Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 755 No wonder he is so good at making money
When Lan Gang realized that he didn't have to pay for it alone, he immediately pulled Fei Bo, who was confused, aside and started muttering.

Because Chu Xiangqian's hearing had been enhanced, he could easily hear what the two were talking about.

When he heard that Lan Gang had asked Fei Bo and Lei Luo to join in and contribute money to lobby Brigadier General Dawson and Hader of the Political Affairs Department, he almost laughed out loud.

But if you think about it carefully, it does seem a bit unreasonable for Lan Gang to pay for it alone.

When Fei Bo heard that he also had to pay a share of the money, he was surprised at first, thinking that Lan Gang was talking nonsense, and then he started cursing.

But after being fooled and frightened by Lan Gang, he felt that this guy was right.

If we all contribute some money, we can deal with that group of people sooner rather than later and feel at ease.

But the fat man felt sorry for his money and rolled his eyes.

He suggested that Lan Gang go find Lei Luo first, and trick Lei Luo into thinking that he had received reliable information that the gang had targeted several gold shops in Central, and even some wealthy people in Mid-Levels to scare Lei Luo.

By then, not only will Lei Luo, the man who occupies the most lucrative place in Hong Kong Island, get the most money, but given Lei Luo's petty character, that guy will definitely pass on the money he has to pay to all the detectives in Hong Kong, big and small, and even to the gang leaders.

At that time, Lei Luo, Lan Gang and his Fei Bo will not only not have to spend any money, but will also make a profit.

Chu Xiangqian thought to himself that the fat guy had so many tricks up his sleeve. No wonder it only took him, Lan Gang and Lei Luo seven or eight years to become worth over 100 million yuan.

When Lei Luo retired, he was known as the detective with a salary of 5 million, which was an astronomical figure at the time.

Lan Gang's story is even more exaggerated. In the real world, he became Inspector General in 58, Chief Chinese Inspector in 64, and retired in 69, four or five years earlier than Lei Luo.

But when he retired, he was known as the 4 million detective.

Moreover, Lei Luo took the position of Chief Chinese Inspector five or six years earlier than Lan Gang.

In other words, when it comes to the ability to make money, one Lan Gang is worth two Lei Luos.

Moreover, even though Lei Luo knew that Lan Gang was looking for him to share the expenses of the case, he did not dare to neglect him.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be afraid of the eventuality.

If a wealthy person really was kidnapped, or if something like Zhou Dasheng's three-story main store in Central was robbed, then even if Chief Chinese Inspector Lei Luo was not dismissed, he would definitely have to pay a heavy price to escape this.

Instead of giving large sums of money to the foreigners after something happens, it is better to pay some money in advance and go to Ge Bai to complain together with Lan Gang and Fei Bo.

After all, these were professional soldiers from South Vietnam, and with a number of forty or fifty people, they were definitely not an enemy that the police could deal with.

Ge Bai will definitely complain to the Secretary for Home Affairs, the Secretary for Security and the Governor of Hong Kong, shirk most of the responsibility, and then drag the garrison troops in to share the responsibility.

Lan Gang and Fei Bo discussed what to say to Lei Luo, then walked back and said to Chu Xiangqian, "Ah Chu, do me another favor.

Invite the Director and Director Hader to have dinner at Treasure House tonight."

Chu Xiangqian was stunned, "The Treasure House is open for business?"

Lan Gang smiled and shook his head, "The boat was actually built a long time ago. Last year, Boss Bai and Sir Lei's whole family had their New Year's Eve dinner at the Treasure House.

The business hadn’t opened before, but I heard they were discussing a merger and acquisition.

However, since the accurate news about you coming back and cooperating with He Zanyuan and He Chaosheng to build a hotel came out.

I heard that Boss Bai is planning to hold an opening ceremony in the next few days."

Chu Xiangqian then nodded.

Seeing that he agreed, Lan Gang hurriedly pulled Fei Bo to find Lei Luo.

But Fei Bo still wanted to confirm the Jockey Club membership issue with Chu Xiangqian, so he was not willing to leave now.

Lan Gang naturally also wanted to join the Jockey Club. Membership of the Jockey Club is a symbol of status in Hong Kong Island. In the future, when he takes his wife Ye Baoying to watch the horses, he can book a private room himself.

Instead of using someone else's private room.

By then, Ye Baoying will bring her best friends and relatives to the private room to watch the horses. If she feels proud, she will not talk to me about those women outside in the future.
-
After confirming his membership with Chu Xiangqian, Fei Bo took Lan Gang with him and wanted to go to the stable to see the foals born in the past two years.

He also exchanged glances with Lan Gang.

Lan Gang immediately guessed that the fat man wanted to give money to Chu Xiangqian in the name of buying a foal, in case this guy would help but not be proactive enough.

