Chapter 764: Happy Valley

"Chairman." Feng Wei's voice showed a trace of exhaustion.

During this time, the busy release of the conference, her sleep time has been compressed a lot, plus just finished the plane, so the state is a bit wilting.

"Is the plane landing?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile. "Is the road going smoothly?"

"It's very good, on the way back to the farm." Feng Xiao said with a smile, "Ling Yun sent a car to pick up."

"That's good." Xia Ruofei smiled. "There is still something that needs you to follow up."

Feng Wei joked: "You big capitalist is too exploited too! I just finished the press conference, people have not returned to the company! And began to apportion work..."

"Hey, who makes you strong?" Xia Ruofei laughed.

Then, he briefly talked with Feng Xiao about the morning talks with the old Black.

After listening to Feng Wei, he couldn’t help but say with surprise: "The chairman, only half a day, you talked about such a big business? Yes!"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help but rolled his eyes and said, "Do you really be the chairman of this board? Is it a dry meal?"

Feng Wei ate and smiled: "Who makes you always love you?"

"I was doing all the work for you at the auction yesterday, isn't it enough?" Xia Ruofei said depressedly.

"That is a special case!" Feng Wei said mercilessly. "Would you like me to take a long vacation, do you feel the taste of the company's general manager?"

When Xia Ruofei thought of those cumbersome daily management affairs, he couldn't help but burst into a big head. He quickly said: "Don't stop, you still have to stick to your post! Now the company is developing at a high speed, and the manpower is seriously insufficient. You can't leave it! Waiting for a while, everything is fine. Stabilize, I will give you a holiday! Let you travel abroad!"

Feng Wei said with a grin: "I know that the labor force is being squeezed..."

Xia Ruofei smiled a bit and then said: "Speaking of this matter, I feel that the company's structure is not perfect yet. The problem of staff shortage has not been solved very well. After I come back, we will study it again and need to enrich it. Some high-level management comes in, and it is better to do some talent reserve. In the next step, our company will not expand slowly..."

"I know that I have been thinking about this issue." Feng Wei said, "I am looking for a rational idea, first write something for you to see!"

"Well, you have worked hard for Feng!" Xia Ruofei said, this time he did not ridicule, the tone is very sincere.

"You know it..." Feng Xiao said with a smile in his eyes.

Then the two of them chatted back to the topic.

"Feng, the people of the Black Group should go to Sanshan in two days. They are more anxious." Xia Ruofei said, "When you are responsible for the contact, the main ones are..."

"Chairman, you wait, I will remember." Feng Wei said.

There was a lot of noise in the mobile phone. It should be that Feng Wei was looking for a book.

"Okay, let's talk!" Feng Wei said quickly.

"The core is the conditions that I talked to the old Black, I can't make any discounts, the premium is 10%, the purchase of the bottom of the next year, the sale is not allowed, and the things related to George Black must be written into the agreement, as an agreement. Prerequisites for the entry into force." Xia Ruofei said.

Feng Xiaofei quickly recorded it and said: "I have remembered these, what else?"

"They should ask for a confidentiality agreement, mainly George Black. They can't afford to lose this person." Xia Ruofei said, "I have already promised this, but for the sake of confidentiality, you should not take the team to follow up on this matter. It’s up to you! Anyway, it’s not a difficult negotiation.”

"Understand!" said Feng Wei.

"There is the issue of confidentiality. Let's sign the agreement. The contents of the acquisition agreement, especially the regulations, should not be revealed a little bit, or you can face yourself." Xia Ruofei said.

"Well, don't worry! I know how important it is. I have gone through a special process for this agreement. I don't have to file a record at the company. I will rent a safe at the bank to store it," Feng said.

"This is the best." Xia Ruofei said, "Also, although it is a long-term supply agreement, there is still a time limit. You can talk about it for three or five years. I will give you full autonomy."

Anyway, the acquisition agreement is priced according to the standard of the auction price of the year. If the auction price of the year is lower than the previous year, and the price can be guaranteed by the previous year's standard, Xia Ruofei is not too concerned about the time limit.

But it is better to be less natural. Anyway, Taoyuan truffles are not sold at all. There is no contract restriction. If you are not happy with the Black Group, you can terminate it at any time.

Of course, the Black Group definitely wants to sign a long-term contract. After all, it pays such a big price. Although George Black is a loser, after all, it is a family relationship. Old Black will give him a glimpse of it, just exchange for three or five. Year's contract, it is estimated that they are not easy to accept.

