Under the premise that a preliminary cooperation intention has been reached, it is meaningless to fuss over such trivial matters.
Han Mengying was worried that Community 17 might play tricks, but she couldn't figure out any specific possibilities. Since that's the case, as long as the key personnel for this plan are restricted, it can still have some effect.
She certainly knew that Qin Yao was practically Lin Sizhi's puppet and would definitely carry out Community 17's group decisions seriously. But as the core person of this plan, if 'Finance' doesn't have a strong mind and psychological quality, flaws are likely to emerge when executing complex plans.
It's much safer to have Qin Yao act as the Finance than to have Lin Sizhi do it himself.
But since Han Mengying specified Community 17's 'Finance,' she certainly couldn't serve as the Finance of Community 4 herself.
Cai Zhiyuan pointed to the most inconspicuous person in Community 4 so far, a male player who appeared dull and taciturn, Sun De.
"We choose him."
Han Mengying nodded quickly: "Alright, no problem."
Then, she and Cai Zhiyuan both looked towards Community 12.
Fan Zehui stepped aside consciously, clearly understanding that under such circumstances, he would not be chosen.
Cai Zhiyuan glanced over the other three, his expression somewhat hesitant.
Indeed, these three people were all rather weak, making it difficult to pick the weakest.
Han Mengying pointed at Zhou Rong: "Let's choose this little sister."
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head immediately: "No, I choose this elder aunt."
Han Mengying asked: "Is there a difference?"
Cai Zhiyuan looked at her: "If there's no difference, I'll still choose the elder aunt. If it makes a difference to you, then I must choose the elder aunt."
Han Mengying sighed a little helplessly: "Alright, then let's choose Aunt Zhou as the Finance, it really makes no difference."
Zhou Guifen's reaction was similar to Qin Yao's, looking equally confused.
She hadn't expected that, as someone not heavily involved, she would be assigned such an important task.
However, this task wasn't complicated. As Han Mengying said, even someone a bit slow could handle it, so Zhou Guifen agreed to it.
After assigning the 'Finance' for the three communities, everyone temporarily didn't have to worry about any scheming, and could wholeheartedly focus on making money through the game mechanism.
...
Soon, the players of Community 17 also began to reach the investment threshold of 10,000 Wealth Value.
Lin Sizhi exited the Notary Office, putting the newly obtained investment ticket into his pocket.
The investment ticket detailed precise information, including the names of the investor and the investee, the specific round generating investment returns, and the investment plan (i.e., who specifically receives the investment return).
This was clearly to better remind the players.
If left unwritten, when players have a pile of investment tickets, it becomes difficult to remember exactly in which round a particular ticket should be redeemed.
As the game continued, many people's visa durations had surpassed 10,000. The action of going to the Notary Office to exchange for investment tickets became more frequent.
At the start of each round, the three communities had to respectively calculate the proportions of each other's wealth, also considering in-community or inter-community investments. The amount of calculation was not small and quite brain-burning.
Especially when trying to avoid exceeding the 'current round's investment return cap' situation as much as possible.
Once the investment returns approached the cap of 130,000, further exchanging for investment ticket returns at the Notary Office could potentially lead to losses or even be refused.
For example, if the current investment returns had already been exchanged 7 times, totaling 126,000, then only 4,000 could be exchanged the next time, and afterwards, nothing could be redeemed, as the investment ticket would be directly refused.
And if you attempt to exchange in the next round when the investment ticket is already expired, the return would shrink directly to 2,000.
This is a rather painful loss, so everyone would try to avoid such a situation.
If the investment return cap was 120,000, it could be roughly distributed according to a 2:1:1 ratio, saving numerous calculations.
However, since it's 130,000, it can't be evenly split, requiring frequent adjustments based on wealth proportions between communities, further increasing the difficulty.
"Luo Wei, go and help Community 4 with their calculations more," Cai Zhiyuan said to Luo Wei, who had just come out of the Notary Office.
Luo Wei was taken aback: "Hmm? Why?"
Cai Zhiyuan lowered his voice: "We need to have a better grasp of Community 4's wealth situation. If Lawyer Lin and I went, it would seem too deliberate.
"Qin Yao is to serve as 'Finance' and doesn't have time.
"If you go to help, they are likely to accept it."
Luo Wei hesitated: "But what about the calculations for Community 12 and our community?"
Cai Zhiyuan reassured her: "Don't worry, these calculations aren't complex, Lawyer Lin and I can manage them."
Luo Wei glanced over and saw Lin Sizhi explaining to Zhou Guifen at the work button in Community 12.
Zhou Guifen nodded frequently. Whether she actually understood or not was unknown, but she followed Lin Sizhi's instructions entirely.
Clearly, due to Lin Sizhi's extreme intelligence, players from the other communities naturally kept their distance from him, afraid of being deceived.
Only a player like Zhou Guifen could converse with him a bit more.
Luo Wei thought for a moment and nodded: "Alright, I'll head over to Community 4 and take a look.
"Do you need me to undertake some counterintelligence mission or something?"
Cai Zhiyuan shook his head, continuing to lower his voice: "Our community will absolutely not kick anyone out, so we can't use the poaching rule, no need to consider counterintelligence.
"Your main task is to observe the ecology of Community 4, understand these people's character traits and the distribution of speaking rights, which might provide a breakthrough point for subsequent strategies.
"Of course, it's okay if you don't find anything, we can think of other methods."
Luo Wei frowned: "Is it a bit late to just start observing Community 4's players now for a breakthrough point?
"At the current pace, if we all cooperate for optimal efficiency, our total wealth will soon reach 500,000.
"At that time, Community 4 is very likely to change their mind, shouldn't we prepare for it in advance?"
Cai Zhiyuan sighed gently: "There's nothing we can do. Lawyer Lin and I have studied the rules many times, but this game isn't a fair competitive game.
"As commoners, striving to achieve a Nash equilibrium through the deterrence strategy of mutual destruction, taking away a quarter of the profit when leaving, that's already the best result.
"No matter how good a strategy is, without the support of game rules, it can't be executed."
Luo Wei, not reassured, asked: "Can we really be sure to take away a quarter of the profit?"
Cai Zhiyuan nodded: "We should be able to."
Luo Wei wanted to say something more, but in the end, swallowed her words.
"Alright, I will go over to Community 4 when their wealth proportion exceeds 50% next time, ask them for investments while inquiring if they need help with calculations, and observe the three players other than Han Mengying."
