Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 323 I will consider the money matter
Arthur turned around and saw his princess, who was leaning half of her body in Chu Qianqian's arms like a little woman, and it was impossible not to be annoyed.

But after investigating all night last night, I also knew that this matter had nothing to do with Chu Xiangqian.

Even he was a victim.

Then Arthur cursed in his mind, damn the victim.

He nodded helplessly to Chu Qianqian, "You say it, sir."

"Help me ask the room manager named Eve Zheng, if she came to work today?"

Arthur looked at Chu Qianqian with doubtful eyes and saw a mocking smile on his face.

He immediately knew that Chu Xiangqian had guessed that someone was secretly causing trouble.

I could only agree, "Okay, sir, I will help you find out later."

Margaret shook Chu Qianqian's arm slightly in confusion, but Chu Qianqian shook his head and had no intention of explaining.

If Zheng Sufen has no problem, then helping her is also a way of thanking her for telling her about someone trying to drug her last night.

If that woman is really from the British, then it is better to keep her in his sight than to have another female agent appear next to him at some point in the future.

When necessary, he could even use Zheng Sufen to pass on the information he wanted to pass on to the British.

Of course, if it is not absolutely necessary, it is best that this information is not false information.

Otherwise, the agents are not stupid, and they will easily suspect that the person providing the information has ulterior motives.

When the motorcade arrived at the racecourse, before Chu Xiangqian got out of the car, he saw Bridge, Nelson and Hader standing together from a distance, waiting for him.

As soon as Chu Xiangqian got off the car, Hader complained, "Chu, you have to treat us at noon. We have been waiting for you for two and a half hours."

Chu Qian raised his left hand and looked at his watch. It was already 11 o'clock.

He shrugged and said, "No problem. I'll treat you to a seafood dinner at the Shanghai restaurant at noon. How about it?"

Now Bridge and Nelson both became interested. When Margaret called Chu Qianqian and Chu Qianqian helped her out of the car, the three Haders wanted to have lunch even more.

Although Chu Xiangqian was late, the preparations at the racecourse had already been completed.

The group of people went to the auditorium next to the track. Before chatting for a while, four sweat horses were led into the starting gate.

Chu looked forward to Nelson and said with a smile, "These four horses belong to you, you give the orders."

Nelson nodded hurriedly. For these four horses, he gave Chu Xiangqian a full 320 million Hong Kong dollars, plus a commission of 16 Hong Kong dollars.

When I came to see these four horses in the morning, I felt they looked very good. After the veterinary examination, they also determined that the four horses were in excellent condition.

But no matter how good your physical condition is, if you can't run on the track, it's all in vain.

Of course, being a stallion is still okay.

After the four riders signaled they were ready, Nelson gave a thumbs up to the starter who was more than ten meters away.

The other party nodded, pressed the countdown, and a countdown sound sounded.

After a beeping sound was heard, the starting gate suddenly opened.

The four knights kicked the horses in the belly, and the four horses instantly rushed onto the track and started running with all their strength.

Just from the acceleration, experienced people can almost tell that these four horses are at least qualified to be on the track.

As for the final result, of course it depends on the speed of the horse itself and the cooperation of the rider.

Fortunately, the situation was not bad. At the end of the 1600 meters, all four horses ran within 4 minute and 1 seconds.

This result is no worse than the maroon sweat horse that Chu Xiangqian gave to Norton and finally fell into Margaret's hands.

Just after this race, the price of Nelson's four bloody horses has suddenly risen from 20 pounds to 24 pounds, or even 28 pounds.

Nelson was so excited that he wanted to protect Chu Qianqian. Even after Chu Qianqian stopped him with his hands, he still said excitedly, "Chu, you are my God. If anything happens in the future, you are welcome to come to me at any time."

Chu Xiangqian laughed. Except for the porcelain-white horse he gave to Margaret, the three-dimensional attributes of all the horses he sold and gave away were actually not much different.

And running under 1 minute and 47 seconds is actually just enough to qualify for the track.

If you want to achieve a good result, you have to run within 1 minute and 40 seconds without talking a lot.

If you want to win the championship, the previous record at Happy Valley Circuit in Hong Kong was 1 minute, 35 seconds and 67 seconds.

This result is a record, so naturally it is not the norm, but if you want to get the ranking and cannot run under 1 minute and 38 seconds, it is just a dream.

If you want to win the championship, you have to do it within 1 minute and 37 seconds to have a chance.

However, the Happy Valley track record has been suddenly improved to 1 minute, 34 seconds and 57 seconds by the champion knight.

