The Hong Kong Jockey Club is very famous, and it has become a sport that Hong Kong people are particularly passionate about. People like Lin Hexia are actually members of the Jockey Club.
Macau also wanted to imitate Hong Kong and hold horse racing events and also engage in gaming. This echoes Macau's gaming industry and everyone thinks it is a good development idea.
It’s just that the Macau Jockey Club has taken the lead. It’s very difficult for Macau to develop the horse racing betting industry. Everyone can’t help but compare Macau’s horse racing with Hong Kong’s.
However, it is not easy to excel in this traditional competitive activity. Moreover, after a long period of development, the Hong Kong Jockey Club has become very mature. It is also not easy for Macau to innovate in this aspect.
Seeing this, when Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings invested in Macau, it directly rejected the idea of holding horse racing events, acquired the land back, and directly built a high-standard racing venue.
Facts have proved that this decision of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings is much smarter than before. Macau horse racing, which was originally half-dead, immediately became a high-quality asset after such a transformation.
In fact, Macau has already had racing events and similar tracks before, and has also hosted some international racing competitions, but it has not become Macau's international business card.
After Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings accepted the assets of the Macau Jockey Club, it acquired the racing venues in Macau, merged them, and created the new Macau Jockey Club on this basis.
Nowadays, the Macau Racing Club no longer only holds international events, but also arranges daily racing competitions. Competitions are arranged almost every week, which can provide tourists with more racing competition programs.
There are many ways for humans to pursue excitement, but in everyone's list of exciting sports, speed-related exciting sports definitely have a place.
So when the new racing track here was built, it has become a particularly popular venue for watching racing events in the world. Almost every visitor to Macau will add this event to their travel list.
Moreover, for every racing event, the related gambling industry sales are also very hot. Many tourists will buy a bet afterwards. Whether they win or not, it is a novel experience.
The reason why Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company changed horse racing into racing was not decided by patting oneself on the head, but by in-depth thinking, and there is a high probability that the operation will be successful.
Because behind them is the world's largest automobile company, Shenlong Automobile Company. They can not only provide various high-end models of comfortable passenger cars, but also have made considerable achievements in the field of racing.
Shenlong Automobile Company also has its own top racing team that participates in top international events. Since the establishment of Shenlong Automobile Company's racing team, it has basically been able to win championships in international events.
Although this kind of racing team basically loses money, it also brings good results to Shenlong Motors' sports cars. Now their sports car sales have jumped to the number one in the world.
If there were no Shenlong Automobile Company behind it, it would be very difficult for Macau to successfully build racing events into a new business card of Macau. It can even be said that it would be impossible to succeed.
Because the racing cars used in top events are all customized and not the supercars purchased on the market, without the participation of top car companies, naturally it is impossible to build top racing cars.
Without top-notch racing cars, it is understandably difficult to turn a racing event into a top-level competition. It will not be possible to perform speed and excitement, and naturally it will not be able to attract enough audiences to watch.
In fact, in the first year of the Macau Racing Club, it did not receive support from other car companies. When others were invited to participate in the competition, they were not ignored at all. This was the reality at the time.
In the past, when racing events were held, other event organizers were invited to Macau to compete. Macau only provided venues, which is fundamentally different from the current Macau Racing Club.
The Macau Racing Association wants to be the organizer of racing competitions, organize daily racing competitions, and create its own top racing events every year. This behavior actually touches other people's cheese.
Therefore, it has been overtly and covertly hindered by the organizers of other top international racing events. At the same time, because it is not well-known, it is normal for global racing manufacturers to ignore it.
In order to support the industry of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings, Shenlong Automobile Company has tailor-made a number of top racing cars for the Macau Racing Club to be used in the daily racing activities of the Racing Club.
With a large number of top-level racing cars, Macau racing will not face the embarrassment of having no cars available, and daily competitions can be considered to be carried out smoothly.
Because Shenlong Automobile Company is so famous, although the sports cars they sell on the market are not specifically used for competitions, they are among the best in the world in terms of appearance and performance, and have won a lot of support from consumers around the world.
