Chapter 218 Racing Pigeons and Lottery

Xiao Shaoji spends money generously, but his cousin can't figure it out. He suspects that his money came from something illegitimate. Sang Qiang's 1000 yuan worth of stuff is hung around his neck and is flaunted everywhere. Did he do some business with Sang Qiang?Xing Yi was a little curious, so he wanted to find an opportunity to meet and talk with Xiao Shaoji alone.

After taking a break at noon, I took a call from Secretary-General Gu. Secretary-General Gu said: "Xing Yi, regarding what I told you last time, Boss Zhu of the Flying Pigeon Center has drafted the agreement and specially invites you to come over tomorrow. Come, meet and communicate with several pigeon racing experts, and sign the agreement. In addition to asking me to call you personally, you also want me to tell you that you are the host and guest, and I hope you will definitely come."

The last time Secretary Gu mentioned was when he sent the batch of young pigeons to the center.Those ten young pigeons were bred for Gusheng. When the young pigeons were delivered, he was waiting there.

The young pigeons are inspected and put into the observation shed. After a few days of observation, if everything is normal, they are injected with seedlings and then put into the greenhouse.

After inspecting them one by one, they praised them for being well-raised and they were all top-grade. They joked with Boss Zhu on the spot: "If the young pigeons we sent cannot get high rankings by then, then that's your flight center's problem." .”

Secretary-General Gu said that pigeons of the GK200 bloodline have strong genes, are fast and stable in short and medium distances, and have a high return rate, making them very suitable for participating in one-loft races.

Secretary-General Gu firmly believed in this pigeon and urged Xing Yi to send his ten pigeons in time.I believe that the descendants of these twenty famous pigeons will shine in the flying racing pigeon center.

There are only five or six pairs of pigeons in Xing Yi's shed. He has just bred ten secretary-general pigeons, and it is not easy to breed ten more pigeons immediately.

Boss Zhu said seriously: "There are three things to pay attention to in pigeon racing: seed, strength, luck. The secretary-general's pigeon seed is of the highest quality. The next step is the raising and training of our center. Don't worry about this. I will use my His personality guarantees that all pigeons entering the flight center will enjoy the same feeding and management services, and there will never be any illusions about one being thicker than the other. There are 36 cameras in the shed for pigeon fanciers to check at any time. When it comes to competitions The pigeons were inspected and scanned one by one by the Provincial Pigeon Association's referee team, loaded into a special racing pigeon cart, and sealed. There were also pigeon fanciers supervising the car at the release site. With a command, the pigeons were released and flew into the sky. It all depends on how far they flew back. Is the journey safe and smooth? If we encounter natural enemies, sudden changes in climate, are blocked and return late, and fail to get a ranking, then it can only be said to be bad luck."

Xing Yi has already read the competition rules for this year, which were also sent to him by Secretary-General Gu before.Secretary-General Gu recommended that the rules of the Flying Pigeon Center are relatively good, fair and reasonable.The central location has obvious advantages. It is surrounded by beautiful mountains and clear waters and is relatively far from the downtown area. It is an ideal place for pigeon racing.

Xing Yi has read the regulations and thinks they are very good. The competition time, level, distance, entry fee, number of prizes, etc. are all explained in detail.

Forty days after hatching, the young pigeons are sent to the central greenhouse when they are about to be released from the cage. The center organizes professionals to uniformly raise and train them for competition.We all live together and start from the same starting line, which truly reflects fairness.

After four months of growth in the one loft, the young pigeons are basically adult pigeons and they need to participate in intensive training to prepare for the season.

Previously, starting from the age of two and a half months, the center organized several short-distance training sessions ranging from [-] kilometers to [-] kilometers. During this period, no fees were charged.

In the preparation stage for the season, electronic rings are put on the legs of the pigeons for electronic scanning to record the time they return to the nest and enter the shed after each release.At this time, fees start to be charged. The entry fee for pigeons in the shed is 200 yuan per pigeon. If there are still [-] pigeons in the shed by then, the total fee will be [-] million yuan.

