Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 415 The Best of Both Worlds
Ye Xiaoli just calculated the commission earned by helping Chu Xiangqian buy a house.

There are also decoration, reconstruction, and even future expansion and heightening projects if they can be obtained.

It is foreseeable that the profit in the second half of this year is likely to exceed 20.

If Boss Chu is still interested in the business of acquiring old buildings next year, he may earn 60 to [-] yuan in commissions and engineering projects in one year.

This is at least double the amount of money I made in a year when I partnered with my eldest brother in the past.

Ye Xiaoli suddenly felt that he had done the right thing in scheming against his elder brother last night.

After seeing off Huang Weixin, Chu Xiangqian picked up the phone and called the Yau Ma Tei plainclothes room, asking San Jiangshui to prepare for the night and take him to see Ge Bai and Eastern District Commander Turner Ares.

In the evening, Chu Qianqian, Ge Bai, Turner, and San Jiangshui sat on the yacht on the sea in Shau Kei Wan Typhoon Shelter, eating delicacies cooked by the chef of the branch with integrity, drinking tiger bone wine, and just chatting for half an hour.

It was determined that San Jiangshui would be the sergeant of Chai Wan Police Station, that is, the detective.

"Chu, I have to toast you."

Chu Qianqian looked at Ge Bai unexpectedly. He looked as if he was marrying his wife tonight and was always in a good mood.

I heard Turner say with a hint of envy in his tone, "Chu, we are already friends, right?"

Chu Xiangqian knew immediately that something must have happened.

Seeing his confused look, Turner explained, "You probably haven't paid attention to the reports on the London Grade 9 horse racing event. It's 4 a.m. London time today, which is [-] p.m. Hong Kong time today.

One of the director's blood horses won the championship in the 4000-meter race on the London Grade [-] track. "

Chu Qianqian became more and more surprised.

Although the sweat horses sold to people like Ge Bai are stronger than the sweat horses in the real world, they are only the sweat horses produced in the game, and their measurements can only be regarded as average and inferior.

I didn’t expect that even with this, I could still become a champion.

When Ge Bai explained that he had found a semi-retired rider in his 40s who could no longer compete on the Level 1 track, he was responsible for training and taming the horse for more than a month. Unexpectedly, he actually ran a championship.

Only then did Chu Xiangqian realize that the horses he had sold still had room for improvement.

It's normal when you think about it. After all, they are 3-year-old horses that have just grown up. They are properly trained and have an experienced rider.

In addition, sweat horses are known for their endurance, so it seems normal to win a championship on a 4-meter track.

He raised his glass and said to Ge Bai, "Congratulations."

Ge Bai laughed loudly. Just by running a championship, the value of the horse would at least double.

If you sell it directly now, it can be sold for less than 15 pounds.

It only cost £5.

This time there was no need for Chu Xiangqian to take out an upgraded sweat horse and go to the track to run for several championships.

Horse owners like Ge Bai, who have bought dozens of blood-blooded horses from themselves, basically have no doubts about the potential of the horses they provide.

As for the first-level championship, we can look forward to it, but even if we fail, no one will say anything.

After all, how could such a good horse be bought for just £5?

Of course, buying horses depends on luck and vision, and it is a huge gamble.

Fortunately, Ge Bai and the others' original purpose was to cultivate a herd of bloody horses.

Winning the championship is an unexpected surprise.

As expected, Turner pestered Chu Xiangqian and wanted to buy one or two sweat horses.

He even hinted that if he was given a bloody horse, the position of Inspector Chaiwan would belong to Sanjiangshui.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head after thinking about it. In the eyes of outsiders, it was too obvious to use ghosts to oppress the Chinese.

I would rather sell a bloody horse to Turner, and then take the money Turner gave me and give it to the current detective in Chai Wan.

"I still have 8 sweat horses in the stables at Happy Valley Racecourse. But one of them has been ordered. You can choose the remaining 7 horses. They only cost 7 pounds each."

Turner was delighted. It was no secret that the previous auction had a minimum price of 8 pounds and an average of more than 4 pounds.

Selling one to myself for 7 pounds is enough to give me face.

After all, the discount of only 1.4 pounds is already 22 Hong Kong dollars.

The next morning, Chu Xiangqian had just made an appointment with Turner to watch horses at Happy Valley Racecourse.

Unexpectedly, Lei Luo and Baifanyu came with Turner.

After saying hello to Turner and chatting for a few words, Chu let the ghost go to the stable to choose a horse. Chu looked forward at Lei Luo and Bai Fanyu, the married couple.

"Uncle, where are you and Brother Luo?"

Baifanyu laughed and said, "Achu, I am also joining in the fun. I thought that since the horse bought by the director can run a championship, then given my relationship with you, you can't sell me a bad horse, right?" "

Chu Qianqian rolled his eyes at the old guy, "Raising horses is very troublesome, and if the horse looks good in all aspects, it may not be able to get a ranking.

