Lin Sizhi continued, "With the change in age structure, the selection rules for the management level will also differ.

For example, in a 'stability period' age structure of 3, 5, 3, 1, regardless of whether the Wealthy Family has money or not, they will inevitably control the management.

And in a 'baby boom' age structure of 5, 3, 1, 3, once you seize the position of the elderly in management, it can become a 'one-man show,' with one person deciding everything.

In the 'aging' stage of 3, 1, 3, 5, it is almost impossible to seize the Management Room, but at the end, there will be a lot of elderly deaths, so the Wealthy Conglomerate must be especially careful to raise the inheritance tax for defense. Of course, if the Wealthy Conglomerate chooses to tear off the facade, it's also the best opportunity.

Based on everyone's current Wealth Value, and the wealth distribution strategies within each community, we can roughly estimate the opponents you'll face and the Wealth Value needed when attempting to seize the management at a specific round.

In most cases, to seize the management from the Wealthy Conglomerate, you must ensure that an elderly commoner's Wealth surpasses that of the Wealthy Conglomerate.

Just like the initial situation in Community 4.

But as long as the Wealthy Conglomerate is vigilant and maintains the absolute advantage of the elderly players, this method is difficult to use again.

Besides, there's another way to seize the Management Room: capturing all three middle-aged players and pushing out the Wealthy Conglomerate's middle-aged players.

In this way, with 3 votes to 2, the Management Room can still be controlled.

Because it's a quite stringent condition to have all three commoner middle-aged players overtake the Wealthy Conglomerate's middle-aged players in Wealth Value, with no room for one less person, so most Wealthy Conglomerate players will be lax in their defenses.

The premise of achieving this is under the 'explosive period' population structure of 1, 3, 5, 3, which is in the 3rd, 4th, or 11th, 12th, or 19th, 20th rounds.

There is actually only one chance in the 11th, 12th rounds.

And based on the age structure of the players in the 3rd, 4th rounds, we can determine the list of middle-aged players in the 11th, 12th rounds.

At that time in our game, the four players meeting the conditions were Aunt Zhou, He Ming, Qin Yao, and Cai Zhiyuan.

The choice was quite clear.

I specifically asked Aunt Zhou and Zhou Rong if they were related to avoid any emotional entanglements leading to unexpected events if Aunt Zhou was too close with others in Community 4. Since they're not that close, we can consider further probing and contact.

Of course, if the initial personnel structure was different, we would consider other strategies.

Assuming at that time the qualified players in Community 12 were Fan Zehui and He Ming, and we distrusted both, we would only have the option to seize the Management Room in other rounds, such as pooling all hoarded vouchers together from the start to forcefully capture the elderly management.

If luck is unfavorable and the various conditions are not met, or if Community 4's attempt to steal Wealthy Conglomerate identity fails...

Then we will certainly also switch to other strategies.

But nonetheless, the hidden expired investment coupons will always grant us sufficient initiative."

Wang Yongxin still found it hard to accept such an outcome, "According to this way of speaking, the strategy of hiding investment coupons was conceived very early, and contacting this Aunt Zhou was initiated very early on.

But what if Luo Wei had not betrayed us?"

Cai Zhiyuan picked up the topic, "Let me explain this part.

Firstly, we indeed had no intention of actively expelling Luo Wei. If Luo Wei hadn't betrayed us, we would not have accepted Aunt Zhou into the group.

Not expelling any player actively is a principle and bottom line of our community, Aunt Zhou, I hope you understand this point."

Zhou Guifen nodded quickly, "Of course."

Cai Zhiyuan continued, "We actually had two different plans:

If Luo Wei did not betray, it would be tough for Community 4 to find a breakthrough in the commoners' community.

Han Mengying looked down on the players in Community 12; it's unlikely she would deliberately recruit them, making it hard to create a prisoner's dilemma in the 10th round, and Community 12 would not experience a collapse-style betrayal.

Of course, from the beginning, we also did not intend to cooperate with Community 4 indefinitely. Regardless of whether they flip, we would use the hoarded investment coupons to seize the Management Room.

It's just that in the absence of betrayal in Community 12, we would not completely eliminate them. The final outcome would be the four of us plus Luo Wei taking the lion's share of the profits, with the other three from Community 12 also receiving some profits.

In non-fallout circumstances, Aunt Zhou could certainly return to Community 12.

But since Luo Wei betrayed us and we have torn façades with Community 12, we could only execute an alternative plan — abandon Luo Wei and bring Aunt Zhou back to Community 17.

We will not actively expel any partner, but we will also never forgive any betrayer.

Regardless of how indispensable her capabilities are."

Fu Chen raised his hand and said, "Let me interject, I've suddenly thought of a new problem.

