Hokkaido Horse Racing Story.

Chapter 85 Idiot and Idiot

“Finally, there’s the cost of renting the stables during quarantine and acclimatization training.”

Kana Ogawa raised her right hand and pressed down the last finger.

"The total is 8.1 million yen."

This is the transportation cost that the camp needs to bear after deducting the NAR expedition bonus.

The girl spread out her five fingers again and waved her slender palm in front of Kitano's face.

"Eight million one hundred thousand?"

Kitano pursed his lips slightly.

Then, he nodded.

"I think that's acceptable."

It's a smaller number than expected.

"Then it's up to Mr. Kitano to decide."

Ogawa Kana sighed as if giving up.

"Even if I get five points in the Saudi Derby, I could still lose money. Is that okay?"

Huangshan reminded from the side.

As trainers, it is also their responsibility to assist owners in assessing the risks and benefits of running before a race.

Although he has an optimistic forecast for Mejiro Sakuya's strength, he also doesn't dare to pat his chest and guarantee that the Saudi Derby will definitely be included.

"no problem."

Kitano nodded.

“Please also take into consideration the cost of returning home.”

Ogawa Kana paused tapping her fingers on the keyboard and then spoke.

"Whether it's coming back from the Middle East or the United States."

"So, I'll contact Flyt Express?"

Ogawa Masaru raised his hand cautiously.

"Go ahead, and ask them if they can make it cheaper."

The girl waved her hands as if to shoo away a fly.

Xuhe Sheng slipped out of the private room as if he had been pardoned.

"And since we arrived early, the camp will have to bear the extra costs for accommodation and meals."

Withdrawing her gaze, Ogawa Kana continued typing on the keyboard quickly.

"To avoid booking failures or price fluctuations, it's best to start preparing now."

After saying that, the girl turned the personal computer screen to Kitano's side.

It lists a long list of hotels with prices ranging from $75 to $1300 a night.

“So expensive!”

After taking a closer look, Huangshan couldn't help but smack his lips.

Then, he quietly observed Kitano's expression.

He looked very calm and didn't seem to be intimidated by the hotel prices.

“This hotel has a great location, but it’s too expensive.”

"This one is cheaper, but it's a little far away."

“This one.”

As he scrolled down the list, he excluded hotels one by one from his choices for various reasons.

As the options became fewer and fewer, Kitano's expression unconsciously became a little stiff.

"how about this?"

Wada pointed to one of the columns.

The hotel he recommended was not too far from the stadium.

"Is the suite okay?"

Kitano asked after reading the hotel introduction.

"No, on the contrary, it would be strange if we didn't stay in a suite during the expedition."

Huangshan quickly shook his head and explained.

"Ah?"

Kitano showed a somewhat surprised expression.

“These conditions are already very good.”

Wada also nodded in agreement.

Ogawa Kana walked around behind Kitano and said seriously, "Although it's a little more expensive than the nearby hotels, it's actually quite reasonable considering that breakfast and dinner are included in the price."

"That's right. Moreover, a conference room equipped with projection equipment and fax and copy services will also be of great help to the camp."

Huangshan, wearing reading glasses, stood beside Kitano at some point.

"Then let's go with this one."

Including the vacant hoof trimmer position, three rooms need to be booked.

从2月2日开始入住，到招待方开始提供住宿的2月11日，含税一共是43万5千100円。    再一次，北野真切感受到了远征的不易。

"Good news, everyone!"

Opening the door, Ogawa Sheng walked in with a smug look on his face.

"Although we couldn't get the price down, Flyt Express was willing to provide us with free car rental services during our stay in Saudi Arabia."

The boy's face had an expression that said "Come and praise me".

"Well done, Sheng."

Kitano clapped in agreement.

"A Sheng——"

Ogawa Kana hooked her finger and pushed the personal computer into Ogawa Katsu's hand.

"Go fill out the check-in form."

The boy's face instantly turned bitter.

But he still took the computer obediently.

"Just leave this kind of thing to me."

Kitano glanced at the girl's profile and said.

"He just happens to be good at computers anyway."

Ogawa Kana sat down next to Kitano and poured herself a cup of barley tea.

"In this business, if you don't go easy on the fools, you won't last long."

After drinking the barley tea in one gulp, the girl sighed like an uncle.

"Miss Xuhe, are you talking about me?"

Kitano's face felt slightly hot.

From the outset, the arrangements for the expedition were riddled with errors.

As a horse owner, he has indeed reached the level of a fool.

The girl didn't say anything, but turned her head and looked into Kitano's eyes.

Then, he suddenly covered his mouth and laughed.

At this time, Xu Hesheng sent a message in the group.

[Everyone - can you send me the passport information in the group? ]

Followed by a pitiful-looking crying cat emoji.

Picking up his phone, Kitano flipped through the photo album.

I sent a photo of my passport with the collection mark.

When I opened the notification bar, I was a little surprised.

In the past ten minutes or so, I have received an explosion of private message requests.

Moreover, they were all sent by the same person.

Just in case, Kitano clicked on the other party's personal homepage first.

The sender appears to be a European male in his twenties who uses his real name as his ID. The top message is a photo taken in front of a stable.

He doesn't look like a suspicious person.

Carefully opened the private message window.

@Schmidt: Mr. Kitano, I'm good at writing, English, and Japanese. I'm also pretty good. I'd love to apply!

@Schmidt: My father and I started learning how to shoe the horses when we were young, and I was an apprentice hoof trimmer for two years.

@Schmidt: Mr. Kitano, please give me a chance. Even sleeping in the stable is fine!

The last message was sent a minute ago.

@Schmidt: Please, Mr. Kitano, I really like MEJIRO!

Kitano frowned and exited the private message window.

What's happening here?
If it was a prank, it was a bit too deliberate.

I opened the sender's follow list and saw the official account of a certain game.

Then, he showed a somewhat relieved expression.

【@Kitano：If you wish to apply, please send your resume to the following email address

[email protected]】

[@Kitano: In addition, this recruitment does not support online interviews. If you can accept it, please go to the on-site interview. ]

I received a reply from the other party instantly.

@Schmidt: No problem!

In a small workshop in Aschheim, Bavaria, Germany, a creepy laugh suddenly rang out.

"Dad, lend me 500 euros—"

"You bastard, you want to top up your mobile game again, right?"

Then, there was a chaotic commotion.
