Chapter 864: Dark Horse
One mountain does not tolerate two tigers, unless there is one male and one female.
It is a proverb that says that there can only be one ruler in a place, or that the strong repel each other, but in reality the battle between women is even more terrible than that of men.
Li Weiwei and Guo Meiqi are both from the top big families in Xiangjiang, and their looks are also excellent.
On the surface, Li Weiwei and Guo Meiqi are dismissive of this title, but only they know that the two have been fighting secretly all these years.
Li Weiwei was admitted to Stanford University, Guo Meiqi entered the Imperial College of London, Li Weiwei created her own clothing brand after graduation, and Guo Meiqi also founded her own design company after graduation, which is well-known in Xiangjiang.
For so many years, they have not been able to distinguish between the superior, and the battle between Li Weiwei and Guo Meiqi has not been put down, but it is all placed in the dark, but now Li Weiwei's move this time is undoubtedly putting this secret fight on the table.
However, no one thinks that Li Weiwei is doing something wrong, compared to the Zhang family's horse, the Li family's possibility of chasing the wind to win the championship is several times greater, and Li Weiwei is the Li family, so she naturally wants to support her own horses.
It's the best choice!
In the end, the Jockey Club reached a total of 1 billion, and after Li Weiwei and Guo Meiqi each bet 100 million, others were also stimulated and added about 50 million, just making up a bet of 1 billion.
One billion is already a big gamble, especially for the Zheng family, if the Li family chases the wind and the dark horse of the Zhang family, no matter which one wins, they will face billions in compensation.
The race is about to start, and the horse racers are having the final run-in and test drive with the horses, and these horse racers are from major families, so there is no possibility of being bought by the Zheng family.
After all, there are countless high-definition cameras on the entire track, if there is any small action, not only the joint referee team composed of each family will find it in the video, even if it is not found on the spot, these referees will definitely watch the replay, once the clue is found, the end of the horse division will be miserable.
Almost all of these horse masters have signed long-term contracts with major families, not to mention the sky-high liquidated damages, just if this happens, whether they can survive or not is a thing, the society is not as bright as imagined, these top families want to make a person disappear, there are ways.
In the stands, everyone also dispersed, but the strange thing was that Guo Meiqi was still in the stands of the Li family, holding a glass of red wine at the moment, looking at the horses on the stage below with a comfortable face.
"Brother Fang, you are really ......"
Li Chengshun was a little speechless, 500 million, if he loses here, the elders of the family will definitely blame themselves, after all, he brought Brother Fang here.
Now he can only count on chasing the wind to win, in this case, his sister will win a billion gambling funds, and he can take out 500 million to return to Brother Fang.
"Li Chengshun, don't worry, since Mr. Fang has taken a fancy to the Zhang family's horse, then the Zhang family's horse is a real dark horse, and he will definitely win the championship. ”
Guo Meiqi held the red wine glass, raised it in the direction where Fang Ming was, and said, "Mr. Fang, I don't know if I can toast you." ”
"Sister Meiqi, do you know Brother Fang?"
Li Chengshun was a little curious, although he knew that his sister and Sister Meiqi were fighting with each other, but the relationship between the Li family and the Guo family was good, and the elders of the two families often moved around.
Li Weiwei also looked at Fang Ming and Guo Meiqi sideways at this time, Guo Meiqi knew Fang Ming, she was not surprised, if she didn't know, how could she follow Fang Ming's next 100 million heavy bets, but what she couldn't understand was why Guo Meiqi had so much confidence in Fang Ming's judgment?
"I haven't met Mr. Fang, but I've heard of Mr. Fang's name. ”
Fang Ming glanced at Guo Meiqi, of course he knew where Guo Meiqi heard his name, he should have learned it from Old Man Guo.
When he fled to Xiangjiang, in order to go abroad to save the life of the third generation of the Guo family's grandson, he became Alice's first embrace, this matter can be hidden from outsiders, but it will definitely not be hidden from relatives, and it is difficult to hide it.
Since he doesn't hide the secret of his grandson, he will naturally tell what happened, and I think Guo Meiqi heard her name at that time.
Fang Ming was right, Guo Meiqi did know Fang Ming's name from her grandfather, not only her, but all the relatives of the Guo family knew Fang Ming, and they had also seen Fang Ming's appearance from the surveillance video of the Guo family's home, which was recognized by Guo Meiqi at a glance.
For Guo Meiqi, Fang Ming was said by her grandfather and uncle to be divine, she was simply a master of the world, which made her full of curiosity, and she also knew the physical condition of her nephew, it was certain that her grandfather was not exaggerating.
