Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

Chapter 643: Jockey Club Members

Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong looked at each other, the latter motioned to the former and said, Bao Yugang laughed heartily: "You have supported us so many times, and our hearts are also long, how can we be indifferent, but Zuo Xiang You want to find that you are not short of anything, and I happened to listen to opera a few months ago, and was inspired by the phrase 'BMW with heroes since ancient times', and thought that you should like BMW."

"No, Lao Huo and I will give you a horse alone. I wish you the best and the best!"

"Now that you like these two horses, we can rest assured that we didn't work in vain, haha!"

Huo Yingdong smiled and nodded and said, "That's what Lao Bao and I mean."

Xia Yu shook his head in disbelief, but his heart was hot.

"Lao Bao, Lao Huo, I can feel your thoughts. It took so much trouble to find two horses for me, and they are so precious, I am ashamed!"

Huo Yingdong immediately retorted righteously: "Xia Yu, we should be the ones who deserve it, these two horses are not worth a lot of money, this is a trace of my heart and Lao Bao, if you don't accept it , This is making us sleep uneasy!"

Bao Yugang also said solemnly: "That's right, Xia Yu, these two horses are not worth mentioning compared to the ones you helped us. If you look down on me and Lao Huo, then don't refuse any more, so as not to hurt us. feelings between."

Xia Yu took a deep look at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, smiled and shook his head and said with emotion, "Since all of you have said this for the sake of it, if I make excuses, it will be inhumane."

"Then I accept it, thank you for your kindness!"

As soon as these words came out, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong showed smiles one after another.

"Haha, no need to thank you, it's our greatest honor if you like it."

"Yeah, it will be more peaceful to go back to sleep..."

"Hahaha……"

After laughing, Xia Yu continued to observe the two horses up close, the more he looked, the more he liked them, the expression on his face was not hidden at all.

Now that the two horses are his, his attitude towards horse appreciation has changed.

"By the way, Xia Yu, there is one more thing to tell you."

Bao Yugang said suddenly.

Xia Yu raised his brows and asked with a little doubt, "What's the matter?"

"I learned that you didn't join the Jockey Club, so I made an assertion and jointly recommended you with Lao Huo. The board of directors of the Jockey Club has agreed with all the members. I will come later to select the membership certificate. In the living room, I will give it to you later. you."

Bao Yugang said.

Xia Yu was greatly surprised, touched his chin, and said with a smile, "I remember that if I want to join the Jockey Club, I have to apply first and then find a recommender. I'm just skipping the process?"

He didn't write an application to join the Jockey Club. Now, when Bao Yugang said that, even the certificate has come down, and there are only 200 selected members, which really surprised him.

Huo Yingdong, who was on the side, laughed and said as a matter of course: "It is natural for ordinary people to follow this process, and they have to queue for four or five years, but if you want to do this, the sign of the Jockey Club will be destroyed."

"It is an honor for you to join the Jockey Club. When Lao Bao and I recommended it to you, the board of directors didn't know how happy it was."

Bao Yugang nodded and smiled: "Yes, ordinary people are proud to join the Jockey Club. Now your prestige is unmatched, and the Jockey Club is proud of your joining."

"You don't know,

You have never joined the Jockey Club, and when people ask questions at a few gatherings, the board of directors can’t hang their faces, haha…”

Bao Yugang said, as if the scene at that time emerged in front of him, he couldn't help laughing.

Xia Yu smiled, although Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong both had the element to support him, but if you think about it carefully, it is really possible.

If in Hong Kong, which company and consortium have the largest capital and the most influential influence, it is definitely HSBC.

However, excluding the Hong Kong government, if any institution or company has the greatest influence on the whole of Hong Kong, then everyone will say that it is the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Founded in 1884, the Hong Kong Jockey Club was originally established by a group of British people. It is the world's largest organization for speed racing, and has also been designated by the Hong Kong government as the operator of the Hong Kong gaming industry.

At the same time, it also assists the government in combating illegal gambling. It is the largest non-profit organization in Hong Kong and the largest charitable organization in Hong Kong.

Moreover, the Hong Kong Jockey Club now has more than 20,000 members and employs more than 40,000 employees, creating a large number of joint jobs in catering, entertainment, shopping, etc., making a huge contribution to the employment of Hong Kong.

In 1971, Hong Kong horse racing turned into a formal professional activity, and the sport became the largest sporting event in Hong Kong. For every horse race, the Sha Tin Racecourse in the New Territories, which can accommodate 80,000 spectators, was full.

And every horse racing day will sell more than millions of betting lottery tickets, the amount is as high as tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Ordinary people are involved in buying lottery tickets and watching races, while those wealthy businessmen and celebrities breed their own horses and become horse owners of the Jockey Club.

Xia Yu has now become a selection member, and also owns a horse, 100% can let his favorite horse participate in the competition.

Speaking of which, I have to mention the types of members of the Jockey Club.

There are two types of members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. One is for social elites. Just pay for registration, then review the information, and wait in line. According to the current hot trend that everyone is proud of joining the Jockey Club, wait three or four. Years are normal.

This type of member is almost all the upper-middle-class elites in society, only one out of a few hundred people.

The other is inclined to the nature of private clubs. Only those who step into the top of the society are eligible to join, and the procedures for joining are very strict. Only members who have been selected for more than three years are eligible to recommend, and then participate in the assessment to defeat competitors. Get a spot.