Lan Gang shook his head helplessly, but he also understood in his heart that friendship is friendship, and if someone helps you without asking for anything in return, it will only happen once or twice at most.

He was just about to pull Chu Xiangqian to see the horses, but Chu Xiangqian was not in a hurry to go to the stable.

Instead, he talked about the fact that Zheng Yutong would come over to select a foal soon.

Now Fei Bo and Lan Gang were even more reluctant to leave so soon.

There are several Chow Tai Seng restaurants in Central. The security is good and there are even armed security guards.

It is also very close to the police headquarters, so normally, there is no need to worry about anyone daring to rob there.

But there is always an unexpected thing.

If he could fool Zheng Yutong, he might be able to fool him, or even get other gold shops to pay him some money.

Chu Xiangqian really didn't expect that even the gold shop owner was targeting these two guys.

I can only say, no wonder these two guys are so good at making money.

However, even if he knew, Chu Xiangqian would not care.

No matter how much money Lan Gang, Fei Bo and Lei Luo received from the detectives, gang leaders and gold shop owners, they would definitely get their share.

Otherwise, let alone meeting Gangdu, even Hader wouldn't be that easy to meet.

Not to mention, lobbying Hader to introduce them to Hong Kong'Du.

At around 10 o'clock in the morning, Chu Xiangqian looked at his watch twice and saw that Zheng Yutong was late, so he couldn't help but curse in his heart.

Then, under his command, the titmouse flew out of the racecourse and flew back and forth on Nathan Road. Only then did it see Zheng Yutong's car in Tsim Sha Tsui East, which had just driven off the ferry.

Another twenty minutes later, the guy's car finally entered the racecourse.

Uncle Hai heard the guard's report through the intercom in his hand, and then Chu Xiangqian took Lan Gang and others to the office area.

However, Elisa, who had been riding a horse, saw her man was about to leave, so she rode over quickly.

She jumped off the horse, hurriedly chased after him, and breathlessly hugged Chu Xiangqian's arm tightly, her charming big eyes staring at Chu Xiangqian without blinking.

Chu Xiangqian knew at a glance that this girl wanted to ask him for help again.

Sure enough, when Alyssa saw Chu Xiangqian glaring at her unhappily, she knew that her man was not angry.

He shook Chu Xiangqian's arm a few times and said, "My dear, my precious horse is already five and a half years old. I want to find a companion for her, okay?"

When Chu Xiangqian heard about this, he immediately nodded indifferently.

Anyway, the horses that belong to the wives in the stable are actually owned by the stable, that is, by Chu Xiangqian.

Moreover, while these horses have good speed and endurance, they are still one level lower than the horses that can be used on the track. There are many such horses in the Novice Village, and 3 horses are constantly refreshed every day. When there are more horses, they are no different from cats and dogs to Chu Xiangqian.

It's even worse than having a pet around.

As soon as she heard Chu Xiangqian's agreement, Elisa immediately put her arm around Chu Xiangqian's arm and walked towards the stable.

Chu Xiangqian had no choice but to say to Zhang Tianzhi and Uncle Hai, "Help me pick up Zheng Yutong. Sir Lan, Sir Liu and I will go to the stable first."

Since Zheng Yutong was late, it wasn't my fault if I didn't wait for him.

When Zheng Yutong came to the stable accompanied by Uncle Hai and Zhang Tianzhi, Alyssa had already selected a pure black 5-year-old Arabian horse, which would live with her previous horse until she became pregnant with a foal.

As for Fei Bo and Lan Gang, they wanted to hear Chu Xiangqian's opinion, but Chu Xiangqian ignored them and said that what he chose was what he liked.

As for whether he can get on the track when he is 3 years old, it depends on his eyesight and fate.

When Zheng Yutong saw that someone had come earlier than her and picked out three ponies first, she suddenly became anxious.

He was afraid that the foal that Chu Xiangqian had mentioned before would be bought by someone in advance.

Chu Xiangqian cursed with a smile, pointed at a red pony in the stable and said, "That one is $30. If you think it's too expensive, you can buy the black pony next to it. It's $20."

Now not only Zheng Yutong became curious, but Fei Bo, Lan Gang and Alyssa were also aroused by his words.

But the four people looked left and right, but still couldn't tell any difference between these two foals and the other foals.

Even the black foal looked thinner than other foals of the same age. It was hard to understand why this foal could be sold at a higher price than a 3-year-old adult Arabian horse.

Helplessly, he could only look at Chu Xiangqian, hoping that he could explain.

Chu Xiangqian shrugged. He couldn't say that he had brought every foal in the stable into the Novice Village and seen the three-dimensional attributes of all the foals.