Since grandpa they are not exaggerating, then such a master will take a fancy to the dark horse of the Zhang family, and dare to bet 500 million, then there must be a certainty of victory, in this case, she followed the bet, which is equivalent to making money.
Of course, if the dark horse of the Zhang family didn't win the first place in the end, she didn't care if she lost 100 million, because she believed that her grandfather would not blame herself, and her grandfather said several times that if she could make a good relationship with a master like Mr. Fang, she would be willing to spend as much money as she could.
If you lose, you will be treated as if the 100 million is for Mr. Fang.
"Somebody can really talk, but everything has to be told by facts. ”
Li Weiwei opened her mouth coldly, but she didn't mock too much, after all, Fang Ming was a guest of their Li family, and Guo Meiqi was an outsider in comparison, but Li Weiwei was still a little annoyed in her heart.
Fang Ming didn't choose their Li family's chasing wind, but chose the dark horse of the Zhang family, coupled with Guo Meiqi's woman's sideways, it was more like Fang Ming was a member of the Guo family, and he came to fight against their Li family.
In the stands opposite the arena, Zheng Shuming was also whispering to an old man beside him at this moment.
"Sir, the young man surnamed Fang actually saw the dark horse of the Zhang family, why did you still let me accept this bet?"
Zheng Shuming looked at the old man, with a look of doubt on his face, if he hadn't been determined enough and didn't reveal his inner thoughts before, when he heard the young man talk about betting on the dark horse of the Zhang family, he would have revealed his flaws.
That's right!
Zheng Shuming also knew in his heart that the dark horse of the Zhang family was a real dark horse, and he used the strength to win the first place, compared to his family's red horse, it was simply a trick.
There are twelve horses participating in the whole arena, and he will get the odds to ten times, and according to the performance of the Zhang family's horses in the past, no one will choose to press the Zhang family's horse, it is estimated that except for the Zhang family's own people will symbolically press a little.
In fact, it was indeed as he expected, so many families present, in addition to betting on their own family horses, those families that did not have horses to participate in the competition were all betting heavily on the Li family's horse chasing the wind.
Of course, there are also many people who bet on their own red horses, obviously thinking that they will open ten times the odds, they must be very confident, and according to the plan, in the end, the red horses of the Zhang family won, and their Zheng family will win this bet.
There is no conspiracy, the red horse of the Zhang family relies on real strength to win, even if the major families are unhappy, but they can only sigh that their Zheng family has a good eye, and their skills in Xiangma far exceed those of other families.
"With me, if you want any horse to win, you can let that horse win. ”
The old man's tone was flat, but the determination and domineering in his voice made Zheng Shuming's heart tremble, and he remembered that this person in front of him was not an ordinary person, since this person had said so, then what else did he have to worry about.
"Sir, please rest assured, the Zheng family will definitely do what Mr. promised, and my father is already preparing for this. ”
"Get it done as soon as possible, I don't have that much time to stay in Xiangjiang. ”
"Yes. ”
Zheng Shuming bowed his head, at this moment, he did not have the majesty of the heir of the top family in Xiangjiang at all, and was more like a servant who obeyed people's orders.
……
The race finally began at the referee's whistle, and the twelve horses and twelve equestrians were shot like arrows.
The Li family's chasing wind is indeed a good horse, and he rushed to the first place at the beginning of the race, and even after half a lap, he was already one position ahead of the other horses.
In second place is the red horse of the Zheng family, and the dark horse of the Zhang family is ranked seventh, but in fact, there is no difference between the seventh and twelfth places, because the gap between these five horses is very small and negligible.
The race is five laps around the field, a total of two thousand meters, two laps down, the Li family's chasing wind and the Zheng family's red horse have already determined the leading position, which makes Li Chengshun in the stands excited, standing not only shouting and cheering.
As for Li Weiwei on the side, although she was not so excited, the corners of her mouth also had an upturned arc, revealing the joy in her heart.
Because Fang Ming placed a heavy bet on the black horse of the Zhang family, the dark horse of the Zhang family was also extra concerned, and when they saw the dark horse of the Zhang family running to the third place after the third lap, many people showed surprise on their faces.
The third place is already the best result for the Zhang family, so it seems that Mr. Fang from the mainland does have some skills in Xiangma, but it is still a little worse, and it is estimated that this time it will be a pity.
Everyone present thought so, including Li Weiwei, but when the fifth lap began, the scene in the arena caused everyone to exclaim.
A black whirlwind appeared.
PS: On the first day of the Lunar New Year, I wish you all the early years!
