Chapter 1217 – Betting on Horses (II)
Due to the publicity of the outside world, Zhuang Rui in the crowd’s impression, always is an antique and archaeology expert’s image, coupled with the fact that these Chinese rich businessmen have a lot of things to do, it’s impossible to pay attention to Zhuang Rui such a person’s, so in addition to a few a few people, are not very clear about his wealth.
“Young man, don’t be afraid of him, I’ll help you out with this money.”
Although Guo Daheng is also over eighty years old, but still fighting spirit, for people very four seas, open mouth to help Zhuang Rui out of this 100 million Hong Kong dollars bet.
As soon as Guo Daheng’s words fell, the King of Gamblers sitting on the wheelchair said vaguely: “Mr. Guo, he doesn’t need you to pay for it, this little guy’s worth a lot of money! Let alone 100 million Hong Kong dollars, even 100 million pounds he can take out.”
“Oh? The little guy is good, when I was your age, I didn’t have that much money.”
Guo Daheng glanced at Zhuang Rui in surprise, but then his heart was relieved, with Zhuang Rui’s connections in the mainland, it’s not easy to get money? Only he didn’t know that Zhuang Rui’s ability to earn such a rich fortune didn’t have the slightest relationship with the Ouyang family.
Zhuang Rui didn’t explain, smiled slightly, turned his face to look at Dr. Shu Wen, and said: ”Since Dr. Shu is interested, then of course the latecomer has to go next, if you say one hundred million, then it’s one hundred million! By the way, if anyone thinks Dr. Shu can win, no matter how much they press, I’ll accept it.”
Zhuang Rui’s words heard Guo Daheng patted his thighs and praised: “Good young people should be like this, Hong Kong’s young people nowadays, either playing sports cars or playing with women, and Xiao Zhuang than can be far from it.”
However, Guo Daheng’s words hit the surface is also too wide, surrounded by those young people outside the corridor is immediately in tears, “You praise Zhuang Rui even if, involve us what ah? Isn’t this a case of lying down and getting shot too?”
“Mr. Zhuang, we also want to bet, do you accept?”
A voice suddenly came out from outside the corridor, but it was the younger generation of a bold super-rich man in the field, who must have felt indignant at Guo Daheng’s words.
“Pick up, pick up as many as you can.”
Zhuang Rui’s answer was unambiguous, who are you kidding? Although the speed of the chasing wind is not as fast as the fastest cheetah, but the difference is not a lot, he still does not believe it, there is really a horse in the world that runs faster than the chasing wind?
“Okay, I’ll bet on Uncle Shu Wen for 10 million Hong Kong dollars.”
“I’ll bet on Brother Zhuang for five million Hong Kong dollars.”
“I’ll bet on Dr. Shu for ten million. This horse race is not like playing with antiques, can it be the same?”
With a person to take the lead, the outside immediately stirred up, many people even directly open the mouth to bet up, hear Zhuang Rui cried and laughed, and quickly said: “Gentlemen, this …… let’s talk about it later, talk about it later.”
“A bunch of little brats, where is so much money ah! Go home and then teach you guys a lesson.”
Guo Daheng heard that the person who shouted also had his own grandson inside, he couldn’t help but laugh and scolded, in a family like theirs, all the sons and daughters will more or less have some shares in the family company, the annual dividends alone are enough to keep them clothed and fed, and a thousand or a million dollars, anyone can take it out.
“Little guy, you are robbing my business! This peripheral bet of yours, it’s going to be taken by me, and I’ll share half of your dividends at that time.” The King of Gamblers also joked with Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui is indifferent, he does not have time to pick up these bets, the King of Gamblers is willing to worry about this, of course he is in favor of it, and at that moment smiled and said, “Come on, old man, I was afraid that you would not pick it up, it just saves me from having to do it!”
“You kid, more slippery than a loach, the Qin family is blessed! How come my daughter didn’t find a husband like you!”
The King of Gamblers laughed and lamented, he was the oldest in the arena no matter his age or seniority, saying such words would not be offensive.
“Hehe, elders, this horse corridor place is too small, everyone should go back!”
Zhuang Rui smiled dryly a few times, and diverted the topic away, although the King of Gamblers daughter looks good, but is not an oil lamp, mixing in the film and television circle not to mention, but also rumors a lot of gossip, Zhuang Rui on such a woman but not much interest.
“Naaah, all the elders, you guys chat, I’ll go outside to greet the guests.”
After a group of people returned to the villa, Zhuang Rui immediately wanted to find an excuse to escape, and these people who have lived for nearly a century together, Zhuang Rui felt the pressure is really too much, these old guys are not a good fool, that each one of them have a long and delicate heart.
“What? Not willing to accompany us old men to talk?”
Gambling king’s sentence let Zhuang Rui crying face stay down, honestly stand on the side to listen to these old people talk about some business things, billions of big investment in their mouth, as if it is like a hundred or ten dollars of business generally do not care.
