Rebirth: The Era of Hong Kong Tycoon

Chapter 2 [Quickly Accumulate Wealth]

September 9, the fifth day of my visit to Hong Kong.

Early in the morning, Lin Rongheng sat up from the bed, and the old bed made a creaking sound, which made Lin Rongheng very worried about whether the bed would collapse.

"Chengzi, wake up!"

Li Chaocheng sat up in a daze and asked, "Brother Rong, what time is it now?"

Lin Rongheng looked at his cheap watch worth 30 Hong Kong dollars and said, "It's [-]:[-]!"

When Li Chaocheng heard it, he said, "Brother Rong, we haven't found a job yet. What are we doing up so early?"

Lin Rongheng slapped Li Chaocheng angrily, and said in a serious tone, "Have you heard of it? Get up early for three dynasties to be a job, and get up early for three years to be less poor. We haven't found a job, but we're going to make a fortune!"

When Li Chaocheng heard that he had made a fortune, he suddenly became energetic, and whispered back in his mouth: "Wake up early for three dynasties and work as a job, and get up early for three years and not be so poor Rong Rong, can you explain it to me?"

Lin Rongheng began to wear the cheap formal clothes he bought yesterday, and said, "It probably means that if you get up three days early, you can cover a day's work; if you get up three years early, you must be richer than if you didn't get up early. In short, you have to work hard to get rich. ."

During the conversation, the two quickly changed into cheap formal clothes, and finally looked a bit 'rich'.

Before six o'clock in the morning, Lin Rongheng and the two went out. The two first came to a newsstand. The owner of the newsstand was distributing goods. Lin Rongheng picked up a newspaper and read it.

Since it was six o'clock in the morning, there were not many people who bought newspapers. Lin Rongheng chose the one. Before the boss got impatient, he finally decided to buy a copy of "Sing Tao Daily" with strong financial nature and three different copies of Ma Jing. newspaper.

Lin Rongheng took Li Chao to find a time-honored wonton noodle restaurant called "Mai Que Wanton Noodles". Mai Que is the originator of this wonton noodle shop in Xiangjiang. "Wonton Noodle King" can be described as a family business with a long history.

In Hong Kong in the 70s and [-]s, the society was poor, and the citizens had to work hard, go to bed late and get up early, and it was not unusual for one person to work several jobs. Therefore, in this era, the business of breakfast and supper has always been very popular.

Ordered two bowls of the signature wanton noodles at HK$3 each, which is quite a luxury for Hong Kong citizens with an average salary of only HK$600.

So much so that while waiting, Li Chaocheng whispered, "Brother Rong, why don't I find a job and you will do your big thing!"

Lin Rongheng was reading "Sing Tao Daily" and said casually: "Don't worry, Xiangjiang's money is so easy to make, don't worry about it for a while. You can enjoy the food with peace of mind, even if the money is used up, the two of us are good hands and old. Gently, I'm afraid I won't make any money!"

Li Chaocheng said helplessly: "Oh!"

The start-up capital of the two was 3300 Hong Kong dollars, 150 Hong Kong dollars for renting a house, 100 Hong Kong dollars for buying a suit and watch, and nearly 50 Hong Kong dollars for other miscellaneous items. Now they only have 3000 Hong Kong dollars.

However, Lin Rongheng is not in a hurry at all, because he has a complete plan!

After a while, the waiter served the wonton noodles for the two of them.

"Eat it! This is wonton noodles. The one on top is shrimp dumplings. It's pure shrimp and thin-skinned meat. As for the noodles, they may be a little bland." , while explaining for Li Chao.

"Brother Rong, how do you know so much?" Li Chao's mouth was full of oil, and the aftertaste was endless.

Lin Rongheng waved his newspaper and said, "I read thousands of books and traveled thousands of miles. I also read it from books."

After 10 minutes, the two drank all the noodle soup and left the Mai Yu Wonton Noodle House.

Lin Rongheng took a taxi from West Kowloon to Tsim Sha Tsui, and then planned to take the Star Ferry to the island.

Happy Valley.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club will start the race every season.

Some people bet on horses, some people poison horses, and some are artificial horses.Why Poison Horses?Why build a horse?The horse case is confusing and outrageous!Once Han Shi Bai Ding wins the lottery, he becomes rich; then who is the real winner of the horse betting?

In a previous life, a horse fan made a couplet "to gamble to seek good and not good, and to set up charming people and inhuman people." Who understands this?

Lin Rongheng brought Li Chaocheng to the Happy Valley Jockey Club. The ticket for the horse race was HK$5. Lin Rongheng did not come to the racecourse to watch the horse race, but to participate in the horse betting.

Lin Rongheng knows a very important piece of information, that is, there are two gangs of poisonous horses. During the racing season from 1969 to 1970, they successively attacked more than 50 good horses. Among them, the Dutch red-card jockey Peng Lilai was one of them. The leader of the gang, of course, the big boss is a gang member; so this season, some good horses that were favored by horse critics before the competition were upset, and some horses that usually performed mediocre ran out of "single wins".

This is Lin Rongheng's opportunity. Lin Rongheng wants to learn from Zhuge Liang's 'borrowing the east wind' and 'borrowing arrows', and quickly accumulate primitive wealth from it!
At this time, the official horse racing betting points in Hong Kong are only available in the racecourse.

Horse fans don't care about money, but time, so if some horse fans who are a little far away from the horse club want to bet, they can only sigh and sigh.

In Xiangjiang, as long as there is a request, there will be an answer.

