Chapter 429: Latecomers come first
Ge Xiaohua ate local food at a food stall in Hong Kong and was impressed by the richness and deliciousness of Hong Kong food. He couldn't help but become interested in the food culture here. Moreover, with Cai Long, a gourmet, accompanying him to explain, Ge Xiaohua had a better understanding of Hong Kong culture.
More knowledge.
This is also Ge Xiaohua's first time coming to Hong Kong, so he is still very unfamiliar. After all, his impression of Hong Kong is only from TV. After dinner, Ge Xiaohua went to the hotel to rest. He will go to the racecourse tomorrow.
The next day, Cai Long couldn't accompany him because he had something to do. After all, he was almost 70 years old. Being able to pick him up in person was already considered a great deal of respect for Ge Xiaohua. However, he didn't just have Cai Long as a Hong Kong friend in Hong Kong, so he contacted Ouyang Yecheng.
, coincidentally, Ouyang Yecheng was working in Hong Kong during this period and did not go to the Puhai branch.
Ouyang Yecheng, whom I haven't seen for a long time, is more capable and has opened a branch in Puhai. As the person in charge, Ouyang Yecheng has full command and authority. Moreover, under Ouyang Yecheng's management, Puhai Company has great development potential.
It is very big, and it has a long-term title with "Super Blacksmith", so its reputation has increased a lot, and the company's image has been greatly improved.
"Xiaohua, why do you have time to come to Hong Kong?"
"We're here to watch the horse racing competition. Ouyang, are you free to come with us?"
"I'm just going."
Ge Xiaohua and Ouyang Yecheng communicated on WeChat and found that Ouyang Yecheng also planned to watch horse racing today. It seems that horse racing is a part of life for Hong Kong people, and they still take it very seriously. This is why Hong Kong's equestrian level is relatively high.
The reason is that the treatment of riders and racehorses is very high, forming a complete industrial chain.
The crowded racecourse was full of people, and Ouyang Yecheng had tickets to the VIP room, so thanks to Ouyang Yecheng, Ge Xiaohua didn't have to queue up to buy tickets and be crowded.
The huge transparent glass is aimed at the center of the racecourse, allowing for a high-quality viewing experience. There are also several huge screens that will take close-ups of the situation inside the racecourse and broadcast real-time live broadcasts. Judging from the supporting facilities in the VIP room,
Horse racing is a mainstream entertainment event in Hong Kong, but there are basically very few such competitions in China. Even if they are held, not many people come to watch them, making it impossible to achieve such a popular scale.
Of course, Ge Xiaohua also understands that there are many entanglements of interests involved behind these, which are prohibited in China.
"Xiaohua, you said No. 9 is your racehorse Meteor?"
"Yes, what's wrong?"
"This horse is the No. 3 championship horse seed that is the focus of this competition."
"So there are two other champion horses seeded?"
Ouyang Yecheng began to introduce the origins of the other two horses. They were all pureblood horses worth tens of millions of dollars, sweat-blooded BMWs and the like. They were airlifted from the UK and the Netherlands for this competition, and the riders
Their identities also have extraordinary origins. Each of them has won an Olympic championship and a major horse racing championship.
The riding skills are still extremely amazing, and coupled with the high-quality horses, this game is still very interesting.
"How do you say that No. 2 and No. 8 are the candidate seeds for this championship horse? Is it more likely to be a shooting star than No. 9?"
"Yes, Meteor just won the championship in the last competition, and it was still a small competition. According to the record, the probability of No. 8 winning is 50%. This is also a horse race that many people bet on. The probability of No. 2 winning is 30%.
%, the probability of winning the shooting star on the 9th is 10%, and the other numbers are around a few percent."
Ouyang Yecheng looked at the data on the tablet on his seat and said, it seems that although Meteor is a dark horse, there is still a gap compared with the established champion horses.
"So Ouyang, who do you want to buy?"
"My reason tells me that I should follow the public and buy No. 8, but..."
"But what?"
"If you can give me some confidence, such as some information about Meteor, how can I be sure of victory?"
Ge Xiaohua is also not sure, because although he has built an exclusive horseshoe for Meteor, whether it can adapt to the competition environment in Hong Kong is still a question.
And from the data point of view, the probability of No. 2 and No. 8 winning is higher than that of Ge Xiaohua's Meteor. Although the odds are higher for Meteor, if Meteor wins, you can get a little more reward, but if you lose, it will be lost.
"Small gambling makes you happy, but big gambling is harmful to your health. It's better to bet less in this kind of competition. I don't recommend Ouyang that you make big bets."
"Oh? Don't have confidence in meteors?"
"No, it's just that I think a competition of this nature is mainly for entertainment, so you don't need to pay too much attention to it."
"Haha, so you have confidence in Meteor? Then I'll bet Meteor for HKD 10,000."
"I also have 10,000 Hong Kong dollars."
Ten thousand Hong Kong dollars is indeed a small amount of money for the two of them, and it can be regarded as a small amount of gambling in the true sense. However, those who have invested their entire family's wealth in betting have too high expectations, and the frustration after failure is also very heavy.
The game officially started, the audience cheered and cheered for the horse racing they had bet on, and the venue was immediately lively.
"Come on Meteor!" Ge Xiaohua watched Meteor start in the VIP room. He seemed to be at a disadvantage in terms of speed. At the beginning, he did not have as much advantage as the two champion horses.
Although it started at a slight disadvantage, Meteor gradually closed the distance between No. 2 and No. 8, and the three horses that had the upper hand in the calculation of performance data were indeed on the first rung.
"Meteor's endurance is good." After maintaining full speed until the warning state, No. 2 and No. 8 were obviously exhausted in the second half, and their speed suddenly slowed down, while Meteor had some remaining energy. In the second half, Meteor suddenly accelerated.
Gradually catching up with No. 2 and No. 8.
"No. 9, No. 9!" The whole place suddenly became excited, shouting the number of the shooting star. The atmosphere was extremely intense.
"Meteor! Meteor!" Ge Xiaohua was also affected by the atmosphere and shouted in the VIP room, feeling the warm atmosphere of the Hong Kong racecourse. Ouyang Yecheng, who also bought the meteor for 10,000 Hong Kong dollars like Ge Xiaohua, meant:
I was playing around and lost it, but I didn’t expect Meteor to really reach the first place in the later stage, and its explosive power in the second half was actually many times higher than the previous one, and even the thoroughbred horse was no match.
"Meteor wins, wins!" Ge Xiaohua was extremely excited. He saw a close-up of Meteor on the screen. The meteor he belonged to was now wearing No. 9. Shenjun's unusual meteor was completely different from the one in Gejiacun. The competition this time was still valuable.
For those who are relatively high, after winning, Meteor's worth will further increase.
"Sure enough, the bloodline theory is not suitable for the Meteor you raised!" Meteor's victory greatly subverted the bloodline theory. It seems that the innate advantages can be made up for in the later stages. Ordinary Quarter Horses can also outrun the sweaty BMWs, similar to
We used QQ to compete against supercars, and QQ won in the end, which was quite shocking. However, Meteor itself is the third seed, so it is possible to win.
It's a bit like a latecomer taking over. Ge Xiaohua watched the entire competition of Meteor and knew that it belonged here, so he was relieved. Quarter horses are natural racehorses. It would be a waste of talent to keep them in captivity in a mountain village, so he agreed to let him come.
