Chapter 314 Tokyo Racecourse
The Tokyo Racecourse, known as one of the world's top 10 racecourses, arrived on the day of the race, and Xiao Peng finally understood how high the status of this horse racing sport was in the country: not to mention the seats, there were at least 200,000 spectators in the racecourse! You must know that the Tokyo Racecourse has only more than 13,000 seats, and the lawn next to it is full of people. They all came with a couple of people.
This also has to do with the fact that tickets are cheap: they cost only 200 yen. That is, the price of buying two disposable lighters or taking a bus ride. With this amount of money, couples can play in the horse farm for a day, and there is no entertainment project that saves money more than this------ on the premise of not buying a horse. If you put it in Huaxia, this is definitely a super benefit for men in love!
In the morning, he looked at Xiao Peng with a smile on his face: "Mr. Xiao, what do you think of the horse racing industry in our country?" Since someone was found on the first day, those sneaky people have disappeared, probably because they think that Xiao Peng has already found out, so don't do anything.
Perhaps they are also confident that Xiao Peng's new horse will not be easy to win.
Xiao Peng smiled and nodded: "It's really good, the development is very good." So many spectators are here. β
"This is also thanks to Mr. Xiao's participation, which has added a lot of selling points to our race, and many people are here today to see the heroic appearance of the legendary jockey who won the Dubai Horse Racing World Cup, and they are here for Mr. Xiao." But when it comes to our country's horse racing industry, that's really our pride. The horse racing industry in our country has greatly helped us with social welfare, and it has also solved hundreds of thousands of jobs. This is very difficult to do in other countries. β
Xiao Peng listened to it and pouted on the side, if there is a country in the world that 'covers his ears and steals the bell' list, then the country of the Japanese is definitely the first. Like what...... In the Japanese country, it is illegal to sell yin, can you believe it? The Japanese country is so developed, but it is illegal to sell yin. But there are ways to do it, and they say it's called 'helping to socialize' or 'making friends'. It is not a crime.
For another example, when we watch a Japanese love action movie, we will find a problem: all the Japanese 'infantry films' (no horses) have the opening of 'FBI Arning', which is because in the Japanese Kingdom, if there is nudity in the film, it needs to be coded, otherwise it is also a crime. These infantry films are all companies established in the Stars and Stripes by the Japanese people, and the works shot in this way can be made into infantry films without coding. This is also known as export to domestic sales. What is the purpose of this? First, to not break the law, and second, to save money.
Because this coding work is done manually, it is not easy to engage in this work, there are special machines, which are very expensive and labor-intensive. A newbie may only be able to code one film a month. It's good to be able to code a film in five days after becoming proficient. The wages of these coders are not cheap, and it costs tens of thousands of yen to code a film, which is enough to hire a love action teacherγγγγγγ
Don't think how expensive it is to hire a romantic action movie actor in the Japanese country, more than 80% of the romantic action movie actors are paid no more than 50,000 yen, and the cheap ones are only 15,000 yen (less than 1,000 yuan, can you believe it?). This code is more expensive than hiring actors? It's better to go to a foreign country to register a companyγγγγγγ
And the most important point is that gambling is forbidden in the Japanese country! Gambling is forbidden! Gambling is forbidden! Important things must be said three times!
Many people don't believe this, because the most popular activities in the country are related to gambling, and there are 'pachinko' houses everywhere on the road, as well as horse racing, casinos, etc., all related to gambling. The Japanese people have a fanaticism for gambling.
Gambling is prohibited by the laws of the Japanese state, but from the perspective of ensuring financial resources, the Japanese state has authorized a lot of specific public gambling, so in addition to the provisions on the punishment of gambling that is obviously of a criminal nature, the provisions of the gambling crime in the Japanese state also have a protective attitude towards the public gambling industry!
However, compared to other gambling industries, the horse racing industry in the island country is in a better situation. This is because the horse racing industry is under the management of the Central Jockey Club, which is a public enterprise fully funded by the Japanese government and is under the jurisdiction of the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry and Fisheries. Because 'horse racing is good for improving and increasing horses and revitalizing other animal husbandry'γγγγγγ
In Xiao Peng's eyes, this is pure nonsense, but people really do it. Horse racing in the Wa Kingdom is a cruel gamble: if a horse loses a race, he becomes a glorious horse and becomes a livestock, and because 'the loser must be removed', more than 90% of the "bad ingredients" of the horse will eventually become a delicacy for humans and even pets. A considerable part of the horse oil and horse meat sashimi eaten by the Japanese people are retired racing horses, and only those retired racing horses with 'good bloodlines', 'famous backgrounds' and 'excellent grades' will be used as breeding horses or breeding maresγγγγγ
Of course, there are exceptions, such as a legendary horse called 'Chunli', who has run 113 races and almost all the racecourses in the country. As much as it wanted to win and was excited every time it went on the field, it didn't win a single match. But because of its consistent fighting spirit and persistence of never giving up, it has become an idol-level famous horse of the Japanese people. Countless people have gained the courage to continue working hard from 'Chun-Li', and the Japanese people worship the strong, but 'Chun-Li' tells everyone that as long as they work hard, they are also worthy of respect.
