Year: I had a good time when I was young

Chapter 873: Cultivating a Successor to Dominate an Era

Chu Xiangqian didn't want to be in the limelight in the Triple Crown competition, but he had no problem winning several championships in the endurance competition.

The Triple Crown involves the most interests and has the greatest influence.

Chu Xiangqian’s horses have dominated the championship every year. If they don’t target you, who else can they target?

But in endurance races, there are far, far fewer people paying attention.

Even professionals and a small number of enthusiasts will pay attention to endurance racing.

As for the Olympic equestrian events, they are only held every four years, and after winning the championship, only the country's people will cheer for a few days.

Then I soon stopped caring.

But for Margaret, the fame gained from winning consecutive championships can be preserved for a long time.

As for the winning horse, I may have only seen its name and forgotten it.

But in the minds of professionals, Chu Xiangqian has another good horse in his hands. Although he is not known for his speed, he has provided Margaret with champion horses in two consecutive Olympic Games.

Not only will no one question his authority, but his status in the industry will gradually become a myth.

If he only wants to be famous but does not monopolize the profits of speed racing, then those working in this field will only flatter and beg him.

Chu Xiangqian had a very clear idea on this point.

The next morning, Margaret hurried to an equestrian club that the logistics team had urgently found in the city yesterday.

Chu Xiangqian also handed over the task of obtaining evidence of the Koreans' crimes to Ichiro Matsuno.

Ninjas are good at hiding, and taking pictures with a camera is easy for them.

There is money to be made, and if the boss is happy, the bonus will not be small.

In order to satisfy his boss Chu Xiangqian, Ichiro Matsuno bought a rather large film camera and hid it in the medical center designated by the organizing committee.

Always waiting for the Koreans to cause trouble.

In order not to affect the manpower protecting Chu Xiangqian's family, Ichiro Matsuno directly approached his father and asked him to send five elite soldiers to obey his orders while Chu Xiangqian's family stayed in Neon.

Matsuno Masayuki, the heir of Ozunu, agreed immediately.

It's really because I have made too much money from Chu Xiangqian over the years.

Although there were not many assassination missions, the money earned from tiger bone wine was more than what Ao Zunu made in a year by living on the edge of a knife.

At this moment, Matsuno Masayuki felt a little regretful that he had lost the battle for succession.

The one who was sent to Hong Kong Island was not Ichiro Matsuno, but his brother.

After a few years, he would be able to earn tens or even millions of dollars a year with the help of Chu Xiangqian, just like Ichiro.

Since its establishment, the reward for external assassination missions of Ozunu has been one hundred pounds of gold.

At the gold price at that time, it was almost equal to 8 US dollars.

Although the price is quite high, there are actually not many tasks we can receive each year.

Ordinary people cannot afford the reward, so basically no ordinary people come into contact with Ozunu, or even hear of him.

Rich people are not short of money, but there are actually very few things that really require fighting.

Therefore, most of Aozunu’s customers are actually those who make money through illegal means.

Just thinking about the mission of this kind of person will reveal that it is very dangerous.

Casualty allowance, training expenses, ninja salaries and bonuses, and expenses for maintaining the operation of Ozunu.

Of the $8, perhaps only $2 or $3 will actually remain in the hands of the Matsuno family.

It may be ten or twenty years before his biological father Matsuno Shinta's health deteriorates and Ozunu is handed over to his eldest son Matsuno Masayuki.

How could Masayuki Matsuno not be jealous of Ichiro Matsuno?
Not to mention that Matsuno Masayuki has been confined by Matsuno Shinta in Ozunu's lair in the mountains.

He has not yet acquired power and spends his days hiding in the mountains and forests. Whether this is good or bad for Matsuno Shinyuki, only he himself knows.

So after Chu Xiangqian cooperated with Ichiro Matsuno in the tiger bone wine business, Masayuki Matsuno became increasingly unable to bear the loneliness.

When the family head Matsuno Shinta heard his youngest son Ichiro's request for five elite soldiers, he hesitated and refused to give them.

The old man has controlled Ozunu for decades and knows human nature and human heart too well.

The team under Ichiro's command now only obeys the orders of Ichiro and Chu Xiangqian.

If Ichiro is given 5 elite soldiers, perhaps it won't take long before these 5 people will become Ichiro's subordinates.

Ninjas are also human beings. No matter how cold and inhumane their training is, they will inevitably have their own little calculations and thoughts.

If you accept a mission from Ozunu, the reward will be several thousand or even hundreds of dollars.

