"Chairman." Feng Jing's voice was filled with a hint of fatigue.

During this period, her sleep time was greatly reduced, and she had just finished the plane, so she was in a state of depression.

"Has the plane landed?" Xia Ruofei asked with a smile, "Have the road gone smoothly?"

"It's pretty good, I'm on the way back to the farm." Feng Jing said with a smile, "Lingyun sent a car to pick it up."

"That's good." Xia Ruofei smiled, "There is something here that needs you to follow up."

Feng Jing joked: "You big capitalist are so good at exploiting! I just finished the press conference and haven't even returned to the company yet! I'm starting to pay responsibilities again..."

"Hehe, who made you more capable?" Xia Rufei smiled dryly.

Then, he briefly told Feng Jing about the matter he had discussed with Old Black in the morning.

After hearing this, Feng Jing couldn't help but say in surprise: "Chairman, you have negotiated such a big business in just half a day? Yes!"

Xia Ruofei couldn't help rolling his eyes and said, "Do you really think that the chairman of me is a decoration? Is he a good meal?"

Feng Jing laughed and said, "Who made you always like to give up?"

"I even did your job at the auction yesterday, which isn't enough?" Xia Ruofei said depressedly.

"That's a special situation!" Feng Jing said mercilessly, "Why do I take a long vacation and you can feel the taste of the company's general manager?"

When Xia Rufei thought of those cumbersome daily management affairs, he couldn't help but feel overwhelmed and said quickly: "No, no, don't, you still have to stick to your post! Now the company is developing rapidly and the staff is seriously insufficient. It's not enough to leave you! When everything stabilizes after a while, I'll give you a holiday! Let you travel abroad!"

Feng Jing curled her lips and said, "I just know how to squeeze labor..."

Xia Rufei smiled dryly, and then said, "When talking about this, I think the company's structure is not perfect enough, and the problem of personnel gap has not been solved well. When I come back, we will study it carefully. We need to enrich some senior management. In addition, it is best to make some talent reserves. The next step is that our company will not expand slowly..."

"I know, I have been thinking about this issue," Feng Jing said, "I will find time to make up for my ideas, and write something for you to take a look!"

"Well, thank you for your hard work, Mr. Feng!" Xia Ruofei said. This time he did not make fun of him, and his tone was very sincere.

"It's good that you know..." Feng Jing said with a smile in her eyes.

Then the two of them got back to the topic.

"Mr. Feng, the people from the Black Group should be in Sanshan in the past two days. They are more anxious." Xia Ruofei said, "You are responsible for contacting you at that time, mainly the following items..."

"Chief, wait, I'll remember it." Feng Jing said.

There was a noise coming from the phone. Feng Jing should be looking for a notebook.

"Okay, tell me!" Feng Jing said quickly.

"The core is the conditions I negotiated with Old Black. There is no discount, a premium of 10%, guaranteed acquisitions in the coming year, no resale, etc. There are also matters related to George Black that must be written into the agreement appendix as a prerequisite for the entry into force of the agreement." Xia Ruofei said.

Feng Jing quickly recorded it and said, "I remember all these, what else?"

"They should ask for a confidentiality agreement, mainly George Black's matter, and they can't afford to lose this person." Xia Ruofei said, "I have agreed to this, but for the sake of confidentiality, you should not lead the team to follow up on this matter. Just yourself! It's not a difficult negotiation anyway."

"I understand!" Feng Jing said.

"There is also the issue of confidentiality. We have to sign an agreement. The acquisition agreement, especially the content of the annex, cannot be leaked at all, otherwise we can slap it in the face." Xia Ruofei said.

"Well, don't worry! I know the importance of this agreement. I will go through a special process and will not register with the company. Then I will rent a safe in the bank to store it." Feng Jing said.

"This is the best." Xia Ruofei said, "Also, although it is a long-term supply agreement, there is still a time limit. If you want to talk about this, it will be fine for three or five years. I will give you full autonomy."

Anyway, the acquisition agreement is priced according to the auction price of that year. If the auction price of that year is lower than the previous year, the price can be guaranteed in the previous year, so Xia Rufei doesn't care much about the time limit.

But it is better to be less. Anyway, Taoyuan truffles don’t have to worry about selling them. There are no contract restrictions. If you are unhappy in cooperation with Black Group, you can terminate them at any time.

