Financial freedom starts with smiling at life

Chapter 441 Three Big Shots Appear Simultaneously
“President Jiang said he wants to experience the food culture and local customs of Hong Kong. I’ll take him to the night market on the Kowloon Peninsula later. President Zheng doesn’t need to make a big fuss about it,” He Long said.

Zheng Zhigang knew that Jiang Beicheng was also a leading figure in the mainland catering industry, and respected his idea. "OK, Mr. Jiang, I'll accompany you tonight to experience the nightlife of the port city."

Let's make a quick arrangement here, just enough to fill our stomachs first.

High-level social interactions are based on mutual respect.

Just like at high-end drinking parties, no one pressures each other to drink, and you can even choose not to drink at all.

At high-end cocktail parties, simply holding a glass of wine in your hand and exchanging toasts is sufficient to show respect.

Be polite and respectful.

Zheng Zhigang said it was a simple arrangement, but once inside the private room, he was received with the highest level of hospitality.

Jiang Beicheng took this as his way of treating guests, and without any formalities, they sat down at the table and enjoyed the meal.

"What are your plans after dinner, Mr. Jiang?" Zheng Zhigang asked with concern.

"Let's go sit in Happy Valley."

"Does President Jiang like horses?"

Jiang Beicheng: "An amateur equestrian enthusiast."

The He sisters and Zheng Zhigang smiled. President Jiang's humility must mean he has some skill.

These wealthy young men had all been exposed to equestrianism.

Equestrian sports and horse racing culture were both developed here by John Bull.

A symbol of nobility and gentlemen.

The group, trying to please Jiang Beicheng, started talking about "horses" at the dinner table.

The racehorses in the port city are mostly thoroughbred English, known for their explosive power and speed, and are called the kings of middle-distance races.

It is especially suitable for horse racing.

After learning that Jiang Beicheng kept a Dutch Warmblood and an Akhal-Teke horse, the He siblings and Zheng Zhigang were impressed by President Jiang's equestrian skills.

Dutch Warmblood, a natural gentleman's horse, born for dressage.

Dressage is the most prestigious, elegant, and valuable event in equestrian competitions.

President Jiang must be exceptionally skilled in this area.

Needless to say, Akhatak horses are extremely rare to find in the entire port city these days.

Those were the beloved pets of Middle Eastern royalty.

The three praised Jiang Beicheng's passion for equestrian sports.

After dinner, we went to Happy Valley together, just in time.

The horse racing events at the Jockey Club are held on Wednesday evenings.

The entire venue was packed with foreigners and tourists, enjoying singing, dancing, and beer for hours on end.

Retail investors were also mostly in the trading area.

Only the banker and skilled players are in the Diamond Hall upstairs.

The entire Jockey Club clearly defines the social hierarchy of the port city.

Wealthy people spend their time in the Diamond Hall.

Ordinary citizens with no money analyze various materials, wanting to take a gamble and see if they can change their fate.

The elite enjoyed an open-air revelry.

This wasn't Jiangbei's first time at the Gangcheng Jockey Club. He had been there once before, joining the foreigners for a party in the inner field.

At that time, he didn't come to experience horse racing; he came for the foreign horses.

That very night, he brought a British girl into the hotel.

An Indonesian girl also wanted to go with him, but Jiang Beicheng politely declined.

Today, I walked into the Diamond Hall, sat down, and had a cup of coffee while waiting for the show to begin.

Before the official race begins, horse races are often presented as a roadshow for tourists to watch and use as a reference for betting.

Some betting enthusiasts like to bet on a horse's expression and body.

Jiang Beicheng didn't have the energy to analyze those things; he was there purely for fun.

I glanced at the total prize pool: 1500 million, with odds of 1:13.9 for a single win.

I casually asked He Xiaomei, "Which number does Ms. He like?"

He Xiaomei smiled and said, "Number 9, the Brave Emperor, is very powerful. He has won many championships on this field."

The No. 3 Dancing Code is also impressive; it's Aaron Kwok's beloved horse and has won several championships.

The most important thing is to see how well they perform tonight.

Jiang Beicheng nodded, then turned to Shen Jun and said, "Secretary Shen, buy number 9 for me, 20."

