Rebirth of the Age of Wealth

Chapter 550 Horse Racing

"Good luck!" Zheng Sijing said quickly after hearing what Li Weidong said, and echoed, "Today's weather is really good, neither hot nor cold, and the sun is shining brightly. It should be more suitable for horseback riding!"

Zheng Sijing terminated the inspection last night and flew back to Qizhou from Shanghai overnight. Even at the reception banquet arranged by several important investment companies, he only showed up and left immediately.

The reason for rushing back to Qizhou in such a hurry is that the conversation between Li Weidong and Zou Yi made Zheng Sijing feel the importance and urgency of the matter.

Zheng Sijing's main work scope is in China, and he spends most of his time in China. Naturally, he has a close relationship with Xinsheng Holdings.

Later, he became the vice president of Xinsheng Holdings, and he naturally gathered a group of people around him. This gathering was not enough to form a clique, it was just an unspeakable small faction.

This kind of thing is inevitable in any place and in any organization. As for people, there will always be people who can talk and people who can't. When people who can talk are together, we can't just call them cliques.

And as long as it doesn't go too far, Li Weidong generally won't interfere too much. Let alone such small relationships, even the several big factions in the company, Li Weidong has no intention of talking to.

It would be a miracle if there were no factions in the company. Wherever there are people, there are rivers and lakes, and rivers and lakes have always been about factions!

The conversation between Li Weidong and Zou Yi does not need to be kept secret. This is not the first time Li Weidong has mentioned it, and this matter should also be disseminated and discussed in a small area to let the matter ferment, so that everyone will be mentally prepared when it is actually implemented.

.

With Zheng Sijing’s personal connections in the company, someone would naturally reveal it to Zheng Sijing in an inadvertent way.

How could Zheng Sijing still bother to investigate after knowing this? This matter was related to his status and foothold in the company.

If Jingwei Investment under his name is split into several small companies like Peking Capital, there is no doubt that his voice as the vice president of Xinsheng Holdings will decrease.

Currently, among the company's four vice presidents, only Xu Dehai does not work part-time at a physical subsidiary below, and he is the only vice president whose position in the company is not so stable, or who must rely on Li Weidong's support to have the right to speak.

Xia Guoqiang owns an automobile factory, and now he is talking about annexing a heavy-duty automobile factory. This area is almost his own territory. At least within this sphere of influence, he has a strong voice.

Zou Yi is in charge of Peking Capital and is the actual manager of Ruibos Holdings. He is the spokesperson for Li Weidonghai's overseas enterprises, and the scale of Li Weidong's overseas enterprises is larger than that of domestic enterprises.

Speaking of which, Zou Yi is more like a feudal official, which shows that Li Weidong thinks highly of her. Moreover, she is a lesbian, has senior qualifications, and has a very transcendent status in the company. Even if she loses control of Peking Capital, she still has a certain status.

But the most high-profile among these people is undoubtedly Zheng Sijing. Because Li Weidong himself is in China, the importance of domestically deployed industries to Li Weidong is self-evident.

However, Li Weidong is relatively low-key, so there are many things that need to be revealed, which are usually handed over to Jingwei Investment and Zheng Sijing, and Zheng Sijing has become prosperous in the country because of this.

Therefore, Jingwei Investment is the basis for Zheng Sijing to gain a foothold in front of Li Huidong. Even if it is now divided into three subsidiaries, he is also the general manager and is still under his control.

But now Li Weidong wants to completely separate Jingwei Investments, which will have a moderate impact on Zheng Sijing.

So after getting the news, Zheng Sijing immediately booked a flight back to Qizhou. Of course, he did not hope to persuade Li Weidong to stop this idea.

But he must get first-hand information and understand Li Weidong's true thoughts so that he can be prepared.

Early in the morning, Zheng Sijing estimated the time and went to Li Weidong's house. Unexpectedly, he missed the opportunity. After asking, he found out that Li Weidong had gone riding a horse with his children today.

After hesitating for a while, Zheng Sijing drove over without stopping. Fortunately, he had become a member here some time ago and ordered a set of horse riding equipment, otherwise there would be no excuses for coming.

At this time, the horse manager of the club also said in a timely manner: "Chairman, Mr. Zheng, the horses' temperaments are relatively mild in this weather, which is very suitable for horse racing, and the results will even be better than usual!"

Zheng Sijing also echoed: "So we are at the right time today. The day chosen by the chairman is a good one!"

