Rebirth: Rising Hong Kong - Chapter 1222
Charlie didn’t expect Shi Zhijian’s mouth to be so sharp. As for the ghost “Charlie Cao”, he didn’t know who it was.
“Haha, Pitt Jian, right? I really like to be an opponent with a low-level person like you, do you know why? Because I will play you to death!” Charlie put down his harsh words to Shi Zhijian.
Shi Zhijian shrugged: “It’s an honor! Let’s see who plays to the death!”
“Oh, what are you talking about?” President Mark suddenly asked.
Charlie immediately changed his expression and said very gentlemanly, “That’s it, Dear Uncle Mark, today is the day of the Paris Horse Race, and I, as the most famous young rider in France, is honored to participate in this race. , so I sincerely invite you to come and watch the game!”
“Horse racing? Oh my God, that’s great!” Few French people dislike horse racing. Mark was immediately excited when he heard this.
Even Di Xiang’s eyes lit up, showing that the French have a soft spot for horse racing.
Seeing this scene, Charlie couldn’t help feeling proud, turned his head to look at Shi Zhijian and said, “I’m sorry, Mr. Pitjian, we’re going to watch the horse race together later, what should you do?”
Just as Shi Zhijian was about to speak, Di Xiang said, “Why don’t you do this? Come with us. The French horse racing is very beautiful! It’s even more exciting than the British horse racing!”
“Uh, this—” Shi Zhijian touched his chin hesitantly, and then said a little embarrassedly, “I had other things to do, but since Miss Di Xiang invited me so sincerely, I would be disrespectful!”
Charlie rolled his eyes, thinking that you **** bastard, slick your tongue, let’s see how I fix you later!
“How about it, Charlie, let Pete Jian go with you!” Di Shan asked Charlie.
Charlie made a big appearance and shrugged: “Of course, I’m a very hospitable person! But what should I do? I only drove a car here!”
Di Xiang looked at the cool open-top Ferrari outside, “But your car just fits three people!”
“Really?” Charlie glanced at his car and thought **** it, he’d already driven another car over, and that car could only carry girls.
“Oh, I just found out! So then, Miss Dixiang and I are sitting in the front, and Uncle Mark and this Pete Jian sit in the back!”
“It’s not very good,” Di Xiang said. “It’s better for me and my father to sit in the back, and Mr. Pitjian and you in the front—after all, we just met each other.”
“That’s it!” Charlie was almost scolding his mother, “I’m mainly afraid that you will feel uncomfortable sitting in the back.”
“It’s okay, it’s actually nice to be able to sit in the back!”
“Yeah, it’s fine for me and my daughter to sit in the back row.” President Mark didn’t want to see his beloved little padded jacket sitting with other men, so he said.
Charlie scolded his mother again in his heart, “Oh, well, I won’t force it, then I’ll sit with this Mr. Pitkin—Pitkin, do you mind?”
Shi Zhijian shook his head: “Of course I don’t mind! Actually, I really like to sit in the front, especially a Ferrari like you, Mr. Charlie!”
…
The Paris Racecourse is located in the Sports Square on the east side of Paris. It was the place for the French military parade in the earliest days. In particular, the great French Emperor Napoleon liked to review the troops in this place, and there was a “horse race” in the review.
In 1776, France held the first horse racing campaign in France. Due to the social unrest and the poor people’s disinterest in horse racing on the eve of the French Revolution at that time, the impact of this campaign was limited. At the beginning of the nineteenth century, Napoleon advocated the promotion of horse racing, holding group competitions all over France, and the Paris final.
Soon, French and British aristocrats jointly launched the horse racing movement, the first horse racing association was established in France, and a horse racing training base was built in Chantilly on the outskirts of Paris. Since then, horse racing has gradually become a gathering place for the royal family.
In 1863, Napoleon III established the “Paris Grand Prix” for horse racing, which further contributed to the horse racing. It is the predecessor of the world-famous French horse racing award, the Arc de Triomphe.
Due to the freshness and excitement of horse racing, the special characteristics of showing identity and embodying honor, horse racing has gradually affected the life interest of the people from the aristocratic class. In 1870, Parisian industrialist Ao Lai invented the horse betting ticket, which soon became a popular way of betting on horse racing in the world, and is still popular in France and the world.
