As soon as Chu Xiangqian heard that the people of the Jockey Club really greeted Hader, he didn't approve the dog racing field where he was stuck with large and small horses.

Not only did he not get angry, but he laughed.

The Jockey Club is difficult, but it's better than not knowing who your opponent is.

Chu Xiangqian directly interrupted Hader, "The Jockey Club won't give you benefits, and they won't hire you as a director of the Jockey Club, so why should you listen to them like this?" ”

Hader knew that Chu Xiangqian was sowing discord, but he also felt in his heart that what he said was right.

The directors of the Jockey Club are basically all British rich guys, so naturally they will not let the British officials in the Hong Kong government compete with them for the management of the Club.

Hader hesitated for a moment before continuing, "Even if I help you put pressure on the Development Agency to approve the greyhound race.

But there will still be a lot of trouble in the future, waiting for the two Mr. Ma. ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled indifferently and said, "What does the future trouble have to do with me?" Besides, it's a good thing to have trouble, right? ”

Hader knew Chu Xiangqian's thoughts, the more trouble the big and small horses were, the more times they would indeed send money.

Hader sighed and said, "Chu, some money is not so easy to take. The fact that the Jockey Club can't hold it down this time doesn't mean that they will really sit back and watch the greyhound racing project and steal the attention and interests of horse racing. ”

Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Then you can tell the people of the Jockey Club that if you cut off the matter of starting a dog race now, their losses are actually not big."

When they are almost ready and have invested enough money, it is called a one-hit kill.

in order to really get rid of a potential competitor. ”

Hader was stunned for a moment, and secretly said that this kid is really insidious.

But it didn't take a few seconds to come back to my senses, and risks and opportunities coexisted. Once the event is really well organized, the greater the determination of the big and small horses will be.

In case these two guys take risks, I believe that even the directors of the Jockey Club will not really sacrifice themselves for the sake of the Jockey Club.

After all, the Jockey Club is not their private property.

And everything is almost ready, and there will definitely be people who are willing to help them and take the opportunity to invest in the greyhound racing project.

Maybe there are any Jockey Club directors in this.

"Chu, you are this", after speaking, Hader gave Chu a thumbs up.

Chu Xiangqian laughed, knowing that Hader had seen through his thoughts.

"If I were a director of the Club, it would be a big deal to set up an offshore fund and take a stake in the greyhound racing project. In this way, he is both a director of the Jockey Club and a shareholder in the greyhound racing project.

And the money made by greyhound racing is their own. Why do you have to stop this kind of good thing? Besides, you can actually secretly invest in shares. ”

Hader's eyes lit up and he nodded hurriedly, "I'll call the club's executive director, Bridge, and we'll have a detailed chat in a moment." ”

Half an hour later, when Chu Xiangqian was chatting with Hader about the design of the Donglong Island Resort and golf course, he saw Bridge hurriedly knock on the door and walk in.

As soon as he saw Chu Xiangqian, he asked, "Chu, are you sure that the two Mr. Ma are willing to let us join the shares?" ”

Chu Xiangqian smiled and asked, "If you are a big and small horse, when you face a strong competitor, are you fighting hard with the other party?" Or a strong rival that develops into a collaborator? ”

Bridges was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

There is no need to mention this question at all, as long as the initiation of the greyhound racing project is almost in preparation, the activation relationship is stuck and the opening is not allowed.

I believe that even if the big and small horses are unwilling, they can only pinch their noses and admit it.

As long as he can take a stake, Bridge is confident enough to squeeze the big and small horses out of the management and decision-making level little by little.

At that time, even if the directors of the Jockey Club do not occupy many shares, they have management and decision-making power, not only in their hands, but also not too simple to make money.

even makes a lot of money on his side, but he says that he has been losing money.

Then come up with a development plan, requiring all shareholders to put money back into the greyhound racing project.

If you don't want to pay, that's even better.

If you pay for your own side, you will inevitably be able to get more shares continuously.

It only takes three or five visits, and maybe the project will be completely in the hands of your own people.

After Bridges was excited, he also knew that he would not give Chu Qianqian any benefits, in case he helped the big and small horses get the approval, maybe he turned around and ran to remind the big and small horses.

Or even in person.

Once there is a person like him who understands the situation, even if his side wins in the end, there is a high probability that both will lose.

