Oh!The Smell of Money
Chapter 489
The Jockey Club is the most special organization on Hong Kong Island.
Like the world's top Chinese Mission Hills Golf Club, Yale University skeleton club and Bilderberg group, it is a club for people at the top of the world to play and socialize.
This kind of club is not only a place for the powerful to spend a lot of money and extravagance, but also a gathering place for the highest wealth and power. These upper class people exchange and socialize here, and many plans and methods to change the world are based on it, such as launching a war or collecting hundreds of millions of charitable donations to a disaster area.
Moreover, a jockey club accounts for more than 15% of the tax revenue of the whole Hong Kong Island.
Most of the senior managers here are also retired candidates from the highest level on Hong Kong Island.
There is a rumor on Hong Kong Island that the Jockey Club can solve what the Commissioner of police can't solve, because there is only one Commissioner in the police force and there are more than three in the Jockey Club.
It can be seen that Zhao Sheng has a certain position in the upper class society of Hong Kong Island as the No.2 figure in such a huge organization that collects money and power.
Qin fan looks at him intently. He is a middle-aged man in his early 50s. He is wearing a retro suit of last century. His waist is very straight and his temperament is very similar to those gentle business tycoons Qin fan always sees in Hong Kong Island movies. Under his kind and modest smile, he reveals a strong self-confidence and control ability, which makes people around him feel like a spring breeze.
But now Li Peizi appears beside Zhao Sheng. Her temperament and smile are obviously the role of a hostess. Many female stars are close to her and greet her enthusiastically. Li Peizi also responds one by one, with a dignified and generous attitude.
Qin fan saw that Daniel came to Zhao Sheng and whispered a few words. Zhao Sheng nodded apologetically to the people around him. Under the leadership of Daniel, he walked straight to the seat where Qin fan sat.
"Mr. Xia, it's a great honor for you to accept our invitation to participate in tonight's charity auction. I'd like to take my watch to thank you for the 130000 autistic children rescued by the foundation."
Zhao Sheng's tone of voice is very kind. While speaking, he looks at the female star sitting nearby, smiles at Qin fan, and says, "I believe it's very suitable for you young people..."
It has to be said that Zhao Sheng's communicative ability is very strong. With such a casual sentence, he is familiar with Qin fan as an old friend. Moreover, this person has a lot of knowledge and talks about some recent changes in the mainland. They are all about the "summer" family. It's also thanks to Qin fan's understanding when he contacted Dongyang before, otherwise I can't answer it. I'm afraid.
"By the way, you are Chen Hao, the former firepower support of the" eagle eye "operation team. I remember you. The" eagle eye "operation team used to be the organization that occupied the honor list of international mercenaries five years ago. It's a pity that the operation in the triangle area was ambushed by Tucker, and more than half of them were killed and injured. The operation team disappeared. If it hadn't happened, maybe I would have paid a lot of money Please be the core security force of our Jockey Club... "
Zhao Sheng sighed with regret, but Qin fan was surprised. Even Zhang Zihao's palms were slightly sweating.
You know, the identity of Zhang Zihao's visit to Hong Kong was also made overnight out of Bai Jianjia's relationship. Moreover, the "eagle eye" special operation team is just an employment organization that has disappeared in the world for five years. Although it is famous for a time, all its members have been killed in the operation in the triangle region. Among them, Chen Hao, the only Chinese member, is his father Once an indirect brigadier under the Bai family served as an assistant general, but now the brigadier was canceled, and the people were discharged from the army.
Unexpectedly, it was just intended to be used as a backup information to prevaricate the Dragon gang or the Jockey Club when he was unprepared, but Zhao Sheng broke it. For the first time, Zhang Zihao felt the spiritual pressure from the upper class. Looking at Zhao Sheng's vigilant eyes, he became alert.
Qin fan is secretly surprised that the bodyguard who can be taken into the main venue by the guests must have prepared a case in the Security Department of the jockey club before the banquet begins. Zhao Sheng, as the vice president of the Jockey Club, can do things in such detail that even the information of a bodyguard can be kept in mind, and he still has an amazing brain thinking ability.
Qin fan also knows that Zhao Sheng's outspoken "background identity" in front of him must be a hint to himself that this is Hong Kong Island, and the Jockey Club has the supreme status and power here. Any trace can't escape their eyes.
However, Zhao Sheng didn't mean to continue to entangle on this topic. He just said a word of regret for the "eagle eye" special action team, and talked with Qin fan about his experience of going to the mainland for a meeting at the front end of the time. He inadvertently smoothed some unhappiness that was just about to rise. Everyone would be afraid of such a partner.
"Mr. Xia, enjoy the evening. There will be some items that you are interested in when the auction starts later..."
After chatting with Qin fan for three or five minutes, Zhao Sheng patted him on the shoulder and left. The banquet started immediately. As the host, he had too many things to deal with today. Talking with Qin fan for a few minutes has attracted many people's attention to this remote corner.Fortunately, Qin fan took a look at Li Peizi, who had been wandering to deal with the female guests. He didn't pay attention here, so he sat down with a little relief. Like most people, he began to quietly wait for the auction to start.
"Young master, if the situation permits, I suggest that we leave here as soon as possible. Zhao Sheng is very strange." Zhang Zihao said in a low voice in Qin fan's ear, taking advantage of the fact that the voices at the scene had not subsided.
Qin fan knew that Zhang Zihao was frightened by Zhao Sheng, especially after he realized that his identity might be exposed. His professional habits made him subconsciously give instructions to avoid danger. However, Qin fan thought that Zhao Sheng's doing so made him in a safer environment. No one would deliberately take the initiative to get close to him before killing an important person, so it was unnecessary to get into trouble I want to be a suspect.
Qin fan did not speak, because a few minutes passed quickly, and the auction was about to begin.
On the stage, a dozen girls in cheongsam pushed several special glass display cabinets to the center of the stage, which immediately aroused the exclamation of some female guests.
"This auction, it seems that the Jockey Club has made enough money..."
Qin fan can also see the items in the crystal display cabinet when he sits on the chair. The first auction items on display are jewelry, diamonds, and watch jewelry. They are all top-notch luxury goods. The price of each item is up to US $4 million.
In other words, Qin fan was still wondering where Li Peizi was going to get so much money. Patek Feili Jue, which she bought for 30 million yuan, was the cheapest of these exhibits.
Men don't have much interest in these jewels.
Instead, the female guests on the scene have already set their eager eyes on the stage, one by one shining treasures in the light.
Even Chiba and Zhou Min, the Hong Kong Island Actresses present, are no exception. Their pretty faces are full of intoxication. They want to eat these jewels right away.
Qin fan's purpose tonight is not these, and naturally he didn't spend any more time watching it.
"Mr. Xia, these are just appetizers for tonight's auction. I believe the items behind I'm sure you'll be interested. "
Daniel didn't know when to stand behind Qin fan. When he spoke, he handed Qin fan a round number plate with the red number 32 on it, which is similar to the number plate many people are holding now, but the number on the number plate is different. A number corresponds to a person's identity. Statistics are available at the auction, which is convenient for sitting in the right place when the price is paid later and trading after the meeting.
"Do you know what I'm interested in?" Qin fan asked with a smile.
"You and your home are well-known antique collectors in China. Every time you go to an overseas auction, you will bring some precious antiques, calligraphy and paintings back to China for collection. Tonight, Mr. Zhao's collection happens to have one that suits your taste. It has a history of more than 1100 years now..."
