. He carefully said to William, "Hello, sorry to disturb you, Mr. Devonshire. I'm Anthony. Do you need me to call you later?"
William said angrily, "Say it, what's the matter?"
"It's like this, boss. We have already negotiated with the owner of the land around the castle. The price of 3000 acres of land is 6 million pounds. Because we need it urgently, the other party is determined to pay 6 million pounds. Boss, do you want to wait a few days? Maybe it won't even cost 5 million pounds."
"No, give him 6 million. I want to transfer the ownership today. This is my mother's order. I understand."
"No problem, boss."
After hanging up the phone, William waved to his mother and shouted loudly that the land matter had been settled.
