Hong Kong's Sha Tin Racecourse is one of the most well-equipped racecourses in the world. It is located in Sha Tin District in the eastern New Territories and can accommodate 83,000 spectators. It was opened in 1978 and was built and managed by the Hong Kong Jockey Club. It is the second horse racing venue in Hong Kong. Sha Tin Racecourse was built
At that time, it was the largest single reclamation project in Hong Kong.
Project. The entire Sha Tin Racecourse is designed with reference to the world's advanced racecourses. The track is in a classical British clockwise direction, and the layout is close to that of Belmont Park and Santa Anita Racecourse in the United States, providing a wider field of view for spectators in the stands. In the center of the racecourse
It is the beautiful "Pengfu Park", which provides a leisure space for citizens.
During the racing season from September to early July of the following year, Sha Tin Racecourse holds races every week, usually on Wednesday evenings or Saturday/Sunday afternoons. More than 700 races are held every year. The venue is equipped with the world's largest colorful
The screen area is equivalent to 4,500 stacked 52-centimeter televisions, which display the information and results of each event in detail, so that horse fans will not miss the performance of each horse (the competition venue for the equestrian events of the 2008 Beijing Olympic Games was located in Shatin
racecourse).
Sha Tin Racecourse has a grass track and a dirt track. The grass track has a wide circumference of about 1,900 meters. The venue level is world-class. Currently, a number of international competitions are held every year, attracting top horses from all over the world to compete here.
Sha Tin Racecourse has two grandstands, divided into members' seats and public seats. The members' seats welcome members and guests, while the public seats are open to the public and domestic and foreign tourists. The admission fee is $1
0(Every time I go to Hong Kong, whether it is Happy Valley Racecourse or Sha Tin Racecourse, I have gone there several times and participated in betting. However, I don’t know whether it is because I am not lucky or I don’t know the horses in Hong Kong. I bet every time.
More than a hundred, but so many times, the horse I bought has never finished in the top three.?). The grandstand is equipped with a betting hall, catering facilities, etc., and the membership area also has facilities such as members' and horse owners' rooms.
.
As a member of the Jockey Club, Liu Luanxiong can naturally enter the luxurious members' reception room with open air conditioning. The members' seats are actually built on a protruding floor, where they can not only overlook the entire Sha Tin Racecourse, but also have the clearest view.
Replays, payouts and odds at the finish line and on the big screen.
Feng Yifeng, who was following Liu Luanxiong, came to the member reception room for the first time. Although it cannot be said that Grandma Liu was mesmerized when she entered the Grand View Garden, the equipment in the member seats is indeed more complete than outside. In addition to the air-conditioning being turned on, there is no need to bear the heat in the open air.
day
Rain or shine, there is also a separate betting counter here, so there is no need to crowd with people in the betting hall outside. In addition to these, the member room also provides catering and telephone betting services, allowing members to enjoy horse racing without going out.
The excitement comes.
The members' room is refreshing and quiet. Everyone who appears here, regardless of gender, is well-dressed. It is not as noisy as the public seats where ordinary citizens sit outside. To be able to become a member of the Jockey Club, you must not only have a certain amount of money, but also a certain amount of money.
Only wealthy aristocrats, gentlemen and celebrities, high-ranking Hong Kong government officials, celebrities in society, etc. can apply. The Jockey Club will issue this kind of membership only after strict investigation and review.
"Follow me. Mr. Deng is in the exclusive membership room inside. Only a small number of people are qualified to enter." Liu Luanxiong pulled Feng Yifeng, who was still watching around, and asked him to follow him. Feng Yifeng did not have membership qualifications.
If you get separated and are seen by the waiters here, you will definitely be asked to leave.
He walked a few steps faster and walked side by side with Liu Luanxiong. However, Feng Yifeng still looked around at the wealthy celebrities who were holding binoculars and standing at the viewing window made of floor-to-ceiling glass to watch the race on the track. Here, he saw several
Young and familiar figures, these people
They are all the new generation of young rich people who later promoted the economic development of Hong Kong. However, most of them now are about the same age as Feng Yifeng, or only a few years older than him, and they all still retain a sense of youth. No one thought that this group of
People's future will be closely related to the development of Hong Kong.
"Didn't you say that Mr. Deng's body has not recovered yet? Why did he come to the racecourse to watch the horse racing today?" Feng Yifeng asked.
"Mr. Deng has rarely appeared in public in the past two years. Firstly, he is getting older and his health is really not in good condition. Secondly, he has basically let go of his business and does not want to get too involved in management. He feels there is no need to hinder young people.
The reason why he came to the Jockey Club this time was because he had been ill for a while and wanted to go out for a walk. I happened to have made several appointments for you, so Mr. Deng wanted to meet you." Liu Luanxiong said and already came to a door.
In front of the gate made of nanmen.
A beautiful woman wearing the uniform of a Jockey Club staff member saw Liu Luanxiong and Feng Yifeng approaching and did not mean to stop them. Instead, she turned around and opened the nanmu door for them, and said to them politely: "Mr. Liu, Deng
I'm already inside, please come in!"
The room is not very big, about 100 square meters. There is a floor-to-ceiling glass viewing window in the front like the outside. Near the wall is a simple small bar filled with world-famous wines. In the middle of the whole room, there is a square
There were three large leather sofas, and four people were sitting on the sofas. They did not notice Liu Luanxiong and Feng Yifeng coming in at all.
These four people all look very young, but they all have their backs to Liu Luanxiong and Feng Yifeng, so they can't see who is their target at the racecourse today - Deng Zhaojian. One is wearing sportswear.
, the man with a slicked back hair stood up, pointed at the big screen on the racecourse, and laughed loudly: "Haha! Look, my horse's odds have increased again, and it is already a favorite. You still don't believe it.
