Chapter 270 How did you get in touch?
The horses for each race are drawn in advance, so you never know who the opponents of the horse you're interested in will be.

There are always new racehorses and new jockeys entering the arena, and different weather conditions also have an impact, as well as the condition of the horses and jockeys, and so on and so forth. So it’s always full of variables, and that’s the charm of horse racing!

But Wang Yuanchao thought that they should find a way to come up with a million-dollar prize, otherwise the influence would be lacking. This needs to be carefully designed.

The Jockey Club and the dog farm made a lot of money, and the Zhou family and Wang Yuanchao also had a lot of money.

Based on Wang Yuanchao’s share, the net profit is about 50 yuan a month, and the Zhou family gets almost 120 million yuan!

Huge profits!
No wonder the Zhou family disagreed with the initial share!

If it weren't for the cooperation that the Zhou family had secured, Wang Yuanchao would have been afraid that he would not have been able to take on this wealth.

In Zhou Qibang's words, the people in the Jockey Club were jumping up and down with envy. No one had expected that there would be such wealth. It was more than doubled, it was more than doubled!

The gambling business of the outside societies has been greatly affected. Even gamblers know that the profit opportunities of horse racing ticket sales outlets are high, and those large orders of hundreds of thousands are all made by gamblers.

Ordinary people are not that keen on gambling and will not bet so much.

Even Zhou Xinian didn’t expect it!

Such a huge profit far exceeds the betting profits from the big horse lottery and small lottery in the past at the racecourse. After all, the amount of money piled up by the poor is still scary.

The Hong Kong Jockey Club is already studying how to make the event more standardized and professional.

Yes, historically, horse racing in Hong Kong only became professional from amateur in 71.

Prior to this, the development of the Jockey Club mainly relied on member donations, membership fees, horse ticket sales funds, and betting funds from horse racing on the track.

Now, this process has been greatly advanced.

In fact, this also exceeded Wang Yuanchao's imagination.

He also didn't expect that with the help of the newspaper and radio station, the profits from horse racing tickets would soar to unimaginable levels.

In addition, in order to protect the privacy of the winners (after all, the associations are in power, and people dare to talk about it anonymously. If they really dare to reveal that they have won the grand prize, aren’t they afraid that the associations will come to their door and ask for protection fees?), the banks that have cooperated with various sales outlets are responsible for redeeming grand prizes of more than 1,000 yuan.

Banks are also willing to waive service fees, and it would be best to allow customers to deposit their bonuses directly in the bank.

The winner can simply go to the corresponding bank the next day to exchange the horse racing ticket for a check or cash.

When you go to the bank to do business, no one knows that you have won the lottery, right?
Unless you brag about it!

Only Phoenix Daily and Hong Kong Business Radio know who has won the prize, because they will be waiting at the bank, as we are all partners.

How could the winner not give this little face?
Newspapers usually invite people out to a quiet place for tea and interviews, flattering the winners and letting them show off happily; while radio stations make appointments with people and drive to pick them up in the evening to ensure the privacy of the winners.

Winners need to share with others! If you don’t tell others about your wealth, wouldn’t it be like walking in the dark in a splendid robe? Anonymous sharing is also sharing!
So it’s hard for other companies to snatch this meal.

In Wang Yuanchao's hands, all of this formed a complete closed loop.

Deep Blue + newspaper + radio station + horse racing, if you are not careful, you can earn two to three million every month.

Oh, there is also a plastic toy factory Blizzard and a paper box factory.

The current person in charge of Blizzard is Zhu Li. One of the first researchers was not only an expert in plastic color matching, but he also created mixed-color plastic toys through secondary injection molding before the introduction of two-color injection molding machines.

The toy factory did not get the big order from the beautiful country that Wang Yuanchao had been dreaming of, but took advantage of the "Hong Kong Week" and "Industrial Fair" to receive a lot of local orders and export orders from foreign trade companies.

Currently, the number of workers of all types reaches 500, surpassing Deep Blue in one fell swoop.

But the profit is far less than Deep Blue.

The monthly profit is only 10, the per capita energy efficiency is extremely low, and the salary is naturally much lower than that of Deep Blue.

If there are 5000 workers, then the monthly profit can easily become 100 million, right? The annual profit can easily exceed million, which is even more attractive.

Li Chaoren did the same thing.

This is normal in the plastics industry.

Everyone relies on more orders and more manpower to get higher profits.

Ultimately, it comes down to the order.

Only those who have orders are the big shots.

As the president of the Plastic Flower Industry Association, Li Chaoren had a large number of orders distributed to various plastic flower factories. However, his own plastic factory switched to producing plastic toys.

We still have to go to Europe and the United States to find big orders.

As for the paper box factory, internal supply does not make money, but is only for cost saving.

Wang Yuanchao received a call from Howard Wood, who invited him to have afternoon tea at the Mandarin Oriental Hotel on Hong Kong Island.

Mandarin Oriental Hotel, Hong Kong's top luxury hotel, is located at 5 Connaught Road Central, Central, overlooking the Victoria Harbour.

