Reborn Hong Kong Wild Age

Chapter 51 The Ye Family Brothers and Sisters
"Pretty boy has a good way of making money!"

Liu Dong boasted, but did not greet Gu Xiayang too much.

In fact, the Department of Education does not know how many similar complaints it receives every year. There are all kinds of complaints.

"Ayang, buy something to play with?"

"Okay!"

Later, when I came back, it was also "the horse runs and dances", how could it be possible not to bet on horses when you come to the racecourse!

Today is the horse racing day, and the entire Sha Tin Racecourse has long been crowded with people. Countless horse fans hold the "Horse Book" and study it carefully.

In Hong Kong, to enjoy a horse race, the entrance fee is only 10 Hong Kong dollars, and the minimum ticket for each bet is 10 yuan, and the entry threshold is not high.

Buying horses in Hong Kong is a lot of fun.It is because there are many ways to play such as triple lottery, three choices, single T, single win, continuous win, etc., and the difficulty and odds of each buying method are different.

Gu Xiayang didn't understand these things, and hadn't studied the classics of horses, so he followed Pan Disheng and bought something for fun.

For example, "Wealth is Overwhelming" he is currently shooting, although the protagonist is the Mark Six lottery, but the Mark Six lottery is also a legal game under the Jockey Club.

It is precisely because everyone in Hong Kong hopes to win the jackpot and is extremely enthusiastic about gambling that "Wealthy Man" has become a dark horse at the box office.

It's just that Hong Kong people bet on horses, and the losers will always be the vast majority.

The racecourse needs to lay turf to make it easier for the horses to run, so Hong Kong people call horse betting winning money "digging turf", and losing money is called "laying turf".

It means that all the betting money has become turf under the horseshoe, but many "turf laying" people always want to turn defeat into victory.

For example, Wu Mengda, who has officially signed a full contract with Tianxiayi, likes to bet heavily on horse racing with no betting limit when he first became famous.

Like many of the roles he has played, Wu Mengda lost all his money, lost all his assets and was heavily in debt in just a few months.

Now he has changed his mind and started from the beginning, and he still relies on "If There is Love in the Sky" to make a comeback, and began to frequently take on dramas to pay off his debts.

In addition to Wu Mengda, Chen Baixiang, another gold medal supporting actor in Zhou Xingchi's movie, also went bankrupt twice because of horse betting.

So when he played the gambler in the movie, he acted in his true colors without any trace.

His wife Huang Xinxiu, who has always been loyal to him, spent 1620 Hong Kong dollars to bet on horses with friends in a horse race held in later generations. Unexpectedly, she won a huge bonus of 600 million Hong Kong dollars.

It is precisely because there are such examples of overnight riches that horse fans flock to them, hoping that they are the only one.

With the popularity of horse racing activities, there are still various media and experts in Hong Kong that "rely on horses to eat horses", including newspapers, radio, television, and later online media. There are more than dozens of newspapers related to horses. The horse classics column has produced a group of experts who study "horse".

The racecourse in this atmosphere also stimulates everyone who comes to watch the horses to bet to a great extent.

Gu Xiayang and Pan Disheng watched the batch of racehorses come out of the gate, and the entire Sha Tin Racecourse soon vibrated, and all the horse fans cheered for the horses and jockeys they bought, which was deafening.

"Fall on the street!"

On the viewing platform outside the hall, most of the elites paid attention to their status and did not change their expressions. There were also some genuine ones who couldn't help cursing.

"It seems that today's start is not good!"

The parachutist that Pan Disheng bought had already lost, and he said with a smile: "I thought I could win a lot of money by bringing you here. I really want to go down to lead the horse. I don't know when I will win the lottery!"

"Ah Yang, let me tell you, you should become a member as soon as possible. You can also apply for a horse owner later on. Whoever wins the lottery first will buy a precious horse together and lead the horse together!"

Gu Xiayang smiled and said, "Let's talk about it after I become a member of the Jockey Club!"

In fact, Pan Disheng didn't start raising horses until 1991, and he raised several horses at a time, such as 'Easy and Easy', 'Running Saint' and the like.