Of course, Black Group must have wanted to sign a long-term contract. After all, it paid such a great price. Although George Black is a prodigal son, he is a family leader after all. Old Black beat him to the end without saying a word. It was only three to five years of contract, so it was probably not easy for them to accept it.

It depends on how Feng Jing talks.

Feng Jing said calmly: "I understand that I will report to you at any time during the negotiation process."

"Okay! After you go back, you have a good rest for two days! You are really too tired during this period, so you should pay attention to your health." Xia Ruofei said.

Feng Jing felt a little warm in her heart and said softly: "I understand..."

If Feng Jing had to make some jokes, how could she stop the company's so many things? However, after hearing Xia Rufei's ordinary words, a warm current surged in her heart, and the words changed when they were on her lips.

Not long after the phone call with Feng Jing, Ma Xiong came to visit the Presidential Suite in person.

"Xia Sheng, thank you for giving me this face!" Ma Xiong said as soon as he met.

Xia Ruofei knew that he was talking about Old Black, so he smiled faintly and said, "Mr. Ma, you are so serious. Do business! Who would not be able to get along with money? Besides, George Black is the one who had a holiday with me. It is also true that they can handle George Black in this way."

"Haha! No matter what, you are giving me Ma Xiong a face, I know what it means!" Ma Xiong said, "Old Black just now kept expressing his gratitude to me!"

"I won't talk about this anymore. We don't have to be so heretic." Xia Ruofei said with a faint smile.

"That's right!" Ma Xiong said with a smile, "There is a horse racing tonight. If there is nothing to do in the afternoon, go with me to have fun? Mr. Guo called me early in the morning!"

"Okay! The guest will follow the host!" Xia Ruofei said.

Horse racing culture in Hong Kong is very popular and has formed a complete industrial chain, such as auction, training, transportation, veterinary, betting, etc. Of course, this huge industry has also supported a large number of media: horse racing TV programs, radio, and horse scriptures of major newspapers. Behind it, a large group of professional horse racing analysts and commentators have also been supported.

Xia Ruofei has long heard of this. Since he has the chance today, he wants to see it.

Ma Xiong said, "Then let's set off at five o'clock, you can take a break in the afternoon."

"Okay, I'll follow your arrangement!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Ma Xiong chatted with Xia Rufei for a few more words, then said goodbye and left.

He didn't go home either, so he opened a luxurious suite in the hotel to rest.

At about five o'clock, Xia Rufei and Ma Xiong rode his extended Bentley to the Happy Valley of Hong Kong Island.

A place like the horse farm is not suitable for taking children, so Huanhuan did not come this time, and Ma Zhiming and Tian Huixin and his wife did not join in the fun.

Happy Valley is located in the southeast of Wan Chai District. The first racecourse on Hong Kong Island was built here. Horse racing events began to be held here as early as 1846.

On the way, Ma Xiong also introduced the horse racing culture of Hong Kong Island and the history of Happy Valley Racecourse to Xia Ruofei with great interest. After hearing this, Xia Ruofei felt that he had gained a lot of knowledge.

When night fell, they had already arrived at the Happy Valley Racecourse.

A wealthy man like Ma Xiong is naturally one of the Jockey Club members. Their cars drive directly to the exclusive parking area for members. They do not need to walk around half of the horse farm like ordinary spectators to reach the entrance.

Guo Hongjiang is a director of the Jockey Club, so he naturally has an independent private room in the horse farm, and it is a first-class private room with excellent location.

However, Ma Xiong came to support him in person, and brought Xia Rufei, who Guo Hongjiang wanted to make friends with him deliberately, so he did not ask the host to wait in the private room, but went to the member parking area to greet him in person.

"Mr. Ma, Mr. Xia, welcome!" Guo Hongjiang said with a warm smile on his face.

"Dr. Guo personally welcomes you. It seems that Xia Sheng is very proud of his face!" Ma Xiong said jokingly.

"Mr. Ma, aren't you going to take my army?" Xia Ruofei smiled bitterly, "Dr. Guo is here to pick up your old man. How dare I work with me, a junior?"

Guo Hongjiang said with a smile: "Both are my distinguished guests! Come on, please come upstairs!"

The members' private rooms are all on the second floor of the stand, and there is a direct staircase next to the member's parking lot, and you will get there in a few steps.

The spacious private room is situated with a soft and comfortable sofa. The direction facing the horse farm is a whole surface of floor-to-ceiling glass, which can clearly see the situation of the entire horse farm.

