Chapter 1229 – Heavenly Price (III)
Zhuang Rui this words, all four seats are shocked, to know, chasing the wind just only ran a race, Prince William gave its price of 100 million pounds, which is definitely called the price of heaven.
“Mr. Zhuang, Manchester United Sir Alex Ferguson’s horse, but only about thirty million U.S. dollars, you can reconsider, if you are not satisfied with this price, you can also open a price.”
Seeing Zhuang Rui’s flat refusal, Prince William’s face was a bit not so good, he was born in one of the most noble royal family of this planet, from birth he was highly regarded by the world, and had never been rejected by someone so directly.
Although he has received a good education, but Prince William is not very old, like Bill Gates, these old foxes can not hide the bottom of their hearts, is to speak again “remind” Zhuang Rui a sentence.
To know, in active service in the racehorse, the most expensive is only seven or eight thousand dollars, 100 million pounds of the price is higher than the horse more than double, is not Zhuang Rui is not satisfied?
As for the words “partner” and “not for sale” that Zhuang Rui said in his mouth, in the view of the top people in the world, they are just pretexts.
In the consciousness of these people, as long as the objects exist on this planet, they can all be bought and sold, even including “human” creatures, but only the price is high or low.
Even for a person like Bill Gates, he didn’t offer a price out of respect for Zhuang Rui, but he had put a price tag on Chasing Wind in his heart, so he must have thought that this horse could be bought and sold.
“Your Highness William, this …… really doesn’t need to be talked about, one hundred million and one hundred dollars, there isn’t much difference to me.”
Zhuang Rui’s words exited, immediately making the people in the box froze, they would only then realize that dare Zhuang Rui wasn’t a bumpkin who hadn’t seen any money.
In fact, right after Prince William said those words, Zhuang Rui’s heart was also a little upset, “Prince and how? You just out of a billion pounds buddy also not sell, out of 10 billion pounds? Well! It’s not that buddy looks down on you, I guess you don’t have that much money.”
Wealth accumulated to a certain extent, in fact, is just a numbers game, just like Bill Gates, he has 100 billion dollars and 1 billion dollars and what difference? Both were enough for him to spend for the rest of his life.
“Uh, Mr. Zhuang, I don’t mean that, I really like this horse.”
William was also reddened by Zhuang Rui’s words, with the education he received, it was indeed a little bit wrong to say that just now, the impression given by the British royal family has always been very gentlemanly, but the way he acted just now was a little bit less gentlemanly.
“Your Highness William, I can understand your mood, but the chasing wind is really not for sale, it is my partner, a partner like a friend, may I ask are you willing to sell your friend?”
Zhuang Rui didn’t wait for William to finish, he interrupted him, in his opinion, if he didn’t put words in his mouth, I’m afraid that the other two, might have to make a bid as well, Zhuang Rui doesn’t have time to dilly-dally with them.
“Alright! Zhuang, I apologize for my presumption, and I’m looking forward to your horse winning the next race.”
Zhuang Rui’s words earned William’s respect, and for the first time, he also used honorifics when speaking to Zhuang Rui.
The other Brunei Bhutanese and Arabian Crown Prince in the box who were interested in courting Chasing Wind also kept their mouths tightly shut when they saw this scene, because the strength that Chasing Wind had shown so far was at most a price of 100 million dollars.
To their status position, and Bill Gates, is not because of more money and bid recklessly, then again, if by Zhuang Rui refused, that is also a very shameful thing. And they also stored another kind of mind, they wanted to see how Chasing the Wind would perform in the next game, if they could still show strength beyond the group of horses, it wouldn’t be too late for them to bid again.
“Thank you, Your Highness William.”
Having solved this big trouble, Zhuang Rui was also relieved, but when he heard William’s last sentence, he was nervous again, he had let Timur and Chasing Wind spread their wings in the last race!
With Chasing Wind’s speed, breaking the world record to win the first place, that is nine fingers pinching the snail – nine out of ten things, just so, I’m afraid that these people will come to harass themselves again, right?
“Should I let Wind Chaser run slower?”
Zhuang Rui had this thought in his mind, “Screw it, what’s wrong with running first? What’s wrong with breaking the world record? Why don’t we just bite the bullet and not sell? The big deal is to return to Xuan Rui’s ship as soon as the race is over.”
Facing such a group of super rich people who don’t know how much money they have, Zhuang Rui is also a little bottomless, although he is sure that he won’t sell the chasing wind, but the taste of resisting temptation is not very good.
Bill Gates saw things come to an end, spoke out and said: “Well, if you have nothing to do, you can stay here to watch the game, there are more people also lively a little bit!”
