I will resign and go to Australia

35 episodes. Is stake play special?

There seems to be some story behind it.

I asked carefully.

“May I ask why?”

“Instead, you should keep it a secret from Grandpa.”

“sure.”

“Two years ago, the stallion business, one of Inham’s subsidiaries, was sold. It was the oldest stallion in Queensland at the time, and Darkstar was born there.”

Chris’ words reminded me of what Joshua had told me earlier.

A subsidiary of Inham, which was originally five.

It belonged to the stallion, along with meat processing, feed manufacturing, export, and real estate.

But why sold the business?

“Originally, Inham Stallion started with a horse called Valiant Road, which was inherited from my great-grandfather. As Inham’s business grew, we invested a lot in the stallion industry. It was.”

Corporate Social Responsibility.

As a member of society, it is an act to fulfill a kind of social obligation that has a positive impact on the public.

Although the purpose of a company is to pursue profit, it cannot survive for a long time if it does not fulfill its social responsibilities.

In a word, it can be said that it is a part of efforts to give legitimacy to profit activities.

To be honest, a company that only makes money without contributing to society is unlucky, right?

“But how can the stallion industry become CSR?”

The stallion industry is ultimately directly related to horse racing.

As far as I know, horse racing is a gamble after all.

In Korea, it is an industry that is defined as speculative and is being implemented under strict regulations.

“Because it’s the only thing in Australia that insists on Home Breed.”

Homebreed is a native horse?

“You can think of it this way. Stallions are divided into stallions and sires, and the one that is generally considered important is the stallion. However, these stallions are not only horses produced in Australia. In some cases, they are imported from the country. Recently, especially in the United States, the number of stallions being bred is increasing, of course, because the horses have been proven in the United States, the world’s largest horse racing market.”

“Are you saying that Inham operated a stallion only with native horses under such circumstances?”

“Yes. Pedigree is important, but race isn’t the only thing that determines the race. Nevertheless, he has won over 600 titles and once owned an Australian champion racehorse. In a word, it can be called the pride of the Australian stallion industry. It was.”

“But why did you sell it?”

“There are many reasons, but the grandmother who had the greatest influence on the stallion industry has passed away. Although she was an old woman, there was nothing wrong with going to the stall every day.”

“Did you sell it with the thought that you caused the death of your beloved wife?”

Chris smiled at my question.

“Oh, isn’t it? Then maybe…”

I mumbled as I looked at his wheelchair.

“Hahaha. I fell off the horse and became like this, don’t you think that’s why you think Grandpa sold the ranch?”

“Isn’t that too? Hmm.”

Ah, shame on you.

I wrote a novel for nothing and sold only the pages.

That’s why I think it’s said that if you stay still, you’ll go even in the middle.

“There was a project that my grandmother was working on with ambitious ambition. Although she died while preparing, the rest of the people worked tirelessly to achieve it. However, it continued to fail and became a joke among the people involved.”

“Are you kidding me? Why?”

“My grandmother was trying to produce horses of the maternal line.”

Traditionally, it is common to manage the lineage centering on the sire and the paternal line.

This is because male horses generally perform better, and it is advantageous to have many offspring.

However, since the blood of only one parent cannot be inherited, the maternal center was not impossible.

“But is it that much of a joke?”

“There was one more thing. Grandma kept only breeding horses with strong stamina. Tracks in Australia are mostly short distances, so sprinters traditionally have an advantage. But she went the opposite way.”

“Is there a reason?”

“There was. You thought that stamina was the biggest reason Australian horses were not working in American races. In the meantime, Australia has reduced long-distance races to increase the number of races for economic reasons. You said that you neglected your stamina, so Grandma tried to produce a horse with a strong heart that could be used in America.”

I was a mistress.

According to Chris, the size of the heart is only inherited through the maternal line.

I explained that the reason is the X chromosome, but I don’t know because it’s complicated, but it is anyway.

It is said that there was a purpose and reason for her to produce pedigree-centered horses.

Although the results were not good.

“My grandmother set her goal to win the Melbourne Cup, go to the United States, and achieve the Triple Crown there. You were going to do it.”

“Still, the results are not good.”

“Yes. The leading saire of the year. Oh, the leading saire is the horse that has the most wins in a year based on the foal, that is, the horse that has the greatest value as a sire. I bred the prepared horse, Glorias. And a racehorse called Shooting Star was born, but the grades were disastrous. The ranch became a joke. Grandpa was very angry that his grandmother’s honor had been tarnished, and he sold the stallion to a private equity company. I threw it away. The company passed the stake back to the British Stallion Company.”

How angry was Bobby when the things his wife left behind were turned into a joke.

How much anger would have been enough to sell the entire affiliated company handed down from the ancestors…

It was then that I realized why there was no horse ranch among the jobs that Bobby had commissioned.

