Chapter 494 Betting on Horse Racing
As for the name of the company, Lin Hao has already thought of it, it will be called Continental Hotel.
Hmm~, but later I thought about it and felt that this was too arrogant, so I finally decided to be more low-key and just call it "Continental Group"!
If I have the opportunity in the future, I can open a global chain of mainland hotels.

Next, Steven asked his assistant to take over. Steven’s assistant was Lu Jinzhong, a native of Hong Kong Island. He had graduated from school for more than a year and had already obtained a lawyer’s license.

However, he is not a formal partner of the law firm and cannot take cases on his own for the time being. He can only work as an assistant to his boss, Steven.

What followed was a lot of signing. Even Lin Hao himself didn’t know how many documents he had signed, and this was just the preparatory work.

Finally, Lu Jinzhong said to Lin Hao:
"Mr. Lin, it takes about 5 to 8 working days to apply for two new identities and an offshore company, although it is quick. It takes about 10 days to apply for a Hong Kong company. The two companies also need to be associated, so the whole process takes about half a month."

"Offshore companies do not need employees, but here in Hong Kong, the company must have one employee and a contact number."

Seeing Lin Hao frowning, Lu Jinzhong quickly said:
"In fact, Lin Hao doesn't need to worry about this. There is a company in Hong Kong Island that specializes in this. They will help rent an operator when the time comes. One operator can manage dozens of companies."

"I have no problem with the employees, but does it take so long to set up a company?" Hearing that it would take half a month, Lin Hao was a little dissatisfied and felt that the time was too long, so he said:
"I've already said it before, if there is a company with complete qualifications, we can acquire it directly, so there's no need to delay for half a month!"

Lu Jinzhong immediately said: "Don't worry, if there is a suitable company, we will notify you in time!"

After paying a deposit of 30,000 yuan and settling his identity and company matters, Lin Hao left Steven Law Firm.

Standing on the side of the road, it was already dark and the street lights were gradually coming on. Lin Hao estimated that Wei Shuying and the children should be waking up soon, so he took a taxi back to the Mandarin Hotel.

After Lin Hao returned to the room, he found that several people had not woken up yet, so he called the front desk and asked them to prepare dinner and send it to their rooms.

After the waiter brought the food upstairs, Lin Hao went to the bedroom and gently woke up Wei Shuying.

"Shuying, Yicheng, Erqiang, Sanli, and Simei, hurry up and get up!"

When Wei Shuying opened her eyes in a daze, she immediately found herself in an unfamiliar luxurious room and became a little panicked.

Fortunately, I heard my husband's familiar voice at this time, and I was relieved. Seeing that my husband was waking up the children, I asked in confusion:

"Old Joe, where are we?"

At this time, several children also woke up. They suddenly felt unfamiliar with the environment. When they heard their mother's question, they immediately looked at Lin Hao.

Seeing everyone wake up, Lin Hao said:
"Here's what happened. After you fell asleep..."

Then Lin Hao briefly recounted the story he had adapted, and finally Lin Hao said:
"So, we are now at the Mandarin Hotel in Hong Kong Island!"

However, to Lin Hao's surprise, although Wei Shuying was a little surprised, she was unexpectedly calm.

I only heard Wei Shuying lower her head and say:
"In fact, when you said you were coming to the South, I could sense that your heart had already flown away. I originally thought you would go alone, but I didn't expect you would take me and the child with you."

Looking at the woman in front of me, although she is not a peerless beauty, she is also a pretty woman with delicate features, and the more I look at her, the more attractive she becomes.

Lin Hao knew what she meant by this sentence, but she was extremely disappointed with Qiao Zuwang in the past. Then Lin Hao said:
In fact, I have been hiding it from you just because I am afraid that you would think too much and be unwilling to come with me.

Then Wei Shuying pressed Lin Hao's lips with her hand and said with a smile:

"Whatever decision you make, I support you!"

Wei Shuying's words really surprised Lin Hao. Lin Hao didn't know whether this was Wei Shuying's true feeling or the assimilation effect of the hive consciousness.

In fact, what Lin Hao didn’t know was that since he gave Wei Shuying the life energy of her acquaintance in the operating room, Wei Shuying was not completely unconscious and knew that Lin Hao was with her in the operating room.

After she gave birth to the child, Lin Hao's meticulous care made her feel that there was something wrong with Lin Hao. How could he not know what kind of person her ex-husband was like after living with him for more than ten years? She just didn't want to think about it too deeply.

