Chapter 1218 – Gambling on Horses (III)

The reception of Zhuang Rui and the others in Macau was done by Mrs. Four’s men, they had just gotten off the cruise ship and were received in a car in front of a building complex that covered quite a wide area.

Since the new company was about to open, the fourth wife had a lot of things to be busy with, but this person who received Zhuang Rui was also a vice president of the company, the specifications were considered not low.

“Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Qin, here are all the company’s properties, a few of you please take a look, if there’s anything you’re not satisfied with please tell us to correct it, by the way, there are two special cars down there, if you all want to go somewhere, just give the driver a word.”

Chen Xiaojun sneakily sized up the young man in front of him as he spoke, he used to work in foreign countries as well as major casinos in Macau, and is considered to be a veteran in the gambling world, and was poached by the Fourth Prince at a high salary to his own company in last year’s time.

For Zhuang Rui, who had risen to fame in the gambling industry in the past few years, Chen Xiaojun of course had a bit of curiosity, he also knew that Zhuang Rui was one of the company’s bosses, so his attitude was very respectful.

“Mr. Chen, don’t bother, it’s quite nice here, I didn’t expect the fourth wife to be so generous.”

Zhuang Rui just now, when he was coming in, he liked this place, this piece of building was not in the center of the city, but built by the sea, surrounded by all kinds of tropical plants, the surrounding environment was very beautiful.

The whole building is divided into three areas, the front is two hotel-style floor building, in its one, two or three floors, are casinos, above is a nightclub and sauna entertainment area, and then up is some luxury rooms.

It can be said that by staying in this, you can basically enjoy all the services you can imagine.

Some friends may say, you build the casino in a bird does not lay eggs on the beach, which guests will be idle egg pain in the vicinity of the distance to run you here to gamble it?

In fact, nowadays casinos, geographical location can not be an advantage, because casinos in the port terminal or even the airport, there are luxury buses with guests, and all are free to use, can bring guests directly into the casino.

Even on some of the smaller islands around Macau, there are casinos that exist, and there are helicopters that transport guests to and from the casinos every day. In this part of Macau, it is a place where even God can’t stop a game like gambling.

At the back of the hotel casino, in the middle of the complex, there is a club, which is managed by a membership system, and specializes in organizing all kinds of gambling games for some of the world’s most powerful people. For the sake of these people’s safety, this area was heavily guarded, and there was also a heliport that allowed the guests to directly access the area.

As for the third division, it was already close to the sea, a seaside cliff that was more than thirty meters high, and on the cliff there were three extremely exquisite villas built. Although each villa is not very large, but and the surrounding environment into one, can see that the builders in the villa shape, spent a lot of effort.

Entering the villa Zhuang Rui realized that these villas are actually all built with good wood, and did not use any modern pigment painting, the whole room exudes a unique smell of grass and trees.

Standing on the second floor of the villa, you can clearly hear the sound of the waves, and the waves lapping on the cliffs stirring up layers of water, blowing the sea breeze, the whole person from the inside to the outside feel a burst of freshness.

“It’s really nice, if one can live here for a long time, one’s mind will become pure.”

Zhuang Rui looked at the seascape, his mind remembered his own island, I wonder which one would be more beautiful compared to the scenery there?

General Manager Chen, who led Zhuang Rui into the villa, smiled when he heard his words and said, “Mr. Zhuang, the fourth wife once said that one of the three villas here is yours.”

“Me? Oh, it’s better to forget about it! I’m used to the changing seasons in the Mainland, if I come to Guangdong for a long stay, I definitely won’t be able to adapt.”

Zhuang Rui smiled at his words, then said, “Besides, after a while I won’t have much to do with the company, it’s not appropriate for me to take this house, forget it, I’ll talk to the fourth wife later!”

That Mr. Chen is very calm, although he was surprised to hear Zhuang Rui’s words, he didn’t say anything, and brought Zhuang Rui to introduce him again.

After settling his family, Zhuang Rui greeted Mr. Chen and sat in the living room, he also wanted to ask about some specifics of the horse betting as well as the arrangements for these days.

“These three villas, and those casino clubs in front of them, the total investment is quite a lot of money, right?”

Although Zhuang Rui was one of the company’s major shareholders, he had never exercised his rights as a shareholder, and had never even taken a serious look at the company’s statements, so his knowledge of the company was definitely not as good as this Mr. Chen in front of him.

“Mr. Zhuang, these three villas, built with the best Canadian logs, each one cost about a million dollars, as for the hotel and casino in front, the total investment is probably around several billion dollars!”

Chen Xiaojun is only the casino’s management, for here to build the cost is not very clear, of course, only these are enough to let Zhuang Rui staggered, this penny has not yet earned, but even threw billions of dollars into it?

