Anyone with common sense about horse racing knows that whether a horse is good or not depends mainly on its past performance, in addition to its condition on the field.
"Black Lightning" is a thoroughbred racehorse from Great Britain. It is completely black and emits a charming oily sheen in the sun, so it is named "Black Lightning".
He is not old, he is less than 2 years old this year. According to the golden age of horse racing from 2 to 6 years old, Black Lightning is a rookie at best. He has always been raised in small farms in captivity and has never run in a big competition.
, even though there are rumors that this horse is very sharp and has good endurance, everyone is still not optimistic about it. After all, racing in a small place and racing at a real racecourse are two different concepts.
Even though three-time jockey champion Smack is blessing this time, many horse racing fans still have a "questioning" attitude towards Black Lightning, believing that the reason why owner Xu Shixun and Xu Sanshao let it compete this time is just to let Black Lightning accumulate experience.
It is simply impossible to win the championship. Therefore, Black Lightning's odds this time have also reached the rare "1 to 3".
"Dear Lei, it seems that your bet this time is very unlucky!" Saipan, the manager of Standard Chartered Bank, said to Lei Luo regretfully while holding a glass of champagne.
The corner of Lei Luo's mouth twitched. He never expected that the horse that Shi Zhijian's "Lao Dou Meng" wanted to bet on was actually this little pony with no experience or qualifications!
Isn’t this seeking death?
One hundred thousand yuan, just wasted!
At this moment, Lei Luo couldn't wait to get back the money he invested.
Not to mention other people, those rich people who followed Lei Luo and invested in Shi Zhijian are all uncertain.
But those who had not invested money before were secretly sighing, thinking they were lucky and had escaped a disaster.
The news spread like wildfire that someone in the VIP room had placed a heavy bet of 200,000 on the debut horse race "Black Lightning".
Needless to say, those horse racing fans laughed at them all. Although most of them were losers in the racecourse, they thought they knew horses and often read horse racing books and studied horse racing. If this horse can win, then they will be damned.
!
Of course, there are also some crazy gamblers who think that this chance of a comeback is rare with odds of three to one. Since some people dare to place a heavy bet of two hundred thousand, why can't they themselves?
Therefore, before the start of the game, another group of lunatics followed Shi Zhijian to crush the "Black Lightning".
For a time, the entire racecourse went crazy.
"I buy Black Lightning!"
"Black Lightning, charge!"
"Whether it's life or death, let's bet on this!"
The colt "Black Lightning", which made its debut, directly became the "highlight" of today's horse racing.
…
In addition to the betting area where some wealthy people are located in the VIP area of the racecourse, there is also an isolated area for horse owners.
According to the regulations of the racecourse, horse owners need to be isolated from other people during the competition to avoid "cheating".
At this moment, several older horse owners in the horse owner's area were gathering together, holding telescopes and talking with each other.
A handsome man in his thirties was leaning lazily on the boss's chair, squinting his eyes, tapping his right hand on the armrest of the chair, and listening to the melodious Cantonese music in his ears.
The famous Cantonese opera singer is called "Xiao Hongxia". This third master Xu specially invited her from Kowloon Huafang with a high salary. One song is 100 yuan. Xiao Hongxia has already sung four songs for this third master Xu.
, excluding venue fees, carriage fees, and a net profit of three hundred!
"Nice singing!"
When the song ended, Xu Sanshao opened his squinted eyes and praised Xiao Hongxia.
Xiao Hongxia held the pipa and bowed slightly towards Mr. Xu, "Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Xu!"
"Although you sing well, you are still a little behind compared to 'Queen of Kowloon' Nie Yongqin!"
Xiao Hongxia's face darkened slightly, and she forced out a smile: "Nie Huakui is well-known, has superb skills, and has many "Uncle and Young Masters" fans to support him. How can I compare to him?"
"Not bad, you are quite self-aware!" Xu Shixun, the third young master, stood up from his seat and stretched. He was wearing a red suit and a blue silk scarf tied around his neck. He was very dazzling and coquettish.
