【Chapter 889】 The Triple Crown Begins (Ask for Subscription!) )

When Xiao Feng and his entourage arrived at the audience, there were still two hours before the time of the 'Black Miracle' competition, and a dressage equestrian performance was taking place in the racecourse, which won bursts of applause from the audience.

The annual Kentucky Derby is not only a competition, but also a variety of performances, and the big names in the audience are also the objects of people's talk.

This year is the 140th Kentucky Derby, and the attention is naturally higher than in previous years, and the live broadcast footage has already found many familiar faces in the audience, which also makes the audience in front of the TV enthusiastic.

Needless to say, Xiaobei's family is huge, no matter on that occasion, they will be the focus of attention, and the on-site director has given the camera to this family in the limelight several times during this time.

Of course, Nini and Yu'er, who got together with Xiaobei's children, also became the focus of CBS's narrator's introduction, after all, if they can be with Xiaobei's family, they must not be ordinary people.

Nini and Yu'er have also appeared in Los Angeles, and American media reporters know that these are the children of the richest family in China, and they are both elite members of the Mensa Club. For Americans, this kind of legendary child will always have enough newsworthiness on him.

Next to Xiaobei's family, many super-rich people from China are also the narrator's treasures, after all, Zhang Langlang was once the darling of the NASDAQ, and Li Yanhong's thousand-degree search is still touted by Wall Street tycoons; As for Brother Xiaoma, his Taobei Group is about to be listed in the United States, and he is now a familiar face.

In the United States, the status of the super-rich who represents new wealth and technology is even higher than that of government officials, and the presence of these people at the Kentucky derby also adds a lot to the competition.

In addition to these super-rich. The appearance of Chen Long and Zhou Fa, two international superstars, is also eye-catching, compared to other young stars, these two superstars are not low in the United States.

After Bruce Lee, Chen Long was the first Oriental action superstar to break into Hollywood, and Zhou Fa also left a convincing mark in Hollywood in the 90s of the last century, and the two of them are international stars with international influence.

Of course. These two have far less influence in the United States than a Hollywood superstar who sits less than 10 meters away from them. Depp!

The Louisville-born Hollywood box office guarantee has always been Louisville's pride, so when the camera swept over, Johnny . Depp's figure appeared on the big screen, which immediately caused the audience to cheer and tsunami.

The captain is also very interesting, every time the camera sweeps over, he stands up and waves, which arouses the enthusiasm of the audience.

The director can't wait to step forward and kiss him fiercely, with such a character. The excitement of the broadcast has been raised by several notches.

In addition, American celebrities including Kardashian, Kobe, Hilton and so on also appeared at Churchill Racecourse, and the picture of them cheering and cheering in the audience has also become an integral part of this carnival.

In fact, the annual Kentucky Derby is actually a celebrity gathering in the United States, but some lesser-known people must be easily obsessed with hundreds of thousands of viewers and will not be featured by the live director.

When Xiao Feng's family appeared, the on-site director quickly switched the camera to the nearby area. After all, their movement was a bit big, and everyone stood up to greet them.

The narrator quickly explained Xiao Feng's identity to the audience. listed some of Xiao Feng's recent investments, expenses, etc., which also made Lao Mei call him a 'big tyrant'!

In addition, Xiao Feng, as the owner of the 'Black Miracle', also has another layer of aura on his body, so that more old people have a new understanding of him.

Immediately afterwards, the director found that the people who came up to greet and chat with Xiao Feng were in addition to the celebrities who appeared on the screen just now. Some big names who don't seem to be familiar also appeared.

Smith. Walton, George. Morgan's name tells you where they came from, and although they are still only the third generation of the elite of the two families, they have a lot of power and potential for future development.

According to Fortune magazine's assessment, these two people represent the third generation of elites who will gradually control more power in the family in the next decade, which means that the future of the United States will be controlled by them.

As everyone knows. The fate of the United States is never in the hands of the 'president,' but in the hands of the major corporations, which are the real masters of the United States.

