Chapter 598 [Underground Horse King]
Don't mess with women, especially little girls. Li Shuangkai, who is used to the storm, couldn't help but feel embarrassed. He felt like a bad guy who stole the little girl's favorite toys, a wolf grandmother, and a villain in all fairy tales.
"Yezi, it's too rude to not speak to my cousin like this." Liu Xu scolded.
"Heifeng is Ye Zi's friend. My cousin wants to sell Heifeng, but he is a bad guy." Ye Zi pouted, seeing that this means that he is ready to cry at any time.
"Okay, Ye Zi doesn't cry, my uncle won't sell Black Wind."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "But it is wrong for a child to say this to his elders. Why don't he apologize to his cousin?"
"It's okay, Little Yezi has a cute personality, I won't blame him."
Seeing Xiao Yezi's resentful gaze, Li Shuangkai felt a little trembling. This elf is the flesh of the aunt's heart, and his father likes it too much. Moreover, Yu Xue is smart. It is said that she won all Master Wu Qingyuan's granddaughter. It would be a good thing if she hates her in such a smart and special status. She must use soft methods.
"Haha, Brother Shuangkai is a big deal, so he naturally won't bother with the children."
Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Brother Shuangkai is right. British thoroughbreds are indeed more suitable for competitions, but Black Wind is not an ordinary Arab thoroughbred. I believe that as long as it is trained a little, it can run well."
"Is that?" Li Shuangkai curled his lips, looked at Xiao Yezi who was staring at him, swallowed the words he had put into his mouth, and thought to himself: "Brother Yi is a big stick. A thoroughbred horse that has been selected has to go to the arena. After at least one year of training, he will be able to get a good result after at least one year of formal competition experience. If it is really easy, the Xiangjiang "underground horse king" would not be so powerful, so that He Dongying and I can't defeat it."
However, Zhou Yi is a guest at home and the old man values him. Since Li Shuangkai saw through him, he would not expose it easily. He just followed his words: "It seems that you are very confident in Heifeng. Maybe it will achieve good results as you said, right? Let's do this, I first castrate Heifeng, and then send it to my horse house. You don't have to worry about the matters of the Jockey Club. I will complete all the procedures for you, according to the regulations of the Jockey Club. Even if a horse owner is a member of the Jockey Club, the premise is that his horse must pass the inspection of the senior horse trainer of the horse house and have development potential."
Li Shuangkai is obviously very confident. With his background and strength, Heifeng still has certain strength. Even if he is a lame old horse, as long as Zhou Yi likes it, he can let Heifeng pass the inspection of the horse house and obtain membership of the Xiangjiang Jockey Club for Zhou Yi.
This membership is a symbol of identity in Xiangjiang. Those rich people in the circle of Xiangjiang’s wealthy people will get the title of Jockey Club membership. Even Li Jucheng, who has always disliked gambling horses, has two horses in the horse house.
"Then thank you Brother Yi."
Zhou Yi nodded with a smile. When it comes to training Heifeng, he is actually an expert among experts. The problem is that Xiangjiang Horse will have its own rules. To play, you must come from a horse club owned or certified horse house. You must have professional training with the "horse training teacher qualification". Otherwise, even if it is Chitu Linfan under Master Guan's name, he cannot play.
The wedding that started in France made Zhou Yi go crazy. This time he brought Black Wind to make some money to solve the economic crisis; secondly, he wanted Black Wind to make a few champions and make a good start, and Liuxiao and Xiaoyezi were looking forward to it; thirdly, he wanted to have fun and relax. Zhou Yi was not a fool monk who was a dead wood Zen, and knew how to adjust himself.
"But Black Wind cannot be castrated. You were right just now. I'm going to keep him as a stallion."
"Ah? Not castrated! This is not OK, Brother Yi."
Li Shuangkai was stunned. Today he made a special trip to accompany Zhou Yi to pick up Heifeng. On the one hand, he cursed the Li family's "distinguished guest", and on the other hand, he wanted to see what kind of surprise the strange man mentioned by his father could bring to him. The result was just an ordinary Arab thoroughbred horse, a wild path that he had never even entered the horse house.
Deville had already sent Zhou Yi back to France because the horse breeder on this ranch is not the same as the horse trainer in Xiangjiang Horse House. All the little white horses who came out of the ranch and had never entered the horse house are subject to strict inspections, and the proportion of normal elimination is as high as 60%.
This is Zhou Yi, who skipped the horse house inspection procedure and was about to send the black wind directly into his horse house. However, Zhou Yi actually disagreed with castrating the black wind, which is absolutely absolutely necessary.
Although the Jockey Club has not officially issued such regulations that will definitely be protested by animal protectors, the long-term unspoken rule is to "clean up first when entering the house, and ten eunuchs will go to the arena." This is because uncastrated horses are wild and difficult to tame. They are not only easy to hurt, but also sexually assault the same kind, but also easy to go crazy on the field, which is too dangerous.