After thinking about it, Bridges asked in a low voice, "Chu, I heard that you are preparing to build a horse farm, why don't you cooperate with the Jockey Club?" ”

Chu Xiangqian immediately became interested, and asked with a smile, "It's no problem to cooperate." Your Jockey Club is mainly engaged in racing and betting. My horse farm owner feeds and breeds horses.

Even if it is complementary, there is no direct conflict of interests, and there is indeed a basis for cooperation.

However, I'm not a big pony like a stunned blue, so don't fool me with something useless. ”

Bridges laughed and said 'no' again and again, but cursed in his heart.

However, Chu Xiangqian was not wrong, the racecourse and the horse farm are indeed complementary.

Otherwise, Chu Xiangqian's horse farm would definitely encounter the same trouble as large and small ponies.

Bridges thought for a moment and said, "In this way, the capacity of the Jockey Club's stables is no longer enough to provide sufficient logistics services for all members' horses."

Once your farm is complete, we will designate your farm as the sole partner of the Club, as long as it meets the Club's standards.

Just the new members and owners of the Club in the future will keep their horses on your horse farm.

No matter how much you earn in a year, at least all the expenses of your horse farm in the future will definitely not cost you a dime. ”

Chu Xiangqian thought about it for a while, and couldn't help nodding, the cost of raising a horse would never be smaller than the cost of a luxury car.

The independent stables rented by himself in the Jockey Club alone cost 120,000 Hong Kong dollars a year.

Of course, this money also includes all kinds of labor, feed, veterinary medical examination and so on.

And the stable is not small, enough to keep 20 horses.

But the cost of a single horse for a year is actually higher.

Not counting future inflation, at this time, a horse is kept in the Jockey Club, at least 10,000 Hong Kong dollars a year. Of course, this is the cost of a thoroughbred.

Changing to worthless horses can cost a few hundred or thousands a year.

But even so, it is almost equal to the salary of half a year, or a year.

In other words, ordinary people, let alone buying thoroughbreds, can't afford to raise them.

If you raise 30 or 50 horses from your own horse farm, it is indeed enough to offset the annual private expenses of the horse farm.

If you raise hundreds of horses, the horse farm will only get richer and richer.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian can also get a large amount of fresh and high-quality forage from the novice village, and just selling these forages will definitely make no less money every year.

In addition, you don't have to eat the forage that comes by air, which can also save a lot of expenses.

However, this was not enough for Chu Xiangqian.

Chu looked forward at Bridge and said, "The Jockey Club is in East Asia, so you haven't thought about breeding sweaty horses that are very popular in East Asia?" ”

Bridges glanced at Chu Qianqian, knowing that this guy was planning to make money by selling sweat horses.

But if you think about it seriously, although sweat and blood are really not good in speed races, they are among the best in endurance races.

And it is very popular in Southeast Asia.

If the Jockey Club really has its own breeding base, it can set up a 10,000-meter event in East Asia.

Even just a 4-kilometre track, thoroughbreds have to step aside.

In this way, the promotion and cultivation of sweaty horses alone can expand the fame and influence of the Club.

Once this endurance race is ranked first in East Asia, it will also improve the overall level of the Club.

In the future, we may be able to hold first-class horse racing.

At that time, the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club will be the first in Asia.

Thinking about it like this, Bridges was really moved.

However, if you want to convince other directors, in addition to letting them see the benefits, you must at least let everyone see that the sweaty horse does have a chance to win the endurance race.

After all, there are indeed too few sweaty horses on the market.

Many people who love horses may not have seen real sweaty horses.

I also don't believe in the rumors that as long as you drink water once a day, you can run 2 or 300 kilometers.

If you are on the 2400-meter course, you can get a good result. Not to mention the directors, in the future, the horse owners of the United States and England will also pay part of their attention to the sweaty horses.

After listening to Bridge's words, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Mr. Nelson from the local government ordered 4 sweaty horses from me.

Why don't we wait for these four horses to arrive, and then we will see how they perform on the track and make a decision? ”

Bridge, of course, had no opinion, but considering that Nelson was willing to buy four horses as soon as he bought them.

Judging from what I heard when I was in contact with Norton before, this is at least 200,000 pounds.

In an instant, Bridge's jealousy and envy grew.