But following Ichiro, even a fool would know how to choose when it comes to sharing tens of thousands, or sometimes hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Not to mention that Chu Xiangqian is just a big businessman and he doesn't have many enemies.

Over the years, Ichiro Matsuno's team has become more of an assassination team than an assassination group.

It would be better to say that it was the guard team maintained by Chu Xiangqian.

Even during the more than two years in Panama, Matsuno's team was mainly responsible for surveillance and transportation tasks.

The risk is not high, but the return is ten or even dozens of times more than Ozunu.

If Ichiro continues like this, Matsuno Shinyuki, who has been chosen as the successor of Ozunu, might be killed by his own people one day.

Even Matsuno Masayuki didn't know how he died.

Matsuno Shinta then took advantage of Chu Xiangqian's visit to Japan and asked for a meeting.

But Matsuno Shinta was actually also hesitating. Was it a mistake for her to choose her eldest son back then?
My eldest son is good in all aspects, but his thinking is a little behind the times.

Even though I am an old man, sometimes I have a broader perspective than my eldest son.

Maybe I should blame myself for keeping my eldest son by my side.

Staying in the mountains for many years, I have no idea how fast the development of this era is.

Ichiro Matsuno, who followed Chu Xiangqian, stayed in Meiguo all day long and traveled around Panama, London, Hong Kong, Singapore and Kuala Lumpur.

Naturally, he has a good vision.

More importantly, because of Chu Xiangqian, Ichiro Matsuno is full of confidence.

His boss even asked him to transport 20 to 30 million U.S. dollars in cash from Chicago back to Los Angeles.

In Ichiro Matsuno's opinion, the only way to repay this trust and demonstrate his loyalty is with his death.

Moreover, Chu Xiangqian was able to transport hundreds of thousands of tons of grain back to Asia without any mistakes or omissions, and no one discovered it for several years.

In the minds of Matsuno's team, the boss's influence is definitely not limited to their team.

Therefore, in the past few years, Ichiro Matsuno has become more confident and more cheerful in his interactions with his biological father and brother.

In the end, Matsuno Shinta agreed and sent five elite troops to Tokyo to obey the orders of Matsuno Ichiro.

As soon as this decision was made, deep down in his heart, Matsuno Shinta had actually already leaned towards Matsuno Ichiro.

Otherwise, given the old man's past character, once he discovered that Ichiro Matsuno would be a threat to the heir and Ozunu, he would definitely order him to be killed immediately.
-
After Ichiro Matsuno received support, he immediately asked Nishimura and Ohno to stay in the medical center.

When the photos and videos are taken, the Koreans will not be given a chance to explain themselves.

If it is directly exposed to the media around the world, it will be a huge scandal that will shock the whole world.

Given the character of the Koreans, Chu Xiangqian might not even have to do anything, as the Koreans would kill the members of the Korean Equestrian Team themselves.

If the news came out during the Games, Korea might become the only country in Olympic history to be disqualified from competing as a team during the Games.

After that, the more angry and ashamed the Koreans are, the more they will blame and resent the equestrian team.

At this time, Yingguo stood up to accuse and hold accountable, which was not only reasonable but also showed that she was a victim.

Maybe all the expenses for Margaret to participate in the competition this time will be paid by Gao Li.

You might even be able to make some extra money.

But when Margaret arrived at the equestrian club that she had booked yesterday and saw the horse that had been transported there last night, she couldn't help but show disappointment on her face.

Chu Xiangqian slept in Kumiko and Olivia's room last night.

When I woke up in the morning, I heard that Margaret had hurried to the equestrian club, and I immediately acted as a nanny.

It was already past 10 o'clock in the morning when I received Margaret's call.

However, Margaret's tone at this time was no longer one of disappointment, but excitement and excitement.
-
Even though the horse was only 1 meters tall, even the mast of the steeplechase was taller than its shoulders.

If placed next to other participating horses, you can see that this horse is half a head shorter.

But a trainer beside Margaret immediately noticed something unusual after riding the horse.

This horse is so powerful that the weight of a normal adult seems like a child to him.

Moreover, with greater strength, the height you can jump and the distance you can cover will be greater.

障碍赛跨栏的桅杆分三个级别，1米2、1米4和1米6。

This horse easily jumped over the standard 1-meter-high obstacle hurdle.

And because of their short stature and small stride, it is easier for them to adjust their pace and balance.

The horse trainer just tried it casually and actually ran a time of 41 seconds.

The scoring system for show jumping is very complicated. To put it simply, the one who takes less time and has fewer penalty points will be the champion.

This made Margaret and the entire team cheer.

In the past, if you could run under 40 seconds, you could basically win a medal in men's events.

