Omni Genius
Chapter 943: Racecourse
It didn't take long for Qin Fang, Tang Feifei, Qu Yuancheng and his wife Chen Qi to get together, and then they drove away from Qu's house and headed for their respective destinations.
Naturally, Tang Feifei was with her cousin Chen Qi, and they had a pretty full schedule of activities today, at least much richer than Qin Fang and the others. They probably had to play until seven or eight o'clock in the evening before returning.
Chen Qi is the daughter of the Chen family, one of the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong Island. This is a wealthy family that is not on par with the Qu family. Naturally, the marriage is also for the sake of strong alliances. This is not uncommon among the wealthy families on Hong Kong Island.
In addition, Qin Fang also roughly knows that the Qu family is also related to the other two of the top ten wealthy families, which means that the four largest wealthy families are all related by marriage.
It is very common for the top ten wealthy families to get married to each other, but they are all a combination of interests. Usually, they cooperate with each other and share their interests. Of course, everything is good. If it comes to the time of family life and death, this kind of in-law relationship is actually not reliable at all. .
It's just that this has little to do with Qin Fang, and he doesn't bother to care about it. His surname is Qin, and he has nothing to do with the Qu family...
The Qu family is as rich as a country, and Qin Fang doesn't want a dime from the Qu family. Even if the Qu family goes bankrupt, Qin Fang will not support a dime.
Tang Feifei and the others set off that way, while Qin Fang and Qu Yuancheng went to the racecourse on Hong Kong Island.
Betting on horses is an activity that people on Hong Kong Island have participated in for the longest time, and it is also an activity that many people on Hong Kong Island like very much. In fact, it is just gambling.
Horse betting is the only legal, largest, most far-reaching, and most popular gambling on Hong Kong Island. It has become an indispensable part of the life of Hong Kong Island citizens.
Every horse racing day, rich and powerful businessmen, officials, white-collar workers, rising citizens, and even passers-by from all over the world will flock here to experience the crazy atmosphere on the racecourse and try their luck.
Betting on horses is actually the same as lottery in mainland China. They are both gambling, but in different forms.
Of course, compared to the pitiful winning rewards of the lottery, the return rate of horse betting is pretty good.
The winners will always only occupy 20% of the participants, and the remaining 80% will get nothing even though they gave everything...,
Naturally, the lottery is also like this, and it is even more cheating than this. It has almost become a practice to operate in the dark.
People on Hong Kong Island love to gamble on horses.
This is an indisputable fact. It is said that there is one horse mí out of every three Hong Kong Islanders. There are at least 2 million horse mís in Hong Kong Island, which shows how much this activity is loved and welcomed by Hong Kong Islanders.
It was Qin Fang's first visit to Hong Kong Island, and he had only seen horse betting in movies and TV before, but this time he experienced it himself.
Of course, in fact, everyone who travels to Hong Kong Island can come and participate, the procedures are not very complicated, and everyone can participate in horse racing as much as they want.
There was even a passenger who just bought a bet. He just wanted to experience the atmosphere of the racecourse. He never thought about the meeting, and he was leaving Hong Kong the next day. In the end, he directly won tens of millions of dollars. jackpot...
Of course, this is just an example, the lucky ones in the 20%.
But this has also become an anecdote that many tourists talk about, so if time and conditions permit, many tourists who come to Hong Kong will come to have fun and make a bet.
"Today is the day of the horse race. Horseback riding is definitely not possible. Why don't you go betting on horses? How many hands will you play? If you win, it's yours. If you lose, it's mine..." Qin Fang thought he was going to the racecourse to ride a horse, but he just happened to be in time. On the race day, there will be races all day long, and the racecourse is full of bettors, so it is impossible for them to ride a horse.
"Then let's play a few games...Let's play on our own!"
Since you can't ride a horse, there is no problem with betting on horses.
It's just that Qin Fang was a little depressed. He thought that he could easily find Tu San's whereabouts, so that he could guess what Han Long asked him to do.
But if it is a horse betting, it is obviously impossible to find Tu San out of tens of thousands of people at the racecourse... His plan can only be regarded as a failure.
As for Qu Yuancheng's proposal, it is naturally impossible for Qin Fang to agree. Although Qin Fang's net worth cannot be compared with that of the huge Qu family, it is not short of that money.
In addition, he is not that close to the Qu family, so naturally there is no need for Qu Yuancheng to pay the bill, and it is very clear that these things can be separated...,...
Qu Yuancheng didn't care, didn't say anything, and continued to drive to the racecourse.