It's just that the price of super sports cars is too expensive, especially those of Shenlong Motors. It is impossible for ordinary people to own one in their lifetime, which is a pity for many people.
The Macau Racing Club has given many car fans a way to not only see their favorite cars, but also to personally watch their favorite models racing on the track.
In order to increase the fun of the event, the racing events organized by the Macau Racing Club are not static. Different types of racing cars will be arranged to compete on different dates.
There are formula cars supported by top speed, but this kind of car pursues speed. The car itself is actually not much to see, and not everyone likes to watch it.
There are also various supercar competitions that can be called luxury cars, because at that time, only one automobile company, Shenlong Motors Company, provided racing cars for the Macau Racing Association, and the same model of cars from Shenlong Motors Company was used in each competition.
However, as the Macau Racing Club becomes more and more influential, some automobile companies are willing to provide the Macau Racing Club with their own customized racing cars for daily competitions.
Compared with the horse racing competitions provided by the Hong Kong Jockey Club, the racing cars provided by the Macau Racing Club obviously have more gimmicks, and the competition methods are also much more flexible.
What's more important is that most modern people don't actually have any special feelings about horse racing, but everyone is more interested in racing, and the audience group is larger.
This is very beneficial to Macau, which is determined to become an international tourist city. It has an additional tourism project that is very attractive to tourists. In fact, Macau's racing competition project has become an international tourism card of Macau.
The momentum is much greater than that of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. After all, the Hong Kong Jockey Club is only relatively famous locally. It is not much desirable to outsiders, and it is not the purpose of their travel to Hong Kong.
But the racing events in Macau are different. Not only can they stimulate the secretion of prostate hormones in tourists, but they can also see various top sports cars competing against each other. It is simply a life enjoyment.
Not only that, the Macau Racing Club will also organize top-level international racing competitions. Although this event is still slightly inferior to previous international racing competitions, international attention is rising rapidly.
In addition, the Macau Racing Club also actively cooperates with the media to edit the videos of racing competitions and then hand them over to ATV for broadcast. This not only provides ATV with racing competition-related content, but also promotes the Macau Racing Club in disguise.
Unlike the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which attracts a large number of celebrities to become members, the Macau Racing Club is much simpler and is an asset of the Macau Housing Corporation.
Because unlike horse racing, which requires each member to provide good horses, racing cars are industrial products. Although they are different from ordinary passenger cars and can be mass-produced, they are also much simpler than the training of race horses.
Therefore, although the Macau Racing Club is called the Racing Club, it is actually very different from the Hong Kong Jockey Club. It does not attract many celebrities as members.
The reason why it is still called the Jockey Club is mainly to correspond with the Hong Kong Jockey Club, so that it is easier for people in Hong Kong and Macao to remember.
Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia came here to inspect. They came here from the perspective of ordinary spectators. They bought tickets to enter the venue, and then randomly found a seat to stand and watch.
Compared with horse racing, where you can sit in a stadium-like venue to watch the race, the racing venue is much larger and more complicated, and you can only find a place to stand and watch.
If you want to watch the whole process, you can only see the racing conditions on other sections of the road through the large LED screens installed everywhere. What the audience sees with their own eyes is only the racing conditions on a short distance.
This is for a large track. In addition, there is actually a small track. The track is relatively simple. You only need to run a few laps around a circular track. The first one to finish the race wins.
In such a small venue, there are enough seats for the audience to sit. This kind of venue is also a place where competitions are held more frequently. After all, it is relatively simple.
The motorcade was attacked just yesterday. Originally, the Macau Housing Company thought that Lin Hexia would change the inspection schedule. Even if it was not canceled, the date would be changed.
As a result, Lin Hexia seemed not to be affected at all and continued to carry out the daily arrangements. However, the staff of the Macau Housing Company still became cautious when accompanying them.
Anyone who encounters an attack will be in a bad mood. Although Lin and Xia don't look like this, who knows whether they will be angry because of some trivial matter.
Seeing how cautious they were, Lin Hexia simply told them not to follow them. He took Zhao Yi and the security personnel to another section of the road where there were fewer people watching.
