Chapter 523: new friend

"Mr. Eric, please allow me the honor to introduce you my closest partner-Black Lightning, come, Black Lightning, and say hello to our new friend."
In the stable, a tall horse with black silk and satin as shiny and smooth as a tall horse proudly raised its huge head, glanced at Tan Zhenhua with slanted eyes, and then slapped a big nose, spraying Tan Zhenhua's saliva. Later, he turned his face away disdainfully.
George Herbert shrugged awkwardly: "It seems that he doesn't like you very much."
Tan Zhenhua stretched out his hand and wiped it on his face, wiped off the spit stars sprayed on his face by the black lightning, and spread his hands helplessly: "Well, I have to admit, I feel the same way."
George laughed and said, "Mr. Eric, I have to admit that I am relieved to see that neither of you like each other very much. I am really worried that it will empathize with each other!"
Tan Zhenhua winked at George and said, "No, no, George, I have other hobbies for riding, you know, right?"
The eldest son of the seventh Earl of Carnarvon, Mr. George Herbert is 19 years old. He has just graduated from the famous British aristocratic school, Eton College, and entered the Law Department of Oxford University. He is still Barrister Yu Pengxia. Alumni and younger brother.
However, judging from the performance that he understood Tan Zhenhua's meaning in an instant, he was well-studied and elegant, but under his polite appearance, he also concealed a wild heart.
George Herbert was stunned for a moment, and then there was a weird look on his face. It was an expression that wanted to laugh but embarrassed, but his mouth said: "Oh, Eric, you are not a man. The gentleman should be talking about it."
Tan Zhenhua said solemnly: "Mr. George, you are the future Earl of Carnarvon, the successor of Highclere Manor, so you are a true gentleman."
Then he pointed to himself and said: "Look, I am just a businessman chasing profits, so I am not a gentleman, and I will never be."
George Herbert shook his head and said, "No, Eric, I can go to Oxford because of my family background, but you can go to Stanford but you are your own ability. Don't tell me a person who has passed into Stanford. The guy is not a gentleman, I don't believe it."
Tan Zhenhua curled his lips and said: "Stanford, that school can train paranoid technocrats, crazy CEOs, or greedy investors, but it just can't train a qualified gentleman. Well, although I was still in that school I haven't stayed for a few days, but I really haven't seen any guy who is qualified to be called a gentleman."
George Herbert finally couldn't help laughing. "Yes, your views are exactly the same as everyone in our school. Oh, yes, they are not only talking about Stanford, they are talking about the entire country. University."
"Yes, when I was studying in Oxford, my classmates also said the same. They looked down on those vulgar cowboys or shaggy hobos from the bottom of their hearts." Yu Pengxia, who had been a little transparent for a long time, finally found a way to express her existence. opportunity.
Tan Zhenhua replied with a shrug: "However, perhaps the progress of society needs more than just gentlemen, so who knows?"
George Herbert smiled: "Eric, what you said may be right, but this doesn't seem to be something that we should consider at our age. I came to ride a horse today. Would you like to join me?"
Tan Zhenhua had no choice but to replied angrily: "I have never rode." Then he turned to ask Yu Pengxia: "Pengxia, have you ever rode?"
Yu Pengxia also shook her head and said: "When I was studying in Britain, it was a penny that had to be broken into eight petals. Where can I have spare money to play this?"
George scratched his head and said, "Well, that's okay. Fortunately, there are a few more docile mares in our stable. You can try to ride them. As for me, um, of course I still want to go with me. The beloved Black Lightning is together. You know, it is a thoroughbred horse. According to the pedigree record of the "General Register", it is a direct descendant of one of the three ancestral stallions, "Godelfin Babu". And the blood is very pure."
Well, George’s compulsion is still not installed after all. What ancestral stallion, what "General Register", what "Godelphin Babu", these two people on the opposite side obviously don't know anything, which makes him pause. It's hard to find a friend, and I feel like playing the piano.
While talking, the jockey has helped Tan Zhenhua and Yu Pengxia choose two batches of docile mares and helped them to mount, while George Herbert took out the "Black Lightning" by himself and mounted it on Riding equipment.
"Black Lightning" obviously understood the purpose of the master’s coming today. It seemed very excited. After George rolled over the saddle, he made a long hiss, and then started a trot. When George lowered his body, his whole body was lying on his stomach. When it was on its back, its pace visibly accelerated, and after a while it began to gallop. Its figure, like a black lightning, struck across the grasslands of the racecourse.
Tan Zhenhua and Yu Pengxia are both on the horse for the first time. No matter where they dare to make big moves, both of them carefully tightened the reins, fearing that the horse might get the wrong idea and run with his two rookies. , I'm afraid I might break my neck...
George Herbert ran a few laps around the racetrack. He had a good time. Seeing the trembling looks of his two guests, he couldn’t help being amused. However, he came today not just to see him. The beloved baby "Black Lightning", he also shoulders an important mission.
So, after finishing his addiction, he slowed down his horse and came to Tan Zhenhua and Yu Pengxia.
Tan Zhenhua praised: "George, your riding skills are really good. I have time in the future and I have to learn from you."
George Herbert replied quite arrogantly: "Yes, I have loved equestrian since I was a kid. When I was young, my dream was to be an excellent jockey and fight against others on the racetrack. Think about it. That is a passionate thing, but it is a pity that my identity is destined to be unable to realize this ideal. It is a pity."
He immediately looked at Tan Zhenhua and said, "Eric, how many days will you stay here? If I am not busy with my studies, I can really find time to teach you horse riding. Horse riding is a very important social means in Britain. "
Tan Zhenhua smiled and said: "I, I want to stay here for a few more days. Highclere Manor is so beautiful, but you know, we have been here for a long time, and the work is almost done, Stanford School actually started a long time ago. Oh, after all, I haven't even taken a class... You said, will they expel me for it?"
George Herbert smiled unchangingly and replied, "That's a shame. I wanted to talk to you more, but since you are leaving, I have to see you next time. "
The trio talked and laughed, and they all got off their horses and threw the reins to the jockeys who came to meet them. Just as Tan Zhenhua was about to say goodbye, George seemed to ask casually: "Oh, right Eric , Someone told me that "Red Flag Fund" and "Gangteng Fund" are both under your management. Is this true?"
