Rebirth of the World’s Richest Man
Chapter 3004: Racecourse
Who is Jiang Xiaobai? The godfather of business in China, the founder of two Fortune 500 companies, is someone who can make the Luo family, an old wealthy family in Xiangjiang, compensate a century-old automobile company with just one name.
How could such a person go to bars and other places to experience the feasting and sensual life? If people want to, it is not an exaggeration to say that they can build one by themselves.
That's not a problem, you still have to take it with you.
What he recommended to Jiang Xiaobai was to go to the horse race, which is a kind of culture on the Xiangjiang side, so Jiang Xiaobai could go there.
Sure enough, after Jiang Xiaobai heard about the horse race, he was really interested.
"race?"
"That's right, horse racing. Tonight happens to be Wednesday. There is a horse racing every Wednesday night." Lin Sheng said with a smile.
The sport of horse racing later developed in Yingguo, and Xiangjiang was naturally influenced by this culture.
Horse racing in Xiangjiang began in 1841 and has a history of 160 years.
"Run as horses, dance as you dance" was the plan I made when I came back.
The "horse runs according to the rules" mentioned here refers to horse racing. Every race day, the Xiangjiang East Rail Line will add a "racecourse station", just like the nine and three quarters platform in Harry Potter, which will only appear for specific groups of people.
The development of the Hong Kong horse racing industry for more than 160 years has cultivated generations of horse people in Hong Kong. Compared with the early days, the number of international horse racing events in Hong Kong has continued to increase. There are various types of betting tickets and flexible gameplay.
And horse racing has become a kind of culture in Xiangjiang.
"You can go and have a look at this." Jiang Xiaobai was also a little moved. In his previous life, he watched horse racing and betting a lot in film and television dramas, and he was always very curious.
I have been to Xiangjiang several times and have not visited it. It just so happens that there is nothing to do tonight. On the day of the horse race, Lin Sheng just mentioned it again, and Jiang Xiaobai also feels that he can go and have a look.
"Okay, let me arrange it. Master, you get in the car. I happen to be the horse owner of the Jockey Club." Lin Sheng said to arrange for Jiang Xiaobai to get in the car, and at the same time he took out his phone and started making a call.
Taking Jiang Xiaobai there today, of course, let Jiang Xiaobai enjoy himself to his heart's content, some daily horse races will definitely not work, if he wants to present Jiang Xiaobai with a wonderful horse race, these good horses will naturally have to go on the field.
The Hong Kong Jockey Club was established in 1884 to manage horse racing affairs, organize a board of directors and establish a membership system. The Xiangjiang Jockey Club is a high-level club with a certain threshold for naturalization. It includes a set of detailed and strict membership system, from member dress code to member rights and so on, all revealing the details of this noble sport.
As for Lin Sheng, he is not only a member of the Jockey Club, but also a horse owner.
Speaking of which, this is also a characteristic of Xiangjiang, and the horse owner culture of Xiangjiang is also unique in the world.
Due to the successful operation of the Xiangjiang Jockey Club, the identity of a horse owner has become a scarce commodity in Xiangjiang.
In other places, as long as you have money, you can buy a horse and you will be the owner. But in Xiangjiang, if you want to be a horse owner, you can't just have money. First of all, to become a member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club, this alone is already very difficult, and it is basically impossible for ordinary people.
But even if you become a member of the Jockey Club, you have to further become a horse owner member to be eligible to own horses. However, the total number of horses in Xiangjiang is fixed every year, so the number of newly purchased horses allocated to each horse owner member every year is also very limited.
And the heirs of an old family like Lin Sheng are not only members and horse owners, but also have several horses in their hands. To make Jiang Xiaobai happy, of course, he must let the best horse in his hand go on the field, and this is not enough , Lin Sheng also plans to invite some friends who are also horse owners to come over, and let the best horses in his hands compete, making this horse race even more exciting.
After Lin Sheng made contact, he got in the car and asked the master to go to the racetrack, and then introduced the horse racing culture of Xiangjiang to Jiang Xiaobai.
In Xiangjiang, there are only three places where foreigners gather, Lan Kwai Fong, Shancheng Building, and the racetrack.
Needless to say, Lan Kwai Fong is just a bar, full of white people, dimly lit, there is not much difference between day and night.
The other one is Shancheng Mansion, who is from Yindu, asking you over and over again if you want to exchange banknotes, and the air is full of the smell of curry.
This last one is the racetrack.
"Master, there are mainly two racecourses here. One is the racecourse and the other is in Sha Tin. There are usually horse races in Happy Valley at night, usually on Wednesday night in Happy Valley and in Sha Tin on Sunday. Sha Tin usually starts at 12:30, with one show every half an hour, and there are 10 to 12 shows a day, while Happy Valley usually starts at night with only eight shows.”
Lin Sheng seemed to really care about horse racing, and he introduced it well.
There used to be old horse fans and morning exercise groups. It was a party for them to gather in Sha Tin to watch morning exercise in the early morning. Now it is rare to see people getting up so early to watch morning exercise; what about the party in Happy Valley on Wednesday? Already no one was there.
Of course, the horse racing culture is engraved in the bones. There are really many people in this racecourse, one by one, and it is very crowded.
However, Lin Sheng is a member and has a private room, so he can watch it in the private room.
But Jiang Xiaobai came here, of course not to watch the horse racing in the private room. Although the private room looks high-end, but I want to feel the horse racing atmosphere here in Xiangjiang, where I can feel it in the private room.
I still have to go to the scene to feel the atmosphere.
Jiang Xiaobai did it as soon as he thought of it. After staying in the private room for a while, he couldn't stay, and said he would go to the scene to see it. Lin Sheng was actually a little worried about Jiang Xiaobai's safety.
After all, in this racecourse, there are all kinds of people, and it is very chaotic and mixed.
However, Jiang Xiaobai insisted on going, and brought bodyguards with him, so there should be no problem. If you want to go, you can go, and Lin Sheng can only agree.
I went to the front stand with Jiang Xiaobai, but I couldn't actually see anything, but the atmosphere couldn't be compared in the box.
After the horses came out of the stall, they galloped quickly to the finish line. This kind of movement drove the atmosphere of the scene, making people feel excited and excited. Lin Sheng introduced several famous horses and horses to Jiang Xiaobai beside Jiang Xiaobai Some rules of some horse racing competitions and the like.
