Chapter 13: Horse Racing
He bowed his head, then turned to the stables, and finally stopped in front of a small, broken stable, and pointed to a small pony in the stable, which was not only small but also had no spirit, and said, "I want it." ”
When Liu Hanting heard this, he hurriedly ran over, glanced at him and persuaded him: "Xiao Yang, this is not good, this is the most uncompetitive of all my horses, except for eating all day long, it has no value at all, you can change another one." ”
"I thought it was good, so I used it!"
Zhang Yang glanced back at it and saw that it was still licking that little bit of grass in the manger, like a hungry beggar.
"Xiao Yang, you haven't played horse racing and don't know much, this horse racing is very particular, it is more about appearance and durability, you lead this horse out, and you will lose before you compare!"
Liu Hanting anxiously explained to him, if he really led this horse out, wouldn't his face be lost?
"Anyway, it's just to see and see, you don't have to win the championship, why not!"
Zhang Yang still insisted, stretched out his hand and beckoned a servant to order: "Go, feed it to me and then take it to the horse farm." ”
When the servant heard this, he couldn't help but look at Liu Hanting who was standing on the side, and his face was a little embarrassed.
"Good...... Well, then take it with you and do as your uncle tells you. ”
Liu Hanting nodded reluctantly, and looked at Zhang Yang's eyes, which were suddenly full of disdain and disdain.
It's just a little waiter, do you know what a good horse is a bad horse, and you don't appreciate the results of helping him find it, so you have to pretend to be a hero, do you really think you're a Bole!
Thinking of this, Liu Hanting couldn't help but feel a trace of disgust in his heart, although Zhang Yang is very capable of fighting, but this problem of not knowing how to pretend to understand is getting more and more serious.
After the two went out, the housekeeper Chen Bo personally drove to the club's horse farm, a horse farm located in the eastern suburbs.
At this time of year, horse lovers in Jiangzhou City will lead their beloved horses to compete and show off and compare with each other.
When Zhang Yang and the two arrived, many people had already come to the racecourse one after another, and when they saw Liu Hanting arrive, many people came out in a panic to greet them.
"Hey, Brother Liu, you can count it, we are all dying, quickly pull out your shadow chasing for us to have a good time!"
A fat-headed and big-eared guy grabbed Liu Hanting's hand as soon as he came up, and asked with excitement glancing around.
Liu Hanting's shadow chasing can be said to be unique in Jiangzhou, and there is no horse to beat, and many people are willing to pay a lot of money in order to take a look.
"What's the hurry, Lao Xu, come, let me introduce you, this is my son-in-law Zhang Yang. ”
Liu Hanting smiled, his face was full of pride, he gave him a hug back, and pointed at Zhang Yang to explain.
As a result, as soon as these words came out, the racecourse, which was still lively and noisy, suddenly fell silent for a few seconds.
The fat man, who was called Lao Xu, looked at Liu Hanting in shock and said, "Son-in-law, Brother Liu, your daughter is already married? But are you sure that he is your son-in-law, not your family? This dress is too shabby, isn't it?"
The audience suddenly became lively, and everyone gathered around, looking Zhang Yang up and down, pointing and commenting.
"Lao Liu, do you think your grandson wants to be crazy, and you actually married your daughter to such a turtle?"
"This kid looks like a pick-up of rags, Brother Liu, this is an upper-class activity, what are you bringing in to pick up garbage?!"
Someone sneered, looked at Zhang Yang playfully, covered his mouth and laughed.
Liu Hanting's face was blue for a while, and he felt like he was being ridiculed by his son-in-law in front of so many people.
And this horse racing conference is said to be a horse race, but in fact, it is to show off their wealth and compare their respective strengths, so he will spend millions to raise such a horse.
Liu Hanting was blushing and heartbeating by everyone, and he felt that his face was dull, and when he was about to refute, there was a sudden agitation on the racecourse, and all the people suddenly gathered in one direction.
"Heavenly ...... Oh my God, come and see, it's another Northwest Mongolian horse, this coat color is simply beautiful!"
"This ...... This is even more domineering than Brother Liu's shadow chasing, whose horse is this, I am willing to pay three million to buy it!"
"Three million? Hmph, you can't buy such a rare Mongolian war horse for 30 million!"
The exclamations rose one after another, and all the attention turned to the racecourse, and Liu Hanting's side instantly became deserted.
Looking at a middle-aged man in a tunic surrounded by everyone in the center, Liu Hanting's face was gloomy to the extreme.
This person's name is Wang Shuyong, the head of the Wang family in Jiangzhou, whose economic strength is on par with the Liu family, and the two companies also have many business contacts, and they have been secretly competing.
And both of them are extremely horse lovers, almost to the point of obsession with good horses, and every year at this time, the two will compete with each other.
But Liu Hanting's chasing shadow became a winning general in the horse racing conference a few years ago, and he has not tasted defeat for so many years, and has been pressing Wang Shuyong, which makes the relationship between the two extremely delicate, and every time they meet, it is tense.
"Brother Liu, don't come to harm's way, come and see how my shadow-loving horse compares to you?"