Xia Rufei saw that there were already many people in the ordinary stands downstairs. What’s interesting is that there are not many young people in the horse farm, most of them are middle-aged and some elderly people, and almost everyone has a horse scripture. Most of them are busy studying and rarely communicate with people next to them.

Needless to say, the majority of the audience bets on horseback.

It can be seen that Hong Kong citizens are still very gambled.

Guo Hongjiang asked with a smile: "It's the first time Mr. Xia has arrived at the horse farm, right?"

Xia Ruofei took his gaze from the stands, smiled and nodded and said, "Yes! Mr. Guo, it's still a long time before the game begins? I think the attendance rate in this racecourse is already very high!"

"Horse betting has become a part of the daily life of many Hong Kong people." Guo Hongjiang said with a smile, "The Happy Valley has a full night game every week, and there are still many people who have not had time to enter!"

Ma Xiong sighed: "I have watched horse racing in the UK before, and the atmosphere is completely different from that of our Hong Kong Island!"

"Oh?" Xia Rufei said with great interest, "Mr. Ma tells me?"

Ma Xiong said: "In the UK, horse racing is also a culture. For horse fans in these countries, watching horse racing on site is more of an opportunity for friends to gather and a social entertainment. Therefore, most of them wear horse racing on site, and they will wear regular clothes. During the competition, they will also drink and chat. It is common for families to have picnics directly on the grass on the racecourse. As for horse gambling, it is just an optional episode."

Speaking of this, Ma Xiong also looked at the audience in the stands who were busy studying the horse scriptures, shook his head and said, "After this sport was spread to Hong Kong Island, it felt like it changed. Simply put, it was a gamble but less than horses. Everyone had no love for horse racing itself. The so-called horse racing culture was better than a gambler. You could enter the horse farm even if you were dressed in a sloppy manner. You were basically busy studying the horse scriptures. You would occasionally communicate with people next to you, and that was also a three-word gambler..."

Guo Hongjiang smiled and said, "Mr. Ma, gambling on horse culture is also culture!"

Ma Xiong said: "As a businessman, it is not good to bet too much."

Guo Hongjiang laughed and said, "Mr. Ma, you are not like a Hong Kong islander at all!"

Then Guo Hongjiang said to Xia Ruofei: "Mr. Xia, how many Hong Kong people don't like to bet on horses now? The total number of local betting in Hong Kong Island was about HK$180 billion, of which about HK$100 billion were horse racing betting! But Mr. Ma, a veteran Hong Kong island rich man, doesn't like to bet on horses at all, and has no interest in becoming a director of the Jockey Club. Even this Jockey Club member was forced to join. In fact, he rarely comes to the horse farm."

"It's understandable that personal interests are different." Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

Ma Xiong also smiled self-deprecatingly and said, "Maybe I am old and my mind is rigid! Xia Sheng, for the first time you are here to see a horse racing, you can buy a few bets to play with, just treat it as a fun thing, just don't be addicted to it."

Xia Ruofei smiled and waved his hand and said, "I'm not very interested in betting. Today I'm just watching the fun."

Although Ma Xiong said he didn't like to bet on horses, as a Hong Kong islander, he naturally had a deep understanding of betting on horses. He smiled and said, "You really want to buy a few bets today, just treat it as a supporter for Mr. Guo."

"Oh? How do you say this?" Xia Ruofei asked curiously.

Guo Hongjiang smiled and said, "I'll tell you myself! One of the horses participating in the competition tonight is mine."

Ma Xiong took over the conversation and said, "Xia Sheng, this horse from Mr. Guo is the champion! He has won the Asian Championship! It is also the favorite to win the championship tonight!"

"Is that true?" Xia Rufei's eyes fell on the electronic display screen in the box.

The horses participating tonight have been listed here, and there are real-time odds next to them.

The odds calculation of horse racing are very complicated and there are various ways to play. However, the overall calculation principle is to add up everyone's bets and distribute them to the buyers according to the ratio. This ratio is the odds. Of course, the total amount of this bet must be deducted by a certain proportion of taxes and fees before being distributed.

If the bet amount of popular horses is large, the odds will naturally be low; if the odds of unpopular horses are relatively high, of course, the risks will be high.

Odds vary in real time based on the bet amount of each horse. The odds will not be fixed until the bets are closed before the game is closed and no longer accepted.

After Xia Ruofei glanced at him, he asked with a smile: "So, is this 'Hong Kong Island Star' the beloved horse of Mr. Guo?"
Chapter completed!