However, his horse is not famous for winning the championship, but this guy bought the French horse 'Flying Walk' for US$1997 in 60, and waited for an accident in the next year's competition and needed humane destruction.

Pan Disheng actually wanted to seek "justice" for his beloved horse that had been humanely destroyed, and immediately filed a complaint with the Hong Kong court to seek compensation from the Jockey Club and the late jockey Kan Wai-yu, becoming the first case in Hong Kong to claim compensation from the Jockey Club due to the humane destruction of a horse case.

"Brother Sheng, you must be a good horse owner as a horse owner!"

Hearing Gu Xiayang's words, Pan Disheng smiled and said, "That's for sure, I've already bought a horse and it's being fostered in Singapore."

Being a horse owner is a must. Gu Xiayang remembered that the last time Zhou Huimin was sent to the hospital, she said that she was not Prince Charming, and she said that she would become a horse owner in the future and buy a white horse.

But if you want to be a horse owner, money is useless, you have to be lucky!
After you become a member of the Jockey Club, the horses purchased by private horse owners who want to enter the Jockey Club must also win the lottery.

Because the number of active horses in the Hong Kong Jockey Club is limited every year, generally no more than 1200 in total, the number of draws for new horses in this year depends on how many horses retire this year.

Of course, if you have money, you can’t get in. It doesn’t mean you can’t have money. Later, the price of the most expensive horses even exceeded 2000 million, and the cheapest ones cost hundreds of thousands. Most of the horses cost more than 500 million Hong Kong dollars. On the road is the top sports car of the organism, which is equivalent to half a house in Hong Kong.

Moreover, it costs the horse owner 50 Hong Kong dollars to train the horses in the Jockey Club for a year. Generally, the age of the racehorses is over three years old, and they only run for a few years until they are seven or eight years old before retiring to retire.

Just like Guo Fucheng, one of the four heavenly kings, won the lottery and became the owner of the horse. At that time, he said excitedly that winning the lottery felt like winning the "Mark Six Lottery".

He even used his 97 album title "Call of Love" to name the horse he bought for millions.

“爱的呼唤”从2012年到2015年，“爱的呼唤”在18场赛事中取得2次冠军、4次亚军、3次季军。

Because of being so favored, Gossip Weekly also revealed that Xiong Dailin, who was Guo Fucheng's girlfriend at the time, was jealous of this.

Girlfriends need to compete with a horse to be jealous, which shows how fanatical horse betting is in Hong Kong.

For example, Zhang Zhilin bought Baoju together with Guo Tianwang, and successfully entered the field to lead the horse. He is really happier than marrying Liangliang.

"Yangzi!"

While Gu Xiayang was chatting with Pan Disheng, a familiar voice suddenly came.

"uncle?"

Looking sideways, the uncle Shen Hao who 'run away from home' before was waving at Gu Xiayang on the other side.

"Brother Sheng, let me go over."

After talking to Pan Disheng, Gu Xiayang walked towards Shen Hao.

"I just said it looks like you, come over to play with friends?"

"Well, uncle, I called you some time ago, why didn't you call back?"

"You think I'm stupid? The old man must have told you to look for me. Fortunately, I hid for a while, or I would have broken my leg."

Although Shen Hao is Gu Xiayang's uncle, he is a complete bastard and does not have the slightest awareness of being a successor to a wealthy family. He is a proper dude of a wealthy family.

"Come on, let me introduce a friend to you. He is also your colleague and has played movies."

Shen Hao pulled his nephew back into the hall and walked towards his friend.

Gu Xiayang followed her uncle, looked in the direction, and recognized this year's third runner-up at the first sight. As for the middle-aged man beside her, it goes without saying that it was her legendary brother Ye Zhiming.

Ye Zhiming was successful when he was young, so it was inevitable that he misused his money for money. Back then, he played Pai Gow with Zheng Jiachun (Zheng Yutong's son) and ship king Zhao Shiguang, and they spent millions at every turn.

Afterwards, he was able to rise and fall in the business circle, and he can be called a tycoon in the entertainment and business circles.