Even in the midst of small talk, Superman Lee and Tycoon Kwok finalized an investment, involving an amount of more than one billion, without the kind of silent smoke in the shopping mall, just a few words, the investment was set.
This also let Zhuang Rui has grown a lot of insight, he has never been exposed to such a circle, really did not think that business can be talked about this way, but he does not know, these are just intentions between the bosses, the specific things still need a lot of staff to follow up.
These old people are busy, after sitting for a while also said goodbye and left, with the passage of time, the guests outside have also left, the Qin family mansion, finally quiet down after a noisy night.
After the guests left, all the people in the Qin family were all excited, even Qin Haoran, such a stable person, the joy on his face was also overflowing, to know, since the Qin family established a foothold in Hong Kong, this is the most honorable day.
The old man’s birthday, not only Hong Kong and Macao, not only the rich and powerful gathered, even the special administrator of the two places also sent a special person to the scene to congratulate, there are many rich and powerful to the Qin family to express the will to start cooperation in many industries.
In this way, the original business is limited to the jewelry industry of the Qin family, can also start diversified development, perhaps in the near future, the Qin family’s wealth, can really be among the ranks of Hong Kong and Macao’s top tycoons.
“Xiao Rui ah! You are a good boy.”
The old master sat on the first seat, smilingly looking at Zhuang Rui, the more he looked at him, the more he liked him, he understood in his heart that the reason why the Qin family had such a status was basically all brought about by Zhuang Rui.
Zhuang Rui knew the meaning of the old man’s words, then smiled and shook his head, said: “Grandpa, you are tired today for a day, early rest! The day after tomorrow we’re going to Macau.”
Zhuang Rui is not the kind of “high and mighty” type of person, can bring some changes to his wife’s family, Zhuang Rui is also happy from the heart, who does not want their loved ones to live a little better ah?
“Not tired, not tired, grandpa is in a good mood today, you accompany me to talk!”
Elder Qin waved his hand repeatedly, being able to see the family prosper, this is the old man’s greatest wish, and now the Qin family is also a pivotal big family in Hong Kong, under the old man’s calm surface, in fact, he has long been in a stirring mood, where can he sleep?
“Right, Xiao Rui, your wind chasing horse, can it really run that fast?”
After a few sentences of idle chit-chat, Elder Qin brought the topic to the weekend’s horse racing competition.
The old man was also a member of the Horse Club and knew a lot about horse racing, although Zhuang Rui’s sweat blood horse looked divine, there were a lot of things to be said about short-range horse racing, it wasn’t as if a good horse was bound to win.
“Grandpa, don’t worry! Regardless of whether it’s a long distance or a short distance, it’s impossible for Wind Chaser to lose!”
Zhuang Rui laughed as he said, “You old man might as well put a heavy bet on it, and let Dr. Shu have a heartache as well.”
Master Qin smiled broadly at his words, “Or forget it, betting should not be overdone, and besides …… our family Xuan Bing but we hate betting on horses the most!”
Due to the importance of Zhuang Rui to the Qin family, along with Qin Xuanbing’s status in the family has become supreme, not only those uncles and aunts cousins around all day to please, even the Qin old man also have to worry about his granddaughter’s thoughts.
“Oh, will not, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is a pure welfare organization, take from the people with the people well, Xuan Bing’s idea to change.”
Zhuang Rui on gambling is not very cold, but on horse betting really do not resent, this thing and the domestic lottery is almost the same, are welfare nature, of course, the fairness and transparency of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, it is far from being controversial lotteries can be compared to the lottery, which is still a system of problems.
After chatting with the old man for a while, all the people in the Qin family dispersed and went back to their rooms to rest, but what happened today is destined to make many people have a hard time sleeping at night.
Qin old man’s birthday, but the Hong Kong upper class society is just some lace news, at the moment the attention of the Hong Kong public, are all organized by the weekend of Hong Kong and Macao horse racing conference to attract over.
Due to the high horse racing prize money, this Hong Kong and Macau horse racing conference, not only brings together the two places of the famous horse, even the world horse racing organization has been alarmed, but also a lot of private individuals, has long been their own horse airlifted to Macao, ready to participate in this race.
Although it is said that horse racing is a universal game, anyone can participate, but in fact, the resources of international horse racing, or in a few hands, or in other words, the world’s best racehorses, ownership belongs to those top tycoons.
Of course, there are also some people who are not very rich, will form some small clubs, specializing in training racehorses to participate in various races around the world, the funds earned, and then used for the operation of the club, this kind of people, but also the main participants in the world horse racing movement.
In the afternoon of Friday, Zhuang Rui and Qin Haoran and just after the birthday of the old man, together to Macau.
At this time, Macau has long been rich and wealthy gathered tourists like weaving, in the streets and lanes of Macau, everywhere you can see the publicity posters of the race, the whole of Macau is immersed in a horse racing feast.