Many people believe that this record will be difficult to break in the next few years.

After all, real champion horses generally do not come to Hong Kong Island to participate in secondary events with only HK$5.

Moreover, it is common knowledge that thoroughbred horses are faster than sweathorses.

Therefore, it is surprising and surprising that these four sweat horses can run within 47 seconds for the first time on the track.

"Would you like to run another endurance test of 2400 meters or even 4 meters?"

As soon as Bridge finished saying this, before Chu Xiangqian spoke, Nelson directly refused.

"NONONO, to test, I have to wait until my four horses get used to the climate of Hong Kong Island. Otherwise, the risk is too great, and I don't want to risk getting my babies injured."

Chu laughed forward and Bridge just shrugged.

After all, these four horses do already belong to Nelson, and it was the right decision for him not to run another race.

Margaret on the side couldn't help but think of the porcelain-white sweat-blooded horse that Chu Xiangqian gave him.

Pulling Chu's forward arm, he asked, "My dear, how long will it take for the pure white sweat horse you gave me to be delivered?"

Hader, Nelson and Bridge were stunned for a moment, and then they looked at Margaret with envy and a proud expression on her face.

It's a pity that this girl is a princess. Let alone buying it by force, even if the price exceeds the market price by [-] to [-]%, she won't sell it.

He could only look at Chu Qianqian expectantly.

Chu spread his hands forward and said, "Don't look at me like that. In order to find the porcelain-white sweat-blooded horse, I formed 11 horse teams and spent half a month running through dozens of tribes before I found the horse. information.

Finally, the horse was found in a small tribe near the desert. "

Then Chu looked forward and looked at Margaret, “There is no airport over there, my people have to lead the horse through Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and Tajikistan before entering the Celestial Kingdom.

Moreover, the west side of the sky is too big, so it takes a lot of time to reach the airport.

Calculating the distance, the cavalry should have entered the Celestial Empire by now.If it is fast, it will take a few days; if it is slow, it may take half a month. "

Margaret immediately became unhappy, but she was not an unreasonable person. She was unhappy in her heart. She just pouted without losing her temper, and she didn't show any face to Chu Qianqian.

"Oh, if it really takes half a month, it doesn't mean that by the time the horse arrives on Hong Kong Island, we will have already returned to London to watch the champion knight compete in the first leg of the Triple Crown. We will wait until the horse is shipped to London , have to wait another ten days and a half?”

Chu Xiangqian finally came to his senses. The first leg of the Triple Crown was indeed only a few days away.

After careful calculation, I had to rush there three days in advance, so I could only carry it with me on Hong Kong Island for three to five days at most.

This is not possible, Chu Xiangqian pretended to think, "Then I will send a message to the leader of the cavalry team when I get back and ask them to contact the private jet.

It should only take two or three days to ship. "

Margaret's face lit up, and then she remembered that Chu Xiangqian spent more than 30 US dollars to find this horse.

Margaret felt sick just thinking about spending such a large amount of money as a gift to herself.

But when she refused, this girl couldn't bear it, and couldn't wait any longer.

He asked weakly, "Wouldn't that cost a lot of extra money?"

Chu Qianqian laughed. It didn't cost any money anyway, so he could release it whenever he wanted. He could just drive the carriage and drive around the dock.

"As long as you are happy, the money issue is something I should consider."

After saying this, Margaret wanted to throw herself into Chu Qianqian's arms.

Several bodyguards including Hader, Nelson, Bridge and Arthur couldn't help but secretly give Chu Qianqian a thumbs up.

He secretly thought that it was no wonder Margaret was so enamored of him. This was a gift that could be resold for at least 15 pounds, or even 20 pounds.

Moreover, sweat-blooded horses are originally rare, and pure white and golden ones are even rarer.

In European and American horse markets, there have been no sales records of blood horses of these two colors for many years.

And scarcity means more expensive. Coupled with the blessing of good looks, if you meet a super rich man who wants to give his daughter an adult gift, the price may be 30 pounds.

This price is no more expensive than the price of some thoroughbred champion horses in second-level competitions.

Moreover, the price of an ordinary blood horse of 5 pounds is actually very high.

But although there are many purebred horses in the market, bloodhorses rarely appear. Even if some people are willing to spend money, there is no way to buy them.

Of course, this has a lot to do with the fact that although Turkmenistan has not publicly banned the export of sweat horses, in fact it is difficult for Europeans and Americans to enter Turkmenistan, which has a lot to do with it.

At this time, Turkmenistan has actually been a member of the Red Polar Bears for decades. In other words, Turkmenistan is now the territory of the Red Polar Bears.

