109 episodes. There was something only I could see.
November.
The first week of the month is very special for Australia.
That’s because the Melbourne Cup, the famous horse race, is being held.
The correct name is Spring Racing Carnival.
It has established itself as a festival rather than a simple horse race.
“Jin, how about me?”
Jackie asked, boasting a hat and dress decorated with flowers, about half the size of her face.
“Wow, it’s really pretty. But isn’t it too flashy?”
“It’s okay. On Oaks Day, it should be more prominent.”
The Spring Racing Carnival is divided into four days.
aaIM Victoria Derby Day. (Derby Day)
Emirates Melbourne Cup Day. (Melbourne Cup Day)
Crown Oaks Day. (Oaks Day)
Emirates Stakes Day. (Stakes Day)
The highlight of these is the Emirates Melbourne Cup Day, also known as the Melbourne Cup.
And the most acclaimed star along with the Melbourne Cup winner will appear on Crown Oaks Day.
She is the winner of the Meyer Fashion on the Field, a fashion contest held that same day.
It is also called Lady Oaks Day because it is a day that attracts attention for women.
‘Are you really planning on going to the contest…’
It’s an unfamiliar dress code no matter how you look at it.
In particular, the hat is said to have been designed by Jackie himself, but there was no difficulty in making it difficult.
When I said that I was pretty earlier, I actually said it based on her appearance.
“Oh my, you’re so pretty!”
When I turned my attention to Jackie’s fuss, my older sister was standing there, wearing a dress.
Of course, the hat was made by Jackie.
It’s a reward for last time’s hair care or something.
“Are you really okay? This is so cheesy.”
The older sister said, touching the feathers that fell off her hat.
It was said that flowers were expressed with feathers, but there was no mention of whether my aesthetic sense was strange or pretty.
“Jin, aren’t you really pretty?”
“Yes? Yes. That’s right. What.”
“Hey, what’s your reaction? Not good?”
Of course not, the model.
Didn’t you even look in the mirror?
“Let’s go quickly. Everyone will be waiting.”
Henry and Helen and their parents were already in the lobby.
“Heh heh, the atmosphere comes alive when ladies appear.”
Henry raised his thumb as he looked at Jackie and his sister.
Then, while looking at me, he slapped me.
“You look great too. I don’t know who made it, but it goes well with the flower.”
I don’t know who made it, I don’t know what.
We all know it’s Jackie.
While he had a similar yellow rose decoration in his pocket instead of hanker chips.
The yellow rose is the official flower of Melbourne Cup Day.
The men also wore unique suits, but they were riding on the festive atmosphere with yellow roses.
“Henry, let’s go. It’s time.”
“Yeah, go.”
The black sedans lined up as if escorting a limousine were accompanied by pictures of the party in suits and dresses, like a scene from a movie.
Henry said on the way to Flemington Racecourse, where the Melbourne Cup was held.
“Jin, to other people today may be a festival, but we’re not going out to play. You shouldn’t be distracted.”
“I know. Don’t worry.”
Henry is saying that because today is also a place for socializing.
Celebrities from all walks of life interact with each other while watching the Melbourne Cup.
“Hey, did you say that the president of Inham is also coming today?”
“It’s a little bit later than us, but I heard they’ll arrive before the race.”
“Then, you will come to the banquet hall.”
“yes.”
Shortly thereafter, the limousine arrived at the main gate of Flemington Stadium.
There was a unique black iron gate with a European feel, and a large number of people came and went in colorful clothes.
“We can get off here.”
My parents and my sister got off first, and it was time for me and Jackie to get off.
“Jackie, take care of Jin’s family and call me right away if anything happens.”
“I will, aunt. Don’t worry.”
When I and Jackie got off, the limousine moved to a separate parking lot for VVIPs.
Henry, who had hardly been outside as a hermit manager, attended the social event because of work in the future.
In order to create a sovereign wealth fund, you need to get help from all walks of life, and for that purpose, it is best for social leaders to have a natural meeting.
“Jin, let’s go in quickly too.”
Jackie folded my arms and led me towards my parents and sister who were going ahead.
“Hmm, hmm. Yes, yes.”
The inside of the stadium was full of crowds and bands ringing a fanfare.
At first glance, it was said that over 100,000 people gathered in this stadium alone, so it was really worth it.
There was a large lawn spread out around the amphitheater, and three or three people were sitting and enjoying a picnic.
The appearance is similar to that of a Korean baseball field.
Again, the positive view of leisure sports was felt more than the negative view of gambling.
But after all, can horse racing be completed without betting?
There are more than 100 billion bets across Australia today.
“Jackie, isn’t that a bookmaker you’re holding?”
“That’s right, bookmaker.”
“Can the kids buy a bookmaker?”
“You can buy it through your guardian or teacher.”
“They buy betting tickets for the kids?”
“It’s the Melbourne Cup, ho-ho.”
Still, it is.
It’s a betting ticket for the kids.
This part still doesn’t work.
“What if the kids bet $1 and win 100x or 200x?”
It is not an impossible dividend.
It’s a competition where not only ten but twenty-four world-famous horses participate.
When you get it right, the dividend payout jumps to the ceiling.
“What should I do? If he earns that much by investing, he should praise him.”
“No, so what if he makes money so easily, and he gets into horse racing?”
Jackie tilted his head and said.
“So, explain everything. How you bet and what the outcome will be. If a child earns money by betting on a horse cheering with his pocket money, that’s what happened. maybe?”
It’s also a difference of opinion.
