Chapter 765: Avid horse racing (1/2)

”More than 20 million Hong Kong dollars!” Xia Ruofei heard a lot of words.

Ma Xiong said with a smile: ”For a horse, such a price can be no exaggeration! Xia Sheng, do you know the most expensive pure blood horse worth? More than 60 million, US dollars!”

”This is the real ‘BMW’!” Xia Ruofei joked, “It’s much more expensive than a BMW...”

Guo Hongjiang couldn’t help but laugh and said: “It’s really a bit of money to play horse racing. A good horse is worth a lot of money. In addition, the maintenance and training of horses, etc., the cost is very high in one year. Others. Do not say, if you go to the field to participate in the competition, it is the cost of transshipment, each time is hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars!”

”This is really a movement for the rich...” Xia Ruofei couldn't help but sigh.

Guo Hongjiang said with a smile: ”Not at all, there is money and money to play, no money and no money to play!”

After he said that he pointed to the stands downstairs, he said: ”Gambling horses can be said to be almost universal participation in Hong Kong Island. The threshold is very low. Tickets for Happy Valley Racecourse only cost HK$10. It is OK to brush Octopus directly. And the betting threshold is very low, you can buy it for 10 dollars, there are still a lot of games, you can buy a win, buy a position, buy a win, etc...”

Ma Xiong said with a smile: ”Guo Dong, if you have time, you can take Xiasheng to see your love horse!”

”No problem! 'Star of Hong Kong Island' should be undergoing various inspections now, and it is not possible to contact the outside world before the game.” Guo Hongjiang said with a smile. ”But before the game starts, I can take Mr. Xia to take a closer look. !”

Xia Ruofei nodded and glanced around in the box. He said with a smile: ”In fact, you don't have to look at it. The photos here should all be 'Star of Hong Kong Island'?”

This box is exclusive to Guo Hongjiang. Even if he didn't come, this side is not open to the outside world, so the decoration and layout of the box are arranged according to Guo Hongjiang's preferences.

There are a lot of photos hanging on the wall of the box, all of which are the same horse. Since the star of Hong Kong Island is so popular with Guo Hongjiang, it is not difficult to guess.

Guo Hongjiang smiled and nodded and said: ”Yes! These photos have just been changed this year. My previous horse has been retired, and there are still several standards that have not yet reached the competition.”

Then he said with a sigh of relief: ”It is not easy to find a good horse this year!”

Ma Xiong joked on the side: ”Do you have this 'Star of Hong Kong Island' is not enough? I don't know how many people envy you!”

”Haha! That's my vision!” Guo Hongjiang said with some smugness. ”I didn't take long for this horse to be born, I bought it and taught it for a long time!”

Xia Ruofei had some accidents and said: ”That is, when a little pony was born, Guo Dong spent more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars?”

Ma Xiong said with a smile: ”This is normal! Guo Dong has a dedicated team, his experience is very rich, his vision is very accurate! The blood of Hong Kong Island is very pure, and his father is also a champion horse, so The high selling price of the horse is quite normal! The current 'Hong Kong Island Star' has taken so many championships, and the value is definitely more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars. It is more than doubled!”

Ma Xiong said that he looked to Guo Hongjiang.

Guo Hongjiang smiled a little smugly and said: ”This value does not make sense. Anyway, I can't sell the 'Star of Hong Kong Island'. This is my baby!”

”That is! Hong Kong Island Guo Dong loves the horse, this is everyone's knowledge!” Ma Xiong snarled.

”Ha ha! People always want to be a little hobby!” Guo Hongjiang said with a smile, then looked at Xia Ruofei and asked, ”Xia Sheng, are you interested in buying a few notes to play? My 'Hong Kong Island Star' play still It’s relatively stable, and there aren’t any strong opponents tonight, and it’s not a big problem to win.”

Xia Ruofei nodded and said: ”Okay! Then play, but the meaning is just fine, focus on entertainment!”

At the level of Guo Hongjiang, it is impossible to really gamble.

In fact, Guo Hongjiang has played away from the pursuit of the general public. It is a bit like Ma Xiong’s foreign horse racing culture. Guo Hongjiang used this horse as an entertainment and social occasion, and talked with friends about horses. Enjoy the game.

As for how much profit and how much bonus the horse can bring to him, it really doesn't matter that he is the king of real estate on Hong Kong Island. Every minute the profits created by the company are greater than the profits of a horse race, not to mention the possibility of being in the box. Chatting into a business, you can buy ten ”Hong Kong Island Stars”.

”Okay! You can bet directly in the box! I will teach you!” Guo Hongjiang said happily.

Hong Kong Island horse racing has developed into a very mature industrial chain. Now, even if it is not on site, you can place bets.

The Internet is so developed that it can now accept foreign bets.

Of course, there is also a spacious indoor trading hall in the racecourse, where there are always crowds and busy staff.

Guo Hongjiang, in the box of the director of the Jockey Club, is naturally free to bet.

Guo Hongjiang took Xia Ruofei to the side of a device similar to the ktv karaoke machine and operated it on the touch screen.

Xia Ruofei invested 10,000 Hong Kong dollars, although it is said to buy entertainment, but it is not possible to really only buy a 10 Hong Kong dollars, it is too much loss.

As for the object of betting, it is natural to buy Guo Hongjiang’s “Star of Hong Kong Island” to win.

Even if this horse is not optimistic, Xia Ruofei is not likely to buy another horse. In fact, the emotional intelligence can be too low.

Guo Hongjiang smiled and helped Xia Ruofei complete the bet. He handed the horse ticket similar to the mainland lottery style printed on the terminal to Xia Ruofei, and then said: ”Mr. Xia, 'Star of Hong Kong Island' is not high. However, if the victory is stable, there should be no suspense in this game. It is okay to earn a few thousand dollars at that time!”

”Haha! Then take care of Guo Dong!” Xia Ruofei laughed.

Night falls.

Guo Hongjiang told the people to send a sumptuous dinner, and also opened a bottle of his red wine, and in the horse room box, Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong had a meal.

Naturally, there will be only one game in the night. In fact, there are a total of eight horses tonight, half an hour apart. Guo Hongjiang’s “Star of Hong Kong” is about 8:30 in the evening.

So when everyone was eating, the game had already started.

Xia Ruofei is also a feeling of the frenetic atmosphere of Hong Kong Island horse racing.

The following ordinary stands are full of seats. When the horses are ready to go, the crowd is already unable to sit still, and everyone is almost standing.

At the moment of departure, the entire racecourse was almost boiling.

Everyone waved their horse tickets and horses, and they shouted in various languages. There were English, Cantonese, and of course, Mandarin. Hong Kong Island horse racing is an indispensable part of the mainland tourists.

Even in the member box where the sound insulation effect is very good, Xia Ruofei can feel the vibration of the entire grandstand, and the following shouts are also coming in.

”eon!”
