Winter is coming to spring, and another good time of year has arrived.

With the wet and cold winter getting farther and farther away, the weather in Nanjing quickly warmed up, and the football league reopened.

After all, the transportation is not developed, and the teams in the big cities can play with each other, and it is unrealistic to form a league with the outside, and play games every three or five times.

There are dozens of large and small teams in Nanjing, forming a two-level league, many big businessmen sponsor this event, and some large companies even invest in the establishment and shareholding of those first-class teams, such as the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce, which has three teams under it alone, two of which are in the first division league.

The players wear the jerseys of the reason for advertising every game, which is very helpful for the promotion of the reputation of the enterprises affiliated to the Chamber of Commerce, and they also sponsor the stadium, and the means of publicity and advertising are endless, because they have Chen Ming behind them. The results are excellent!

So it has caused a lot of people to follow and learn. As long as Chen Ming is the first year of junior high school, someone will soon follow him to learn fifteen.

In the era when the league was just opened, the salary of football players was certainly higher than that of the general industry, but the cost of supporting a football team in this era was not worth mentioning for large enterprises, even if the investment in the stadium would be larger, but the income of the stadium was also good, and it would be supported by the state. And a good football team can play a promotional role, which is difficult to achieve with ten times the amount of money.

However, the lively football competition has restarted, and the Marseille and polo matches under the scenery have not been affected in the slightest. Nowadays, the two royal horse racing and polo tournaments held every year during the Mid-Autumn Festival and Lantern Festival have developed into a common practice, which has an unimaginable impetus for the development of both sports.

Especially the children of the nobility. With a red heart towards the sun, they always expect to maintain a high degree of consistency with the royal family.

And what about the common class represented by the vast number of Nanjing citizens? Since ancient times, the common people of human society have been infinitely yearning for the clothing, food, housing, transportation, speech and behavior of the aristocracy, and yearning for everything they have, this plot is not only manifested in the present, but even in the 21st century, the aristocratic style has become the high force pursued by countless people. Therefore, horse racing and polo, which were so popular with the royal family and nobles, naturally attracted the attention of countless commoners, rich or not, especially those businessmen who were not bad for money.

They have the time, money, and energy to pursue a higher level of life.

In addition to the attractiveness of the sport itself, silver is the most indispensable thing for the promotion of a sport.

Horse racing and polo, in addition to their own strong attraction, the royal family's aura of love itself adds a layer of buff to them, and now that silver is not a difficult thing, it is only natural that these two sports are rapidly promoted.

The racecourse is twenty or thirty miles away from the capital, and it was originally a very remote place, but with the continuous increase of Nanjing's population over the years and the rapid expansion of the area, the distance between this place and the capital is only fifteen or sixteen miles. When the land was requisitioned and the farm was built, it was surrounded by farmland, but now with the racecourse, thousands of families have gathered here, and it is a prosperous town from a distance.

Chen Jing is a descendant of the Chen family, and his father Chen Min is in a high position, but he is a well-known gentleman in the entire Nanjing City. This kind of "gentleman" is not the same thing as the madness of Chen Zifeng's 'ruffian hooligan' at the beginning, Chen Jing is much taller than Chen Zifeng.

He worked in the Internal Affairs Department as a clerk, but he was not seen in the palace a few times a year. Instead, half of the year is spent on the racetrack. His favorite sport was horse racing, and he even played it himself, only to be hit hard by a professional jockey.

Chen Min now has more than a dozen good horses in the Hou Mansion, and the most important ones are Mongolian horses that are one in a thousand. These are all Chen Jing's treasures.

On weekdays, when it comes to Ma Jinglai, it is also the first thing to say, but when it comes to military affairs, it is a black eye.

"Dad, is the fourth uncle really going to send Xiaojing to North America?"

Development in North America is measured on an annual basis, whether it is the operation of the West Coast of North America or the development of gold mines in Xiangzhou [Alaska].

Now that the new year has arrived, Chen Ming is ready to let go again, select a few clan disciples as managers, and go to North America to make a forward stop first.

"I'm going to pick a few capable people." It wasn't a place for Chen Mingfa to be exiled, and now he needed to go to a few people with real skills. "Besides, I think the war in North America is about to start. The Spaniards have been raising for a year. "An army of 100,000.

"It's not bad for Chen Jing." Chen Hui coughed twice as he spoke, and as soon as the temperature warmed up this spring, Chen Hui's chest tightness was reduced a little, but his face was still pale, shortness of breath, fatigue and sleepiness.

Chen Ming gently patted him on the back.

"That kid can't indulge anymore. Your fourth uncle has plans to leave the foundation of North America to Chen Jing. ”

"What about Chen Sheng?"

