Chapter 1209 Happy Valley
Although it is a son-in-law relationship, but Zhuang Rui and Qin’s jewelry between the money to and fro, or very clear, even if the acceptance of the old man a jewelry store, Qin Ruilin behind the supply of goods, but also paid the money.
And Qin Haoran, although he knows Zhuang Rui is worth a lot of money, but on Zhuang Rui exactly how much money, is not very clear, now see Zhuang Rui a mouth to send a few hundred million U.S. dollars, even if he has been through a long time business sea, that is also unable to sit down.
To know, can get the Macau gambling license, is like raising a will lay golden eggs old hen, can from the annual tens of billions of dollars of Macau casinos to get a piece of the pie, and meddle in the gambling industry, is to be able to let the Qin family from the traditional jewelry industry, to further consolidate its position in Hong Kong’s luxury family.
“Dad, I’m not very interested in the gambling industry, besides with the background of my mother’s side of the family, having shares in Macau is also easy to be gossiped about, I’ve thought about it for a long time, and decided that it’s better to transfer these shares to the Qin family’s jewelry, I don’t know if you’re willing to take it over, dad?”
To his old man, Zhuang Rui also has nothing to hide, these words are heart, before coming to Macau, Ouyang Zhenwu once and Zhuang Rui had a deep conversation, there is mention of the Macau casino shares of the matter.
Although the domestic political family, have all kinds of industry, but gambling in the country is illegal, Zhuang Rui owns the shares of the Macau gambling company, in the future may also become a topic of attack. And an important point is that Zhuang Rui is afraid of trouble, although the several gambling games he has participated in have gained very lucrative profits, the risks involved are also self-evident.
The assassination of the Thousand Sect’s members and the robbery in the United States seemed to be caused by the word “gambling”, Zhuang Rui no longer wanted to get involved with these “games” with a black background.
Qin Haoran stared at Zhuang Rui’s eyes and asked, “Xiao Rui, if you really want to transfer your shares to Qin’s Jewelry, will you have no regrets in the future?”
Although it was only fifteen percent of the new company, with the prosperity of the gambling industry, perhaps in a few years’ time, Qin’s wealth gained through these shares was going to exceed their traditional jewelry profits.
Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, “Dad, I can’t use up all my money in my lifetime now, there’s nothing to regret, how about this! You let the lawyer draft a share transfer agreement, when we go to Macau next Saturday, I’ll communicate with the fourth wife and sign it after the company’s board of directors passes it.”
“Then …… Xiao Rui how much do you want to transfer this fifteen percent of the shares of Qin for?”
When it comes to business, Qin Haoran also got serious, a son-in-law is a son-in-law, but one size does not fit all, Zhuang Rui is talking about a transfer rather than a gift, and Qin has to show enough sincerity.
“Three hundred million dollars will do, that’s the same money I put into the company in the first place.”
The seven hundred million dollars that Zhuang Rui had won in the United States had originally been given to Huangfu Yun, wanting it to be invested into the Definitive Light Foundation, but later on, he had taken back three hundred million dollars and invested it inside the fourth wife’s new company.
“Xiao Rui, that’s too much of a loss for you, how about this! On behalf of Qin Clan, I’ll give you six hundred million dollars to buy fifteen percent of your shares in Macau.”
Hong Kong’s top tycoons, almost all of them have more or less involvement with several of Macau’s biggest gambling companies, occupying a considerable share in them. Can enter the Macau gambling company, also represents the status of a family, such as Qin’s jewelry in Hong Kong is not a small business, before is not dare to have the luxury of this hope.
And to the gambling company’s ability to absorb money, six hundred million dollars but a few years can return to the capital, so Qin Haoran out of the six hundred million price, although than Zhuang Rui said the price is twice as high, but it is not a high price, if Zhuang Rui this fifteen percent of the shares out to the public sale, I believe that is one billion is also someone willing to take over.
“OK, Dad you look at the arrangement! This money …… will be hit to my domestic stereo foundation.”
Zhuang Rui in the domestic charity foundation, now the scale and influence has been more and more big, originally by the Macao cheats under the set cheated hundreds of millions of Bi Yuntao, is now like a well-known domestic charitable organizations agent.
With the help of Ouyang Jun, many of the country’s first-tier stars are also involved in the charitable projects of the Daylight Foundation, from a certain extent also increased the popularity of the Daylight Museum.
Like this time the state seal in the Dingguang Museum for the first exhibition of the news published out, many know the Dingguang Museum people are screaming, the Palace Museum earns so much money every year, also did not see them to take out some charitable projects.
Negotiated the shares of Macao, Zhuang Rui the next two days, with his family and Timur in Hong Kong to play up, Ocean Park Dinisland and other famous attractions in Hong Kong, are left behind their figure.
