Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 366: 121 million pounds sold, a turn of events
The auctioneer took advantage of the lively atmosphere and immediately decided to go on stage to start the auction.

He knocked hard with a wooden hammer and said, "Gentlemen, I am the auctioneer of this auction. The first thing to be auctioned is a pure black sweat horse with four hooves and snow."

As the auctioneer's voice fell, a stable boy walked in, leading a horse on Dark Clouds.

"This sweat horse is 1 meters tall at the withers and weighs 54 kilograms. The starting price is 457 pounds. Each increase in price must not be less than 7 pounds."

As soon as the voice fell, someone raised a sign.

The auctioneer was overjoyed. Although he had previously determined that the possibility of losing the auction for these bloody horses was extremely small, the starting price of 7 pounds was indeed about [-]% higher than the normal price worldwide.

The auction has just started and there are already bids.

It shows that everyone still has a lot of confidence in the vision of the Triple Crown horse owner.

The auctioneer pointed over there and shouted, "7, someone has already bid 7."

Before he finished speaking, he pointed at another person and shouted, "This gentleman bids 7, is there anyone else who bids more?"

In less than 3 minutes, the price of this bloody horse has risen to 9.

At this price, the buyers present were not stupid. Even Ge Bai and others stopped.

There were only two sellers left holding up their signs.

Chu looked forward and saw that one was a desert tyrant, so he basically didn't need to worry about it.

Although these people are not yet extremely wealthy, oil prices have not yet skyrocketed.

But oil diggers, no matter what era, can make money quickly.

As long as you like it, you really don't use money as money.

Another buyer is a woman in her 30s.He couldn't tell much from the clothes, but Chu Xiangqian could still tell that the other party was probably Chinese.

The auctioneer shouted seven or eight times again and again, without causing any offense or making the seller feel that he was irresponsible, and then he shouted, 'Deal'.

"Congratulations to Ms. 19, or to this dark cloud riding on the snow."

Because it was the first horse, it was sold for 9. Everyone present, whether they were buyers or Chu Xiangqian and others, applauded.

The woman who bought the bloody horse also stood up and nodded to everyone in thanks.

When Chu Qianqian saw this, he couldn't help but frown slightly, thinking to himself that this woman was probably not just here to buy horses.

The next nine sweat-blooded horses are basically all around 9, with the cheapest one being a slip-colored sweat-blooded horse.

The most expensive one is a red sweat horse with a shoulder height of 1 meters.

This shoulder height has almost reached the limit in all the sweat and blood.

Coupled with his well-proportioned muscles, he looked extraordinary. In just a dozen bids, he broke 10 pounds.

Finally, the woman who bought the first bloody horse bought it for 11.

And this woman was still the buyer who bought the handsome and bloody horse for 8.

The bloody horse auction ended in the first half, and Chu Qianqian took the initiative to walk towards the lady, "Congratulations, madam."

The woman was also a powerful person and suddenly asked, "Are you congratulating me on buying three sweat horses at once?
Or do you, the owner of a Triple Crown winner and the former owner of an endurance race record holder, know which of these 10 sweat horses is the best? "

As soon as these words came out, everyone around looked at Chu Qianqian.

Chu thought forward for a few seconds and suddenly smiled, "Madam, if I were you, I would pay more attention to that sexy horse. It should give you a surprise on the 2400-meter track."

The people around him were stunned for a moment, and then they all expressed regret.

The sleek horse is only 1 meters tall at the withers. Some two-year-old horses are taller than the three-year-old horse.

In addition, the skin color is not pure red, so few people are willing to bid.

Unexpectedly, this horse turned out to be the most suitable horse among the ten horses to go on the track.

Chu Xiangqian continued to stimulate everyone, "How about taking advantage of the second auction in the afternoon to find a rider and give it a try?"

Everyone immediately realized that this was a Jockey Club and there was a regular track outside.

There is certainly no shortage of riders either.

Although there are no other racehorses to interfere with each other and stimulate the horses' desire to win, the results produced by unfamiliar riders will not be much different from those in official competitions.

The female buyer couldn't help but hesitate when she heard Chu Xiangqian's words.

If you fail to run well, the value of the three horses you bought may drop by [-]% or [-]% immediately.

Of course, if it is true as what Chu Xiangqian said, the value will definitely rise.

Chu Qianqian was secretly happy, looked at the woman and said, "It hasn't been delivered yet. If you are willing, I will bear the consequences."