It only takes about 3 minutes to walk from the Star Ferry terminal.

This is the hotel where my brother Leslie Cheung jumped off the building.

When we arrived at the reserved booth, Mr. and Mrs. Wood were already there drinking coffee and waiting.

Seeing Wang Yuanchao coming over led by the waiter, the couple stood up to welcome him.

When they saw Lou Xiao'e behind Wang Yuanchao, Delia covered her open mouth in surprise!

Oh my god, another one of her students!
During the days in the capital, Lou Xiao'e spent much more time with Delia than Wang Yuanchao!

Delia walked out of her seat with her arms open. Lou Xiaoe also smiled and walked forward quickly, hugging Delia tightly. Howard also stretched out his arms and hugged Wang Yuanchao warmly.

This surprised the waiter. These two Chinese people should not be underestimated as they could make John treat them with courtesy.

Especially that man, he is so young, I wonder who he is from!
The four of them sat down, and Howard said:
"Tea or coffee?"

Wang Yuanchao said to the waiter:

"Green tea, thank you!"

Lou Xiao'e also said sweetly:
"I'm just like him."

After the waiter left, Delia said excitedly:

"Oh my god, I didn't expect we would meet here again.

When Howard said he saw you at the Capital Railway Station, I didn't believe it.

But he didn’t mention Lou!”

Wang Yuanchao said:

"I just came from the mainland. Xiao'e came here with her family to settle down two years ago."

Howard smiled proudly at his wife and said:
"See, I was right, wasn't I?
I told you the number Wang left for me on the train, but you didn't believe it?"

Delia still couldn't figure it out, so she said:
"You tell me a string of numbers and say it's Wang's number, can I believe it?

How did you two do it?

It’s so mysterious!

Our carriage was clearly reserved for envoys and their families, and there were guards there, so how did you two end up running into each other?"

Lou Xiao'e was surprised:

"You met on a train heading south? And there was someone watching over you?"

Delia said:

"Oh, didn't the king tell you? I still don't understand how the two of them got in touch."

Howard looked at Wang Yuanchao who was smiling, and said:
"Then I should let my friend, your student, the King, tell you."

After saying that, he winked at Wang Yuanchao.

Wang Yuanchao and Lou Xiaoe took the tea served by the waiter, nodded slightly, and then smiled:
“It’s not that mysterious.

I saw you at the station, and of course I also saw the people who escorted you.

What a coincidence, the people who escorted you were resting in our carriage. We were not allowed to move forward, so I knew that the carriage ahead should be yours. "

Wang Yuanchao took a sip of tea, looked at Teacher Delia and Lou Xiaoe's eager eyes, and continued:

"At first I didn't know you were coming to Hong Kong, but every time the train stopped at a station, I would go out for a walk and get some fresh air."

Howard added:
"Coincidentally, I also went down to one of the platforms to get some fresh air. Then our eyes met!"

These two people, one has sharp ears and eyes, and the other has professional observation skills, it is easy for them to meet each other.

Wang Yuanchao smiled and said:
"Then at the next stop on that platform, Howard came down again."

Howard said:

"That's because you touched the words 'Yangcheng' on the train sign. I think we might be in the same business!"

Because she had personally experienced the journey from Yangcheng to Pengcheng, and then through the border to Xiangjiang, Delia was puzzled;
"Then Guangzhou is also far from Hong Kong, right?"

Howard laughed and gestured with his hands:
"Because Wang used his fingers to write H and K on the license plate! He wrote them several times in the air. Then I made a check mark with my right hand and touched my beard with this gesture, which meant it was right!"

The hook, the hand sign eight, looks like the correct hook to the person opposite.

Howard is quite knowledgeable about Eastern culture.

Seeing Howard talking and gesturing like this, Delia probably understood and said:
"You guys are too complicated. So the number you used to contact Wang was also a gesture?"

Howard nodded and said:
"Yes, the Eastern culture is broad and profound. One hand can express various numbers. I guessed that Wang's hand gestures were a series of numbers, and then I came to Hong Kong to settle down. I tried it and it turned out to be correct."

Delia said to Wang Yuanchao with lingering fear:

"Wang, Howard is a diplomat. If you get too involved with him, you might end up..."

What he said shows that he truly cares about Wang Yuanchao, his student and friend.

Lou Xiao'e was so nervous that she was speechless. She could almost imagine the tension and danger behind Wang Yuanchao and Howard's casual conversation.

One of her hands tightly grasped Wang Yuanchao under the table, meaning: Why are you taking such a risk? Is it worth it?
But she said nothing on the surface.

Wang Yuanchao gently stroked the back of her hand, meaning, don't worry.

Howard quickly explained:

"Don't worry, I'm not staring at your student. I put a mirror on the seat that will reflect him perfectly!"

Delia thought about how her husband seemed to have fiddled with the small mirror for a while, so she looked at Wang Yuanchao:
"If he hadn't told me, I wouldn't have thought of the mirror even when I was with him. How do you know he has a mirror?"