Qin Fang and the others went to the Happy Valley Racecourse. In addition, there is another Sha Tin Racecourse on Hong Kong Island. These are the two holy places for horses on Hong Kong Island. All races are held at these two places.
Because it was a race day, the racecourse was quite lively. Although the race was only held in the afternoon, many people came early to observe.
On the racecourse, every horse that is going to compete will come out for training, and every knight will be familiar with some habits of the horse under his crotch, so as to ensure that he can perform at his best during the race.
The level of the knight is an important measure. A good knight can make the horse under his crotch show 200% of its strength, while a poor knight may only let the horse show 30% to 40% of the level...
With such a gap, the result can be imagined.
In fact, the breeds of the horses participating in the competition are not bad, but the state of the horses is a very important factor. Only when the horses are in the best state can they run well.
If it is obvious that the state is not good, no matter how good the level of the knight is, it is impossible to run first...
This is also one of the reasons why the horses came to observe early.
Qin Fang and the others came relatively early, but Qin Fang looked at it with a blink of an eye, good guy, there are at least hundreds of people who came much earlier than them.
On the field, there were already some knights walking around leading the horses at this time, but they didn't ride the horses and galloped immediately, as if they were letting the flatter adapt to the field here...
After a while, a knight got on the horse and began to trot slowly. He trotted round and round without speeding up, but the horse's [athletic] sense of fitness Still clearly visible.
"Interested in horseback riding?"
Qu Yuancheng found that Qin Fang seemed to be quite interested in this, so he asked a question.
"A little interested..."
Qin Fang had no intention of hiding anything, nodded and said.
It would be nonsense to say that they are not interested, horse riding is something that many men like and yearn for.
You must know that when he was still very young, even as a child, boys liked to ride horses to fight. It was just that they were pretending before, but they had never really seen a horse, let alone ride it.
Qin Fang is no exception...
Regardless of how expensive he is now, there are basically not many things he can't afford, but riding a horse... No doubt he really hasn't played it before.
Of course, some of the things he has played, no matter how rich other people are, they will never be able to play in this lifetime, such as... riding a dragon!
Qin Fang played a cameo role in the dragon knight, and that thing is basically the only one in the world. Except for him, Qin Fang, no one has played it.
Although Qin Fang only played once, Xiaolong never came out after that...
"How about... go and play?"
Finding that Qin Fang was really interested, Qu Yuancheng's eyes flickered a few times, and he asked with a smile.
"Huh? Can you?"
Qin Fang was also taken aback, and asked a little strangely.
The horses below are all to participate in the competition. Except for the corresponding knights, only a few dedicated staff can touch them. Others are strictly prohibited from approaching. This is also for the sake of fairness and justice of the competition.
Compared with the black-box operation of the lottery, the fairness of horse betting is still relatively high. "You will know when you go...,"
Qu Yuancheng, on the other hand, smiled. He just muttered about the doctor mysteriously, and immediately led Qin Fang down to the field.
It's just that he didn't go to lead the horses that were about to compete on the field, but went directly to the horse farm behind...
"Actually, many of the top ten wealthy families in Hong Kong Island like to bet on horses. They even bought some very good thoroughbred horses to train themselves. Our fourth son likes to play this. The racecourse placed here only occasionally participates in competitions, and it is usually placed here!"
As if feeling Qin Fang's doubts, Qu Yuancheng simply explained to Qin Chen at this time.
They are also rich, but there are different levels of rich people, and the grades of things they play are also different.
For example, when the domestic rich were playing Haofeng, the foreign rich had long since stopped playing such low-end games, and changed to playing airplanes and cruise ships. Finally, when the domestic rich also started playing airplanes, they I got tired of playing with planes, and some even got tired of playing with cruise ships, and they switched to spaceships. Of course, this may be an exaggeration.
But one thing is still true, that is, the level of playing by the rich abroad is indeed much stronger than that of the upstarts in China.
For example, the Qu family, this is just a wealthy family that is less than a hundred years old, and its playing level is obviously much better than those of the domestic rich.
Luxury cars have long been out of play, even if they are limited editions, they don't pay much attention to them.
The fourth son of the Qu family, Qu Zhenyu's second son, Qu Yuanrui, who is only four or five years older than Qin Fang, likes to bet on horses, and also likes to play horses. He specially spent tens of millions to buy several horses. Purebred Arabian horses.
It just happened to be placed on the side of the Happy Valley Racecourse, and it just came in handy at this time! .