He Xiaomei was stunned for a moment.

She thought President Jiang was just asking her casually, but she didn't expect him to be serious.

They bought the maximum of 20 at once.

But she didn't try to persuade Jiang Beicheng, knowing that he was just playing around.

Otherwise, they wouldn't place bets like that. Double and triple jackpots have even higher odds, not to mention T3, which has odds of a million times the payout. Even if you don't win, you still get a consolation prize.

Winning is betting on the championship in this one round; losing is losing.

It's estimated that President Jiang will only play this game once.

Otherwise, he could have easily played T3 and topped the rankings in three consecutive games.

It's incredibly exciting; you could turn ten dollars into millions.

However, after each game, there is a half-hour rest period, so after three games, it will take two or three hours.

Clearly, President Jiang did not intend to stay at the horse racing club for that long.

Two hundred thousand Hong Kong dollars is nothing to Mr. Jiang.

For He Xiaomei, it was just a drop in the ocean.

If Mr. Jiang listens to her analysis and loses, she can simply pay the bill for him.

As long as President Jiang is happy.

He Long and Zheng Zhigang didn't place any bets; each of them took a cup of coffee and sat with Jiang Beicheng.

The match is about to begin.

The atmosphere at the scene was fantastic.

Jiang Beicheng likes this competitive atmosphere; money isn't important.

The match began, and the number 9, the Emperor of Bravery, who had placed a bet on Jiangbei City, pulled ahead of everyone else.

He Long and Zheng Zhigang also got excited.

Men have an extremely strong competitive spirit.

Accepting defeat does not diminish a man's desire for victory.

In the first half, number 9 was basically in a commanding lead.

However, I started to feel tired in the second half.

The horses behind gradually narrowed the gap with number nine.

The atmosphere at the scene was electric again.

This kind of competition is much more interesting.

Tourists watched with excitement, while gamblers felt anxious, for the outcome hinged on a matter of milliseconds.

"President Jiang, the situation is not good." Zheng Zhigang joked, "Number 3 is going to overtake you. Aaron Kwok is being a bit unreasonable."

He Long and Jiang Beicheng laughed along.

"Aaron Kwok is already enjoying the applause," Jiang Beicheng joked. "Hopefully he won't pop open a bottle of champagne halfway through the match."

The on-site director was very good at handling things.

When they saw Aaron Kwok's horse start to accelerate, the image on the racetrack's big screen was projected onto his and his wife's seats.

The people around them cheered as well.

"Sigh~, I still couldn't hold on." Jiang Beichen sighed as he saw his horse being overtaken.

But I immediately felt relieved.

I was so eager to win that I was holding back, but now that I've overtaken you, it doesn't matter anymore.

The big screen displays the rankings for this match.

Aaron Kwok's beloved horse "Dancing Code" won the championship.

Aaron Kwok celebrated with champagne on the spot, surrounded by a crowd, enjoying the honor.

The camera suddenly shifted to the Diamond Hall.

Jiang Beicheng was projected onto the large screen at the scene, appearing on television along with He Long and Zheng Zhigang beside him.

The Jockey Club's broadcasts are definitely a source of trouble.

Normally, it would be fine for the on-site director to film the celebrities present, but after showing Aaron Kwok's joyful scene, the camera turned to Jiang Beicheng and the others.

Jiangbei City was just trying to liven things up and didn't pay much attention.

He smiled and waved at the camera, and He Long and Zheng Zhigang also waved back.

The entire racecourse, with its 10,000-seat area, instantly erupted in cheers.

Holland and Zheng Zhigang rarely appear at such events, but today they came to watch the horse races together!
Who is in the center position?
It seems that He Long and Zheng Zhigang came here to accompany him.

When the atmosphere began to shift away from Aaron Kwok, he and his wife finally noticed the presence of several bigwigs.

His wife was stunned for a moment after learning about Mr. Jiang's betting from his assistant.

I decided to tell Aaron Kwok, "Sir, Mr. Jiang, who is standing between Mr. Ho and Mr. Cheng, just bought horse number 9 for 20 and won it outright."

Aaron Kwok was stunned for a moment.

I looked up at the three big shots upstairs.

Suddenly, I don't feel as happy about winning today.