The trainer was a man and weighed at least ten kilograms more than Margaret.

As expected, Margaret couldn’t help but get dressed, and after getting on the horse, she ran within 40 in the first lap.

The third time, the result exceeded 39 seconds and reached 38 seconds.

This is better than Margaret's result four years ago and even breaks the record.

This girl would only be so excited when she called Chu Xiangqian.

When Chu Xiangqian brought his beloved son and bodyguards to the equestrian club, all the employees in the club had been replaced by foreigners.

There were even a dozen or so security guards who were hired urgently. They were a tactical team that was brought in from the Miguo garrison through connections.

Chu Xiangqian shook his head helplessly, ever since he told Margaret that he had earned more than 1.5 million US dollars in the foreign exchange market.

This girl spends money more lavishly than before.

But Chu Xiangqian didn't feel bad about spending this little money.

Anyway, the donations spent on Yingguo every year, after deducting the maximum tax deduction amount, are at least more than 50 pounds.

Converted into US dollars, it is more than one million.

Donating tens or hundreds of thousands of dollars less would make up for this expense.

If we include charitable donations in Los Angeles and Hong Kong Island, the amount would have to triple or quadruple.

After donating the money, Chu Xiangqian was able to reduce his losses by several million dollars.

That's why he is so enthusiastic about charity foundation projects.

There aren’t too many wealthy people in Europe and America who do the same thing as him.

Even among securities traders, it is now popular to apply for a fund.

Or they may claim to care for orphans or single mothers.

Or whether it is in the name of environmental or water resource protection, the purpose of establishing a fund is actually still related to profit.

Chu Xiangqian donates $5 every year to the fund owned by the wife of California Senator Robert Alessandro.

To put it bluntly, this money is the policyholder fee.

Avoid the trouble of someone looking for Los Angeles Ranch.

By the way, he will also act as a consultant and provide Chu Xiangqian with considerable help in terms of policies and taxation.

The annual loss is saved by hundreds of thousands of dollars, but the compensation is only 5 dollars. At this time, the credibility of Meiguo Securities is still very high.

When Robert wants to make progress one day, Chu Xiangqian will donate hundreds of thousands or even millions of dollars to him without hesitation.

Once Robert succeeds, the rewards will be several times or even dozens of times.

This is also why so many Chinese capitals are keen on evidence-based treatment.

Of course, if you choose the wrong person, your investment will be wasted.
-
As soon as Margaret saw Chu Xiangqian and Chu Jingxing, she rushed over, hugged the father and son, and then kissed Chu Xiangqian on the mouth.

Chu Jingxing, who was held in his parents' arms, was unhappy. He clearly greeted his mother first, but it was his father whom his mother kissed.

His little mouth twisted and he started crying loudly.

Margaret was so annoyed that she no longer had the energy to care about horse racing and her man.

He quickly took Chu Jingxing, held him in his arms and coaxed him non-stop until he kissed the little guy more than a dozen times before he stopped crying.

Chu Xiangqian couldn't help but smile with a mixture of amusement and anger when he saw this.

The baby is more than 5 months old, but he is still a silly boy who knows nothing.

My own children are actually jealous and vying for favor.

He secretly thought that he would have to be a strict father when this kid got beaten up.

When it comes to sensing the malice from his own father, Chu Jingxing is far inferior to his brother Chu Jingrong.

This was probably because during the ten months when Xue Jinglan was pregnant with Chu Jingrong, Chu Xiangqian mentioned the education of his eldest son to Xue Jinglan more than once.

When they grow up a little, they are handed over to the master, his wife and Yixiantian to teach martial arts, and they will be beaten if they don't obey.

Things like "if you're naughty you'll get a beating too."

Maybe just like pregnant women listening to music and talking to their babies more often can be considered as prenatal education, Chu Xiangqian’s prenatal education was somewhat full of malice.

But during Margaret's pregnancy, Chu Xiangqian's time with Margaret was not as much as Xue Jinglan's.

Secondly, since he already has a child, Chu Xiangqian’s mentality is different from before.

This may be one of the reasons why parents prefer their younger son.

After Margaret coaxed Chu Jingxing, she immediately started mumbling about the horse.

Chu Xiangqian naturally understood the strength of this horse.

He smiled and said, "My dear, I think it is very likely that you will monopolize the championship of the Olympic equestrian obstacle course and outdoor cross-country endurance race for many years in a row, even for ten or twenty years.

In the future, you will definitely become a legend in the hearts of the people of Yingguo and equestrian enthusiasts all over the world.

Maybe it’s the only legend.”