This requires the cooperation of experienced horse trainers and riders, and a bit of luck. "

"Then Aluo and I just buy a horse for fun," Baifanyu said with a smile, "You don't know, because the horse of Aluo and his division chief won a championship in London, and everyone in the police station was Everyone is talking about horse racing.

If that guy Yan Tong had bought a racehorse first, he would have stolen all the limelight. "

After Chu Xiangqian heard this, he looked at Lei Luo. The guy shrugged, "Anyone can take the limelight, but we can't let Yan Tong take the lead."

Only then did Chu Xiangqian confirm that Lei Luo really wanted to buy a horse.

After thinking for a while, he said, "Forget about this batch of horses. I'll have a good horse flown over, but the price is a bit expensive."

When Baifanyu and Lei Luo heard this change, not only were they not angry, but they nodded in surprise.

Chu Xiangqian said this, then either don’t buy it, or if you want to buy it, buy a good horse.

As for the price, instead of spending 7 to 8 pounds to buy a horse that Chu Xiangqian doesn’t think is good, it would be better to spend 15 pounds to get it right in one go.

I made an appointment to ask them to come over and watch the horses as soon as they were delivered.

The topic soon turned to Inspector Chai Wan.

"Achu, do you really plan to promote your senior brother like this? He rose to the position too quickly, which may not be a good thing."

Chu Xiangqian knew that Lei Luo had good intentions, "Shau Kei Wan has Chen Xijiu, and Chai Wan has Sanjiang water. As neighbors, the two brothers can take care of each other."

After hearing this, Lei Luo and Bai Fanyu knew what Chu Xiangqian meant.

Chen Xijiu, nicknamed the Flattery Emperor, has really accomplished nothing except playing football.

Even the affairs of Shau Kei Wan Police Station are basically ignored.

When Chu Xiangqian mentioned Chen Xijiu at this time, he was implying that Sanjiangshui would only stay in Chai Wan from now on and focus on the dock project.

In this case, Lei Luo will not only not object, but will try his best to promote this matter.

Not long after, Turner came back with a smile, pointed at the two black sweat horses and said to Chu Qianqian, "Chu Sheng, I want these two." Chu Qianqian looked at Turner unexpectedly and saw that his face was filled with tears. With a smile, he quickly guessed that maybe this guy paid the stable boy who was responsible for taking care of these horses.

Only then did I know that these two all-black sweat-blooded horses were the two best performing horses among the eight horses.

Chu Qianqian nodded calmly and asked someone to call the lawyer from the racecourse to help Turner register the ownership of the two horses.

Then, just like those guys from Ge Bai, Turner, the ghost guy, really gave me cash.

Chu Xiangqian didn't care. Anyway, the anti-corruption people on Hong Kong Island couldn't find him.

Even if he knows how to check, he still has plenty of reasons to pass it by.

This is the advantage of not having a public official position. However, Ge Bai and the others received the money but did not dare to deposit it in the bank.

£14 times 16 equals 224 million.

After Chu Qianqian finished handing over to Turner, he sent away Turner who was holding the two horses, thinking that he would be flown back to England today.

Then he exported 150 million Hong Kong dollars, packed it in a box, and said to Lei Luo and Bai Fanyu, "Let's have lunch together and chat with Lai Gen Yuan from Chai Wan?"

Baifanyu waved his hand and said, "You have business, so just leave me alone."

Chu Xiangqian was thinking about buying more dried sweet potatoes or other grains from grain merchants in Luzon Island.

Pulling the white rice fish and not letting him go.

Lei Luo's heart moved, "Achu, your sister is here. We didn't give her a call, so we might as well call your sister at noon. I'll call Lan Gang and his wife.

And Fei Bo and his three wives were having lunch together at my house. "

Chu Xiangqian naturally had no objection.

But before leaving, I made a phone call.

After get off work in the afternoon, a stable boy at the stable was hit by a drunkard riding a motorcycle and broke his leg as he left the racetrack.
-
At Lei Luo's house in Mid-Levels at noon, Ai Yuan followed Chu Qianqian nervously. He looked at the two glass emperor green jade bracelets given by Bai Yuechang and wondered whether he should accept them.

Chu Xiangqian looked at Lei Luo and Bai Yuechang with some surprise.

Secretly, this couple is really willing to give up.

Although jadeite has not yet become popular these days, the price is not too expensive compared to other gemstones.

But the imperial green + glass species, no matter what era, represents rarity and excellence.

If this pair of bracelets is kept for decades, tens of millions will definitely be needed.

Even now, it costs almost 20 Hong Kong dollars.

