Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 319

When Chu Xiangqian heard that the people from the Jockey Club really said hello to Hader, they refused to let him get stuck in the dog racing track with big and small horses.

Not only was he not angry, he actually laughed.

Although the Jockey Club is difficult, it is better than not knowing who the opponent is.

Chu Xiangqian interrupted Hader directly, "The Jockey Club will not give you any benefits, and they will not hire you as a director of the Jockey Club. Why do you have to listen to them so much?"

Hader knew that Chu Xiangqian was trying to sow discord, but he also felt that what he said was right.

The directors of the Jockey Club are basically all rich British people. Naturally, they will not let the British officials in the Hong Kong government compete with them for the management rights of the Jockey Club.

Hader hesitated for a while before continuing, "Even if I help you put pressure on the Development Agency to approve the dog racing project.

But there will still be a lot of trouble waiting for the two Mr. Ma in the future. "

Chu Xiangqian smiled nonchalantly and said, "What does future trouble have to do with me? Besides, trouble is a good thing, right?"

Hader knew what Chu Xiangqian was thinking. The more trouble Big Ma had, the more times he would send money.

Hader sighed and said, "Chu, some money is not so easy to get. Just because the Jockey Club can't suppress it this time, it doesn't mean that they will really sit back and watch the dog racing project and steal the attention and benefits of horse racing."

Chu Qianqian said with a smile, "Then tell the people at the Jockey Club to stop the big horses and start dog racing now. Their losses are actually not big.

When they are almost ready and have invested enough money, it will be called a one-hit kill.

Only in this way can we truly eliminate potential competitors. "

Hader was stunned and secretly thought that this kid is really insidious.

But he came back to his senses within a few seconds. Risks and opportunities coexisted.Once the preparations for the event are almost complete, the determination of the big and small horses will become greater.

If these two guys take the risk, I believe that even the directors of the Jockey Club will not really sacrifice themselves for the Jockey Club.

After all, the Jockey Club makes it clear that it is not their private property.

And everything is almost ready, there will definitely be someone willing to help them and take the opportunity to invest in the greyhound racing project.

Maybe there are Jockey Club directors among them.

"Chu, you are this one." After saying this, Hader gave Chu a thumbs up.

Chu smiled forward, knowing that Hader had read his mind.

"If I were a director of the Jockey Club, I would probably set up an offshore fund to invest in the greyhound racing project. In this way, I would be a director of the Jockey Club and a shareholder in the greyhound racing project.

The money earned by greyhound racing belongs to them.Why do we have to stop such a good thing?Besides, you can actually buy shares secretly. "

Hader's eyes lit up and he nodded quickly, "I'll call Bridge, the executive director of the Jockey Club, and we'll have a detailed chat later."

Half an hour later, when Chu Xiangqian was chatting with Hader about the design of Donglong Island Resort and Golf Course, he saw Bridge knocking on the door in a hurry and walking in.

As soon as he saw Chu Qianqian, he asked, "Chu, are you sure that Mr. Ma, the two Mr. Ma, is willing to let us take shares?"

Chu Qianqian asked with a smile, "If you were a big pony, when faced with a strong competitor, would you fight head-on with the opponent? Or would you develop a strong opponent into a collaborator?"

Bridge was stunned for a moment, then laughed.

There is no need to mention this issue at all. As long as the dog racing project is almost ready, the relationship will be blocked and the opening will not be allowed.

I believe that even if Little Ma doesn't want to, they can only hold their noses and admit it.

As long as he can invest in shares, Bridge will have enough confidence to squeeze the big and small horses out of the management and decision-making levels.

By then, even if the directors of the Jockey Club do not hold many shares, they will have management and decision-making power. Not only do they have power, it will not be easy to make money.

Even though I make a lot of money here, I say to the outside world that I have been losing money.

Then come up with a development plan and require all shareholders to pour money into the dog racing project.

It would be better if you don't want to pay.

If you contribute money yourself, you will definitely be able to continue to get more shares.

It only takes three or five times, and maybe this project can be completely controlled by people like myself.

After Bridger got excited, he also knew not to give Chu Xiangqian any benefit. If he helped Da Ma get the approval, he might turn around and run to remind Da Ma.

Even get involved in person.

Once someone like him disrupts the situation, even if his side wins in the end, there is a high probability that both sides will suffer.

