Li Chengshun was a little curious. If everyone bet in the casino, and if the Zheng family's horse did not win the first place, wouldn't it be a loss of more than one billion, which is not a small sum.
The Zheng family's enterprise is indeed worth hundreds of billions, but it is company property, and this horse racing meeting is private. All gambling funds can only use the Zheng family's personal money. At that time, won't they have to choose to sell the company's shares?
The most important thing is, will Mr. Zheng allow this?
"The Zheng family has confirmed that there is no problem. Although the old man of the Zheng family did not come in person, the current head of the Zheng family, Mr. Zheng's son Zheng Shuming, was present. The bet and odds were said by him personally.
Don’t be afraid of going back on your word.”
After hearing Huo Laosan's explanation, Li Chengshun knew better. It seemed that the Zheng family was full of confidence in their horse.
"Which horse is the Zheng family this year?"
"I just saw that red horse with the horse trainer. Although this horse is good, its speed is not top-notch. It just ran a test run. According to my horse trainer's judgment, it should not be able to outrun your horse."
Like chasing the wind."
Huo Laosan pointed at the red horse on the field, and then continued: "So I came here this time to tell you that I am going to bet 10 million on your horse Chasing the Wind to win first place."
Ten million is nothing to a rich third generation like Huo Laosan, but if the odds are ten times higher, it would be 100 million. For a person like Huo Laosan who has no actual power in the family and only relies on annual dividends
Even so, it is a huge amount.
"Okay, if you stake 10 million, I'll stake 10 million too. Sister, do you want to stake it?"
"I'll forget it. Since the Zheng family dares to offer such odds, they must be certain. Since the situation is unclear, I don't plan to bet, and you should bet less."
As the granddaughter of the Li family, Li Weiwei also graduated from a famous foreign university, and her IQ goes without saying. The more likely a bet like this is to win, the more likely it is that it will be lost.
This is the same reason that those who buy are not good at selling, and those who gamble will never win compared to those who are the banker.
"Sister, what are you afraid of? It's not like you don't know Zhui Feng's strength. Besides, although this time the Jockey Club is organized by the Zheng family, with so many of us here, the Zheng family doesn't dare to do anything. After all,
There are also people from our family watching below."
Every circle has its own rules. If the top aristocratic families in Xiangjiang like the Li family and the others do something strange at this horse racing meeting, they will be completely abandoned and disgusted by other top aristocratic families, and this price is not the price of the Zheng family.
The home can afford it.
Several major families in Xiangjiang cover almost all industries in Xiangjiang. If one family is disliked by other aristocratic families, it will be difficult to move forward in business. This is worse than losing more than a billion in horse racing.
"Brother Fang, where are you?"
Seeing that his sister still had no intention of betting, Li Chengshun did not insist. Instead, he turned his attention to Fang Ming and Fang Yu'er. In his opinion, the Zheng family was taking the initiative to give money. Such a good thing would naturally attract the eldest brother Shang and his siblings.
together.
"Sister, are you interested in playing?"
Fang Ming withdrew his eyes from the red flattery and looked at his sister with a deep look. Fang Yu'er also heard the implication of her brother's words, that is, this horse racing may not be as simple as it seems on the surface.
.
However, with her brother here, Fang Yu'er knew that as long as she followed him, it would be right.
Money, no one will find it too little. The most important thing is that the Xiao family has just risen and has a lot of money to spend.
Don't think that cultivating families don't have to spend money. The amount of money spent by cultivating families is a terrifying figure. It's just that they use money in exchange for some cultivation resources.
Money cannot buy some precious cultivation resources and cultivation secrets, but ordinary cultivation resources can still be bought, and for the Xiao family, what they lack now is precisely these ordinary cultivation resources.
"Brother, my mother gave me a bank card a few days ago, saying it was New Year's money for me, so I'll pay it all."
Fang Yu'er took out a bank card from her bag. Seeing the bank card, Huo Laosan was a little disdainful. How much can the elders give to them as a gift? Even for a big family like their Huo family, the New Year's gift is only
One or two million.
"Okay, let's put it all in. Let's see how much money is in the card first."
Naturally, the Jockey Club has a POS machine, and it is a bank-specific POS machine that allows you to see the balance. When I saw the balance number on the POS machine, a look of surprise appeared on my face.
"Five...five hundred million?"
That string of numbers made Li Chengshun a little confused, and Huo Laosan on the side was even more dumbfounded. He gave a lucky money during the New Year, and it actually amounted to 500 million. How wealthy a family must be to do this, at least his family couldn't do it.
Yes, but in this world, there are only a few families that are wealthier than the Huo family. I have never heard of the Fang family.
"Well...Sister Yu'er, your amount is a bit too big, it has exceeded the upper limit."
"It's okay. Why don't you go ask the Zheng family and see if they are willing to accept the bet. If not, we can lower the bet."
Fang Ming looked at Li Chengshun with a smile, but before Li Chengshun could answer, Huo Laosan hurriedly ran towards the stands on the other side. After a while, a group of people came over behind him.
"No problem, the Zheng family picked up."