In the earliest days, Ye Zhiming speculated and rented and sold yachts in Saigon in the 60s. Later, he made fakes and sold them in the United States, earning millions, and then engaged in oil business, which resulted in a total loss.

In the 70s, he used 4 yuan to make "BANG-BANG" jeans and established a kingdom of hundreds of millions. In 76, he started the BANGBANG film company and produced films such as "Jumping Ashes".

But within a few years, BANGBANG failed to turn around. Ye Zhiming asked Qiu Degen and his son and Chen Songqing of Carrian Group to take over the offer, resulting in a loss of tens of millions. charged him with fraud.

In the past two years, Ye Zhiming made a profit from the Beihai Fishing Village, and raised tens of millions to build the Qiaozui Island Resort. Gu Xiayang knew that the grandma who lost money in the end didn't know him, and in the end 60 tens of thousands were sold.

"A Ming, Xiao Yu. Originally, I said that I would introduce you to my nephew some other day, but I didn't expect it to happen today."

Shen Hao and Ye Zhiming are old acquaintances, and they are also interested in Ye Yuqing, so they introduced them very enthusiastically.

"Yang Zi, this is my good friend Ye Zhiming and his sister Ye Yuqing. You run a weekly magazine, Xiao Yu must know each other! She just participated in the beauty pageant of Sister Asia this year and won the third place!"

Seeing Gu Xiayang's figure, Ye Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she said sweetly, "Mr. Gu is so pretty, even better than in the newspapers."

Gu Xiayang shook hands with her: "Miss Ye is Sister Ya, you are the one who looks so good-looking."

Ye Yuqing muttered: "It's the third runner-up."

"Mr. Ye is my senior. He has admired his name for a long time, but he did not expect to be friends with my uncle."

Ye Zhiming said with a smile: "Young Master Gu is young and promising, he is really a man of the hour in Hong Kong now! I really admire the fact that you can earn millions by selling a card."

"Your first play can earn 2000 million at the box office, which is far behind me."

Ye Zhiming was interested in Gu Xiayang, and said: "I used to make movies, and Nanyang's distribution channels are very good. If there is an opportunity, we can cooperate."

"Ok."

Gu Xiayang was noncommittal, chatted casually with them, left a business card, and dragged his uncle to the coffee room for a while.

As for Ye Zhiming's Nanyang distribution channel, Gu Xiayang didn't believe a word.

In fact, Ye Zhiming likes to play movies, and his grades are still good.

Chen Xinjian, who is now shining brightly, is Ye Zhiming who sincerely invites the abandoned policeman to join the film, with a monthly salary of 2.4 Hong Kong dollars.

This salary was more than double that of the police superintendent at that time, which was very attractive, and it also created a Hong Kong gold medal emcee and movie star.

It's a pity that this guy's good Binbin Film Production Company didn't play, and he went out of his way to engage in the honorary distribution of Binbin, and finally he couldn't get along in the Hong Kong film circle at all.

For the Hong Kong theaters to release a movie, the actual chance of success in the selection is very subtle.

First of all, if it is a movie produced by the theater's own production department, it is not a problem to schedule the movie.

Some independent distribution companies that have a close interest relationship with theaters can also get some good schedules.

And the person who has the right to decide the schedule is often the distribution manager of the theater chain.

Binbin itself does not have any distribution capabilities, but it signs an annual advertising contract with the TV station, and then Ye Zhiming finds a movie that has already been scheduled, and in exchange for Binbin's sponsorship of TV advertising fees, the condition is to add: Binbin company distribution.

For the film owner, suddenly there is a company willing to pay tens of thousands of yuan for TV advertisements, of course they are happy to accept it.

It doesn't matter to them who publishes it.But for Binbin, it was right in his arms.

One of the conditions for Binbin to broadcast TV commercials for free is that it requires Binbin to be responsible for the advertising work of the film.

So outside film owners began to believe that Bin Bin is a capable film distribution organization. In addition to being able to distribute films in theaters, it also has excellent publicity techniques, and every film must be released.

