Arthur looked back and saw his princess, like a little woman, half of her body leaned into Chu Xiangqian's arms, and said in her heart that it was impossible not to be annoyed.

But after investigating overnight last night, I also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Chu Xiangqian.

Even he was a victim.

Then Arthur cursed in his heart, the victim of hell.

Nodding helplessly to Chu Qianqian, "You say, sir." ”

"Help me ask a room manager named Eve Zheng if he's coming to work today?"

Arthur looked at Chu Xiangqian suspiciously, and saw that he had a mocking smile on his face.

immediately knew that Chu Xiangqian had already guessed that someone was secretly doing something.

I could only promise, "Yes, sir, I'll help you inquire later." ”

Margaret shook Chu Xiangqian's arm slightly in confusion, but Chu Xiangqian shook his head and didn't intend to explain.

If Zheng Sufen is okay, then help her, and thank her for her kindness last night when someone wanted to drug her.

If that woman is really an Englishman, then it is better to continue to keep her in her sight, which is better than not knowing when another female agent will appear next to her in the future.

If necessary, he can even use Zheng Sufen to pass on the information he hopes to pass on to the British to the British.

Of course, if it is not a last resort, this information is better not false.

Otherwise, the agents are not stupid, and it is easy to wonder if the person who provided the information has ulterior motives.

When the convoy arrived at the racecourse, Chu Xiangqian hadn't gotten out of the car yet, and he saw Bridge, Nelson, and Hader standing together and waiting for him from a distance.

As soon as Chu got out of the car, Hader complained, "Chu, you have to treat you at noon, we have been waiting for you for two and a half hours." ”

Chu Qian raised his left hand and looked at his watch, the time was already 11 o'clock.

Shrugged his shoulders and said, "No problem, how about I invite you to a restaurant in Shanghai at noon and have a seafood dinner?" ”

At this time, Bridges and Nelson were interested, and when Margaret called Chu Xiangqian, and was taken out of the car by Chu Xiangqian's hand, the three of Hader wanted to eat this lunch even more.

Although Chu Xiangqian was late, the preparations on the horse farm side had already been made.

The group went to the spectator seat next to the track, and before they chatted for a while, the four sweaty horses had been led into the starting gate.

Chu looked forward at Nelson and said with a smile, "These four horses belong to you, and you call the shots." ”

Nelson nodded hurriedly, for the sake of these four horses, he gave Chu Xiangqian 3.2 million Hong Kong dollars, plus a commission of 160,000 Hong Kong dollars.

When I came to see the four horses in the morning, I looked very good, and after a veterinarian examination, I was sure that the four horses were in excellent condition.

But no matter how good your physical condition is, if you can't run on the track, it's useless.

Of course, it's okay to be a stallion.

After the four riders signaled that they were ready, Nelson gave a thumbs up to the starter, who was more than ten meters away.

The other party nodded, pressed the second reader, and a countdown sound of 'doot toot' sounded.

After the sound of 'dropping', the starting gate suddenly opened.

The four knights kicked the horses in the belly, and the four horses instantly rushed onto the track and ran with all their might.

Just the acceleration, and an experienced person can almost tell that these four horses are at least qualified to go on the track.

As for the final result, of course, it depends on the speed of the horse itself and the cooperation of the rider.

Fortunately, the situation was not bad, and by the end of the 1600 meters, all four horses had run under 1 minute and 47 seconds.

This result is no worse than the jujube sweat and blood horse that Chu Xiangqian gave to Norton and finally fell into Margaret's hands.

Just running this race, Nelson's four sweaty horses have risen from 200,000 pounds to 240,000 or even 280,000 at once.

Nelson was so excited that he wanted to keep Chu Xiangqian, even after being stopped by Chu Xiangqian with his hand, he still said excitedly, "Chu, you are my God, if you have anything in the future, you are welcome to come to me at any time." ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, but all the horses that he sold and gave away, except for the porcelain white sweat and blood that he gave to Margaret, the three-dimensional attributes were actually not much different.

And running under 1 minute and 47 seconds is actually just a qualification to go on the track.

If you want to get a result, you have to run under 1 minute and 40 seconds.

If you want to win the championship, the previous record at the Hong Kong Island Happy Valley Circuit was 1:35.67.

This result is a record, naturally it is not the norm, but if you want to get the ranking, you can't run 1 minute and 38 seconds, it is a dream.

If you want to win the championship, you have to have a time of less than 1 minute and 37 seconds to have a chance.

However, the record at the Happy Valley Circuit has been improved to 1:34.57 by the champion knight.

Many people believe that this record will be difficult to break for many years to come.