These two foals are indeed the best performers.

The colt that he priced at $30 was only 2 years old, with a physique of 1.2, strength of 1.2, and agility of 1.4.

Compared to Wuzhui's original physique of 1.4, strength of 1.2, and agility of 1.5, its physique is only 0.2 weaker and its agility is only 0.1 lower.

But his strength was amazing, just like Wuzhui when he was already 3 years old.

When this foal grows to 3 years old, it is hard to say whether its physical fitness can reach 1.4, but its strength and agility will definitely increase.

Chu Xiangqian was actually a bit conservative in thinking the price of $30 was a bit conservative.

But he couldn't be sure whether the foal could perform well on the track or even win the championship when it was three years old.

Otherwise, his offer would definitely reach millions of dollars.

In reality, there are indeed many uncertainties in the training and growth process of horses.

The champion knight’s agility was 1.6, which set a new record on the track in Hong Kong Island.

A mere 0.1 difference in agility is equivalent to a 6% delay in speed, which translates into a delay of several seconds or even more than ten seconds on the track.

Of course, Champion Knight is a purebred horse with a natural advantage in speed, so an agility of 1.6 is not actually considered the best purebred horse.

If Chu Xiangqian hadn't given the champion Cavaliers extra points, they might not have won the English Triple Crown.

However, if the strength of this foal can be improved by several decimal points when it is 3 years old, its strong power will allow the horse to run relatively easily while carrying a rider.

If you react in a faster way, your performance can be improved a lot.

As for wanting to go to London or Magnesium to participate in the Triple Crown, it really depends on luck, the condition of the rider, and the performance of the horse.

Only then will it be possible to achieve good results, even top three or win the championship in a certain station.

Of course, Chu Xiangqian felt that there was at least a 2% chance that this horse did not receive proper training and did not develop sufficiently when it was between 3 and years old, which led to greater disappointment when it was on the track.

Zheng Yutong hesitated for just a moment, then gritted his teeth and decided to buy the chestnut pony.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but pretend to be hesitant and didn't want to sell, which made Zheng Yutong, Lan Gang and Fei Bo nervous.

Alyssa, who was standing by, hugged Chu Xiangqian's neck, kissed him a few times, and said tenderly, "Dear, how about giving me this pony as my birthday present this year, okay?"

Chu Xiangqian secretly gave Alyssa a thumbs up, and took the opportunity to pretend to be annoyed and said, “Don’t make trouble, this is business.”

Alyssa pouted after hearing this, and then she saw Chu Xiangqian pointing at the black colt that was priced at $20, “Okay, this knight is not bad either, if you are willing to work hard to train him well.

When it is three years old, its performance may not be worse than that chestnut colt.

If you can find a good rider to accompany this horse for a year in advance, you may have a chance to stand on the podium in the future.”

Alyssa was overjoyed. What she said just now was just a cooperation.

I didn't expect my man to be so generous.

Regardless of whether she could achieve good results in the future, just the fact that Chu Xiangqian gave her this colt worth $20 made Alyssa feel that she was still very favored.

Just this point alone made Alyssa satisfied.

Zheng Yutong was secretly happy, while Fei Bo and Lan Gang on the side began to regret why they did not choose these two foals.

The two looked at each other and soon felt that in the future they should not only hire a good horse trainer to learn how to judge horses, but also come to the horse farm more often when they have free time.

You can not only ride horses, but also check out the new foals to see if there are any talented foals worth picking up.

Zheng Yutong directly wrote a check for 30 Hong Kong dollars and gave it to Chu Xiangqian as a deposit.

Then call a lawyer and have someone come over to review the purchase agreement.

After Chu Xiangqian received the check, Zheng Yutong immediately suggested that the pony he had just bought run a lap on the track.

The results of this 2-year-old horse are indeed eye-catching.

The riders, trainers and stable boys who heard the news and came to watch said directly that everyone had misjudged this horse.

Judging from the result of the rider's 800-meter run just now, it is definitely the horse with the best 2-meter test result among two-year-old horses in Southeast Asia.

Zheng Yutong was now even happier and even excited.

Just now he had thought that if the results were really good, he would get one or two good friends or relatives to jointly invest in buying the horse.

After all, he had opened two new jewelry stores in the past three years and invested in the Great Wall Hotel, so he didn't have much cash on hand.

But after hearing what the trainer and riders said, Zheng Yutong immediately decided to buy the pony on her own, even if she had to take out a loan.

Once the horse performs well next year, its value will double or triple immediately.

Moreover, this horse comes from the Kowloon Racecourse. Potential horse owners who have confidence in the racehorse provided by Chu Xiangqian may be more optimistic about the future of this horse than himself.

As a result, the price is 20% to 30% higher than normal.