Moreover, the horses that Chu Xiangqian had transported before were all kept in the stables of the Jockey Club.

If you do a closer look, there seem to be 32 horses in front and back.

Even if it is calculated at 50,000 pounds per horse, it is 1.6 million pounds.

This amount of money is definitely a huge amount of money in this era.

Millionaires in the United States are still really rich, and 1.6 million pounds is 6.4 million US dollars.

Unfortunately, most of these 32 horses are swaps of interests, not cash transactions.

Chu Xiangqian could naturally see envy and jealousy in Bridge's expression.

"I would like to take 1.6 million pounds and go directly to London to live as a rich man." It's a pity that all the horses I got were divided between Margaret, Norton, Ge Bai and others.

And what they gave me in return was just some land. ”

Bridge hurriedly looked at Hadr, and saw Hader shrug, "Chu really didn't get much cash. But he didn't lose anything, I believe you understand how much appreciation potential the land at the weather station has. ”

Bridges thought for a few seconds and nodded, the location is indeed excellent, but if you don't build a horse farm, the devil knows how many years it will take for the south of the weather station to develop.

Maybe in twenty or thirty years, there will not be the slightest change over there.

But Nelson was able to buy four sweaty horses, and Bridge still had an opinion on his mind.

He looked at Hader with resentment, "But you didn't tell me anything. ”

Harder smiled, "That's not right, I'm not obligated to tell you the trade secrets."

And if you want to make money, you have to take the initiative. ”

After speaking, he pouted at Chu Qianqian, and Bridge immediately understood that there was a big financier sitting in front of him.

Busy asked Chu Xiangqian, "Chu, what do I need to pay to get 4 sweaty horses?" ”

"£240,000."

Bridge immediately hesitated, with a painful expression on his face, shook his head and sighed, "Although I know that 4 sweaty horses are indeed worth this price."

But if I buy it in full, it will still affect my cash flow. ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't care if what he said was true or not, and said with a smile, "Otherwise, you can help me hold an auction." I'll bring 10 sweaty horses, 10 Arabian horses.

The 20 horses were auctioned in the mode of buyers looking first and then bidding freely.

At the end of the settlement, you will be given a 5% commission, which is considered as your reward for using your network and favors to hold this auction. ”

Not only Bridge's eyes lit up at this time, but even Hader was moved.

5% of 20 horses is exactly one horse.

This is tantamount to doing a favor and getting a sweat or an Arabian horse for nothing.

As for free bidding, it's all up to your eye, but if the horse looks good, it can basically be sold for a good price.

The horses provided by Chu Xiangqian were tall with thin heads and tall necks, slender limbs, thin skin and fine hair, and light steps.

Looking at it makes people have a strong desire to buy.

Bridge only thought for more than ten seconds, then said to Chu Xiangqian, "Chu, it may take half a month for my side to contact the local and wealthy people all over the world.

But you have to understand that if the 20 sweaty and Arabian horses you offer this time are not good enough, not only will there be no second auction in the future.

I also lose a lot of customers and friends. ”

Chu Xiangqian directly assured, "Don't worry, I guarantee that this batch of 20 horses will not be worse than the horses I brought in before."

And all of them are 3-year-olds. In less than a year, this horse will be able to breed offspring. ”

Bridge's reassurance.

As the executive director of the Club, Chu Xiangqian has all been examined by the Club's veterinarians on the horses that Chu Xiangqian has deposited in the Club's stables.

Even many horses have been directly registered in the Jockey Club, and Bridge has naturally seen the information of these horses.

The two discussed that when Chu Xiangqian returned from London, they would find a time to hold the first auction.

And the location, it is on the Happy Valley Circuit.

There will be jockeys riding these horses and running around the track at maximum speed.

And all at the same speed.

One is that the horses are in good shape and in good health.

But because he didn't run with all his strength, he could only intuitively see that the horse was the best.

In this way, it all depends on vision and experience.

For Chu Xiangqian, he can also mix those horses that are not excellent in three dimensions into one or two good horses and sell them together.

As for the champion horse, it is naturally in the novice village, and when you pat the horse with your hand, you can see it at a glance according to the three-dimensional attributes.

Then stay in the novice village and wait for the right opportunity to play in the game.

Get a good ranking, and your net worth will immediately increase several times.