Chen Min has a lot of children, including four sons, but in addition to the eldest Chen Sheng, who is very capable, the second Chen Jing is a waste, and the third and fourth are still young and have not yet reached the age of going to school.

Chen Min also made a lot of determination before entering the Yanshou Palace to confide in Chen Hui.

"Chen Sheng doesn't want to go to North America?"

"He has already done the inspection of the four grades. He didn't want to leave the country and go to the Americas, thousands of miles away, to start from scratch. "So, this Chen Jing must exercise first and become a talent as soon as possible.

Chen Ming had nothing to disagree. As long as Chen Min is willing and Chen Sheng's work is done smoothly, then everything is OK.

Just like Chen Hui said before, he is not one behind!

Chen Ding, who is almost ten years younger than Chen Jing, can do business, but Chen Jing is playing with the title of 'Jockey Club Executive Committee'. It is true that you can no longer indulge, you must sharpen and sharpen it well.

There are many second-generation children of the Chen family, and Chen Ming does not expect them to become talented one by one, but Chen Jing belongs to the category of the near branch, and in the case of the opening of the Americas, every child of the close branch clan is precious.

At this time, Chen Jing didn't know how determined his father had just been, he was rushing to the racecourse, and today he also brought his wife Yan out.

Yan was born in Lianping Yan, Guangdong Province, and is the granddaughter of Yan Xishen, with a graceful temperament and elegant appearance. She was the Chen family that Chen Han married into when he was about to sweep the Central Plains, and Chen Jing was also one of the best people in the marriage family among the many second-generation children of the Chen family.

But now Yan is frowning at her pair of soft eyebrows, looking at her husband helplessly, and her whole heart is about to be overwhelmed by helplessness and trouble. Since she married Chen Jing, her outlook on life has been refreshed by her man again and again. With such a good background, he is destined to have a prominent position in the future, how can he develop a temperament that is greedy for pleasure and has nothing to pursue?

She has no interest in horse racing, polo. But her husband was so excited that he couldn't wait to soak in the racecourse all day. Yan also persuaded Chen Jing, but not only did it have no effect, but it made Chen Jing angry and didn't even return home.

Yan just had to let it go.

Now Chen Jing has bought a house around the racecourse, and this time he took the Yan family out and left the child in the Hou Mansion, that is, he wanted to live well in the racecourse for a while.

He didn't want to miss a single game in the whole spring.

This kind of thinking and enthusiasm really left Gan speechless.

In the first eighteen years of her life, the teachings of the Yan family were all family and family, and she received the favor of the Yan family, and she was born in a big family with an incomparably glamorous history like the Yan family, enjoying the glory and wealth that ordinary people's children could not enjoy at all, so she had to contribute to the prosperity of the Yan family.

So she was very obedient and married Chen Jing, a child of the clan who was said to be very uneducated.

Before getting married, Yan also heard that his fiancé was more active, not doing his job, not learning and not knowing, and only after entering the door did he know that he didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, this is not taking the right path at all!

The assets belonging to the second house have been squandered by her husband in the past few years, and I don't know how much, so I got more than a dozen horses in the courtyard, and the title of a member of the executive committee of the Jockey Club, Yan really wants to ask Chen Jing, what is the use of this?

Seriously, every winter is the happiest season for the Yan family, because there are fewer horse races and polo events in winter, and Chen Jing will not only have more time to spend at home with her, but also spend less money. And every spring of the year, that is when Yan's face is full of worries. The spring tournament will make his husband's hands and feet as vast as the sea......

Sometimes Yan can't help but think, how can he be unlucky to meet a husband who has no big ambitions and goals? She would rather marry an ordinary rich kid.

Now the old man in the house is in good health, and he can still chase Chen Jing all over the yard with sticks, and Chen Jing is more honest. But the old man will go one day, when the eldest brother goes to North America, won't the husband who has no one to suppress and discipline become even more outrageous? How did she live at that time? Can't you reach the generation of your children, and your own family will become a down-and-out household, right?

The Chen Han clan does not have the hardcore crops of the pseudo-Qing Dynasty.

Yan's biggest desire now is that the old man can earn a knighthood for Chen Jing at the end.

The Chen Han Empire is now in full swing, and as long as the imperial court is undefeated, the title of the emperor is solid. This title is silver, a golden job bowl that is not exchanged for millions of banknotes!

In the future, Chen Jing will be a loser again, and he will have living money in his account every year, right?

Chen Jing was the first child of the clan to intervene in the Jockey Club, because he liked to run horses and because he liked pleasure. The Club also needs such a loyal 'second generation of the clan' to show his compulsion, so he has the title of Jockey Club Executive Committee. Other executive committee members use their own personal networks as brokers, and they don't know how much money they can get every year, but Chen Jing, the executive committee, is fresh and refined, and he never mixes with the broker industry, so he throws money at the racetrack.