Wang Shuyong smiled slightly.
"Brother Wang, it's not dead yet, the horse is good, but unfortunately compared to mine, it's still too far behind!"
Liu Hanting gave him a disdainful look.
"Haha, Brother Liu is still so confident, why don't we compare with each other, and see if you are fast chasing movies, or my shadow addiction is fast?!"
Wang Shuyong took a few steps forward, crossed his arms, stared at Liu Hanting's eyes playfully, and said quite provocatively.
Liu Hanting's face froze slightly, his eyes became a little cloudy, and he didn't answer for a long time.
The others listened to the conversation between the two, hurriedly leaned to the sides, looked at them with a mocking face, and whispered: "Tsk, Wang Shuyong directly named the shadow, which clearly challenges Liu Hanting's shadowing!"
"Haha, there's a good show to watch now, but I think Wang Shuyong's shadow addiction is even better, chasing movies is already old, and it's useless!"
"Yes, I think the master of this racecourse will change hands, and it should be a shadow-loving world in the future!"
Although the discussion was small, it was still clearly audible.
The more Liu Hanting listened, the more gloomy his face became, and he gritted his teeth with resentment: "Okay, it's better than it!"
"Happy, please!"
The corners of Wang Shuyong's mouth wiped a smile of successful conspiracy, and he generously stretched out his hand to Liu Hanting and made a gesture of please.
Liu Hanting nodded, and when he was about to lead his own shadow chaser, Zhang Yang suddenly shook his head at him and said, "No need to compare, your shadow chasing has no chance of winning!"
When Liu Hanting heard this, his face instantly fell: "How do you know that you can't win, his little broken donkey, I don't care about it yet." ”
After speaking, Liu Hanting seemed to ignore the dissuasion, and resolutely took out his own chasing shadow and came to the track.
Wang Shuyong also led the shadow, the two horses stood side by side on the track, and the onlookers stood on both sides of the track, watching as if coaxing.
"The old rule, three laps, whoever finishes first is the winner. ”
Wang Shuyong smiled proudly.
"Tell your shadow lover, you'd better go all out, otherwise you won't even be able to catch up with the dust of my shadow!"
Liu Hanting was not to be outdone, and after saying-for-tat, he nodded to the referee.
Then, only to listen to the referee's order, the two Mongolian horses rushed out with a bang.
The crowd of onlookers suddenly became excited, and many people opened bets, which was lively for a while.
"Come on, come on, bet on the bet, bet on the shadow's side, bet on the shadow's side, bet on the shadow's side, no regrets, bet!"
"Chasing the shadow, chasing the shadow ......"
"What to bet on chasing shadows, 200,000, all bet on shadows!"
The stakes were getting bigger and bigger, but just as everyone was in full swing, an exclamation rang out.
"Don't bet, don't bet, ...... Look, the winner is out!"
I don't know who shouted first, and everyone's eyes looked at the track, and this look suddenly gasped.
"This ...... How is this possible, the shadow addiction has already surpassed the shadow chasing half a circle? Isn't the shadow chasing claimed to be invincible?"
"You're mistaken, Shadow has already run two and a half laps, and it's about to cross the finish line!"
Someone kindly reminded him.
Hearing this person say this, everyone's faces changed, and their hearts were full of shock.
They haven't finished their bets yet, and the game is already over, which is too fast.
Liu Hanting's face was extremely dark, and he stood in place with his arms folded, trembling all over.
From the very beginning of the run, Shadow Chaser was no match for Shadow Lovers, and he didn't even touch a trace of the dust it raised.
There is no suspense about the outcome of the victory, and the shadow hits the line with absolute strength, and it is unbeatable!
After seeing this scene, Wang Shuyong immediately laughed, turned around and patted Liu Hanting on the shoulder, and unceremoniously provoked: "Brother Liu, you can't do this horse at all, what kind of chasing shadows is just funny!"
"That's right, Mr. Liu, this shadow chasing is too slow, it's not our shadow-loving opponent at all!"
"In the future, this racecourse will be the world of shadow-loving people, Brother Liu, your shadow-chasing is too rubbish!"
The others also came around, crossed their arms and looked at Liu Hanting mockingly.
Liu Hanting couldn't wait to find a place to get in immediately, being unceremoniously ridiculed by so many people, how could he be indifferent, and the roots of hatred in his heart itched.
"Hmph, luck, what's the big deal, Xiao Yang, let's go!"
Liu Hanting glanced at everyone angrily, turned around and walked towards the outside of the racecourse.
However, Zhang Yang didn't turn around at all, but took two steps forward, looked at Wang Shuyong with an indifferent face and said: "Chasing the shadow is old and physically exhausted, so it's not surprising that you lost to the shadow." ”
"Oh, so you mean, I'm not going to win?"
Wang Shuyong laughed, glanced at Zhang Yang with disdain, and said playfully.
"Yes, it is indeed unfair to beat the old horse with a new horse, and if you compete again, your horse has no chance of winning!!"
Zhang Yang nodded, and at the same time, the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, and an extremely confident expression appeared on his face.
