Siheyuan's Journey Through the Ages

Chapter 156 The Man Who Gets High Again

The sun shines on the wide racecourse, and dust rises with the sound of horses' hooves.

The crowd in the audience seemed to be enveloped in a tense and enthusiastic atmosphere.

In full view of the crowd, a gunshot rang out, and the racehorses galloped down the track like wild beasts.

People gathered in the racecourse audience seats, their eyes varied, but all revealed excitement and anticipation.

Everyone in the audience was enjoying this horse racing feast in his or her own way. Their eyes, movements and expressions formed a vivid picture on the racecourse.

Ma Qing couldn't tell whether these people really loved horse racing or just liked the thrill of seeing money suddenly expand or disappear. For him, who was now worth tens of millions, he just watched the galloping elves on the racecourse with admiration.

Time passed quickly, and when horse No. 5 crossed the finish line fastest, it suddenly started raining paper scraps from the audience seats at the racecourse. Some people were dejected, while others were jubilant, portraying the sorrows and joys of the world.

Ma Qing took out the lottery ticket from his left trouser pocket and said proudly, "Fatty, see, I won. Hey, we were supposed to get rich together, but now it's turned out like this. I'm so embarrassed."

"I don't believe it." The fat man who called himself Brother Jie had an incredible look on his face. He snatched the lottery ticket from Ma Qing's hand, looked through it carefully, and muttered, "This is impossible. This can't be true."

Ma Qing hugged the fat man and said, "If you don't believe me, just take the lottery ticket and we can go together to claim the prize. I'm telling you, if you don't admit it, these two foreigners around me are not easy to bully."

The fat man who came out of the prize redemption office looked puzzled. His mood at this time was extremely complicated. Sometimes he felt that he had been cheated, and sometimes he felt that he had missed an opportunity to make a fortune.

"Okay, stop wasting time and take the money quickly. You don't want to embarrass yourself in front of your woman, do you?" Ma Qing stretched out his hand, urging the fat man to pay quickly. "Of course, if you don't pay, my two foreign friends don't mind having fun with you."

When the two foreigners, Xie Liaosha and Sherikov, heard this, they sandwiched the fat man on the left and right and stared at him intently.

The fat man still didn't understand how he lost, but given the current situation, he had no choice but to pay the money.

The fat man took out the money and said, "Big brother, what is the inside information of the next race? We can cooperate. I will invest, and we will make 50% of it and make a good profit from the Jockey Club."

Fatty couldn't figure it out and decided to join in. Ma Qing counted the money and said without raising his head: "You think the horse farm is mine. If there are so many inside information, I would have made a fortune long ago. Why would I need to form a joint venture with you? You have a brain..."

Ma Qing shook his head. The fat man was embarrassed by the contemptuous look. He turned around and left, pulling the girl next to him.

Before the woman left, she glanced at Ma Qing towards the stands. Ma Qing understood immediately and nodded.

He spent 4 yuan on 800 horse tickets. The odds of horse number 5 were 2.3. He got back 460 yuan, lost 340 yuan, and earned 1000 yuan from Fatty, which made a net profit of 660 yuan. Ma Qingyang waved the banknotes in his hand and said to the two foreigners.

"Look, if you do this, you can make money. Mathematics is dead, but people are alive."

The two were speechless. Today was indeed an eye-opener. It was possible to play like this. What Ma Qing did was actually a test. These two foreigners really had something in their hands.

"This is my business card. My company is now recruiting a large number of senior science and engineering talents. If you are interested, you can come to me. Here is 330 yuan, we will each take half." Ma Qing divided the money in his hand into two and handed it to the two men.

Looking at the name on the business card, Xie Liaosha actually read it out in Cantonese, "Mr. Ma, right? I'll contact you when I have a chance."

Ma Qing sighed. Today, the two foreigners participated in the whole process. They must have seen through Ma Qing's tricks. Most likely, they will imitate him and put on a good show at the Happy Valley Racecourse. However, Ma Qing was not optimistic about this method. He was lucky to win against the fat man today. The key was that Ma Qing could afford to lose, while the two foreigners had zero tolerance for error. If they wanted to do the same as Ma Qing, they would probably die miserably.

But it was better this way. The worse they lost, the more likely they would work for Ma Qing in the future. The two foreigners said goodbye and left. Before they had gone far, Xie Liaosha's excited words came: "Sherikov, we can do this too..."

As the two walked away, Zheng Yumian came closer and said, "Ah Qing, what are you doing?"

Ever since Zheng Yumian's shares increased, the old guy has become closer to Ma Qing and no longer calls him Ma Sheng.

Looking at Zheng Yumian who just cooperated with him in the performance, Ma Qing did not hide it, "These two foreigners are quite interesting. One is a mathematician and the other is a mechanical engineer. They are talents I urgently need. By the way, how is my office building? It's been a long time, and there is no news."

Hearing that Ma Qing only wanted to find two technical talents, Zheng Yumian lost interest in exploring, "Don't worry, it will be done before the Spring Festival."

"That's good. I have something else to do, so I'll excuse me for a moment." After Ma Qing finished speaking, he walked towards the stands that the beautiful woman had just pointed to. Zheng Yumian looked at the direction Ma Qing was heading, and of course he also saw the graceful figure in black and red.

"Fuck, this guy got there first again. Never mind. His two women are both pregnant. I'll give it to you this time."

If Ma Qing could hear this, he would definitely not accept it, "Brother, you let me, you are kidding me."

"Where are the beauties waiting for you? Where is your fat brother?"

"Just an ordinary customer. What does he have to do with where I want to go?" The woman said nonchalantly, which made Ma Qing feel a little strange. He originally thought that this woman was the fat man's mistress, but it seems not.

"I was just thinking about how to talk to you. I want to get to know a woman like you better. My name is Ma Qing, nice to meet you."

"Tao Yaoyao, Public Relations Manager of the Mengjiangnan Club."

Ma Qing laughed. Is this how things are played in this era? Interesting.

"I wonder why Miss Tao asked me to come here..."

"I'm a little confused. I still can't figure out what happened just now. It doesn't make sense." It seems that arousing a woman's curiosity is also a great weapon to seduce her.

"This is a long story, why don't we find a place to talk about it slowly."

"I'm sorry, Mr. Ma, I have to go to work tonight." Tao Yaoyao declined politely. She had been dealing with men since she was a child, and she knew very well what was in a man's eyes.

"I can also go to the club where Miss Tao works, so we can both do both."

"Excuse me for being frank, but our club is very expensive." Tao Yaoyao felt that if it weren't for her curiosity, there would probably be no intersection between Ma Qing, a con man who made money at the racecourse.

Being looked down upon by women, Ma Qing decided to go to this club to see what it was like.
