Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 267 Waiting for a slap in the face to go back
自己这边等于七家电影院，要是按照张天志说的，7、8万采购却报15万到18万。七家电影院加起来至少贪了50来万。

Of course, Baifanyu probably didn't know it himself. Now that the renovation of 11 movie theaters was about to be completed, Chu Xiangqian guessed that the old man had most likely gritted his teeth and paid the extra money for the sake of face.

After all, the original quotation of 50 yuan was a price Baifanyu raised by himself, patting his chest.

When Chu Xiangqian thought of this, he couldn't help but feel a little funny. An old man like Baifanyu was actually fooled by his subordinates.

"I'll call Boss Bai later and ask him to go to the racecourse to watch the excitement. By the way, I'll ask Sanjiang Shui how the process of inviting him to invite Wrong Huai and He Guochang is going."

"Okay, boss," Zhang Tianzhi was thinking as he drove. If this matter reaches the ears of Baifanyu, he doesn't know how many people will be reclaimed tonight.

But Chu Xiangqian thought that maybe Baifanyu would be a blessing in disguise. When dealing with those men who were greedy for money, he could not only make up for the losses from them, but also take advantage of the opportunity to make hundreds of thousands or even millions.

After being greedy for the boss's money and killing these people, the money and family wealth in their hands will naturally become freewheeling.

And the people below have no objections to this matter at all. They are still greedy after being given profits, so don't blame Baifanyu for enforcing family laws.

When we arrived at Happy Valley Racecourse, there were already a few ghost guys waiting at the stables.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care much about the ghost guys from the Jockey Club, because he knew very well that no matter how rich he was, these ghost guys still looked down on him.

Margaret was determined to expand his contacts in Hong Kong Island.

After only ten minutes of chatting, Chu Xiangqian not only became a horse owner and member actively invited by the Jockey Club, but when these ghost guys heard that he had acquired two purebred horses and two Arabian horses in a row in the past week. , a Hanoverian, an Andalusian and a Thoroughbred.

He immediately treated him differently.

Let’s not talk about the performance of these horses on the track. In terms of financial resources alone, it seems that Chu Xiangqian has a lot of strength and connections.

Bridge, the executive director of the Jockey Club, even took the initiative to invite Chu Xiangqian to let his 'Guardian Knight' participate in tomorrow's 1600-meter track.

Norton's face lit up when he heard this. Although the event on Hong Kong Island was only a second-level track, as long as he got the ranking, it would be helpful to compete in London later.

At least the 'Guardian Knight' is no longer a pure novice who has never even been on the track.

After getting the wild card, there will be far fewer people talking about it.

If the record can be broken, there is a high probability that London will take the initiative to invite Chu Xiangqian to take his horse to compete.

But if they can't even finish in the top three, or even the top five, in tomorrow's game, then they will basically give up on the England Triple Crown in May.

Just doing this means losing the opportunity to participate in any Triple Crown. After all, the most basic prerequisite for participating in such an event is a three-year-old horse.

Chu Xiangqian naturally has confidence in the 'Guardian Knight'.

体质1.4、力量1.2，敏捷1.6的三围属性，比赤兔的原始属性力量强了0.1、敏捷也强了0.1。

If you still can't get a ranking with this strength, then you really have to rely on cheating.

Take the 'Guardian Knight' into the novice village and upgrade it by one or two levels.

Of course, it would be best if you could split 1 free point.

Just as he was thinking about going back to find a horse to level up and try again, he saw five knights wearing knight uniforms, but not very tall and looking very thin, walking over.

Chu Xiangqian only took a few glances and saw that the eyes of these ghost knights not only looked at him with contempt, but also with deep jealousy and unwillingness.

In just a moment, Chu Xiangqian rejected these people as the riders of the 'Guardian Knight'.

Before Executive Director Bridge could speak, Chu Xiangqian said, "Sorry, please replace me."

Everyone was stunned, and several Jockey Club ghost guys immediately frowned, but because Norton and Margaret were there, they could only curse Chu Xiangqian in their hearts.

He didn't say anything.

Margaret came over, took Chu's forward arm and asked in a low voice, "What's the matter, honey?"

Chu Xiangqian didn't hide it, "I see jealousy, contempt and resentment in their eyes. Such people, let alone treating our guardian knights wholeheartedly, might do something dirty on the track.

If one of them is bad, our baby will be ruined. "

Margaret quit immediately. As for whether Chu Xiangqian's words were true or false, she didn't care that much.

