Chapter 1101 The plan cannot keep up with the changes
Although the national bird of England is the robin, its status here is not as high as that of the crow.
Because the crow is regarded as a sacred bird and patron saint by the English, its status and symbolic meaning are simply incomparable to that of a little robin.
Han Li didn't know about this at first. He only learned about this from a book after he came here.
Moreover, these legends about crows have been recognized by both the royal family and the people. They believe that crows are related to England's national destiny. The more crows there are, the stronger and more prosperous the country will be.
On the contrary, they believe that if the crows leave London on a large scale, England will fall apart.
Therefore, these crows can not only fly and land freely in England but also enjoy the food given to them by the people.
Some crows can live openly inside the Big Ben of London Tower, where there is a position of Raven Officer who is responsible for feeding the crows and cleaning their droppings.
Han Li also learned from the book that the owl, which symbolizes death, darkness, and ominousness in our country, also has a high status in the entire West.
Because the owl has a close relationship with the goddess of wisdom Athena, and there is a legend that the owl is Athena's favorite bird, the owl not only became Athena's sacred bird, it was engraved on coins, and was also given the title of a symbol of wisdom.
The owl is slightly better in England, but its status in Thera and Athens is extremely high. It is also a divine bird, a sacred bird, and a patron saint.
It is precisely because of this that, although there are a little owl couple in Han Li’s vast peach garden, their status and symbolism in England are far not as high as those of crows.
There are some things that are fine for crows to do, but if owls are asked to do them, they may be driven away or killed. This is why Han Li asked Saker Falcon and Peregrine Falcon to catch crows.
However, what Han Li did not expect was that these crows in Renton were very large, a circle larger than those in Sijiu City, and their temperaments were also more ferocious.
Therefore, they caught a lot of Saker Falcons and Peregrine Falcons, but only four of them were healthy and alive.
However, four crows are enough for Han Li for the time being. If they are not enough, he can just catch more.
The next day, after breakfast, Han Li boarded the train to the Ascot Jockey Club.
Since it is an annual event, there are many people on the train, and most of them are from other countries. The carriage is also filled with various local languages.
These are nothing. It was only when Han Li arrived at the place that he felt the excitement.
Horse racing at this time of year takes place over five days, and today is two days away from the official start of the race.
Although the racecourse has not yet opened, many businesses have gathered around it, as well as some trendy and beautifully dressed men and women.
There was a long queue in front of the ticket window. An ordinary ticket, which means a standing ticket, cost 60 British pounds, and a seated ticket cost 90 British pounds.
As for tickets for the VIP area, they are not sold to the public at all. Those places are reserved for the Queen and members of the royal family.
Of course, those positions are the best way for the queen and the royal family to win over people. Every year they give them to domestic nobles with titles, some tycoons, officials from other countries, and influential businessmen.
Unfortunately for Han Li, he did not buy the first-hand package tickets from those private bars.
This is not because the other party is unwilling to make money, nor is it because Han Li is not wearing a custom-made suit made by a famous tailor.
Moreover, the Queen's favorite horse "Dunford" will participate in the horse race this year, so the Queen will be there to watch in person, and the security is a level higher than in previous years. Moreover, all the seats in the private bar were reserved half a month ago by those downtrodden nobles and businessmen who had no confidence that they could get an invitation from the royal family.
In addition, the butler of the private bar also reminded Han Li that he should hurry to buy even ordinary tickets, otherwise he might not even be able to buy a standing ticket in the end.
This situation made Han Li leave cursing in his heart, and he turned around to queue up at the ticket window, and bought all the tickets for 18 shows over five consecutive days.
Afterwards, Han Li came to the horse racing betting window next to him.
Han Li only learned some superficial things from horse racing classics and newspapers. It would be harder than climbing to the sky to expect to make money from this information.
Han Li didn't want to fall into a trap because of this little money, so it was better to be safe.
However, if the Queen's favorite horse is going to race this year, its chances of winning will definitely be high.
If the Queen was afraid of damaging the royal dignity, the result of this game might have been decided in advance.
Therefore, Han Li only needed to bet on the "Dunfulan" racehorse, and he also placed additional bets.
If Han Li can win this time, he is expected to win a prize of 100 million British pounds.

If Han Li had the chance to watch the racehorses from a distance, he would be confident that he would take the bet with odds of 550 million.
But that was all imagination. Now Han Li no longer thought that he would have the chance to see those racehorses before the competition started.
After Han Li got everything done, the situation around the racecourse was different from before.
Originally there were only some small stalls and small companies, but now the stalls of those big companies have also expanded.
The most people are gathered near the small stalls and food trucks, which sell things like French fries, beer, and drinks.
But for most people, horse racing is a place to relax and expand their social circles, and this is enough for them.
The situation in front of the booths of those big companies is a little different. In addition to various promotional slogans, the ingredients and drinks here are more high-end, and some stalls will even provide tourists with a drink for free.
Moreover, compared with the customers in the small stall area, the men sitting here are dressed more formally, while the women are dressed more trendy, open and casual.
But the functions of these two places are the same, the difference is that they receive and make friends with different groups of people.
More people came here at the same time, but Han Li didn't have time to visit these stalls for the time being, nor was he in the mood to chat with those beauties who were obviously here to show themselves and find shortcuts in life.
Han Li now had to quickly book a comfortable and spacious hotel, otherwise he was afraid that he would end up living in a room that could only accommodate a bed, a sofa and no shower.
The most important thing is that Han Li still hasn't given up. He wants to book a hotel near the racecourse.
In that case, even if Han Li couldn't go and check it out in person, he could use crows and owls to help him get a general idea.
Han Li found such a hotel, but when he was booking a room, he saw a woman who looked familiar, good-looking, and had a sexy figure.