After all, a true champion horse usually does not come to Hong Kong Island to participate in a second-class race that only costs 50,000 Hong Kong dollars.

And the speed of thoroughbreds, faster than sweat horses, is already recognized common sense.

Therefore, it is already surprising and surprising that these four sweaty horses can run within 47 seconds on the track for the first time.

"Do you want to run another 2,400-meter, or even a 4-kilometer endurance test?"

As soon as Bridge finished saying this, Chu Xiangqian didn't speak, and Nelson directly refused.

"NONO, IF YOU WANT TO TEST, YOU HAVE TO WAIT FOR MY FOUR HORSES, WHO ARE USED TO THE CLIMATE OF HONG KONG ISLAND. Otherwise, it's too risky, and I don't want to risk my babies getting hurt. ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, and Bridge only shrugged.

After all, these four horses were indeed Nelson's, and he refused to run again, which was the right decision.

Margaret, who was on the side, couldn't help but think of the porcelain white sweat horse that Chu sent to her.

Pulling Chu Xiangqian's arm, he asked, "My dear, how long will it take for the pure white sweat blood horse you gave me to be transported over?" ”

Hader, Nelson, and Bridge were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at Margaret with envy on her face and a smug expression on her face.

It's a pity that this chick is a princess, not to mention buying it forcibly, even if the bid exceeds the market price by two or three percent, people will not sell it.

I could only look at Chu Qianqian expectantly.

Chu stretched his hand forward, "Don't look at me like that." In order to find the porcelain white sweat blood horse, I formed a team of 11 horses, and it took half a month to run dozens of tribes to find the information about the horse.

Finally, in a small tribe near the desert, the horse was found. ”

Then Chu looked forward to Margaret, "There is no airport over there, my people have to lead that horse through Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan into the Celestial Empire first."

Moreover, the western side of the Celestial Empire is too big, and it takes a lot of time to get to the airport.

Calculating the distance, the horse team should have entered the Celestial Empire by now. If it's fast, it's a few days, and if it's slow, it's possible for half a month. ”

Margaret was immediately unhappy, but she was not an unreasonable person, she was unhappy in her heart, she just pouted, she didn't lose her temper, and she didn't have a face to Chu Xiangqian.

"Well, if it really takes half a month, it doesn't mean that by the time the horse arrives on Hong Kong Island, we will already be back in London to watch the champion knight race in the first leg of the Triple Crown.

When the horses are transported to London again, they will have to wait for ten days and half a month? ”

Chu Xiangqian came back to his senses at this time, and the first leg of the Triple Crown was indeed a few days away.

After careful calculation, I had to rush over three days in advance, and I could only take three or five days at most on Hong Kong Island.

This is not good, Chu Xiangqian pretended to think, "Then I will send a message to the leader of the horse team when I go back and ask them to contact the private jet."

It should only take two or three days to get it. ”

Margaret's face was overjoyed, and then she remembered that Chu Xiangqian had spent more than 300,000 US dollars before and after in order to find this horse.

Such a large sum of money, just to give it to herself as a gift, Margaret felt pain when she thought about it.

But let her refuse, this chick is reluctant, and she can't wait.

Weakly asked, "Isn't that another extra cost?" ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, anyway, it doesn't cost money, when do you want to release it, it's just to drive a carriage and walk around the dock.

"It's good if you're happy, the question of money is something I should think about."

Margaret who said this couldn't wait to throw herself into Chu Xiangqian's arms.

Hader, Nelson, Bridge, Arthur and several other bodyguards couldn't help but secretly give Chu Qianqian a thumbs up.

No wonder Margaret is so obsessed with him, this is a gift of at least 150,000 pounds, or even 200,000 pounds.

Moreover, sweat and blood horses were scarce, and pure white and golden ones were even less.

In the European and American horse market, it has been many years since I have seen the sales record of these two colors of sweaty horses.

And scarcity means more expensive, plus the blessing of appearance, if you meet a super-rich man who wants to give his daughter an adult gift, the price of 300,000 pounds may be possible.

This is no more expensive than the price of some Grade 2 thoroughbred champions.

And the price of 50,000 pounds for an ordinary sweaty horse is actually very high.

But although there are many thoroughbred horses in the market, sweaty horses rarely appear, and even some people are willing to spend money, but there are no channels to buy them.

Of course, this also has a lot to do with the fact that although Turkmenistan has not openly banned the export of sweat and blood horses, in fact, it is difficult for Europeans and Americans to enter Turkmenistan.

At this time, Turkmenistan was actually one of the members of the Red Polar Bear decades ago, which means that Turkmenistan is now the territory of the Red Polar Bear.