There are a total of five races throughout the season. The first race is 160 kilometers away, and each subsequent race is 3000 kilometers away, in ascending order. The fifth race is 50 kilometers away.Each station has 40 ranking rewards, and the bonus is generally not less than 30 yuan; the fifth station has the highest bonus, with the champion 50, the runner-up 40, the third runner-up 30, the fourth to tenth place each [-], and so on. The last prize is [-] yuan.At the end of the five races, the results of the five races will be accumulated and ranked, and the top [-] will be awarded the overall ace pigeon award. The first place will also be [-], the second place will be [-], the third place will be [-], and the following are all [-].

Pigeon racing means that all pigeon fanciers pay money to be sent to a central loft to compete together, and all the money paid is used for prize money. This seems to be a good thing. With this platform, you can send your own pigeons to participate and win. Get bonus after ranking.

This is indeed a good platform for those who like to raise pigeons for competition.

Secretary-General Gu’s own shed is small and the number of young pigeons he breeds is very small, so he shifted his goal to Xing Yi’s pigeon shed in Jinxiu County.He also said that after successfully competing this year, he would double the number next year and breed [-] pigeons for him.

Secretary-General Gu kept a secret. Maybe he didn’t want to be too public. The pigeons handed over to the flying center were all in the name of his wife.

After sending away the ten young pigeons of Secretary-General Gu, Xing Yi began to breed his own ten pigeons. In this way, there was a time difference of nearly a month between the two batches of pigeons.

But this does not affect the pigeons' normal participation in the competition. Four months later, all the pigeons are about the same size, and there is basically no difference. Even if there is, Xing Yi recognizes it. After all, Secretary-General Gu is from the province. A celebrity in the pigeon world.

Xing Yi also understands that such activities are different from horse racing and betting. Although the form is different, the content is basically the same. Because pigeon racing started late, the relevant regulations are not very standardized, so it is supervised by local associations. But it's basically just assistance and observation, not supervision, so it's quite tricky.

If the owner of the center wants to make money, there is one way to go, which is to organize pigeon fanciers to participate in the lottery. However, this part of the regulations is not detailed in the regulations, leaving room for it and indicating that it will be formulated separately.The signing ceremony will be held after further consultation on the relevant agreement.

Later, Secretary-General Gu briefly spoke on the phone.

Lottery is organized for all five competitions. Before the pigeons are collected, the center issues regulations and sets up several projects. The payment and admission quota for each project are determined accordingly. The pigeon master arbitrarily designates a pigeon of his choice and follows the designated level regulations. The registration fee is paid. After the competition starts, the designated pigeons fly back and enter the designated range to win the prize. The fees for each event range from one hundred yuan to 3000 yuan. In this way, five fees are paid five times for five competitions, and five fees are paid. If the pigeons take the lead all the way and win the championship in each event, then when all the winnings are combined, the amount will be in the millions.

In the end, there will be a 5000-kilometer elite competition. The lottery fee is 300 yuan, and the total amount exceeds tens of millions. The pigeons that come out on top and participate in the lottery can get more than [-] million yuan in bonuses for their owners just for this award. .

At the end of the season, the winning pigeons will be auctioned. At the auction, buyers gather. The starting auction price for the champion is generally not less than 15, the second and third place is more than 85, and the lowest is [-].Some award-winning pigeons were born from famous bloodlines and were selected by famous people to participate in competitions. The auction prices have been rising, and many of them have sold for millions. The organizer deducts [-]% of the handling fee, and the pigeon owner gets [-]%.

Secretary-General Gu said that pigeons of the GK200 bloodline have strong genes, are fast and stable in short and medium distances, and have a high return rate, making them very suitable for participating in one-loft races.

Secretary-General Gu finally said that Boss Zhu also has a secret agreement, which is to be finalized after consultation with several well-known pigeon fanciers at the most appropriate opportunity, so let’s try to make it happen.