When the woman and the people around her heard this, they immediately gave Chu Qianqian a thumbs up.

"My name is Wattana-Lee, Thai-Chinese."

Chu Xiangqian was immediately interested. Land privatization in Thailand was extremely high, and the big landowners were almost equal to the local emperors.

Moreover, the possibility of wealthy people participating in politics is extremely high. Basically, senior officials in every place are the richest people in the local area.

However, thinking about the next few years, due to the US invasion of Vietnam, the situation in Thailand will be chaotic for many years, and Chu Xiangqian is afraid to invest in Thailand.

As for tourism, even Europeans and Americans only started to set their sights on Thailand in the 8s and 90s.

When investing in Thailand at this time, it seems that you can only invest in land.

After thinking about it, Chu Xiangqian thought to himself that he might as well forget it.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian has now determined that this woman took the risk to photograph three sweaty horses and was definitely not a pure horse racing enthusiast.

Otherwise, a normal person would not buy even the least promising horse at a price of [-] to [-] pounds higher than the market price.

Chu nodded forward, "Nice to meet you, Ms. Li."

Wattana could naturally hear the slight alienation in Chu Xiangqian's tone, which made her helpless and a little annoyed.

If it were Thailand, if someone treated him so perfunctorily, he would definitely make the other person look good.

If you want to invest in Hong Kong, as is the custom of the Chinese, you must first be familiar with the local conditions, and at the same time hope to cooperate with local powerful people.

After thinking for a while, Wattana decided to see if the sexy horse was really as good as Chu Xiangqian said and could perform well on the track.

When everyone saw her nodding, they immediately walked out happily in twos and threes.

Linda walked up to him worriedly and asked, "Honey, are you really sure?"

Chu Qianqian laughed. These horses were all selected by him from the novice village. He could know the three-dimensional data of the horses just by taking a picture.

Sure enough, half an hour later, the sweaty horse ran a time of 2 minutes, 29 seconds and 21 seconds, which was basically close to the Hong Kong Island race record of 2400 meters.

Just from this run, the horse's value immediately exceeded 10 or 12 pounds.

Hundreds of customers around her all felt sorry and regretful, while Wattana and the two people around her jumped up excitedly.

If this horse is brought back to Thailand, it might be able to win a championship, and by then the family's reputation locally and nationally will be greatly enhanced.

Looking at Chu Qianqian's target, it was soft, but seeing Linda obediently staying beside Chu Qianqian, Wattana felt depressed.

Although she thinks she is also a beauty, she is still in her 30s, and compared to Linda in height and figure, she is immediately down a level.

If Alisa were here, Wattana might not be able to think about comparison at all.Thinking again about the relationship between Chu Xiangqian and Margaret, Wattana shook his head helplessly, walked to Chu Xiangqian, stretched out his hand and said, "Thank you."

Chu Qianqian laughed, but said deliberately, "As long as you are satisfied, if you encounter trouble in Xiangjiang, just come to me directly."

As for whether she really helps, it depends on the sincerity of the woman.

Wattana understood immediately upon hearing this that Chu Qianqian must have guessed what he was thinking.

He smiled bitterly and said, "Maybe it won't be long before I really have to trouble Mr. Chu."

Chu Qianqian nodded indifferently and would do the work if he was given the money.

Or it’s okay to give her something you need and help her.

As for his identity as a Chinese, it was basically useless in front of Chu Xiangqian.

Of course, if ordinary Chinese people are in trouble, they will naturally help if they can.

But Vata is a very wealthy person at first glance, and when they encounter trouble, it is by no means a small trouble.

But he still said, "It doesn't matter. If you have any trouble on Hong Kong Island, just come to me."

Wattana then smiled and nodded, said thank you again, and took the people to the horse meeting to deliver the three bloody horses.

The people around him suddenly became more enthusiastic about the auction.

More than a dozen desert tycoons also gathered together and had a heated discussion.

They also bought 10 of the 2 sweat horses in the morning, but they were not very interested in the Arabian horses in the afternoon.

After all, wild beasts, Arabian horses and falcons have always been standard equipment for wealthy desert families.

Some families even own thousands of Arabian horses.

Therefore, in their minds, the best Arabian horses in the world must only exist in desert areas.

But with the performance of the slippery horse just now, no one doubted Chu's forward gaze.

Therefore, the Arabian horses that can be selected by him and put up for auction are at least of a good grade.

After the shooting started at 2 p.m., the enthusiasm of these desert tycoons really increased.

