When Tang Zhenshan spoke, he was very serious and serious, because he had to be serious.

In other words, in this National Games qualifying knockout round, the alloy slug can't lose, and if the metal slug loses, it means that Tang Zhenshan also loses.

Of course, Tang Zhenshan lost, not only in the comparison between him and Gu Jianzhong, but also in most of Wenhuai Lake.

In competitive sports, there is always a peaceful saying that "friendship comes first, competition comes second", but for many people, winning and losing, first place and other rankings, are definitely different.

What's more, in the speed race in Mali, which is extremely focused on the race position, this difference between the victory and defeat, the difference between the first place and the other rankings, is also extremely obvious.

Perhaps with the commercialization of various competitive sports capital, the high income has made many athletes lose the most basic sense of competition, and just regard sports as their job, punching in and out of work every game, and having no intention of entering.

But in the sport of speed racing, even in a country like China that explicitly prohibits betting on horses, from horse owners to athletes, and even horse doctors who occupy a small role in the race, each of them will never reduce their competitive spirit.

The reason is very simple, because for horse owners, athletes, equine doctors and nursing staff, etc., the vast majority of their income comes from the share of the prize money, even in China, a champion horse can get a share of the championship prize money, can also account for the majority of the salary of the relevant personnel engaged in the race, under the incentive of money, they cannot fight.

Even if it is a big club entrepreneur like Tang Zhenshan, in addition to the first income of the Wenhuai Lake Equestrian Club to collect membership dues, the bonuses that the club receives in various events every year are the second income, and the profit income of other clubs can be ignored in front of these two.

Tang Zhenshan knows that if the metal slug is defeated by Gu Jianzhong's cross in the qualifying knockout round of the National Games this time, then Gu Jianzhong's club will be famous again because of this competition, and the name of "Shanyang's No. 1 Pony" will definitely attract members from other clubs to withdraw for him.

This is a completely real problem, although every equestrian club has its own loyal members, and this part of the membership will not leave easily, unless the club goes out of business.

However, if every equestrian club can only survive with the support of loyal fans, then the future success of those equestrian clubs will obviously not be high, and they will even end up making ends meet, heading into a vicious circle and eventually going out of business.

If the equestrian club wants to develop, it is only possible to continuously use the cultural history of its own club to attract new horse fan members to join, which is the way to operate for a long time, and if you want to attract new members to join, it is natural to have some achievements in various competitions and have extraordinary results in the local area.

If the metal slug loses again this time, then the future of Wenhuai Lake will also lose most of it, and this is precisely the reason.

After all, if Metal Slug loses in a row, it is obviously not the No. 1 horse in Shanyang, which cannot be loved by most horse fans in Shanyang, and naturally cannot bring more members to the club.

At the same time, the failure of Metal Slug will also make the club's disloyal members turn away after the dues are due, and they will be more willing to become members of the equestrian club that defeated Metal Slug.

Because, that means that the club where the horse who defeated the metal slug is in is more famous, and when it comes to it, it will have more face.

This is the difference between a loyal fan and a fan who follows the trend, a loyal fan will accompany a club, go through the peaks and valleys, and never give up until the club closes down, while a fan who follows the trend, once the club does not have good results, it is very fast to leave the club.

And this is also the norm of competitive sports, and there are many sports fans who follow the trend in other sports.

the most famous, like the female Cormi wearing the No. 24 Lakers jersey; Female fan in a football uniform but holding a mobile phone with a double ball......

Of course, it's not that these followers are bad, after all, a competitive sport can only grow if it attracts more followers and makes them love the sport.

Therefore, this time, the metal slug must not lose, and if it loses, it will definitely weaken Wenhuai Lake, and it can only wait for the rise of the next famous horse to enter glory.

Gu Jianzhong obviously knew the meaning of Tang Zhenshan's last words, it was not because of the stimulation of his previous words, but because of the angry words that Tang Zhenshan said to ridicule him.

