Hong Kong Giant Owl: Rebirth

Chapter 547
The place where Okvito met Qin Haoran was neither at the Garden Hotel nor at his villa in the golden area of ​​Los Angeles, but at a horse farm called "Billy Ward" in the suburbs of Los Angeles.

Qin Haoran had never been to this racecourse which is quite a distance from the city center before, but when he came to the gate of this "Billyward" racecourse, he knew that the customers in this racecourse must be rich or expensive.Because this "Billy Ward" racecourse can be seen at a glance as a rare high-end racecourse, and it is definitely not something that ordinary people can enter and consume.

Moreover, equestrianism is not a popular entertainment, and few ordinary people can afford it.When Qin Haoran arrived, there were two men in white uniforms waiting for him in front of the gate of the racecourse. As soon as they saw him coming, they stepped forward and asked respectfully, "Excuse me, is this Mr. Qin Haoran?"

Qin Haoran nodded slightly, and the two said, "Hello, Mr. Qin, Mr. Okvito is already waiting for you inside, please come with me."

Thus, Qin Haoran followed the two men into the "Billy Ward" racecourse.

Equestrianism is a traditional entertainment for many aristocrats, especially those powerful aristocrats, who usually have their own horse farms, as well as professional grooms, veterinarians, horse trainers, etc., and spend tens of millions of money every year to maintain their operations .It is also because equestrianism is a traditional entertainment for many nobles. Those who have made a fortune in recent years and entered the rich class, in order to improve their social status or flaunt their own uniqueness, they will emulate those traditional nobles in all aspects .

Some people like this kind of people who have made their fortunes and become the top rich in recent years are called "new nobles", while others are directly called "upstarts".

Of course, there are also some people who really like equestrianism and have a soft spot for horses.

The Rockefeller family is so powerful that even the real nobles dare not take it lightly, so their people's use of horses as a pastime will not be for the sake of arty.As a member of the Rockefeller family, it is not surprising that Octavito likes equestrianism.

And the facilities in this "Billy Ward" racecourse are also very complete, not only a large training ground, but also restaurants, fitness rooms, coffee shops, etc., and there is a golf course on the other side.

When Qin Haoran followed those two people to the training ground, he saw two men galloping inside. There were also a few people outside the training ground who were closely watching the situation of the two people in the training ground. Master Ma and the medical staff took immediate measures in case something happened to the two of them on the field.

Look at the two galloping men in the arena, both wearing vests and riding boots, one of them is Okwito, and the other is a handsome man in his early 40s with a delicate mustache under his nose.

And the horses under them, Okvito's head is reddish brown, and the other man's is black, both of them look very handsome, they can run effortlessly, and the sweat that is slightly thrown out can be seen in the sun. There was a faint red light underneath!

Discovering this, Qin Haoran was taken aback. If he read correctly, those two horses should be the world-renowned "sweaty BMWs".

The so-called "sweaty horse" is actually called the Ahal Teke horse, which is also called "Tianma" or "Dawan Liangma" in Chinese historical documents.As the most precious BMW, the Akhal Teke horse was mostly used as a court horse in history. Many emperors such as Tang Taizong Li Shimin, Genghis Khan and Alexander Macedonian used this horse as a mount.

And the most famous "Red Rabbit" in history is also a "Sweaty BMW".

As for the origin of the "sweat and blood BMW", it is Turkmenistan today, and the stock of "sweat and blood BMW" in the world is about [-] to [-], most of which are donated by Turkmenistan as a national treasure to other countries A diplomatic gift, extremely precious.

In the 60s, a "sweaty BMW" cost at least 20 US dollars if it was sold privately, and the non-top rich could not afford it.Moreover, the "sweaty BMW" is not finished after it is bought. It also needs to be provided with various supplies and living environments, and the cost is also expensive.

Of course, in the eyes of the Rockefeller family, such an expense is as insignificant as buying a car for ordinary rich people.

Qin Haoran saw that the man next to Octoveto was extraordinary, and enough for Octoveto to accompany him, so he concluded that the man must be an important figure of the Rockefeller family.

At this moment, Qin Haoran was standing under a sun umbrella outside the railing of the training ground, and Octavio also rode his horse and slowed down, letting the reddish-brown "sweaty horse" walk and trot over with him.

Close to the railing, Octavito was riding on horseback, and smiled at Qin Haoran like this: "How about Haoran, are you interested?"

