Chapter 41 Selection of Members for Admission to The Hong Kong Jockey Club
"Unfortunately, Sir Youde did not listen to our advice. Uncle Chen predicted that Sir Youde would have a catastrophe in '86!"
Looking at the Gangdu Mansion next to him, Li Chaoren said helplessly.
Sir Youde, the current Governor of Hong Kong, came from a Christian family and has always scoffed at the Oriental theory of Feng Shui. After the completion of the HSBC building, the blade was pointed at the Governor's Palace. Many Hong Kong celebrities and feng shui masters have warned Sir Youde about Jian Yì. Sir Youde did not accept it, and in 1986 Sir Youde died of a heart attack. Sir Youde also became the first Governor of Hong Kong to die of illness in office.
Sir Youde's successor did not heed the feng shui master's advice and continued to live in the port capital. A year later, he left office because of cancer.
Became the first Governor of Hong Kong to be outdone.
"One qiē is a fate!"
Although Wang Zhong felt sorry for Sir Youde, he did not think that he could convince Sir Youde.
"The Governor's Mansion is the head of Hong Kong, and if the Feng Shui of the Governor's Mansion is broken, the whole of Hong Kong will also be affected!"
Li Chaoren said with some concern.
"The Chinese government has been open to the four fronts in the past dynasties, that is, due east, south, north, and west, and the four are representing majesty and power, so the government of all dynasties is very strong, but the Hong Kong Governor's Office is a four-dimensional door, so the majesty of the Hong Kong capital is insufficient, and it is often criticized by the people. However, on the other hand, democracy is doing better, and the people are living more freely!"
Wang Zhong once went to the Hong Kong capital to make a personal appearance, so he can talk about it.
"Yes, the Hong Kong capital is more humane and democratic!"
Li Chaoren nodded approvingly.
"Don't talk about him, Housheng, I'm looking forward to your design now!"
Li Chaoren retracted his gaze from afar and said with a smile.
"Look, this is my design based on the terrain of the Australian ranch, and I named it Arrow Across the Sky!"
Wang Zhong smiled slightly, and spread out the design on Li Chaoren's large desk.
Li Chaoren's gaze was firmly absorbed.
Wang Zhong also made a certain explanation in a timely manner:
"There are two maps here, the first is a map of the terrain, and the hill above the drawing is the Dapeng spreading its wings. The longbow below has been highlighted by me, and the villa will be built on top of the famous cave of the eagle owl with a curved bow!"
"It's really vivid, it's really a miracle of nature!"
Looking at the schematic diagram and the photos of the scene, even Li Chaoren, who is used to seeing the world, couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
"Housheng, you really found a good hole for the old man!"
"The earth has its own ghosts and gods, and the blessed land has its own blessed people. This is the blessing of Li Gong, and he doesn't dare to take credit in his later life!"
Wang Zhong said with a smile.
"Ju Gong is not arrogant, much better than when I was young!"
Li Chaoren said with a smile.
Wang Zhong smiled, but he didn't dare to take it seriously in his heart. Li Chaoren's first job in Hong Kong was as a tea man, and the first thing he learned was to observe words and feelings.
"Very good, the points are accurate, and the villa design is also very beautiful. I loved it!"
Li Chaoren wore glasses and looked very carefully, after reading it, he thought for a while, and felt that there was nothing missing, Li Chaoren nodded and said.
"Li Gong, the drawings have indicated the precautions for construction, just find the local people in Australia for construction!"
Wang Zhong also breathed a sigh of relief in his heart, and a strong sense of recognition rose from the bottom of his heart.
"Your plan is very detailed and well thought out, I like it! You will have a future!"
Li Chaoren said approvingly.
The business has been discussed, and I see that Li Chaoren has the intention of sending off guests. Wang Zhong did not get up to say goodbye, but took out a blue Wen Jiàn folder from the toolkit.
"What is this?"
Li Chaoren glanced at Wang Zhong in some surprise, but out of trust in him, he still opened it and flipped through it.
"The Hong Kong Jockey Club's application for membership?"
