Chapter 413 Horse Racing
The Happy Valley Racecourse in 1975 had a large main building with strong pirate architectural features and a solemn and elegant appearance.
There are eye-catching signs and decorations at the entrance to attract the audience's attention.
There are some simple rest areas and stalls outside the racecourse.
The rest area is for spectators to rest between races, and the stalls may sell some horse racing-related souvenirs, snacks and drinks.
In addition, there are some fences and security facilities around the racecourse to ensure the safety of the competition.
Wang Yuanchao entered the racecourse and went to his own stand according to his number. The seats on the stands were rather simple, mostly made of simple metal or plastic.
The auditorium is clearly divided into VIP area and general audience area. Some seats with better views have many boxes.
Horse racing is very popular in Hong Kong. Wang Yuanchao sat in his seat and looked at the stands filled with spectators from different walks of life. Everyone was very excited and the atmosphere was very warm. Almost every spectator had a ticket. It was estimated that everyone had bet a lot of money and was looking forward to the horse they were interested in.
Inside the box at the racecourse, Wang Yuanchao saw from outside that there were many bosses in suits and leather shoes, drinking red wine, smoking cigars, and chatting with each other.
It is obvious that most of his attention is focused on the people around him, and he is not as concerned about the results of the horse race as the people in the stands.
"This horse looks so strong, with beautiful muscle lines. It will definitely perform well today!"
Because the condition of a horse is an important factor affecting the outcome of a race, people will make a preliminary judgment on a horse's racing potential based on its appearance.
"Slaughterer, this horse has a really beautiful coat. It looks very smart. Maybe it can come in first!"
A middle-aged man sitting next to Wang Yuanchao was very much looking forward to the white horse No. 83.
"Stacker, look at the look in this horse's eyes, it's full of fighting spirit, this one must be even more powerful."
The two exchanged views on topics such as the horse's eyes and mental state.
As the race began, Wang Yuanchao realized that it was a big mistake to come and watch the horses by himself. He felt like his ears were going to explode. "Come on, horse number 13, get ahead!"
"Horse No. 25, hold on, don't get overtaken!"
"Horse No. 15, try harder and overtake the one in front!"
At this time, the audience around Wang Yuanchao were roaring like crazy, with ferocious expressions and a scary situation.
"Oh, what happened to horse number 18? What a pity!"
As the horses entered the final sprint, the people watching the horses went completely crazy, and they all shouted excitedly:
"Go! Horse No. 25, hurry! Hurry!"
The emotions of everyone around Wang Yuanchao reached a climax, and they cheered for the horses they bought at the top of their lungs.
"We're going to win! We're going to win! Come on!"
Some of the horses that I bought were in the leading position, and when they were about to cross the finish line, I shouted loudly with nervousness and excitement.
Suddenly, Wang Yuanchao exclaimed loudly:
"Wow! What happened to horse No. 18? How did this horse catch up? It's a fake race, a fake race, damn fake race, pay me money, pay me money, pay me money."
Wang Yuanchao looked at the crazy scene around him. The winners were howling loudly, and the losers were going crazy. It was really a picture of the various aspects of human life, with all their ugly sides exposed.
After watching a horse race, Wang Yuanchao gained some new insights. He shook his head, sighed, and walked slowly towards the racecourse.
This person, everyone wants to get rich overnight, everyone wants to get something for nothing,
But is capital a fool? If capital is a fool, it is impossible to become capital. How many people cannot see this simple truth?
Hong Kong is a place where evil spirits are rampant despite its small size. Although the population here is small, only about 4 million people,
However, the five evils, especially money, sex, alcohol, anger, pornography, gambling and drugs, prevailed for a time, and the social atmosphere of "drinking today and enjoying today" was popular for a time. That is, the feudal ideology in China was also very popular here, maintaining the values of the Chinese society in Hong Kong.
Otherwise, this place would have become a place full of monsters and demons long ago.
To be honest, among all the countries in the world, when it comes to governing the people, no country can compare to China's 5,000 years of ruling experience.
The double standards, jungle law, and freedom and democracy of Western capitalist countries have become a joke in the past.
After watching a horse race, Wang Yuanchao drove to Central, picked up Alice who had just got off work, and drove towards Repulse Bay.
After returning home, Wang Yuanchao and Alice changed into their swimsuits.
After swimming in the outdoor pool for a while, I went to sit on the beach chair under the sun umbrella next to the swimming pool.
We chatted while drinking freshly squeezed orange juice.
"Mr. Wang, the day after tomorrow is the weekend, how about we hold a party and have a party at home?"
Wang Yuanchao took a sip of orange juice, shook his head, and said lazily:
“No interest, I don’t like other men coming to my house.
And I don’t have many friends in Hong Kong.”
"Oh, Mr. Wang, we can just invite beautiful women to the party and not invite men.
There are two young ladies in our store who, after hearing me talk about your luxurious house, really want to come and see it. If we hold a party, we can invite them to come and see it properly, so that they know I didn’t lie.”
Wang Yuanchao's eyes moved, and after thinking about it, he decided to forget it.
After all, I am a member of the organization now, and I can live a better life. It can also be said that it is to integrate into the environment and not be suspected.
But if you live too promiscuously, you won't be able to explain yourself.
Wang Yuanchao is living a good life now, and he is very satisfied. There is really no need to do something controversial like climbing the ladder, lest he can't explain himself later. So Wang Yuanchao said with little interest:
"Alice, if you're just dealing with your colleagues,
There's no need for us to do any kind of partying. You can just invite your colleagues to my house on the weekend.
I will ask someone to buy some ingredients, fruits, and barbecue racks on the weekend. You can invite your colleagues over and we can have a barbecue on the top of the mountain."
Alice looked at Wang Yuanchao in surprise and said, "Mr. Wang, is this really possible?"
Wang Yuanchao was quite generous to the women he had relationships with. After drinking a sip of orange juice and lighting a cigar, he said:
"Really, you can call them over to play."
"Mr. Wang, since this is a barbecue event, can I invite a few more people over?"
Wang Yuanchao took a puff of Cuban cigar, enjoying the unique slightly sweet taste of Cuban cigars, and asked: "Are you planning to invite other friends?"
"Yes, Wang Yuanchao, I have two friends who work as assistants at the Deep Water Bay Golf Course. Can I invite them over to play?"
"Can."
