In the Beas River Clubhouse, Shakru really understood what the top club service is and what is the enjoyment of life for the truly wealthy. www.biquge.info From the moment members step into the club, each member needs six to seven staff services from personal service to kitchen and procurement, and there will be 12oo full-time employees on weekdays, and 2ooo part-time employees will be added to Marseille every time. The Club has a professional system to record members' personal information, from their preferred dining spots, favorite foods to personal habits, and members can receive personalized service without a hint.

Seeing many famous Hong Kong tycoons playing squash, swimming, reading newspapers, and taking care of their beloved horses in the clubhouse, there are many world-class celebrity chefs in the club to provide members with many food choices of Chinese and Western catering, and even the types of red wine have reached more than 7oo.

The venue of the horse race is the Sha Tin Racecourse built through reclamation in 1978, located in the suburbs of the New Territories, the middle of the racecourse is the beautiful Penfold Park, Sha Tin Racecourse can accommodate more than 60,000 spectators, bringing together the world's top racecourse facilities, including first-class world-class racecourse, the world's largest horse appearance circle with a canopy design, and the world's widest outdoor screen, etc., many important races, including Cathay Pacific Hong Kong International Race, Audemars Piguet Queen's Cup, Champions Mile, The Merz Hong Kong Draw and other competitions are held here. Usually Hong Kong horse races are held in Happy Valley on Wednesdays and Sha Tin on Saturdays (or Sundays).

All Hong Kong horse races are speed races, which are divided into different categories such as short distance (1ooo m), middle distance (165o m) and medium and long distance (22oom m). There are two types of grounds: grass and mud; Each race can have up to 14 horses to participate, the top five are the winners, you can get different amounts of bonuses, the prize money is distributed to the winning horse owner, jockey and trainer according to different proportions, of which the horse owner gets up to 8o-85%, the trainer is the second 1o%, the champion jockey gets 1o%, and the 2~5 jockeys get 5%. In addition, the Club organises title races upon request, in which the naming sponsor provides a special amount of prize money, usually in the millions, up to more than $1ooo, which is also awarded to the owner, jockey and trainer in a proportional manner.

At this time, Ben Nong pointed to a chestnut racing horse in the distance and said: "This is the beloved horse of Hong Kong ship king Bao Baitong" happy", this is a thoroughbred born in Australia, maroon coat, age 4 years old, it was born in a famous family, the father is E1moxie, the maternal line is jadetiara, and the maternal grandfather is bureaucracy, all of which have broken the world record several times and won numerous championships. Bought for $1oo0,000 at a foal auction, his trainer is the most famous champion trainer in Hong Kong, Tony Tony, who "happily" competed in the Dubai Duty Free Cup in Dubai and finished fifth, and I am most optimistic about him today. ”

Shakru stood in front of the large floor-to-ceiling glass window in the owner's box. Looking at the crowd below. The atmosphere warmed the audience. Experience the unique and hot racecourse atmosphere of Hong Kong people.

Chen Minzhi walked to his side. Side by side with him looking at the grassroots horse fans below. Smiled: "Mr. Pandit, buy a few bets and have fun!" in Hong Kong. Horse betting is definitely the most popular gambling among the public. As a kind of "Bo". Grow big with a small amount. It reflects the mentality of Hong Kong people "luck and wealth". ”

Then she said with some emotion: "Hong Kong is a city with an extremely advanced commodity economy, and the speculative mentality is innate. Shakru nodded silently, but he thought of himself in his heart, in fact, he was not a typical overnight rich?

After the horse racing race was very exciting, especially in the fourth race, everyone in the box was also excited to cheer for the "happy", "happy" performed very well today, out of the gate quickly, has been sent in the first place, Bennon in the box happy hand dance, but unfortunately at the last moment by another island horse "elite master" suddenly added, and finally behind a horse nose and succumbed to the second, everyone shouted pity. Out of support for Bennon, Shakru also bought 10,000 Hong Kong dollars of "happy" to win, but naturally he lost, and he didn't care about it.

Watching the horses gallop across the green meadows, Shakru fell in love with the sport of horse racing. Perhaps, after returning to New Delhi, it is a good choice to buy a wasteland in the suburbs as a horse farm and raise two good horses? Thinking of this, Shakru couldn't help but shake his head and smile bitterly, he had been with Bennon for a long time, and his thinking was unconsciously affected by him.

At this time, Benon came over to him depressedly and said, "Hey, today's luck is really bad, let's go smoke a cigar to change our mood." ”

Although Shakru doesn't like cigars very much, he agrees with a friend's argument that the place where men chat with each other should not be a place like a bar or a café, and that kind of place should only be a place for men and women to chat, or even **.

The best place to talk to men is in the cigar room. When you take a box of top-quality Cohibasigloiv from your private storage incubator, light it and take a sip to feel the mild to intense flavour in your mouth, with a pleasant taste of amber and musk. In the midst of the smoke, the conversation between men is bound to be comfortable, natural, relaxed, and close.

In a private cigar room in the club, Shakru and Bennon both changed into comfortable cigar suits, Bennon asked the waiter to open a 15-year-old bottle of Santero (Santanlo, Cuban rum brand), the waiter poured the wine into the glass, added ice cubes, and then asked Bennon if he needed cigar service, Bennon smiled no, and the waiter respectfully withdrew.

Neither of them spoke at this point, but after carefully cutting off the wrapper and slowly lighting the cigar with a butane lighter, they took a puff and leaned against the sand, their eyes slowly swirling and lingering with the curling smoke. We don't even smile at each other.

Shakru took a puff of his cigar and waited for the smoke to stay in his palate for a moment before he exhaled the smoke and said in surprise: "Authentic Brazilian Partagas D3, where did you find this gem?" After tasting it for a long time, Shakru said in surprise.

Bennon also looked at Shakru in surprise, shook his head and smiled: "Brother Shakru, I always thought that you were thinking about business all day long, but I didn't expect you to enjoy it better than an idler like me!" (To be continued.) )