"Now, the reward I promised is quite a lot, go and ask for it from my follower Axiang! Where is Axiang, uh, where did he die?"
Just when Xu Sanshao was about to lose his temper, Axiang, a deer-headed and rat-eyed man, ran over. Before he could reach him, he shouted: "Master, this is bad, something big has happened!"
Xu Sanshao grabbed an ivory Xiangfei fan and hit Axiang directly on the head: "Is it on fire, or is your father dead?"
"It didn't catch on fire, and my father didn't die either! It's your horse, Master. Someone bet 200,000 on it to win!"
"Huh?" Xu Sanshao was stunned.
Even Xiao Hongxia, who was waiting for a reward next to her, was stunned. Although she was a singer and performer, she also knew how inferior the third young master's foal was. A pony that had never participated in a formal competition, there were also people.
Dare to buy?
"You guy, did you hear it wrong?" Xu Sanshao kicked A Xiang on the butt, "If you try to make me happy, I will never let you go!"
"How is that possible? Give me the courage to tell you this nonsense. Someone actually bet 200,000 on our Black Lightning to win!"
Xu Sanshao was stunned for a moment, "Who is it?"
"I don't know, I just know that he is a young man, his surname is Shi, and everyone calls him Mr. Shi!"
"Master Shi?" Mr. Xu shook open the Xiang Concubine's fan, revealing a delicate peony flower. He racked his brains and couldn't think of anyone he knew with the surname Shi.
"Forget it, no matter who dares to win by buying my black lightning like this, he must be my friend Xu! I will definitely buy him a drink when it is over!"
Xu Sanshao Xu Shixun is not joking. This time he let "Black Lightning" compete, not simply to let it accumulate experience, but to hope that it can win the championship and tell everyone that although the horse is small, it can win the championship!
Because Xu Shixun is the third eldest child in the family, with two older brothers. He is thirty years old this year, but he can only help the family take care of some trivial affairs, which makes him very unhappy.
In this horse racing, he is "clearing his mind" and telling everyone that he can do it!
"Since Mr. Shi has bet 200,000, as a horse owner, I can't be stingy - Ah Xiang, follow the bet of 100,000! I also have to have confidence in my horse!"
"Yes!" Axiang nodded and bowed.
…
Xu Sanshao was in high spirits and called the bet of 100,000!
As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the racecourse.
They don't understand the "willfulness" of rich people.
Just throw hundreds of thousands into the water casually!
When Lei Luo heard the news, he was shocked at first, and then he understood the reason. He thought to himself that Xu Sanshao was really a sweetheart, and he didn't bother to inquire carefully about who the bettor was. Was his head wet?
, directly follow the bet of 100,000, quite sharp!
However, Xu Sanshao's status is not trivial. His family is not only a shipping tycoon, but also a banking tycoon, especially HSBC, which is the "leader" among many banks in Hong Kong. The Xu family holds a large share of the stock, and no one dares to do so.
offend.
Even if Lei Luo is the famous Inspector Hua and is not qualified in front of the Xu family, let's forget it. If the old Buddha of the Xu family wants to mess with him, he can kick him out in a minute!
Thinking of this, Lei Luo began to think of a way out. If he lost this time, he would directly push all the consequences on this person named Shi. Even if Xu Sanshao lost money, his anger would not be spread on himself.
Just when Lei Luo and others were planning to shirk responsibility, the horse racing started!
In full view----
I saw the horse "Black Lightning", which was looked down upon by everyone and thought to be a rookie, started to run, but it didn't run very fast and fell directly behind.
Shi Zhijian looked at it and thought, Damn it, did he remember it wrong? He suddenly started sweating profusely!
Lei Luo narrowed his hawk-like eyes and winked at his subordinate Chen Xijiu.
Chen Xijiu understood what it meant------
If you dare to fool Brother Luo, this guy surnamed Shi may not be able to survive today!
