In fact, this is also a very normal thing.
After all, Li Yuan was a complete stranger in the horse racing world, and his horse had never participated in any competitions before that. What's more, he still qualified for the competition through the best running results, which makes all the horse owners look down on him.
So even if Grandma Jie personally introduced Li Yuan to others, the horse owners were still very indifferent to him, as if they were indifferent to him.
Li Yuan didn't mind this either. Looking at the horse owners who were chatting and laughing together, he took a glass of champagne and stood in front of the window to watch the night scene.
"Xiao Li, don't mind."***jie quickly came over to comfort Li Yuan: "Those horse owners are arrogant people, they all think their horses are the best, so..."
Li Yuan smiled slightly at Mr. Wang and said, "Mr. Wang, I don't mind. I will let them know what a real good horse is tomorrow."
"Haha, I believe chocolate is definitely the dark horse in this competition." ****Jie also laughed: "At least in one competition."
****Jie also regards Li Yuan as one of his own, that's why he speaks so directly. In his opinion, Chocolate may have the ability to win the next game, but if he has to play two consecutive games within an hour and a half, he may not have enough stamina, so he doesn't have to expect too much for the second game.
Naturally, Li Yuan wouldn't tell his wife Jieming, but just smiled at him and said, "I'm also satisfied if I can win a game."
Speaking of this, Jie Jie said seriously: "I heard from my colleagues at the Jockey Club, today you spent 9 million to buy chocolates and won the first race?"
"Yes." Li Yuan nodded honestly and said, "Didn't you say that horse owners can bet on their own horses? So I just..."
"But you bet nine million." **** Jie said with a wry smile, "What if you lose..."
Li Yuan smiled and said: "It's okay, if you lose, you lose. Just support the Jockey Club and charity."
"Young people are so courageous." **** Jie shook his head and said: "But the odds of chocolate are ten to one, if it wins... you can get at least 80 million after taxation, it is true that the risk is higher Bigger, bigger profits!"
Li Yuan laughed and said, "I'm afraid it's more than that."
"How do you say that?"
"I decided that if I win the first game, I will immediately use all the prize money to buy the second game. At that time..." Li Yuan smiled at **** Jie: "It will depend on the odds of the second game." , but even if it is one to one, the bonus will not be less."
Unexpectedly, Li Yuan planned to play such a big game, even **** Jie couldn't help shaking his head and said: "If Chocolate really wins the first race, then the second race will usher in the biggest single bet ever, you This is going to go down in the history books."
Li Yuan is not very interested in being recorded in history, he just wants to win more money. After all, he has so many confidantes, and he doesn't want to treat any of them badly, let alone himself, so making money has become the top priority at present.
Several horse owners over there saw that the vice president of the Jockey Club had been talking to Li Yuan, and they despised this horse owner who relied on connections to participate in the competition.
One of the foreigners with gray hair winked at the others, and walked towards the two of them with a wine glass.
"Mr. Wang, hello." The foreigner greeted **** Jie first, then deliberately looked at Li Yuan and said, "This is... Oh, I'm sorry, I don't have a good memory, I forgot your last name."
Although it could be seen that this guy did it on purpose, Li Yuan still said in a very graceful manner: "My surname is Li, and my name is Li Yuan."
"Oh, yes, look at my memory, hello, Mr. Li!" The guy pretended: "My name is Douglas, Michael Douglas."
"Mr. Douglas, hello." Li Yuan said indifferently: "I wonder which horse you are the owner of in tomorrow's race?"
"Black Lightning is my horse." Douglas said carelessly, "It's no wonder you don't know me well, because you didn't participate in the rematch! Black Lightning is the most likely to win the championship, you have to be careful!"
Li Yuan said without changing his face: "Then I really need to pay attention, the second place tomorrow should be Black Lightning."
Douglas' complexion changed: "Mr. Li, what do you mean?"
"Because..." Li Yuan said confidently, "The winner of the two games tomorrow will be my beloved horse chocolate!"
"Haha, Mr. Li is really good at joking!" Douglas looked up to the sky and said with a long smile: "A horse that has never won a record before with a wild card, actually wants to win two championships in a row? This is simply wishful thinking!"
Li Yuan didn't want to talk nonsense with this kind of person, he just smiled lightly and said, "Want to bet?"
"I'll bet you a million dollars!" Douglas waved his hand grandly and said, "Bet that Black Lightning can beat your chocolate! I'll bet you another million dollars that chocolate won't be able to win two championships in a row!"
"It's a bet!" Li Yuan shook hands with Douglas, and then said to **** Jie: "Let Mr. Wang be a witness, I don't think you have any objections?"
"No problem!" Douglas was also unambiguous, and immediately wrote a check for two million dollars to ***Jie.
Although there was no more money in the bank account, Li Yuan still wrote a check for two million dollars. Anyway, chocolate is a sure win, and there is no need to worry about being discovered by others.
After making a bet with Li Yuan, Douglas walked away arrogantly. He is also very confident in his black lightning, and feels that he will definitely not lose to this little-known Chinese.
After Douglas left, **** Jie smiled wryly at Li Yuan: "It seems that you really want to play a big game, and you won't let go of such an opportunity."
"You saw it." Li Yuan said with a smile, "I'm called hugging the grass and beating the rabbit, so there's no delay on both sides!"
The bet between Li Yuan and Douglas spread quickly. Everyone was very puzzled by this matter, thinking that Li Yuan was sending money to Douglas. After all, Douglas' Black Lightning is in his prime and has won several international competitions in a row, making him the biggest favorite in this competition.
On the other hand, Li Yuan is a nobody. His Chocolate hadn't even participated in a game before, and this time he also got a wild card to qualify for the competition. The strengths of the two sides are not at the same level at all, no matter who thinks Li Yuan will lose.
As a result, many people secretly laughed at Li Yuan, saying that he overestimated his capabilities and actually went to challenge Douglas, which was simply humiliation.
Many people are waiting to see Li Yuan's chocolate being left behind to cross the line in tomorrow's game. In their opinion, this bet on Li Yuan is a loser.
Just as everyone expected, the first short-distance race is about to begin. (To be continued.)