In her heart, this horse represented the agreement between herself and Chu Xiangqian. She looked at Bridge and the others and said, "Gentlemen, I'd like to trouble you."

Although Margaret didn't say it clearly, which saved everyone's face, any fool could tell that this girl was completely on Chu Qianqian's side.

Bridge shook his head helplessly and nodded to one of his men.

The five relatively strong riders who had just been selected were immediately chased away.

But to be honest, since these five have not been able to become the exclusive riders of a certain horse, to a large extent, their abilities are actually not very good.

Of course, it is also possible that he has not met a good horse, which is why he has never had good qualifications and good results.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't care about this. In his eyes, these guardian knights were the first step in making a name for themselves.

As long as he got a good ranking, Chu Xiangqian dared to increase the price of the bloody horse by 1 pounds on the spot.

If you make him anxious, pull the quarter horse out of the stables in the Novice Village and upgrade it to level 2 to add points to its constitution and agility.

Keep dominating on the track below 2400 meters.

Not long after, three riders, 2 men and 1 woman, appeared in front of everyone again.

Chu Qianqian could tell at a glance that the female rider was not only rejected by the male riders, but also other racecourse staff were indifferent to her.

Just thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian knew that many sports these days are very unfriendly to women, and many sports even have no competition for women at all.

The first female rider on the speed circuit still has 72 years to go.

In other words, this female rider will struggle and work hard for more than ten years in the future, but she has never had the opportunity to get on the track.

After the female rider's qualifications are released, she may be 40 years old by then, and she will most likely have given up long ago.

Chu Qianqian wanted to directly designate the woman, but then he thought about it and whispered to Margaret, "Peggy, do you want to create history?"

Margaret looked at Chu Xiangqian's handsome face strangely, and heard Chu Xiangqian continue in a low voice, "If you support a female knight to enter the speed track, what do you think will happen to women in England and other countries?" Evaluate you?"

Margaret's eyes brightened, but dimmed within a few seconds.

After all, this era is still a patriarchal society, and the support and support of women alone is far less than the dissatisfaction and slander of men.

After Chu Qianqian listened to Margaret's explanation and thought about it, he realized that he had made a cognitive error.

"Well, if our horse wins the championship, it's up to you to present the award to the female jockey."

Margaret nodded without any hesitation this time.

Chu Xiangqian pointed at the female knight and said, "It's her." A group of ghost guys immediately frowned, but Chu Xiangqian knew very well that he would call the female knight over because he wanted to embarrass himself.

But Chu Xiangqian wanted to slap him in the face back.

Moreover, when the Guardian Knight really gets on the Triple Crown track, my identity as an Asian will be a challenge to Europe and the United States.

Since it is destined to not receive support and support, it is better to choose a woman to be a rider.

At least this woman will care more about results and the health of the horse than the male jockey.

After all, once something goes wrong with the Guardian Knight, her career as a rider will definitely come to an end.

"Mr. Chu, are you sure you want Ms. Lindsay Wood to be your rider?"

Lindsay can also be called Linsley, which is a common name among women, and the literal translation of Wood means wood, wood.

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that this woman's background was not good, and she might even be from a cowboy family in Austria or the western United States.

And since it will appear at the Hong Kong Island Racecourse, it can be seen that this woman's love for horse racing may exceed that of most male jockeys.

However, Chu Xiangqian couldn't hold on to his words, "Let her try it first."

Lindsay Wood trembled with excitement after hearing this.

Chu Xiangqian's guess was correct. This woman was indeed from an American cowboy family, but her hometown was not in the West, but in Texas.

Seeing the guardian knight being led out, Lindsay excitedly thanked Chu Qianqian repeatedly.

Chu Qianqian looked at the woman in front of him, who was only a little over 1 meters tall and weighed no more than 5 kilograms, feeling emotional at the same time.

He smiled and said to her, "Ma'am, this is your opportunity, and it's also my opportunity. Do you understand?"

"Of course." Lindsey has been in the rider industry for five or six years, and he has long known that this may be his only chance to go on the track in his life.

Chu stepped forward and patted the guardian knight's neck, and the horse immediately became quiet.

Then Chu held Lindsay forward and put her on the horse. The guardian knight changed his bad temper before and quietly let Lindsay hold the reins and stroke his neck.

As for the words that Lindsay whispered in the horse's ear, they were just to cheer herself up.

