The first thousand two hundred and seventeen chapters betting on horses (three)
Chapter 1,217 Horse Racing (3)
The reception work for Zhuang Rui and others in Macau was done by the fourth wife's staff. As soon as they got off the cruise ship, they were picked up by car in front of a large building complex.
Since the new company is about to open, the fourth wife has a lot to do, but the person who receives Zhuang Rui is also a vice president of the company, so the standard is not low.
"Mr. Zhuang, Mr. Qin, this is the company's property. Please take a look. If you are not satisfied with anything, please tell us to correct it. By the way, there are two special cars below. Wherever you want to go, just give the driver
Just say it once..."
As Chen Xiaojun spoke, he secretly looked at the young man in front of him. He had worked in major casinos abroad and in Macau. He was considered a veteran in the gambling industry. Last year, his fourth wife hired him into his own company with a high salary.
Of course Chen Xiaojun was somewhat curious about Zhuang Rui, who had suddenly become famous in the gambling industry in recent years. He also knew that Zhuang Rui was one of the company's bosses, so his attitude was very respectful.
"Mr. Chen, don't bother me. It's nice here. I didn't expect the fourth wife to be so generous..."
Zhuang Rui fell in love with this place when he came in just now. This building is not in the center of the city, but is built by the sea. It is surrounded by various tropical plants and the surrounding environment is very beautiful.
The entire building is divided into three areas. The front is a two-story hotel-style building. The first, second and third floors are casinos. Above are nightclubs and sauna entertainment areas. Above that are some luxury rooms.
It can be said that as long as you stay here, you can basically enjoy all the services you can imagine.
Some friends may say, if you build a casino on a seaside where birds don’t lay eggs, which customer would be so lazy that they would come to gamble from afar?
In fact, for today's casinos, geographical location is no longer an advantage, because casinos have luxury buses for attracting tourists at ports, terminals and even airports, and all of them are free to use, allowing guests to be brought directly into the casino.
There are even casinos on some small islands around Macau, and helicopters transport guests to and from them every day. In Macau, not even God can stop gambling games.
Behind the hotel-style casino, in the middle area of the building complex, is a club, which implements membership management and organizes various gambling games for high-rollers from all over the world.
For the safety of these people, the security in this area is very tight, and there is also a heliport that allows guests to enter here directly.
As for the third subdivision, it is close to the seaside. This is a seaside cliff with a height of more than 30 meters. Three extremely exquisite small villas are built on the cliff.
Although each villa is not very big, it blends in with the surrounding environment. It can be seen that the builders spent a lot of effort on the shape of the villa.
After entering the villa, Zhuang Rui discovered that these villas were all built with high-quality wood and were not painted with any modern chemical paints. The whole room exuded a unique fragrance of vegetation.
Standing on the second floor of the villa, you can clearly hear the sound of the waves, as well as the beautiful scenery of the waves hitting the cliffs, stirring up layers of water. The slightly intoxicating sea breeze blows, and the whole person feels refreshed from the inside out.
.
"It's really good. If you can live here for a long time, people's hearts will become very pure..."
Zhuang Rui looked at the sea view and thought of his island in his mind. He wondered which one would be more beautiful between the scenery there and the scenery in front of him?
Mr. Chen, who led Zhuang Rui into the villa, heard what he said and said with a smile: "Mr. Zhuang, the fourth wife once said that one of the three villas here is yours..."
"Me? Haha, let's forget it. I'm used to the seasonal changes in the mainland. If I come to Guangdong to live for a long time, I will definitely not be able to adapt..."
Zhuang Rui smiled when he heard this, and then said: "Besides, after a while, I will have nothing to do with the company. It is not suitable for me to ask for this house. Forget it, I will talk to my fourth wife later..."
Mr. Chen was a very calm man. Although he was surprised when he heard Zhuang Rui's words, he didn't say anything and took Zhuang Rui to introduce him again.
After settling in with his family, Zhuang Rui invited Mr. Chen to sit in the living room. He also wanted to ask about some specifics about horse racing and the arrangements for the past few days.
"These three villas, as well as the casino clubs in front, require a total investment of a lot of money, right?"
Although Zhuang Rui is one of the company's major shareholders, he has never exercised his rights as a shareholder. He has never even read the company's financial statements carefully. His understanding of the company is definitely not as good as that of Mr. Chen in front of him.
"Mr. Zhuang, these three villas are all built with the best Canadian logs. Each one costs about one million U.S. dollars. As for the hotel and casino in front, the total investment is about several billion U.S. dollars.
Bar……"
Chen Xiaojun is just the manager of the casino and is not very clear about the cost of building this place. Of course, these alone are enough to make Zhuang Rui speechless. He has thrown dozens of dollars into it before even earning a penny.
