Han Mengying was very straightforward: "Actually, it's clear from the rules that the Wealthy Community has an absolute advantage.

"In terms of age composition, no matter how the population structure changes, the Wealthy Community always has one elderly player and one adult player.

"In terms of total wealth, the Wealthy also hold an absolutely advantageous position.

"Therefore, the Wealthy Community can easily ensure that one elderly player and one adult player are in the Management Room, always controlling 3 out of 5 votes.

"Exchanging with the Wealthy is theoretically possible within the rules, but practically it's almost impossible to achieve.

"So, the key to this game lies in 'making a bigger pie.'

"According to the game requirements, we must earn a total of 500,000 minutes of visa time, or it will be a wasted effort.

"Thus, among the three communities, there will inevitably be an unequal distribution of interests.

"If the Wealthy Community wants to monopolize all the benefits, the remaining two commoner communities will unite.

"Therefore, the optimal strategy is: you give up some benefits to us, forming a solid alliance.

"Our two communities can then avoid all penalty rules and fully utilize the benefit cap.

"In this way, no matter how intelligent the players of Community 17 are, they will have no room to maneuver."

Zhou Rong hesitated a bit: "But... Mr. Lin did help us in the 'Matchmaking Game' before. Moreover, with this arrangement, players from Community 17 might be deducted 50,000 minutes of visa time, right?"

Han Mengying smiled: "Don't worry about that. As long as they earn a bit, there won't be any penalties.

"That's quite easy to achieve in this game."

Zhou Rong and Fan Zehui glanced at each other and asked: "But giving them so little, wouldn't it be... not very nice?"

Han Mengying silently sighed: "Silly girl, at this point, are you still thinking of others?

"Guess which community amongst us three is least lacking in visa time?

"Do you think, with Lin Sizhi's mind, he would be a poor person?

"Therefore, it's reasonable for our two communities to take the larger share. Community 17 is so wealthy; it's only right for them to share some, right?"

Fan Zehui was somewhat moved; these words really hit the nail on the head.

If one community has to receive less benefit, it should naturally be the richest one—it's only fair.

Zhou Rong also found it reasonable and didn't raise any more objections.

Among the four players from Community 12, Zhou Guifen was most inclined to cooperate with Community 17, but she was not in the Management Room at the moment.

Fan Zehui pondered for a moment and asked: "Then... how exactly should we proceed? I agree that Community 17 taking the lowest benefit is reasonable, but we should still try to ensure they earn at least 10,000 to exit the game safely."

Han Mengying explained: "It's simple. In the early stages of the game, most players don't have a wealth value of 10,000, not meeting the 'investment' threshold, so 'working' is the only steady way to acquire wealth.

"So, the four sets of buttons are equivalent to four work opportunities, each set of buttons will stably produce 3,000 minutes of visa time for two players.

"According to the rules, each community can occupy a maximum of 2 sets of buttons.

"We take two sets, and you and Community 17 each take one set.

"Or, one of us and one of you can each take two sets."

Zhou Rong was a bit surprised: "Huh, you guys are taking more job opportunities than we are?"

Han Mengying spread her hands: "Isn't that normal! Should the Wealthy compete with commoners for job opportunities? That would be quite unattractive, wouldn't it?

"The Wealthy have three additional ways to ensure their profits:

"First is investment. Currently, among the entire field, only you Mr. Fan initially have 10,000 visa time, which means you can invest and gain profits at least two rounds earlier than others.

"Second is taxation. In the Management Room, the Wealthy Community will definitely have 2 people and can consistently take half of the tax.

"Third is inheritance, which is also a very important rule. In the Management Room, the tax rates for commoners and the Wealthy are separate, meaning you can only levy inheritance tax on commoners.

"In the case of a 0% inheritance tax within the Wealthy Community, wealth will always circulate internally without outflow. However, when commoners die, their wealth is siphoned through inheritance tax.

"With so many extra opportunities to make money, why should you compete with commoners for job opportunities?

"If you give us only one work button, we will be completely unsatisfied, and may even consider uniting with Community 17 to resist.

"If we can't earn 500,000 minutes of visa time, or if 'wealth shrinks' in the last 10 rounds of the game, we'd all have worked in vain."

Fan Zehui nodded: "Hmm, that makes sense too."

Even if Community 4 gets an additional set of buttons, each round only gives them an extra 3,000 minutes of visa time, which is not enough to threaten the Wealthy.

Given that the initial total wealth of the three communities is different, with the Wealthy Community having a total of 18,000 minutes of visa time, while the two commoner communities have only 10,000 minutes each.

More importantly, the Wealthy Community can also gain profits through taxation and investment, imposing additional taxes on commoners when threats are detected.

Han Mengying continued: "For the Wealthy Community, it is necessary to ensure that elderly and adult players enter management to maintain all players' wealth balance above 10,000.

"Because purchasing an investment bond requires a threshold of 10,000.

"When every Wealthy player obtains investment qualifications, they can complete multiple investments with each other, circulating the funds quickly.

"For instance, Fan Zehui, you invest in that Aunt first, then let her obtain the main work benefits.

"Before you die, transfer the remaining 5,000 as an inheritance to Zhou Rong.

"Then Zhou Rong would have 10,000 minutes of visa time when transitioning to elderly, ensuring entry into the Management Room. Meanwhile, the Aunt can reach 10,000 quickly and make two investments.

"Conversely, if you invest in Zhou Rong and leave the inheritance to her as well, in the upcoming game, the remaining 3 players might struggle to gather 10,000, managing only one investment.

"Likewise, while maintaining the management, try to allocate the extra benefits to another player of yours as much as possible.

"When their wealth value reaches the 10,000 investment threshold will directly determine the opening time for an investment opportunity.

"Missing one investment results in missing out on earning 15,000.

"Without serious planning, if you delay the game by two or three rounds, you'll lose considerable profits.

"As the saying goes, starting is the hardest part; there are many tricks on how to distribute early profits to enable all four people to earn investment qualifications as quickly as possible."

Fan Zehui couldn't help but nod, seeing the logic in Han Mengying's words.

Zhou Rong was a bit puzzled: "But why are you helping us study the optimal strategy?"

Han Mengying smiled and explained: "We are in a cooperative relationship now, aren't we?

"Also, our primary goal is to achieve a total wealth of 500,000 minutes, where undoubtedly the Wealthy Community takes the major share.

"If you waste investment opportunities, resulting in us earning less in the end, it wouldn't be worthwhile.

"On the point of 'making a bigger pie,' our interests are completely aligned."

Fan Zehui couldn't think of any issue with this strategy, so he agreed.

"Okay, we'll consider implementing this strategy."