Of course, this does not affect her liking for the gentle, considerate and caring Lin Hao in front of her. No matter what, Lin Hao is her husband, and that is enough.

Coupled with Lin Hao's passive skill, the assimilation of hive consciousness, and the influence of many factors, she was able to face Lin Hao's decision calmly, because she believed that Lin Hao would not treat her unfairly.

Qiao Yicheng, who was standing by, only then realized that he had arrived in Hong Kong Island through Lin Hao and Wei Shuying's words.

Of course he knew about Hong Kong Island, it was all in the textbooks, but he was a little confused. Did they really come to Hong Kong Island? Why did they arrive at Hong Kong Island as soon as they opened their eyes?
As for the other three children, Erqiang and Sanli only vaguely felt that something big had happened at home.

Only the dazed Simei was staring at the feast on the table, licking her lips constantly, and then said to Lin Hao obediently:
"Dad, can we eat that?"

Seeing this, Lin Hao smiled and said:

"Okay, enough nonsense, let's have dinner!"

"Oh oh oh~! It's time for a feast!" For a moment, Qiao Erqiang and the other three beauties shouted happily.

Looking at Qiao Yicheng who was still in a daze, Lin Hao said:

"Yicheng, what are you still standing there for? Come and eat!"

"Okay~!" Then Qiao Yicheng also joined the group enjoying the feast.

After the family talked things out, they began to speak more casually.

After dinner, the four children were happily jumping and playing on the soft big bed in the bedroom. Finally, they didn’t have to squeeze in the narrow bunk beds.

That night, Lin Hao injected a lot of life energy into Wei Shuying, and Wei Shuying became younger and more beautiful. Lin Hao, who had not tasted meat for more than a month, naturally enjoyed her initiative.

noon the next day.

Lin Hao was having lunch with Wei Shuying and the children. At this time, Lin Hao said:
"Stay in the hotel for the afternoon and don't run around. When you get your ID cards, I'll take you out for a walk. How about that?"

"I'll listen to you!" Wei Shuying, with a rosy face, said in a slightly hoarse voice.

Lin Hao nodded, and then said to Qiao Yicheng:
Yicheng, today you will help your mother take care of your younger brothers and sisters. If you need anything, you can ask the waiter or call the front desk. The front desk phone is next to the telephone.

"Okay, just go with peace of mind!" Qiao Yicheng said immediately.

Lin Hao was speechless. What did it mean to go on the road with peace of mind? However, he did not care too much. He shook his head and went downstairs directly.

When he walked to the front desk, he gave the receptionist some instructions before leaving.

······
Walking on the brightly lit street, Lin Hao thought about what career he would pursue in Hong Kong Island in the future, and the first thing that came to his mind was real estate.

Since the oil crisis in 1974, the real estate market has suffered a severe blow, causing land prices to fall by 40%.

Last year, in 1976, Hong Kong Island began its subway construction project, which increased the value of urban land, and Hong Kong Island's real estate finally began to pick up. By 1977, the population of Hong Kong Island had exceeded 450 million, and half of them were homeless.

The next year, in 1978, the Hong Kong government implemented the "Home Ownership Scheme" (also known as the low-cost housing scheme) to solve the housing problems of 222.5 million ordinary citizens.

Therefore, Lin Hao believes that now is definitely the best time to enter the real estate industry, but the problem is that Lin Hao only has 300,000 Hong Kong dollars.

Such a small amount of money invested in this industry is not enough to be wasted. It’s not that you can’t make money in the real estate industry, but the money-making cycle is too long, so even if the rate of return is high, you can’t make much money.

Just when Lin Hao was thinking about how to make money, two men in suits walked by and one of them said:

"Today is Wednesday. There is a matinee this afternoon. Do you want to go?"

"No!" Another person refused, "I still have to go home and study the Mark Six lottery. The prize draw is tonight!"

“Mark Six Lottery is all about luck, there’s nothing to study about it. Horse racing is interesting and you can make money through technical analysis!” My companion disdained the Mark Six Lottery and was only interested in horse racing, so he kept trying to get his friends to go along.

"Tsk, you talk so much all day long, but why don't you win any money?"

People with different ideas cannot work together. After that, the two of them parted unhappily and went their separate ways.

“It’s a pity that I haven’t memorized the Mark Six lottery numbers, otherwise I would have made a fortune!” Lin Hao felt that after returning to reality, it was necessary to remember the winning numbers of previous years.

Of course, Lin Hao had no other intentions, he just wanted to experience it!

