Han Mengying sneered, "What an idealistic plan!

"You can indeed refuse to cooperate and lie flat, making the total wealth fall short of 500,000.

"But have you considered the consequences of failing the game?

"You'll only be able to bring 10% of the profits back to the community, and if the visa time returned is less than 10,000, an additional 50,000 minutes will be deducted.

"Mr. Lin, you might be wealthy enough not to care, but do the others share this sentiment?

"Moreover, we can use the wealth earned in the first 10 rounds to depart, can you do that?"

Lin Sizhi was unfazed by Han Mengying's provocation, "Have you ever heard of the 'Happy Loser Principle'? Clearly, you, as the wealthy conglomerate, are the happy ones in this game.

"When faced with the possibility of a 'lose-lose' scenario, it's supposed to be you who should back off.

"This is a great opportunity for you to earn visa time.

"If you can quickly absorb the investment profits, the total wealth by the end of the game might reach 1.6 million or even 1.8 million, with the wealthy conglomerate getting at least 800,000.

"Split equally among four people, each can return 50%, which means nearly 100,000 visa time per person.

"You think we're afraid of losing visa time, but aren't you afraid of this 100,000, which could be easily earned, flying away like a cooked duck?

"On this matter, can your community's four members reach a consensus?

"If it ends in a 'total loss,' do you think Community 12 or Community 17 will feel worse, or will it be Community 4 feeling worse?

"As for departure, it's difficult for you to ensure that all wealth is distributed evenly, allowing all four people to exceed 100,000.

"So, if you plan to depart, someone will have to be abandoned. Who do you plan to give up?

"Of course, even if you do depart, we would only welcome it.

"Because once you've departed, you relinquish the management room's powers, and for the remaining 10 rounds of the game, our 8 commoner players can play at zero tax rate.

"Because we are more in number, we can occupy 8 buttons to maximize job income without triggering wealth shrinkage and achieve the maximum investment income limit fastest.

"With the same 10 rounds of gameplay, we 8 can reach the 500,000 total wealth target without any deductions."

Han Mengying fell silent.

Because she felt that Fan Zehui and the players from Community 12 had already tilted towards Lin Sizhi's side in their hearts.

The threat of a 'lose-lose' situation lies not in the specific actions but in convincing the other party of your determination to achieve it.

Clearly, after Lin Sizhi's words, Community 12 had somewhat gained this determination.

Though not entirely resolute, it was enough to make Han Mengying change strategies.

Han Mengying attempted to engage in a debate with Lin Sizhi over game rules as a test of the waters.

If Lin Sizhi couldn't present convincing enough reasons, and Han Mengying successfully persuaded Community 12, the game would end early, leaving no suspense.

But now, Han Mengying's attempt had failed.

Lin Sizhi and Community 17 really were not easy opponents.

"Okay, I admit some of what you said makes sense.

"However, you still need to propose an allocation plan that satisfies all of us, or else this fragile cooperative relationship among the three communities won't last long."

It's clear that compared to 'destruction,' 'construction' was more important.

Lin Sizhi had disrupted the cooperation intention between Community 4 and Community 12 but also had to propose a better profit distribution plan.

Lin Sizhi already had a plan, but before he spoke, Cai Zhiyuan cut in.

"Luo Wei, you're an actuary, I believe the plan you propose will be more acceptable to everyone."

Han Mengying showed a slightly surprised expression, but upon hearing the word "actuary," she curiously looked up and down at Luo Wei, saying, "Oh, then what good plan does the actuary lady have?"

Luo Wei seemed surprised that Cai Zhiyuan had suddenly asked her to propose a plan, but since she was placed in this position, there was no need to push away an opportunity directly influencing the game's progress.

After considering for a moment, Luo Wei said, "If we want a plan where all three communities benefit, the principle isn't complex.

"The primary goal should still be to enlarge the pie, but to maintain stable cooperation, each must yield some interests.

"The Wealthy Community possesses comprehensive advantages, so they should give up all four work buttons, with each commoner community occupying two groups.

"Then, we invest mutually within the community, aiming to fully absorb the investment income limit of each round.

"Then the Wealthy Community slightly raises the commoner community's tax rate for redistribution; I can help calculate the specific tax rate.

"This is the most profitable option for everyone."

Han Mengying frowned slightly, "That's definitely not acceptable.

"Investments have a cap, and as your commoner community's wealth grows, investments will become increasingly frequent, squeezing our wealthy conglomerate player's investment space seriously under numerical superiority.

"You could still use certain means to surpass visa time, reclaiming the wealthy conglomerate status.

"I cannot accept the existence of this possibility."

Luo Wei thought for a moment, "Yet, you wealthy conglomerates can adjust the tax rate anytime, harvesting the commoner players' wealth. The initiative is still with you."

Han Mengying shook her head, "Tax collection is very uncontrollable. What if we end up collecting too much or too little?

"Moreover, the management level includes commoner players; taxing will inevitably distribute some to the commoner players."

Luo Wei explained, "You can rest assured about this, as I can help you calculate it; this is all calculable."

Seeing that the exchange was reaching an impasse, Lin Sizhi reminded, "The tax rate issue is sensitive and hard to adjust, given the management level members' ever-changing composition; even if collected, it's hard to accurately distribute to specific players.

"My suggestion is not to consider taxation initially.

"We can completely rely on investments to settle the wealth proportion distribution.

"From now on, none of us can cover our identity cards, meaning we always display our 'wealth' balance.

"The notice board will show the total wealth value in real-time, after simple calculations, can determine the proportion each community accounts for the total.

"We can use cross-community investments to ensure the wealth proportion stays at a fixed value.

"My suggestion is 4:3:3.

"If there emerges a large deviation, for example, if your wealthy conglomerate's total wealth falls below 40%, you can request a wealthier commoner community to invest in you; if your total wealth exceeds 40% by too much, the reverse should apply, investing in the less wealthy commoner community.

"Similarly, the two commoner communities can adjust through cross-community investments based on wealth differences.

"Additionally, without affecting this wealth ratio premise, wealthy conglomerate players can prioritize getting investment returns.

"This advantage is significant enough for you, isn't it?"

Under the premise of capped investment returns, prioritizing getting investment returns means squeezing the investment returns of the other two communities.

Han Mengying pondered, "I accept the other rules, but our proportion is too low.

"My requirement is 60% for us and 20% each for the others."

Luo Wei looked at Lin Sizhi and Han Mengying; clearly, both had intentionally stated a ratio favoring themselves, making it fairly easy to see the final balance point.

"How about compromising with 50% and 25% each?

"Financier players taking half of the money should be enough to ensure a dominant position, making the two commoner communities incapable of posing any threat to you.

"For the commoner community, this proportion is also the baseline; if you still disagree, the only outcome is a lose-lose scenario."

By this point in the discussion, most participants generally agreed on this ratio.

However, Han Mengying did not immediately decide, instead, she briefly consulted with the other players in Community 4.

Shortly after, she returned, "Deal."
