Invincible since I was a special forces soldier

Chapter 92
There are two racecourses on Hong Kong Island.

A Happy Valley located in Causeway Bay, Hong Kong Island, with a history of more than 130 years. Every Wednesday night, horse races are held here, called "night races". The first race starts at 7:15 in the evening and lasts for six to eight races.

There is also a new racecourse, located in the Sha Tin District of the New Territories, built on the shore of the Shing Mun River, facing the estuary, the location is very good, the scenery is not worse than Victoria Harbour, the key is far away from the urban area, suitable for carnival.

The Sha Tin Racecourse was established in 1978. Currently, it can only accommodate [-] spectators. It is not as large as the Happy Valley Old Racecourse, but it will be expanded soon.

By 1985, the number of spectators will reach 8, and it will become the world's top horse racing venue. The equestrian competition of the 08 Olympic Games in the real world is held here.

Every weekend, Sha Tin Racecourse will hold an afternoon race, sometimes on Saturday and sometimes on Sunday.

There are ten games, each lasting half an hour, the first game starts around 13:00, and the last game starts around 18:00, which is called "Day Game".

At noon, Li Ling took a taxi to Shatian Racecourse and went straight to the prize redemption window in the betting hall.

He asked the staff about his eligibility for rewards, and he was greatly disappointed when he asked.

The Jockey Club expressly stipulates that 1 yuan is the limit.

Prizes exceeding 1 yuan must be received with an ID card.

If it exceeds 100 million Hong Kong dollars, it is a large amount and will not be cashed immediately. You must first call the Jockey Club, register your ID card information, and then go to the Jockey Club headquarters at [-] Happy Valley Sports Road, Causeway Bay to cash the check.

In this way, his hands and feet are greatly tied. He must accurately calculate the odds when placing a bet, otherwise he will not be able to get any money if it exceeds the limit of 1 yuan.

He stayed at the racecourse for half a day, during which time he bought ten horses, because the betting tickets were not registered, and the identity was not registered for the prize redemption, so there was no impact on all of them.

By the end of the whole day of the race, he had earned a total of more than 8 Hong Kong dollars. Because he did not have an ID card, he exchanged cash directly from the Jockey Club. A stack of 1000 yuan is about the same and can be easily stuffed into a travel bag.

Touching this thick pile of golden bulls made him feel very at ease.Money is a man's guts, and if you have money, you have guts. This is a famous saying!

The golden bull is a thousand Hong Kong banknote, and there is also a five hundred Hong Kong banknote called a big cow.

There is a saying in Hong Kong Island, which is called "Golden Bulls Don't Take, Big Bulls Don't Find", which means that when you take the bus, you don't accept [-] Hong Kong notes, and you don't give change to [-] Hong Kong notes.

Leaving the racecourse, Li Ling was not happy about making money. Instead, he had a lot of worries, and was still worried about his current lack of identification.

He roughly calculated that because there are only six to eight night races in Happy Valley next Wednesday, he can get a payout of about 15 from the Jockey Club every week, and 60 a month.

Damn, it's because I don't have an ID card now, and I won't be able to make money and fly when I get an ID card in the future.

"I don't know when Brother Hao will apply for an ID card for me, but I often have to go out. These days, Hong Kong Island patrols are all over the streets and alleys, and the inspections are quite frequent. It is a huge risk for me to go out now."

From being penniless yesterday to carrying a huge sum of [-] yuan in his pocket today, Li Ling felt very happy and happy.

On the way back, Li Ling bought a bunch of things, carrying two large plastic bags in both hands.Back in the dormitory, Zhou Xingchi had already returned. He recorded a program during the day, and now he was lying on his sofa tired.

Seeing Li Ling coming in with two big bags, Zhou Xingchi let out a strange cry, took it and looked through it: "Wow, Ah Ling, you got rich and bought so many things."

"No, don't you have no money?" Zhou Xingchi asked doubtfully.

Li Ling opened the bag, took out the fruit inside and let him eat, and said, "I helped Weizi move today, Brother Hua knew I had no money so he lent me 1000 yuan.

In the morning I went to find a job, and in the afternoon I went to the Sha Tin Racecourse when I felt free. I gambled a few times and made a small profit of tens of thousands. "

"You made tens of thousands, didn't you?" Zhou Xingchi couldn't believe it, "You are so lucky, I have gambled a few times before, and I lost my monthly salary, and I never played again."

Li Ling chuckled, and only said that he was lucky, and didn't want to talk too much about this topic, so he changed the subject and said, "Xingzi, do you know where Ah Weng lives? I want to find her."

Zhou Xingchi broke off a banana and was swallowing it whole. Hearing this, he gave him a strange look: "Aren't you cousin Ah Weng? You don't even know where she lives?"

Li Ling smiled awkwardly, and covered it up: "Didn't I just come to Hong Kong Island yesterday, Ah Weng brought me to you yesterday, and I haven't had a chance to go to where she lives yet."

