122 episodes. No, in the words I saw today.
“CEO, how do you match the winning horse so well?”
Lucy made an absurd expression with a win rate of over 90%.
“Didn’t you hear about the Melbourne Cup? What are you so surprised about?”
“I thought I was lucky back then. But looking at it today, that wasn’t the case.”
“Haha, even after seeing you like this, I’m Machi. And if you win money thanks to me, you’ll put on a happy face. Don’t just look at the surprised rabbit eyes.”
With ten bets, I earned about 8 billion won, and Lucy made about 200 million won by copying me.
In her case, she only made small bets, but at the time when she went down, she bet big, so that was only the extent of it.
Still, it’s somewhere.
200 million as a business trip bonus.
“Taraoisia. (Excuse me.)”
While talking to Lucy, he turned his head to the Chinese that he heard from behind.
Yoohyeon blocked him from approaching me.
“Because it’s okay. Get out of the way.”
“yes.”
He was the person who stood by Yang Ah-gwan and Du Mun-jeong.
I was contemplating how to approach it, but rather, it came to me from there.
“What do you want me for?”
To my question, he spoke Chinese, which he couldn’t understand.
Do you know if I am Hong Kong?
Then Lucy stepped in and tried to talk to him.
“That person’s boss wants to meet the CEO.”
“Lucy, do you speak Chinese?”
“In addition to Chinese, Japanese, Spanish, and French are also available.”
Huh, were you fluent in 5 languages?
“That’s great, Lucy.”
It’s something I’m really proud of.
“Nothing to say. I think the CEO is more amazing. But what would you say?”
“I want to meet you.”
Lucy spoke to him right away and translated for me.
“CEO, you can follow this person to the VIP seat.”
“Then will it happen?”
As I was about to leave, people murmured and some asked questions in English.
“Look, how many horses will win the next race?”
“Tell me one more time.”
I smiled and answered.
“I didn’t have time to look at it properly. It’s the last race, so please enjoy it lightly.”
“Still, please take just one picture.”
“That’s right. Thanks to you, I won a lot in the previous match, so it’s okay to lose.”
I scratched my head and answered as if I couldn’t help it.
“Well then, keep an eye on No. 2 horse. I think it’s the best when you look at horses alone.”
Then, all at once, sighs came out.
It was because the 2nd horse had the second highest probability of winning and the dividend was not very good.
“Let’s go.”
Many people watch my back as I leave with regretful eyes.
Is this the reason cysts are created?
It feels so good, this.

The VIP seats were about ten pyeong.
There were two triad bosses, Yang Ah-gwan and Du Mun-jeong.
His attendant, who had led us here, approached them and said something.
It was probably talking about us.
“Welcome. You were a younger teacher than I was told.”
Yang-gwan welcomed us in fluent English.
“The reason I asked to meet like this was no other than that, because the teacher’s ability to see horses was amazing.”
Besides, Du Mun-jung also speaks excellent English, so I was confused as to whether I was meeting a businessman or the boss of the Triad.
“That’s right.”
“This friend here is Yang Ah-gwan, the head of a film production company, and I’m Du Mun-jeong, who works in the horse racing industry. What does your teacher do?”
“My name is Edward Jean, who runs a small company in Australia.”
“Australia… It’s a good place. The level of horse racing is high. So, the teacher’s skills are great.”
“Haha, it’s not that great. It’s just a little trick.”
“A little talent with a win rate of over 90%? Hahaha.”
“It’s a small feat compared to a multi-billion dollar business. You’re both entrepreneurs, so I’m sure you’ll understand.”
At my words, Yang A-kwan burst out into a cool laugh.
“Uh-huh, that’s right. A man can be said to have great talents only if he excels in business. If you say that, Gero came here because he wants to do business.”
“I thought that they are big business people because they are VIPs of Happy Valley Racecourse, which has a deep history and tradition. So I came here to see if I could make a little relationship.”
“Have a good night. Everything in business comes from relationships.”
“To do that, I think the first thing to do is to win the hearts of the two with a little talent. Can we guess the winner of the next race?”
“Is it possible?”
“I’m going to Paddock for a while. And I’ll tell you the results.”
I went outside with Lucy and Yoohyeon.
“Lucy, let’s see if there are any issues related to the triad and horse racing. We don’t have time, so we just need to figure out what’s revealed.”
“Yes, sir.”