Just look at how Feng Wei talked.

Feng Wei said calmly: "I understand that I will report to you at any time during the negotiation process."

"Well! Take a good rest for two days after you go back! You are really tired during this time, pay attention to your body." Xia Ruofei said.

Feng Xiao’s heart was warm and gently said: “I know...”

If it is normal, Feng Wei will not have to ridicule a few words, how many things does the company have to rest? However, after listening to Xia Ruofei's ordinary words, there was a warm current in her heart, and the words changed.

Not long after Feng Yan had finished the call, Ma Xiong personally went to the presidential suite to visit.

"Xia Sheng, thank you for giving me this face!" Ma Xiong said as soon as he met.

Xia Ruofei knew that he was talking about the old Black, and he said with a faint smile: "Mr. Ma Lao, you are talking, doing business! Who can't go with the money? Besides, I have a holiday with George Black, they can handle George inside. Black is also sincere."

"Haha! Anyway, you are giving me Ma Xiong's face, I know what I have!" Ma Xiong said, "Old Black just thanked me with great strength!"

"Don't say this, let's talk about it, don't need to be so outside." Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

"That's it!" Ma Xiong said with a smile. "Is there a horse racing tonight. If there is nothing in the afternoon, go to the Happy Valley with me. Guo Dong, I called me early in the morning!"

"Well! The guest will follow the Lord!" Xia Ruofei said.

The horse racing culture on Hong Kong Island is very popular. It has formed a complete industrial chain, auction, training, transportation, veterinary, betting, etc. Of course, this huge industry has also supported a large number of media: horse racing, broadcasting, major newspapers. The Ma Jing, behind a large group of professional horse analysts and commentators.

Xia Ruofei has heard about this. Since there is an opportunity today, I want to see and see.

Ma Xiong said: "Let's leave at five o'clock, you have a rest in the afternoon."

"Well, listen to your arrangements!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Ma Xiong also talked with Xia Ruofei a few words, and then left without saying goodbye.

He did not go home and opened a luxury suite directly at the hotel to rest.

At five o'clock, Xia Ruofei and Ma Xiong took his extended Bentley to the Hong Kong Island Happy Valley.

A place like the racecourse is not suitable for taking children, so this time Huanhuan did not come, and Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin did not follow the fun.

Happy Valley is located in the southeast of Wanchai District. The first racecourse on Hong Kong Island was built here. As early as 1846, horse racing was held here.

On the way, Ma Xiong also introduced Xia Ruofei's horse racing culture and the history of the Happy Valley horse race to Xia Ruofei. Xia Ruofei also felt a lot of insight after listening.

When the night fell, they had already arrived at the Happy Valley Racecourse.

The richest man like Ma Xiong is naturally a member of the Jockey Club. Their car is directly driven to the member-only parking area. It is not necessary to walk around half of the racecourse to reach the entrance like a normal audience.

Guo Hongjiang is a director of the Jockey Club. Naturally, he has an independent box at the racecourse and is also an excellent first-class box.

However, Ma Xiong personally came to join, and also took Xia Ruofei who Guo Guojiang wanted to make a deliberate connection, so he did not wait for the big box in the box, but personally went to the member parking area to greet.

"Ma Dong, Mr. Xia, welcome!" Guo Hongjiang said with a warm smile on his face.

"Guo Dong personally greeted, it seems that Xia Sheng's face is big!" Ma Xiong joked.

"Mr. Ma Lao, are you not going to be my army?" Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly. "Guo Dong is here to pick you up. How can a younger generation dare to work Guo Dong?"

Guo Hongjiang said with a smile: "The two are my guests! Come here, please upstairs!"

The members' boxes are on the second floor of the grandstand. There is a direct staircase next to the member's parking lot. A few steps will come.

The spacious box is filled with soft and comfortable sofas. The direction facing the racecourse is a full-faced floor-to-ceiling glass that clearly sees the entire racecourse.

Xia Ruofei saw that there were already many people in the ordinary stands downstairs. What is interesting is that there are not many young people in the racecourse, most of them are middle-aged people, there are some elderly people, and almost all of them have a mantra, most of them. People are immersed in research and rarely communicate with people nearby.

Needless to say, the majority of the gambling horses in the audience.

I can see that the gambling of Hong Kong Islanders is still very heavy.

