v2 Chapter 643： Jockey Club Member

Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong glanced at each other. The latter motioned to the former and said that Bao Yugang smiled heartily: "You have helped us so many times, and our hearts are also grown. How can we be indifferent, but left thinking. I want to find that you don’t lack anything. I accidentally listened to opera a few months ago and was inspired by the phrase “BMW is a hero since ancient times”. I thought that you would like BMW."

"No, Lao Huo and I will give you a horse. I wish you a horse to be the first, and the horse will be successful!"

"Now that you like these two horses, we can rest assured that we didn't work in vain, haha!"

Huo Yingdong smiled and nodded and said, "That's what I mean with Lao Bao."

Xia Yu shook his head dumbly, but his heart was hot.

"Lao Bao, Lao Huo, I feel your feelings. After so much trouble, I found two horses and gave them to me, and they are so expensive. I feel ashamed!"

Huo Yingdong immediately retorted: "Xia Yu, we should be the ones who are ashamed. These two horses are not worth a lot of money. This is the slightest intention of me and Lao Bao. If you don’t accept it. , This is making us uneasy to sleep!"

Bao Yugang also solemnly said: "Yes, Xia Yu, compared to what you helped us, these two horses are not worth mentioning. If you can value me and Lao Huo, then you should stop turning away, lest you hurt us. Between feelings."

Xia Yu took a deep look at Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong, smiled and shook his head and said with emotion: "Since you are all talking about it, it would be unkind for me to make excuses."

"Then I will accept it, thank you for your kindness!"

As soon as these words came out, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong showed smiles one after another.

"Haha, no thanks, you like it to give us the greatest honor."

"Yes, I will be more stable when I go back to sleep..."

"Hahaha..."

After 　　 laughed, Xia Yu continued to observe the two horses up close, and the more he looked, the more he liked it, the expression on his face was not hidden at all.

Now that these two horses belong to him, his attitude of admiring horses has become different.

"By the way, Xia Yu, I have one more thing to tell you."

Bao Yugang said suddenly.

Xia Yu raised his brows and asked with a little doubt: "What's the matter?"

"I understand that you did not join the Jockey Club, so I made a good suggestion and recommended you jointly with Lao Huo. All members of the Jockey Club Board of Directors have agreed. I will come to select the membership certificate later. In the living room, I will give it to you later. you."

Bao Yugang narrated.

Xia Yu was surprised, touched his chin, and said with a smile: "I remember that to join the Jockey Club, you have to apply first and then find a referee. I skip the process?"

He didn't write an application to join the Jockey Club. Now, after listening to Bao Yugang, he even got the certificate and there are only 200 selected members. This really surprised him.

Huo Yingdong laughed, and said naturally, "Most people naturally follow this process. They have to line up for four to five years, but if you want to do this, the Jockey Club’s sign will be smashed."

"You can join the Jockey Club, but it is the honor of the Jockey Club. When Lao Bao and I recommended it to you, the board of directors didn't know how happy it was."

Bao Yugang nodded and smiled: "Yes, ordinary people are proud of joining the Jockey Club. Now your prestige is unmatched. The Jockey Club is proud of your joining."

"You don't know, you haven't joined the jockey club, and when people asked at a few gatherings, the board of directors couldn't hold back, haha..."

Bao Yugang said, it seemed that the scene at the time appeared before his eyes, and he couldn't help but smile.

Xia Yu smiled. Although Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong were both in favor of him, after thinking about it carefully, it is really possible.

If it is said that in Hong Kong, which company or consortium has the largest capital and most influence, it is definitely not HSBC.

But excluding the Hong Kong government, if any organization or company has the greatest influence on the entire Hong Kong, everyone will say it is the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

was established in 1884. The Hong Kong Jockey Club was originally formed by a group of British people. It is the world's largest speed horse racing organization. It has also been designated by the Hong Kong government as the operator of the Hong Kong gaming industry.

At the same time, it also assists the government in cracking down on illegal gambling. It is the largest non-profit organization in Hong Kong and the largest charity organization in Hong Kong. It can donate more than one billion yuan to charitable causes in Hong Kong every year.

And the Hong Kong Jockey Club now has more than 20,000 members and employs more than 40,000 employees. It has created a large number of joint jobs in catering, entertainment, shopping, etc., and has made a huge contribution to the employment of Xiangjiang.

In 1971, Hong Kong horse racing turned into a formal professional activity. This sport became the largest sporting activity in Hong Kong. For every race, the Shatin Racecourse in the New Territories, which can accommodate 80,000 spectators, is packed.

More than millions of betting lottery tickets are sold every race day, amounting to tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars.

Ordinary people participate in buying lottery tickets and watching competitions, while those wealthy businessmen and celebrities raise their own private horses and become the owners of the horse clubs to participate in the horse club competitions. The atmosphere of comparison is very strong.

Xia Yu is now a selected member, and also has horses, 100% can let his beloved horse participate in the competition.

Speaking of this, I have to mention the types of Jockey Club members.

There are two types of members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. One is for social elites. You only need to pay to register, then review the information, and wait in line. According to the current trend that everyone is proud to join the Jockey Club, wait three or four. Years are normal.

This type of membership is almost all the upper-middle elites in society, only one out of a few hundred people.

