Chapter 027: Receiving Awards and Exploring the Way

There are people from the Bank of Japan here in JRA, and Lu Xiancheng directly exchanged the check for a bank card.

Waiting for the bank card to be in hand, Lu Xiancheng really put his mind at ease.

Lu Xiancheng has been worried about his more than 100 million yen for a long time, and if he really lets these people on the other side know, it is estimated that these people will laugh in their hearts.

The JRA (Japan Central Jockey Club) has never thought about defaulting on its debts, no matter how people say that it is a large plate of millions of dollars a year, who cares that someone takes one or two million? People not only didn't think about it, but they looked forward to the stars and the moon for this kind of thing to happen.

Because then there is a publicity stunt. Human nature is like this, after someone takes the lead and gets a profit, everyone will think why can he win but I can't? Few people would think that I didn't have the same luck as no family! Always like to categorize yourself as the lucky one!

As the number of followers increases, the JRA makes more money, and now a foreigner has taken two million dollars, and with this precedent, it is possible to drive more Japanese people, and even those foreign tourists who come to Japan to buy horse tickets.

It is impossible for the JRA to lose money at all, but it will bring double the income because of the two million contributions. Now these people expect that after the news is released, they will soon usher in a small **.

Besides, JRA's reputation is not to mention two million, even if it is two billion, two hundred billion may not be able to buy it, once this money is not given, decades of credibility will be ruined, and people simply cannot and dare not use their own credit as a bet, just to rely on Lao Lu's money.

Truth be told, JRA knew as soon as the results came out who had won the $2 million.

A fool squatted in front of the betting machine and stood stunned for dozens of minutes, and it had already been privately spread by the staff as a joke.

People just didn't think that this stupid tyrant would really guess it, the probability of one in four or five thousand, in everyone's opinion, how easy to meet.

After waiting for Lu Xiancheng to win, JRA thought not of repaying the debt but how to maximize the benefits through this news, when Lao Lu and Michiko were chatting, they had already held a small meeting to discuss this matter.

Seeing that Lao Lu happily accepted the money, Old Man Sato began to talk here.

"Mr. Sato asked if you would like to be interviewed by the media?" Keisuke Kishida is now a little out of his voice, and this was said by a young man in his twenties.

"Interview?" Lu Xiancheng originally wanted to say it, but after thinking of what Keisuke Kishida said to himself, he made a little concession: "I'm not interested in TV media, if it's okay to have a newspaper, but I don't want to put my face all over the street with ......."

This is what old Luti requires, interviews can be done, photos can be taken, but you can't make a headshot that fills up the entire page, and the photo can see a big outline.

Lu Xiancheng's words made Sato on the other side a little disappointed, but people didn't want Sato to be able to drink water according to the bull's head, so he had to nod: "Yes!" ”。

When the matter of the other family was over, Lu Xiancheng naturally asked about his own affairs, and in the afternoon, Lao Lu asked Keisuke Kishida to come, but unfortunately he was Japanese and did not care about the conditions for a foreigner to buy a horse in Japan and compete.

Now that he has such an answering machine in front of him, if Lu Xiancheng doesn't know how to ask clearly, he will feel like an idiot.

"Mr. Sato, I would like to ask, what are the procedures if I want to buy a horse to come to Japan to compete?" Lu Xiancheng asked.

Soon the translator got the word in.

"If you buy a Japanese horse or a foreign horse, if you are a Japanese horse, you can participate in all the races, but if you are a foreign horse, you can't participate in the ......classics," Sato explained clearly to Lao Lu.

There are only a few so-called classics in Japan, including Satsuki Prize, Tokyo Horse Prize (Japanese Competition), Chrysanthemum Award and Sakura Award (female only), and Superior Horse Female Race.

"If the owner is registered, are you based in Japan or infrequently?"

"Not often!" Lu Xiancheng replied very simply, what's the good thing about living in Japan all the time, and besides, he is still studying, although his grades are not good, but even if he wants his parents to have fun, Lao Lu is also determined to come back with this. In this way, it is naturally impossible to stay in Japan for a long time.

"Then you need to have a contact person in Japan, to ensure that this contact person can contact you, and you must have proof that you have an income of 17 million yen per year for two consecutive years, or that you have assets of 75 million yen......" Sato explained to Lu Xiancheng one by one.

There is no problem with the contact person or anything, Lu Xiancheng is buying a horse here, and the first step is to tentatively buy it together with the ranch, and when the time comes, it will not be possible to give money to Keisuke Kishida to raise it on his behalf, so it is no problem for Keisuke Kishida to be a contact.

It is no problem that it can only be an individual horse owner and not a syndicate (joint horse owner), and he is not prepared to let people come to mix money together, so he is ready to eat alone.

The key is to earn 17 million yen a year for two years, and if you don't have this thing, you have to have a certificate of 75 million yen, isn't this a bit too?

Because what Lu Xiancheng thinks of Keisuke Kishida, a Japanese horse, does not look like a person with an annual income of 17 million yen. It's not enough for a middle-class Japanese family to sew their mouths together for a year, which is not a small amount.

In fact, Lao Lu was not wrong in his suspicions, this is the Japanese people's small abacus, to prevent any foreigner from getting a horse to come to Japan to make money, thus threatening the healthy development of his own country's horse industry.

In addition, the Japanese horses did not stand out in the past, and the improvement of the real Japanese horses began after the legendary Sunday Tranquility** was introduced by the Japanese. Think about it, when the strength of Japanese horses is not good, if everyone buys good horses from abroad and comes to Japan to compete, who will invest in raising horses, and there are no home-grown horses, then this industry in Japan is to help foreigners raise ranches, horse breeders, and so on.