"Then I have to ask Brother Kai, you think of a solution. I believe that the Xiangjiang Horse will not issue regulations on castration horses, right?"
No matter how Li Shuangkai said it, Zhou Yi disagreed with castration of Heifeng, but instead asked him to find a solution. Xiangjiang is known as a democratic and legal zone, and has never lacked green guards. Zhou Yi believes that the Jockey Club will never be able to draw up such a rule that will be criticized. As long as there are no regulations, what other problems will be with Li Shuangkai's means?
"Brother Yi, you are really stubborn, so let's put Heifeng in my horse house first. However, although I am the actual investor of this horse house, I cannot guarantee that Heifeng will be able to pass the inspection of the horse house."
"This is strange. Since it is Brother Kai's horse house, what other difficulties will be there?" Zhou Yi smiled and said, "Brother Kai, you can rest assured. I promise that Heifeng will not hurt other horses. Heifeng is very spiritual."
"Brother Yi, you misunderstood. Don't say that Black Wind won't hurt other horses, you've really hurt a few horses. What's that in the eyes of you and my brothers?"
Li Shuangkai shook his head and smiled, "Brother Yi, you don't know. Although I am the actual investor of the horse house, I only have some privileges. The horse house still has to accept the unified management of the Xiangjiang Jockey Club. For example, the two senior trainers in charge of the daily affairs of the horse house must be appointed by the Xiangjiang Jockey Club, and the deputy one is my personal hire. They must not only be responsible to me, the investor, but also to the Xiangjiang Jockey Club. If Heifeng has not been castrated and hurts other horse owners' horses during daily training, they will be punished by the Xiangjiang Jockey Club and may even be cancelled from the horse-raising teacher qualifications. Therefore, they will definitely strictly follow the inspection procedures for Heifeng. What I can do is just to require them to be unbiased during the inspection process."
There are thirty-four horses in the horse house invested by Li Shuangkai, of which eleven belong to him, and the other twenty-three belong to horse owners of different sizes. If Heifeng hurts his horse, it will be fine. If he hurts other horse owners, it will be a little trouble. Sometimes it can't be settled with money, and can play horse racing. Which one has no status? His second son, who is not valued in the Li family, may not have enough face.
"It's good that I can be without prejudice. I have confidence in Heifeng." Zhou Yi smiled slightly, not seemingly worried at all.
There are already hundreds of large and small horse houses registered by the Xiangjiang Jockey Club, but the most famous of them is the large horse house located near the Happy Valley and known as the "five-headed house". These five horse houses all have more than one hundred horses, and they are all "famous brands" that have won good rankings in the competition. The horse trainers are all above double digits, and there are more than a dozen champion jockeys.
The one who can be called a champion jockey in Hong Kong must be the one with the highest points in a season. After the horse racing event was officially commercialized, less than a hundred people have won this honor. Except for those who retired, there are only 40 or 50 people who are still active on the horse court. The "Five-Taofang" can have more than a dozen champion jockeys, which shows how strong it is. Fortunately, although the relationship between these five horses and houses is good, the horses have not found evidence of their conspiracy to control the competition, otherwise they would have been banned long ago.
Speaking of investment in entertainment industry (betting on horses should be counted), Li Shuangkai never descended from descendants, and he never convinced anyone. Therefore, after entering the horse world, "Five-Taofang" became his biggest enemy and He Dongying, the eldest son of the He family. Although there is no evidence from the Jockey Club, there have been legends in the market that "Five-Taofang" and some big horse houses near the Happy Valley, as well as the astonishing number of jockeys, trainers, and horse racing, are all controlled by the "underground horse king". However, this underground horse king never showed up and just secretly controlled everything. The Jockey Club's several investigations eventually returned in vain.
Behind Li Shuangkai and He Dongying are the background of the top ten richest men in Xiangjiang. No matter which field they enter, they must be kings in this field to be willing to be willing. How could they be suppressed by the legendary "underground horse king"? In the past two years, the two of them have joined forces and have fought with this mysterious underground horse king several times, but they don't want to lose badly every time.
The Xiangjiang horse racing looks very fair on the surface, and is the least easy way to be manipulated behind the scenes. In fact, people of the level of Li Shuangkai and He Yingdong understand very well. There are 78 games per season, and about one-third of the results are secretly controlled by the "underground horse king". He can make any horse run out and run out! However, his technique is extremely high and will not leave any evidence. Only the horse owner who also has a certain number of horses will vaguely feel that someone has the power of God on the racecourse, but it is just a feeling.
"Haha, there is nothing strange. Any gambling method in the world can cheat. Horse racing is just one of the most important ones. But once someone can control the game, it is the least likely to be exposed. This is not playing poker cards."
Listening to Li Shuangkai's story, Zhou Yi nodded with a smile, made some comments, and also became interested in this "underground horse king".
If this person really exists, it may be of good benefit to his own money-making actions. You don’t have to blame yourself for how much money you make now.