I’m afraid that in the world, in addition to arms dealers, but also on the betting industry has this kind of vigor, because as long as there are people where there will be gambling, as long as the operation is proper, billions of dollars of investment but just a few years to earn back, we must know that each year the betting industry can produce profits, up to hundreds of billions of U.S. dollars.

However, Zhuang Rui did not regret his choice at all, he did not want to dip his hands in this industry, even if there were even greater benefits, Zhuang Rui would not hesitate in the slightest.

“Mr. Chen, what are the arrangements for the horse race the day after tomorrow? How many fields will my horse run in? What is the organizer’s opinion on my request?”

Different from naked gambling, the day before yesterday when he went to Hong Kong’s Happy Valley to watch horse racing, that kind of speed competition fascinated Zhuang Rui, so he was also looking forward to the weekend’s race.

And Zhuang Rui had also made a request, that is, he wanted to let Chasing Wind to race twice in the weekend race, this has never been a precedent in the horse racing world, and Zhuang Rui was not sure if those bigwigs in the board of directors of the Jockey Club would agree to it?

“Mr. Zhuang, I was just about to talk to you about this, Mrs. Four asked me to tell you that your request was granted.” Mr. Chen replied.

Zhuang Rui was delighted at his words and opened his mouth to ask, “Oh? Then how was the match arranged?”

“Mr. Zhuang, in order for your racehorse to get sufficient rest, the organizing committee has also made some changes to the race schedule, and your racehorse will race in the second and last race, so as to ensure that it can get more rest time.”

“Hmm? Then why not the first race?” Zhuang Rui had some questions, a race basically takes nearly 30 minutes between races, advancing one race would be equal to an extra thirty minutes of time ah!

Chen Xiaojun smiled at his words and came, “Mr. Zhuang, it’s like this, the first race is a mat race, the horses that appear are not very famous, so ……”

After listening to Chen Xiaojun’s explanation, Zhuang Rui realized, dare to say that this horse racing and some other human athletic projects are also some common.

Just like the World Boxing Championships, usually before the two champions have a match, there will be one or two matches, inviting some not very famous players to give a show first.

Zhuang Rui nodded and said, “Okay, I’ll bring Chasing Wind over tomorrow to adapt to the venue first, you give the arrangement then!”

After Chen Xiaojun agreed, he said goodbye, the company’s opening was imminent, he was also too busy, if not for turning off his cell phone when receiving Zhuang Rui just now, I’m afraid he didn’t even have the time to talk to Zhuang Rui before.

Macau’s two most developed industries, naturally, is gambling and pornography, Zhuang Rui has no interest in this, the next morning returned to the cruise ship, ready to take the chasing wind to the venue used in the game to adapt to.

In fact, more importantly, Zhuang Rui has a few days without the opportunity to ride the chasing wind to enjoy the feeling of the wind, and now have the conditions, of course, to go for a run.

In that Mr. Chen’s leadership, Zhuang Rui and his party drove to the Macau racecourse, before getting off the car, Zhuang Rui saw in the square outside the racecourse gate, there is a four-faced Buddha.

“This Guangdong people are really superstitious.”

Due to his profession, Zhuang Rui is also considered to be more proficient in the two religions of Buddhism and Taoism, and he knows that in Southeast Asia, especially in Thailand, the Four-Faced Buddha is considered to be a god of infinite magical power and mastery of the earth’s glory, wealth and prosperity, and can be seen within many occasions.

“Hehe, this was specially invited from Thailand by the Macau side, and it was said to have cost a lot of money.” Chen Xiaojun smiled and explained to Zhuang Rui, driving the car into the racecourse.

The predecessor of the Macau Racecourse, originally a horse racing car track, in 1987 when it was changed into a flat horse racing, although and Hong Kong’s racecourse compared to more than not as good, but the track and the facilities, have reached the international standard.

Entered the racecourse and waited for a while, used to carry ride chasing the wind of the special car also drove in, the chasing the wind off the car, Zhuang Rui and his entourage came to the racecourse on the track.

A standard international racecourse, not only have a few tracks on the end of the matter, but also have a perfect training ground, at this time there are a lot of horses are here to receive training, in preparation for tomorrow’s race.

Zhuang Rui and his party just entered the field, attracted a lot of eyeballs, there is no way, chasing the wind’s appearance is really too windy, just in the height of one item, it is higher than those tall Thoroughbred horse nearly twenty to thirty centimeters.

“Xiao Zhuang, you’re here too! Tsk, this is really a good horse, it’s a pity that the training was late.”

What Zhuang Rui didn’t expect was that Dr. Shu Wen was also in the stables at this moment, and the image of his usual suit was very different, the flowery white Shu Wen wore a knight’s outfit, looking like an old cowboy from the American West.
