chapter 34
34 episodes. Can someone introduce me?
“Hey, Chris. If you know anything, tell me.”
John urged Chris to think for a long time.
“Oh, I’m sorry. I don’t know the details, but I think I’ve heard of him.”
“Have you heard of Jin?”
“Yes. I don’t know if it’s the same person… but I think it’s probably the same person.”
“Who the hell is he talking about?”
“Recently, there is an Asian man named Jin, whom my grandfather appointed as an outside director of Inham, even by giving him a stake.”
“If it’s your grandfather, Bobby Inham? He gave him a stake? How much?”
“1%.”
“What, what!? Not 0.1%, not 1%! Really?”
“It’s true. From my uncle, to my aunt, to Dangsuk, the adults in the family didn’t even get upset because of that.”
“If I had a 1% stake in Inham, it would be close to $10 million, of course. I’m talking like this, but Chairman… Shouldn’t you go to the hospital and get a checkup?”
John scratched his chin and looked embarrassed.
It was because Sarah, who heard those words, glared at her from the side.
“Please correct Grandpa. Recently, everyone seems to agree with why he made such a decision.”
“Agree? Why?”
“They say they screen out diseased individuals like ghosts. It’s a popular word among farmers raising livestock around Queensland. I know that my grandfather, who introduced him, got quite a bit of referral fee because of that.”
“If they have the same name and have such a keen eye, it would be right to see them as the same person.”
“I’ll make sure, though. Call the Samford Valley Club and ask what your full name is. I’ll look into the Inham headquarters.”
“I see.”
The two each picked up their cell phones and made a call.
They ended the call at about the same time, and they said face to face.
“Yoosung, my name is Jin.”
“Yoosung, this is Jin.”
After hearing this, Sarah said with a happy expression on her face.
“It’s the same person. I’ll have to give up signing, John.”
***
baah.
At Jane’s request, I went with her to John & Sara Ranch.
It was because they contacted me that they wanted to do a case in return for helping Dark Star’s chastity training last time.
It was okay, but Jane insisted that a field trip to the stallion was part of her education, so she had no choice but to do it.
Do we all listen to the teacher well?
“Jin. Didn’t you say you were a workaholic?”
Jane looked around the car and widened her eyes.
“yes.”
“But this car…”
I can’t keep up with the backstory, but it’s understandable.
It’s probably not suitable for workaholics.
I’m curious about my background.
However.
“Our house is a little bit old.”
In this case, ‘Oh, that’s right’.
“I signed up for the club’s most expensive course, but the question was stupid.”
“But are all stallions in the mountains like this?”
I looked around and said while driving.
The location seemed to be located in a very remote area from the outskirts.
“Not all, but small stallions often have a hill or valley.”
“Why?”
“It’s easy to make a hill course.”
“Does that seem important?”
“The most important parts for a racehorse are the hind legs and the lower back. Hills are a traditional training course that effectively trains those two.”
Jane went on to explain how wonderful John’s ranch was.
It was like watching a new employee who just joined the company, the HR employee blaming our company and arguing all kinds of advantages.
‘Why are you proud of someone else’s ranch?’
an hour for that.
After turning around the dirt road, we finally reached our destination.
“Come on. Jean, Jane.”
“Come on.”
The ranchers John and Sarah greeted us at the entrance.
They immediately showed us inside the ranch, and after that they took us to the barbecue area prepared in advance.
Jane said in a whisper in a low voice, as she looked very impatient.
“John. You have to do it right to win favor. Why are you so sloppy? You have to show the inside of the ranch well.”
“It’s going to be hard to win favor with.”
“yes?”
“I found out that he was a great person. You don’t know since we rode a Ferrari together?”
“No, they say the house is rich.”
“I don’t know if the family is rich, but the friend himself is already very rich. Would such a person want to become a trainer by removing horse dung and learning horse brush management?”
“……”
“Keep watching.”
John patted Jane on the shoulder once, then grinned.
“Jin. What kind of meat do you like? Just say it. Chicken, duck, pig, cow, crocodile, kangaroo, etc. There is nothing missing.”
In Australia, crocodile and kangaroo meat are easily available in supermarkets and restaurants.
I haven’t tried it, but people who have tried it say it tastes pretty good.
But why didn’t I eat it?
Because it tastes like choking.
I just like to eat plain stuff.
“Beef!”
Meat is also beef.
Beef is cheap in Australia, but the price level of Korea is still ingrained in my mind, so whenever I eat anything, I only eat beef.
The first-grade sirloin is roughly around 20,000 won.
That’s about a quarter of our country’s level, haha!
crazy, really.
chee profit.
John grilled the meat so deliciously that it was hard to tell whether he was a rancher or a chef.
Barbecue party with foreigners in blonde walls on a ranch with grassy fields.
It seemed that the romance I had imagined before coming to Australia had come true.
