Super Zoo

Pushing open the door of the box, there is a large French window on one side of the box, and the entire runway below can be clearly seen. Two people are standing in front of the French window, with their backs to Su Ming, looking at the racecourse below.

When they heard someone coming in, the two turned around at the same time.

One was Jacky, and seeing the other person, Nangong couldn't help but shout: "Long Wu?"

This man has a slightly long square face with hard facial lines. Although due to his age, his face inevitably has wrinkles like gullies, his figure is straight, wearing a suit and standing there, not smiling, like a sharp steel knife; also due to his age, although he is heroic, he seems very restrained and not aggressive.

If Zhao Yun is a middle-aged handsome man who walks the elegant route, then the man in front of him is a hard-line uncle.

Hearing Nangong call out the word "Long Wu", Jacky and the hard-line uncle looked at each other and laughed at the same time.

When the tough uncle had a serious face just now, he made people feel like an iceberg, keeping people away from him. After he smiled, Su Ming realized that such a tough guy actually had a pair of peach blossom eyes.

"Brother Shi, I told you that you are more powerful than the God of Gamblers!" Jacky laughed.

The tough uncle called Brother Shi shrugged and said, "It seems that my acting skills are really bad. I have played so many roles, but only Long Wu can be remembered."

The uncle in front of him, oh, should I say the eldest brother, or the big boss, is Xiang Huaqiang, who played the loyal and cold-faced bodyguard Long Wu in the series of gambling movies God of Gamblers and Saint of Gamblers.

As he said, in fact, in addition to Long Wu, he has played many other roles. He is a famous golden supporting actor in the golden age of Hong Kong movies, and even once beat Leslie Cheung to be nominated for the Best Actor Award at the Academy Awards. But what people really know and remember is Long Wu.

When Su Ming saw this man, he understood two things at once.

First, why did Jacky say he was busy with the new film, but in fact he was betting on horses here. Because the Long Wu who was with Jacky in front of him, being an actor was just an amateur pastime for him. His real identity was the former chairman of Hong Kong Yongsheng Film Company and the current chairman of Huaxiaxing Group.

Huaxiaxing Group is a listed company in Hong Kong. Its business scope covers many fields such as property, hotels, health products, and entertainment industry. It is most famous for making movies. Therefore, Jacky was with him. It was probably related to the new film.

Second, why did the retired gang leader Uncle Li bring himself to this box. It has been rumored that Long Wu’s other identity under the water is actually the leader of Xinji, which ranked first among the four major gangs before Hong Kong’s return. He is a real underground big shot.

If I guess correctly, the two guys in front of me are both formal members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. Maybe Long Wu is one of the core selected members. The Jockey Club encountered a man who came to "make trouble", and Long Wu happened to be here, so he asked Uncle Li to communicate with him; Jacky saw that the "Mr. Su" on the Happy Stand below was himself in the box, and asked him to come up to meet him.

"Let's introduce ourselves formally." Jacky welcomed Su Ming and Nangong into the box and introduced them formally. Finally, he smiled to Su Ming and said, "Just call me Brother Ten like me."

There are thirteen brothers in the Xiang family, and Long Wu is the tenth.

Su Ming had already known about Long Wu's background on the Internet. The Hong Kong Jockey Club was originally a place where celebrities frequented, so it was not surprising to see him here.

After hearing that Su Ming had built a good industry from scratch at a young age and was also a party member, Long Wu's eyes lit up a little. He looked at Su Ming with a bit of appreciation and said half-jokingly, "You are young and promising. No wonder the mainland government is so powerful and has built the two sides of the Taiwan Strait so well."

"Brother Ten, if you want to join the party, I will be your introducer." Su Ming said seriously.

Long Wu: "..."

"Brother Shi, please sign for me, I'm your fan!"

No matter if they are party members or community leaders, they have no way to deal with this young, beautiful and coquettish girl. Long Wu has probably written the word "Long Wu" more times than his own name in his life. He didn't expect to meet a "passionate" fan in the box of the Jockey Club. He shook his head and smiled helplessly, and then signed his name.

Not long after arriving in the box, the seventh race had already begun in the stadium below. From the large French window of the box, you can clearly see the twelve horses on the track, and they will run wildly after leaving the gate.

Although the settings in the box are more complete, there is even a betting machine, so you can bet directly without queuing at the window, but unfortunately you can't hear the shouts of the audience outside and the commentary of the host, and I always feel that there is a lack of the atmosphere of horse racing. However, if celebrities like Jacky and Long Wu appear directly in the stadium, there is no need to watch the horses, and they will sign autographs for fans until their hands are tired.

"I just saw Mr. Su, the horse god, on the big screen. I didn't expect it to be you. You won't be unhappy if your money is cut off." Jacky handed over two glasses of red wine, one for Nangong and one for Su Ming, and said with a smile.

Su Ming took the wine, nodded slightly to Jacky to express his gratitude, and then said: "With a master like Brother Shi in charge, I may not win next time I want to, so it's better to stop while I'm ahead."

