I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

Izumi's live stream

[Host, was that an important call?]

[So sad—it won't get better without a kiss~~]

Don't kiss her, kiss me!

[Did something good happen? You're smiling so happily.]

Yuuhito Izumi sat in his gaming chair and glanced at the live chat.

He coughed lightly:

"There was an important phone call just now. As for the content, it was about buying a racehorse at an extremely low price."

He's been livestreaming for a while now, so he can finally show off a little.

Snow-capped mountains could become the future kings of the world's muddy terrain.

A single race in Dubai can earn you the equivalent of several years' worth of prize money for other horse races.

Oil tycoons are still rich.

Japan's prize money is already quite high on a global scale, but Dubai and Saudi Arabia offer even higher prize money.

This is the advantage of mud horses; they can make a lot of money by scratching these two places.

If the conditions are met, you can give it a try.

What if you make a profit?

Everyone went there with that in mind.

Another point is that at this time, there aren't any particularly good competitions in China.

[The streamer is giving money away to others again (laughs)]

Our streamer is famously a money-giving charm.

[Host, I'm the only one in this live stream who believes in you...]

"You can laugh all you want; you'll see when the competition starts next year!"

Yuuhito Izumi rolled his eyes.

Last year, he barely earned enough to cover the cost of raising horses.

Seeing his horses lose every time they raced, the audience began to seriously doubt his judgment.

But this has nothing to do with him personally.

Several of the racehorses he favored didn't compete this year.

Let's use the snow-capped mountains to give these little scoundrels a good slap in the face first!

[Next year after next, how many next years there are!]

[Hey streamer, don't look down, or your crown will fall off, hahaha—]

"I'm not talking to you guys anymore, that's all for today's live stream."

"A-Fen and Xing-Xing will be entering the Mi-Po training center next year, and I will update with photos then."

Yuji Izumi glanced at the time.

He will be following up on the situation at the snow mountain in the next few days.

The choice of horse trainer, rider, and race selection all rests with him, the horse owner.

"Christmas is just around the corner, and with the New Year coming up, staying in Tokyo for a few more days will be perfect for seeing the snow-capped mountains and participating in the competition."

After turning off the live stream, Yujin Izumi took out his phone and checked the calendar.

Let's aim for a winning streak!

A three-game winning streak in the Snow Mountain area will get you into the Open Group, and winning one Open Group match will allow you to participate in the local Level 1 tournament.

At the age of four, I should focus on winning more competitions in China, and then go to Dubai and Saudi Arabia when I am five.

Horse racing needs to build up enough fame if it wants to go abroad.

Only by proving their strength in domestic competitions can they qualify for international competitions.

I can go back to Tokyo next week.

As winter approaches, Hokkaido is getting colder and colder.

The only way to keep warm in a detached house is with an air conditioner.

You have to blow it, otherwise it will become extremely dry.

Electricity bills soar in both summer and winter.

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

Tokyo.

Upon returning to Tokyo, Izumi Yujin moved into his second brother's house.

Since his family is gone, he can only find somewhere to make a living.

Shinsuke Izumi had several homes in Tokyo, and Hisahito Izumi found one that was relatively convenient to get to.

He previously lived in Takadanobaba, but this time he is in Kichijoji, the area with the highest happiness index in Tokyo.

An annual family gathering.

Their hometown is Setagaya Ward, one of Tokyo's wealthiest areas, where many important figures live.

The other two children in the Izumi family are both successful in their careers.

The only exception was Izumi Hisahito, who did nothing all year except sell his house to buy horses.

He lowered his head and ate.

Yuji Izumi chose to remain inconspicuous.

My mother is the most powerful person in the family, and she manages the entire conglomerate now.

Upon her return, Ms. Izumi did not ask Izumi Hisahito what he had done that year.

Instead, they showed some concern for his physical condition.

"I've been keeping a healthy lifestyle lately. I'm enjoying living in Sapporo, and I go for a walk every morning."

Yuji Izumi put down his chopsticks.

Tokyo moves at a fast pace, while Sapporo is more relaxed.

Apart from Sapporo being a bit uncomfortable in winter, everything else is fine.

"Health is the most important thing."

Ms. Izumi nodded and said.

"Once the group stabilizes, you can come back whenever you want. I'll have your sister find you a temporary position within the group."

Ms. Izumi holds the absolute authority at home.

Although she had some wrinkles on her face and graying temples, her dignity remained.

Sitting there is authority!

"Yes, Mother."

The eldest sister stole a glance at her mother, and then at her younger brother.

That year, Yuujin Izumi did nothing.

He didn't interfere at all with the ranch that was handed over to him.

Fortunately, the ranch was still profitable, so his good-for-nothing brother wouldn't starve to death.

For the group, sending someone to a remote place is tantamount to exile.

Every April, many people from Tokyo are sent to places like Kyushu.

These kinds of people will basically never come back.

The horse racing industry is too risky, and she is not optimistic about the future of horse owners like Yujin Izumi, who no longer have a lot of financial support.

"..."

Yuujin Izumi smiled helplessly, just in time to see his second brother, Shinsuke Izumi, looking at him.

He will return to Tokyo later, but he wants to do well in the horse racing industry and doesn't need to hold a position in the group.

Yujin Izumi really enjoys this pace of life now.

I can get up whenever I want, do a live stream when I have free time, and watch horse races when there are any.

Given his family's circumstances, even if he's on temporary assignment, he'll still have to spend a lot of time in the building.

The ability to endure long hours is arguably the essence of the Japanese workplace.

Shinsuke Izumi gave a stiff smile, but he didn't say anything.

He was powerless to help.

The annual family dinner then concluded in this atmosphere.

...

"Ah—finally I can breathe again."

Shinsuke Izumi, who was driving, loosened his collar.

The family only gets together once a year.

But reuniting is like stepping into the Demon King's palace.

"Second brother...you're exaggerating too much."

Yuujin Izumi, sitting in the passenger seat, rolled his eyes.

"That's a bit of an exaggeration, but you have no idea what it's like when I go to report on my work every month... never mind, I'm not going to say anything more..."

Shinsuke Izumi didn't want to use his younger brother as an emotional dumping ground.

Having two strong, independent women in the family is truly terrifying.

"How's your horse racing business going?"

He changed the subject.

No matter how much Izumi Hisahito jumps around, he won't starve to death; that's what Ms. Izumi meant tonight.

"2021 will be my year of rise!"

Yuji Izumi has been waiting for a year.

Their rise began with the first match in January on the snowy mountain.

"Do you have time in mid-January? I'd like to invite you to watch the game."

None of his family members believed he could achieve anything on this path.

So he started by getting close to his second brother.

"I'll have to go back and ask my secretary. They should be able to spare some time on Saturday and Sunday."

Shinsuke Izumi really didn't know.

His schedule is all handled by his secretary; every morning, his secretary tells him what to do that day.

On second thought, spending some family activities with my younger brother wouldn't be bad either.

"Then you should ask in advance. The race venue is the Nakayama Racecourse in Chiba, which isn't far away."

Yujin Izumi.

He watched his first game in Zhongshan last year.
