Chapter 586 Plan to promote horse racing to domestic cities!

In 1978, recommended by Xia, Chairman of the Hong Kong Jockey Club and Shen Bi, Chairman of Huifeng Bank, Yang Ming served as one of the twelve directors of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club is a public welfare undertaking, and Yang Ming, unlike other wealthy Hong Kong people, does not often go to horse racing matches.

On the contrary, after arriving in Hong Kong, Yung Chi Kin immediately fell in love with the horse racing competitions in Hong Kong and would always go to Happy Valley to watch the races on horse racing days.

In addition, Yong Zhijian's identity is different. Yong Zhijian is already a junior member of the Hong Kong Jockey Club.

After Yang Ming attended the groundbreaking ceremony of Xiangjiang Integrated Circuit Manufacturing Company, for more than a month, Yang Ming basically focused a lot of energy on Xiangjiang Science and Technology City.

It turned out that many people in Xiangjiang thought that Sir Yang was going to build an Imperial New City in the northern district of Xiangjiang. Soon, they learned that it was not an Imperial New City at all, but a Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park.

In addition to the technology industries under the Empire Group, it is also actively introducing other technology industries in Hong Kong.

Lijia Limingze in Causeway Bay, Xiangjiang, after learning the news, took the lead in moving Lijia's semiconductor company to the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park for development.

In addition, other related science and technology research centers under the Imperial Group have also gradually moved there.

In other words, the Xiangjiang Science and Technology Park at this time had just been established not long ago, and it began to slowly take shape.

Yang Ming just returned from the Imperial Group.

When I got off the car, I saw Ah Zhu, Zhong Chuhong, and Guan Jiahui waiting nearby.

"Young Master Yang, the president of the Xiangjiang Jockey Club just sent an invitation letter."

President of the Hong Kong Jockey Club?

Yang Ming never had time to care or pay attention.

"Butler, will the Jockey Club still be president Xia?"

"Yes, Mr. Yang."

Today, Hong Kong is still dominated by white people, including the Hong Kong Jockey Club and the Hong Kong Jockey Club, which originally served the white elite.

Yang Ming went inside first.

Lin Dezhong took the invitation letter over.

Yang Ming opened it and looked at it.

It says.

Your Excellency Sir Young, Imperial Group.

In a very humble tone, President Xia invited him to visit the horse race that will be held tomorrow, Saturday.

A season (called the horse racing season) generally starts from the beginning of September each year and ends in mid-July of the next year. Every Wednesday night horse race (changed to day horse racing on holidays), Saturday (or Sunday) and Sunday There are a total of 83 games in the horse racing season. Generally, day games start at 1:00 noon, and the number of games is 10 (sometimes there are 11 games, which start at 12:30); night games start at 7:15 p.m. , there are 8 games; each game takes about half an hour.

Now, as we enter September, it is the beginning of this year’s horse racing season.

Since October 1978, another Sha Tin racecourse has been opened in Xiangjiang. It is located in Sha Tin District and is a bit far from here.

Now, Chairman Xia made it very clear above that it will be held in Happy Valley, Hong Kong.

After Yang Ming read it carefully, he guessed that President Xia must have done that because he was invited to do something serious.

Although he usually serves as the twelve directors of the Jockey Club, it is more of an honorary role and he has no time to pay attention to the Jockey Club.

"Azhu, Zhong Chuhong, and Guan Jiahui will take you to watch horse racing tomorrow."

"Okay, Master."

Guan Jiahui really wanted to go out with Yang Ming.

Yang Ming goes out a lot and won't take them out.

During dinner, Yang Ming mentioned that he and his parents would go to Happy Valley to watch the horse racing tomorrow, and Yang Jirong and his wife agreed.

Have a night's rest.

Early the next day.

Yang Ming got up to swim, finished breakfast, and had lunch in advance in the morning, and then took the car to Happy Valley.

It’s not too far to go to Happy Valley from here.

Yang Ming and others' luxury car just arrived here.

President Xia, Shen Bi, Maili Hao and others were already waiting.

Yang Ming took Yang Jirong and his wife in.

Come to the VIP room.

"Hello Sir Yang."

"Hello, President Xia."

. . .

Yang Ming, Shen Bi, Mr. Mai Lihao and others greeted each other separately. It can be seen that they are still all white people. In other words, the current management of Xiangjiang Jockey Club has not changed much.

Yang Ming and others sat there chatting.

Guan Jiahui watched curiously, but she followed Ah Zhu, not daring to do anything else that would be embarrassing.

There is still some time before the first horse race of the day.

President Xia invited Yang Ming to another office.

Yang Ming stood there, and President Xia also stood there. From here, you could see through the transparent glass, and you could see clearly outside.

"Sir Yang, what do you think of the Hong Kong Jockey Club?"

“It’s going really well.”

Jockey Club In the late 1980s, the level of horse racing in Hong Kong was close to that of advanced countries in the world.

In 1988, the Hong Kong Cup Invitational Tournament was established, inviting horses from Singapore to compete in Hong Kong.

Soon, the horse racing events in Hong Kong gradually developed into international events in Hong Kong. Both the level of competition and the prize money are among the top levels in the world. International horse racing is held every year, and international horse racing also attracts horses, knights, etc. from different parts of the world to come to Hong Kong to participate.

Why is it said that horses can run, dances can dance, and stocks can speculate.

From this point of view, horse racing in Xiangjiang is very important and is deeply integrated into the life and culture of Xiangjiang. Although Yang Ming doesn't like it very much, it doesn't mean that the millions of citizens don't like it.

Every time there is a horse race, there will be crazy gamblers participating in it, hoping to get rich overnight.

In a society like Xiangjiang, many people have such thoughts.

"Sir Yang, I hope to expand the market for the Hong Kong Jockey Club."

Expand the market of Hong Kong Jockey Club?

Yang Ming was a little surprised.

This President Xia also seems to be a somewhat ambitious person!

As far as the Heung Kong Jockey Club is concerned, it already manages two racecourses, in addition to Happy Valley and Sha Tin Racecourse, but it is still not satisfied.

There are really many tourists from the Haojiang River, Nanyang tourists, tourists from Wanwan, etc.

"President Xia, please speak."

"It is said that the domestic environment has changed a lot now. I wonder if there is cooperation with the country in terms of horse racing?"

Yang Ming was really surprised.

He didn't expect that President Xia would actually introduce something like horse racing into the country.

There used to be horse racing in China, but that was during the Republic of China (Ice City Horse Racing was closed in 1952 at the latest).

Historically, domestic horse racing was strong in the 1990s, with appearances in many cities.

Like Yangcheng horse racing and so on.

Yang Ming had never seen it in his previous life in China, and he knew that period of history.

Chairman Xia is indeed very courageous. He actually wants to introduce Xiangjiang horse racing to the country and cooperate with the country to expand the horse racing business.

As far as horse racing is concerned, the business can be huge.

In addition to providing many charitable funds, it also provides a lot of tax revenue for Hong Kong. However, the Xiangjiang market is limited after all. On the contrary, the domestic population exceeds 1 billion, which is a huge market.

Even if we only cooperate in a few cities, the scale is very large.

"President Xia, do you want to start horse racing competitions with domestic cities?"

"Sir Yang, I have that idea. I think that with the current domestic investment promotion and the emergence of foreign businessmen, horse racing is also an exciting sport and a spiritual enjoyment, which can bring a lot of benefits to the country."

"President Xia, let's do this. Give me a report."

"Sir Yang, thank you."

"It should be. After all, I am also a member of the Jockey Club Board of Directors."