Mr. Huo and the other three shouted before they arrived. For wealthy young men like them, ordinary things are no longer of interest to them, but a 500 million gamble is still very exciting. After all, the odds are
If you win, it will be 5 billion.
"It was Mr. Fang from the Mainland who placed the bet, right? Our Zheng family took it. My name is Zheng Shuming."
Behind Huo Laosan is a middle-aged man wearing glasses, who is also the successor of the Zheng family enterprise and has a net worth of tens of billions.
"Hello Mr. Zheng, I just heard that there is a gambling game, so I plan to play it. Mr. Zheng should not mind."
"Of course I don't mind. Mr. Fang is betting on the Li family's horse Chai Feng."
In Zheng Shuming's view, the young man in front of him came from the Mainland, but he had never heard of it, so he was probably a private son of an upper-class family in the Mainland. This kind of private son had little status, but a lot of money.
, so I also like to show off my wealth.
Because they can only find a sense of existence by showing off their wealth.
Zheng Shuming has seen many people like this, especially more than ten years ago, there were a group of private families from the mainland in Xiangjiang who spent extravagantly in Xiangjiang and vented their dissatisfaction with the family by squandering and showing off their wealth.
"No, I didn't buy the Li family's horse Chai Feng. I chose the black horse No. 5."
After hearing Fang Ming's words, many people looked at the horse pen No. 5, where there was a black horse of average size that was grazing.
Seeing this horse, many people had doubts on their faces. The people present knew something about horses, and they even knew that all racehorses were not allowed to eat one hour before the race, because horses can only eat when they are empty stomach.
Running faster is just like people. Once the stomach is full, not to mention the increased weight, it is easy for the stomach to turn over while running.
"I remember correctly this horse. It seems to be a horse from the Zhang family."
"Yes, the old man of the Zhang family loves horses very much. He is almost a horse fanatic. Only his horses will be fed before the competition."
Knowing that Fang Ming had chosen the Zhang family's horse, Li Chengshun became a little anxious and quickly tried to persuade him: "Brother Fang, the Zhang family has brought horses to participate in every horse race, but the best result is the third from the bottom."
If it had been anyone else, Li Chengshun would have called him a fool. Isn't this a clear gift to the Zheng family?
But when he thought about the possibility that this uncle in front of him would be his in the future, it was naturally impossible for him to see his uncle being cheated. Of course, if Li Chengshun knew that his so-called uncle was just his own wishful thinking,
I don’t know if I will dissuade him.
In the crowd, Zheng Shuming's eyes under his glasses were a little surprised. Then he glanced in one direction, but quickly looked back, with a smile on his face again, and said: "Mr. Fang has a sharp eye, so I wish you all the best in advance to Mr. Fang."
The flag has been won."
Hearing Zheng Shuming's words, everyone present curled their lips and said he was victorious. Zheng Shuming was really hypocritical. But if they were facing someone rushing to give away money, and they still gave away 500 million, they would probably laugh more than
Zheng Shuming must still be happy.
After the bet was reached, Zheng Shuming did not let Fang Ming transfer the money from his bank card first. With so many people testifying, he was not afraid of Fang Ming's default.
Fang Ming had placed his bets, and others also began to place bets. Most of them bet on Zhuifeng of the Li family. The bets on Zhuifeng had also reached 200 million. In addition, there were other scattered bets.
The total bets on other horses are also 50 million.
Seven hundred and five million, just when everyone thought the amount of the bet had been settled, a delicate and beautiful young woman walked over not far away.
"Uncle Zheng, since everyone is in such high spirits, let me join in the fun, but I don't have that much money, so I'll bet 100 million, and I'll bet number 5 too."
The young woman's words stunned everyone present, especially the young men who couldn't help but speak to dissuade her.
"Meiqi, you are crazy."
"Meiqi, we are targeting the first place, not the last place."
"It's better to overpower the Zhang family's horse than our horse."
The reason why these young people are eager to dissuade her is because the young woman in front of them has an unusual background. The granddaughter of the old man of the Guo family in Xiangjiang is the object of countless young talents.
Guo Meiqi and Li Weiwei are known as the two flowers of Hong Kong, but Li Weiwei's personality is too cold, so in comparison, Guo Meiqi is more popular with these young men.
"I believe in Mr. Fang's vision. The worst case scenario is losing 100 million. It's fine."
Hearing Guo Meiqi's words, Fang Yuer's eyes were curiously focused on Guo Meiqi and her brother. Could it be that her brother knew her and what was the story between them?
Li Weiwei, on the other hand, also spoke at this time, "I will also bet 100 million on our Li family's Zhui Feng."
Li Weiwei's words caused the atmosphere at the scene to be silent for a few seconds. Everyone knew that this time the two flowers of Hong Kong were matched up.
ps: I wish you all a happy New Year and apologize by the way. I made a mistake regarding Ling Wei's return to the capital. Ahem, let's just treat him as the Miao border and let him come back to celebrate the Spring Festival. I posted that on a certain sound and the groom.
And the WeChat official account will send you a New Year greeting video, just search for the pen name.