"Oh." Zhou Xingchi understood, and said, "Ah Weng should be filming the night scene of "Shooting the Condors" tonight, and he should be on the set now."

Li Ling nodded and said: "Xingzi, can you take me to the filming set? I want to see Ah Weng. After she finishes filming, let's make an appointment with Ah Weng, Brother Hua, and Wei Zai. I am not making money today." For some money, you have all helped me, and I will treat you to supper at night."

"That's great, I haven't eaten dinner yet, I'm going to slaughter you tonight, haha." Zhou Xingchi shouted happily,

"Then let's go now." After speaking, he dragged Li Ling out.

Li Ling found that the current Zhou Xingchi is still very cheerful. He may be a little stingy in some money matters, but overall his personality is still relatively good. Only after he has been sitting on the bench for eight years will he gradually become taciturn.

Compared with the future, Li Ling hopes that Zhou Xingchi can always maintain such a cheerful personality. Of course, there is a chance, and he needs to change his attitude towards money, at least he will not keep in touch with his friends because of money.

Li Ling hopes that he can change Zhou Xingchi's life trajectory, so that he will not be alone until he is five or sixty years old.

These thoughts flashed through Li Ling's mind. Looking at Zhou Xingchi who was about to drag him out, he hurriedly said, "Wait, you can't go empty-handed when you go to visit the class. I'll go with something."

……

When they arrived at the crew, the two didn't go directly to the filming location, but bought three big bags of milk tea and snacks and fruits first, so they walked towards the crew with two big bags each.

Zhou Xingchi pointed to an ancient building in front and said: "The studio is in front, and the production crew is closed, you follow me later, otherwise no one will let you in... Hey, isn't that Ah Weng!"

Ah Weng was wearing an ancient costume at this time. He was very pleasantly surprised to see Li Ling suddenly. coming!"

Li Ling laughed, and asked, "I'm here to visit 'cousin'."

Ah Weng rolled his eyes at Li Ling, knowing that he was making fun of him for telling Xingzi that they were cousins, so he looked at the bags they were carrying and asked, "What did you bring? "

Li Ling put the bag on the ground, took out a cup of milk tea from it and handed it to Ah Weng, saying, "Come to visit your class, of course you can't come empty-handed, I brought some fruit and milk tea and distributed them to the crew."

A Weng took a sip of the milk tea and opened it, then looked at Li Ling with a teachable expression, patted him on the shoulder and praised: "You are not bad, you can be a man."

Zhou Xingchi next to him asked, "Why isn't Ah Weng filming, he came out."

A Weng said: "I've finished filming tonight's scene, the crew is too stuffy, I'll come out to get some air."

After finishing speaking, he grabbed Li Ling's arm, "Come on, I'll take you to the production team and meet Uncle Tian. If you don't find a job in the future, you can come to the production team as an extra performer."

There was a warm current in Li Ling's heart, and Ah Weng still worried about his work. He said, "I have already found a job today. It was introduced by a friend, and I'm in a financial company."

Because it is difficult to find a job without an ID card, Li Ling said that he joined Brother Xiao Ma's company after being introduced by a friend.

"Financial company, that's pretty good too. But do you still understand financial matters?" A Weng looked at Li Ling suspiciously.

Li Ling raised his head slightly: "I know a lot, you will find out slowly in the future."

It was Zhou Xingchi who also interjected: "Ah Weng, you don't know how lucky Ah Ling is. Today he won tens of thousands betting on horses."

Looking at A Weng's questioning gaze, Li Ling said calmly: "I found a good job today, and when I was eating, I saw that there was a Marseille today, so I went for a walk. I didn't expect to be lucky, and I won a little bit."

Ah Weng smiled happily and said, "It's tens of thousands of dollars, which I can only earn from filming for a year. I was worried that it would be difficult for you to live in Hong Kong Island when you first came to Hong Kong Island. asset."

Zhou Xingchi's face was full of envy: "Hey, people are really incomparable. Ah Ling is not as good as me this morning. I didn't expect that in half a day, I will be worth far more than me. When will I be able to stand out? Let my mother do it for me. What about pride?"

Li Ling knew that Zhou Xingchi had been dependent on his mother since he was a child, and he was very filial to his mother. He comforted him and said, "A Xing, I believe you will succeed in the future, and you will definitely become a superstar."

Ah Weng glanced at Li Ling in surprise, saw his affirmative gaze, and then looked at Zhou Xingchi, wondering why Li Ling was so optimistic about Zhou Xingchi.Zhou Xingchi had been a part-timer in the Condor Shooting crew, why didn't she discover that Zhou Xingchi had the potential to be a superstar.

But she also encouraged Zhou Xingchi: "Yes, Ah Ling is right, Xingzi, you have to believe in yourself and persevere, and you will succeed in the future."

The corners of Li Ling's mouth curled up slightly, knowing that Ah Weng's words were mostly comforting, but how could he tell Ah Weng that Zhou Xingchi would become a legend of a generation in the future.