There are hundreds of such members in the entire Jockey Club, but there are only 200 selected members, and the rest are ordinary members, but even the qualifications of ordinary members are beyond the reach of the former members.

However, for others, it is very difficult to join the second kind of horse club to become a member.

But for Xia Yu, it's easy. With his current strength and prestige, as long as he wants to enter the Jockey Club, there will definitely be a large number of selected members rushing to become his recommenders, and absolutely no one dares to stand up against his joining. , unless the opponents believe that they can withstand Xia Yu's suppression and revenge.

At this time, although Xia Yu's "Economic Weekly" did not rank him at the top of the rich list, the top bosses all know that what is revealed on the list is only the tip of the iceberg of Xia Yu, and Xia Yu is definitely the top Big guy.

Many people secretly rated his Jiuding Consortium as the No. 1 Chinese consortium. This name spread out from nowhere, and few people objected.

However, Xia Yu, a top-level boss, has been outside the Jockey Club all the time. This is a slap in the face for the board of directors who have been working to expand the influence of the Jockey Club.

Many members are looking forward to Xia Yu's joining, so that they can use this platform to get in touch with Xia Yu.

It was under such circumstances that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong jointly recommended Xia Yu to become a member, and it was a somewhat bad move to become a member in one step, which made everyone agree.

The reality is that.

When the status is not enough, he just squeezes into a circle, and is proud of joining this circle, but he doesn't squeeze in and doesn't talk, and he will make jokes.

When the status is high enough, there is no need to drill your head and squeeze in. The senior circle will be proud of your participation and take the initiative to throw an olive branch.

Becoming a selected member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club is also good for Xia Yu. In addition, at this time he owns two BMWs, so he won't take it on the field to run, leaving Pearl in the dust, and I'm sorry to Bao Yugang and Huo Ying. East's heart.

Therefore, Xia Yu readily accepted this fact.

"Old Bao, Lao Huo, thank you!"

Xia Yu said gratefully.

"By the way, Xia Yu, five days from now will be a large-scale horse race day. At that time, the Jockey Club will hold a welcome ceremony to welcome you to join us. Why don't you also go to the race?"

Bao Yugang suggested, with a glimmer of anticipation in his eyes.

Xia Yu thought about it for a while, and it seemed like a good choice. He had two BMWs in his hands. Of course, he wanted everyone to see it. He also looked forward to the performance of the two beloved horses.

"It's a good idea to sign up two horses together, but I'll have to find two good trainers before that."

Xia Yu thought about it and said.

Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "You don't have to worry about it. We have already selected five very good horse trainers for you. You can pick two tomorrow. Four or five days are enough to run in and play."

"Your service is really thoughtful, it seems that I already knew I would agree."

Xia Yu moved and said.

"Hahaha……"

"Thank you so much. I'll pick two horse trainers tomorrow and take the horses to the Sha Tin Racecourse to get acquainted with the venue."

"By the way, Lao Bao Lao Huo, do you participate?"

Xia Yu asked the two of them.

"Of course I will participate. This is the first large-scale horse racing day in the second half of the year. It would be a pity not to participate."

"Yeah, as far as I know, there are at least 40 Chinese of the same level as us who will participate. With such a grand scene, how can we not participate?"

Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong said successively.

"Then we are competitors. Don't win you with the horse you gave me, that's interesting."

"Haha, come here, I won't lose if I win or lose."

"You really..."

...

After the joke, Li Qian whispered to Xia Yu: "A Yu, since you are going to participate in the competition, then these two horses must be named."

"That's right, take a quick name, you are a great writer, and you are more literate than us, so take a high-level name."

Bao Yugang urged with a smile.

Looking at the expectant eyes of everyone, Xia Yu quietly looked at the two BMWs, and the corners of his mouth twitched.

"Since the two horses are at the level of king horses, they are definitely not worse than the ancient famous horses. Taking a modern name is not worthy of them."

"A jujube red horse with sweat and blood, and a black horse king."

"The red one is called Chitu, and the black one is called Wuxian. I hope they are worthy of these two names."

"Red Rabbit? Wuxian?"

Although Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong both said they were uneducated, they knew about these two famous BMWs.

"Red Rabbit" is the first horse in "Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is known as "Red Rabbit in Horses". It has experienced two masters, "Lu Bu in People" and "Wu Sheng Guan Yu", adding a legend to it. halo.

Not to mention "Wuyu", the overlord of Western Chu's mount was Wuxian horse, he followed Xiang Yu to fight in the south and north, and finally jumped into the river with his master to his death.

At this time, Xia Yu chose names for the two horses, which shows how much he values ​​these two horses.

After all, if he performed badly in the competition, he would definitely make a big joke with such a name. Xia Yu would be embarrassed if he didn't say anything, and the two of them who gave away the horse would also be embarrassed.

However, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are very confident and believe that the horses they gave will not embarrass Xia Yu. After all, they bought these two horses with great effort, and their real worth alone is enough to rank in Xiangjiang. Jockey Club's top three.

This is still the value of winning the championship in the competition. If he wins the championship, his value will skyrocket several times, and he will be first and second.

"Then look forward to five days later, Chitu and Wuxi will be famous in Hong Kong!"

"I am looking forward too!"
