If you want to be a good person, find Huadi

The next day, Liu Yi didn't get up until noon. He'd drunk too much with his Seventh Brother the night before. Seventh Brother, as usual, got up early to exercise before going to work. He'd arranged for a Filipino maid to cook for Huadi. After dinner, Liu Yi went to the Hualian Office to see Director Wang. He wanted to become the agent for Guo Yingnan's gambling business, but he needed Director Wang's approval. He spent the entire afternoon negotiating with Director Wang, and finally secured his approval. Then, the two of them found Guo Yingnan before dinner.

"Mr. Guo, the two of us are here to have dinner with you. I hope you won't be unwelcome." Director Wang first said to Guo Yingnan.

"How can I not welcome you? Director Wang is a distinguished guest that I cannot even invite normally. Please sit down first. Dinner will be served soon. Third sister, go and call Ating down." Guo Yingnan instructed his servant.

"Director Wang, you're here today for something important, right? Dinner is about to start, let's talk about it after dinner." Guo Yingnan said straight to the point.

During dinner, Guo Zhenting specifically asked Huadi when he could get his money back. Liu Yi replied that they would have to wait until they had finished discussing it. Guo Yingnan and Guo Zhenting exchanged a glance, realizing that Huadi had come with bad intentions. It looked like something serious was going on, and he had even contacted the Hualian Office.

After dinner, Guo Yingnan brought everyone to the study. After everyone sat down as host and guest, Guo Yingnan spoke first: "Huadi, just tell me what you want to say. I have to go out!" His tone seemed a little casual, but his eyes were fixed on Huadi.

Huadi didn't respond immediately, but Director Wang, standing nearby, took over. "Mr. Guo, the truth is, when we were last in Canada, you mentioned your intention to transfer your shares in Macau Entertainment. After Minister Chen returned, he gave a detailed report to the leadership. The leadership was very impressed with your courage and decision-making ability, and they sent me here to express their gratitude to you."

After hearing this, Guo Yingnan frowned slightly and asked doubtfully, "Gratitude? It's just my own shares that need to be transferred. It's not a big deal. Besides, I was planning to transfer these shares to Ah Xin. There's no need to alarm the leadership to express gratitude."

"Thanks are a must. As a leading figure in Hong Kong and Macau, your every move has a significant impact on the situation in Hong Kong and Macau. Your pioneering move to give up the gambling industry has a positive impact on the entire Hong Kong and Macau. Of course the leaders have to thank you." This time it was Huadi who said it.

Guo Yingnan knew exactly what was going on. Huadi expressed gratitude and said he was transferring the gambling business, but in reality, he didn't mention He Xin at all. Wasn't that simply because he didn't want him to transfer his shares to He Xin? Guo Yingnan could understand, though. After all, his heart was already leaning towards the country. If He Xin took his shares and then drove Nie Aotian away, wouldn't the Haojiang gambling industry become He Xin's sole domain? This was a situation no leader wanted to see.

"Okay, kid, stop beating around the bush with me. Just say whatever you want to say. We are family, there is nothing to be ashamed of." Guo Yingnan decided to get straight to the point and asked Huadi directly what he wanted to do.

"Uncle Nan, I'm here to talk to you today about something quite important, and it's related to your shares in Haojing. I'll talk about my plans first, and then we'll discuss your shares in detail." Liu Yi also stated the purpose of his visit. He had brought Director Wang as the leader to ensure that the matter could be completed. After all, Director Wang represented the country. He knew that Guo Yingnan would definitely see through his little tricks, but he felt that sometimes these little tricks still had to be used.

"Come on, you've been giving me a lot of trouble these past few days, but you're pretty good. You made 200 million in just one afternoon. You're making money pretty fast."

Liu Yi heard the dissatisfaction in Guo Yingnan's tone, and knew that his use of Director Wang as a banner had made the other party feel uncomfortable. After all, Guo Yingnan had already provided Huadi with tens of millions of funds, which showed that he was full of trust and support for Huadi. However, now that an official figure like Director Wang has been invited, it feels like pressure is being exerted. Faced with this situation, Liu Yi immediately responded: "Old people are still the best. If it weren't for your advance planning, Uncle Nan, I might not be able to come back. So everything must be controlled by you." Hearing Liu Yi's words, Guo Yingnan felt a little happy. After all, it is always a pleasure to be praised. Then, Liu Yi continued to ask: "I will talk about the 200 million later. Now let me talk about my views on Haojing. Haojing's gaming industry was developed by you, Mr. He, and Mr. Nie, but do you think a pure gaming industry is a good thing for Haojing? Haojing is about to return, so will the gaming industry be affected? Have you ever thought about doing some other industries in Haojing?"

Guo Yingnan didn't answer. He thought what Huadi said was nonsense. Guo Zhenting saw that the atmosphere was about to cool down, so he quickly said, "Let me speak for my father. Regarding the gaming industry, our Guo family has never supported nor opposed it. Our Guo family's roots are in Hong Kong. The reason we went to Haojiang to engage in the gaming industry was purely to help Uncle Xin. Now that Haojiang is about to return, according to the nature of our country, the gaming industry is prohibited. Of course, Haojiang is a special administrative region and is an exception, but it is better for the country to develop diversified industries. My father is also willing to set an example and be the first to withdraw from the gaming industry. That's why my father wanted to transfer the shares to Uncle Xin."

"Okay, Uncle Nan. Let me first share an opinion for your reference. I believe that after Haojing's return, its development will be even faster, and the revenue of the gaming industry will increase even faster." Liu Yi looked at Guo Zhenting seriously and said, "The reason is that our country is undergoing reform and opening up, and all walks of life are booming, and the people's income is also gradually increasing. When you have money, you have to spend it. Domestic urban development is still relatively backward, so people with money want to visit some developed places and have some fun. And the key point is that gambling is prohibited in the mainland, so..." Liu Yi was interrupted by Guo Zhenting before he finished speaking. "So there will be a large number of people coming to Haojing for tourism, right?"

"That's true! Nowadays, the number of people coming to Haojing is relatively small. The key is that the procedures for coming to Haojing are cumbersome and difficult to handle. However, once Haojing returns and the procedures are simplified, the flow of people coming to Haojing will show a geometric growth. This will provide a steady source of customers for the revenue growth of Haojing's gaming industry." Liu Yi went on to explain.

After hearing Liu Yi's argument, Guo Yingnan and Guo Zhenting disagreed. Guo Zhenting was the first to speak: "Do you really think people in the mainland who earn less than a few hundred yuan a month can afford to travel? Let alone gamble?" In fact, even Director Wang initially doubted Liu Yi's words, given the mainland's continued poverty. However, having heard Liu Yi's argument that afternoon, he understood and was willing to believe his prediction.

Liu Yi passionately retorted, "That's because you don't understand the mainland at all, and don't understand what it will become in the future. Besides, there are still nearly nine years until Macao's return to China. Can't anything be changed in those nine years?"