For the French people who love horses, every time the horse racing season comes, the horse racing is broadcast live on TV, and there is a large circle of people in the cafe, stretching their necks and staring, happy, anxious, singing, cursing… its lively level Eye-popping.
At this moment, the scene of the horse racing conference.
Even Charlie didn’t know what kind of mood he was in when he drove Shi Zhijian and the three of them to the Paris Racecourse.
But after arriving at the racetrack, Charlie became excited as soon as he saw his “turf”.
I got out of the car and walked all the way to the racetrack club, and said to Mark and the others: “Uncle Mark, don’t say you don’t know, the Caesar race club I am in is the largest club in the whole of France. It is not a member at all. You can’t go in! You are lucky today, I will take you in!”
Who is President Mark? When I heard this, I felt a little unhappy, thinking that even if your kid is the son of a congressman, you can’t boast like this. Why can’t I go in without you leading me?
Who is Charlie? Seeing Mark frowning, he immediately added: “I mean, of course it’s fine for someone like you, Uncle Mark, it’s hard to tell mainly because of someone!” After speaking, he glanced at Shi Zhijian intentionally or unintentionally. .
Only then did Mark feel more at ease.
However, Shi Zhijian was almost laughed at by Charlie’s words. In Shi Zhijian’s opinion, there is no place in the world that he can’t enter, even the Queen’s Buckingham Palace can come and go freely, not to mention a mere French jockey club?
Charlie continued proudly: “This club’s membership system is very strict, new members must be recommended and guaranteed by three old members, and they must pass the review of the club owner! Like me, it took a lot of hard work to get it. Such a small membership badge!”
Charlie said, showing off a badge and wearing it on the collar of the suit on the left, and flicking the ball with his hand: “Seriously, I am a humble person, and I would not take the initiative to wear this badge under normal circumstances. , mainly because it is too conspicuous!”
Not to mention, the moment Charlie put the badge on, the people passing by around looked at it with great astonishment and admiration.
Some even whispered: “Wow, that’s great, he’s actually a member of the Caesars Club!”
“Yeah, so young!”
Hearing this sound of amazement and praise, Charlie’s chin was raised so high that he was almost fluttering.
Mark couldn’t help but look up at this kid, and Di Xiang also showed a hint of admiration.
Shi Zhijian looked at the pretentious Charlie and wondered what would happen if he wore the badge of the Earl of the British Empire.
Of course Shi Zhijian didn’t do this, he was not as naive as Charlie.
How did Charlie know Shi Zhijian’s thoughts, and he was still proud of his achievements.
“Don’t say you don’t know, Uncle Mark! The jockeys in this club are all masters, and some have even won the Olympic stance… Of course, as the most potential, I am also working very hard. Catch up with them! Today is an important game for me, and you will applaud and cheer for me later, Uncle Mark!”
Hearing this, Mark nodded, and said very implicitly, “Of course, Di Xiang and I came here today to cheer for you!”
…
At the entrance of the Caesars Jockey Club.
Two black security guards are checking everyone entering the club very strictly.
“I’m sorry, please show your documents!” The two black men stopped Shi Zhijian and the other three.
At this time, Charlie stood up, didn’t say anything, just straightened his chest.
When the guard saw the membership badge on Charlie’s shirt, he was immediately awe-inspiring and said to Charlie, “I’m sorry, I didn’t know you were a member here!”
As usual, according to Charlie’s hot temper, he yelled, “Blind your dog’s eyes!”
But today in front of Mark’s father and daughter, he wanted to be humble and polite: “It’s okay, it’s not too late to know now—-this is the case, I know Sir Brown, the owner of the Caesars Club, and now I want to bring three friends in to see, I don’t know if it is possible?”
“Uh, this…” The two black security guards looked a little embarrassed when you looked at me and I looked at you.
Seeing the other party’s expression, Charlie was a little unhappy, “Well, you can call Sir Brown, I’m still the jockey for this race today, if my friend can’t get in, then I won’t go in either. As for Of course, I can’t participate in today’s competition—–As for the consequences, it’s up to the two of you!”