For outsiders, every movie has seen the words "Honorable Release of Binbin", and they will think that Binbin has something to do.

So they came to their door one after another, asking for agents to distribute their films, most of which were films produced in Taiwan.

In the end, the film owners who had dealt with Binbin were all complaining.

For example, for a Taiwanese action film with a revenue of more than 120 million yuan, the film owner has to pay for it out of his own pocket.

It turns out that Binbin stated in the advertising contract that they have the right to decide to increase or decrease the promotional expenses due to the trend of the film.

Therefore, no matter when the film is doing well or badly, there is an excuse to increase the promotional expenses. As a result, the promotional expenses can sometimes be as high as one-third or one-fourth of the film’s box office. If you have to pay a huge amount of advertising fees, the gain outweighs the gain, just like the Cantonese saying, "It's good to see but not good to eat".

"Yangzi, Ah Ming was very good at movies before, you can ask for advice."

In the coffee room, Shen Hao said with a smile: "His sister is good, can you praise her?"

"No problem, I will arrange a role for her when I have a chance. I have to help the person my uncle likes."

Gu Xiayang couldn't see Shen Hao's thoughts, so he didn't compete with his uncle for food, and he must give this face.

"Ye Zhiming can be a friend, but if you are asked to invest in Sea Paradise Park on Kiu Tsui Island in Sai Kung, you don't want to invest money."

Hearing this, Shen Hao showed a bitter expression, and pondered: "I invested 500 million at the beginning, and I was thinking of getting rid of it!"

"Pfft! Uncle, I don't think you're too young, you can be your prodigal son at ease, and let your cousin and sister-in-law handle the business!"

"I already know."

The former Shen Hao was also ambitious, but he would lose no matter what he invested in. After so many years, he knew his ability, and the old man no longer delegated power to him.

"Recently Ye Zhiming is lobbying Uncle Tong's second son, Zheng Jiacheng, to inject capital. Let me see if there is a chance to sell."

"Well, even if you lose money, get rid of it as soon as possible."

Gu Xiayang knew that Ye Zhiming was very good at playing routines, even Qiu Daheng and his eldest son could cheat him, Zheng Jiacheng might fall into it.

After parting ways with Gu Xiayang, Shen Hao returned to the hall proudly.

"Brother Hao, your nephew is very capable. Xiaoyu is now in the entertainment industry and signed a full contract with ATV. Tell him, if you have a show, you can find Xiaoyu!"

"That's right, Brother Hao, help me to speak well for Young Master Gu. All the children in Hong Kong love to read his magazine. If I can be on the cover once, I might become popular."

Ye Yuqing took the second place in the Asian sister, and also filmed a movie this year, but it didn't make any waves.

Shen Hao laughed: "Don't worry, I told him just now. The world is big, and uncle is the biggest. He listens to me very well. His magazine is still the start-up money I gave him 30 as a graduation gift!"

Ye Yuqing's eyes lit up, and she said sweetly, "Thank you Brother Hao!"

On the other side, Gu Xiayang also went back to play a few more hands with Pan Disheng. The two of them were unlucky in gambling, and they lost 50 in total and stopped.

"Brother Sheng, do the selection members of this issue have any friends who can talk?"

"The first thing I encountered was He Dazhuang. Do you want to be naturalized? I will help you arrange it. Your family background is clean and you are also a famous person. It is not a big problem, but you have to wait in line. I don't know when you will be naturalized."

"Then wait in line first. Without naturalization, even if I lose hundreds of thousands or millions, I won't enjoy the treatment!"

Although Gu Xiayang was brought into the clubhouse by Pan Disheng, the Jockey Club values ​​equality and rules.

Membership regulations stipulate that children of members who are under the age of 21 can use their parents' membership to enjoy the services of the club, but once they are over 21, the membership will never be "hereditary".

This is true for the children of members, not to mention friends of members.

When Pan Disheng heard Gu Xiayang's words, he smiled and said, "It's only when I came to the racecourse that I felt that you are a rich man, Ayang, change your car early! If someone sees you, you will laugh your ass off. I heard that there have been newspaper reports that you are too petty. gone."