After thinking for a while, Bridge asked in a low voice, "Chu, I heard that you are planning to build a horse farm. How about cooperating with the Jockey Club?"

Chu Xiangqian immediately became interested and asked with a smile, "There is no problem in cooperation. Your Jockey Club is mainly engaged in events and betting. My horse farm is responsible for horse nutrition and horse breeding.

They are complementary, and there is no direct conflict of interest. There is indeed a basis for cooperation.

However, I am not a stupid little pony, so don’t fool me with useless things. "

Bridge smiled and said "no" repeatedly but cursed in his heart.

But Chu Xiangqian was right. Racecourses and horse farms are indeed complementary.

Otherwise, Chu Qianqian's horse farm will definitely encounter the same troubles as big and small horses.

Bridge thought for a while and said, "In this way, the capacity of the Jockey Club's stables is no longer enough to provide sufficient logistical services for all members' horses.

After your horse farm is completed, as long as it meets the Jockey Club's standards, we will designate your horse farm as the Jockey Club's only partner.

Just for future new members and new horse owners of the Jockey Club, you can raise your favorite horses at your horse farm.

No matter how much you earn in a year, at least you will definitely not need to pay a dime for all the expenses of your horse farm in the future. "

Chu Qianqian thought for a while and couldn't help but nodded. The cost of raising a horse would never be less than the cost of a luxury car.

Just renting an independent stable from the Jockey Club costs HK$12 a year.

Of course, this money also includes various labor costs, feed, veterinary medical examinations, etc.

And the stable area is not small, enough to keep 20 horses.

But the annual cost of a single horse is actually higher.

Not counting future inflation, a horse kept at the Jockey Club will cost at least HK$1 a year.Of course, that's the cost of a thoroughbred.

If you replace it with a worthless horse, it will only cost you a few hundred or a thousand dollars a year.

But even so, it's almost equal to half a year's or one year's salary.

In other words, ordinary people cannot afford to keep a thoroughbred horse, let alone buy one.

If you raise thirty or fifty horses from Jockey Club members in your own horse farm, it will indeed be enough to offset the annual private expenses of the horse farm.

If hundreds of horses are raised, the horse farm will only become richer and richer.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian can also obtain a large amount of fresh and high-quality fodder from the Novice Village. Just by selling these fodder, he will definitely make a lot of money every year.

In addition, those sweat horses of my own do not need to eat fodder transported by air, which can also save a lot of expenses.

However, this was not enough for Chu Xiangqian.

Chu looked forward to Bridge and said, "The horse club is in East Asia. Have you never thought about breeding sweat horses that are very popular in East Asia?"

Bridge rolled his eyes at Chu Qianqian, knowing that this guy was planning to make money by selling blood-blooded horses.

But if you think about it seriously, although sweat is indeed not good in speed races, it is one of the best in endurance races.And it is very popular in Southeast Asia.

If the Jockey Club really has its own blood horse breeding base, it can definitely set up a [-]-meter event in the future, which will be the only one in East Asia.

Even on just a 4-kilometer track, thoroughbreds have to step aside.

In this way, just by promoting and cultivating sweat horses, the Jockey Club's reputation and influence can be expanded.

Once this endurance event ranks first in East Asia, it will also improve the overall level of the Jockey Club.

Maybe in the future we will be able to hold first-level horse racing events.

By then, the Hong Kong Jockey Club will be number one in Asia.

Thinking of this, Bridge was really moved.

However, if you want to convince other directors, in addition to letting them see the benefits, you must at least let everyone see that the sweat horse does have a chance to win the endurance race championship.

After all, there are indeed too few sweat horses on the market.

Many people who love horses have probably never seen a real sweat horse.

I also don’t believe the rumors that people can run 2 or 3 kilometers just by drinking water once a day.

If it is on a 2400-meter track, it can achieve good results.Not to mention the directors, from now on horse owners in the United States and England will also focus part of their attention on their sweaty horses.

After hearing what Bridge said, Chu Xiangqian said with a smile, "Mr. Nelson from the District Department ordered 4 sweat horses from me.

How about waiting for these four horses to arrive, and then we can see their performance on the track and make a decision? "

Bridge naturally had no objection, but considering that Nelson was actually willing to buy four horses at once.

According to the news I heard when I contacted Norton before, this is at least 20 pounds.

