Chapter 87 The brother-in-law appears
In New Zealand, you can see traces of the British everywhere, take this horse racing festival as an example, the audience here is just like the British, they are all dressed up, just like the festival. However, there is a difference that in the UK, women wear hats to race days, while in New Zealand, women do not wear hats and at most wear flowers on their heads.
They don't do this idlely, because every year at the festival, the best dressed prize is awarded to the audience, and the winner gets a free year to drive a new BMW from the manufacturer. Just rush here, and everyone who comes to participate in the competition will also dress up.
Xiao Peng thought that no one would come to see the event on the first day, but he didn't expect that the scene would be lively. In a boring place like New Zealand, wouldn't it be too boring not to join in the fun?
Xiao Peng was wearing a jockey uniform and taking care of the 'silver' seriously, and Hunter Allen was nervous on the side to teach Xiao Peng the experience of racing.
There were more spectators with rosters in their hands to study and analyze, some cheering for the jockeys they knew, and some were constantly commenting on these horses, which were all new horses anyway, and there were no results.
Almost all of the people who come here to watch the horse races come with their families in groups, and they are considered to be on vacation. More people are holding horse tickets in their hands to bet, in such a warm atmosphere, it is unreasonable not to gamble. It doesn't matter if you don't have money, the bank directly drove the mobile POSS machine, and you are welcome to withdraw money and bet at any time.
"Wow, I guess I'll see you here. Xiao Peng was chatting with Hunter Allen there, but heard Chinese coming from behind. Xiao Peng turned around: "Hey, I can see you here?"
"It's my home turf. Is the Titan okay?" it was none other than Yin Chongde, the former owner of the Titan. However, what was different from what Xiao Peng thought was that Yin Chongde's attitude was good, and he didn't see any hostility at all, which was not scientific at all, after all, Yang Meng tossed him and Cao Kui enough at that time. It shouldn't be this attitude.
Xiao Peng waved his hand at Hunter Allen and motioned for him to leave, after all, Hunter Allen was still embarrassed to see Yin Chongde. After Hunter Allen said goodbye to Xiao Peng, he went directly to the Jockey Club.
Yin Chongde came with a few people, all of whom were Chinese, and they all looked well-dressed.
"Old Yin, who is this?" a man with a cigar walked over.
"Lao Lei, this is called Xiao Peng, he is a new horse owner in China, I met him when I returned to China some time ago, and the Titan is now in his hands. Yin Chongde introduced.
When Lao Lei heard this, he asked with a wicked smile, "I heard that you lost the Titan in China?"
"What? I lost the Titan?" Old Lei, who did you listen to?" Yin Chongde asked.
"What's the name of the one in China? Cao Kui? Yes, yes, that's the name. He came out. "Old Lei Dao.
Yin Chongde waved his hand and smiled: "How is it possible, we had a competition in Inner Mongolia, but it was Xiao Peng and Cao Kui, and you also know the level of horse racing in China." After Cao Kui lost, his Hanover horse became the young man's horse. I thought it would be very helpful to improve domestic horse racing, so I gave him the 'Titan', and I don't believe you can ask him. As you can see, this time the 'Titan' is also here to compete, and you can just observe the heroic appearance of the 'Titan'. β
"Wow, Boss Yin is so generous! Three G1 championship horses were given away like this?" someone next to him exclaimed.
Yin Chongde looked proud and waved his hand: "This is New Zealand, where there is never a shortage of good horses." Oh yes, let me tell you, Xiao Peng's horse is very fast, but there are also weaknesses, you see, Xiao Peng's weight is there, and the burden on the horse is relatively large. So his horse is slower, and it's up to you to take advantage of that. β
Xiao Peng smiled: "Boss Yin, you are really unkind, you should help me, you shouldn't tell my opponent about this, it seems that my new Marseille will not be smooth sailing." "He now understands what Yin Chongde is doing.
Yin Chongde laughed: "So much time has passed. You should be starting a lot faster now. β
Xiao Peng smiled: "Boss Yin, will your horse be raced in tomorrow's race?"
Yin Chongde smiled and shook his head: "I just came here to see the performance of the 'Titan', you know, I am now focusing on breeding, looking for the next 'Mongolian Khan'." However, I'm still curious about the current state of the Titans, which is why I'm here. I don't want to see the Titans in your hands. Let me see it again. β
Xiao Peng shook hands with Yin Chongde: "Don't worry, Boss Yin, the Titan's condition is maintained very well, after all, Hunter Allen is still a very good rider." β
As soon as Yin Chongde left, Hunter Allen ran back: "Brother Peng, what's going on?
Xiao Peng nodded and continued to take care of Yinzi's mane: "We did have a good chat. β
Hunter Allen was surprised: "This shouldn't be, but I saw what Mengzi did in China at that time?" Brother Peng, I said something that shouldn't be said, if I were him, I would have the heart to kill you." How could it be so polite?"
Xiao Peng smiled: "Do you know what he is doing? Do you know what the people next to him do?"