The world’s richest man’s invitation or to give face, not to mention get together to watch the game, the atmosphere to be a little bit better, all the people are nodded and agreed to find a comfortable position to look at the racecourse.
At this time has been carried out to the fourth race, is also the last race in the morning, in addition to Zhuang Rui’s chasing the wind out of nowhere burst a big cold, the rest of the several races are carried out in waves.
“What, to change the odds, what I bought in the morning was still one to twenty, how come it’s now one to three?”
“Yeah! Do the odds I bought in the morning still count? You can’t change the odds like that!”
“One to three is one to three, I’ll bet 100 HK dollars on Wind Chaser to win, hurry up and place your order!”
“I’ll bet 1,000 on Chasing the Wind, I haven’t seen such a thrilling game in years!”
When Zhuang Rui and others gathered in the box to watch the race, all the betting areas of the racecourse were surrounded by horse fans, the reason is that the odds of one to twenty for Chasing the Wind to win the race have now changed to one to three, according to the twelve-horse race, this odds is already the favorite to win the race.
The HKJC’s odds alteration made the horse fans greatly dissatisfied, especially after learning that someone had pressed 50 million Hong Kong dollars to buy Chasing the Wind to win the bet in the morning, those horse fans who like to bet on the cold were all agitated, only to rush to the betting point, only to find that the odds had already changed.
“Calm down everyone, you are all old horse fans, you should know that the HKJC can adjust the horse racing odds at any time, we have not violated the rules, of course, the betting slips from the morning are still valid.”
The staff of the various betting centers were explaining to the horse fans, it was the first time they had encountered such a big commotion caused by changing the odds, but it was also the first time they had seen a racehorse that was still able to win the first place after a late dash for the fences.
Not to mention these staff members, the bosses of the three major bookmakers in Macau are also bleeding in their hearts at the moment. They have just counted out the second betting situation, horse race betting and peripheral color two together, the three companies even have to pay out 12 billion, and they received a total of less than three billion bets, this time the opening of the betting is a loss of blood money.
This is also the history of Macau’s largest peripheral betting payout, when the three company’s senior to see that horse will also run another game, immediately used their own relations, will be the horse club’s odds down.
This is also something that can not be helped, because the odds of the peripheral color betting, is certain to be higher than the race meeting odds, otherwise other people directly buy the horse well, who will still go to bet on the peripheral color ah?
The reason why the fourth wife can still sit in the box and Zhuang Rui and other people talk and laugh, that is because she listened to the words of the King of Gamblers, and did not participate in a few other companies to sit in the peripheral lottery, although the racecourse also have to lose 1.8 or 1.8 billion, but these are still in the scope of the fourth wife can afford.
The fourth race of the morning soon came down in the cheers of the number six horse winning the race, and there was an hour’s lunch break at noon, and the horse racing would continue from 1:00 pm.
Zhuang Rui’s lunch was with Bill Gates and the others, but after eating, Zhuang Rui immediately ducked back into the Qin family’s box.
When he was alone with Bill Gates, Zhuang Rui was still relatively relaxed, but when William and the others were involved, Zhuang Rui felt the pressure multiply, especially when facing Jordan and that star governor, the mere fact that he needed to tilt his neck to look at people made Zhuang Rui very uncomfortable.
The whole afternoon of the race, Zhuang Rui are watching the more relaxed, but also really feel the charm of horse racing, that kind of feeling in the track at breakneck speed, let Zhuang Rui back to the prairie chasing wild horse herd when the scene.
Today’s twelfth race, but also the last and most important race, the time is scheduled for seven o’clock in the evening, which should be the time for dinner, but in the Macau Racecourse, this is the moment of great anticipation.
Zhuang Rui in six o’clock, came to the stables, although no pressure, but Zhuang Rui still want to let the chasing the wind run first place, said also can not let down Guo Daheng and other people’s trust well!
“Young man, I admit …… that I was looking away, your horse in addition to endurance lacks a little bit, explosive force than many European thoroughbred horse is also strong.”
It’s really a coincidence, chasing the wind this time is located in the stables, tight and Dr. Shu Wen next to each other, as the owner of the horse, Dr. Shu Wen at this time is also taking the jockey as well as the trainer to stay in the stables here.
“Hehe, whether the endurance is good or bad, we’ll know after this race, Dr. Shu, I used to, and still do, think that Chasing Wind will win any race.”
Zhuang Rui smiled noncommittally, he believed that after this last one-mile pole race today, Chasing Wind’s reputation would resound through the world of horse racing.
