Chapter 7 007 [Race Race]

Anyone who has common sense of horse racing knows that whether a horse is good or not depends not only on its state of the field, but also on its previous records.

"Black Lightning" is a thoroughbred racehorse from Great Britain, the whole body is pitch black, and it shines charmingly in the sun, so it was named "Black Lightning".

It is not very old, it is less than 2 years old this year, calculated according to the golden age of horse racing from 2 to 6 years old, Black Lightning is a rookie at best, and has always been on a small farm in captivity, and has never run a big game , even if the horse is rumored to be sharp and has good stamina, everyone is still not optimistic. After all, racing in a small place and racing in a real racecourse are two different concepts.

Even with the support of Sima Ke, the three-time champion jockey this time, many horse racing fans still have a "questionable" attitude towards Black Lightning, thinking that the reason why the horse owner Xu Shixun and Xu Sanshao let him compete this time is just to let Black Lightning accumulate experience. Winning the championship is simply impossible, so Black Lightning's odds this time have also reached the rare "one pays three".

"Dear Lei, it looks like your bet is bad or bad this time!" Saipan, the manager of Standard Chartered Bank, said regretfully to Lei Luo, holding a glass of champagne.

The corners of Lei Luo's mouth twitched. He never thought that the horse that Shi Zhijian's "Old Dou Tuo Meng" wanted to bet on was this little pony with no experience and no qualifications!

Isn't this courting death!

One hundred thousand yuan, just for nothing!

At this moment, Lei Luo wanted to get back the money he had invested.

Not to mention the others, those wealthy people who followed Lei Luo and invested in Shi Zhijian were all uncertain.

And those who didn't invest money before, sighed secretly, feeling lucky and escaped a catastrophe.

The news that someone in the VIP room bet 200,000 on the debut horse "Black Lightning" won spread like wildfire.

Needless to say, those horse racing fans laughed one by one. Although most of them are losers in the racecourse, they think they know horses and horses. They often read horse scriptures and study horse racing. If this horse can win, it will be hell !

Of course, there are also some crazy gamblers who think that the odds of 3-for-1 are rare for this opportunity to turn around. Since some people dare to bet a heavy bet of 200,000, why can't they themselves?

Therefore, before the start of the game, another group of lunatics directly followed Shi Zhijian to suppress "Black Lightning".

For a time, the entire racetrack went crazy.

"I buy black lightning!"

"Black Lightning, go!"

"It's life or death, just bet on it!"

As the first show of the colt "Black Lightning", it directly became the "highlight" of today's horse racing.

...

In addition to the betting area where some rich people are located in the VIP area of ​​the racetrack, there is also an isolated area that belongs to the horse owner.

According to the regulations of the racecourse, horse owners need to be isolated from other people during the race to avoid "cheating".

At this moment, several older horse owners in the horse owner's area were gathering together, with big bellies, talking with binoculars.

A handsome man in his thirties was leaning lazily on the boss chair, squinting his eyes, beating time with his right hand on the armrest of the chair, listening to melodious Cantonese opera.

The famous actress who sings Cantonese opera is called "Xiao Hongxia", who was specially invited by Xu Sanshao from Jiulong Huafang with a high salary. One piece of music is 100 yuan, and Xiao Hongxia has already sung four songs for this Xu Sanshao , Excluding venue fees, carriage and horse fees, a net profit of three hundred!

"Good singing!"

At the end of the song, Xu Sanshao opened his squinted eyes and praised Xiao Hongxia.

Xiao Hongxia hugged the pipa and bowed slightly towards Xu Sanshao, "Thank you, Sanshao, for your compliment!"

"Although you sing well, compared to Nie Yongqin, the 'Queen of Nine Dragons', you are still a bit worse!"

Xiao Hongxia's face darkened slightly, and she forced a smile: "Nie Huakui is well-known outside the world, with superb skills, and has many fans of the 'Uncle's Youth League', how can I compare?"