For a moment Bridge felt jealous and envious.

Moreover, all the horses that Chu Xiang brought before were kept in the stables of the Jockey Club.

After careful calculation, there seemed to be a total of 32 horses in the front and rear.

Even if it is calculated at 5 pounds per horse, it is still 160 million pounds.

This amount of money is definitely a huge amount of money in this day and age.

Millionaires in the United States are still truly rich. 160 million pounds is 640 million US dollars.

Unfortunately, most of these 32 horses are interest exchanges rather than cash transactions.

Chu Xiangqian could naturally see envy and jealousy in Bridge's expression.

He said with a smile, "I would like to take the 160 million pounds and go directly to London to live a rich life. Unfortunately, the horses I got were all divided by Margaret, Norton, Ge Bai and others."

And all they gave me in return was some land. "

Bridge quickly looked at Hader and saw Hader shrugging, "Chu did not get much cash. But he didn't lose either. I believe you also understand how much appreciation potential the land at the weather station has."

Bridge thought for a few seconds and nodded. The geographical location was indeed excellent, but if a horse farm was not built, who knows how many years it would take to develop the area south of the weather station.

Maybe in 30 to [-] years, there won't be any change there.

But Nelson could buy four blood horses, and Bridge still had objections.

He looked at Hader resentfully, "But you didn't tell me any news."

Hader chuckled, "What you said is wrong, I have no obligation to tell you business secrets.

And if you want to make money, you have to take the initiative. "

After saying that, he curled his lips towards Chu Qianqian. Bridge immediately understood that there was a big benefactor sitting in front of him.

He hurriedly asked Chu Qianqian, "Chu, what do I need to pay to get four sweat horses?"

"£24."

Bridge immediately hesitated, with a pained expression on his face, shook his head and sighed, "Although I know that the four sweat horses are indeed worth the price.

But if I were to buy it in full, it would still affect my cash flow. "

Chu Xiangqian didn't care whether what he said was true or not, he smiled and said, "How about you help me hold an auction. I will bring 10 sweat horses and 10 Arabian horses.

These 20 horses will be auctioned using a model where buyers from the United States will first look and then bid freely.

At the final settlement, you will be given a 5% commission, which is considered as your reward for using your own network and favors to hold this auction. "

Not only Bridge's eyes lit up, but Hader's heart was also moved.

20% of 5 horses is exactly one horse.

This is equivalent to doing a favor and getting a sweat or an Arabian horse in vain.

As for free bidding, it all depends on your eyesight, but if the horse looks good, it will basically sell for a good price.

The horse provided by Chu Xiangqian was tall and thin, with slender limbs, thin skin and fine hair, and a light pace.

Just looking at it makes people have a strong desire to buy.

Bridge just thought about it for more than ten seconds and then said to Chu Xiangqian, "Chu, it may take me half a month to contact the rich people locally and around the world.

But you have to understand that if the 20 blood horses and Arabian horses you offer this time are not good enough, there will not be a second auction in the future.

I would also lose a lot of clients and friends. "

Chu Xiangqian assured directly, "Don't worry, I guarantee that this batch of 20 horses will not be worse than the horses I brought in before.

And they are all 3-year-old horses.In less than a year, this horse will be able to produce offspring. "

Bridge felt relieved.

As the executive director of the Jockey Club, all the horses that Chu Xiangqian kept in the Jockey Club's stables have been examined by the Jockey Club's veterinarians.

Many horses have even been registered directly with the Jockey Club. Bridge has naturally seen the information about these horses.

The two agreed to find a time to hold the first auction after Chu Xiangqian came back from London.

And the location is on the Happy Valley race track.

At that time, jockeys will ride these horses and run around the track at the maximum speed.

And all at the same speed.

One thing that lets you know is that these horses are in good shape and health.

But because he didn't run at full strength, he could only intuitively see which horse was the best.

In this case, it all depends on vision and experience.

For Chu Xiangqian, he can also mix those horses that are not outstanding in three dimensions with one or two good horses and sell them together.

As for the horse with the championship appearance, naturally it can be seen at a glance in the novice village by patting the horse with your hand and based on its three-dimensional attributes.

Then stay in the Novice Village, wait for the right opportunity, and participate in the game.

Get a good ranking and your net worth will increase several times immediately.