“Sarah. Last time I saw there were other instructors, so why not call them all together?”
“Thanks for the horse, but everyone is busy right now. I have two horses for the competition, so I’m in a rush to prepare. One of them is a Dark Star that Jin helped with training before.”
“Wow, is Dark Star going to the contest?”
“Yes. I’m planning to go out before my debut next month.”
“It must be fun. I’ll have to take the time to look around.”
“Ho-ho, I’ll get you a ticket if you want, too.”
“Really? Please save me. I miss you too.”
While we were talking with Sarah, John brought the cooked meat and put it on their respective plates.
“Gin. Eat a lot. Thank you so much for the last job. Thanks to you, Darkstar’s training went well.”
“I’ll eat well. If you need any help, please contact me. I’ll come and help you anytime.”
Isn’t it our nature to come and go?
“Thank you, hahaha.”
“What.”
“And I have someone to introduce you to. If it’s okay with you, can I call you?”
“Who can I introduce? Who is it?”
“The Dark Star’s face-to-face.”
huh? Gipsy?
“It’s a burden to say thank you, because I’ve already been treated well.”
“It is, but there are other reasons as well.”
“what is that?”
“Um… I think it’s polite to meet and talk with the person involved. It has a little to do with the family’s affairs.”
What do I have to do with his family?
Out of curiosity, I accepted John’s offer.
And after a while, a handsome blonde in a wheelchair appeared.
“Jin, this is Chris. Chris, this friend is Jin.”
With John’s introduction, the two of us shook hands.
“My name is Chris Inham.”
“Inham? Maybe?”
“Yeah. You’re right. Bobby Inham is going to be my grandfather.”
“……!”
Bobby’s grandson.
I hope to meet his family in a place like this.
“I’ve heard a lot from Grandpa. He’s very talented.”
“Oh, yes. It’s not a big deal…”
“It’s not a big deal. Grandpa, who is an outstanding resourceful person, invested 1% of his stake and kept him by his side, so it can’t be.”
Chris said with a cool smile.
When a handsome guy smiles, he looks more handsome.
Bobby is a fat halban, but maybe she wasn’t like that when she was young, right?
“I have a request for Jin, will you listen?”
“Please? To me?”
It’s a request from a rich man…
It smells like money.
“Whether it’s a request or a request, I’ll have to listen and decide.”
“Hahaha, that’s right. I was wrong. It’s a request, not a request.”
“Let’s hear it, shall we?”
“Please help the Dark Star become a horseman.”
“Yes? Tradition horse? What does that mean? Please elaborate.”
“Umm… So I’m asking you to help Darkstar win every competition he goes to.”
what a bullshit
how do i do that
“I heard about Jin’s ability not only from his grandfather, but from John here as well. It sounds like he has a special eye for it. Isn’t it?”
“……”
“Look, what Jin is curious about is how he can carry out my quest with that eye.”
“……yes.”
I answered with a little hesitation.
Because he was curious about his next words.
“I don’t know how much you know about thoroughbreds, but this breed can’t live on its own. It’s only specialized for speed, but it must be human.”
“……?”
“In a nutshell, racing is all about keeping your horses in perfect condition. Thoroughbreds are incredibly sensitive creatures. That’s why I chose this stall. It’s small, but there are a lot of great trainers, including John.”
“There are so many people, so why do you need me?”
“These people are excellent, but they can’t understand racehorses 100%. It’s the same for anyone. They can’t understand the language of horses. Thoroughbreds often suffer from digestive problems such as stomach upset, constipation, and diarrhea, as well as eating disorders that don’t eat fodder. Besides, it’s a glass leg that breaks easily with even a slight bump, and muscle cramps occur naturally after racing. A lot of people are sticking together.”
“I can’t fix that?”
“It can be fixed by people like John and Sarah. What’s important is how quickly you catch those parts. That’s the condition for being first-class. In my opinion, Jin goes beyond first-class to first-class. .If my guess is correct.”
“……”
It’s definitely understandable if that’s the case.
Why are you asking me, or are you making a request?
It’s really funny to hear.
A perfect breed, thoroughbreds and everything else, but it’s like taking care of a baby who can only run.
“Can’t you?”
“It’s not like that, but since I’m sitting as an outside director of Inham, I don’t think I can ignore the procedure very much. What I’m doing right now is going to various farms at the request of your grandfather and doing similar work. Chris’ request takes a lot of time. I think I’ll have to devote myself to it, but if I agree here, wouldn’t it overlap with Bobby’s prepared schedule?
I don’t want to cause problems for my grandson’s request separately.
He was getting enough money, so he didn’t want to be misunderstood.
“No. Grandpa knows…”
“yes?”
For a moment, I thought I heard it wrong.
“My grandfather shouldn’t even know that the Dark Star is alive. Absolutely.”