Xiao Feng and these two are well known for their close relationship, and this time they came to watch the 'Black Miracle' game in person, which proves that the 'Jinghu Group's large-scale investment in the United States has received more support.

In addition to the consortium elite, Jeff. Green's appearance also made the media excited, after all, the property tycoon, who has always kept a low profile, rarely appears in public.

Two months ago, Green sold his 'Palace of Love' to Xiao Feng for a record-making $138 million, setting a record for a single property transaction in the United States.

Although the two do not have a deep friendship, the last transaction also allowed the two to have some common topics, and it is normal for them to meet and communicate on the racetrack this time.

According to what the media heard from Los Angeles, Xiao Feng decided to change the name of "Palace of Love" to "Dream Manor", in addition to his own residence, he will also build a flagship store of "Dream Restaurant", providing the best catering services to the world's rich and celebrities.

The vineyard in the 'Palace of Love', which produces 6,000 bottles of red wine per year, will also be transformed into a state-of-the-art winery, which will produce the world's best red wine that surpasses 'Xiao's wine'.

For Xiao Feng's actions, the American media and the public have long been a little numb, this is already an existence of taking money and not taking money, and it is no different from the oil tyrants in the Middle East.

Of course, what interests the media the most is the appearance of Xiao Feng and Kroenke standing side by side, talking to each other, and even the commentator of Colombia claimed that 'Xiao Feng may enter the Premier League and other sports industries'!

The last time Xiao Feng and his wife visited the Emirates Stadium and enjoyed a Premier League game with Kroenke and others, and now Kroenke is also going to Churchill Racecourse to cheer for the 'Black Miracle', which shows that the relationship between the two is not ordinary.

Before that. The only intersection between Kroenke and Xiao Feng is the cooperation between the 'Mirror Lake Group' and Wal-Mart, and Kroenke is the son-in-law of the Walton family.

However, judging from the intimacy of these two people, the two sides are no longer a simple cooperative relationship, and some people even speculate whether Kroenke will become Xiao Feng's guide to enter the Premier League?

After all, except for Kroenke. Xiaobei next to him also kept joining the conversation, which suddenly made some media reporters who are familiar with international football mutter.

Don't look at Xiaobei has retired, but he still has a great influence in English football, not to mention that Xiaobei is a Londoner and has played for Manchester United for many years, and his connections in the Premier League are not shallow.

If there is a matchmaking between Xiaobei and Kroenke, coupled with the deep pockets of the 'Jinghu Group', it is not difficult for Xiao Feng to enter the Premier League.

In fact, Xiao Feng and Kroenke and Xiaobei were indeed talking about the acquisition of Premier League clubs. After all, if the club runs well, it will bring a steady stream of income; What's more, now that Xiao Feng has decided to use the sports industry and the tourism industry to combine development, it is imperative to have his own Premier League club.

Don't look at the development of the Premier League in full swing now, known as the 'world's first league', but some business difficulties, there are still many clubs interested in selling.

The Glazer family is under huge financial pressure and intends to sell Manchester United, but the price is as high as 1 billion pounds. It also made Xiao Feng feel that it was a little too expensive. More than $1.6 billion in selling price, even though the 'Mirror Lake Group' has sufficient funds. It will also bring too much pressure to the development of enterprises.

What's more, now that the Glazer family is holding Manchester United Club, the hen that lays golden eggs, they will not let go easily and release the sale information, which is just a way to raise their value.

Excluding Manchester United, Manchester City, Liverpool, Chelsea and Arsenal, Xiao Feng actually has not many teams to choose from. After all, he wanted to be a little more convenient in the big city.

Arsenal's local rivals Tottenham Hotspur are interested in selling, but the club owner is also a lion, and the price tag of 1 billion pounds is enough to scare buyers away.

Of course, to take care of Kroenke and the mood of the Arsenal fans. Xiao Feng did not set his sights on Tottenham, and could only continue to narrow the scope.

