Although Huang Xuan has never been a good student, he is naturally sensitive to wealth. So when he was exiled from P11 by Lorraine for the first time, he would first think of buying the previous edition of "The Mountains and Rivers Are Red". Therefore, in the family's small stove, his results have always been good.
This is why Huang Jindi values him. The eldest son is just a status. Neither physics nor mathematics scores can guarantee the status of the family. Only sensitivity to business or politics are the qualities that a family heir should have.
Therefore, as long as Lorraine tells some information, Huang Xuan can think of the Cleveland Consortium.
This is a consortium that made its fortune from coal and iron resources. The late 1950s was their heyday. In the 1960s, they were once the sixth largest consortium in the United States. But today, their main industries are concentrated in the steel and rubber industries. Due to geographical restrictions, their development has been limited. slow.
Like the California Consortium, the financial capital of the Cleveland Consortium was very weak. Both consortiums relied on the financial institutions of the Eastern Consortium, especially the financial system of the Morgan Consortium, to raise funds. In other words, this is why the two large consortiums were Later they gradually declined.
Huang Xuan tapped the energy screen with his hand and asked Lorraine: "Check Morgan Stanley's account and see how much money they lent to the Cleveland Consortium."
While talking, Bob and others left aggressively. It was due to momentum, but in fact, it was better to say they were afraid of it. 10 million U.S. dollars was not a small amount of money at Morgan Stanley, not to mention that they were just juniors in the Cleveland family, as Huang Xuan said That way, to get the money together, they would need the pocket money of several people.
Galadia said a little worriedly: "Why bet so big with them?"
Huang Xuan turned his head and said, "You don't believe I can beat them?"
Galadia wrinkled her nose and said with a slight smile: "I believe you, how about I also place half of the bet?"
"No need." Huang Xuan scratched Chitu and said, "You have to give me credit later."
Galadia adjusted her waistcoat and stopped talking. She just smiled and watched Huang Xuan teasing Chitu.
Red Rabbit snorted intelligently, Huang Xuan smiled and scratched his back, and said to Dian Wei: "You will ride Red Rabbit later, and we will compete with them."
"Okay." Dian Wei nodded solemnly and said, "Where are the weapons?"
Huang Xuan sweated a little and said: "It's just faster than a horse, you can't hit anyone. Let's see who can run the fastest."
“Is it just a cowherd boy’s fun?”
Huang Xuan glanced at Galadia secretly, and was very glad that she couldn't understand English. He whispered to himself: "That's right. As soon as the fence in front of the horse is opened, you run away. If I tell you to stop, you will run again." stop."
He felt that it would be easier to understand if it was simpler.
Dian Wei nodded understandingly, patted Huang Xuan on the shoulder and said, "I won all the games when I was a kid, and no one from other villages dared to come."
"So powerful?" Huang Xuan looked impressed.
"Well, I will beat whoever beats me." Dian Wei casually moved his thighs, which were about the size of an ordinary person's waist.
…
After a little preparation, Huang Xuan and others led Red Rabbit out of the stable. Among a group of short purebred horses, Red Rabbit can be said to be a horse in a group, especially because it is red all over and has strong muscles. It is very attractive. eyeball.
Many ladies who didn't know much about horse racing looked here. Galadia walked on the right side of Huang Xuan, holding a milky white bag in one hand and said with a smile: "Horse racing is most interesting when you watch it live. If it's If you watch the broadcast, it will be tasteless.”
"Why?" Huang Xuan actually doesn't know much about horse racing. Even though the Huang family is very rich, folk horse racing in China only has a history of more than 10 years, and few people in the family are keen on it, except for those who learned it for a while when they were children. , there is very little contact.
"People say that horse racing requires brewing for a long time and then venting in a few minutes." When Galadia said this, her face was a little blushing, and with the lip line, Huang Xuan had the urge to take a bite.
Aiken and others were talking quietly hundreds of meters away, but their eyes were all looking at Galadia. When they saw her chatting happily with Huang Xuan, their faces became increasingly gloomy.
Galadia seemed to be used to people's attention, and said to Huang Xuanyuan: "In the past two years, there are still many people watching horse racing live, but there are far fewer TV broadcasts, unless it is used for gambling or the record is about to be broken. "When talking about this, she said in a rather regretful tone: "When I went to England to attend the Royal Ascot Horse Racing Festival, every third day, the ladies would bring beautiful clothes. I also had a hat at that time. The scene was very lively, everyone stood together and guessed which horse would win." She looked hopeful as she spoke.
Huang Xuan can imagine what it was like: a group of people gathered around to watch a large group of horses, and then talked and talked about the emotions. Finally, the horses took one minute to run across the line, and the horse racing was over.