"Today was not chosen by me, but by my daughter. Stop talking nonsense and hurry in!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

"Chairman, please come in. Let's go to the locker room to change our equipment first. We're all ready!" Manager Ma made an invitation gesture and said.

Accompanied by club staff, several people entered the locker room, changed into breeches, riding boots, and put on helmets, armor, and gloves.

When Li Weidong walked out of the locker room, Li Weihong and the two children had already changed their clothes and armor.

It has to be said that a man relies on his clothes and his horse relies on his saddle. After Li Weihong put on this set of clothes and armor, she really felt dashing and heroic, naturally exuding a kind of confidence.

Li Weidong looked at it and nodded repeatedly. Li Weihong has such temperament and confidence. He has learned these sports in vain. At least he will not become a little woman who depends on men, and even he will have a wonderful life.

Li Weidong rarely praised Li Weihong and said: "Yes, he is decent, he is really a bit like that!"

"What does it mean to look like that? I am a serious student!" Li Weihong said proudly.

She has been in Hong Kong Island for several years. Not only does she study well, but she also has many extracurricular activities. She has to make up for the wasted time and live a full life every day.

Maybe when I was a child, I did a lot of housework and farm work, which helped me develop a good body. I particularly like sports activities and get started quickly.

Li Weidong smiled and said excitedly: "You are so confident, do you dare to run two laps in a while? If you can win, I will give you a good horse?"

"No one is afraid of anyone, but I don't like ordinary horses. Just don't feel any pain for a while!" Li Weihong raised his eyebrows and responded immediately.

Her brother didn't say he wanted her to win, and losing would be a big deal, so there's no way he would be unhappy about it.

"Heartache? Am I that kind of person? Let's wait until you win!" Li Weidong said disdainfully.

Li Qian and Li Rui also put on breeches, riding boots and armor. The smaller clothes looked very cute on them.

"Dad, why are you so slow? We've been waiting for you for a long time?" Li Rui complained immediately when he saw Li Weidong coming out and talking to her aunt. He didn't notice her at all.

"You little heartless child, you will become impatient after a while. Why do you take so long to get you dressed for school in the morning?" Li Weidong pinched his daughter's cheek and said.

"I haven't seen Xiaobai for a long time, she must have missed me!" Li Rui said coquettishly.

"And my Xiaohei!" Li Qian added next to him.

"Then go quickly and see if your black and white evil spirits have grown up!" Li Weidong said, touching the heads of the two children.

The two children's horses, one black and one white, were still foals when they arrived. Li Weidong originally named them Black and White Shuangsha, which is a very majestic name.

However, due to Liu Jinhui's firm opposition, the two children's mount was nicknamed a bandit. How ridiculous!

Later, I asked the two children to name them, and the result was their current names, Xiao Hei and Xiao Bai. After more than a year of feeding, they should now be Da Hei and Da Bai.

I just don’t know if they can get to know their little master after not seeing each other for so many days.

When Li Weidong and others arrived at the racecourse in a light convertible, they saw a dozen horses grazing freely on a large piece of grass inside the track.

Li Weidong's racecourse is not a simple racecourse that is open to tourists to experience the fun of horseback riding, but a racecourse that can be used for competitions. It covers an area of ​​thousands of acres. The main reason is that the land price is cheap. It is not possible to build houses in this place, so the price is naturally greatly reduced.

The competition track is surrounded by a large piece of grass and a small mound made of soil dug out from the foundation. Excellent pasture is planted on it. When these horses let out, they can roam freely on this grass.

Not only can you exercise your leg muscles on it, but you can also lower your head to eat tender grass and regulate your digestive system.

When several people arrived at the venue, the horse manager whistled at the guardrail of the grass field, and a maroon horse began to run towards them, and led the entire herd of horses behind to also run towards them.

"Auntie, the horse in the front belongs to my father. The black horse with the white spot on its forehead is my little black horse!" Li Qian pointed to a black horse in the horse group and showed off to Li Weihong.

"That white horse is my little white horse. It has no other colors at all. It still has the bell I hung around its neck. How come the little white horse has grown so big!" Li Rui also showed off.

"Yes, they are all so beautiful, but it's a pity that my aunt doesn't have her own horse yet, so what should I do?" Li Weihong said with a smile.