Li Chaoren looked at Wang Zhong with some displeasure, hoping that he would give a reasonable explanation.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club is a private clubhouse established in 1884 and has grown to become one of the largest and most prestigious clubhouses in Asia. With more than 100 years of history and tradition, the Club has won the respect of all sectors of Hong Kong, and in 2003 it was named the overall champion of Hong Kong's "Super Brand". The Hong Kong Jockey Club is also one of the world's largest speed racing operators. The Hong Kong Jockey Club also specialises in lotteries, with thousands of horse fans placing bets every year.
There are nine international open competitions held every year, in addition to the four international Group 1 competitions that stage the world-famous World Grass King Championship in December, namely the Longines Hong Kong Cup (2000m Group 1, prize money ¥22,000,000) and the Longines Hong Kong Mile Stakes (1600m International Group 1, prize money ¥20,000,000)
Every year from April to early May, the Hong Kong Jockey Club also hosts two major Group 1 international races for the world's best horses!
……
The Club is governed by a Board of Directors headed by the Chairman and comprised of 12 reputable directors in Hong Kong, all of whom serve on a pro bono basis without remuneration, and are managed by a Management Committee under the leadership of the Chief Executive Officer.
The Club is one of the most prestigious clubhouses in Hong Kong. The Club's membership is highly respected and members must be recommended by a Selective Member to apply for membership, with a total of 200 Selective Members and a limited number of members recommended each year
As the chairman of Cheung Kong Group, the new richest man in Hong Kong, Li Chaoren is not only a member of the Club's selection, but also the current chairman of the Club's board of directors!
"Housheng, I need you to give me an explanation!"
The number of places recommended by the selection members each year is limited, and Wang Zhong is so reckless, Li Chaoren is very unhappy.
"Li Gong, I bought a ranch in Australia, the ranch is rich in purebred Rose horses, I hope to provide the Hong Kong Jockey Club with purebred Rose horses, there are detailed information about the horses in the text, I will delay you for ten minutes at most!"
Wang Zhong knew that he would leave a bad impression on Li Chaoren, but the opportunity was rare, so he had to be reckless.
Li Chaoren looked at Wang Zhong quietly, and suddenly, he found a trace of his own shadow in Wang Zhong. When I was young, I didn't sell like this.
It is this kind of recklessness and hard-headedness that has created today's richest man in Hong Kong, Li Chaoren!
Li Chaoren picked up the paper jiàn clip that he had put down again, and quietly looked at the various numbers of Rosma.
I have to say that Ross Ma is very good in terms of explosiveness and durability, and has the conditions for the world's top horses.
The Rosma in the photo is tall and muscular, and at first glance it looks like a thoroughbred BMW.
Li Chaoren suddenly realized that this is a very good potential stock!
"Housheng, you amaze me. Such a good horse is hard to find. The Hong Kong Jockey Club needs it very much, and I will be your recommender!"
Li Chaoren smiled and filled in his name in the recommender column.
After handing the application form to Wang Zhong, Li Chaoren continued.
"Housheng, I'm very optimistic about your Rosma. I hope to cooperate with you, I will provide the most professional venue, the most professional trainers, the most professional riders for Rosma in Hong Kong, and then I will arrange for Rosma to participate in professional speed races in Hong Kong. Even participate in international competitions!"
This is also where Li Chaoren is a veteran person, and he handed the application form to Wang Zhonghou before making a request for cooperation. Avoid giving the impression of being blackmailed.
"Why not, it's my honor to work with Mr. Li!"
Wang Zhong nodded in agreement without any hesitation.
"You're really not a qualified businessman, you haven't listened to the conditions I gave!"
Wang Zhong agreed so lightly that Li Chaoren couldn't talk about negotiations. Said with a wry smile.
"I'm not a businessman in the first place, I'm a feng shui master by profession!"
Wang Zhong looked at Li Chaoren's expression of punching cotton and said with a smile.
"Besides, we are all Chaozhou fellows, and Gong Li will not let the future generations suffer!"
"You offspring, goblin!"
Li Chaoren smiled and pointed at Wang Zhong a few times.
Li Chaoren needs to control more than 50 companies and hundreds of billions of yuan in assets, so he is naturally very busy with work. After Wang Zhong achieved his goal, he got up and said goodbye.
