Chapter 1207 Hong Kong Jockey Club Next

"Dad, what does this horse do? Do you specialize in horse racing?

After hearing the name of the Jockey Club in the mouth of the Fourth Empress Dowager the day before yesterday, Zhuang Rui kept hearing it. Even Qin Xuanbing had said it in his ear several times. Taking this opportunity, Zhuang Rui asked.

"Well, it's right to say that it specializes in horse racing, but this is a non-profit club organization with great influence in Hong Kong. It can be said that if there is any problem in Hong Kong on Horse Racing Day, it is no less than a magnitude 7 earthquake..."

Qin Haoran answered Zhuang Rui. In Hong Kong, horse racing has penetrated into the hearts of every Hong Kong citizen, and the Hong Kong Jockey Club is the creator and organizer of this movement.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club is approved by the Hong Kong government and is a charity specializing in Hong Kong horse racing. In the early days of its establishment, the horse racing activities were amateur. Since 1971, Hong Kong horse racing has been turned into a professional activity. Now the Hong Kong Jockey Club holds about 700 events a year, held in Sha Tin and the Race

In addition to betting in the court, the Jockey Club also accepts off-site, telephone and self-service terminal betting. There are more than 100 off-site betting stations and more than 1 million telephone betting accounts.

Perhaps from the following data, it can better explain the popularity of horse racing in Hong Kong,

In the season from 2001 to 2002, there were 4 horse owners, 24 trainers, 35 jockeys and smart horse racing horses, and the total amount of this year's horse racing is 7, m B Hong Kong dollars.

Excluding 58 billion lottery and 9.5 billion gambling tax, the Jockey Club's revenue is about 100 million Hong Kong dollars. The gambling tax paid by the Jockey Club reaches the Hong Kong tax. It is no exaggeration to say that the gambling tax paid by the Jockey Club largely supports the operation of the Hong Kong government.

After deducting operating expenses from the proceeds of the Jockey Club, all the surplus is managed by its Hong Kong Jockey Club Charity Trust Fund, which is mainly used for sports, entertainment, education, social services and medical purposes.

If you are unemployed in Hong Kong, you can get CSSA to see a doctor in Hong Kong, mainly humming Hong Kong ID cards and medical cards. All diagnosis, examinations, and [medicine] products are free of charge, including seeing a psychologist, and these services benefit from the charity fund of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

"Unbelievable, this is the real take for civilian use for the people?"

Zhuang Rui knew that the people in Hong Kong were treated very well, but he didn't expect that these treatments came from the gambling industry?

Compared with those casino tycoons in Macao who put the money won by gambling into their own pockets, Hong Kong's approach is undoubtedly more able to maintain this gambling for a long time. The reason is very simple. Everyone involved in betting and gambling understands that even if they lose their money in the end, they will benefit themselves.

It can be said that Hong Kong horse racing may be the only gambling event in the world that is popular with all people.

In Hong Kong, there is even a Horse Racing Museum, which covers an area of more than 600 square meters. The exhibition hall will continuously display short videos of the life of the early [China] Mongolian horses from the north to Hong Kong and Australia every day.

Visitors can design their own jockey's colorful clothes at the "colored clothing design station" in the museum, and take photos as a souvenir. In addition, they can also take photos of the horse in the "brilliant moment" to taste the champion horse owner.

Many factors have made Hong Kong horse racing more and more important to the world's horse racing world. Every year, some events are listed as international competitions to attract a large number of horse racing masters from all over the world and come to the competition with their own BMWs.

This has also made Hong Kong gradually become a center of world horse racing, and going to the racecourse to watch horse racing has become a must-see tour for foreign tourists visiting Hong Kong.

"Dad, you are so proficient in horse racing, do you often bet on both hands? Mom, you don't care about it?" Qin Haoran introduced the [xing] of horse racing to Zhuang Rui. The elegant image in Peace Day is very different. Zhuang Rui really can't imagine what his father-in-law will look like when he waving the lottery ticket excitedly?

Before Zhuang Rui's words fell, Qin Xuanbing pouted and said, "My mother? She didn't care. When I was a child, the two of them used to gamble on horses in their spare time except for work. At that time, my mother was better than my father..." "This... This, cough, Xuanbing, don't say that about your parents..." Zhuang Rui pretended to say Qin Xuanbing and said something to relieve his mother-in-law However, the smile on his mouth revealed his heart.

"This child, I still remember what happened at that time. Now your father is already a member of the Jockey Club. When Xuanbing's grandfather retires, he is likely to be elected as the director of the Jockey Club..." Although Zhuang Rui's mother-in-law is scolding her daughter, when she said that her husband will become A slight look.