He nodded to Aiyuan and said specifically, "You have to thank my sister-in-law properly. These bracelets cost at least 20 Hong Kong dollars. And money is not the most important thing."

Some of the best gems can't be bought even if you have money.If it were me, I wouldn't be willing to wear it from now on. If I hide it in my house for decades, it might be worth millions. "

Chu Xiangqian didn't say it was worth tens of millions, lest even if he thought so, the people present wouldn't believe it.

On the contrary, talking about millions, not only Aiyuan will cherish it very much in the future, Lei Luo and Bai Yuechang will also have face.

Seeing Chu Xiangqian say this, Bai Yuechang simply put it on Aiyuan's wrist without losing her smile.

He pulled the nervous little girl and said with a smile, "Yuanyuan, don't listen to your brother, these jewelry are just for wearing."

Aiyuan nodded politely, but his hands were very careful.

After all, the eldest brother said, at least 20 Hong Kong dollars. If one of these is broken, wouldn't you be heartbroken?
Later, Lan Gang's daughter-in-law, Ye Baoying, gave Aiyuan a diamond necklace. Fei Bo's three daughters-in-law seemed to be competing with each other, and all they gave were earrings.

When we arrived at Baifanyu, the old man gave us the car keys directly.

Last year's Jaguar convertible sports car, Feifei, a girl, wanted to buy it a few months ago, but Chu Xiangqian didn't want to buy it. Unexpectedly, it would appear in Aiyuan's hands now.

Aiyuan was a little confused when he came to have a meal and received 40 Hong Kong dollars.

After dinner, when Aiyuan was dragged by Bai Yuechang and the other five people to drink tea and chat, Chu Xiangqian handed the box containing 5 million Hong Kong dollars to Lai Genyuan, who had been silent.

"Sir Lai, thank you."

Lai Genyuan shook his head with emotion, "If Chu Sheng really wants to thank me, how about helping me by transferring me to the Marine Police or the Customs?"

Chu Xiangqian was stunned, this was really a solution.

In fact, Lai Genyuan's age does not count. He is just in his early 50s, and he still has several years before retirement.

I told Sanjiang Shui before that I was angry about taking money to immigrate. After all, anyone can do well as a detective. Suddenly there is someone who I can't refuse and says that he is interested in my position, and I will feel resentful in my heart. .

"Inspector of the Eastern District Marine Police, how do you think?"

Lai Genyuan was overjoyed. Although the Marine Police's reputation was incomparable to that of a detective, the position of a Chinese inspector at the level of a Chinese inspector was not something he could even think about if he was not very capable.

And being an inspector is equivalent to being the commander of a marine police ship, and there are a lot of things you can do here.

If anyone wants to take away the goods, they have to pay in advance when the police patrol.

Or when patrolling, we encounter fishing boats shipping goods, ranging from tens of thousands to several thousand.

The amount of oil and water caught in a year is quite a lot, not even more than the oil and water in places like Chai Wan where birds don’t poop.

Lei Luo was also happy when he saw that Chu Qianqian had promised to be an inspector.

No matter how much he said, Lai Genyuan was still one of his own. Taking money to immigrate seemed justified in appearance, but in fact he still gave in to Chu Xiangqian.

Now Lai Genyuan has been promoted to Inspector. Even if he goes to the Marine Police, he will still be promoted high.

Outsiders not only don't talk nonsense, but they also have to look high at Lei Luo, and at the same time, the people below him can also appease their hearts.

Lai Genyuan hurriedly pushed the box containing 150 million back to Chu Qianqian.

Chu Qianqian smiled and waved his hand, "I'll transfer you to the Eastern District Marine Police, but no matter what, I'm taking away your position as Inspector Chai Wan. You have to accept the money."

Lai Genyuan was stunned, while Lan Gang rolled his eyes and said with a smile, "Brother Gen, A Chu told you to keep it, so just keep it. Wait until you wear two stars on your shoulders.

Why don't you thank Achu for helping you so much? "

Only then did Lai Genyuan realize that when his transfer was completed, he would return the 150 million, so that everyone would have face.

However, in that case, it seems that just paying back 150 million is a bit small.

After all, the inspector of the Eastern District Marine Police is much better than a police sergeant in Chai Wan.

Lai Genyuan cursed in his heart, saying that he would have to pay at least 250 million in return.

After all, it's a blessing to be able to transfer 100 million to be an inspector.

However, although Lai Genyuan was scolding Chu Xiangqian for being shrewd in his heart, he actually didn't mean to be angry at all.

Sure enough, within a few days, after receiving the transfer order, this guy came to the door with 250 million.

In other words, Chu Qianqian helped San Jiangshui take the position of Chai Wan detective, not only did he spend no money, but he also made a profit of 100 million Hong Kong dollars.
