Rebirth of Hong Kong 1981

After receiving Zhao Chuanwang's call, Yang Chen immediately thought of He Chaoqiong, and called He Chaoqiong to let her accompany him and Xue Yufei.

All the funds that Yang Chen invested in the stock market in the past two days have all come to an end, and He Chaoqiong no longer needs to stay in HSBC Bank all the time.

Of course, He Chaoqiong is relaxed, but He Hongtao and others are still not at all relaxed, because they need to keep an eye on the Hang Seng Index every day.

If there is any fluctuation, they will call Yang Chen or He Chaoqiong immediately.

He Chaoqiong likes horse racing very much. At Sha Tin Racecourse, she still has two horses given to her by King He.

If she is bored on weekdays, she will come here to stroll around twice.

"Achen, do you want to place two bets for fun?"

I don't know if it's because of Yang Chen's ability to listen to the dice before, coupled with the fact that the Hang Seng Index is rising all the way at this stage, He Chaoqiong is full of confidence in Yang Chen, Xiao Nizi actually started to encourage Yang Chen to bet on horses.

Hearing He Chaoqiong's words, Yang Chen smiled, looked around, and saw that everyone around them was devoting themselves to the horse race. Many spectators couldn't hold back even before the race started.

Although he is not interested in horse racing, he is still a bit interested in betting on horses. Since he is here, if he doesn't play for a while, it will be in vain.

Yang Chen nodded and said: "Ah Qiong, then go and buy two bets for me and Yufei."

He Chaoqiong pointed to the horsemen who were still warming up on the racecourse, and asked, "Then what number do you choose?"

Yang Chen grinned and said, "Buy whatever you want, as long as you like it."

The audience stand was so far away from the racetrack, and he was not a god, so he could tell which horse was good there, so naturally He Chaoqiong could only choose at will.

And He Chaoqiong, who didn't have time to know a few horses beforehand, couldn't introduce them to Yang Chen, so he could only nod and take two bodyguards to the betting window to bet.

Horse racing is a favorite sport of Xiangjiang people. Xiangjiang people like horse racing, not that they like riding horses, but they like betting on horses.

This is the same as the domestic sports lottery in later generations. Many people who buy lottery tickets do not mean that they really like football, so they buy sports lottery tickets.

Many people buy lottery tickets just to win the lottery. After all, the prize of hundreds of millions is enough for most people to work hard for a lifetime.

The same is true for Hong Kong people betting on horses. Every race day, Sha Tin Racecourse will welcome countless gamblers.

The stands, which can accommodate more than 8 people, are often full of seats. Everyone who comes here will basically bet more or less.

In addition to those who come to watch the horse race live, there are also many off-site betting people, and there are basically more telephone bets than live audiences.

Think about how many people there are in Xiangjiang?

With a population of more than 500 million, among these people, those who directly and indirectly participate in horse racing betting, say more or less, no matter what, there are one-tenth of them.

The reason why so many people bet on horses in Xiangjiang is mainly caused by the special environment of Xiangjiang. When horse betting was not very popular, people in Xiangjiang had already started a wave of buying stocks for the whole people.

Too many people have seen people who get rich overnight, and they naturally imagine that they can get rich overnight one day, and live a life without worrying about food and clothing.

Therefore, the Xiangjiang people of this era have a gambler mentality inside and out.

It is precisely in this general environment that the social state of Xiangjiang showed that some old man in the inland area talked about the Xiangjiang issue when negotiating between China and Britain.

The old man once said something that reassured many Xiangjiang people.

'The horse runs and dances'

It can be seen that horse racing has been integrated into the daily life of Xiangjiang people, and occupies a very important position, and even leads to the economic development of Xiangjiang.

Even the elderly think this is a very normal thing, so Yang Chen naturally wants to go with the flow.

Soon, He Chaoqiong came back and handed the lottery tickets to Yang Chen and Xue Yufei. Yang Chen glanced at them and put them in his pocket.

"Come on, let's go upstairs now."

"Achen, I already called Dad yesterday, and he will come over today, and I will ask Dad to recommend you to join the club."

If you want to become a member of the Jockey Club, you have to be recommended to join the club. Although He Chaoqiong is also a member of the Jockey Club, but she alone has no way to recommend Yang Chen to join the club. He can only be the gambling king.

However, as soon as He Chaoqiong finished speaking, Yang Chen shook his head and said, "Don't bother uncle, I'm not interested in joining the Jockey Club just yet."

Yes, Yang Chen has no plans to join the Jockey Club yet. Although joining the Jockey Club will bring many benefits, those benefits are useless to him right now.

With Yang Chen's net worth now exposed, he has already reached the membership of Xiangjiang Jockey Club.

However, compared to He Gambling King and his level, even if he is recommended by He Gambling King, he is at most higher than ordinary members.

If you want to reach the level of He Gambling King, you can't succeed just by recommending it from one or two people. It requires several big shots to jointly name it.

Now Yang Chen has no way to beat those big shots in terms of financial resources. With his current worth alone, it is almost impossible not to survive decades of seniority.

That being the case, it doesn't matter whether he joins the Jockey Club or not. Anyway, he has no shortage of people to help and support him now, so there is no need to bow down to others everywhere.

Chapter 224 Meeting Huo Zhenting by chance

Seeing Yang Chen's refusal, although He Chaoqiong was a little puzzled, he didn't ask any more questions, nodded, and directly led Yang Chen and Xue Yufei upstairs.

Although there was a small episode in the middle, but because of He Chaoqiong's leadership, coupled with Yang Chen's news reports during this period, the guards also knew him.

Therefore, there was no bloody incident where Yang Chen was not a member of the Jockey Club, so he was stopped outside.

As soon as they went upstairs, the three of Yang Chen ran into Huo Zhenting. Seeing Yang Chen coming to the racetrack, Huo Zhenting couldn't help but wonder: "Ah Chen, why did you come out?"

"Uh..." Hearing Huo Zhenting's words, Yang Chen touched his nose speechlessly.

In the past two days, the Xiangjiang media reporters didn't know what medicine they took wrongly, they kept staring at him, squatting at the door of Xue's house every day, so Yang Chen couldn't go out because of it.

For this reason, it was also published in the newspaper, which made Huo Zhenting feel strange when he saw Yang Chen come out.

Yang Chen laughed twice, changed the subject and asked, "Brother Huo, do you like to come and play too?"

Huo Zhenting shook his head and said: "I'm not very interested in this place. Someone in my family has something to do today, so I'm here for him."

Seeing an acquaintance, Yang Chen didn't bother to find Chuanwang Zhao, and chatted directly with Huo Zhenting.

"Brother Huo, if I remember correctly, next month should be Uncle Huo's birthday, right?"

"You kid remember this?"

Huo Zhenting smiled, but secretly nodded to Yang Chen in his heart, it was considered intentional for the other party to remember his father's birthday.

Then he smiled and said: "It's not a big birthday, and no one in the family has thought of making a fuss this time, but Uncle Xue should pass by, you just follow when the time comes."

Huo Daheng, born in 1923, is only 58 years old this year, not even 60 years old. He is in good health and can play back and forth on the football field, which is better than Huo Zhenting's son.

Therefore, after Huo Daheng said that he would not deal with birthday matters, Huo Zhenting's sons did not say much.

After all, my father is in good health, so it's no big deal if he doesn't do it once or twice.
