I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

Hokkaido.

Beihai Ranch.

call--

A cold wind blew by.

Sitting in the ranch manager's office, Yuuhito Izumi felt his heart sink.

This house is even drafty.

As a transmigrator who had just arrived in this world, he never expected that his future life would be filled with the sight of cattle and sheep grazing on the grass.

The good news is that the family has split up.

The bad news is that he received the smallest share of the inheritance, and he also had a ranch as a burden.

Yuji Izumi's family is considered a small conglomerate in the Tokyo area, but they have several children.

As the youngest son in the family who wasn't particularly favored and had just graduated from university.

He only received some cash and the ranch.

Yuji Izumi was able to acquire the ranch because his family didn't want the business; it was an industry with no future.

His first thought upon acquiring the ranch was to sell it, but after asking around for a while, no one was willing to take over this ordinary small ranch.

They're impossible to shake off!

They only run ranches...

That's really the end of the world; the future is bleak.

"2020 isn't a hopeless year; are there any famous horses that are one year old this year...?"

Izumi Yuujin suddenly remembered something important and quickly took out his phone.

"Ideally, it should be a small horse that can make a lot of money, either through auctions or court sales."

There's nothing that can be done about racehorses that have already entered the race or been reserved.

As a horse racing enthusiast, Izumi Yuuhito has traveled to this point in time.

He knew he could use his experience from the next few years to buy strong racehorses in advance!

Other business owners spend hundreds of millions to buy horses, only to have it all go down the drain.

However, this problem does not occur with Izumi Yuujin, who possesses memories of the future.

Buying these famous horses in recent years has definitely been the most profitable investment; the money he earns from racing alone can make him several times his initial investment!

We can't let such a good opportunity slip by!

While other industries have been affected by the global pandemic to varying degrees, the domestic horse racing market is still in a process of continuous growth.

After this period of thought, Izumi Yujin knew what to do next.

Go buy a pony!

His father's previous status as a central horse owner was transferred to him.

Yuji Izumi is qualified to participate in JRA races as a horse owner.

Everything is ready except for the east wind.

"By the way, the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes! The strongest kid in Northern Black!"

"The future world horse king is exactly one year old this year, and at this time, it's in the breeding pasture at the Northern Ranch!"

"As one of the first children of the Northern Black, it is not the one with the best bloodline in the Northern Ranch, and you could even say it is a bit ordinary."

"It wasn't very difficult to purchase it."

The next batch of foals is about to be born, but Yuuhito Izumi can't wait for them to grow up for two years!

Equinox!

This year marks the first anniversary of the spring and autumn equinoxes.

Thinking of this, Yuujin Izumi instantly felt excited.

He absolutely cannot miss such an opportunity!

Whether it's the billions in bonuses Chunqiu Fen earned over his three-year career or the initial investment in seed production, Chunqiu Fen's earning power could make him rich overnight!

In the original timeline, the Spring and Autumn Equinoxes would have been sent to the Silk Club under the Northern Ranch.

But as long as the money is enough, buying it from the northern ranch in advance is not a big problem.

Northern Ranch is a large ranch that loves to make money.

The president of Uma Musume Nozomi has proven this point: as long as you pay enough, you can get the copyrights for any Uma Musume Nozomi game under the company's umbrella.

Many famous horses belong to Shetai Ranch. The president of Racehorse Girls successfully acquired the copyrights of a series of club racehorse girls, such as Golden Master, Lady, and Golden Journey, by spending hundreds of millions or even billions of yen every year.

To obtain the first year of spring and autumn, Izumi Yuuhito needs to offer a price that will tempt Northern Ranch and Shedai Ranch!

Fortunately, the breeding fees for Northern Blackfish were not high in the first few years.

Before the emergence of the Spring and Autumn Equinox, the cost of breeding Northern Black horses had been declining, which indicated that Northern Black horses were not viewed favorably by outsiders as stallions.

"Next, I need to contact that horse racing manager my family knows."

Yuujin Izumi has no connection with the Shadai Group, so it's impossible for him to buy horses directly from the ranch.

But having a capable horse racing manager makes all the difference.

Managers have their own channels.

Money makes the world go round; before he becomes strong enough, he needs to rely on the strength of others.

The spring and autumn equinoxes at this time are also called White Castle 2019.

With this name, Yuujin Izumi can quickly find the one-year-old Shunjue among the many Northern Black children born on northern ranches.

"Found it. Although there's no photo, the pedigree chart is correct."

Yuji Izumi successfully found the pedigree certificate of his one-year-old son, Chunqiufen, on a horse racing website using his mobile phone.

This needs to be registered as a pedigree after the horse is born. Without registration, it cannot participate in thoroughbred racing.

Newborn foals are named after their mothers and the year of their birth.

They will only have their own names when they are two years old and about to be formally admitted to the pens.

screenshot!

Yuji Izumi took screenshots of the names and lineages of Shunjuu and Akatsuki.

Spring and Autumn Equinoxes have just been weaned and will soon be leaving their mothers to live with other one-year-old foals.

Although there are no photos on the website, Izumi Yujin had previously seen photos of Shunjue when he was one year old.

The little horse with green deer hair had a long white stripe on its face.

-----------------

"Mr. Izumi?"

A middle-aged or elderly man in work clothes walked over and asked in a low voice.

Junpei Arai grew up in this place.

When he was in his twenties or thirties, the ranch was mortgaged and, after several changes of ownership, ended up in the hands of the Izumi family.

However, the Izumi family didn't really manage this place. Later, the patriarch of the Izumi family became a horse owner, and some of his racehorses were sent here for rest.

He didn't see anyone from the Izumi family from beginning to end.

He was in his fifties, and his temples were already white.

He finally met the person in question today.

His first impression of Izumi Yujin was that he was a handsome young man.

City people are just different.

This is not much different from those big stars on TV.

"It's me, Rancher Arai. I apologize for the sudden intrusion."

Yuji Izumi nodded.

His arrival was very sudden.

He came here mainly to check on the ranch.

"Mr. Izumi, welcome to Hokukai Ranch. I am the ranch manager, Junpei Arai."

Arai Junpei bowed.

As the ranch manager, he knew who his future boss would be.

"Rancher Arai, there's no need to be so formal."

"The main reason I came here is to check on the ranch; you don't need to overthink it."

Izumi Yujin said with a kind smile.

This ranch doesn't have a problem with surplus labor; although the ranch is quite large, only three people work there.

At first, he wanted to get rid of this burden.

"Mr. Izumi, this is what we should do."

"If it weren't for the Izumi family, our ranch would have gone bankrupt long ago due to the previous turmoil."

Arai Junpei bowed slightly and said.

Previously, the Izumi Group didn't impose any restrictions on them, but things changed afterward.

With the Izumi family here, the decision on the future of the ranch rests with Izumi Hisahito.

He had more concerns about this than anything else.

No matter what, this new rancher was just a kid, and he didn't know much about the industry.

For such important figures, this ranch may be dispensable, but it is a family business passed down from generation to generation.

"Mr. Izumi...are we going to make any major changes to our ranch?"

"Well... I'll decide after I've reviewed the situation and the accounts."

Yuuhito Izumi waved.

He could sense the ranch manager's distrust of him.

The Beihai Ranch wasn't of much help to him at this stage, but in the future, he definitely wanted to start horse racing and breeding there.

Owning your own ranch is essential.

Having breeding mares and foals boarded with other people is a completely different experience than raising them on your own ranch.

If you have space at home, you can simply keep them nearby.
