Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong glanced at each other, the latter signaled to the former and said, Bao Yugang smiled heartily: "You have carried us so many times, our hearts are also flesh and blood, how can we be indifferent, but I think about it and find that you are not lacking anything, a few months ago, I accidentally listened to the opera, and was inspired by the sentence 'BMW with heroes since ancient times', and thought that you should like BMW." ”

"No, Lao Huo and I will give you a horse, I wish you a horse in the lead, and the horse will be successful!"

"Now that you like these two horses, we are relieved, we haven't worked in vain, haha!"

Huo Yingdong nodded with a smile and said, "That's what Lao Bao and I mean." ”

Xia Yu shook his head with a little crying and laughing, but his heart was hot.

"Lao Bao, Lao Huo, I feel your intentions, I took so much trouble to find two horses to give to me, and they are so valuable, I deserve it!"

Huo Yingdong immediately retorted righteously: "Xia Yu, it should be us who deserve it, these two horses are not worth a few dollars, this is a trace of my heart and Lao Bao, if you don't accept it, this is to make us sleep unstable!"

Bao Yugang also said solemnly: "That's right, Xia Yu, compared to what you helped us, these two horses are not worth mentioning, if you can afford me and Lao Huo, then you don't shirk anymore, so as not to hurt the relationship between us." ”

Xia Yu glanced at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong deeply, shook his head with a smile and said with emotion: "Since you have all said this, it will be unkind if I make any more excuses." ”

"Then I'll take it, thank you for your kindness!"

As soon as these words came out, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong smiled one after another.

"Haha, no thanks, if you like it, it's the greatest honor for us. ”

"yes, I can go back to sleep more peacefully......"

"Hahaha......"

After laughing, Xia Yu continued to observe the two horses up close, and the more he looked at them, the more he liked them, and the expression on his face was not hidden at all.

Now that the two horses are his, his attitude towards appreciating horses has become different.

"By the way, Xia Yu, I have one more thing to tell you. ”

Bao Yugang said suddenly.

Xia Yu raised his eyebrows and asked with a little doubt, "What's the matter?"

"I understand that you have not joined the Jockey Club, so I have made a proposal and jointly recommended you with Lao Huo, and the Board of Directors of the Jockey Club has all agreed, and I will come to the selection of membership certificates later, and I will give it to you in the living room. ”

Bao Yugang said.

Xia Yu was surprised, touched his chin, and said with a smile: "I remember that if I want to join the Jockey Club, I don't have to apply first, and then find a recommender, I just skipped the process?"

He didn't write an application to join the Jockey Club, and now when he heard Bao Yugang, he even had a certificate down, and he was only a 200 selected members, which really surprised him.

Huo Yingdong on the side laughed and said as a matter of course: "Ordinary people naturally have this process, and they have to queue up for four or five years, but if you want to do this, the signboard of the Jockey Club will be smashed." ”

"It's an honor for you to join the Club, and when Lao Bao and I recommended it to you, the board of directors didn't know how happy it was. ”

Bao Yugang smiled and said: "That's right, ordinary people are proud to join the Jockey Club, and now your prestige is unmatched, and the Jockey Club is proud of your joining." ”

"You don't know, you haven't joined the Jockey Club, and there have been a few times when people asked, and the board of directors couldn't hold their faces, haha......"

Bao Yugang said, it seemed that the scene at that time appeared in front of him, and he couldn't help laughing.

Xia Yu smiled, although Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong had elements to praise him, but if you think about it carefully, it is really possible.

In terms of which company and consortium have the largest capital and the most extensive influence in Hong Kong, it is definitely HSBC.

However, excluding the Hong Kong government, if there is any institution or company that has the greatest influence on the whole of Hong Kong, everyone will say that it is the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Founded in 1884 by a group of British, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is the world's largest speed racing organiser and has been designated by the Hong Kong government as the operator of Hong Kong's gaming industry.

At the same time, it also assists the government in cracking down on illegal gambling, and is the largest non-profit organization in Hong Kong, as well as the largest charity in Hong Kong, which can donate more than one billion yuan every year for public welfare and charity in Hong Kong.

Today, the Hong Kong Jockey Club has more than 20,000 members, employs more than 40,000 employees, and has created a large number of related jobs in catering, entertainment and shopping, making great contributions to the employment of Hong Kong.

In 1971, the Hong Kong Horse Racing became the largest sport in Hong Kong, with a capacity of 80,000 spectators at the Sha Tin Racecourse in the New Territories.

And every racing day, more than a few million betting tickets are sold, with an amount of tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Ordinary people are involved in buying lottery tickets and watching races, while those rich businessmen and celebrities breed their own private horses and become horse owners in the Jockey Club to participate in Jockey Club races.

Xia Yu is now a member of the selection and also owns horses, so he can 100% let his beloved horses participate in the competition.

Speaking of which, we have to mention the types of Club members.

There are two kinds of members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, one is for the elite of the society, as long as you pay the money to register, then review the information, and wait in line, according to the current trend that everyone is proud to join the Jockey Club, it is normal to wait for three or four years.

This kind of membership is almost all the middle and upper class elites in society, and only one out of a few hundred.

The other is inclined to the nature of private clubs, only those who enter the top of the society are eligible to join, and the joining procedure is very strict, only members who can be selected for more than three years are eligible to be recommended, and then participate in the assessment to beat competitors to obtain places.