More recently, West Ham David Brown, who owns 51% of the club's shares, has been outstanding. Sullivan is interested in selling 20 percent of his shares, but according to Kroenke's analysis, if the price is right, the tycoon may sell his entire stake and then buy shares from other shareholders to complete the privatization of the club.

Xiao Feng is very interested in this, after all, West Ham still has a huge base of people in the east London area, and they also have their own stadium.

However, buying a Premier League club is not an easy task, there are many complex issues involved, and now is not the best time to discuss.

Xiao Feng decided to immediately form a team to negotiate the acquisition of Premier League clubs, and strive to buy a club as soon as possible.

Just when Xiao Feng and the others were chatting, the various performances on the field were finally over, and the highlight of the Mercedes-Benz Kentucky Derby was next, the speed race of the three-year-old thoroughbred!

By this time, the atmosphere had become quite frenetic, and almost everyone stood up, waving their hands and shouting loudly for their betting horses.

Xiao Feng didn't care about chatting anymore, they stood up, stretched out their heads and looked at the starting point with their glasses, and now the live commentary was introducing the horses to the audience one by one.

When each horse appeared behind the starting fence, it immediately caused a tsunami of cheers, and the entire racecourse was almost boiling.

When the 'Black Miracle' appeared, the stands where Xiao Feng was also noisy, and the children were shouting loudly and excited.

After a while, the 20 horses were introduced, and then the live announcer announced in an excited voice, "Let's have the pride of Louisville and even the United States, the boxing champion Ali on the stage!" ”

At this time, the boxing champion who walked a little trembling appeared on the big screen and on the broadcast TV, and he was already 72 years old because he suffered from Parkinson's syndrome, and he no longer had the demeanor of being crowned the king 22 times in the boxing ring back then. But he still asked 200,000 people to stand up and applaud him, even foreigners like Xiao Feng and Xiaobei had sincere respect for this old man.

This time, the organizing committee of the event was able to invite the boxing champion to serve as the starter of the competition, which can be described as painstaking, if it were not for the special 140th class this year, there really would not be much reason to invite this old man to come out and show his face.

Because of the boxer's physical reasons, the starting instrument has been specially transformed, and the power button is the size of a mouse, and the boxer only needs to press it lightly.

With the whole audience holding their breath, the boxing champion pressed the decree switch, and the signal light above the starting point changed from red to green, and when all four green lights were on, the game began!

Almost instantly, the originally silent racecourse immediately threw down a large block of ice like a boiling oil pot, and exploded in an instant!

Rao is Xiao Feng is full of confidence in the 'Black Miracle' and Chen Yang, and he can't help but sweat in his palms when it comes to the end, after all, so many relatives and friends are here, if he loses the game, he will be dumbfounded.

Xiao Feng clenched the binoculars with both hands, and muttered 'hurry, hurry, hurry', which was very different from his usual calm appearance.

Fortunately, Chen Yang did not drop the chain at the critical moment, and reacted the fastest at the start, and 'Black Miracle' quickly took a half-body lead.

As the race progressed, the advantage of the 'Black Miracle' became more and more evident, and by the first turn it was well on the inside of the track and firmly in the best position.

Seeing this, the big stone in Xiao Feng's heart immediately fell, according to past experience, in this situation, the probability of missing is too small.

Sure enough, 'Black Miracle' ran more and more easily and faster in the frenzied atmosphere of the scene, and continued to widen the gap with other competitors, which made people dizzy to watch.

Two minutes were fleeting, and when the time on the big screen froze at 2:00 sharp, the 'Black Miracle' was the first to cross the finish line. Although he didn't break the two-point mark, he also set the best time ever recorded by the Kentucky Derby, not to mention that he won the championship by eight positions ahead of second-placed 'Flying Bullets'!

At the end of the game, amid the countless cheers on the scene, some ladies were even so excited that they threw their hats to show their charm into the sky!

In the audience, Xiao Feng was still a little nervous about his wife's physical condition, and when he turned his head to see that his wife's mood was quite stable, he was relieved.

The journey to the Triple Crown begins with today's Kentucky Derby! (To be continued......)