Guo Hongjiang asked with a smile: "Mr. Xia should be the first time to the racecourse?"

Xia Ruofei took his eyes back from the stands and smiled and nodded and said, "Yes! Guo Dong, is there a long time since the start of the game? I think the attendance at this horse farm is already very high!"

"Gambling horses have become a part of the daily life of many Hong Kong Islanders." Guo Hongjiang said with a smile. "The weekly night games on Happy Valley are full of scenes. There are still many people who have not had time to enter." !"

Ma Xiong said with emotion: "I used to watch horse racing in the UK. The atmosphere is very different from our Hong Kong Island!"

“Oh?” Xia Ruofei said with great interest, “Mr. Ma Lao told me?”

Ma Xiong said: "In the UK, horse racing is also a culture. For horse fans in these countries, watching horse racing on the spot is more a chance for friends to gather, it is a kind of social entertainment, so they look at the scene. Most of the horses will be worn more formally. During the game, they will also drink and chat. It is common for a young man to have a picnic on the grass in the racecourse. As for the bet, it is just a dispensable episode."

Speaking of this, Ma Xiong also glanced at the audience in the stands who were burying their heads to study the Ma Jing. They smiled and shook their heads and said: "After the movement spread to Hong Kong Island, it feels like a taste. Simply put, it is a gamble and a light horse. Everyone is right. The horse racing itself cannot be loved at all. The so-called horse racing culture is better than a gambling horse culture. It can also be put into the racecourse when wearing a horse, and basically it is all about studying the horses and occasionally communicating with the people nearby. It’s also three words that don’t leave gambling...”

Guo Hongjiang said with a smile: "Ma Dong, gambling horse culture is also a culture!"

Ma Xiong said: "As a businessman, gambling is too heavy."

Guo Hongjiang laughed and said: "Ma Dong, you are not like Hong Kong Island!"

Then Guo Hongjiang said to Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Xia, you said that there are several people on Hong Kong Island who do not like to bet on horses? The whole local Hong Kong Island bet size was about 180 billion Hong Kong dollars in the previous year, of which about 100 billion Hong Kong dollars were horse racing bets. However, Ma Dong, the veteran Hong Kong Island tycoon, does not like to bet on horses at all. He is not interested in becoming a director of the Jockey Club. It is also that this club member is also forced to join him. In fact, he rarely comes to the racecourse. ""

"Personal interests are different and can be understood." Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Ma Xiong also laughed and laughed and said: "It may be that I am old and mentally rigid! Xia Sheng, the first time you look at horse racing, you can buy a few notes to play, right is a fun, as long as you don't indulge."

Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said: "I am not very interested in gambling. Today is to see the excitement."

Although Ma Xiong said that he does not like to bet on horses, as a Hong Kong Islander, the understanding of betting horses is naturally very deep. He smiled and said: "If you really want to buy a few notes today, you should give Guo Dong a favor. ”

"Oh? How do you say this?" Xia Ruofei asked curiously.

Guo Hongjiang said with a smile: "I still want to say it myself! One of the horses participating in the competition tonight is mine."

Ma Xiong took the remark and said: "Xia Sheng, Guo Dong's horse is a champion horse! I have won the Asian championship! It is also a big favourite tonight!"

“Is it?” Xia Ruofei’s eyes fell on the electronic display inside the box.

Here are the horses that are participating tonight, and there are real-time odds next to them.

The calculation of the odds of horse racing is very complicated, and there are various kinds of gameplay. However, the general calculation principle is to add all the bets of the people and distribute them to the people who buy them. This ratio is the odds. Of course, the total amount of the bets is deducted. A certain percentage of taxes will be distributed afterwards.

Popular horses have a large amount of bets, and the odds are naturally low. Relatively speaking, the odds of the unpopular horses are high, and of course the risks are high.

The odds are based on the real-time variation of each horse's bet amount. The odds will be fixed until the game is closed and the bet is no longer accepted.

After Xia Ruofei glanced at it, he smiled and asked: "So, this ‘Hong Kong Island Star’ is Guo Dong’s love horse?”

Ma Xiong smiled and said: "See it? The odds are much lower than other horses. Everyone is optimistic that this horse will win the championship tonight! Xia Sheng, Guo Dong, the 'Hong Kong Island Star' when buying It cost more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, but in the past six months, I have won a lot of competitions. The money to buy horses should have been earned back!"