It would be strange for Europeans and Americans to just rush over and buy sweaty horses.

Maybe there are people in Polar Bear now, investigating whether there is anyone illegally selling blood horses in Turkmenistan, Uzbekistan and other places.

At noon, a group of people plus a dozen bodyguards boarded a 30-meter medium-sized tourist boat called Haiqizhen.

Taking advantage of the windy weather and the low sun, Chu Xiangqian asked the boatman to place a long table on the sightseeing plywood on the second floor.

Then he took Margaret to see the various seafood kept on the boat and caught last night.

At a glance, I saw an Eastern Star Spot weighing at least 30 pounds.

Chu Xiangqian asked immediately, "No one has ordered this fish, right?"

The boatman's face lit up and he shook his head hurriedly, "This was collected from a fisherman just this morning. I haven't even had time to call an old customer."

Chu Xiangqian didn't even ask the price now, "Okay, just this fish. Get some fresh seafood, it'll be enough to eat."

The boatman nodded hurriedly. Sea restaurants like theirs always value repeat customers the most.

“Don’t worry, boss, I guarantee you will be satisfied with your meal without wasting it.”

At first, Margaret was a little reluctant to take action against Dong Xingban, who was red in color and spotted with stars.

But after the boatman served the food and asked about the aroma, he immediately let go of his worries and imitated Chu Qianqian, Hader and others to use chopsticks to eat fish.

After just one taste, Margaret's eyes lit up, and Chu Xiangqian was worried that she was not used to using chopsticks, so he used spoons and serving chopsticks to pick up food for her from time to time, which made Margaret feel more comfortable eating.

The people at the same table looked at each other, sighed helplessly, and simply put all their thoughts on the delicious food on the table.

While waiting for the check, everyone saw Chu Xiangqian take out a wad of 100 denomination money from his wallet and hand it to the boatman.

He couldn't help but asked out of curiosity, "Chu, how much does this meal cost?"

Chu Qianqian laughed, "The Eastern Star Spot alone costs 2 yuan, and the other seafood combined is about the same price. Add in 1 bottles of 6 Lafite, and a meal costs 58 yuan."

In the future, Eastern Star Spots can be farmed long ago, and the price is about 1, but now these fish are all wild.

Moreover, a fish weighing more than 30 kilograms is rare to see every year, so there is no problem at all.

Several ghost bodyguards were immediately surprised. More than 4 Hong Kong dollars equaled 250 pounds, which was enough for one month's salary.

In my heart, I felt envy, jealousy and hatred towards Chu Xiangqian.

While waiting for the ship to sail back to Victoria Bay from offshore, Chu Qianqian took Margaret and hid in the stern of the first floor of the ship. He hugged the girl from behind and stared at the sea, talking and laughing while watching.

Margaret also leaned her back directly on Chu Qianqian's chest, and was made to giggle by Chu Qianqian's words from time to time.

When we got ashore, this girl probably didn't sleep well last night, so she covered her mouth and yawned when she got in the car.

Chu Xiangqian sent her back to the hotel, while he called Norton and made an appointment to meet at a lawyer's office to sign the sales contract for the mountaintop villa.

Driving his own car, he selected a pearl necklace from the Novice Village warehouse and planned to give it to Norton.

When eating at the Sea Restaurant before, Chu Xiangqian asked Hader, Bridge and others that a mountaintop villa now basically costs 300 to [-] million Hong Kong dollars.

And Norton's villa is 1200 square meters, which is quite large for a mountaintop villa.

Mid-levels are a bit bigger, with many ranging from 1 to 1500 square meters.

Some villas in Deep Water Bay are much larger, and some of the villas in Deep Water Bay are actually built on the mountainside. They are also considered mid-mountain villas.

Also because it is close to the sea, the viewing effect is better.

So Chu Xiangqian estimated that if the villa was really quoted, it should be worth 250 million Hong Kong dollars.

But it is normal for Norton to reduce the price of the villa in order to offset the £50 worth of antiques, paintings and bronzes.

Otherwise, there is no need to think about it, Chu Xiangqian will most likely not agree.

Even if I agree, I will definitely not feel happy.Norton may not have thought of this, but the people around him, as well as his relatives in London, couldn't possibly have known this.

So after Chu Xiangqian took advantage, he thought of returning the favor.

Although a pearl necklace is precious, I really want to spend money to buy it these days. A 14 mm diameter pearl necklace only costs tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars.

But even tens of thousands of Hong Kong dollars is equivalent to a house, which is actually not cheap.

In the future, when pearls can be cultured, prices will plummet.