Zhuang Rui was a little disapproved when he heard the words and said, "Director of the Jockey Club? The director of the charity, there should be nothing to do, right?" After hearing Zhuang Rui's words, Qin Haoran suddenly couldn't sit still, as if Zhuang Rui looked down on the director. He had no face, and now he didn't care to maintain the image of the elders in front of Zhuang Rui. He said, "Oh, I said, Xiao Rui, Yes, the old man has only become a director in recent years. I guess I will have to wait for a few years..." "Yes, Xiaorui, that's because you don't know the composition of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. These directors are not ordinary people..."

My mother-in-law was also very dissatisfied with Zhuang Rui's words, and now she popularized the composition of the Hong Kong Jockey Club to Zhuang Rui.

In Hong Kong, the Jockey Club is headed by the board of directors. The board of directors is headed by the [main] seat. It is composed of prestigious directors in Hong Kong. Each director is obliged to serve and there is no remuneration.

The daily management of the Jockey Club is carried out by the management committee under the leadership of the CEO. The Jockey Club is the largest employment agency in Hong Kong, employing a total of 4,150 full-time employees and 10,000 part-time employees.

Someone once joked that the largest club in Hong Kong is not a triad, but a Jockey Club, which is the real first force in Hong Kong.

And the members of the board of directors of the Jockey Club, as Qin Haoran said, are not available to ordinary people, including the Chief Executive of the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, Zeng Yinquan, the Yangtze River Industry [Master] Xi Li Ka-shing, the Financial Management Bureau [Master] Xi Ren Zhigang, the chairman of the Sun Hung Kai

Not to mention the directors of the board of directors, even the membership of the Jockey Club is highly respected. Members who apply for membership must be recommended by selected members of the Hong Kong Jockey Club. The Jockey Club has a total of 200 members, and there is a limit on the number of members recommended each year.

In addition to competing horses, members can also enjoy horse riding in the comfortable environment of the Pisces River Country Club. Justice Li Guoneng, Legislative Council [Lord] Xi Fan Xu Litai, university presidents, doctors and other social sages are all members of the Jockey Club.

When he heard this, Zhuang Rui couldn't help taking a cold breath, "Good boy, this is simply to catch all the people in the upper class of Hong Kong. If you can't develop, it's really unreasonable."

Compared with Li Superman's super-rich people in Hong Kong, it is really not easy for Mr. Qin to become a director of the board of directors. Judging from his wealth or social influence, Qin's jewelry is far worse than those business leaders in the Chinese circle.

"Okay, Zhuang Rui, don't listen to the two of them talking about Ma Jing. They say that they are not tired for three days and three nights. Let's take Brother Timur and Qiqige to their room to have a look. It's okay these days. Let's have a good time in Hong Kong..." Qin Xuanbing, sitting Rui also became a gambler, but she didn't know that if Zhuang Rui was determined to gamble, it was estimated that no one could be called the king of gambling before he died.

Of course, there is another possibility, that is, Zhuang Rui will be assassinated in a few years after hegemony in the gambling world. However, few people can finish well in the industry of fishing for the side door.

In particular, the power in Zhuang Rui's eyes was a little inexplicable, and he did not dare to do something against the sky. Even if he won some money from the gambling table, most of Zhuang Rui had dispersed. The reason why he promised Si Tai to participate in the opening ceremony of the new gambling company this time was actually another thought.

Zhuang Rui, who has always responded to Qin Xuanbing's request, shook his head and said, "Xianbing, you take Brother Timur and Qiqige upstairs first. My parents and I have to talk about some business matters..." "Okay, but you are not allowed to gamble..."

Qin Xuanbing stood up and stared at Zhuang Rui. Then she went upstairs with her tired children and Timur. It seemed that what happened when she was a child was about to leave a deep shadow in Qin Xuanbing's heart.

"Xiao Rui? What's the matter? Are you short of money on hand?

Hearing that Zhuang Rui wanted to talk about business with him, Qin Haoran was a little surprised. Qin's jewelry did not have any business dealings with Zhuang Rui. After the domestic diamond import and export business was liberalized, even the "Qin Ruilin" store in the capital had been purchased independently in recent years, and Qin's jewelry rarely provided the source of

"Dad, what do you think of the three new companies in Macau?"

There have always been only two kinds of companies in Macao. One is a financial company, which is a usury company, and the other is naturally a gambling company. Zhuang Rui believes that his father-in-law can understand his own words.

"Are you talking about the three companies that have newly got gambling cards?"

Qin Haoran thought for a moment and said, "Macao has been very effective in rectifying the gambling industry in recent years. As long as you can get a gambling card, you will definitely make a steady profit. Xiao Rui, are you worried about the shares in that company?" Zhuang Rui shook his head and said, "No, Dad, I want to transfer Bao, what do you think?" "This... This, Xiao Rui, others can't buy those shares with money?" Even if Qin Haoran had been in the mall for a long time, he also stood up from Sha Lou by Zhuang Rui's words, with a shocked look on his face.