Tiger father and dog son is everyone's unanimous evaluation of Chen Min and Chen Jing's father and son.

Chen Min has always been a very important member of the Chen Group, firmly holding the power of logistics, and his ability is recognized by everyone. And what about Chen Jing? This unscrupulous performance is not Chen Jing's disguised appearance, but his true personal colors. Among the children of the Chen family of Chen Ming's generation, he is the most uncompetitive and unreliable.

However, Chen Jing brought a surprise to the Yan family today, he let his wife see that his family had returned the money at the racecourse.

When the carriage arrived at its destination, Chen Jing did not immediately go to the racecourse, nor did he immediately go to see his residence, but first took Yan to a clearing around the racecourse, and he stretched out his hand and pointed to the racecourse: "See?" From here to the racecourse, this piece of land belongs to our family. "Last year, Chen Jing took a loan of 500,000 yuan and won this piece of land, and it has only been a year, and the price of the land has risen to 700,000 yuan before half a year has passed.

Yan was really pleasantly surprised, but after thinking about it, she felt even more frightened, and the joy just came up, and the fear swept overwhelmed: "When did you take out the loan?" Five hundred thousand, God, how did I not know? ”

"Of course you don't know. Do I need to inform you specifically if I take out a loan? ”

The fear in Yan's heart, Chen Jing disagreed. "What's all the fuss about half a million? Don't underestimate this. If I sell all this land now, I will be able to earn at least 100,000 yuan. The price of this land will continue to rise in the future. Our family is going to leave a steward who will be in charge of the sale of this land and the shops in the town. The racecourse can't be defeated, and if the emperor wants the racecourse to prosper, the land price here will continue to rise. ”

"Don't worry about that half a million loan."

"It's only five percent a year." That's five percent. Chen Jing and Chen Ershao didn't look at it.

But the Yan family felt that this was already a lot, and the interest of five percent was 25,000 yuan a year, which was comparable to the Marquis of Chen Min.

"It's too much of a loss to sell now. Besides, we don't need that much money. I shook hands for less than half a year, and it rose by three or four percent. Wait for a year and a half, and then it won't be doubled. Chen Jing knew that he was not as successful as the boss, so although he was generous in spending money, he was not ignorant of money. He also has a certain economic acumen.

The entire racecourse covers an area of more than 100 hectares, that is, tens of thousands of acres. There are hundreds of storefronts and restaurants in the surrounding area, and tens of thousands of people live here. Businessmen from all walks of life can be found here. It was at an extraordinary speed that a thriving town was born! Every month, these shops pay millions of normal commercial taxes to Nanjing, and the tax paid by the Jockey Club itself is in the unit of 'millions'.

Prosperous competitions and a large number of people make the land here soar into the sky like a rocket. Chen Jing is fully convinced that over time, the price of land here will definitely be comparable to the most expensive land in Nanjing!

Chen Jing accompanied Yan while walking and talking, and people came and went in the streets, and couples and lovers of men and women were very common here. But the deacon on duty of the Jockey Club today quickly appeared in front of Chen Jing and his wife, and said very humbly and flatteringly: "Second Master Jing, Second Lady, the villain has lost his welcome, atone for his sins!"

Turn around in front to the entrance, and the villain will lead you two in front. ”

The Jockey Club is definitely a huge interest group, as far as Chen Jing knows, Suzhou, Yangzhou, Ningbo, Fuzhou, Wuhan, Lushan and other places have been opening one after another, and each city Jockey Club is crowded with local tycoons, it is like a large monopoly gathering, and there are close ties between the Jockey Clubs in various places. Chen Jing is no longer angry, and he also knows that the future of the Jockey Club is very bright.

Once the horse club in each place solves the problem of land use, it can evolve into a gold-absorbing beast after landing. He has been in the Jockey Club, and let his reputation be bound to the Jockey Club, and he is still dark-oriented, which is for future development.

There are interest groups of different sizes and parties within the club, and now the main interests of the club, in addition to the officials, are all taken by these people, and Chen Jing never wants to get a piece of the pie, because his plans are even bigger. He wants to consolidate his personal relations and contacts with various interest groups, and Chen Jing is not involved in the interests of the Jockey Club now because his ambitious goal is to point to the position of chairman of the Jockey Club. This is a grand wish that Chen Min and his old son don't know.

Then he has to make everyone accept and tolerate him, and giving up benefits is a good choice for him at the moment.

Sooner or later, the Emperor's will was to withdraw from the Jockey Club. The blank dominance, the Kyushu Chamber of Commerce will certainly divide a large piece, and Chen Jing also hopes that he can have a place.

Of course, Chen Jing doesn't know now that his grand goal is destined to go bankrupt, because he is going to North America.