Maybe it’s something you don’t want to see or even think about.

“But what does Dark Star have to do with the business already sold?

“Dark Star is the brother of Shooting Star. At the time of sale, Dark Star was in the womb of her mother, Glorias. My instructors and I secretly stole it.”

“Then isn’t Darkstar owned by that private equity fund or a British stallion company?”

“No. The will left by my grandmother, who was a rancher, states that I own the Gloria’s foal.”

“Then the shooting star was used as a shield to protect the dark star, right?”

“Yeah. My grandfather consented to the sale of Shooting Star, so he didn’t even know there was a Dark Star. Anyway, after that, the stake was transferred to a British stallion company, so you won’t have to worry about ownership disputes.”

“But wouldn’t it be a problem in some way if Bobby found out about the Darkstar’s existence?”

“…Yes, that’s right. Whoa…”

Chris sighed and shook his head.

There was a kind of longing on his face as he looked at the horses running around on the fence.

“Chris, what do you want to do as a dark star?”

“Of course, it’s going to be my grandmother’s dream come true. It would be even better if I could recover the stallion that my grandfather sold.”

“I couldn’t even be a shooting star, but you mean it’s possible to become a dark star? Why?”

“Because the two horses are different. Thanks to Shooting Star, the person who was an assistant at the time found the problem. They weren’t Leading Saiyans.”

He tilted his head at that.

“You say that the Leading Saire is the best?”

“Um… So, the fact that the leader sire’s foal swept the championship that year doesn’t mean that the sire is the winner. The really fast thing is that bastard.”

“Ah! Is that going to happen again? So, did you bred it with that foal?”

“No, I couldn’t. I didn’t have the money. At that time, my grandfather almost took over the ranch and blocked the money line. So I bred it to a cheap but incredibly fast horse.”

“Are you saying that?”

“Yes. Darkstar’s temperament was inherited from his father, Runaway Train. He won the provincialweight title only once, but at that time, he was 40 demons behind the second place. It was so bad that he couldn’t compete properly after that. I couldn’t do it, and that made it worth shit, but it was a very quick horse.”

A demon that is the unit of distance in horse racing.

One demon means that a street car is equivalent to one horse.

Considering that the length of a normal horse from head to hip is roughly 2.5 meters, the difference is close to 100 meters.

A difference of 100 meters between the first and second place in horse racing? is it real?

“Didn’t you go to a local race by any chance?”

“The class was low, but not very bad.”

According to Chris, there are three main types of races in Australia.

Metropolitan, Provincial, Country.

It is divided in detail within it, but to put it simply, it is said that the race is held in large cities, small and medium cities, and rural areas in order.

Darkstar’s father, Runaway Train, had won at that intermediate level, the provincialweight division.

Even though it was the lowest no-class rating for horses that did not win or new horses.

However, with that one debut, Runaway Train performed a great race worthy of its name, Runaway Locomotive, and it is said that it attracted the attention of all horse racers.

Naturally, there were numerous offers for the ranch, and Maju, who was in serious financial trouble at the time, said that he could not resist the temptation of 6 million dollars.

“While going to and from the various ranches like that, the runaway train was ruined and it became violent to the point where it became violent. It is said that no matter how many veteran riders rode it, they couldn’t properly confiscate it.”

“Because I became a bad guy like that, it must have had no value as a stallion.”

“Because we don’t look at the career of a horse who won once in their debut match.”

“It’s a pity. It would have been better if Maju didn’t sell it and protected it from start to finish.”

After hearing the explanation, it didn’t seem unreasonable for Chris to have such a dream.

“Are you going to help me then?”

“……”

“Please. With Jin’s help, Dark Star will definitely be able to make my and my grandmother’s dreams come true.”

“I want to help Chris, too, but it’s hard to accept, because it’s like losing a Chuck with Bobby.”

“If you prove that Grandma wasn’t wrong, Grandpa will change his mind, too. Until then, keep it a secret.”

“Because it doesn’t happen in a day or two.”

“The races are usually once a month. At most twice. At least during the season. So be careful and you won’t get caught.”

If that was the case, it seemed that there would be no need to worry about the schedule overlapping.

“Then what are you going to do with the commission?”

“……Well.”

Did the guy you used to talk well all of a sudden shut his mouth?

It feels like the smell of money that had been loose before is gone.

“I’d like to hear your offer first.”

“……”

Don’t open your mouth again.

It is frustrating. Do you really have no money?

Even though you’re a wealthy man, is pocket money still limited?

“Jin. To be honest, I don’t have enough cash to pay the quest right away. Right now, the cost of paying for Dark Star is just too tight.”

“So?”

Chris took a deep breath and spoke slowly.

“How about if I give you a share of Dark Star?”

“……”

Uh huh, is the Inham family special in playing stakes?
