Once, I accompanied the boss on a visit to a major client, whose residence was particularly extravagant. After concluding our business discussions, the three of us engaged in casual conversation. Out of curiosity, I asked the boss how he had made his first fortune, only to find out that he had won it through gambling. He shared that on an exceptionally unlucky day, after losing a substantial amount of money and feeling desperate, he decided to take one more gamble. At that moment, he told himself that he would quit gambling after this last attempt. As fate would have it, he ended up winning consistently that day, deciding to bet on anything and everything he could. Returning home with his newfound wealth, he pondered how to use the money. He mentioned that he truly won a significant amount, enabling him to start a small business. The small business, of course, couldn't bring in as much money, prompting him to venture into stock investments, which turned out to be a smooth and successful journey.
After sharing this story, I couldn't help but feel tempted to try my luck at gambling, thinking that maybe I could also strike it rich overnight. Later, the boss graciously gave us a tour of his mansion, which featured a garden, a swimming pool, a small cinema, and a playground for children. All of these were beyond our imagination. He then took us to see his pets, and to my naive surprise, I thought they were just ordinary cats and dogs. I was wrong—it turned out he owned a horse, a purebred horse! It ranked as the world's most expensive pet, a purebred horse. The wealthy not only pursue luxury cars but also prize horses. Purebred horses are recognized as the best horse breeds for riding. The price of top-notch purebred horses can reach up to 64 million dollars, leaving me envious beyond words. |