Can I pull the winning horse?"
A voice came from the sofa and said calmly: "Lao Guo, it seems that every time you have a horse to race, you will say this, but I haven't seen you pull the winner several times. Is it you?
Haven't you mastered the art of flattering yet? So your horse doesn't listen to you, and every time you sprint, it loses its nose?"
"Well, Feng Jingxi, how many times have your horses won the first place? You had two horses in the race before, and they didn't even make it to the top three. How dare you blame me?" The man named Lao Guo was very angry that his old friend had slandered him.
The famous lady, who had worked so hard to buy it from Scotland, immediately shouted back.
When someone mentioned that he was in pain, an old man who was sitting on the sofa with a bit of baldness stood up. It must be Feng Jingxi whom Lao Guo called. He pointed at Lao Guo and cursed angrily: "You damn Lao Guo, you know that my horse is good at it."
If you run long distances, not short distance races, losing is normal. What else do you mean by this? Can you guarantee that your horse will definitely come first? I don’t think so." Finally, he looked at it with scornful eyes.
Xia Lao Guo is full of provocation.
Lao Guo also seemed to be really angry, and counterattacked: "What about long-distance and short-distance? If you lose, you lose. Where do you get so many excuses? The explanation is just a cover-up. If you can't afford to lose, I think you should give your few
Just send the horse to humane destruction, there is no need for the citizens below to lose money."
"You...you...cough!" Feng Jingxi was choked by Lao Guo and couldn't speak. She even coughed loudly because she was choking on her own saliva.
"Okay! Okay! You are so old, why are you still arguing about this? Let the young people laugh." A voice that sounded old and tired, but also majestic, steady and peaceful interrupted Lao Guo.
The quarrel with Feng Jingxi.
When the two old men who were having a good time just now heard this voice, they changed their tit-for-tat and slandered each other. They both smiled and said to the old man who had spoken: "Mr. Deng is right." However, the two of them were still talking.
After finishing speaking, they all turned their attention to Liu Luanxiong and Feng Yifeng who had just entered.
It was still the same voice just now, but this time he asked in a gentle tone: "Da Liu? Why don't you hum when you come? Do you want to see the jokes of us old men?"
Liu Luanxiong took Feng Yifeng's arm, walked around the sofa to the front, and said respectfully to the shaved old man sitting in the middle of the sofa: "Mr. Deng! Da Liu is here to see you."
The old man's eyebrows are completely white, and the two long eyebrows hang on his deep eyes, diluting the heavy pressure brought by those eyes. However, those eyes still have a dignified light that cannot be looked into. Under the wide nose, there is a tight smile.
The closed and narrow mouth, set off by the slightly rounded chin, depicts an extremely tenacious will.
The old man nodded to Liu Luanxiong and turned his attention to Feng Yifeng. An invisible pressure made Feng Yifeng feel that he was being seen through. His every move and thought were clearly seen. In the air-conditioned room where there was enough air conditioning, Feng Yifeng felt that he was being seen through.
In the room, bursts of cold sweat broke out on my back.
"Which Feng Yifeng of mine have you wanted to meet so many times? The boss behind the 'Angel Fund' and the 'Grand Hotel Group'? Not bad, very good, young and promising!" the old man said in a tone of appreciation and admiration. But suddenly he changed his mind.
When he came back, his words became much stiffer: "We are born
Yiren, what I'm talking about is to be honest and aboveboard, don't do some tricks behind your back, which will make people look down on you. If Da Liu hadn't said all the good things for you, I wouldn't have seen you. Tell me, what do you want to see me for? No.
Are you interested in the shares of the company I hold and want to acquire them?"
Feng Yifeng didn't know what he had done and how he had offended Deng Shiu Kin, a great philanthropist in Hong Kong who was famous for his frugal life, enthusiasm for public welfare and generous donations. Why did he speak to him in this tone? He looked at him with a pleading look.
Xiang Liu Luanxiong, hoping he would give some advice to himself.
Liu Luanxiong naturally knew what was going on. He leaned over and whispered in Feng Yifeng's ear: "It's because you acquired the Grand Hotel Group last time and used suppliers, labor unions and the media to deal with the Kadoorie family."
It suddenly dawned on him, but Feng Yifeng didn’t feel that he had done anything wrong. The shopping mall was like a battlefield, and he would win the final victory by any means necessary. Was it wrong? Facing Deng Zhaojian’s eyes like a deep pool, Feng Yifeng also said forcefully: "If Mr. Deng thinks that I
If you make mistakes or you are not satisfied with the way I do things, I have no problem with that and I am happy to do it.
I can get Mr. Deng’s advice and testimony. However, I don’t think I am doing tricks behind the scenes. Shopping malls are like battlefields, and every resource must be fully utilized. Only then can it be considered a successful acquisition. Kadoorie’s failure was theirs
It has been caused by being inactive and conservative for many years, and I am like no one else. If Mr. Deng thinks that what I have done is wrong, I have nothing to say."
"Hahaha! Well said, well said. Young people are to be feared, young people are to be feared!" The only one still sitting on the sofa who had not spoken a word, a black-haired, gentle and elegant old man said: "Don't scare them, Mr. Deng.
You are a young man, and the stock market is like this. If Kadoorie can't protect its ancestral business, what does it have to do with others? I think what Mr. Feng said is right."
"Well!" Lao Guo also joined in and said: "Indeed, shopping malls are like battlefields. Although there is no blood, they are often more cruel than flesh-and-blood battlefields. Survival of the fittest, the weak and the strong, this is the law of the jungle, and no one can change it. However, young people must
Know how to respect the elders, and know how to distinguish between superior and inferior when speaking. If you are too strong, you will be easily broken. After all, Mr. Deng is an elder. How difficult is it to recognize a sentence mistake? "...