In this way, no one would disturb their world. As for yesterday's attack, Lin and Xia were basically unaffected after a brief panic.
This is because Zhao Yi gave her a great sense of security. When she was attacked, Zhao Yi acted so calmly. Thinking about it now, Lin and Xia both felt like an idol meeting a hero.
Anyway, now Lin Hexia feels that the main thing is that Zhao Yi is by her side. No matter what danger she encounters, she won't be so worried because Zhao Yi will protect her.
While Zhao Yi and Lin Hexia were watching the racing competition, an unpleasant thing was happening in the office of a big boss at the headquarters of the Yamaguchi-gumi group in Japan.
"Haven't been contacted yet?" An elderly man, about 60 years old, asked a young man.
"Since 9 o'clock last night, I have not received any feedback information. At that time, I thought it was inconvenient to communicate, so I did not take any relevant actions. After all, such situations are common.
But when the time came after 2 o'clock in the evening, there was still no news from there, so we realized something was wrong and sent messages to the other party, but the result was nothing.
Then we looked at the violence that happened that day, hoping to find some information, and we did find it, but things were a little tricky. "The other party replied.
"Oh, tell me." The old man said.
"When Mr. Watanabe acted this time, he just said it was a small matter, and we didn't care, so we allowed their operation. After all, there are many small tasks every day.
Judging from reports from Macau that night, around 7 o'clock yesterday evening, Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings President Lam Hexia was attacked by a group of people on her way back to her residence after an inspection.
Because their fleet used Shenlong Automobile Company’s President model bulletproof vehicles, the attack did not cause any casualties. In order to prevent the thugs from causing harm to passengers and citizens.
Neither the security personnel of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings nor the police pursued them in an aggressive manner, allowing the thugs to evacuate calmly.
However, the Macau police subsequently blocked all exit channels throughout Macau and then launched a large-scale investigation. However, there has been no news that any thugs have been arrested. "The other party said.
Upon hearing this, without waiting for him to continue speaking, the old man threw the teacup in his hand on the ground and cursed angrily: "Bagya Road."
This operation was actually approved by him. After all, it required the use of grenades and other weapons, which were generally difficult for the people below to obtain, and arrangements also needed to be made for the response. After all, it was an overseas mission.
It's just that the other party didn't need many people and didn't ask carefully. The other party also told him that it was a minor incident, so he didn't take it to heart.
If the other party was not his nephew, he probably wouldn't even think of it now. Even a task that he thought was a trivial matter actually involved Lin Hexia, the president of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company.
Although he has not dealt with Lin Hexia, the name of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings is still very famous in East and Southeast Asia, and he is relatively familiar with it.
If he had known in advance that Lin Hexia was involved, he probably would not have agreed. After all, ordinary people would not easily offend wealthy people unless necessary, let alone an organization as big as theirs, it would be impossible to hide it.
Even if they are gangsters, they have tens of thousands of brothers, and the number and scale of gang-related industries is not small, but there is no need to offend each other for no reason.
Although on the surface, the attack on Lin Hexia is not necessarily related to his nephew, there has only been one violent incident in Macau, and it is difficult not to connect them.
Of course, now that it has happened, as the top three bosses of the Yamaguchi group, he will not be afraid of it. This is the confidence and courage of a mafia boss.
Moreover, the strength of Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings is in Hong Kong and Macao, and at most it is involved in Taiwan. Its influence in Japan is very limited.
The Yamaguchi-gumi has been operating in Japan for decades. Although they are gangsters, they are already deeply rooted in the local area. It is basically impossible to engage them in Japan.
As for whether the overseas business will be retaliated for this, he is not particularly worried, because in these places, everyone's influence is actually about the same, and the Yamaguchi-gumi side is stronger.
So although he was a little annoyed that his nephew didn't explain the matter clearly in advance, he actually didn't pay much attention to the consequences of this matter.
Rather than fearing conflicts with the Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company, he was more worried about the safety of his nephew. After all, his nephew was the only heir of his dead brother, and he had to protect his nephew's safety.