In the third day of arrival in Hong Kong, Zhuang Rui accepted the invitation of Pak Mong-on, to go to the scene to watch the horse race, according to Pak Mong-on’s statement, has not been to Happy Valley people, never be able to imagine that kind of horse racing, all the people hold their breath of the intense and tense atmosphere.
Located between Wan Chai and Causeway Bay, the Happy Valley Racecourse was first built on a swampy piece of land, and is equipped with giant computer screens and a variety of state-of-the-art facilities, with a seating capacity of more than 55,000 spectators.
At night, the racecourse is as brightly lit as the daytime, and the view is stunning. At the entrance of the racecourse, countless people are lining up to enter the racecourse.
Like the European professional soccer leagues, horse racing in Hong Kong is conducted on a yearly basis, with a season starting in early September and ending in late June of the following year.
The entire season has a total of 78 races, every week in two days, respectively arranged night and day races each one, general day race is from 1:30 pm, the number of races for 10 races, the night race is from 7:30 pm, the number of races for 7 races, Zhuang Rui and others are now looking at is the night race.
“Brother Zhuang, turn around and I’ll introduce you to horse racing, you go buy a few horses too! I’m going to follow with the colorful horses that follow you.”
Bo Mengan led Zhuang Rui and his party, entering the horse racing track from another gate, and came to the previously booked place, the beer garden, which was close to the grass track and had the best location to watch the races, and also had some self-service barbecue, which could be eaten while watching, making it the best place to entertain friends.
“Khan, brother Bo, if this is about horse racing, I can’t do it, let me Timur Anta look at it is more or less the same, that is, Qiqiqi are much better than me.”
Zhuang Rui laughed and waved his hands, turned back to look toward the high stands, and was startled, “Brother Ber, this …… this can be really lively ah!”
The place where Zhuang Rui and the others were at was the bottom of the Happy Valley, and the surrounding stands were densely packed with heads, so one could imagine how grand the scene of tens of thousands of people exchanging horse scriptures together would be.
Last year, during the Beijing Olympics, Zhuang Rui had also gone to the scene to watch some of the races, but even for the hottest races, the atmosphere was nowhere near as lively as at the expansive racecourse.
“Brother Zhuang, this is a night racecourse, it’s even more lively during the daytime, hey, Miss Qin doesn’t like horse racing, if I didn’t let Yaoya accompany her, I wouldn’t have dared to call out to you.”
Bo Mengan originally did not address Qin Xuan Bing so politely, but concerned about Zhuang Rui’s feelings, did not directly address Qin Xuan Bing’s name, but shouted Miss Qin.
Because through Zhuang Rui got acquainted with Ouyang Jun, Park Meng An’s business in the mainland in these years, is also smooth, in the family is very much praised by the elders, is so Zhuang Rui every time to come to Hong Kong, Park Meng An will have to do some of the landlord’s friendship.
“Oh, Xuan Bing a little bull’s-eye, we do not say to her to know, Qiqige, hear?”
Although Zhuang Rui has some aversion to gambling, but for this kind of competitive win/loss guessing, but is excited, just like he also like to watch soccer, will also buy some football lottery, in Zhuang Rui’s eyes, this is purely a kind of test of one’s own vision of the game only.
“I know, I won’t tell Sister Qin, Brother Park, when will the horse race start?”
To say that the most excited person after coming to the racecourse, it still has to belong to Uyun Qiqiqi, horse racing itself is a reserved program of the Mongolians, being able to enjoy horse racing from afar in Hong Kong makes the little girl’s eyes light up.
“Qiqiqi, it will take a while, let me introduce the rules to you guys! After you figure it out, just let me know which horse you guys want to bet on.”
The place where Zhuang Rui and the others were was the VIP area, on the seats in front of them, there was a touch screen attached, from this touch screen, one could understand the situation of all the horses competing today, in addition, one could also log into one’s own account, and operate the betting matters directly on it.
“This, also can’t see anything ah!”
Zhuang Rui flipped through the touch screen for a while, a little confused, because each race has at least ten or more horses competing, seven is seventy to eighty, want to pick the favorite horse from here, not often study the horse scriptures, it is really impossible to do.
In addition there are some rider’s profile, densely packed to see Zhuang Rui and others is dizzy, and the horse used in those competitions, almost all the colorful high horse, even Timur and Uyunqiqi Ge can not see good or bad to.
Bo Mengan also knows that wanting Zhuang Rui and the others to understand these horse races in a short period of time is simply an impossible thing, and said with a bitter smile: ”Brother Zhuang, this …… is considered a gamble of luck! But I can guarantee that every horse competing here is world-class.”
Bo Mengan’s words caused Wuyun Qiqig to be a bit unconvinced and spoke, “What’s the big deal about being taller, my Little White can definitely outrun them.”
“Qiqige, don’t talk big, let’s watch a game first! These horses are all good breed horses, with short bursts of power, much better than our Mongolian horses.”
Timur was a great expert in playing with horses, although he was only looking at the display, he also saw some clues from the horses’ physique.
