v2 Chapter 644： grand

Five days later, Sunday, the sky was clear and clear, and it was a good day for horse racing.

When Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and others came to the Sha Tin Racecourse in the New Territories again, there were already tens of thousands of spectators.

Said it came again because Xia Yu transported the two horses "Red Rabbit" and "Wu Qi" to the Sha Tin Racecourse four days ago, and selected a skilled horse trainer and two excellent riders. division.

The duty of the trainer is to train, take care of the horses, and manage the operation of the stables, while the professional jockeys are responsible for the competition.

A jockey may ride different horses a day, and with the energy of Xia Yu and Bao Yugang, naturally two more professional jockeys can be appointed to take charge of Xia Yu’s two horses.

This time, both of Xia Yu's horses signed up for the competition.

Today is a large-scale marathon specially held. Many big guys took their love horses out for a walk. There were a lot of applicants. Therefore, the number of games today is not the usual ten games, but sixteen games. The schedule is closer and more. Worth seeing.

And every horse race, there are 14 horses participating, which means that there will be 224 horses participating today.

Xia Yu’s two horses were randomly assigned to different times, namely the second game of "Red Rabbit" and the sixth game of "Wu Qi".

When Xia Yu, Bao Yugang and others came to the best three-story open-air grandstand of the racecourse, they suddenly found many familiar faces. They were bigwigs from all walks of life or high-ranking political officials, of course, most of them were from the United Kingdom. people.

Seeing Xia Yu, Bao Yugang, and Huo Yingdong three top Chinese bigwigs coming in, the original noisy conversation in the grandstand suddenly became much quieter.

Then many people greeted Xia Yu with all smiles. Even those who didn't come, smiled and nodded to Xia Yu and others.

"Mr. Xia, Mr. Bao, Mr. Huo, good morning everyone!"

"Good morning, Mr. Smith!"

"Xia Sheng, welcome your coming."

……

Everyone shook hands and greeted each other warmly. The scene was very lively. Some British people who were observing around looked solemnly, because they saw Xia Yu's terrifying popularity, and many big men shook hands around him to say hello.

"Xia Sheng, welcome to join!"

"Shen Sheng, long time no see!"

Xia Yu and Shen Bi shook hands solemnly to say hello.

Before coming, Bao Yugang told him about the situation of the Xiangjiang Horse Club at this time.

The horse club has a chairman and twelve directors, among which the chairman is Shen Bi, the chairman of HSBC, who ran for office at the beginning of the year.

Among the twelve directors, there are only four Chinese directors. They are the son of Luo Wenjin from the four old families, and the current head of the Luo family, Luo Cheng; Li Mingze, the eldest son of the Li Hysan; founded the Bank of East Asia Li Fuhe from the Li family; He Tian, ​​one of the founders of Hang Seng Bank and the permanent director of the Chinese University of Hong Kong.

It's just that among the four, I don't know if they haven't come together yet. The only ones who came to say hello to Xia Yu were He Tian and Li Fuhe, both of whom had had contacts with Xia Yu before.

"Mr. Xia, when the next people arrive, I need to invite you to the stage and hold a simple welcome ceremony for you."

Shen Bi said with a smile.

Although I knew it before, Xia Yu still showed an unexpected expression and said: "There is no need to be so solemn, it's already an exception to list me as a selected member, and I will be flattered by the welcome ceremony!"

"Xia Sheng, what you said, your joining will make Ma Huipengxun alive, we are all worried about whether a simple welcome ceremony will be too inferior."

He Tian, ​​with white hair, smiled cheerfully.

……

In the enthusiastic conversation, time passed by, and the stadium with a capacity of 80,000 people was almost full. Xia Yu looked down from a high place. The surroundings were densely packed with people. There were almost no empty seats. The betting points are full of people, which shows the people's enthusiasm for horse racing.

At this time, hundreds of people came from the grandstand. They are all top elites from all walks of life in Hong Kong, and the essence of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

Before the game started, Shen Bi boarded the central stage, and then stood on a large screen in the middle of the racecourse. Shen Bi's figure appeared. The noisy venue gradually quieted down. Almost everyone looked at the large screen in the middle. , I want to know what Shen Bi wants to say.

"Dear guests and dear friends from the public, good morning everyone, I am the chairman of the Jockey Club Shen Bi."

"Before the upcoming game, I have a big thing to announce."

"Our Jockey Club once again welcomed a heavyweight member. I believe all the friends present have heard his name. Next, let us invite him to the stage with enthusiastic calls and applause."

After 　　 finished speaking, Shen Bi smiled and looked to the audience on the left.

Hundreds of top members in the grandstand smiled and applauded, and the 80,000 spectators on the racetrack were looking forward to it, and they were very curious.

Some of them carefully studied the 224 horses in today’s competition and found out that the owner’s information had Xia Yu’s name, and they wondered if it was the stock **** Xia Yu.

In the grandstand, Xia Yu did not expect that Shen Bi would introduce him in front of everyone, and invited him to the stage. The point is that there is a big screen that can be seen in the audience.

Such a move is not unreasonable. Xia Yu is a little flattered, but he also knows that Shen Bi, as the chairman, also has the element of his fame. After doing this, you don’t need to think that Xia Yu will join the horse in the near future. With the headlines of the club, the reputation of the club will rise again.

Seeing everyone looking at him, Xia Yu no longer hesitated and stepped onto the stage calmly.

"Wow!"

"Isn't this the **** Xia Yu?"

"Really, he didn't join the jockey club before?"

"Sure enough, he is a heavyweight. It is difficult for Xiangjiang to find a tycoon with a bigger card than him. I didn't expect him to be so young..."

"The stock **** seldom shows up in public. I didn't expect to see it here today. I must have transferred it today. I have to cast another 100 bets quickly. It depends on the stock **** to get rich!"

……

As Xia Yu's figure appeared on the big screen, there was a sound of discussion and exclamation all around the racehorse.

Listening to the noisy sound of the stadiumShen Bi's mouth raised slightly, very satisfied with this effect.

After Xia Yu was standing next to him, he smiled and said, "Mr. Xia, may I say something to everyone?"

Xia Yu nodded with a smile, looked straight ahead, and said in a calm and confident voice: "Hello everyone, this is Xia Yu. I am honored to join the Jockey Club and be a family with everyone."

"I did not expect Chairman Shen to prepare such a grand welcome ceremony for me, which surprised and moved me. Thank you Ma for his warm welcome!"

"Finally, I sincerely wish the jockey club a prosperous and prosperous career, and wish all the friends present good luck and great fortune!"

"Thank you!"

After speaking, Xia Yu bowed, and suddenly there was a fierce applause and applause.

"it is good!"

"Papa Papa......"

Especially the spectators sitting around the stadium, many people had to hear Xia Yu’s blessing, and excitedly ran to the betting point to raise, and immediately led the nearby people to raise together.

For a time, the betting points located around the stadium were crowded.

Today's Marseille, Global TV also broadcast live, and many viewers in front of the TV were also affected. They picked up the phone to bet on the phone.

In the grandstand, Xia Yu, who had already gone off the stage, was rounded up by many people, while Shen Bi on the stage looked at the time and said loudly: "Please be prepared, the first game is about to begin!"