Without a complete production chain from start to finish, when will Japan be able to produce world-class Japanese horses on its own?

Although it says that raising horses is costly, it is necessary to ensure the sustainable investment of horse breeders economically, but to put it bluntly, it does not want to create opportunities for those foreign speculators.

In other major horse racing countries, there is almost no difference between foreign horses and domestic horses, which has led to a situation where many people bring a horse to the grand prize of the horse racing country, and the JRA wants to work on Japan's domestic horses, and does not want foreign horses to run around in Japan with this kind of opportunity.

"Can I put 75 million in the bank?" After thinking about it for a while, I was going to catch the opera and was shocked, and the 75 million really couldn't be spent at will.

"That's fine," Sato said with a smile, "If that's the case, then it's no problem to buy a horse to race, but now it's up to you to decide what race you want your horse to race, JRA or NAR?" The JRA can only buy a foreign horse to compete in the race if it has purchased five Japanese horses."

"What's the difference?" Originally, Lu Xiancheng wanted to ask which one had more bonuses, but he was embarrassed to say it, how to say that Lao Lu also felt that he represented China when he went abroad, so it was naturally difficult to ask such a low-end question. Lu Xiancheng didn't care about the question of foreign horses, because he didn't know about European and American horses.

"The JRA is the Central Jockey Club, and the NAR is the Local Government Jockey Club......" Keisuke Kishida explained directly with Chinese this time.

What's on your mind now? Lao Lu immediately said: "Of course it's the Central Jockey Club." One is the name of the central government, and the other is the place, which is the highest bonus, so do you need to ask?

Sato then said, "A horse cannot be registered in the JRA and NAR at the same time......

Lao Lu is still interested in listening to any NAR stuff here, and his heart has already run to the JRA Open.

After understanding this, Lu Xiancheng can be regarded as having a bottom in his heart, although the entry fee of tens of millions of yen on the little devil's side is relatively tricky, but fortunately, these tens of millions are not handed over to the little devil, and they can be taken back if they don't play in the future.

Besides, Lao Lu put 75 million lying in the bank and did not move, this is to get these two magic horses, you must know that a good opera is the king of bonuses, and the big shock is not only the domination of the triple crown horse, but also the breeding of Fei Qigao horse, and the appearance of these two horses is average, and the auction price is not high (almost 10 million yen per horse).

The little knowledge that Lao Lu only brought over from his previous life can't be wasted!

Lu Xiancheng consciously asked almost, and the next thing is to consider the interview.

Lu Xiancheng nodded here, and the reporter over there sat in front of Lao Lu in less than two minutes, which shows that these people have already been arranged by the Tokyo Racecourse, and Lao Lu believes that he is now saying that he wants to be interviewed on TV, and these little ghosts can bring the TV station people over in less than five minutes.

It's also the first time to interview Lao Lu, but I don't think it's a big deal after a trip, and the question asked by the reporter is nothing more than how to think of buying all three horses triple lottery, and then what to do in Japan, how to spend the prize money and so on.

Lu Xiancheng replied the same as to Keisuke Kishida: If you don't even dare to bet 1.2 million yen, then you will have 1.2 million yen in your life!

It's a very unfortunate statement, but both the reporters and the JRA people like to hear it, because in a sense, only when there are too many stupid people like Lao Lu to run out of stock, can Japan's horse racing industry flourish, and only then can they afford to spend a lot of money to bring world-class stallions to Japan for breeding.

Lao Lu felt that the most stupid thing in the whole interview process was the photo session, this gang of JRA's goods was not creative at all, and they made themselves as if they had won the ** lottery, holding a large check with a figure of 140 million yen written on it and smirking, it was really a waste of their appearance and this good suit.

Forget it in this way, Guan Jian still has to shake hands with Sato, Sato's goods are only less than 1.7 meters, and he and the two of them will bend their legs smoothly, or it will be a little less 'harmonious'.

It's nothing to say that posing for a photo, but the hateful thing is that the two goods may not be up to standard, and the old Lu held the big check for almost ten minutes, and when he waited to put it down again, not to mention that his legs were bent and his arms were numb.

Lao Lu shook his arm, looked at the smiling little devils around him, and said in his heart: For the sake of money, buddies won't worry about you today!

Originally, Lao Lu thought that this was the end, and he could go home with his ticket, but who knew that when he left, Sato also gave him a VIP card, saying that when he came to Tokyo Racecourse in the future, he didn't have to go to the big lawn outside to stand and look at a group of horse fans, and he could come to the so-called VIP room here.

With a VIP card in his pocket, Lu Xiancheng said to Keisuke Kishida when he went out: "I didn't expect to be able to get a VIP card!" ”。

Originally, Lu Xiancheng said this because he was going to be a little nervous, but when he heard Keisuke Kishida's words, he immediately turned off the fire.

Keisuke Kishida only said: "There is still a charge for taking this card!" And it's just that you can go to the second floor, not to today's room."

Depend on! Lu Xiancheng suddenly wanted to throw this card away, but thinking about it, it was better to keep it for the time being squeezed by the crowd today, no matter what, it was much better than 'squeezing the bus' outside.

(Note: In reality, the Japanese only opened up to people living abroad in 09 to become horse owners, and here because the story needs to be advanced for a while.) There is also a small episode about this matter, Japan became a horse racing country in the 00s, but the Japanese did not want to open up the JRA races, that is, most of the JRA races were not open to foreigners. Horse racing in Europe and the United States is liberalized, and horse owners from all over the world may participate, where can little devils play like this! Don't Europeans and Americans think you're not open? So do it! All of the original Japanese GI competitions became JI. that is, from the International Division 1 to the Japanese Division 1 competition. Now the little devil was dumbfounded, and quickly let go of the restrictions)