Yang Ah-gwan said as he filled Du Moon-jeong’s glass of wine.
“Boss, what do you think?”
“You look fine. Like young people these days, they don’t just talk with their mouths, they know how to show their actions first.”
“Isn’t that right? If I say that confidently, even if I make a mistake this time, I want to give you one more chance. Hwamun, Aso. You too should always be confident and confident. That way, the other person will respect you without ignoring you.”
“Ugh, Grandpa, someone is ignoring us. Even the teachers at school don’t tell us anything.”
At Hwamun’s words, Yang A-gwan grinned and fed him honey chestnuts.
“Hey man, that’s because you have this grandfather behind you. Do you think this grandfather can live for a thousand or ten thousand years?”
“I live for ten thousand years, grandfather. I like my grandfather more than my father, hehe.”
“Heh heh, old lady.”
Yang A-gwan stroked his grandson’s hair and said to Du Mun-jeong.
“Yeah, talk to your club and ask them to send you a copy.”
“Data?”
“It’s about the race material that Tsumei’s horse competed in. Maybe it’s there.”
“Yeah, that’s right. It would be nice to show it to the young teacher and compare it.”
Du Mun-jung immediately called somewhere, and someone who appeared to be an employee of the Hong Kong Jockey Club brought a laptop.
“The old man, the race record and video of the King you mentioned.”
“Leave it there.”
Yang A-Kwan played the video of the laptop left by the employee.
“Hey, even though I don’t know how to speak, the Myeong King is definitely different. How many wins in Macau now?”
“As far as I know, 15 out of 15 wins. However, Macau’s horse racing is of low quality, so even if it is undefeated, it won’t be highly evaluated. Even though the Great King is great, there’s no need to be too scared.”
“Still, look at that King of Kings. He has a different color. No matter how low his level is, he seems to have a different level.”
“Hwangryong will appear in the next race, so let’s compare them.”
“Hwangryong? How come it has a similar name to a flying dragon?”
When Yang Ah-gwan asked a question out of curiosity, Du Mun-jeong answered with equal momentum.
“My brother, the dragon. I couldn’t show my skills properly when I was 2 years old because of a bad temper, but after that, I got a Myeongjo teacher to change my habit, so I’m looking forward to it.”
“Hey, his great teacher.”
“Look, second place in winning probability. Experts also appreciate it. In fact, today’s Happy Valley’s protagonist is Hwangryong.”
“If such a guy is second, what does he mean by first place?”
“Ah, the number one is because of the jockey rather than the horse. The club has signed the American jockey Harris Johnson this time.”
“Who is that?”
“The legendary rider who achieved the triple crown. Although it is being evaluated that it is a little past its heyday, it doesn’t matter where the class goes.”
“It would be great if the odds of winning were number one with a horseshoe.”
“That’s great. I heard you spent quite a bit of money to recruit him.”
“If you look at it that way, the Hong Kong horse racing world is also strange. We import horses and jockeys. We also win international competitions well.”
Du Mun-jung answered with the expression of asking a natural question.
“So money isn’t good, hahahaha.”

Returning to the VIP seat, I held out my betting ticket.
Yang A-Kwan and Du Moon-Jung looked at it and their eyes widened.
“I bet 6,500 Hong Kong dollars on the 1st hit Black Wind, the 2nd 7th Thunderbolt, and the 3rd and 2nd Hwang Dragon?”
“No, since Heukfeng and Hwangryong have the 1st and 2nd odds of winning, respectively, is that even a brain name? They’re in the lower ranks, so you’re going to break the 2nd place?”
I smiled and nodded my head.
A faint glow from the Melbourne Cup.
I was able to choose the words within the first three strokes with that alone.
The reason why I classified the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd places in it is thanks to my experience and analytical skills.
“Let’s look at the results. I’ll tell you little by little when the game starts.”
So the last race of Happy Valley Racecourse began.
The twelve runners were all popular horses worthy of decorating the finale.
– Doo doo doo doo.
Through the glass of the VIP seat, the horses and riders ran through the track in unison.
Influenced by British horse racing, the grass line became a stage for sprinters running the last race to show off their skills.
“It’s slowly narrowing down to the championship.”
The nursery clenched her fists and walked closer to the table.
“Four dogs, the first, second, and third pieces will come out of the three that the teacher placed and the No. 10 North Star.”
I swallowed a couple of saliva and clasped my hands together.
“No. 10 will tremble in the 4th corner. I’m running out of stamina.”
As soon as I finished my words, when entering the 4th corner, No. 10, who was competing for the lead, fell to the bottom as soon as the straight line started, and No. 2, No. 7, and No. 1 speeded up in that order.
“No. 2 gets excited too easily from the paddock. At the end of the race, when the competition is at its peak, you’ll have a hard time controlling your temper.”
Unsurprisingly, as Hwangryong’s playing method became rough and the rhythm of the wet bob was disturbed, he began to lag behind the other two.
In the meantime, the rider of the No. 1 Black Wind skillfully raised the last spurt and drank the No. 7 thunderstorm by one car to win the championship.
“He’s a great jockey. From the positioning to the sense of betting, there’s nothing to criticize. The black wind was good too, but today’s victory is probably because the jockey’s skills covered the shortcomings of his horse.”
I picked up the HK$6,500 three-way ticket that was on the table.
About 100 million Korean Won.
However, this money is now 500 times, 500 million, and has returned.
The triple win is not available in Korea, but is a very high amount betting method available in advanced horse racing countries such as Japan and Hong Kong.
Literally, it is a bet with extremely low probability of getting the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd hits in order.
So, if you bet 100 million, it would have been 50 billion, but since there are two Moonjeongs in the horse racing industry, I had to be content with a small bet.
If you get 50 billion won right in front of him, your business is going across the water.
-match. match. match. match.
Du Mun-jeong looked at me, applauding with a bewildered expression.
“You, Gero, you bet $65 million because of me. You were sure you’d win.”
“Isn’t the guest supposed to look at the heart of the owner? That way, he will be able to stay in this house for a long time.”
“Uh-huh, one analogy is amazing. Yeah, sometimes there are people who are guests and pretend to be masters. They don’t even know the subject.”
Yang A-Kwan smiled as he had shown before and held out the laptop screen on which the video was displayed in front of me.
As soon as I saw the words on the screen, I thought of the meeting of the four major factions of the Triad that Lucy found out.
It was also related to that.
“What is this?”
“Did you see the horses from today’s race?”
“I watched everything from the first match.”
“Then watch the race of the horses in the video and compare them with today’s horses.”
I immediately scrutinized the race log and video.
“How is it?”
“The two of you must be looking for an opponent who can defeat this famous king, right?”
“That’s right. Is there any?”
Doo Moon-jung waited for my answer with eyes full of anticipation.
“No, among the words I saw today.”