Billion dollars?
I am afraid that in the world, apart from arms dealers, only the gambling industry has such courage, because wherever there are people, there will be gambling. As long as it is operated properly, billions of dollars of investment can be achieved in just a few years.
Earn it back, you know, the profits generated by the gambling industry are as high as hundreds of billions of dollars every year.
However, Zhuang Rui does not regret his choice at all. He does not want to be tainted in this industry. No matter how great the benefits are, Zhuang Rui will not hesitate at all.
"Mr. Chen, how are the horse racing arrangements for the day after tomorrow? At which track will my horse run? What does the organizer think of my request?"
Different from naked gambling, I went to Hong Kong's Happy Valley to watch horse racing the day before yesterday. The speed competition fascinated Zhuang Rui, so he was also looking forward to the weekend's race.
Moreover, Zhuang Rui also made a request, that is, he wants to let Zhui Feng race twice in the weekend race. This has never been done before in the horse racing world. Zhuang Rui doesn't know whether the big guys on the Jockey Club's board of directors will do it.
promise?
"Mr. Zhuang, I was just about to tell you about this matter. The Fourth Wife asked me to tell you that your request has been granted," Mr. Chen replied.
Zhuang Rui was overjoyed when he heard this and asked: "Oh? How are the games arranged?"
"Mr. Zhuang, in order for your horse to get enough rest, the organizing committee has also made some changes to the schedule. Your horse will race in the second and last races, so as to ensure that it can get more time.
Break time……"
"Huh? Then why isn't it the first game?" Zhuang Rui has some doubts. A game is basically separated by nearly 30 minutes. An earlier game means an extra 30 minutes.
Chen Xiaojun laughed when he heard this: "Mr. Zhuang, it's like this. The first race is a back-up race, and the horses participating are not very famous, so..."
After listening to Chen Xiaojun's explanation, Zhuang Rui finally understood that horse racing and some other human competitive events were somewhat similar.
Just like a world boxing championship, usually before the two boxing champions compete, there will be one or two back-up matches, where some not-so-famous fighters are invited to perform for everyone.
Zhuang Rui nodded and said: "Okay, I will take Zhui Feng there tomorrow to get used to the venue first. You can make arrangements then..."
After Chen Xiaojun agreed, he said goodbye. The company was about to open, and he was also very busy. If he hadn't turned off his mobile phone when he received Zhuang Rui just now, he might not have even had time to talk to Zhuang Rui before.
…
The two most developed industries in Macau are naturally gambling and pornography. Zhuang Rui had no interest in either of them. He returned to the cruise ship early the next morning and was going to take Zhui Feng to the venue used for the competition to get used to it.
In fact, the more important thing is that Zhuang Rui has not had the opportunity to ride Zhuifeng for several days and enjoy the feeling of speed. Now that he has the conditions, of course he will go for a lap.
Under the leadership of Mr. Chen, Zhuang Rui and his group drove to the Macau Racecourse. Before they got off the car, Zhuang Rui saw an Erawan Buddha in the square outside the racecourse.
"The Cantonese people are really superstitious..."
Due to his professional relationship, Zhuang Rui is relatively proficient in Buddhism and Taoism. He knows that in Southeast Asia, especially Thailand, the Erawan Buddha is considered to be a god with boundless power and control over the glory and wealth of the world. It can be seen on many occasions.
arrive.
"Haha, Macau specially invited this from Thailand. It is said that it cost a lot of money..." Chen Xiaojun explained to Zhuang Rui with a smile and drove the car into the racecourse.
The predecessor of the Macau Racecourse was originally a horse racing track. It was converted into a flat horse racing venue in 1987. Although it is not as good as Hong Kong's racecourses, the track and various facilities have reached international standards.
After entering the racecourse and waiting for a while, the special vehicle used to carry Zhui Feng also drove in. After taking Zhui Feng out of the car, Zhuang Rui and his party arrived at the track of the racecourse.
A standard international racecourse not only has a few tracks, but also has a complete horse training venue. At this time, many horses are being trained here to prepare for tomorrow's competition.
As soon as Zhuang Rui and his team entered the venue, they attracted a lot of attention. There was no way, Zhui Feng's appearance was really cool. In terms of height alone, he was taller than those tall thoroughbred horses.
Nearly twenty or thirty centimeters.
"Xiao Zhuang, you're here too. Tsk tsk, this is such a good horse. It's a pity that the training time is too late..."
What Zhuang Rui didn't expect was that Dr. Shu Wen was also at the racecourse at this moment. His usual appearance was very different in suits and leather shoes. The gray-haired Shu Wen wore a knight's uniform and looked like a man from the western United States.
