What an ancient horse breed tells us about the ‘Chinese dream’

Hey guys i am back with my new post and todays post is going to be a little bit intresting because a founder brought a horse at the price of billion!

Chen Zhifeng, founder and chairman of Yema Trading Group in Urumqi, has spent 2 billion yuan (US$312.2 million) since 2009 buying and breeding Akhal-teke horses, a national breed from Turkmenistan that dates back to prehistoric times.

Chen has boasted that he owns the world’s largest collection of Akhal-teke horses – called “heavenly horses” in ancient Chinese texts – with more than 300 to his name.

His latest batch – 12 females and nine males – has been under quarantine at the China-Kazakhstan border since arriving on December 23.

When they are cleared to leave, the horses will be moved to Chen’s horse farm in the northwestern Chinese city of Urumqi, Xinjiang, where they are to join 120 other members of the breed.

The Akhal-teke’s speed and stamina was so prized during military conflicts that China’s emperor Wu, the seventh ruler of the Han dynasty (206BC-AD220), waged two wars just to acquire some.

Well, every single person has their own passion of doing their on thing and if we really want to do it just go for it just like this founder he brought his own horse.
