"Young people are too worried. Do you think I will stand up for the Jockey Club and win back the 40 million?"

Long Wu took his eyes off Su Ming's face, took out a cigar from his arms, lowered his head to cut the cigar, and said lightly: "If we can't even afford to lose this little money, the Jockey Club can't be as big as it is today. Not to mention that those real tycoons don't even look at the Jockey Club, even people like me have to look down on the Jockey Club."

The Hong Kong Jockey Club has a history of more than 100 years. With the support of the SAR government and the entire Hong Kong upper class, 40 million is certainly nothing. The Long Wu family has been the king of the Hong Kong underground society for decades, and has made a lot of money in the entertainment industry and the stock market. With rich experience in both the black and white worlds, they don't take 40 million too seriously.

But Su Ming is different. A year ago, he couldn't even find a job. His biggest hope was to find a stable job. He would be thankful if he could get 4,000 or 5,000 yuan a month after deducting the five social insurances and one housing fund.

Even now, his entire fortune is probably just this amount of money. Of course, that's without financing or venture capital.

He's a person who started his business less than a year ago, so his perspective is different from those wealthy families who have accumulated decades or even hundreds of years of history.

Although Long Wu expressed his opinion, Su Ming rolled his eyes in his heart, thinking that if the Jockey Club is really rich as you said, would it dare to let me continue to gamble? There is just a bottom line there. Once someone breaks the bottom line, the Jockey Club will ask you to mediate.

"Since everyone is so happy, it seems that I can't not participate." Jacky shook the half bottle of red wine in his hand: "I am not Su Ming's opponent in horse racing, and I am not as good as Brother Shi in terms of money. Why don't we use other bets, and it won't hurt the relationship whether we win or lose. I happen to have a bottle of 1978 red wine at home, which I will use for betting."

"Okay, I'll use that horse as the bet, and I'll give it to the winner if I lose." Long Wu said.

Su Ming searched his body for a long time but couldn't find anything valuable. He turned to look at Nangong: "I'll bet with it."

Jacky: "..."

Long Wu: "..."

Nangong: "..." A slap came directly.

Su Ming dodged and said with a smile: "It's just a joke to ease the atmosphere. I'm a pauper and can't compete with you. Let me bet with wine. This year, Dasheng Wine will have ten bottles of Hundred Fruits Liquid brewed by monkeys. I'll take them out as a bet."

"That's great!" Long Wu clapped his hands: "Jacky always brags about the monkey wine you gave him. Now there are ten bottles in front of me. If you win, Jacky, shut up completely in the future!"

"Brother Shi, you are too happy too early. Su Ming, you have to work hard. I would rather lose the red wine to you!" Jacky shrugged.

Nangong tugged at Su Ming, blinked, and asked in a low voice: "Can I join?"

The private room was less than 20 square meters, and several people were sitting together. Long Wu could naturally hear Nangong talking, and smiled: "Pretty girl, men are only responsible for making money, and women are responsible for spending money. You don't need to ask him about spending money."

"Brother Shi, you said that, as if I'm doomed to lose!" Nangong said unconvinced.

"Wow, I didn't say that." Long Wu's tone was clearly like that, and Jacky was also shaking red wine on the side, smiling without saying a word. They could see at a glance that Nangong was an absolute layman in horse racing and would definitely lose if she participated in the gambling.

"It's okay, play if you want to play, and the loss is mine, and the win is yours." Su Ming patted the back of Nangong's hand, indicating that she could leave if she wanted to play.

"Hmph!" Nangong pushed the small bag full of cash onto the table, opened the zipper, and it was full of rolls of Hong Kong dollars, making her look like a female gangster who came to participate in arms trading.

"I don't have any horses or wine, only cash, is that okay? If not, I'll bet my boyfriend on you."

Su Ming didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Retribution in this life, but I'm not worth much."

Long Wu glanced at the money in his bag, "Wow, the pretty girl is going to avenge her husband today! Okay, I'll also add cash, in addition to the Grand Mercure, if you win, I'll pay you this much money alone."

The four people bet on the eighth game. Since it was an internal fight, there was no dealer, and all the fancy betting methods were abandoned. They only guessed the single winner, that is, which horse would come first.

There was a betting machine in the room. Long Wu and Jacky placed bets one after another. Long Wu saw that there was no strong opponent in this game, so he chose his Grand Mercure without thinking, and Jacky chose a group of brown horses called Disney Lights.

The stakes were not high, and it was mainly a joke, similar to a little game between a few friends. Su Ming had no need to cheat, and did not "communicate in advance" with the horses. He directly chose a more popular "Paramount" according to the recommendation in the horse manual.

"What should I choose?" Nangong asked Su Ming.

"Being so obedient before getting married, be careful not to be able to hold your head up at home in the future." Long Wu laughed on the side.

"I don't want you to care." Nangong raised her little face and pulled Su Ming and said, "I will listen to him, how about it!"