You gave me the necessary explanations, so I leave the rest to the child’s free will.
It is very different from our belief that children need to be protected and that it is best to prevent dangerous things.
“In a way, you can say that I respect the child’s will.”
“It is, but there is also something to show.”
“Are you going to show me?”
“Betting is played at this level of enjoyment, so you can experience it from a young age. When you bet with your child, which parent would bet $1 million or $10 million?”
“Hmm, no parent bets like crazy in front of their kids.”
That being said, prevention alone is not always effective.
As an adult, in this country, you can easily access casinos and horse racing.
It might be better to lead naturally from a young age.
– Jiying. jii ing.
At that moment, I immediately took out my cell phone at the sound of a vibration from the inside pocket of my jacket.
“hello.”
-Jin, this is Chris.
“Have you arrived already?”
– You’re here sooner than I thought. where are you?
“I passed the main gate, and now I am in front of the track.”
-Then wait in front of the Meccabi Diva statue. I’ll go there.
“Yeah, see you later.”
The horse statue standing on the grass next to the grandstand was taking commemorative photos with many people.
“Did this horse even put up a statue of Merciraco?”
The mother raised her head and looked at the statue.
“It’s the most wins in the Melbourne Cup. They’ve won three in a row in 2003, 04, and 05.”
“Is it that great?”
“Yeah. It’s one of the best horse races in the world. Besides, they say that the Melbourne Cup is harder to win than the American triple or European derby.”
“Why?”
“Other competitions are long-distance competitions, 2,500 meters is fine, but the Melbourne Cup is really long at 3,200 meters. It is also a handicap race.”
Despite the trend of shortening in the world for increased turnover and dynamic racing, the Melbourne Cup is sticking to 3,200 meters under the guise of keeping tradition.
Moreover, in the case of horses with excellent skills, they have to carry the weight of their hands, so the Melbourne Cup was not a competition that a horse with a high probability of winning would necessarily win.
“What about the handicap race?”
“Simply put, the horses with a high probability of winning run with sandbags on. Mechabi Diva also said that they won by running with a weight of more than 50kg.”
“Haigoma, 50 kg? That’s great.”
It’s a real monster.
In 2003, it was 50kg. Third, in 2005, I was told that it was a winning horse even though I gave it up to 58kg to stop drinking.
The organizers only had to erect a statue.
“Hey, Jin!”
Then Bobby and Chris, and John and Madduk Hunt approached.
The rest of the ranch staff said they couldn’t come to take care of the horses.
“It’s been a long time, everyone.”
I shared with them my return to Australia and introduced them to my family.
And I looked at Chris.
He was standing on two feet instead of the wheelchair he had been in.
“Thank you, Jin. Thanks to you, I can walk like this.”
“What did you say in the hospital?”
“They say it’s Segawa disease.”
Sega’s disease is a disease with functional impairment similar to cerebral palsy or Parkinson’s disease.
It is simply a problem of a decrease in the neurotransmitter dopamine, which causes muscle dystonia.
Chris said that Sega’s disease is an extremely rare disease, so it is often misdiagnosed.
“Are you okay now?”
“They say that if you take dopamine on a regular basis, you’ll be completely healed. I’m still in treatment.”
“I’m glad, really.”
How could my abilities bring about this kind of result?
It was the first case of helping a person other than a racehorse, so I felt really proud.
‘From now on, I’ll have to take a good look at everyone I meet.’
I tapped Chris on the shoulder and turned my head to Bobby.
“Bobby, we’re going to the banquet hall. Henry is waiting for you.”
“I see.”
Bobby coughed in vain while changing his fedora hat as if he was nervous inside.
“Today is a festival, so enjoy everyone. I’ll be back soon.”
I and Bobby headed to the VVIP banquet hall located on the upper level of the grandstand.
There were also Hollywood actors and foreign famous singers that were only seen on TV.
‘Wow, I thought it was going to be a hard place because it’s a social media center, but it’s not.’
There was no significant difference in their appearance or atmosphere except for the fact that the age group was higher than that of the lower floor.
There were occasional young people, but overall that was the feeling.
Henry and Helen were chatting with a middle-aged man.
“Henry.”
“Oh, are you here? Greetings. Minister Greg Norman of the Ministry of Industry, Science and Energy.”
“Hello, this is Edward Jean.”
He started living in Australia in earnest and started his English name for the first time.
The name Edward is a combination of the Old English words Eád, meaning wealth, and Wear, meaning protector.
It was meant to be used in the sense that he would manage the astronomical wealth he and Henry had made in the future.
“Nice to meet you, Mr. Jean.”
“Please feel free to call me Edward, Minister.”
“I do. I heard that you were in charge of the mining subsidiary of Bearfax, but I didn’t know you were such a young businessman.”
“We are working hard to live up to Henry’s expectations.”
After a brief greeting, I introduced Bobby to the two of them.
“This is Bobby Inham, president of Inham.”
“This is Bobby Inham. Hehe, nice to meet you.”
“Oh, I’ve heard a lot about Edward. This is Henry Bearfax.”
“Greg Norman. I’ve heard of Inham. Nice to meet you.”
Department of Industry, Science, Energy and Resources. (Ministry of Industry, Science and Energy Resources.)
As the elongated name suggests, it is involved in everything administratively and regulating Australia’s economy to grow.
In addition, it is a huge administrative department with a total of five ministers in charge of job increase and support in this regard.
Greg Norman said he was one of the five ministers, but was the only senator to have a strong political influence.
‘yes? That’s…’
In the body of such a great person, there was something that only I could see.