In this way, a horse that was not dealt with because of defeat instantly became a miracle in the hearts of the people of the Japanese country. Food and money were given to it, and a book based on it, "Run, Ulala" was published, and finally, Chun-Li, who had never won in her career, made an exception in a ranch in Hokkaido to live out her old age with people's financial support.
There are a total of 10 racecourses operated by the Central Jockey Club, including Tokyo Racecourse. As a state-run public gambling facility, this is really well run. Of course, this is not so clean, after all, the only country in the world where illegal associations are legal is the Wa State, which has infiltrated all walks of life, including the horse racing industry.
Xiao Peng said to the morning permission: "I won't say anything about your level of horse racing, but your operation here is really good." It's really nice on this big screen. β
"This big screen landed in the Guinness Book of World Records in 2006, and it was only recently broken by the big screen at the Dubai Racecourse, and the big screen that broke the record was built by our Chinese people." "Speaking of which, the morning is full of pride. "Mr. Xiao, it's eleven warm-up games, and your game is the finale. You can take a break or walk around first, there are still a lot of activities. β
Xiao Peng nodded and smiled: "Okay, it's just that I'm idle and bored, so I'll walk around." "It's not just about horse races, it's about a lot of events, merchandise, fashion shows, celebrity meet-and-greets, bands, book signings, and so on. There are also various forms of children's playgrounds, so many young parents with small children come here as well. On the lawn are couples and families. The whole big spring outing, Xiao Peng also wanted to take a look around, anyway, Yang Meng was staring at the horse, and there was no problem.
Morning Permission smiled and nodded: "Mr. Xiao, do you need me to be a tour guide? After all, I am familiar with this place." β
Xiao Peng smiled and shook his head: "It's okay, I'm just going to walk around by myself to see the excitement, you have something to do." β
In the morning, he gave Xiao Peng a bow: "Then I hope Mr. Xiao can have fun." I won't bother Mr. Xiao Yaxing. After saying that, he bowed again and turned to leave.
I don't know if it's an illusion or what, Xiao Peng always feels like running away in the morningγγγγγγ No matter, go shopping, you can't come in vain, right?
There are more than 80 restaurants in Tokyo alone! From the high-end restaurants of the Deadly Hotel to Chinese food, fast food, sushi, and cafes, there is something to suit all tastes.
There are only more than 13,000 seats in the entire racecourse, and most of them are elderly, blowing the air conditioner and sitting firmly on the viewing platform, looking unfazed. The open-air stands near the grass are all young people, roaring and jumping to cheer for the horses they bet on.
There is also the famous JRA Horse Racing Museum, which is definitely a must-visit for every first-time visitor to Tokyo Racecourse. In addition to the physical exhibits, there are also several hands-on activities, where you can simulate being a horse gatekeeper or riding a model horse to participate in a simulation race. You can also take a photo with the leading horses of these races. These pioneers are the owners of the glorious achievements of the past, and they are not retired and are responsible for the sparring work of the various horse farms. The personalities are very docile, and you can even change into clothes, ride on it for a group photo------ just spend some moneyγγγγγ
However, it can also be seen how much they value Chinese tourists. Xiao Peng was presented with a booklet written in Chinese by the Central Jockey Club, "Let's Go to Horse Racing", which described in Chinese how to choose a horse, how to place bets, etc., and the bets were simpler, all done through the ticket vending machines. Take a scribbled card to draw the betting options, put the scribbled card into the machine after inserting the coin, and exchange it for a horse ticket.
The most special 'intimate' thing is that these filling cards are also marked in Chinese, which is clearly for Chinese tourists.
Don't underestimate Chinese tourists, the first popular word in the selection of the Wa country, the first is 'burst buy', which refers to the Chinese people who go to the Wa country to buy, buy, buy. During this year's Chinese National Day, 400,000 Chinese tourists came to the country and spent 100 billion yen! That is, about 6 billion yuan. Let the Chinese people exclaim, the Chinese people are really rich!
What is the case, how good would it be if this money was spent in China? Those like themselves are the best Chinese people: Otherwise, if they don't come out, they will make money! Earn money from crooked nuts and spend it at home, this is the right way!
