Chapter 350 Business Expansion
Hera and Bry’s uncle laughed heartily as they watched the father-and-son duo throw playful retorts at each other. Their humorous antics were a testament to their close bond. Meanwhile, Bry often glanced at Hera, hoping she would side with him in their friendly disputes.
"Alright, alright, you two, enough," Bry’s uncle said with a grin. Despite his attempt to sound serious, the smile on his face was unmistakable. He looked noticeably happier than before, his eyes shining with renewed light—a clear sign that he was doing great.
Hera smiled contentedly as she watched everyone enjoying themselves. Bry, his father, and his uncle were thriving in the property she had lent them, maintaining it with impressive care and keeping it clean and tidy.
"By the way, Hera, after exploring the city yesterday, I had an idea to expand my horse breeding business here. While my brother is recuperating and needs time to stay here, I thought it would be a good opportunity to establish a steady income. This would help us prepare for my son’s education and cover my brother’s recovery expenses."
"Although Doctor Everett has generously offered free surgery, we still need to budget for my brother’s rehabilitation and medication, which will require a significant amount of money," Bry’s father explained. He noticed his younger brother looking embarrassed and gave him a reassuring pat on the shoulder with a smile.
"Uncle, that’s actually a brilliant idea! Let me think for a moment." Hera placed her fingers thoughtfully under her chin as if pondering with a beard. After a brief pause, her eyes sparkled with inspiration. "How about renting some of your horses to the private racecourse? The upper circle often visits the Avery’s racecourse in the suburbs and frequently rents horses from there. If your horses catch their interest, they might even want to buy them. The Avery family has their own racecourse for leisure, but since neither the Old Master Avery nor their heiress visit it often, they allow other families to use it. It could be a great opportunity for you."
That location evolved into a lucrative business opportunity, as many affluent individuals are passionate about equestrian activities. It has become a popular venue not only for leisure but also for business discussions, similar to how golf and other sports are utilized by businessmen.
"The Avery family?! Wasn’t that a conglomerate?" Bry’s father exclaimed, his voice rising in surprise. The unexpected outburst drew the attention of several people nearby. Realizing his mistake, he quickly covered his mouth, becoming aware of the commotion he had caused.
"That’s right; they don’t have a dedicated breeder on staff. Typically, they either purchase champion horses from equestrian races or hire breeders when they decide to breed their top horses. Given that you have the champion and first runner-up from the previous national horse race, you might want to give it a try. They could very well become your first customers," Hera said, boosting Bry’s father’s confidence and encouraging him to seize the opportunity.
Everything she mentioned was accurate, but since it had been a while since her last visit, she wasn’t sure about the current quality or quantity of horses in their stables or how many had been purchased by others. She planned to ask Cindy about this later. Despite this, Hera felt confident that the idea was feasible with Bry’s father, especially considering her own positive experience with their horses.
Thus, she could frame this as a business opportunity rather than a simple favor, ensuring Bry’s father wouldn’t feel uncomfortable.
"But how should I approach them? I know I can’t just drive onto their property in the suburbs without an invitation, as such places typically require one," Bry’s father said, frowning in concern.
