I became a horse racing tycoon in Hokkaido.

Chapter 90 Mare Breeding Auction

"This is a bit busy; I've got two important matches back-to-back."

Yu Matsumoto had finished his own business.

He definitely couldn't miss the competition in the snow-capped mountains.

This time, he still had someone specially put up a banner, and he was still a little excited when he returned to the Dajing Racecourse.

This is the first time that Xueshan has proven its strength on a big stage!

"This is indeed the first time."

"Hopefully, even if we win the tournament, we can only have a simple celebration."

Yuji Izumi wanted to have a good celebration, especially at the end of the year.

But this time it probably won't work, because many trainers have work to do these two days, and even have a lot of things to arrange.

If there are only a few people, then the celebration party won't be very interesting.

"This time is definitely not appropriate."

Yutaka Matsumoto strongly agrees with this view.

But things are different after the race in the snow-capped mountains. Once this race is over, the horse racing season for the year will also be over.

He found a good place this time.

"Just wait, we're going to Zhongshan Racecourse to watch a race this week."

Yujin Izumi.

This was something I had planned beforehand.

Time flies.

Yu Matsumoto still remembers receiving a call from Hisahito Izumi that night.

It's almost been two years.

"I wish time could pass faster, I don't have enough money at all."

Yuji Izumi laughed.

He was also looking forward to Calicante's first child.

Ideally, the horse should be a racehorse born around February, when he has more time.

Next year, he plans to travel abroad to watch the games.

Traveling around the country is fine, but when he goes abroad, Izumi Yujin naturally wants to take a few days of sightseeing along the way.

"So you're planning to go to the breeding mare auction in February?"

Matsumoto Yu suddenly perked up.

Horse racing auctions are quite complicated.

Around February, there is a large auction of breeding mares.

Some breeding ranches no longer want to operate, so they will sell off all the breeding mares they have.

Good bloodlines will always find a buyer.

There are also bloodlines abandoned by ranches, and no one can say for sure whether a great racehorse will emerge from this female line in the future.

When one horse attains enlightenment, the entire female lineage ascends to heaven.

"I'm not interested in mare auctions; I just want to buy a house in Tokyo."

Yuji Izumi shook his head.

He knew about mare breeding auctions.

This place is where you can encounter some people with decent bloodlines.

Many breeding females are even auctioned off with their unborn babies still inside.

This is essentially a buy-one-get-one-free deal.

"Hmm...it's time for you to buy your own house; you can't keep living in hotels."

Matsumoto Yu sat down next to Izumi Hisahito and continued, "Izumi-kun, I don't recall you having your own ranch in Hokkaido?"

He could tell that Izumi Yujin was more than just an ordinary horse owner.

If a horse owner wants to take things to the next level, they definitely need to get into breeding, because that's the most profitable thing.

"Breeding mares is something that needs to be done gradually."

"That ranch itself lacked professionals, and buying too many breeding mares only hastened their deaths."

Yuji Izumi was not in a hurry at all.

The North Sea Ranch will only begin a major transformation once the daughters of Freedom Island and Earth Star retire.

The various facilities at Beihai Ranch need continued investment and construction.

He's still waiting for Calicante's first child.

Let's have a daughter!

The stallions born in recent years are unlikely to become breeding horses, so it would be better to have a daughter to continue the female bloodline.

"That makes sense, buying too many breeding mares at once isn't easy."

"Many of the breeding mares here are not cheap, especially those with calves."

Yu Matsumoto was just saying that.

He thought Izumi Yuuhito was going to a mare breeding auction, but it turned out he was going to buy a house in Tokyo.

"Another point is that I don't know much about this area and I need to continue learning."

Yuji Izumi has actually been reading books on this topic recently.

This is a very difficult thing to study no matter how you look at it.

The simplest way is if both parents are famous horses. If such a purebred horse is properly bred, it can fetch a good price.

The success rate of these horses is indeed quite high.

Take the racehorses he owns, for example.

The foals of the racehorses Chunqiu and Diqiuxing are generally healthy at birth and one year old, and their physical development is normal.

That child could easily fetch several hundred million.

Or you could find a club to raise funds and make a lot of money.

He owns a portion of Beihai Ranch, sells a portion to the club, and then sells the remainder to the club's members.

This model is the most stable, and this arrangement of mares is the best. When the mares retire, the production ranch can buy back all the shares at a very low price.

During this period, the cost of raising horses was basically covered by the monthly membership fees paid by members.

December 25th.

Yujin Izumi spent this year's Christmas with his family.

Everyone in their family has their own job.

But the one with the easiest job is Yuujin Izumi. He doesn't have much work, and the small ranch doesn't require much management from him.

The whole year consisted of traveling, watching sports, playing games, and doing occasional live streams.

"Third brother, the horse racing has been getting better and better lately. We're going to Zhongshan Racecourse to watch the races together tomorrow."

During the family meeting, Shinsuke Izumi said happily.

He, as the president of the company, can take a few days off now.

These few days before the Lunar New Year are great; he can arrange his life however he wants and go watch horse racing to relax.

"Yes, I've seen the news before. Hisahito is indeed very popular in the horse racing world recently."

Reine Izumi glanced at Shinsuke Izumi.

She was concerned about this matter because of her second son, Shinsuke Izumi, who had specifically mentioned Hisahito Izumi's horse race to her last time.

At first glance, she could hardly believe what she was seeing.

Yuji Izumi quietly made a lot of money.

She's really waiting for Izumi Yujin to call her this year; she's even prepared the location for the company.

After seeing those news reports, she knew she didn't need to wait any longer.

"Ha... I'd say I've had some success this year."

Yujin Izumi.

The eldest sister is definitely the most outstanding among the three in their family.

Under her management, the Izumi family's businesses became increasingly vibrant.

"Now that you've found the path that suits you, keep working hard at it."

Ms. Izumi looked at her three children and said.

She knew last year that Izumi Hisahito had sold his house and car.

Unexpectedly, Yuji Izumi actually managed to snag a great racehorse.

Although she didn't say it, she watched more matches than Izumi Suzune.

"I will, I already have a plan."

Yuji Izumi nodded.

Next year will be his strongest year at this stage.

This year has already looked impressive, but this is just the beginning.

The three-crown route is the most important.

"No matter how successful Hisahito's racehorses are, you shouldn't put all your money into them."

Ms. Izumi has some knowledge of horse racing.

Those who spend hundreds of millions of yen on horse racing every year are just trying to network.

Many high-ranking figures own their own racehorses.

Their main business generates enough revenue for them to spend freely at horse racing auctions, and they can even use horse racing as a topic of conversation when discussing business.

She knows many people who love horse racing and make a lot of money, but Izumi Yujin's current assets certainly can't withstand losses of hundreds of millions.

"I understand. I'm only doing what I can afford. I haven't even been to the horse racing auction yet."

Izumi Yuujin knew that this was out of concern for him.

If he didn't know which racehorse would emerge victorious, he would have lost all his money long ago.

As for horse racing auctions, he had never been to one.

Next year's horse racing auction will be his chance to shine.

Having discussed Izumi Hisahito, let's move on to Izumi Shinsuke.

Shinsuke Izumi's expression instantly darkened as he listened to the various reports.

It's time for another critique session of Izumi Shinsuke.

The real estate market has indeed been performing poorly recently, especially due to the impact of the broader economic environment.

Many foreign investors hope to recoup their assets at this time.

That's why Izumi Yujin decided to buy a house at this time; if he looked carefully, he was sure he could find a good one.