With Chu Xiangqian as his master, and using advanced horse training skills to comfort him, the guardian knight has accepted Lindsay as his partner.

Chu Xiangqian personally led the horse again and walked around the track. During this period, he also talked a lot with Lindsay on the horse about the horse's temper, explosive power, speed, endurance and other matters.

The more Lindsay listened, the more excited she became.

If the owner is not lying, just because a non-professional rider can run under 1 minute and 37 seconds on it, it means that this horse already looks like a champion.

Just think about the weight of professional riders, which is generally under 90 pounds, and you will know the difference between professionals and non-professionals.

With luck, 1 minute and 35 seconds is enough to win the championship on this track.

After another circle, Chu moved forward and released the reins. He smiled and said to Lindsay, "The guardian knight should have accepted you. If you ride it around for two more times, I will officially run a race."

Lindsay nodded hurriedly, and Chu Qianqian pointed to the eyes of the guardian knight, and then pointed to Lindsay on the horse.

Lindsay and others looked puzzled, but the guardian knight knew that this was his master's warning not to mess around.

While neighing, he nodded the horse's head several times to show that he understood.

When Chu Qianqian returned to the stand, not only Baifanyu had arrived, but Wrinkle Huai and He Guochang were also invited over by Sanjiang Shui.

And it's only been two days since I saw Sanjiangshui. This guy has actually put on a green uniform, and it seems that he has already joined the army as a uniformed police officer.

Seeing Chu looking forward to him, Sanjiang Shui smiled brightly.

Chu Qianqian said hello to Bai Fanyu, stretched out his hand to Wrinkle Huai and He Yaochang and said, "Gentlemen, I'm rude to invite you here."

Wrinkle Huai and He Guochang hurriedly waved their hands, then shook hands with Chu Qianqian and said, "It's okay, Mr. Chu, it's a rare pastime to come to the racecourse."

When Chu Xiangqian heard this, he knew that the two of them were unwilling to change jobs.

It's right to think about it. Wrinkle Huai is now the publicity manager of Shaw Brothers. How can he resign and go to a little-known company?

Chu pulled Bai Fanyu forward and said to Wrinkle Huai, "Uncle Bai and I jointly opened a new cinema chain of 11 cinemas, plus the two film companies we each opened.

As long as you two are willing to help me, Mr. Wrinkle will be the general manager of the theater chain and cinema tomorrow, and Mr. He will be the production director and deputy general manager of the company.

The monthly salary is 2, and as long as you stay in the company for 3 years, I will give you 1% of the options. "

There is a difference between options and direct shares.

The former is equivalent to a promise to sell the pre-agreed number of shares to Wrinkle Huai and his wife after a certain number of years.

Moreover, they are not allowed to be transferred during their term of office. Even if two people leave their posts, they must first be reviewed to confirm that they have not committed any fraud during their term of office before the shares can be transferred to their names.

But for Wrinkle Huai and He Guanchang, this is not only an incentive, but also an opportunity to be the boss.

This is absolutely impossible at Shaw Brothers.

So the two of them were excited when they heard it, not to mention the monthly salary of 2000, which is a full 5 or 6 times higher than the current salary of Wrinkle and Huai.

When Chu Qianqian looked at the expressions of the two of them, he knew that talking about ideals and prospects was not as effective as talking about money directly.

He continued with a smile, "If you stay for five years, you will get another 5%. If you stay for ten years, you will get another 2%.

In other words, after 10 years, the combined shares of both of you will reach 10%.Believe me, with this condition, no film company in Hong Kong can be better than me.

At the same time, you are using your talents as shares, giving you a platform to display your talents and becoming your own boss. "

Not to mention Wrinkle Huai and He Guochang, even Baifanyu looked at Chu Qianqian in surprise.

These days, whether they are stars, directors, behind the scenes, or even company directors and general managers, they all earn dead wages.

Even if there is a bonus, it is basically just a few months' salary.

In other words, the more capable a person is, the smaller the channels for him to rise after reaching a certain height.

Basically, all that is left is to resign and become your own boss.

But the more people in the industry understand, the more they understand that it is not difficult to set up a film company, and even to make a good film, many people are sure to make it.

But everyone makes money, and the probability is basically zero.

Moreover, if the first two or three films make money, the investment in the film will inevitably increase. If one film suffers a big loss, even a Hollywood giant may face the risk of bankruptcy.
