Chapter 702: Battle
After Chen Yi came to Hong Kong, he only paid attention to the bustling scenery of Hong Kong, and ignored this horse racing activity that belongs to Hong Kong.
On some issues of Hong Kong's return to the motherland, Deng Gong once said a sentence, horses run, dance and dance, horse racing can be said to be an indispensable part of Hong Kong people's life, on the way by car, Chen Yi saw out the window on the bus or sitting or standing in the hands of some people, some people are holding horse racing materials to watch and study.
At the entrance of the racecourse, Chen Yi also saw some sculptures of horses, some red, some blue, and on one of the platforms, there is an iconic sculpture of Sha Tin Racecourse, the king of Hong Kong horses - the elite master, this horse has set a record of 17 consecutive victories.
Underneath the stands, there are also huge indoor venues, which mainly include rest, food, betting, gifts and other services.
Hong Kong people are very keen on horse racing, because buying is not only hope, but also charity, and the proceeds from Hong Kong horse racing, except for some expenses, will be used for charity.
In the past years of betting, the highest amount of betting reached 92.3 billion Hong Kong dollars, and its gambling tax revenue also accounted for more than 10% of Hong Kong's tax revenue.
Chen Yat and Siu Shenghua walked around the Sha Tin Racecourse for a while, familiarized themselves with the environment, and it was almost noon, and the two of them had some random meals at a nearby restaurant, and then returned to the racecourse.
At this time, there were already many spectators with some horse racing materials, some smiling and full of confidence, and some were bowing their heads in contemplation.
After entering the racecourse. Xiao Shenghua couldn't help but pat Chen Yi on the shoulder. "Alright. Xiaoyi, according to the content of Wang Shijie's phone call yesterday, he will be waiting for you in the luxury grandstand in the membership area, and then you can go in with the membership seat admission card yourself, and see what the hell Wang Shijie is doing, as for the victory or defeat of the horse race, you don't have to worry about it. ”
Hearing Xiao Shenghua's words of concern, Chen Yi nodded and smiled. In the past two years, he has seen countless people, basically some old men with great momentum, as for this Wang Shijie, even if he has no identification skills, he doesn't care about it.
Subsequently, Chen Yi took the admission card and came to the stands of the members' seats, the stands of ordinary spectators, just like a football field. The members' stand is an extra layer of glass. It can block the wind and rain, and it is a full sofa seat, and there are service personnel at any time.
On its table, there is also an LCD computer, which can be used to query all kinds of information and bet, and at the same time, if you feel that you can't see clearly in the stands, you can also use this computer to watch the live broadcast, which can be said to be a noble enjoyment.
The luxurious position that Wang Shijie mentioned is the seat in the first row in front of the glass window, which can have an unobstructed view of the stands below, including the competition venue, and is an excellent place to watch the game.
When he walked into the members' area, Chen Yi heard from some Hong Kong citizens from time to time that he had money and wanted to get a horse, become a horse owner, and win the championship, which made him shake his head and smile.
Xiao Shenghua's previous explanation, for the horse owner, he also has a lot of understanding, horse racing has always been led by money, regarded as a rich thing to play, want to become a horse owner in Hong Kong, spending more than one million Hong Kong dollars is the minimum consumption, even so, every quarter to apply for horse owners is still an endless stream of people.
In the final analysis, the satisfaction that comes from horse racing is not something that can be measured by money, and in the same way, the owner is also a symbol of noble status and proof of social status.
Last year, the Hong Kong Jockey Club received more than 1,000 applications, but the number of owners was only more than 300.
And the maintenance fee of each quarter, is also as high as one million, after training, ready to race, it also requires a lot of expenditure, each time to participate in the registration fee, and the hired jockey, every time to ride a horse to participate, also need to ride a fee, it can be said that everything needs money.
When I came to the luxury grandstand in the front row, I was about to look for Wang Shijie's figure, when suddenly a loud laugh came from a seat not far away, "Haha, Mr. Chen Yi, here." ”
Hearing this laughter, Chen Yi slowly turned his head and glanced at it, at this moment, the person standing up in that seat was Wang Shijie, his face was exactly the same as the photo given by Xiao Shenghua, and similarly, it was very similar to his hoarse voice, even if his face was full of smiles at this time, he could see the gloomy color on his face.
Chen Yi also showed a smile on his face, and while walking towards Wang Shijie, he slapped an appraisal on his body, wanting to see what kind of character this Wang Shijie was.
At the scene, there were also some people who knew Wang Shijie, and when they heard his greeting, they all looked towards the place where Wang Shijie was looking, not knowing who he was greeting to.
