"More than 20 million Hong Kong dollars!" Xia Ruofei couldn't help but feel a little shocked when he heard this.

Ma Xiong said with a smile: "For a racing horse, such a price is not an exaggeration at all! Xia Sheng, do you know how much the most expensive purebred horse is worth? More than 60 million, US dollars!"

"This is a real 'BMW'!" Xia Rufei joked, "It's much more expensive than a BMW..."

Guo Hongjiang couldn't help laughing when he heard this and said, "It's really expensive to play horse racing. A good horse is worth a lot of money. In addition, the maintenance, training, etc. of horses are also very expensive in a year. Not to mention anything else, if you go to another place to participate in the competition, the cost of transportation will be hundreds of thousands of Hong Kong dollars each time!"

"This is really a sports for rich people..." Xia Ruofei couldn't help but sigh.

Guo Hongjiang smiled and said, "It's not entirely true. There is no way to play with money and no money!"

After saying that, he pointed to the stand downstairs and said, "The betting horses on Hong Kong Island can be said to be almost the whole people participate, and the threshold is very low. The admission ticket for Happy Valley Racecourse only costs HK$10, just swipe the Octopus directly, and the betting threshold is also very low. You can buy it for HK$10, and there are many ways to play. You can buy it for one win, buy location, buy it for a win, etc...."

Ma Xiong smiled and said, "Dr. Guo, if you have time later, you can take Xia Sheng to see your beloved horse!"

"No problem! The Hong Kong Island Star should be undergoing various inspections now, and you cannot contact the outside world before the game." Guo Hongjiang said with a smile, "But before the game begins, I can take Mr. Xia down to take a close look!"

Xia Ruofei nodded, glanced in the private room, and said with a smile: "Actually, you don't need to see it. The photos here should be from the 'Hong Kong Island Star', right?"

This private room is exclusive to Guo Hongjiang. Even if he doesn't come, it will not be open to the public, so the decoration and layout of the private room are arranged according to Guo Hongjiang's preferences.

There are many photos hanging on the wall of the private room, all of which are of the same horse. Since the "Hong Kong Star" is so popular with Guo Hongjiang, it is not difficult to guess.

Guo Hongjiang smiled and nodded and said, "Yes! These photos were just replaced this year. The horse I had previously retired, and there are a few more that have not met the standards for participating in the competition yet."

Then he sighed and said, "It's not easy to find a good horse these days!"

Ma Xiong joked: "Isn't it enough for you to have this 'Hong Kong Island Star'? I wonder how many people envy you!"

"Haha! That's because I have a good vision!" Guo Hongjiang said proudly, "I was optimistic about this horse not long after I was born. I bought it and trained it for a long time!"

Xia Ruofei was a little surprised and said, "That is to say, when a little foal was first, Mr. Guo spent more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars?"

Ma Xiong smiled and said, "This is normal! Mr. Guo has a special team, he has rich experience and a very accurate vision! The bloodline of the "Hong Kong Star" is very pure, and his father is also a champion horse, so it is normal for the high price of the foal! Now, the "Hong Kong Star" has won so many championships, and the value is definitely more than 20 million Hong Kong dollars, and it will be more than doubled!"

After Ma Xiong said that, he looked at Guo Hongjiang.

Guo Hongjiang smiled proudly and said, "This value is meaningless. I can't sell the 'Hong Kong Island Star' anyway, this is my treasure!"

"That's it! Hong Kong Island, Mr. Guo loves horses as his life, this is well known to everyone!" Ma Xiong teased.

"Haha! People always have to have some hobbies!" Guo Hongjiang said with a smile, then looked at Xia Rufei and asked, "Xia Sheng, are you interested in buying a few bets? My 'Hong Kong Star' performance is relatively stable, and there are no strong opponents tonight's game, so it should be no big problem to win."

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "Okay! Then let's have fun, but the meaning is all right, the focus is on entertainment!"

When it comes to Guo Hongjiang and the others, it is impossible to really bet a big deal.

In fact, Guo Hongjiang's horse racing has become a step away from the pursuit of ordinary citizens. It is a bit like the foreign horse racing culture mentioned by Ma Xiong. Guo Hongjiang regards this horse racing as an entertainment and social occasion, and talks about horses with his friends and enjoys the competition.

As for how much profit and how much bonus the horse racing can bring to him, it doesn’t matter. He is the king of real estate in Hong Kong. Every minute the profits created by the company are greater than the income of a horse racing. What’s more, maybe casual chatting in the private room will make a business, and the income brought can be bought by ten "Hong Kong Island Stars".

