"Take pictures of their faces and then report to the police to arrest them. We can't handle these guests ourselves."
The manager made a quick decision.
The dealer is one of our own, so we can do whatever we want with him.
These few are technically guests of the casino, so we need to use formal thods. Otherwise, if we go too hard, we'll lose future custors.
It seems the dealer's salary really isn't high.
After witnessing this farce, Chen Yiyang now believed what the young dealer said earlier about his low salary.
If the salary were high, he wouldn't do such a foolish thing.
The next day, when Brian ca to see Chen Yiyang again, he told him that dealer was already hanging by a thread.
And the casino had figured it out; the dealer, using this thod with his friends, had made over forty thousand NZD from the casino.
For that amount of money, taking such a huge risk is indeed not worth it.
"To be honest, this guy would have been better off being a thief on the street, earning more with much less risk," Brian said. "Considering the current state of the Auckland police, just stealing might not even land you in jail."
"Has Auckland's security deteriorated to this level?" Chen Yiyang asked, sowhat curious.
"Why else would I consider immigrating," Brian said frankly. "Auckland is an immigrant city, where many people don't even have identification, making it difficult to catch criminals. Moreover, the city's administrators are out of their minds."
"How so?" Chen Yiyang asked.
"They insist on not punishing minors and give indigenous people preferential treatnt," Brian said, shrugging.
After hearing Brian's complaints, Chen Yiyang understood.
Auckland used to have good security primarily because the governnt had enough money to provide welfare to everyone, including illegal immigrants.
When everyone's able to get by, naturally, security is good.
But now, the governnt has no money, yet legal and illegal immigrants keep coming to Auckland, drawn by tales of past welfare.
So, many people co here and find that governnt welfare can't provide a decent living, naturally breeding various cris.
But this isn't actually the main source of cri in Auckland.
Auckland has two major sources of cri, one from minors.
Due to many legal workers insisting on not punishing minors, penalties for juvenile cris are light or simply not enforced.
This leads to many minors committing malicious cris without reason or economic motivation, such as group fights and robberies.
And, because these actions aren't stopped, they're spread online, prompting other minors to imitate.
Of course, these two issues might have solutions.
But the last one is unsolvable.
Because there's a group of people in Auckland that the police don't dare to intervene with even when they commit cris like robbery.
Which are the local indigenous Maori.
Being the original owners of the land, today's Maori can be said to stand on a moral high ground overlooking everyone else.
How serious is the Maori cri problem? Even now, despite police turning a blind eye unless it's a major cri, Maori still make up more than fifty percent of the prison population while being only fifteen percent of the population.
These are statistics from four or five years ago, and now the situation is even more severe.
"You could say there are no free lunches in the world," Chen Yiyang sighed after hearing Brian's story.
The issue with the Maori, the Auckland governnt still can't control it.
After all, no matter what you say, they can say, 'Why don't you go back to Europe?'
Moreover, most of New Zealand's profitable industries rely on New Zealand's natural resources, inherently owing the Maori.
"By the way, when are we going to eat?" Chen Yiyang, chatting with Brian, felt a bit hungry and asked.
Initially, the two planned to have dinner at Space City last night.
But it got late after watching the commotion, so they postponed it to today.
"I plan to bring a few friends over. I'll cover today's al, and you can treat next ti when you're free."
"Sounds good." Chen Yiyang nodded in agreent.
Chen Yiyang and Brian arrived at Sky City's fine dining, and his invited friends also showed up.
The group included immigrants from Asia as well as local New Zealand businessn.
Chen Yiyang acquainted himself with them.
Chen Yiyang was quite interested in the immigrant from Asia and intended to chat more, but the local New Zealand businessman discussed a topic that intrigued him even more.
"I've officially sued the North Arican governnt. Their Great Commander's discriminatory tariff policy resulted in my losing millions over the past few months."
"Has New Zealand been subjected to high tariffs too?" Chen Yiyang curiously asked.
"There aren't many countries globally that haven't been hit with increased tariffs by North Arica," the New Zealand businessman shrugged.
"But do you think you can win?" Chen Yiyang was very curious.
"The company handling my lawsuit is a financial services company owned by the North Arican Comrce Secretary's son, so there's Hope," the man said casually.
"Wait, what?" Chen Yiyang was stunned.
So, the father instates tariffs, then the son helps companies sue the North Arican governnt demanding compensation?
"That's basically it," the New Zealand businessman said matter-of-factly. "Though their financial services company will take most of the compensation, what's left will cover my losses, otherwise why would I be so sure."
It's brazen.
Chen Yiyang couldn't believe there's such a way to play the ga in this world.
He felt chatting with these people was too challenging to his worldview.
So he turned to inquire about the Asian friend brought by Brian.
"I'm Korean, you can call Kim Dongwook." The Korean introduced himself.
Chen Yiyang didn't know him, but he definitely knew Chen Yiyang.
After all, as an erging young tycoon, what Chen Yiyang didn't realize was that he had a fan base even in South Korea.
Many young people wished they could beco rich quickly like Chen Yiyang by riding several waves of opportunity in succession.
In South Korea, the narrative is that Chen Yiyang's wealth is entirely due to initial investnts in entertainnt and technology products that struck gold.
"What did you do before?" Chen Yiyang asked curiously.
"Invested in TV dramas," Kim Dongwook replied. "But I was swindled out of a huge amount by those punks in South Korea, forcing to immigrate to New Zealand."
"Care to share?" Chen Yiyang was very curious.