Seeing the loving look of the young couple, the two uncle-level experienced people couldn't help laughing. Su Ming shook Nangong's hand: "Choose whatever you like, just be happy, it doesn't matter!"

"Well, then I'll choose... Pink Rose! Well, that's it!" Nangong finally chose a white horse. It was obviously snow-white without a single stray hair, and I don't know why it was called this name.

After making the choice, Nangong started to get confused. After all, it was more than 700,000 yuan, a lot of money. He looked at the pile of money on the table, looked at the people in the room worriedly, looked at Su Ming for help, and muttered, "Is this okay? I feel like I'm going to lose..."

Jacky and Long Wu are both characters who have experienced big scenes for a long time. They have long been out of touch with ordinary people's lives. Although Su Ming is still not as good as them financially, he is basically an alien because of his animal friends. The perspective of capable people is even more transcendent.

At this time, seeing Nangong acting like an ordinary citizen, worrying about a little money, it made him feel more real and a bit cute.

"Don't worry, pretty girl, if you lose, Brother Ten won't charge you any money." Long Wu said with a smile.

"That's not okay. Even though I am a woman, I also know that a person must keep his word!" Nangong said with a strong face, but holding Su Ming's little hand tightly still betrayed her inner nervousness.

The eighth race, also the last race of tonight's horse racing, finally started as scheduled.

There were only eight horses participating in this race. In the first third of the race, the eight horses were almost leading the race. Occasionally, one horse would be a little ahead and would be immediately overtaken by the others.

After half the race, three horses finally stood out and maintained their lead.

Surprisingly, this time, the horses chosen by 'Horse God' Su Ming and veteran Jockey Club member Jacky were all lagging behind. However, Nangong, a pure layman, and Long Wu, a novice, chose two horses, Pink Rose and Happy Happy. Entered the top three.

Amid the cheers of the entire audience, the two hosts' surprised comments rang out on the radio.

"Wow, Wannian's second child is so happy to show off his power, he's actually a whole body ahead of the second place!"

"With less than 80 yards left, Pink Rose is still lagging behind. It seems that as long as it maintains the lead after the last corner, Happy Woods will 99% win the championship in an upset!"

Seeing the leading horses passing the last corner quickly, the rankings of the first two remained unchanged. Pink Rose obviously exerted strength. Although she caught up to about one horse's head again, Da Kuaihuo was still stable. Maintain the leading position.

As for the two horses chosen by Jacky and Su Ming, they fell far behind the second group. Not to mention competing for first place, there is no hope of even being in the top three. Unless the nitrogen injection mode is suddenly turned on, otherwise they are already destined to lose. .

Jacky clapped his hands and said, "Wow, Horse God, you made a mistake this time. It seems we can't keep our wine."

With victory in hand and no suspense in the rest of the game, Long Wu shrugged easily.

"Come on! Come on! Pink Rose must win!" Nangong stared out the window at the racecourse.

It's a pity that although her Pink Rose is still trying desperately to catch up, Da Kuaihuo's own strength seems to be slightly ahead of Pink Rose. Not only does Pink Rose not catch up, but the gap has been narrowed to half a horse's length again.

Pink Rose was not optimistic beforehand, and there is a reason for this. This horse has mediocre endurance, and its explosive power can only last a few seconds. If it cannot be surpassed within those few seconds, there will be no hope in the future. Now that we are getting closer to the finish line, the gap between the two sides is still increasing at a speed visible to the naked eye.

"Beautiful girl, don't worry. Brother Ten has never taken back what he said. I won't accept your bet. I'll give it to you to buy clothes in the future..."

Before Long Wu could finish his words, something unexpected happened in the racecourse below!

Seeing that he was less than twenty meters away from the finish line, Da Kuaihuo, who had been leading, seemed to have lost his goal. He actually looked back and his pace slowed down significantly.

Taking this opportunity, Pink Rose, who was following closely behind, suddenly overtook her!

The whole place was in an uproar! Many punters in the stands below suddenly stood up from their seats and rushed to the fence near the racecourse!

If it hadn't been for the jockey of Happy Horse to urge his mount desperately, this would have looked like a clumsy cheat. Happy Horse had obviously won, but he deliberately slowed down and waited for the pink rose!

After Pink Rose overtook Da Kuai Huo, Da Kuai Huo seemed to have found his target again, speeding up to catch up and narrowing the gap in the blink of an eye!

Unfortunately, both horses were only ten meters away from the finish line, and it was too late to exert any more force at this time.

Pink Rose crossed the finish line first, followed closely by another horse. Happy Happy, who was originally destined to win, fell to third place.

Seeing this result, the auditorium simply exploded. The spectators rushed into the racecourse and yelled, either excitedly or angrily waving their tickets.

"Wow, it's unbelievable! Can anyone tell me that I'm dazzled?" the host said in a daze.

Another host said with a cynical smile: "The jockey of Happy Joker is in big trouble this time. His sure win turned into third place in an instant. I'm afraid everyone who bought JoJo's jockey will beat him up!"

"If you buy pink roses, you must burn incense to wish him a long life."