"Okay! You can bet directly in the private room! I'll teach you!" Guo Hongjiang said happily.

Hong Kong Island horse racing has developed to this day and has formed a very mature industrial chain. Now even if you don’t have the site, you can still bet.

The Internet is so developed that it can even accept overseas bets now.

Of course, there is also a spacious indoor trading hall in the horse farm, with crowds and busy staff at any time.

Guo Hongjiang, the Jockey Club director, can naturally bet at will.

Guo Hongjiang took Xia Ruofei to a device next to him that looked a bit similar to a KTV song ordering machine, and started operating it on the touch screen.

Although Xia Rufei invested 10,000 Hong Kong dollars to buy entertainment, it is impossible for him to really only buy HK$10, which is too disgrace.

As for the betting target, it is naturally to buy Guo Hongjiang’s “Hong Kong Island Star” and win alone.

Even if this horse is not favored, Xia Rufei will not be able to buy another horse. If that is the case, the emotional intelligence will be too low.

Guo Hongjiang smiled and helped Xia Rufei complete the betting, handed over the horse ticket similar to the mainland lottery style printed in the terminal to Xia Rufei, and then said: "Mr. Xia, although the odds of 'Hong Kong Island Star' are not high, the victory is stable. There should be no suspense in this game. It is still okay to make a few thousand Hong Kong dollars at that time!"

"Haha! Then I'll thank Mr. Guo for his blessing!" Xia Ruofei laughed.

Night falls.

Guo Hongjiang ordered someone to send a sumptuous dinner, and specially opened a bottle of red wine he had collected, and invited Xia Rufei and Ma Xiong to have a meal in the horse farm private room.

Of course, there will be only one game in the nightclub. In fact, there will be eight horse racing games tonight, each game is half an hour apart. Guo Hongjiang's "Hong Kong Island Star" plays around 8:30 pm.

So when everyone was having a meal, the competition had already started on the field.

Xia Rufei could also feel the fanatical atmosphere of Hong Kong horse racing.

The ordinary stands below were full. When the horse racing was ready to go, the crowd could no longer sit still, and almost everyone stood.

And the moment I set off, the entire racecourse was almost boiling.

Everyone waved the horse tickets and horse scriptures in their hands, and shouted in various languages, including English and Cantonese, and of course, Hong Kong Island horse racing is almost an indispensable tour for mainland tourists.

Even in the member box with very good sound insulation, Xia Rufei could feel the vibration of the entire stand, and the shouts below also came in waves.

“e on!”

“u get it!”

"No. 7! No. 7! Go!"

"No. 5! Go! Go!"

Cheers, whistles, and shouts resounded through the sky.

The track is not long, and the race time is actually very short. In a blink of an eye, the horse racers have already crossed the finish line.

At this moment, it seemed like an invisible big hand was controlling it. Everyone looked at the big screen in the center of the grassland. Without the help of the camera, it was difficult to tell who would win and who would lose. Amid the screams and shouts of the previous minute, no one knew whether the horse they bet was half a position ahead.

The result was soon displayed on the big screen.

The ones who bought it were naturally ecstatic, especially the one who won this game was an unpopular horse, with the odds that were so high.

Many people raised their heads and laughed, or hugged warmly with their companions next to them.

Of course, more people were extremely disappointed and sat down dejectedly. Some people walked towards the indoor trading hall without saying a word. There was still half an hour left for the next game to start again. They had to seize the time to bet.

The crazy sentient beings in the stands formed a sharp contrast with the calm scenes in the private room, and Xia Rufei couldn't help but feel a little emotional in his heart.

During the competition, Guo Hongjiang did not forget to comment on the horses participating. When the big screen showed that No. 2 won at all not favored before the competition, he was a little surprised.

Guo Hongjiang smiled and said, "I'm losing a lot now. I bought No. 5 and won the money alone..."

Xia Ruofei said unexpectedly: "Dr. Guo also bought this one?"

"Just just have fun!" Guo Hongjiang shrugged and said.

Ma Xiong smiled and said, "I'm not a little fun, right?"

"It's a hundred thousand!" Guo Hongjiang said indifferently, "I didn't expect No. 5 to be so unsatisfied. In fact, horses are good horses, but the training is not very good, and the guarantee probably didn't keep up. The rear range was obviously slowed down, and the jockey almost made me feel..."