Some people set up horse betting stalls at the periphery, and these gambling stalls are basically controlled by gangsters; for horse betting in the venue, no matter which horse wins or loses, the commission received by the Jockey Club is always fixed, that is, 7.5% of the total bet; Betting on horses is different. The stall owner is the dealer, and the winning or losing of the horse is directly related to the profit and loss of the dealer.

If the horse that the gambler is betting on hits the first horse, the dealer will bleed a lot; therefore, these dealers are behind the poisoned horse case, but the last one was not found out because they were hidden too deeply, and they were commanding everything by remote control through the phone. That is, remuneration is also given to jockeys, grooms, doctors and others through various channels.

In the 60s, betting tips (guides) were all the rage. Usually, horse fans would buy one or several copies of the Horse Classics newspaper, and then make bets based on the tips provided by horse critics. middle.However, the good times did not last long. The horse critics stumbled, made repeated mistakes, and made frequent upsets; some horses that were not optimistic in the arena ran out one after another, causing some horse fans to complain.

Lin Rongheng knew this and decided to gamble on horses to make a fortune. Of course, there was still a lot of risk; but in order to quickly accumulate primitive wealth, it was still worth a gamble.

Happy Valley Racecourse is very large, and it is full of people at first glance. Plus today is the weekend, there are almost thousands of people. They are not so much horse fans as they are gamblers.There is no place in the world where horse racing is held so grandly like Hong Kong, not even the UK.

There are several horse races every day in the horse racing season in Hong Kong. There are four or five hundred races in a season. Horse fans will have four or five hundred opportunities every season!

Although Lin Rongheng knew that there were frequent upsets this season, he didn't know exactly which horses were drugged, so Lin Rongheng's plan was to bet 20 races, 150 Hong Kong dollars per race, and three of the ten horses. The first horse ran out of 'win'.

In addition to Lin Rongheng's bet on 'Double Win', there are many other ways to play, such as position, margin, margin Q, triple lottery, triple treasure, clearance, etc.; Uniwin is the easiest way to bet, just bet A certain horse in a race comes out on top.

Since Lin Rongheng is betting on a slightly unpopular horse, if he wins, he will be rewarded ten times to dozens of times.

The horse racing season has started for more than 20 days. According to Lin Rongheng's investigation, although there were upsets in the previous races, they were not frequent; but the proportion of upsets in the last few races has begun to increase. Lin Rongheng knows that the two gangs of poisonous horse groups are already in action up.

There are four games in total today, and Lin Rongheng decided to give up the first game and wait and see.

At the beginning of the first game, although Lin Rongheng didn't make a bet, he was very focused, because if the first game was not too upset, it means that his winning rate has increased by [-]% today.

"Run! Run!" The shouts from the audience were deafening one after another. This situation seems to be a bit more exciting than watching the World Cup in later generations, because everyone in the audience has betting tickets in their hands.

"Brother Rong, people in Xiangjiang really like to gamble?" Li Chaocheng sighed aside.

Lin Rongheng shook his head and said, "I don't like gambling. The Jockey Club and the government only take [-]% of the total betting amount, and the remaining [-]% is used to pay for winning the lottery. This is like a wealth redistribution, so everyone feels very fairness."

Li Chaocheng said 'oh', as if he didn't understand!

After a while, the first race was over, and Lin Rongheng was excited by the result.

There are ten horses wrestling in a race, and Lin Rongheng chooses three horses as 'winners', which is equivalent to a 30% chance of winning; if the top two horses in this race are given chronic drugs, Lin Rongheng bets The odds of winning will be even greater; coupled with the two most unpopular horses, Lin Rongheng will also give up.

Lin Rongheng thinks so, according to the winning rate on paper, he has reached more than 50%.

If you bet on 20 horse races, you spend 150 Hong Kong dollars per game (50 Hong Kong dollars per horse), and the total expenditure is 3000 Hong Kong dollars; as long as you bet 10 races, your bonus is almost 8000 Hong Kong dollars or more, then you will make a profit of 5000. Hong Kong dollars.

Of course, there are African chiefs and European emperors, and the results are unknown!

But at least his winning percentage on the board (with frequent upsets throughout the season) is far greater than others.

Not only that, Lin Rongheng can also observe through the jockey Peng Li, and even observe the state of the horse.
Throughout October, there were a total of 60 horse races. Lin Rongheng bet according to the carefully analyzed plan, and he made a total profit:

18000 HKD!

Throughout the 60 Marseilles in October, Lin Rongheng made a total profit of 18000 Hong Kong dollars, plus the original principal of 3000 Hong Kong dollars, and after deducting the cost of 1000 Hong Kong dollars, Lin Rongheng's assets have reached 20000 Hong Kong dollars.

Lin Rongheng proved with facts that his analysis and betting plan were correct!
The luck in October can only be considered average. It is neither the African Emirates nor the European Emperor. A total of 60 Marseilles have guessed 23 Marseilles' 'single wins'. After all, their winning rate is 50%.

And through Lin Rongheng's observation and analysis, it has been confirmed that the two gangs of poisonous horses had already started their operations at the end of September, and he just borrowed their favor.

Not only that, Lin Rongheng has also honed the experience that only old horse fans have, which makes Lin Rongheng even more advantageous.

In November, Lin Rongheng made a new plan, investing 360 Hong Kong dollars in each game, and betting on three horses as a 'one-win'; because it was an upset bet, once the bet was successful, a game would at least make a profit of more than 1500 Hong Kong dollars.