"Is there no news yet? Is there any analysis on why?" the old man asked.
"We haven't received any reply yet. We have also conducted some analysis and feel that there are two possibilities. The first is that they did not retreat in time and directly chose to find a secret place to hide.
But this possibility is very low, because even if they are hiding, they can still contact us through some channels, so they won't have no news at all.
And we didn't get any news from the responding personnel, which means that the responding personnel also had an accident, so we think this possibility is basically non-existent.
The second possibility is that they successfully escaped from Macau, got in touch with the people who contacted them, and almost completely escaped, only to be taken advantage of by the other party. Although this possibility is a bit incredible, it seems now that the probability is the highest. "
After hearing this analysis, the old man was so angry that he swept everything on the table to the ground with one hand and slapped the table hard. He said nothing, but he could not hide the anger in his eyes no matter how hard he tried.
The person who reported the report did not dare to say anything when he saw the old man being so angry. He stood there quietly, not daring to move a step even if the things on the table hit his feet.
After about 5 minutes, the old man finally put away his anger, sat down in his seat, and said, "This matter will never let go!"
Hearing what the old man said, the young man had a different opinion. Although he knew that he might not be popular if he said it, as a member of the Yamaguchi-gumi, he had to explain the pros and cons clearly.
"This matter needs long-term consideration. Although Lin Hexia is a female prostitute, the Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company under her leadership has too much influence and power in Hong Kong and Macao. It is basically impossible to touch her in these two places.
Moreover, the security company under Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings has 3,000 security personnel. It is a considerable armed force and should not be underestimated. "
After hearing the young man's analysis, the old man was not angry, but he did not agree with it. Although these words were true, it did not constitute an obstacle to his revenge.
"Although what Kameda-kun said is good, you must know that we are in the dark and they are in the open. As long as we plan well, we still have a high chance of success." The old man said proudly.
Compared with Bai Dao, who also talks about some rules, the underworld can sometimes do whatever it takes to achieve its goals. This is also the fundamental reason why the underworld has a deterrent effect.
He also knew that it was impossible to retaliate with great fanfare. Although the Yamaguchi group had tens of thousands of people, they did not necessarily have an advantage in other people's territory.
"I have done some research on Lin Hexia. Although this person is young, he is not as lively and active as young people. Unless necessary, he basically stays in his villa and does not come out.
Even if he goes out for business, he usually rides in his own President bulletproof car. It is basically impossible to rely on ordinary weapons to hijack someone. " said the young man.
The old man nodded, expressing his approval of what he said, but it obviously did not dispel his idea. How could he bear this tone after having been in a high position for so many years? In addition, after so many years of hard work and hard work, he has never been able to climb to this position. No shortage of courage.
"In this way, you arrange for some people to lurk in Hong Kong and look for opportunities. If you are not absolutely sure, never take action. What we want is to hit with one hit.
Otherwise, we will face very big troubles. By the way, what is the reaction from the Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings Company? "The old man seemed to remember something and asked.
"According to the information we have inquired about, Lin Hexia inspected the racing club owned by the Macau Housing Company this morning and watched the racing in person. It seems that she was not affected by the attack.
Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings has not taken any action or said anything, and it seems that it does not want to make this matter a big deal. The only ones taking action now are the Macau government and police, who are still tracking down the attackers. " said the young man.
"Tell me, have they found out that our people did it?" the old man asked.
This is very important. If they know that it was them, then they will have to deal with it carefully. The risk of arranging someone to hijack it again will be very high. After all, Hong Kong Umbrella Holdings is not a vegetarian.
"Judging from the current performance, it seems that there is no conclusive evidence, at least no information has been obtained from the action team, otherwise it would not be so quiet.
And it is not yet certain whether the members of the action team have been caught, otherwise the Macau government and police would not need to continue investigating. " said the young man.
"Then why did you say before that the probability of their survival was very low? Isn't this inconsistent?" the old man asked.
"The previous conclusion is based on the communication interruption, and the latter conclusion is based on the actions in Macau. Although the two are inconsistent, the sea itself is very dangerous and anything can happen." said the young man. (End of chapter)