Wang Shijie's location is also a certain distance from him, and the speed of advanced identification is very fast, and soon, Wang Shijie's information will be identified.
Chen Yi didn't pay attention to other information, and first looked at his mental activities, "Boy, let's give you a dismount first, let you know what it's like to be humiliated in public, and avenge Mr. Jim." ”
Mr. Jim, seeing this information, Chen Yi sighed and smiled, sure enough, some people's minds are by no means as broad as the sea, Wang Shijie really came to be a dog for foreigners as he guessed.
The reason why there is this speculation is that Wang Shijie's attitude has changed very quickly, from not caring about it before, to taking the initiative to make an appointment now, and from Wang Shijie generally getting rich in Tielijian, he also guessed an important point.
Although he has not been to Tielijian, he has some grudges with Tielijian alone, that is, when the two lunar meteorites were discovered, Jim was a member of the Titlicon Space Agency, and he was mixed with the International Meteorite Society at that time, trying to persuade him to sell the two meteorites to the International Meteorite Society, of course, the deeper meaning is the Titlicon Space Agency.
It's just that Chen Yi rejected him at the time, and he also gave him some humiliation after Jim's cruel words, and now this guy seems to have accidentally learned that he wanted the Flower God Cup, so he sent this Wang Shijie over.
It seems that this time the Flower God Cup is not easy to get, Chen Yi sighed and smiled, but his footsteps kept walking towards Wang Shijie, although it was just a psychological activity, there was no specific action, with his careful mind, he could guess some.
Just as Chen Yi walked towards Wang Shijie with a smile on his face, Wang Shijie walked up to a strange middle-aged man, "Haha, Mr. Chen Yi, welcome to Sha Tin Racecourse." ”
Seeing Wang Shijie act like this, Chen Yi's smile remained unchanged, and he didn't wait for the middle-aged man to react at all, he took a bigger step and walked directly into the sofa seat next to Wang Shijie and sat down.
At this time, the middle-aged man said with a blank face: "Sir, you recognize the wrong person, my surname is Sun, not Chen." ”
And Wang Shijie was already stunned by Chen Yi's ignoring him, and when he heard the middle-aged man's words, he reacted and laughed dryly, "I'm sorry, I'm sorry, I recognized the wrong person." ”
"Mr. Wang, in fact, I almost misrecognized you in other places just now, so I didn't feel any surprise that you misrecognized me as an ordinary person, now let's get to know each other, I'm Chen Yi." After Wang Shijie finished the conversation with the middle-aged man, Chen Yi, who was sitting on the sofa, stood up with a smile and stretched out his hand to Wang Shijie.
At this moment, seeing this situation, the eyes of some rich people couldn't help but focus on Chen Yi's body, and their faces showed curiosity.
It is simply amazing that a young man can turn an unfavorable situation into an advantageous situation and change from passive to active in such a light-hearted manner.
If the young man froze in place, or hurriedly said that he was Chen Yi, this would become the biggest joke.
And now, the biggest joke is not this young man, but Wang Shijie, some rich people also know Wang Shijie, and some people who have a bad impression can't help laughing.
Wang Shijie set a trap on a young man, but he was mainly turned against a young man, and this cunning old fox underestimated people.
But he can't be blamed, it's really that this young man is too smart, and during the whole process, he is indifferent, he doesn't take it seriously at all, he looks like a general, and he is by no means comparable to ordinary young people.
If they were them, they might be able to do it, but it would never be so easy and so breezy for this young man.
Seeing Chen Yi's outstretched hand, Wang Shijie's face changed for a moment, and he instantly recovered his normal heart, but he gritted his teeth with hatred, he didn't see it, this Chen Yi would be so smart, in order to relieve this embarrassing atmosphere, he snorted, "Haha, I didn't expect Mr. Chen to be so young, I thought he was a mature and stable middle-aged man, my fault, my fault, I didn't know what Mr. Chen looked like before." ”
"On the contrary, I saw Mr. Wang very young in the photos before, who knew that he is so mature now, presumably he must have experienced many ups and downs in foreign countries over the years." Chen Yi also retorted unceremoniously, Wang Shijie is so aggressive, he can't show weakness to Wang Shijie for the opportunity to get the Flower God Cup, and bear these scolding words.
For his friends and relatives, Chen Yi will be very peaceful, how can he be polite to an enemy like Wang Shijie.
Hearing Chen Yi's words the opposite, many people sitting in the member area couldn't help but burst out laughing. (To be continued......)
