Soon, after another round of the game, Luo Wei noticed that Community 4’s wealth ratio had once again exceeded 50%.
It had to be said that the Conglomerate players’ wealth ratio exceeding 50% indeed occurred frequently, with a probability much higher than Luo Wei had imagined.
Obviously, Lin Sizhi’s proposed condition that "Conglomerates can prioritize obtaining investment returns" gave the Conglomerate community a sufficiently large advantage, ensuring they had absolute initiative in wealth ratios.
This was also an important reason why Han Mengying agreed to this plan.
Without pre-agreeing to the 2:1:1 ratio, the Conglomerate community’s wealth expansion rate should be far higher than the two Civilian communities.
As for how much higher this expansion rate specifically was, Luo Wei found it difficult to calculate in a short time.
Because each game round’s situation was too complex, with frequent investments or investment return collections between communities, and different return distribution methods for each investment.
Such complex situations, with inability to update all data in real time, definitely couldn’t be calculated clearly by human brains in a short time, not even by actuaries.
Of course, there was no need to actually calculate every step clearly.
As long as each round calculated the wealth ratios of various communities, then made rough adjustments in the next round, it didn’t need to be so precise.Luo Wei came before Community 4’s players, "Your wealth ratio has exceeded 50% again. Community 12 currently has the lowest ratio, so you should invest in Community 12 once, with all returns going to the investee."
Han Mengying agreed readily, "No problem."
She had Sun De, who had already been selected as ’Finance,’ go to the notary office to invest in Community 12.
Similar behaviors had occurred many times, so it wasn’t particularly novel.
Luo Wei was still thinking about what kind of excuse would make offering help seem less abrupt, but unexpectedly Han Mengying took the initiative to speak.
"You’re an actuary. Can you help us calculate? I want to know according to current return situations, after how many game rounds we can reach total wealth of 500,000 and 1,000,000 respectively.
"I want very precise answers."
Luo Wei pretended to hesitate and didn’t immediately agree.
Han Mengying smiled, "No problem, there’s still plenty of game time. You can consider slowly.
"However, I’m very interested in Community 17. Since we have nothing else to do, could you briefly tell me what Community 17’s ecology is roughly like?"
Luo Wei immediately became vigilant and countered, "Then why don’t you introduce Community 4’s ecology?"
Unexpectedly, Han Mengying didn’t refuse, but smiled and agreed.
"No problem, I can introduce it to you.
"Because our Community 4’s ecology is perfect.
"No one could possibly find attackable weaknesses. On the contrary, smart people will learn from our community ecology, ultimately making all communities become similar."
Luo Wei looked Han Mengying up and down somewhat doubtfully, unable to determine whether she was bluffing.
Han Mengying smiled, "Actuaries should all be smart people. As long as I simply explain a few core points, you’ll understand I’m right."
...
In the following time, Luo Wei frequently traveled between Community 4 and Community 17.
Such personnel movement wasn’t particularly abrupt, because with the need to constantly adjust wealth ratios, all three communities had someone like a ’messenger.’
’Messengers’ generally wouldn’t be served by finance players, since players like Qin Yao and Zhou Guifen were already giving their all just doing accounting.
As the game progressed, game content gradually stabilized, and players’ time was no longer so urgent.
Besides pressing buttons in the work area at the very beginning, other time was relatively free, and quite a few people could even spare time for casual conversation.
"How was it?" Seeing Luo Wei return once again, Cai Zhiyuan asked.
Luo Wei silently shook her head, "Didn’t find any breakthrough points.
"Their wealth structure is perfect, always ensuring one ‘Old Age’ player and one ‘Adult’ player in management.
"Especially the ‘Old Age’ player will always ensure 150,000 or even 200,000 wealth value. Even if we counted all returns in one game round, we’d be far from reaching this number."
Though Civilian players could also concentrate wealth, since everyone couldn’t cover their identity cards, once any Civilian player’s wealth value was too high, it would trigger vigilance.
Conglomerate players would come negotiate, and if negotiations failed, they would inevitably raise various tax rates, especially inheritance tax, to interrupt Civilian players’ attempts at wealth concentration.
So under game mechanisms, seizing ‘Old Age’ management positions was absolutely impossible.
Cai Zhiyuan asked again, "What about their community ecology? I noticed that although these four people are led by Han Mengying, they’re obviously in a three-plus-one state.
"That player called Sun De seems to have no voice at all. Could we find ways to create internal strife from his angle?"
Luo Wei shook her head, "Almost impossible.
"That Sun De is indeed a puppet, but he obeys Han Mengying’s decisions completely, not daring any resistance.
"The remaining two people, though having slightly less voice than Han Mengying, can reach consensus with her in most situations. It’s actually a very stable state.
"The possibility of internal strife is almost zero."
Cai Zhiyuan said nothing more, just nodded, "Thanks for your hard work."
Luo Wei hesitated, "Wait, actually I want to ask... will our community’s ecology always maintain its current state in the future?
"Don’t misunderstand, I didn’t reveal any of our community’s ecological issues to Community 4, but this isn’t hard to see. Han Mengying is very smart and perceptive.
"She said if we continue forcibly carrying... burdens in every game, someday these people will become fatal weaknesses, making us lose completely.
"Our community’s organization level is indeed... not high enough."
Obviously, Qin Yao wasn’t necessarily much smarter than Community 12’s players. That she could mistakenly enter such a high-level game was the direct responsibility of Community 17’s other members.
Without much consideration, Cai Zhiyuan said decisively, "Yes, our community won’t actively abandon any weak person.
"The community structure won’t change either."
This was quite a definite answer, leaving no ambiguous space whatsoever.
Luo Wei nodded, "Mm, good. I think this is quite nice too."
...
The 9th round ended.
[Current Total Wealth: 452,000 minutes of visa time]
Seeing this number, many people’s faces showed delighted smiles.
There were still 11 rounds remaining, with ample time and optimistic circumstances.
Though they’d need to continue ensuring wealth ratios among the three communities, not necessarily maximizing investment returns every round, conservative estimates suggested earning another 700,000-800,000.
This was a very impressive number.