If television broadcasting wanted to make money, no one would broadcast horse racing.
Seeing that Dian Wei had led the horse to the starting line, Huang Xuan patted Galadia's hand soothingly and said, "It's good now. Everyone is looking forward to the next competition."
"That's because there is gambling money." Galadia said coquettishly, deliberately not looking at Huang Xuan.
Clemenos and Ellison came over with cocktails. The former smiled and said from a distance: "Hi, Huang Xuan, I heard that you placed a bet on your elephant."
"Oh, uncle." Galadia said with a wavering look, "Don't say that."
"It's just stating a fact." Clemenos smiled and frowned, with deep streaks on it.
Ellison looked at Huang Xuan with horrible eyes and said, "Are you really going to use that big guy for a flat race? Speaking of which, it is a good hunting horse, but it will not be a good racing horse. "
"Why?"
"It is too heavy, and gravity will hold it firmly until other horses overtake it." Ellison made a vivid metaphor, and then said: "Despite this, I still pressed it 10 Ten thousand dollars, oh, do you know the expression on my face when I signed it?”
As a horse racing event that connects friendships, the host here will certainly not be like some racecourses, holding a microphone and yelling: "A certain two gentlemen are going to bet on horse racing."
More often than not, they tell everyone in the room individually that, while the outcome is the same, the effects are very different—which helps to increase the friendship rather than the other way around.
Huang Xuan knew that Ellison's $100,000 was his friendship for him, but compared to betting on Bob's "Ohio Scream", it was already very good.
"What is the maximum bet that can be placed here?" Huang Xuan took two Cocktails from the waiter and handed one to Galadia. This is a cocktail with a lot of fruit sweat, soda, mineral water and liqueur. Very suitable for cultivating atmosphere.
Galadia said "thanks" and then said: "About 1 million US dollars."
The so-called maximum bet is of course not a restriction by the organizer, but a conventional rule. After all, this is not a casino, and most of the bets are for fun. And if it exceeds 1 million US dollars, even for a billionaire like Ellison, it is not enough. No more playing.
"Waiter." Huang Xuan called in English and said, "I want to pay 1 million US dollars for the red horse."
"Pink rabbit? OK, $1 million."
"Pink rabbit?" Huang Xuan was very surprised.
"Yes." The waiter said naturally: "It should be the name given by his master, one of those tall mixed-blood horses."
Huang Xuan looked at Galadia, who shrugged cutely, with the small bag dangling in her hand, and her expression was very innocent.
It wasn't until the last bet started that Bob came over with a relaxed look on his face, took a piece of paper from the person next to him, handed it to Huang Xuan and said: "A certificate confirming the bet."
"Oh, it looks very formal." Huang Xuan signed it, and the staff of Carlton Racecourse took it over and said: "Mr. Huang, please transfer your advance payment to this account."
Huang Xuan pouted. He was skipping school this time. He didn't have an assistant to take him with him, so he had to take out his mobile phone, dial a number at random, and said: "Lorraine, transfer money to this account." He turned around and read it again.
The racecourse quickly confirmed the remittance. Bob looked at Huang Xuan very disappointed and said, "The screaming jockey in Ohio is Burgess. He has won two championship titles. Who is your jockey?"
"That's him." Huang Xuan nodded with his chin at Dian Wei, who was adjusting the saddle next to Red Rabbit. He had just learned how to use it.
Ellison almost spit out his drink. He swallowed it forcefully and said in surprise: "If you had told me earlier, I wouldn't have bet you."
All jockeys are required to weigh less, which is related to the smaller weight of thoroughbred horses themselves. Putting Dian Wei and other jockeys together can easily make people think of giants and dwarfs, or in other words, let Dian Wei Instead of riding a thoroughbred horse, it would be faster to let him carry a thoroughbred horse on his back. Only heavy horses like Red Rabbit could carry him away.
Bob made a very American face and said to Galadia: "Are you raising funds for our global trip? Oh, 10 million US dollars."
Galadia said nothing and looked in the direction of the track with a normal expression. It seemed that she had expected such a situation. She chuckled lightly and said to the waiter: "I'll pay 1 million US dollars, too."
"Oh, no." Bob spread his hands and said, "It's right for a man to invite a woman. You don't need to contribute to our future account."
"Let's wait until you win." Huang Xuan pushed Bob's hand away and said, "Go back to Ohio. You can continue to make hay for my horses." Ohio is famous for its hay production.
"Oh, there will be a chance." Bob felt Huang Xuan's strength, and instead of trying to overestimate his capabilities, Bob waved his hand and walked back. (To be continued.