Xia Rufei couldn't help but shook his head secretly. Guo Hongjiang really likes to bet on horses. His bets are counted for one million Hong Kong dollars. This is not his own horse to participate in the competition. I don't know if he bought the "Hong Kong Island Star" game. I guess he must have bought a lot of them.

But Xia Rufei naturally wouldn't ask about this kind of thing.

After dinner, Guo Hongjiang asked someone to take down the items, but the bottle of red wine was still left in the private room. The three of them also held the wine glasses and chatted while clinking glasses from time to time to take a sip. The atmosphere was very leisurely, which was in sharp contrast to the madness in the stands.

Guo Hongjiang raised his hand and looked at his watch, saying, "It's almost time. Mr. Xia, let's go down to see how 'Hong Kong Island Star' is like?"

"Okay! I have to see the BMW that costs tens of millions of Hong Kong dollars at close range!" Xia Ruofei said with a smile.

So the three of them put down their wine glasses, left the box under Guo Hongjiang's leadership, and walked down an internal staircase.

The "Hong Kong Star" competition is next, but in order to give everyone a time to bet, there will be about 30 minutes between the two games. Now these horses are preparing for the competition.

Xia Rufei only found out when he got downstairs that although he was looking at it closely, he was not very close.

The horses are about to participate in the competition. In order to prevent unexpected situations, no one else is allowed to approach them at this time. Only the participating horses and the jockeys are together.

Xia Ruofei, Guo Hongjiang and Ma Xiong saw the "Hong Kong Island Star" ten meters away through the fence.

This is a brown stallion, and Xia Rufei couldn't see any tricks, but he felt that the jockey in full gear next to him looked majestic.

Ma Xiong said from the side: "Xia Sheng, Mr. Guo's 'Hong Kong Island Star' is still very good! Look at its fur color, and its chest and hip muscles are clear, especially the hind legs muscles. It looks very strong at first glance and its eyes are bright and bright. It is indeed a good horse!"

Although Ma Xiong doesn't like gambling horses, as a Hong Kong islander, Xia Ruofei's understanding of horse racing is far from that.

Guo Hongjiang was not humble at this time and said with a smile: "Mr. Xia, the horse's horse's hoof and legs structure is a standard 'diea' structure, which is almost the most perfect horse racing structure. Look at the horse next to him, which is a 'bow-kneed' structure. Although this little flaw does not affect the game, for the horse racing where the winner and the loss are on the front line, this little flaw may be the difference between the champion and the last one!"

Xia Ruofei looked carefully at the horse that Guo Hongjiang mentioned. After comparing it with "Hong Kong Island Star" for a long time, he still couldn't see the difference between the two horses' legs and horse hooves.

Guo Hongjiang also knew that what he said was a bit too professional, and said with a dry smile: "Mr. Xia, just listen to what I said. In short, my innate conditions of "Hong Kong Island Star" are almost perfect. In addition, I hired a top team for training and training, so I have achieved a lot of good results this year."

Xia Ruofei nodded and said, "It seems that I can make a small profit tonight..."

Guo Hongjiang laughed and said, "It shouldn't be that you will lose money!"

Then the three of them looked through the fence for a while. Xia Rufei listened to Guo Hongjiang's comments on the competitors of "Hong Kong Star", and felt that they had either problems here or flaws there. Anyway, "Hong Kong Star" seemed to have won.

It was not until the race was about to begin and the horse racing and the jockeys went to the starting point of the track that the three returned to the private room. After all, they could not see clearly downstairs. The view inside the private room was the best, and the entire track was fully visible.

Although he was full of confidence, the competition was about to begin, and Guo Hongjiang was still a little nervous, which could be seen from his eyes.

After Guo Hongjiang returned to the private room, he immediately walked to the floor-to-ceiling glass, quickly found the position of "Hong Kong Island Star", and then raised his telescope to check carefully.

After a while of waiting, the competition officially began.

Under the control of the jockey, the horses rushed forward like arrows, leaving bursts of smoke and dust behind them.

The cheers and whistles in the venue sounded again, and Xia Rufei also felt the vibration of the stands again.

Although Guo Hongjiang did not lose his composure like an ordinary audience, he also clenched his fists tightly and stared at the track intently, as if he was exerting force on the "Hong Kong Island Star".

Guo Hongjiang is right. The "Hong Kong Island Star" has very superior innate conditions and is in the leading position as soon as he sets off. Although the leading advantage in horse racing is often not very big, you can still see that the "Hong Kong Island Star" is indeed the first place.

Just when Xia Rufei thought that the "Hong Kong Island Star" was about to win the game without any suspense, an unexpected situation occurred on the court...