It's strange that Europeans and Americans will casually run over and buy sweaty horses.

Maybe there are people in polar bears now, and they are investigating whether there are people selling sweat and horses in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and other places.

At noon, a group of more than a dozen people plus bodyguards boarded a 30-meter medium-sized sea boat called Sea Treasures.

Taking advantage of the windy weather and the sun was not too big, Chu Xiangqian directly asked the boatman to set up a long table on the sightseeing splint on the second floor.

Then take Margaret to see all kinds of seafood that was raised on the boat and caught last night.

At a glance, I saw an eastern star spot of at least more than thirty catties.

Chu Xiangqian immediately asked, "No one ordered this fish, right?" ”

The boatman's face was happy, and he shook his head hurriedly, "This was received by a fisherman just now in the morning, and I haven't had time to call the old customer yet." ”

Chu Xiangqian didn't even ask the price now, "That's okay, it's just this fish." Get some fresh seafood, just enough to eat. ”

The boatman nodded hurriedly, they have always attached the most importance to repeat customers in this kind of sea restaurant.

"The boss can rest assured that you will be satisfied with your food and not wasted."

Margaret was still a little helpless at first, with the eastern star spots all over the body and starry spots.

But after waiting for the boatman to serve the food and asking about the fragrance, he immediately let go of the scruples in his heart and learned from Chu Xiangqian, Hader and others to eat fish and meat with chopsticks.

Just after tasting it, Margaret's eyes lit up, and Chu Xiangqian was worried that she was not used to chopsticks, so she used spoons and chopsticks to pick up vegetables for her from time to time, and Margaret ate more comfortably.

The people at the same table glanced at each other, sighed helplessly, and simply put all their thoughts on the delicious food on the table.

When they were waiting to settle the bill, everyone saw Chu Xiangqian take out a wad of 100 denominations from his wallet and hand it to the boatman.

I couldn't help but ask curiously, "Chu, how much is this meal?" ”

Chu Xiangqian laughed, "That Eastern Star Spotter alone costs 2,001, and the other seafood adds up to about the same price." Add 6 bottles of 58-year-old Lafite, and one meal costs four thousand. ”

In the future, the eastern star grouper can be farmed a long time ago, and the price is about 100, but now this fish is all wild.

And a fish of more than 30 catties is said to be rare to see once a year, and there is no problem at all.

Several ghost bodyguards were taken aback, more than 4,000 Hong Kong dollars is equal to 250 pounds, which is enough for their monthly salary.

In his heart, he was envious, jealous, and hateful to Chu Xiangqian.

Waiting for the boat to sail back to Victoria Bay from the offshore, Chu Xiangqian took Margaret to hide in the stern of the first floor, and stared at the sea with the chick in his arms from behind, talking and laughing while watching.

Margaret also leaned her back directly on Chu Xiangqian's chest, and was amused by Chu Xiangqian's words from time to time.

When she got ashore, this chick probably didn't sleep well last night, and she covered her mouth and yawned when she got in the car.

Chu Xiangqian sent her back to the hotel, and he called Norton to make an appointment to meet at the law firm to sign the contract for the sale and purchase of the hilltop villa.

Driving his own car, he chose a pearl necklace from the warehouse in the novice village and planned to give it to Norton.

When eating at the Sea Restaurant before, Chu Xiangqian asked Hader, Bridge, and others that the hilltop villa now basically costs two or three million Hong Kong dollars.

And Norton's villa is 1,200 square meters, which is already very large in a hilltop villa.

Mid-levels will be a little bigger, many of them are 1,000 to 1,500 square meters.

Some villas on the side of Deep Water Bay will be much bigger, and some of the villas in Deep Water Bay are actually built on the mountainside, which is also a mid-level villa.

Also because of the proximity to the sea, the viewing effect is better.

So Chu Xiangqian estimated that if the villa was really quoted outward, it should be able to shout 2.5 million Hong Kong dollars.

But Norton's price cut in order to offset the £500,000 antiques, paintings and bronzes.

Otherwise, don't even think about it, Chu Xiangqian will most likely not agree.

Even if you agree, you will definitely not be happy. Norton didn't necessarily think of this, but the people around him, and his relatives in London, couldn't have been unaware of it.

Therefore, after Chu Xiangqian took advantage, he thought about returning the gift.

Although a pearl necklace is precious, I really want to spend money to buy it in this year, and a pearl necklace with a diameter of 14 mm is actually only tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

But even if it is tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars, it is equivalent to a house, which is really not cheap.

In the future, when pearls can be farmed, that's when prices plummet.
