Chapter 289 Hong Kong Island Jockey Club

Hong Kong Island has three top clubs, Hong Kong Island Real Estate Construction Chamber of Commerce, Hong Kong Island Yacht Club, and Hong Kong Island Jockey Club.

As we all know, Hong Kong people like horse racing and also like to bet on horses.

The horse culture in Hong Kong has always been very strong. The Hong Kong Jockey Club can be regarded as the largest force in Hong Kong, horse racing, and the gambling culture extended by horse racing is spread throughout every corner of Hong Kong.

Happy Valley is located in the Central and South location of Wan Chai District, the Hong Kong Island Jockey Club is here.

Since the Jockey Club changed from amateur horse racing to professional horse racing in 1971, there have been endless people coming here to bet on horses.

After all, it used to be an amateur horse racing, and the chance of cheating was still high. However, after the transformation into professional horse racing, the Hong Kong government sent personnel from full-time departments to the Jockey Club for jurisdiction. This kind of thing has become much less and more formal.

From 1973 to 1974, the Hong Kong government successively added many betting stations outside the Jockey Club and opened telephone betting services, which was considered to be a formal recognition of the behavior of private horse betting.

At this point, horse gambling has become one of the most passionate hobbies for Hong Kong people, and the two magazines, Horse News and Horse Shop, have also become one of the most popular magazines in Hong Kong today.

...

Saturday, Happy Valley Racecourse.

"Brother Jun, it's so lively here!"

Huo Wenjun led Ma Qingxia into the horse farm. At this time, there was already a crowd of people inside. The oval venue was filled with excited citizens. They waved their horse tickets in their hands, and their faces were red, and they cheered up the horse racing he had bet at the top of their lungs.

When Ma Qingxia, who came here for the first time, was immediately amazed when she saw this.

In his past and present life, Huo Wenjun also came to this famous Hong Kong Jockey Club for the first time. He was quite interesting to see the excited and excited people around him.

Horse racing in Hong Kong is not available all year round. Horse racing officially starts in September every year and ends in June of the following year. It is because it is the hottest time in Hong Kong!

In addition, the racecourse is an open-air venue, and both people and horses cannot withstand the heat.

However, it was early winter, and it was the time for horse racing to be the most prosperous.

"Brother Jun, let's buy a bet too!"

At this time, the game ended, the winner cheered and the loser was disappointed and cursed, and then he ran to the betting station again unwillingly to try to win back.

Ma Qingxia, infected by the atmosphere at the scene, was immediately excited and pulled Huo Wenjun's sleeve and shouted.

Huo Wenjun is not like an ordinary Hong Kong islander. He has no interest in betting horses, nor is he interested in any form of gambling.

However, the girl was in high spirits. Seeing her eager to try, Huo Wenjun was not disappointed, so she asked her to choose a horse she was optimistic about and then arranged for Abu to bet.

Ma Qingxia excitedly pulled Huo Wenjun to find an empty seat near the track to sit down, and soon Abu came back with a horse ticket.

Five minutes later, the game began.

With a command, ten horses quickly ran out of slaughter and rushed towards the finish line under the control of the jockey.

Ma Qingxia stared at her big eyes, stood up restlessly, and bulged her cheeks and tiptoed to cheer for the horse she chose.

Compared to the girl's excited appearance, Huo Wenjun's face was calm and he had no expectations in his heart.

Both of them were laymen, but they just picked a horse that they liked, just to experience the fun of horse racing, and they had no hope of winning.

However, things in the world are often unexpected. Huo Wenjun did not expect that the final winner was the horse they bought.

"Yeah, I won!" Ma Qingxia jumped up happily, hugged Huo Wenjun, with a happy face.

Huo Wenjun patted the girl's head and laughed in his heart. He didn't expect that the silly girl was lucky.

"Brother Jun, let's go and receive the bonus!"

Ma Qingxia couldn't wait to pull Huo Wenjun and prepare to claim the prize. She was not greedy. She knew that she could win this time was purely luck, and she didn't want to take advantage of the victory and continue to buy again.

Suddenly, a smile sounded behind the two of them.

"I didn't expect Huo Sheng was also a master of gambling horses!"

Huo Wenjun stopped, turned around, and saw a group of seven or eight people standing behind him. His eyes were instantly attracted by the two in the middle.

These are two middle-aged men who look over thirties. They are of medium size, ordinary appearance, not handsome, but they are calm and generous, which is unforgettable.

The others vaguely surrounded them in the middle, obviously being bodyguards.

The one who spoke was a slightly younger man on the right, glanced at Huo Wenjun, with a hint of exploration in his eyes.

"Just luck." Huo Wenjun shrugged, and his eyes were fleeting.

"Luck is also a kind of strength." The man smiled slightly, then stretched out his hand, "Haha, Huo Sheng, we finally met."

"For the first time we met, lucky to meet!" Huo Wenjun reached out to hold the man. The moment he saw him, he had already recognized his identity.

"Young Master Huo!"

The person in front of him was Huo Daheng's second son, Huo Zhenhuan.

In fact, the reason why he came to the horse farm today was because he received an invitation from Huo Zhenhuan.

Yu Gong and Huanyu Real Estate are the largest advertiser of Phoenix Daily; Yu Gong and Huo Family are the leader of the Huo clans in Hong Kong, and their status is very important.

Although Huo Zhenhuan made an invitation in his private name this time, Huo Wenjun was not willing to refuse it at will, both public and private.

And he was also very interested in meeting this "Second Young Master Huo".

The two shook hands, Huo Zhenhuan smiled with a smile on his lips, and his attitude was kind and had no intention of being arrogant at all, which made Huo Wenjun feel good.

"I have heard of Huo Sheng's name for a long time, and then I feel so terrifying. I am worthy of being a member of our Huo family, haha!" Huo Zhenhuan was very enthusiastic, not stingy with his praise, and took the initiative to act like a cross-legged attitude.

"Young Master Huo has been too rewarded, and I am ashamed of you." Huo Wenjun was humble and did not show restraint and flattery because of their identities.

Looking at the handsome young man in front of him, a flash of appreciation flashed in Huo Zhen's eyes, and the middle-aged man next to him couldn't help but look at Huo Wenjun more.

Huo Zhenhuan patted Huo Wenjun on the shoulder kindly and said with a smile: "Don't you mind if I'm asking you to shout Ah Jun?"

Seeing that Huo Wenjun did not object, he pointed to the man beside him and said, "I'll introduce it, this is my boss Huo Zhenting."

Huo Wenjun showed surprise. He thought Huo Zhenhuan invited him alone, but he didn't expect that even the eldest son of the Huo family was there.

This surprised Huo Wenjun and was a little surprised and confused. He thought he didn't have that much face and could alarm the two legitimate sons of the Huo family.

In fact, Huo Zhenhuan's initiative invitation surprised him very much.

Sure enough, Huo Zhenhuan explained again, Huo Zhenting just happened to meet him. Today he had made an appointment with Zheng Jiachun, the eldest son of Zheng Yutong, the "Jewelry King" today.

The two families have a close relationship with each other, and later generations often move around.