The other is inclined to the nature of private clubs. Only at the top of the society can you be eligible to join, and the joining procedures are very strict. Only members who can be selected for more than three years are eligible to recommend and then participate in the assessment to defeat competitors Get a spot.

There are hundreds of members in the entire Jockey Club, but there are only two hundred selected members, and the rest are ordinary members, but even the qualifications of ordinary members are beyond the reach of the former members.

But for others, it is very difficult to join the second type of horse club as a member.

But for Xia Yu, it is easy. With his current strength and reputation, as long as he wants to enter the Jockey Club, there will definitely be a large number of selected members rushing to become his recommenders, and absolutely no one dares to stand up against his joining. , Unless the opponents think they can withstand Xia Yu's suppression and revenge.

At this time, although Xia Yu's "Economic Weekly" did not rank him at the top of the rich list, the top big guys know that only the tip of Xia Yu's iceberg is revealed on the list. Xia Yu is definitely the top. Gangster.

Many people secretly rated his Jiuding Consortium as the No. 1 Chinese Consortium. This name, which had been spread from nowhere, went viral, and few people had any objections.

It is Xia Yu, a top-notch boss, who has always been outside of the Jockey Club. For the board of directors that has been committed to expanding the influence of the Jockey Club, it is simply a blow to them.

Many members are looking forward to Xia Yu's joining, so that they can use this platform to connect with Xia Yu.

It was in this situation that Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong jointly recommended Xia Yu to become a member and became a member of selection in one step, which was a bit bad behavior, and everyone agreed.

This is the reality.

When 　　 is not in position, he just squeezes into a circle, proud to join this circle, but if he doesn’t squeeze in, he will make jokes.

When the position is high enough, there is no need to drill your head and squeeze in. The advanced circles will be proud of your participation and take the initiative to throw an olive branch.

Becoming a selected member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club is also good for Xia Yu. In addition, he has two BMWs at this time. If he doesn't take a run on the field, he will leave the Pearl in dust. I am sorry Bao Yugang and Huo Ying Dong's heart.

Therefore, Xia Yu readily accepted this fact.

"Lao Bao, Lao Huo, thank you!"

Xia Yu said thankfully.

"By the way, Xia Yu, five days later is a big race day. At that time, the Jockey Club will hold a welcome ceremony to welcome you to join, or do you also participate in the race?"

Bao Yugang suggested, a glimmer of expectation flashed in his eyes.

Xia Yu thought for a while. It seemed that it was a good choice. Two BMWs were in hand. Of course, everyone had to be insightful. He also looked forward to the performance of the two horses.

"This is a good idea to register two horses together, but before that I have to find two excellent horse trainers."

Xia Yu thought for a while and said.

Huo Yingdong smiled and said, "Don't worry about that. We have already identified five very good horse trainers for you. Tomorrow you can pick two. Four or five days will be enough to get on the court."

"Your service is so attentive. It seems that I knew I would agree."

Xia Yu said.

"Hahaha..."

"Thank you, tomorrow I will pick two horse trainers, and at the same time I will take the horses to the Sha Tin Racecourse to get familiar with the venue."

"By the way, Lao Bao Lao Huo, do you participate?"

Xia Yu asked the two.

"Of course I participate. This is the first major race day in the second half of the year. It would be a shame not to participate."

"Yes, as far as I know, at least forty Chinese who are at the same level as us will participate. How can we not participate in such a grand scene?"

Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong said one after another.

"Then we are competitors. Don't win you with the horse you gave me. That's interesting."

"Haha, come on, I won't lose anyway, I won or lost."

"You are really..."

……

After the joke, Li Qian whispered to Xia Yu: "Ayu, since you are going to participate in the competition, then the two horses have to be named."

"Yes, you are quick to pick a name, you are a great writer, more educated than us, take a high-level name."

Bao Yugang urged with a smile.

Looking at everyone's expectant gazes, Xia Yu quietly looked at the two BMWs, and the corners of his mouth were curved.

"Since the two horses are of the horse king level, they are definitely not inferior to the ancient famous horses, and a modern name does not match them."

"A maroon red sweaty BMW, and a black horse king."

"The red one is called Chitu, and the black one is Wuli. I hope they are worthy of these two names."

"Red Rabbit? Wu Qi?"

Although Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong both said that they were uneducated, they knew about these two famous BMWs.

"Red Rabbit" is the first horse in "The Romance of the Three Kingdoms". It is also known as "Red Rabbit in the Horse". It has experienced the two masters of "Ren Zhong Lu Bu" and "Wu Sheng Guan Yu", adding to its legend. Halo.

"Wu Qi" is not to mention, the Western Chu Overlord’s mount is the Wu Qi horse, who followed Xiang Yu to fight in the north and south, and finally died after jumping into the river with his master.

At this time, Xia Yu named the two horses, which shows that he valued the two horses.

After all, if he performed poorly during the game, and he still took this name, he would definitely make a big joke. If Xia Yu was ashamed, the two of them would be embarrassed as well.

However, Bao Yugang and Huo Yingdong are very confident, believing that the horses they gave will not make Xia Yu embarrassed. After all, they bought these two horses with great effort. The actual value alone is enough to rank in Xiangjiang. The top three in the Jockey Club.

This is still no match for the value of winning the championship. If you win the championship, your value will soar several times, properly first and second.

"Then look forward to five days later, Chitu and Wu Qi will be famous in Xiangjiang!"

"I am looking forward too!"
