Chapter 160
The owner of the horse is a Turkic man.
The Tang Dynasty was a very inclusive dynasty, and people of all kinds could be seen in Chang'an City. Not to mention that the Turks have been destroyed now, even when the Tang Dynasty fought against the Turks, the western market of Chang'an had never stopped. Moreover, the Turks have always been good at raising horses, so it would not be surprising that the owner of the horse who took the lead was a Turkic man.
But it was surprising that Li Mu had to spend a thousand guan to buy a horse when he spoke. He ran from far to near, and there was a loudspeaker near the third-level high platform. As he approached, the sound became louder and louder. Now no one needs to find out, and everyone inside and outside the horse farm heard it.
When the audience who were about to leave heard this, they were not in a hurry to leave and stopped to watch. The people outside the horse court who were waiting to repay the bonus were also stretched their necks to wait, wanting to know what was going on.
Cheng Qian, who was counting copper coins with three horse owners, visited Li Mu twice yesterday and the day before yesterday, and learned how to explain it. He recognized Li Mu. As the shopkeeper, he also knew some details and knew that Li Mu was a member of the horse farm, but he didn't know how much he occupied. Seeing Li Mu coming, Cheng Qian quickly smiled and said, "Marty, you want to buy a horse, the younger one can share your worries..." While talking, he winked, obviously trying to tell Li Mu, Martyr, your price is high.
But Li Mu seemed to have not understood it, raised his hand and touched the 'Tieshan', looked at the horse owner next to him, and said, "It's true that a good horse! This marquis is Li Mu, the Marquis of Zhulu, and he fell in love with your horse. One thousand guan. Is it not to sell it?"
The owner of the horse was stunned. One thousand guan! A golden horse or a silver horse? Even if it is a sweat-blooded BMW that has been encountered in a century in the Western Regions, it is only a thousand guan. The owner of the horse is self-aware. Although his iron mountain is good, there is still a huge gap from a sweat-blooded BMW, which is really not worth one thousand guan. Even if he cheats on an outsider, he dares to ask for eighty guan. One thousand guan. Is he planning to buy a group?
Li Mu said impatiently: "What do you want to ask you? If you buy your horse, will you sell it?"
The horse owner finally recovered. He was a horse dealer in Xishi City, so he naturally knew what happened in Chang'an City. After hearing Li Mu's report to his house, who has no idea about Zhulu Hou's name in the past few days? He dared not neglect it. Although money is good, he must have a life to spend it. If Zhulu Hou was deceived and came back to come, he would probably never think about doing business in Chang'an in this life.
After struggling for a few times, the owner of the horse still had a conscience. He bowed to Li Mu and said, "Report to Zhulu Hou, this little man is your favorite, so it is OK to sell it to you. But the little man wants to say it in front. Although this horse is good, it is definitely not worth a thousand guan. If you really want to buy it, give it to you seventy... no, fifty guan."
"Fifty-talk?" Li Mu sneered and said, "Fifty-talk, I want to buy yours? Besides, what is the face of the horse I bought with fifty-talk, I will offer you to Your Majesty? How can I use the horse I bought with fifty-talk, and I will win the next horse race for me? I am a kind person. If I only spent fifty-talk to buy your horse and won 10,000 yuan in the next competition, you will say that I only gave you fifty-talk, which is to rob you. Now I will tell you the pros and cons to you, give you one thousand yuan, and make a note, you sell it and I buy it. How much I earn from it in the future has nothing to do with you, so as not to trouble in the future!"
The owner of the horse was stunned when he heard Li Mu's words. He was not a fool, so he naturally understood it at all. Li Mu's meaning was clearly expressed. He wanted to buy this horse to participate in the next competition, and the prize money was second. It seemed that he wanted to bet and buy a horse. There was no counting the winning or losing in it. Although he didn't know whether the horse would win next time, as the first horse racing, he had a chance to win the championship next time. Even if he couldn't win the championship, maybe Zhulu Hou wanted to beat the second or third?
Or maybe, he didn't think about betting at all, just wanted to buy it and offer it to the emperor? After all, this is the first horse racing in the Tang Dynasty!
In this way, a thousand guan seems not to be a lot... There is no one who is not greedy. The owner of the horse is thinking at this moment. An idea emerged in his mind. If he raises some money himself and bets by himself next time, the profit he gets will definitely be more than a thousand guan!
Thinking of this, the horse owner said, "Thank you, Zhulu Hou, for telling me, let the little Ru be enlightened. But... the villain said it straight, Rulu Zhulu Hou said, this horse can't be sold for a thousand stakes!"
Li Mu actually didn't really plan to buy a horse, he just wanted to hype this way. Hearing this, he took the lead and sighed, "Oh, I am still too loyal, for nothing. Since you don't sell it, I can't force myself to buy it, so forget it."
After the show, Li Mu was about to turn around and leave when suddenly a voice came in: "I'm going to sell it for two thousand coins, will you sell it?"
Everyone inside and outside the horse farm was stunned. What? Just buy a horse for two thousand guan? Crazy! Another madman appeared!
If Li Mu's rhetoric just now barely supported everyone to accept that a horse could be worth one thousand guan, but the value of these two thousand guan is nothing to convince.
Just do a simple calculation and assume that this horse will definitely win the first place and can get a prize of 500 guan. If you bet another 500 guan, it will be a profit of 1,000 guan. This is easy to understand. However, if this horse wins the championship this time, will it definitely win the championship next time? You must know that even in the game just now, this horse will only win. What if it loses in the next game? Or, if you really dare to play so big, will this horse win by betting on 500 guan?
Everyone knows that if you really bet like this, the loss will be greater than the winning chance. Buying a horse with a thousand guan is already very dangerous, while buying a horse with two thousand guan is a sure loss!
Therefore, everyone believed that this young man who suddenly appeared was either stupid or was looking for trouble!
Li Mu is more intuitive than these guessers, because he has seen the person who speaks. The person in front of him is obviously from a wealthy family and dresses very well. If he is said to be a fool, Li Mu would not believe it. Therefore, this person may only be here to find fault.
"In Xia Wang Pu, I have met Zhulu Hou."
"Taiyuan Wang family?"
Wang Pu nodded slightly.