Tang Zhenshan, who has long lost his youthful youth, naturally will not say that the alloy slug must win because of Gu Jianzhong's stimulation, the reason why Tang Zhenshan said this is entirely because it is a matter of who will occupy a dominant position in the Shanyang horse industry in the future.

"Frankly speaking, I admire people like Mr. Tang very much. After all, with the assets that Mr. Tang invested in the horse industry at the beginning, if he didn't invest in the horse industry, his current net worth would not be comparable to someone else's. Moreover, without the persistence of people like Mr. Tang, Shanyang City would not have the foundation of today's horse industry. Gu Jianzhong did not continue the previous topic of Tang Zhenshan's success or failure in the game.

"Humph! Our insistence on horses, fair competition like you, who gets into the eyes of money and doesn't understand, and villains who only make small moves behind their backs, will never understand it for a lifetime. Tang Zhenshan snorted coldly, hit the ground with his cane, and said hatefully.

"Hmmm! Indeed, I don't understand your insistence, I'm just a layman, I only know how to make money and lose money, and I don't do business. If I were Mr. Tang, I would never know that I would lose money at that time, and I have always insisted on doing it, I have been doing business for more than ten years, and I can have today, and I will never touch a loss-making business. Gu Jianzhong said with an arrogant look.

"Don't say anything about losing money or not losing money, I did business much earlier than you, and I look at the long-term returns that you like. Although at the beginning of the establishment of the club, it was indeed losing money, but now, Wenhuai Lake has made a lot of money when it has reached this point. Tang Zhenshan shook his head and said.

"It took so many years to make so much money, is it worth it? Look at me, do other businesses first, and then invest in the horse industry, and make no more money than you? ”

"Of course it's worth it! If we didn't do it at that time, maybe no one else would do it, and naturally we wouldn't have the foundation of the horse industry in Sanyang today. Besides, how much you have spent investing in Baijingshan Equestrian Club in the past ten years, you know in your heart that if you compare the money I invested in Wenhuai Lake at the beginning, the cost you spent is much higher than mine, and the return is also low. On the contrary, although I lost money in the early stage, but I have persevered until now, and the long-term return is very high. In Tang Zhenshan's words, he once again sharply refuted and ridiculed Gu Jianzhong.

Gu Jianzhong obviously didn't expect that he originally wanted to frustrate the spirit of Tang Zhenshan, an old guy, before the game, and would bury himself in a pit and let Tang Zhenshan frustrate him.

Indeed, if you look at the development of the two's investment in the horse industry, the cost will be more and greater in the short term, and Gu Jianzhong, who has not recovered the cost and is still throwing money, is obviously losing money.

It's just that Bai Jingshan, as the new king who is going to ascend the throne, has the support of Gu Jianzhong's real estate company behind him, and he can afford to lose money; And Wenhuai Lake, as the old overlord, does not have a deep foundation, can it withstand the offensive of the new king and maintain his position?

"Mr. Tang, don't be complacent, although I am losing now, I can afford it. The loss of Baijingshan, for me, is just a drizzle, but the annual profit of Wenhuai Lake can still allow Wenhuai Lake to maintain its current position in Shanyang, and how long will it last? I can always go abroad to import top racehorses, but Mr. Tang, can you? Even if I lose the cross this time, it's a big deal for me to buy it abroad, there will always be a horse race that can beat the metal slug, Mr. Tang, do you think I lose if you look at it this way? At least I can guarantee that the club will not close down no matter how bad it is, but you can't have any failures and losses, so it seems that I am not at a loss. Gu Jianzhong's words were straight to the point and said to Tang Zhenshan.

Obviously, Gu Jianzhong has a very thorough view of the current situation of the two clubs, which is also the reason why he, who rarely does loss-making business, has been investing in the horse industry, because he knows that he will one day be able to use the money to smash Bai Jingshan to the first position in Shanyang, and then use this to earn back the money he invested in the loss.
