If you want to be a good person, find Huadi

The next day, Liu Yi took Ji Chi to Haojing. Originally, Liu Yi's plan was to let Ji Chi be responsible for external affairs and deal with all kinds of people; while Dao Zai was responsible for internal affairs, including security and catching cheats. As for other affairs, they were handled by people originally from He Xin. However, because Dao Zai needed to go to Canada, this plan had to be adjusted. For now, Xiao Mei is temporarily in charge of catching cheats. Although her gambling skills are far from Ji Chi's, they are enough for ordinary cheaters. In addition, He Xin has professionals who can assist.

Before leaving, Liu Yi had already detailed his future casino management strategy to Ji Chi. As a gambling genius, Ji Chi largely understood Liu Yi's thinking, but he was puzzled by Liu Yi's refusal to use a junket operator.

A "Jiaimaizai" (a tycoon or 協码仔) is someone who exchanges chips for customers to generate lucrative profits and also refers gamblers to take out loans, often at high interest rates. Generally, "Jiaimaizai" do not directly engage in loan sharking; they mostly refer gamblers and do not commit illegal acts. However, some "Jiaimaizai" engage in loan sharking referrals.

Their income comes from: referring new customers, receiving commissions from the casino; exchanging chips for customers, generating a profit; and introducing customers to loan services, pocketing the difference. While these seemingly legitimate income streams can lead to numerous illegal activities, it's common knowledge that nine out of ten gambling operations result in losses. What happens when gamblers who borrow from junket operators fail to repay the high-interest loans promptly, or when they lose their chips playing with them off the table? They face violent debt collection by the triads. Junket operators assess the financial strength of individual gamblers and determine loan amounts. Ultimately, even if they can't collect their money back, they can exploit these gamblers as "pigtails" to profit. Triads don't consider the well-being of others; they only care about their own sexual well-being and financial prospects.

This peculiar profession, known as "Jiaimaizai," is nothing more than a middleman system. On the surface, these individuals help casinos attract more gamblers, thereby increasing their profits. However, in reality, this practice has led to a host of illegal activities and social problems. For Liu Yi, if he wanted to expand into the gambling industry, adopting the "Jiaimaizai" system would undoubtedly provide a significant boost while also effectively mitigating potential risks. However, Liu Yi had no such plans. He clearly understood that gambling was only one of his future strategies for attracting tourists; there were many other viable avenues for Guo Yingnan and He Xin to enrich themselves. So why would he choose such a clearly flawed "Jiaimaizai" system? After all, in a previous life, he had witnessed firsthand the tragedy of people being driven to death by "Jiaimaizai" and witnessed countless legitimate businessmen being lured into gambling by "Jiaimaizai" and ultimately bankrupted. Furthermore, the fact that most "Jiaimaizai" were also involved in the so-called "pigtail" business further solidified Liu Yi's resolve to abandon this system. Although Ji Chi expressed confusion about Liu Yi's decision, wondering why even a prominent figure like He Xin used a junket operator, Ji Chi was a man who took his word very seriously. He essentially followed through on whatever Liu Yi assigned him, with the exception of Boss Fan and Xiao Mei. Of course, Liu Yi also patiently explained that he could still make money without a junket operator. He also explicitly told him that upon his return, he would persuade He Xin to give up the junket operator as well. Ji Chi then stopped talking.

There were things Liu Yi didn't want to hide, but he couldn't say them because they were his foresight into the future. He knew that in the future, the junket operator system would flourish, bringing in huge profits and enormous profits. However, it would also spur countless illegal and criminal activities. After Haojiang's return to the motherland, the number of gambling licenses would increase, and at that time, he planned to have He Xin cease his junket operator business. This would concentrate the junket operator business in the hands of his competitors. While this might have some short-term impact on his own business, in the long run, once the junket operator scandal was exposed, many customers would return. Moreover, the reputation of his competitors would also suffer a significant blow.

In the past, despite its notorious reputation, the junket operator system was not subject to government crackdowns. This was primarily due to the enormous wealth and profits it generated for casinos, and its widespread adoption by casinos led people to dismiss it as a problem. In reality, illegal activities were often carried out privately by junket operators and their partners, with no direct connection to the casinos themselves. This is why the junket operator system continues to thrive, becoming the subject of numerous film and television productions. Things are different now. With Liu Yi as a positive figure, legitimate and high-quality gamblers tend to choose his casinos, while those lacking legal financing options flock to competitors. Over time, competitors will accumulate a large number of bad debts, and numerous crimes, both overt and covert, will occur. Once the situation becomes uncontrollable, whether the government will ban the junket operator system is no longer up to the casino owners.
