The next morning, Wu Yanli returned to Queen's Harbour Beach and took another intact excavator to work, ready to see how amazing the ice really was. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

This time, Wu Yanli learned to be obedient and arranged for the excavator driver to start digging inward from the periphery. However, after digging for more than an hour, no ice was found. In the end, Wu Yanli, who did not believe in evil, came to the place where he was frostbitten last night, and asked the excavator to dig down carefully, but he dug more than a meter deep and found no ice.

It turned out that Li Xuan was worried that the ice would hurt others if it was left in place, so he and Zhao Bing flew to the beach of Port Queens overnight on the Arowana Xiaojin, and the night was dark and the wind was high, and Zhao Bing took back the cold ice in the air.

Wu Yanli dug for a long time, but did not dig out the ice, but dug up the traces of the explosion, and a lot of sand in the ground had been burned into glass-like crystals under the high temperature of the explosion. According to the Flying Cats demolition experts, these explosives have the equivalent of ten tons, and when completed, they can flatten things within a radius of one kilometer. In other words, it is enough to kill all the hundreds of thousands of spectators who watched the fireworks display live.

However, the explosives appear to be confined to a small area underground, with no effect on the surrounding area. This left the demolition experts puzzled. Wu Yanli kept the situation at the scene firmly in his heart, and issued a gag order, strictly prohibiting anyone from divulging secrets, otherwise he would be severely punished.

So far, the Queen's Port fireworks display bombing case has been included in the top-secret file of the Hong Kong Island Police Department, and has not caused any adverse impact on society. The majority of Hong Kong Island residents only thought that this was an anti-terrorism exercise.

Li Xuan and Zhao Bing finished handling the beginning and end of Queen's Harbour and returned to the villa to continue resting. The next morning, the Governor's Office delivered 100 VIP tickets to the racecourse. Li Xuan left a few, and gave the rest to Yang Fucheng for distribution. The Xueyuan County delegation each got a free VIP ticket to the racecourse, which can be said to be very lucky.

After lunch, Haonan and the pheasant came to pick up Li Xuan and the others. Li Muzhi and Chen Xiaoxiao are naturally inseparable from the fart. Song Zhong even jumped on the pheasant's sports car and shouted, he had been famous for horse racing on Hong Kong Island for a long time, and he was naturally very excited to see it with his own eyes.

After everyone got into the car, Haonan introduced the history of horse racing on Hong Kong Island to Li Xuan while driving.

The earliest horse racing on Hong Kong Island began in 1844, when Hong Kong Island was in the early days of the Eagle Nation colony, and the Eagle Nation people brought horse racing to Hong Kong Island, and the first race was held at Happy Valley Racecourse in 1846.

In 1884, the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club was established to manage horse racing on Hong Kong Island, and a simple grandstand was built with bamboo branches and thatch next to the Happy Valley Racecourse.

Early horse racing is held only once a year, usually between January and February, for several days, called the Annual Race. Most of the owners and fans participating in the race are Eagle Nationals or other foreigners, including government officials, foreign bank employees, etc. In the early years, the Eagle people and the Chinese people each had their own stands, and the Chinese people were not allowed to enter the Eagle Country stands to watch the game.

In 1891, the Club began accepting bets and horse racing became a betting activity. In 1907, the first secretary was appointed and the Club opened an office in Central.

In 1925, after a general strike on Hong Kong Island subsided, the Hong Kong Island government adopted a more lenient policy towards the Chinese, including the abolition of the separate stands for the Eagle and Chinese people.

In 1927, the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club allowed Chinese people to become members for the first time.

The Club first issued a horse ticket in 1931 and is a form of lottery that combines horse racing and lottery, with two types of tickets: big tickets and small lotteries, with the finalist numbers being drawn and then the results of a designated race to determine the winning ticket. The Malaysian Ticket is drawn twice a year and has since increased to 3 to 4 draws, while the Minor Draw is drawn once a month during the racing season.

Since the opening of the port, Hong Kong Island horse racing has been amateur in nature, with some hobby cyclists serving as jockeys. With the development of horse racing, the amateur jockey system was unable to meet the demand, so Hong Kong Island Racing became professional in 1971 by employing professional jockeys from outside Hong Kong to ride in Hong Kong and offering apprenticeship jockey training courses to train local full-time jockeys.

Sha Tin Racecourse was completed and opened in 1978 to provide a better environment for horse breeding and racing, and major championships were relocated to Sha Tin Racecourse. In the 1980s, the quality of horses continued to improve, and horse owners were willing to buy more expensive horses to race in Hong Kong.

The racecourse is managed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, a not-for-profit club organisation on Hong Kong Island that provides horse racing, sports, and gaming entertainment. Approved by the Hong Kong Island Government, the Club specialises in horse racing and charities on Hong Kong Island, and makes less than the Tung Wah Group of Hospitals and the Community Chest each year. In addition, the Club provides dining, entertainment and social services to its 20,000 members.

"Haonan, I really didn't expect that you have a lot of research on horse racing!" Li Xuan listened to Haonan for a long time, and couldn't help but praise.

"Of course, I've loved horse racing since I was a kid. Later, when I got rich, I often bought horse tickets, but I never won the jackpot!" Haonan said and sighed.

"You don't like horse racing, but you like to bet on horses!" Li Xuan said not politely at all.

"Hehe, hey, or Master knows me, I like horse racing and horse betting!" Haonan smiled and continued to introduce.

Charity is part of the Club's long-standing commitment to the people of Hong Kong Island and the cornerstone of their unique business model. Since 1915, the Club has donated a large amount of money every year to support a variety of meaningful charitable projects for the benefit of the Hong Kong Island community.

The Club's annual surplus from horse racing is donated to the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club Charities Trust, which is responsible for administering the Club's funding. The Club's donations cater to people's livelihood and social needs, and are divided into four main areas: recreation and culture, education and training, social services, and health care.

The Club also works with the Government and other non-profit organisations to improve the quality of life of the people of Hong Kong Island and provide timely assistance to those in need. In addition, the Club has been proactive in developing and developing charitable programmes to meet the needs of the community.

"I thought horse racing was all about gambling! Their business philosophy is good, and when we have the opportunity in the future, we at Xuanhuang Group can cooperate with this Jockey Club to expand our philanthropy. ”

"Yes, Master. If you also like horse racing, you can apply for a membership with the Governor. Haonan continued. "The Club is one of the most exclusive clubhouses on Hong Kong Island. The Club's membership is highly respected and members must be recommended by a Selecting Member, with a total of 200 Selecting Members and a limited number of members recommended each year. In addition to owning racing horses, members can also enjoy horseback riding in the comfort of the clubhouse. ”

"I'm not interested!" Li Xuan replied lightly. As an immortal cultivator, Li Xuan can ride a dragon in the sky and swim in the sky, so he naturally lacks interest in horseback riding.

"Master, I'm interested if you're not interested! I see that you are quite familiar with the Governor of Hong Kong, Wei Deluo, and you can ask him to help recommend me and the pheasant to join the club!" Hao Nan said for a long time, but the ultimate goal was to be able to join the Jockey Club.

"Okay! Li Xuan agreed casually.

While speaking, Li Xuan and the others had already arrived at the gate of the racecourse by car. (To be continued.) )