In fact, there's a more extreme gameplay for the Wealthy Conglomerate. Right from the start, max out the tax rate on all commoners and play on their own.

You could gather money in the 10th round and then run away or choose to stay and play hard, facing Wealth shrinkage. Wouldn't the commoners inevitably be penalized with a deduction of their 50,000-minute visa time?"

Cai Zhiyuan nodded, "Yes, but that's only an extremely theoretical situation, and the probability of such an occurrence is very low.

Because for the Wealthy Conglomerate, playing like that is just not profitable at all.

According to the standard revenue obtained by the Wealthy Conglomerate from Fu Chen's group: even if they do nothing, just securing the Wealthy Conglomerate's position and taking a 40% profit, everyone could bring back 80,000-90,000 minutes of visa time to their community.

If they start without involving the commoners, the profit they can extract is far below that number, making it hard to reach a consensus among the four internal players if any person disagrees.

Playing stubbornly with Wealth shrinkage reduces their profits; and with running away in the 10th round, the commoners could directly control the Management Room and play on their own.

8 commoners would not trigger Wealth shrinkage; the Wealth Value could reach 500,000, and the profit wouldn't be too bad.

Furthermore, if the Wealthy Conglomerate does that, it greatly tarnishes their reputation and makes huge enemies of the two commoners' communities.

What if they encounter those communities in another game later on?

And in the worst-case scenario, if the commoner communities do face such a situation, there's nothing they can do; it's like when you play cards or games and have a begrudging teammate; you can only grin and bear it until the next game comes along.

So generally, it's advisable to save up enough visa time; that way, if this situation occurs, you wouldn't fear the deductions.

For players with abundant visa time, 'not fearing deductions' itself is a psychological advantage, which increases the gaming space under double loss scenarios."

Everyone fell into silence. After reviewing through the three groups, they have more or less understood all the details of the game.

The rest can only be slowly digested on their own.

After a long silence, Wang Yongxin asked, "One last question, were all these strategies your group came up with solely by Lawyer Lin?"

Lin Sizhi admitted frankly, "Strictly speaking, we each came up with half of the strategies.

After the early stage of ousting Luo Wei, we naturally formed a strategy framework through brief discussions, only adding some tweaks and adjustments during the execution process."

Wang Yongxin looked skeptically at Cai Zhiyuan.

Cai Zhiyuan shrugged, "Why do you look at me like that?

Have you forgotten what my day job is?

I'm an algorithm writer, do you seriously think that calculations of this level are beyond me?"

Lin Sizhi observed Wang Yongxin's expression, and it's evident that Wang Yongxin didn't believe much of what they said.

It's likely that Wang Yongxin prefers to believe that it was Lin Sizhi who thought up all of the plans, and Cai Zhiyuan only assisted and did calculations for about 30-40% of the work.

By claiming they each completed half, it was merely Lin Sizhi purposely sharing the credit to elevate Cai Zhiyuan's status in the community.

But in reality, Lin Sizhi was telling the truth; they did indeed complete half each.

Cai Zhiyuan had been consciously pushing Luo Wei away from the beginning and actively discussed strategies with Lin Sizhi.

The idea of hoarding expired investment coupons was Lin Sizhi's, though Lin Sizhi suspected that based on Cai Zhiyuan's abilities showcased in this game, it's not impossible he would have thought of the strategy, merely a matter of time.

Considering Cai Zhiyuan's identity as an algorithm programmer, it's completely normal to have a couple of shining moments in this computation-heavy game.

In any case, Cai Zhiyuan's overall performance in this game surpassed Luo Wei and was by no means inferior to Wang Yongxin.

This further highlighted Wang Yongxin's awkward position in the community.

The outcome of this game mirrored a long-standing representation of Wang Yongxin in Community 17:

Although his ability to break through games is quite strong, consistently earning the most in games related to wealth, the issue is that this isn't enough to establish a significant advantage in the community.

Cao Haichuan and Li Renshu, as a pair, might not match up to Wang Yongxin in solving games, typically unable to find the optimal solution, yet they consistently manage to find the least damaging answer.

They don't earn much in each game, but they thrive in stability, rarely suffering catastrophic losses.

It indicates abundant defense despite insufficient offense.

Even if Lin Sizhi is not on the side of the five-member team, with the capabilities of Cao Haichuan, Li Renshu, and Cai Zhiyuan combined, it would still be enough to suppress Wang Yongxin, making it difficult for him to make a significant mark in the community.

If Wang Yongxin were in another community, he might have become the absolute core already.

But in Community 17, he is in a coincidentally awkward position.

Fu Chen stood up, stretched, "Alright, let's wrap up today's review, everyone's tired, let's go back and rest well!"
