Chapter 868 853. Contact Holden (45)
It took a day and twenty-five wild horses were sent to the stables.
In fact, there are still horses out there, far more than twenty-five, but the remaining horses are in poor condition, either with short legs or abnormal bone development.
Of course, the quality of the local tyrant's gold is also very poor, but as the saying goes, "the local tyrant's gold is among the kings among men", it is the only one, and it is impossible to have a second local tyrant's gold.
The stallions are all sent into single row stables, while the mares and ponies stay in double row stables.
Among them, the single row of stables has local tyrant Jin sitting in charge, and the double row of stables has the king of the dark horse, so although the horses entered the stables, although they were not happy, they reluctantly stayed there.
The wild horses can accept the status quo so quickly, in addition to thanking the local tyrant Jin and the dark horse king for guarding, they also have to thank Wang Bo for choosing this tall stable.
The most important thing for a horse is fresh air, it helps the horse stay healthy from colds and coughs, it helps the horse stay alert and in good shape.
But in the wild, changing wind conditions can easily catch the horses cold, or make the horse's coat not so neat and beautiful-wild horses also care about their appearance. Few people know that horses are actually members of the appearance association among animals.
The stables solved this problem by opening the windows higher, and even opening the windows on the ridge of the roof to facilitate ventilation.
In addition, there are exhaust fans around the stables for air renewal. The air in the stables is as fresh as the outside, and there is no strong wind. This environment is good for wild horses.
In addition, there is food. Ma Long temporarily acts as a horse trainer. He personally takes care of these horses, and the food he provides is much better than the weeds in the farm.
Therefore, especially those small wild horses, they quickly adapted to this environment after entering the stables.
Wang Bo has to continue to recruit. Ma Long is a horse trainer. He used to be a jockey for racing. He can take care of and train horses, but he cannot be used for cleaning and feeding.
With a horse farm, as long as these wild horses are tamed in the future, of course the key point is to tame those ponies, then the town can produce high-quality racing horses.
This is what Ma Long said. He said that there are many excellent breeds among these wild horses, and they can also achieve excellent results when they enter the racetrack. When he first mentioned this, he specifically used the local tyrant gold as an example.
Wang Bo felt that the farm had the ability to improve the stature and physical fitness of wild horses. He remembered that when these wild horses first arrived, they were actually very ugly and their physical fitness was poor.
The heart of the lord kept sending him surprises and pushing the town forward.
At the beginning of December, Wang Bo could use the turntable again. This time the turntable was green, which meant that he could draw a second-level lord's heart.
He chose to draw a lottery, the pointer turned, and it still stopped at the position of the heart of the territory, and then a second-level hospital heart beat out.
Wang Bo has nothing to say about this. The hospital is also an important building in a town. He put the heart of the second-level hospital on it, so that the hospital will change from light green to green in the position of the sand table.
After the lakeside project was completed, he needed to proceed with the promise he had made at the beginning, which was to build a bus system extending in all directions in Sunset Town.
Just like what he said at the meeting, he wanted to join hands with Holden Motor Company this time and return with a batch of high-end tourist cars empty-handed.
It just so happens that Kaplan Green, the general manager of the New Zealand branch of Holden Motors, is a member of the Labor Party. Now that the Green Party and the Labor Party have joined forces, Lao Wang can contact him more easily.
However, he still contacted Kaplan through Vajona, which seemed more formal, and he could also properly create momentum for himself in the subsequent negotiations.
Holden Motor Company is one of the most important automobile companies in the southern hemisphere. It has a long history. Its official history has been more than 100 years from the root. In 1852, James Alexander Holden, who immigrated to Australia from England, founded the J.A.Holden harness company. This is the origin of Holden's "ancestor".
After that, Holden gradually expanded from auto parts maintenance to the automotive field. The war in 1917 led Holden to the road of complete vehicle production, and they were mainly responsible for the manufacture of body shells.
However, Holden has a problem, that is, he is not good at walking by himself and has to find crutches, which has been the case from the beginning.
At first, Holden's first partner was Ford Motor, which helped it reach an annual output of 12,000 cars in 1923, and also helped it dominate the Australian market in 1924.
Later, it started to cooperate with GM. At that time, Holden had a technical advantage. They were very good at producing car bodies because of the war, which could be suitable for different models, including Chevrolet and Dodge.
It's a pity that the capital in the United States is the cruelest and most naked in the world. GM and Holden first cooperated, and then quickly attacked and acquired it into a sub-brand.
However, they have to thank the Australian government for its support. The Australian government has always wanted to be a national brand, so although Holden was acquired by GM, it still retains the independence of the brand.
This is also the reason why it is in a difficult situation now. It is the godson of GM, and it is impossible for GM to treat it like its own son.
Fortunately, Holden almost monopolized the Australian market throughout the 1950s. In 1953, Holden began to export to New Zealand. Three years later, the scope of export expanded to Malaysia, Thailand and other places. In 1957, the total export countries increased to 17, including Indonesia, Hong Kong, Singapore, Africa and other places.
At the end of the 1950s, Holden had more than 19,000 employees worldwide, and completed the construction of local assembly in South Africa and Indonesia.
It is a pity that after entering the 1980s and 1990s, the Australian Customs continued to reduce the import tax rate of automobiles, from the previous 57.5% to 22.5%, and finally to 15%.
But Australia's population is not large enough for car manufacturers to cope with such low import tax rates, which ultimately wiped out Australia's domestic car industry.
By now, Holden is no longer visible in the sedan segment, and in 2011 they had to apply for a $149 million subsidy from the government to survive.
In New Zealand, the situation of Holden Motor Company is even more critical, and it is almost withdrawn from the market, because the New Zealand government does not give it any subsidies, and this is not a local industrial brand in New Zealand.
On the first Monday in early December, Wang Boyue arrived in Kaplan and took a helicopter to go north to Oakley, which is thousands of miles away from Sunset Town, to discuss with Kaplan.
Kaplan received Wang Bo very warmly. He is a middle-aged Caucasian with a great temperament, with a loud voice and sharp eyes. He is a standard Caucasian social elite.