"If it's dog racing, I can still be considered a half-master. As for horse betting, I'm still a novice. I just raised a horse for fun occasionally." Long Wu said.

Su Ming said Long Wu was a ‘master’, of course he didn’t mean his horse betting skills. After entering the box, everyone present tacitly didn’t mention Uncle Li’s hope that Su Ming would stop betting, and Su Ming also directly expressed his attitude with practical actions.

Everyone present was knowledgeable, and some things didn’t need to be explained. Hearing that Long Wu also had a horse competing in the field, Su Ming asked curiously: “Which horse is Brother Shi’s?”

“It’s Da Kuai Huo.” Long Wu stretched out a finger and pointed at Da Kuai Huo, which was exerting force and rushing forward from the fourth place. With three points of doting and seven points of helplessness, he said: “Every time I see it running, it makes me tremble with fear.”

Da Kuai Huo is a horse that is interesting. It looks like a middle-class horse, but it has strong explosive power. It can often exert force suddenly after halfway and surpass several horses in a row. But it seems that there is always a trench that cannot be crossed in one step from the first place.

After the seventh race, Da Kuai Huo rushed from the fourth place to the second place just like before, but the gap between him and the first place was still very large, almost a horse length. In the last 20 meters, Da Kuai Huo was always chasing desperately, but he never caught up.

"Da Kuai Huo has potential, but it is only one step away. It seems that it lacks the courage to challenge the first place. Look at it, even if the first place is not running fast, it always can't catch up, and seems to be satisfied with the top three results." Su Ming said calmly.

He communicated with Da Kuai Huo several times and found that first of all, the physical fitness of this horse is not weaker than any other horse on the field. This is the foundation. If the racehorse's physical strength is not good, it will definitely not run a good result.

More importantly, Da Kuai Huo's fighting spirit is very strong, just like an entrepreneur full of hope for the future, full of positive energy of sunshine.

The key is that it lacks the domineering spirit of "I am the best in the world" and the spirit of adventure. It is a steady and steady type of player.

The Lion Dragon is just the opposite. Although its physical fitness meets the standard, its personality is stubborn and stubborn, like a rebellious adolescent boy.

"Lion Dragon is Mr. Luo's horse. Everyone knows that he has the same weird temper as Mr. Luo." Long Wu nodded. After listening to Su Ming's analysis of the characteristics of the two horses, he turned his head and looked at him again, and said with a smile: "It seems that Su Sheng is indeed an expert."

"He is the director of the mainland zoo, just like the trainer in the oceanarium. How could he not understand dolphins?" Jacky said.

"I know a little bit, but I mainly rely on guessing." Su Ming smiled modestly.

"There is only one game left, why don't the three of us bet on it." Long Wu suggested.

"Wow, I won't participate!" Jacky smiled and shook his head: "You two are masters, especially Su Ming, he is a real professional. Betting with him is like betting with Soros on stocks, giving him money to spend."

"Jacky, if you say that, Brother Shi will really think that I am here to cheat the Jockey Club. I am afraid that I will be hacked to death on the street." Su Ming said pretending to be afraid.

"It's been more than ten years since the return. No one dares to kill people on the streets of Hong Kong. Don't worry."

Long Wu didn't mind Su Ming's joke, which was meant to imply something. He just smiled it off, turned around and raised his chin towards Su Ming, saying, "I just asked Uncle Li to find you and cut off your financial resources. If I lose, I'll just compensate you a little."

This brother Long Wu has always been very gentle since they met, and he feels like an old friend who is trustworthy. Sometimes he even smiles shyly - the kind of cute uncle that makes girls want to hug him and love him well. He doesn't have the airs of a former leader of a Hong Kong society or a dominant figure in the entertainment industry.

But when it comes to betting on horses with Su Ming, this kind of "competitive" activity where one side must win and the other side must lose, Long Wu's tone still reveals a strong sense of challenge.

Su Ming estimated that he was not necessarily targeting him, but it can be seen that under the gentle surface of this uncle, there is actually a heart that refuses to admit defeat and is competitive.

"What are you betting on?" Su Ming shook Nangong's small bag full of money and said, "There are only a few hundred thousand in cash. Brother Shi will not want to take all the 40 million I won just now."

It stands to reason that the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Long Wu are not so shameless that they can't afford to lose. They just lost tens of millions and immediately set a trap for me to get back. But this is not my territory, so I'd better be careful and keep my eyes open.

Su Ming is not worried about his 40 million being taken away by Long Wu, but what if he wins later? He won 40 million from the Jockey Club and 40 million from Long Wu. Will this uncle be so angry that he sends his men to kill him?

Seeing Su Ming's expression, Long Wu suddenly laughed.

————Dividing line————

PS: I originally considered adding a little more than 9,000 words to the three chapters, dividing them into 4 or 5 chapters, and then adding fancy words like "fourth update" or "fiveth update" at the end. Later, I thought about it and realized that this is just fooling people... I believe that when you buy chapters, you will know that I actually guarantee three chapters a day, which is the same as four or five updates... Of course, I will still add more chapters when I have time...
