The next day, after having lunch at Jiang's house, Ye Qing and Jiang Xinying went out, drove the Maybach that Kang Quansheng lent to Ye Qing, and headed straight to the Jincheng Racecourse in a very flamboyant manner.
There are horse racing matches almost every day at the racecourse in Kangquandong, and gambling games are also held every day.
When the two arrived at Jincheng Racecourse, it was crowded with people, and many people were queuing up, waiting to enter.
Before Ye Qing got out of the car, he asked in surprise: "Are there so many people here every day?"
"No!" Jiang Xinying shook her head and said: "As far as I know, there are not so many people every day. Today is a special situation."
"What's so special?" Ye Qing asked curiously.
Jiang Xinying explained: "It is said that Kang Quandong will hold an international invitational tournament here every year. After you told me you wanted to come here yesterday, I asked my assistant to inquire. Today is the day to hold this international invitational tournament.
"
"To be able to hold such a competition, it seems that Kang Quandong is quite rich!" Ye Qing said with a smile.
As far as Ye Qing knew, invitational tournaments like this were almost always money-losing deals.
After all, the appearance fees of internationally renowned horse racing athletes are very high, and an invitational event will not only invite a few horse racing athletes. Under normal circumstances, TV stations will not broadcast such games, and only rely on ticket revenue and advertising revenue.
Otherwise, there is simply no way to support such a game.
Of course, most similar competitions are actually organized by the organizers to gain fame, so they don’t care whether they lose money or not, they are just for the sake of attracting attention with a certain purpose.
And Kang Quandong is just a dude, what purpose can he have?
Hmm... From Ye Qing's point of view, Kang Quandong's hosting of such an event was just for fun.
As for gambling, there is a chance to make money.
However, if it is a regular gambling game and you do not cheat, you may still lose money.
Ye Qing didn't know whether Kang Quandong would use such a large-scale event to cheat.
But as long as Kang Quandong is not an idiot like Jiang Xingyu, he is unlikely to cheat.
After all, if cheating is exposed, the impact on the Kang family will be huge.
Hmm...it would be more of a loss than a gain if it affects the Kang family's reputation and development just for a little money.
"A dandy, no matter how rich he is, he belongs to the Kang family." Jiang Xinying curled her lips and said with disdain.
After a pause, she continued: "I heard from my assistant that Kang Quandong will not lose money by hosting this event."
"Why?" Ye Qing asked doubtfully.
Jiang Xinying responded: "Because the sponsorship income from the event is enough for him to maintain the event without spending a penny of his own money and make a slight surplus."
"To be able to attract so much sponsorship, it seems that this Kang Quandong is not completely a playboy!" Ye Qing said thoughtfully.
"Tch!" Jiang Xinying curled her lips disdainfully and said, "The sponsorship he brought in is shared."
"What do you mean?" Ye Qing asked confused.
Jiang Xinying shrugged and said: "Before the competition, he sent out sponsorship invitations to hundreds of companies, large and small, in Jincheng. The Kang family is the first family in Jincheng. With the Kang family's face, who dares not to give it? Even if you know it,
We know that there is no profit from sponsoring such an event, but these companies can only pay for Ping An. After all, if they offend the Kang family, Jincheng will have no foothold!"
"Since we have so much sponsorship, surely there is no problem with betting on horse racing, right?" Ye Qing asked thoughtfully.
"I don't know about that." Jiang Xinying responded and said, "But as far as I know, in the horse racing betting here, Kang Quandong, the bookmaker, has always won and lost, and I have never heard of any news of cheating.
"
After a pause, Jiang Xinying said thoughtfully: "Every month, this Kang Quandong will disclose the income and expenditure of a month's gambling. After a month, his profit is about one or two billion. Of course, in some months,
There will also be losses, and there are also some months where the profit will be a little more, but overall, over the course of a year, his income will be around one billion."
"In other words, the income from horse racing is very stable every year?" Ye Qing asked with narrowed eyes.
"Yes!" Jiang Xinying nodded and said, "At least we have been this close for the past few years."
"Haha..." Ye Qing couldn't help but laugh.
"Why are you laughing?" Jiang Xinying asked doubtfully.
"Betting is an industry with great volatility. Stability does not exist." Ye Qing curled his lips and said.
"You mean there's something fishy about Kang Quandong's gambling game?" Jiang Xinying asked thoughtfully.
"This is obvious." Ye Qing responded and said: "We only make over one billion in horse racing every year. To be honest, I have to admit that this Kang Quandong is quite smart, knows how to measure, and is not greedy.
, this guy really understands the principle that a big tree attracts the wind, and if the water flows slowly like this, that is the real way to make money."
"I understand what you mean!" Jiang Xinying said thoughtfully: "If Kang Quansheng does that kind of thing of harvesting leeks, it will make people suspicious and stop coming to his racecourse to gamble. In this way, he will only
If you can do a one-time transaction, even if you harvest a few billion in one go, it may seem like a lot, but in fact, it won’t be as much as a long-term income.”
"Yes!" Ye Qing nodded and said, "Of course, from the information I got, this Kang Quandong does not have such ability. I think it must be the overall planning of the Kang family!"
"I think so!" Jiang Xinying nodded.
Ye Qing glanced out of the car window and said with a wry smile: "The queue is so long that we can't even see the end of it. How long do we have to wait to get in? What's more, there are so many people. By the time we get to the end of the queue, I'm afraid we won't have enough tickets."
Have you finished buying it?"
"Haha!" Jiang Xinying pursed her lips and smiled, then picked up her satchel, took out a card from it, raised it at Ye Qing, and said, "What do you think this is?"
"What?" Ye Qing asked doubtfully.
"It's stuck!" Jiang Xinying said with a smile: "Kang Quandong forced this on me before. I didn't care before, so I just threw it to my assistant casually. I heard you said you were coming here last night, so I
I asked my assistant to find this card. It is said that people with this card do not need to buy tickets, and they also have their own independent luggage."
"It seems that Kang Quandong really likes you." Ye Qing said with a smile.
"I told you, it's his business if he likes me, and it's my business if I don't like him. I hope you won't say such things again in the future." Jiang Xinying looked at Ye Qing with a serious face and said.