"That's right, I'm pretty self-aware!" Xu Sanshao Xu Shixun stood up from his seat and stretched his waist. He wore a red suit and a blue silk scarf around his neck, which was very dazzling and coquettish.

"Hey, I promised a lot of rewards, so go ask my servant Axiang! Where is Axiang, uh, where did he die?"

Just when Xu Sanshao was about to lose his temper, Ah Xiang, the rogue-headed rat, ran over and shouted before he even got in front of him, "Master, it's not good, something serious happened!"

Xu Sanshao grabbed an ivory Concubine Xiang fan and slapped it directly on Ah Xiang's head: "Is it on fire, or are you dead, dad?"

"It didn't catch fire, and I didn't die, Dad! It's your horse, young master. Someone bet 200,000 on it to win!"

"Huh?" Xu Sanshao was stunned.

Even Xiao Hongxia, who was waiting for a reward, was stunned. Although she was a singer, she also knew how inferior the third young master's pony was. Dare to buy?

"You bastard, did you hear me wrong?" Xu Sanshao kicked Ah Xiang's ass, "If you make me happy, I will never forgive you!"

"How could it be? Even if I have the guts, I wouldn't dare to talk nonsense. Someone really bet 200,000 on our Black Lightning to win!"

Third Young Master Xu was stunned, "Who?"

"I don't know, I only know that he is a young man named Shi, everyone calls him Young Master Shi!"

"Mr. Shi?" Xu Sanshao shook off the concubine Xiang's fan vigorously, revealing a delicate and beautiful peony flower, racking his brains, he couldn't think of anyone with the surname Shi among the people he knew.

"Forget it, whoever dares to buy my black lightning to win like this must be my friend of someone Xu! When it's over, I must buy him a drink!"

Xu Sanshao Xu Shixun is not just kidding, this time he let "Black Lightning" participate, not simply let it accumulate experience, but hope it can win the championship, tell everyone that although a horse is small, it can win the championship!

Because Xu Shixun is the third eldest in the family, and has two older brothers. He is thirty years old this year, but he can only help the family with some trivial matters, which makes him very unhappy.

This horse race, he is in "Ming Zhi", telling everyone that he can do it!

"Since Mr. Shi bet 200,000, as the owner of the horse, I can't be stingy—Ah Xiang, call the 100,000! My horse, I have to have confidence!"

"Of order!" Ah Xiang nodded and bowed.

...

Xu Sanshao was very high-spirited and called a hundred thousand!

As soon as this news came out, it immediately caused an uproar in the racecourse.

They don't understand the "willfulness" of the rich.

Just throw hundreds of thousands into the water!

When Lei Luo heard the news, he was stunned at first, and then he understood the reason. He thought that Xu Sanshao was really a man of temperament, and he didn't ask carefully who the bet was. , Calling a bet of 100,000 directly, sharp enough!

However, Xu Sanshao's status is very important. Their family is not only a shipping boss, but also a bank boss, especially HSBC, which is the "hands-on" among many banks in Hong Kong. offend.

Even if Lei Luo is the well-known Inspector Hua, he is not qualified in front of the Xu family, and Xu Sanshao is fine. If the old Buddha of the Xu family asks to mess with him, he will be kicked out in minutes!

Thinking of this, Lei Luo began to think of retreating. If he loses this time, he will directly push all the consequences on this person surnamed Shi. Even if Xu Sanshao loses the money, he will not be able to vent his anger on himself.

Just when Lei Luo and others were calculating to shirk responsibility, the horse race began!

In plain sight——

I saw that the racehorse "Black Lightning", which was disliked by everyone and thought to be a rookie, started to run. It didn't run fast and fell behind.

Shi Zhijian saw it, it's over, did he remember wrongly? Immediately sweating profusely!

Lei Luo narrowed his hawk-like eyes, and winked at Chen Xijiu, his subordinate next to him.

Chen Xijiu understands what it means——

If you dare to fool Brother Luo, this person surnamed Shi may not survive today!