There are hundreds of such members in the entire Jockey Club, but there are only 200 of them as members, and the rest are ordinary members, but even if they are ordinary members, they are beyond the reach of the former kind of members.

However, for others, it is very difficult to join the second type of club and become a member.

But for Xia Yu, it is very easy, with his current strength and prestige, as long as he wants to enter the Jockey Club, there will definitely be a large number of selected members rushing to become his recommenders, and absolutely no one dares to stand up against his joining, unless the opponents think they can withstand Xia Yu's suppression and retaliation.

At this time, although Xia Yu's "Economic Weekly" did not rank him at the top of the rich list, the top bosses knew that the list was only the tip of Xia Yu's iceberg, and Xia Yu was definitely the top boss.

Many people secretly rated his Jiuding Consortium as the No. 1 Chinese Consortium, and this name that came out of nowhere went out of nowhere went wildly, and few people disagreed.

It's just that Xia Yu, a top boss, has been outside the Jockey Club, which is a slap in the face for the board of directors that has been committed to expanding the influence of the Jockey Club.

Many members are looking forward to Xia Yu's joining, so that they can use this platform to get in touch with Xia Yu.

It was in this situation that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong jointly recommended Xia Yu to become a member, and they still became a member in one step, which was a bit of a bad rule, which made everyone agree.

That's the reality.

When the status is not enough, he just squeezes into a circle, and he is proud to join this circle, but he can't squeeze in and don't say anything, and he will make jokes.

When the ground level is high enough, there is no need to squeeze your head in, and the senior circle will be proud of your participation and take the initiative to throw an olive branch.

Becoming a selected member of the Xiangjiang Jockey Club is also good for Xia Yu, plus he has two BMWs at this time, and if he doesn't take them on the field to run, let Mingzhu be dusty, and I'm sorry for Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong's heart.

Therefore, Xia Yu gladly accepted this fact.

"Lao Bao, Lao Huo, thank you!"

Xia Yu said gratefully.

"By the way, Xia Yu, five days later is the big race day, when the Jockey Club will hold a welcome ceremony to welcome you to join, or will you also go to the race?"

Bao Yugang proposed, a hint of anticipation flashing in his eyes.

Xia Yu thought about it, it seems to be a good choice, two BMWs in hand, of course, let everyone see and know, he also has a trace of expectation for the performance of the two love horses.

"It's a good idea to sign up for two horses together, but before that I have to find two good trainers. ”

Xia Yu thought about it and said.

Huo Yingdong smiled and said: "You don't have to worry about this, we have already found five very good horse trainers for you, you can pick two tomorrow, four or five days is enough time to run-in." ”

"Your service is so attentive, it seems that you already knew that I would agree. ”

Xia Yu said.

"Hahaha......"

"Thank you very much, tomorrow I will pick two trainers and take the horses to Sha Tin Racecourse at the same time to familiarize myself with the grounds. ”

"By the way, Lao Bao Lao Huo, do you participate?"

Xia Yu asked the two.

"Of course, it's the first big race day in the second half of the year, so it would be a shame not to participate. ”

"Yes, as far as I know, at least forty Chinese people of the same level as us will participate, so how can we not participate?"

Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong said successively.

"Then we're competitors, so it's interesting if I don't win you with the horse you gave me. ”

"Haha, come on, I won't lose if I win or lose anyway. ”

"You're a ......"

......

After the joke, Li Qian whispered to Xia Yu: "Ayu, since you are going to participate in the competition, then these two horses have to be named." ”

"That's right, you quickly take a name, you are a great writer, more cultured than us, take a high-level name. ”

Bao Yugang urged with a smile.

Looking at everyone's expectant eyes, Xia Yu quietly looked at the two BMWs, and the corners of his mouth hooked up a touch of arc.

"Since both horses are at the level of the king of horses, they are definitely no worse than the ancient famous horses, and a modern name is not worthy of them. ”

"A jujube red sweaty horse, and a black horse king. ”

"The red ones are called red rabbits, and the black ones are called black horses, and I hope they are worthy of these two names. ”

"Red Rabbit?"

Although Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong both said that they were uneducated, they knew about these two famous BMWs.

"Red Rabbit" is the first horse in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms", known as "Red Rabbit in Horses", and has experienced the two masters of "Lu Bu in the People" and "Martial Saint Guan Yu", which has added a legendary halo to it.

Not to mention the "black horse", the mount of the overlord of Western Chu is the black horse, who followed Xiang Yu to fight in the south and the north, and finally jumped into the river with the master and died.

At this time, Xia Yu named the two horses, which shows the importance he attaches to these two horses.

After all, if you perform poorly during the competition and take this kind of name, it will definitely make a big joke, Xia Yu will be embarrassed, and the two of them will be embarrassed.

However, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are very confident that the horses they sent will not make Xia Yu embarrassed, after all, these two horses were bought by them with great effort, and their real value alone is enough to rank in the top three of the Xiangjiang Jockey Club.

This is still not comparable to the value of winning the championship, if you win the championship, the value will skyrocket several times, and you will be the first and second properly.

"Then look forward to five days later, Chitu and Wuhu will be famous in Xiangjiang!"

"I'm looking forward to it too!"