Hunter Allen shook his head and said, "I don't know." β
Xiao Peng explained to Hunter Allen: "Those are all his clients. The new horse racing investors are all wealthy Chinese tycoons. β
Looking at Hunter Allen's puzzled expression, Xiao Peng explained: "In China, people will only see those famous horses from New Zealand, such as the 'Mongolian Khan' of Ryder Horse Industry, who have made a lot of money for them, and they will not know that it is the result of buying more than 800 New Zealand horses. Yin Chongde is doing the same thing. Originally, he had 'Titan' to make a name for his other horses, but now 'Titan' is gone. For a while, he couldn't come up with a better horse to race, so he set his sights on a new horse. And those people are all investors in Singapore and Malaysia, can he show his timidity in front of those people and say that the Titans have lost to us? Otherwise, who would invest in his horses?"
In New Zealand, there are many types of horse racing investment, and investors can choose different ways to invest in horse racing according to their ability to control risks.
There are several ways to do this, such as investing in mares, breeding stallions, and investing in yearlings, two-yearlings, and professional racehorses, each of which costs differently. Every year there are special auctions in New Zealand, with a yearling auction at the end of January, a two-yearling auction at the end of October and an auction for horses of all ages in May each year.
The advantage of investing in one-year-old and two-year-old horses is that the investment is low, but the risk is also high, and no one knows what virtue the horse they have bought. Perhaps a talented horse, take the 'Mongolian Khan', for example, it was sold at a two-year-old auction for NZ$220,000, and now it is worth at least 10 million. Of course, if you can't run, it's not worth a point. For these rich and wealthy people, buying a horse is a game.
The process is also simple: run to New Zealand, photograph a two-year-old horse, participate in the subsequent two-year-old horse race, see how the horse is doing, if there is any hope of breeding, give it to the horse farm, pay tens of thousands of Singapore dollars a month for breeding fees, training fees and miscellaneous fees, etc., and compete after the age of three. To put it bluntly, it is also a new type of gambling.
And the Auckland Jockey Club was held not long after the auction, which is also for this reason.
Hunter Allen smiled: "It's a smart choice, anyway, if the new Marseille loses, it will be lost, and it will not make him lose people, and it will not lose customers." Breeding new horses while looking for good racehorses is called a two-pronged approach. But do you think he can just turn the page on this matter?"
"It's definitely impossible, we have a saying in China, cutting off people's wealth is like killing parents. If it weren't for the loss of the Titan, he would have earned even more. He must be thinking about how to get revenge on him. Xiao Peng looked indifferent: "But I'm not afraid of him, I want to see how he can make a move." β
As soon as Xiao Peng finished speaking, he saw several people coming over, but they were all Chinese: "You are Xiao Peng, right?"
"That's right, who are you?" Xiao Peng asked.
"You don't care who we are, we're just here to talk. In the new Marseille you have to give the fourth and seventeenth horses a chance to perform. The bald man who took the lead said, and deliberately leaked his gold teeth when he spoke, revealing a fierce face.
Xiao Peng sneered: "Hey, who are you scaring about? Do you think your ridiculous appearance can scare me?"
"Oh, boy, this is New Zealand, can you believe that I can make it impossible for you to get up now?" Hearing him say this, several of his subordinates had slowly gathered around Xiao Peng and 'Yinzi'.
Xiao Peng moved his neck, and was just about to make a move, but he heard a loud laugh behind him: "Hehe, this is very interesting, you can see such an interesting picture when you come to New Zealand." β
Looking back, Di Wei and a group of people came over, and Xiao Peng nodded: "One, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight, nineγγγγγγ "Okay, this must be Di Wei's brother-in-law Li Chen and his eight bodyguards. This number, it's good if you bring six, plus you happen to be the seventh brother of the gourd baby.
However, Xiao Peng is also the first time to see this legendary brother-in-law of Di Wei, who is in his early thirties, looks like he regularly exercises and has a strong physique, and he is not inferior to his bodyguards. And those of his bodyguards, well, Di Wei is right, at first glance they are professional ------ underworld elements. It's just like saying 'We're really not good people' on his face.
Well, exactly eight words.
"Big brother, what's going on?" Di Wei walked over with a wink.
Xiao Peng pointed at the bald man with gold teeth and said, "They don't want me to win the game." β
Li Chen laughed and walked over, patting Xiao Peng's shoulder hard: "Relatives, it's really that sentence, the most pitiful Chinese outside are Chinese, and I will help you deal with this matter." After saying that, he waved his hand, and his bodyguards directly surrounded the golden-toothed man and threw them out. Li Chen said lightly.
As soon as his bodyguards appeared, the golden-toothed man and the others knew that they had hit a hard stubble: "Oh, oh, oh, don't get me wrong, this is a Jockey Club, and no one wants to make a big deal about it, right? After saying that, several people hurriedly slipped away.
Li Chen shrugged his shoulders and ignored them: "Let me introduce myself, my name is Li Chen, and when Di Wei and Xiaoru's family affair is completed, we will be in-laws." I'm here to talk about this, what do you think? When are we going to get things done?"
"Must you be in such a hurry?" Xiao Peng asked curiously.
Li Chen listened to Xiao Peng's words, and his face changed: "What do you mean by this? If you want to eat and not wipe your mouth? I can tell you that it's not so easy!"