“However, even if there is no chance of winning the Mark Six lottery, you can still go and watch the horse racing in Hong Kong!” At this time Lin Hao was interested. This is one of the largest racecourses in the world and a favorite of Hong Kong people.

So Lin Hao hailed a taxi:

"To Happy Valley!"

"Handsome boy, you also like horse racing~!" When the driver heard that Lin Hao was going to Happy Valley, he immediately happily introduced the horse racing to him.

Happy Valley is in Wan Chai, also on Hong Kong Island, not too far away. There are two racecourses in Hong Kong Island.

One is the Happy Valley Racecourse, which has a long history and started hosting horse racing in 1841. The other is the Sha Tin Racecourse, but it will not open until next year, that is, in 1978.

Lin Hao arrived outside the horse farm and found that there were a lot of people here. There were many shops on both sides of the entrance, selling all kinds of things.

He asked and found out that the show was going to start at 7:15. It was still early, so he decided to just have a simple bite to eat first.

Lin Hao looked curiously at the store with a line of people at the door. After a closer look, he realized that it was a Mark Six lottery betting station.

Before Lin Hao prepared to watch the game, he bought a few Mark Six lottery tickets to warm up.

However, considering that the Mark Six lottery license is already in the hands of the Jockey Club, it would be a great time to make a fortune!
"No, I must help them reduce their burden today!" Lin Hao then entered the horse farm, sneaked into the stable, and then carefully observed the condition of several horses.

Finally, he went into the general manager's office to check if there was any cheating, but Lin Hao was obviously disappointed as he really didn't find any.

But Lin Hao refused to believe that the casino could resist controlling Marseille. But it didn’t matter. After observing the stable, Lin Hao was not afraid that they were up to something.

Then the horse racing block started, and Lin Hao prepared to buy a ticket. He followed the crowd into the racecourse, while observing the changes in the odds.

As soon as Lin Hao stood up, someone in the crowd shouted:

"The horse is out, the big card is on!"

The screen at the stable lights up, displaying information such as each horse's name, age, pedigree, and record.

In fact, this information is public and has long been released to the public. There is a magazine called "Horse Racing" in Hong Kong that specializes in studying this.

Several horses were led around the arena so that gamblers could choose their favorite horses up close.

But Lin Hao didn't recognize any of the names. He felt that every horse was very majestic, and Lin Hao had already been to the stables to see them.

After all, they are all from famous families and are the best racehorses carefully selected. The difference between each one cannot be too big. If the difference is too big, everyone will bet on the horse that is sure to win, and the casino will lose a lot of money.

But Lin Hao didn't care at all. He just played it for fun and wanted to feel the atmosphere.

There are many ways to play Hong Kong horse racing, including single win, position, consecutive win, triple color, single T, four consecutive rings, four-fold color and so on.

For example, if you bet on a single win, you buy the champion and calculate according to the odds of that horse. Some odds are high, some are low, some are only a few times, and the highest can reach 123 times.

This is still the lowest level of playing odds. If you guess one, two, or three in the triple lottery, the highest odds for getting all three sets right are as high as four or five thousand times.

Lin Hao just kept checking the odds, and then bought one thousand of various combinations. The only thing in common was that their odds were very high.

The method chosen by Lin Hao was simple and crude. He only needed to bet on the one with the highest odds. As for whether he would win the prize, Lin Hao was not worried at all.

Lin Hao had already marked several horses with mental marks. When the time comes, whoever Lin Hao wants to win will win as long as he moves his consciousness.

After that, Lin Hao started to do nothing. When this round started, the horse Lin Hao bought was already in first place.

Then the good news came on the radio:
"Congratulations to No. 3 for winning first place!"

"Damn, this is such an upset. What a pity I should have bought number 3!"

"It's all your fault. I knew number 3 would win. If I had bought number 3, the odds would be 92 times, and I would have made at least tens of thousands of dollars today!"

Listening to the people around him arguing fiercely, Lin Hao also did some careful calculations.

This time the winning odds are 92, the position combination odds are 32, and I just bought 1000 yuan, which is 12.4 yuan.

Afterwards, Lin Hao bought the second and third rounds, and he didn’t invest much each time.

When the odds were low, he bought 400 or , when the odds were less, to , and most of the time, to . After only buying three rounds, Lin Hao had more than million Hong Kong dollars in his hands.

If Lin Hao bought the triple lottery, he could earn more than 3000 million at one time. No wonder so many people are addicted to horse racing. It is so easy to get addicted to it.

Especially someone like Lin Hao, who has the ability to control the outcome of the game.