Okvito spoke to Qin Haoran in such a posture, which meant that he was a bit condescending, and his eyes were also looking down.Qin Haoran was naturally dissatisfied in his heart, but he would never show it on his face. Instead, he smiled and said, "I don't want it anymore. I haven't learned how to ride a horse."

Qin Haoran is telling the truth. He himself is indeed well-informed and knows a lot of things, but he is really a layman when it comes to horse riding, so there is no need to make a fool of himself.

Okvito didn't make a fool of himself, but turned his head to look at the middle-aged man who was still riding his horse and whipping his whip, and said to Qin Haoran with a smile: "Haoran, do you know that person?"

Qin Haoran also looked at the man again, then shook his head and said, "Forgive my ignorance, I don't know that gentleman, but I guess he should be a member of your Rockefeller family, your elder?"

"Yeah." Okwito nodded slightly: "He is the Uncle Lawrence I mentioned to you before."

Lawrence Rockefeller!

Qin Haoran had actually seen this person before, but it was not in reality, but in the illustration of a certain book, which had a photo of Lawrence Rockefeller on it.When he met Okvito last time, Qin Haoran heard him talk about that "Uncle Lawrence", and even "Uncle Lawrence" was full of praise for Feng Chengcheng's talent.

At that time, Qin Haoran hadn't realized it yet, but now, seeing that Okvitto respected Lawrence very much, and then hearing Okvitto's important mention, Qin Haoran remembered it.

A member of the Rockefeller family, whose name is Lawrence, and whom Octavito respects so much, is the Lawrence Rockefeller that Qin Haoran knows.

According to the development history of the Rockefeller family, the current Rockefeller should be passed down to the third generation, and the head of this generation of Rockefeller is David Rockefeller.Lawrence Rockefeller is David's younger brother.

At the very beginning, John Rockefeller Jr., the head of Rockefeller of the previous generation, wanted to choose an heir from among his sons, but Lawrence Rockefeller, the fourth son, did not enter John Rockefeller Jr.'s sight.

And Lawrence never had any interest in oil and iron ore, the largest industries run by the Rockefeller family, from the very beginning, but had a soft spot for finance, which Rockefeller was not familiar with.

Lawrence did not compete with David for the succession of the Rockefeller family. David was naturally happy to see the success, and he treated Lawrence very well.So when Lawrence proposed to develop in the financial industry, his father John Rockefeller Jr. disapproved at all, but David privately provided Lawrence with a start-up capital of 20 US dollars.

With this 20 US dollars, Lawrence, who is extremely talented in the financial industry, has shown amazing ability. In less than ten years, the 20 US dollars has been multiplied by a hundred times, accumulating to nearly 2000 million US dollars financial resources.

2000 million US dollars is not a big fortune in the entire Rockefeller industrial system, but Lawrence's talent in finance shocked the entire Rockefeller.After that, Lawrence became the commander in chief of Rockefeller's development of the financial market, and he was specifically in charge of this area.

The reason why Qin Haoran knew Lawrence Rockefeller was also because of Lawrence's important position in financial history.

In the United States, Lawrence Rockefeller is known as the "Father of Venture Capital".

The so-called "venture capital" is actually venture capital.In the general sense, venture capital refers to investments with high risks and high potential returns, while in the United States, general venture capital is invested by professional financiers in emerging, rapidly developing companies with huge competitive potential. A type of equity capital.

Simply put, venture capital is high-risk and high-yield at the same time.After an investor chooses an investment project that he thinks has great potential competitiveness and development prospects, he will put money into it in exchange for equity.If the project succeeds in the end, the investor's income will naturally be maximized.And once it fails, all the funds invested by investors will be lost.

Lawrence is a pioneer in this field of venture capital, and can be said to have created a precedent for venture capital.

Coincidentally, Lawrence also graduated from Princeton University, but he studied philosophy.

Qin Haoran admired Lawrence Rockefeller very much. In his "previous life", he once regarded Lawrence as his idol when he was studying at Princeton University.

But now that he really has the opportunity to meet this "idol", Qin Haoran's feelings are quite different.

Whether the Rockefeller family is an enemy or a friend has yet to be determined. Maybe in the future, Qin Haoran will have to fight Lawrence Rockefeller, his former idol.

Suddenly, a smile appeared on Qin Haoran's mouth, because he remembered that an unknown person once said that the greatest respect for idols is to completely surpass and defeat idols.

At this time, Lawrence Rockefeller also noticed Qin Haoran who was coming here on horseback.