It turns out that Sir Brown is not only the owner of this club, but also one of the behind-the-scenes owners of this horse race.
Brown prepared a fine race horse for Charlie to ride, and he made a big bet to win.
Now that Charlie said something like this, the two black bodyguards were terrified. If Charlie couldn’t participate in the game, Sir Brown would blame them and they would not be able to bear it.
Immediately, the two black security guards were cowardly, and hurriedly stepped aside and said, “Since you have said this, sir, we don’t dare to say anything more—–three people please come in!”
Charlie smiled proudly, turned back to Mark and said, “Let’s go in!”
After speaking, he took the lead and swaggered into the horse racing club.
Shi Zhijian, Mark, and Di Xiang followed behind and walked in together.
Those who didn’t have the ability to go in could see clearly from the side, all with envy on their faces.
Not long after Shi Zhijian and the others entered, they saw a long-haired girl wearing a black dress and stockings swaying over and said to Charlie, “Charlie, you’re finally here! Sir Brown asked you to hurry to the training ground. It’s about to start!”
When Charlie saw the girl, he immediately smiled: “Don’t worry, Vivian, I invited my friends over to watch the game today, please help me treat them well, and now I’ll change my clothes!”
The long-haired girl named “Vivian” saw Charlie say this, and greeted Shi Zhijian and the others with a smile, and took the initiative to introduce herself. It turned out that she was the head of this club and a professional manager hired by Sir Brown. I have been in this line for a long time, and I can speak well, especially with a good appearance, and I belong to the type of courtesans who are very good at things.
“Our club was founded by Sir Brown. Sir Brown was a famous French man. His family used to be one of the best in the whole of France. His ancestors followed Napoleon’s conquest of Europe, to England, Prussia, Austria, and the Holy Roman Empire. In other places, it can be said that he has made outstanding achievements. Of course, he was implicated later because of the emperor’s resignation, so that the family gradually declined, but with the efforts of Sir Brown, he is now relying on his personal ability to restore the glory of the family! ”
“Take this Caesars Club as an example. It is a top club built by Sir Brown. Basically, all the famous and wealthy people in France who like horse racing are all members of this club. According to official positions, the last place must be local. District councilors, or mayors, etc. In terms of wealth, at least one’s net worth must reach tens of millions. Of course, these are not the most important things. The most important thing is that you have to be recommended by someone, that is to say, your Networking determines whether you can become a member here!”
Shi Zhijian didn’t feel anything after listening to it, but Mark and Di Xiang couldn’t help but stunned.
Especially President Mark, as the boss of the First Bank of France, he really doesn’t know what the rules of this ghost club are. Also, why didn’t they invite themselves? Are you not qualified enough? President Mark has some self-doubt.
Actually not so.
First of all, although President Mark likes horse racing, UU reading www.uukanshu. com is too busy with business, and rarely appears on such occasions.
Secondly, this club also sent an invitation to his old man at the beginning of its establishment, but at that time, Mark’s eyes were higher than Ding’s, and who would have known that the club had developed so rapidly in recent years.
Finally, President Mark has a special status. As the “God of Wealth” among public officials, any behavior will attract the attention of the media. Instead of joining such a club in a high-profile manner, it is better to be a low-key person.
“Today’s race is called the ‘Rose’ Cup Horse Race, which was initiated by Sir Brown, which means ‘Have a tiger in your heart, sniff the roses carefully!’
Di Xiang next to him raised his hand and said, “I know this poem. It is a classic verse in the masterpiece “To Me, Past, Present and Future” by the British poet Siegreev Sassoon.”
Vivian couldn’t help showing a look of praise, “It seems that Miss Di Xiang reads a lot and is also very artistic.”
Mark was very happy. Some people praised his daughter for reading a lot. As a father, he felt very relieved. After all, we are a cultured family.
“That’s right, what we Sir Brown mean is that although horse racing is thrilling and exciting, it is also an art! He wants to carry forward this art! Especially today is the first race of the Rose Cup. As the founder, this is an art. The game can only be won but not lost!”
After speaking, Vivian looked at Charlie, who had already changed into a uniform at the training ground, “And Mr. Charlie is our hope for this competition!”