"That's not easy. When you win dad, just ask him to give you a horse. Ours is a gift from dad!" Li Rui had already heard the bet that his aunt and dad made just now.

"Well, that's a good idea, let's do it!" Li Weihong looked at Li Weidong and reminded him.

She didn't know how Li Weidong's equestrian skills were, but she knew about this club. It had only been open to the public for more than a year, and Li Weidong didn't have much time to practice. How high could his level be?

"I can't wait!" Li Weidong said with a smile.

In addition to the skills of horse racing, the horse itself is the most important thing. Li Weidong's horse is not a precious Arabian horse, but a domestic Mongolian horse, but it comes from a domestic military horse farm.

More than ten years ago, there was a major disarmament in the country. The worst thing was the cavalry. The entire service basically disappeared, leaving only two symbolic cavalry battalions and a few cavalry companies.

However, as the military horses disappeared, some excellent breeds were retained and taken in by a military horse farm somewhere in the Northeast, and suitable military horses were selected for breeding.

The conditions for selecting horses at the military horse farm are quite strict. Those that are too tall will not be accepted, and those that are too short will not be accepted. Although Li Weidong's overall performance was very good, its size "just happened" to exceed the limit and was eliminated. Finally, it fell into the hands of Li Weidong.

inside.

It is estimated that every man has the dream of being a knight, and Li Weidong is naturally not immune to this. When there was no racecourse, it didn't matter. Now that there is a racecourse, it is natural to have a horse of his own.

Now that I have a racecourse and horses, I have completely realized my grassland and my horses, and I can play with them as I want.

Horses are psychic. Li Weidong has not been here for a while because of the weather, but the maroon horse still recognized Li Weidong through the railing, stretched its neck and licked Li Weidong's hand to show intimacy!

It's just that Li Qian and Li Rui's horses seem to be too young, their memories are not very good, and they are still a little hesitant about their real owners.

Brother and sister Li Qian took out the prepared horse food and attracted the two young black and white horses, hoping to remind them of them.

Li Weihong also picked a horse that he liked, caressed and comforted it affectionately, and whispered to it in a low voice. Soon the chosen horse slowly became smoother.

"I didn't expect Miss Li's horse training skills to be so high. A racer who can communicate with the horse is considered a master!" Ma Ruilong said sincerely from the side.

"It's far behind. It can only be regarded as a beginner. It can't be compared with professional players like Mr. Ma!" Li Weihong said modestly with a smile.

Then Li Weihong got on the horse, got familiar with the horse's temperament on the track, tried to speed up and slow down, and then slowly returned to the starting point.

"Brother, it's almost time. Let's compete. This lap is 1,600 meters. Let's run one lap?" Li Weihong suggested.

"No problem, Lao Zheng, you can come to a game too. There are so many people and it's so lively. Manager Ma will be our referee!" Li Weidong said calmly, winning or losing doesn't matter to him.

"No problem, but we agreed that I have no money, so if I lose, you can't ask me to buy a horse!" Zheng Sijing said jokingly.

He had just heard the brother and sister make a bet. Although Zheng Sijing could probably pay for a horse, the bet was a sign of the close relationship between the brother and sister, and he could not join in the fun.

"See how you are doing this, all the money you earn is given to your wife?" Li Weidong also joked.

Zheng Sijing chuckled, neither admitting nor denying it. Instead, he took out a horse that he liked and turned over.

Li Weidong also got on his horse and said to Ma Ruilong: "Let's start!"

As a whistle sounded, three horses rushed out.

Li Qian and Li Rui, with the help of the staff, rode their own horses and shouted cheers from behind, but the three in front quickly ran away.

The distance of one lap was too short, and it didn’t take long for three people and three horses to appear from behind. Although Li Weihong and Li Weidong were running together, Li Weidong still had a slight advantage by virtue of the horse’s advantage and passed the finish line first.

"Do you accept it or not? Come again if you don't accept it!" Li Weidong said proudly. This feeling of riding a horse is so refreshing.

"The advantage of horses is too obvious and has nothing to do with technology!" Li Weihong said regretfully, obviously unconvinced.

Li Weidong didn't feel there was any shame in RMB players, and still said proudly: "There is no need to be so bitter, but my brother is happy today. Even if you lose, I will still give you a horse!"

A smile appeared on Li Weihong's face, not because she lacked the money to buy a horse, but because she felt that it was a very happy thing to "blackmail" a horse from her brother through such a quarrel.