Chu Xiangqian, Bridge, and the consultants and experts from the Jockey Club, with their participation, the horse that was previously valued at around 2 pounds was auctioned for 3 pounds.

Dozens of participants could only helplessly shake their heads and watch these dozen Arabs compete with themselves.

But for Chu Xiangqian, it was naturally a big profit.

At the end of the auction, 20 horses were sold for a total of 121 million pounds.

After deducting Bridge's 5% commission, as well as the venue hiring fee, Chu Xiangqian's staff bonuses finally amounted to a total of 114 million pounds.

When Bridge handed the check to Chu Xiangqian, he said, "Chu, buyers are so after your horse that they will come here every year from now on. Is that okay?"

Chu shrugged forward, "If you don't mind the trouble, there will be no problem with two races a year. And my people are already paying attention to the Andalusian, Hanoverian and Quarter Horse.

In the first half of the year, three purebred races will be held, and in the second half, there will be a warmblood horse race. "

Bridge was overjoyed. Because of the performance of the slippery horse today, it is conceivable that if the Hong Kong Jockey Club holds such auctions in the future, it will attract more potential buyers.

Unlike today's auction, those who came to the auction were basically buyers invited by the Jockey Club's network.

Even among the local wealthy people in Hong Kong Island, only three or four people participated.

As for Ge Bai and the others, they were both excited and regretful at the same time.

They were excited because the value of the bloody horses in their hands had increased by at least [-]%.The reasons for regret are more depressing than other buyers.

In their eyes, that horse's sweat and blood are nothing compared to the sweat and blood they have.

But I don't want everyone to be blinded, and the Thai people will take advantage of it.

Seeing Chu Qianqian and Bridge together, Ge Bai, Nelson, Charles, Hahn, Blair and Lucas hurried over.

"Chu, you are being too cunning."

Chu Qianqian laughed, and he realized that he had indeed brought out the flirtatious horse on purpose, just to raise the topic.

News that someone picked up and missed will definitely spread better. After all, everyone has the mentality of taking advantage.

I just didn’t expect to be missed by Wattana.

Charles glanced at Linda, smiled and reminded, "Chu, I believe you can see what that woman is thinking, right?"

Chu nodded forward, "Don't worry, it's just a wealthy man who wants to invest in Hong Kong Island. He wants to get to know local celebrities before investing. By the way, he can buy one or two good horses back to show off his face."

And this is a good thing for us. "

When everyone heard this, they couldn't help laughing.

Before today, most people would not have paid attention to Wattana and her family's investment in Hong Kong Island.

But now, if there is a chance, these ghost guys don't mind taking the initiative to cause them some trouble.

After all, this is a wealthy family who spent a lump sum of 28.4 pounds.

Naturally, Chu Xiangqian would not pay special attention to Wattana and the family behind her. If outsiders want to enter an area to grab business, they are competing for the market with local businessmen.

It would be weird not to cause trouble for them.

But correspondingly, if Hong Kong people want to invest in Thailand, they will have a lot of troubles.

Ge Bai finally said, "Then let's take a look first?"

Others hurriedly looked at Chu Qianqian. After all, Wattana himself said that he was of Chinese descent.

Chu shrugged forward, "Don't look at me like that, there are so many Chinese and Chinese-Americans, and I don't want to know them all.

Besides, the local businessmen are getting so much money from you by taking cards. I just want to say, if you have a good opportunity, remember to bring me with you. "

Several ghost guys couldn't help laughing, "Chu, you are now a qualified capitalist.

However, if there are good investment projects in London, you have to remember us old friends. "

Chu Qianqian thought, secretly thinking that Bridge was talking about the building in Knightsbridge, right?

Pretending to be confused, he asked, “What are some good investment opportunities?”

Seeing that he was still pretending to be confused, Bridge and others said with a smile, "Chu, don't forget that Nelson and the others stayed in the Simmons hotel for 6 days.

And Mr. Simmons has two brothers and several nephews and nieces. We don’t need to take the initiative to inquire, and some things will come to our ears. "

Fake, Chu Qianqian couldn't help but curse in his heart.

But if you think about it seriously, you will know that the secret fight between the three Simmons brothers is inevitable.

Even if the three brothers have a good relationship, the third generation may not be able to talk about family ties.

For the sake of inheritance, there will definitely be a lot of bloodshed in the future.

After Chu Xiangqian sighed secretly, he seriously considered the possibility of working together to build a five-star hotel in Knightsbridge, London.
