God's imitator

Chapter 145 Tripartite Cooperation Strategy
Han Mengying scoffed: "What an idealistic plan!"
"You can indeed prevent your total wealth from reaching 50 by lying down and not cooperating."

"But have you thought about the punishment for losing the game?"

"You can only bring 10% of the revenue back to the community, and if you bring back less than 10000 minutes of visa time, you will be deducted an additional 5 minutes of visa time."

"Mr. Lin, you may be a tycoon and not afraid of being stingy, but are other people not afraid either?"

"And we can use the wealth we earned in the first 10 rounds to leave the country, can you do that?"

Lin Sizhi didn't care about Han Mengying's provocation: "You haven't heard of the 'happy-player avoidance principle,' have you? Obviously, you, as tycoons, are the happy players in this game."

"You should have avoided the possibility of a 'lose-lose' situation in the first place."

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

"If we can maximize our investment returns as soon as possible, our total wealth at the end of the game could reach 160 million or even 180 million. If the tycoon takes half, he can get at least 80."

"The four of them split the profits equally, bringing 50% back to the community, and each person also received nearly 10 visa hours."

"You think we're afraid of having our visas delayed, but aren't you afraid that the 10 you could have easily earned will just slip away like a cooked duck flying away?"

"On this issue, can the four people in your community reach a consensus?"

"If it really comes down to a 'total loss' outcome, do you think the 12th and 17th communities will suffer more, or your 4th community will suffer more?"
"As for leaving the country, it is difficult for you to ensure that all the wealth is distributed equally and that all four of them have more than 10."

"So if you want to leave the country, someone will definitely be abandoned. Who are you planning to abandon?"
"Of course, even if you do leave the country, we will still welcome you."

"Because after you leave the country, you will give up the power of the management office. We eight ordinary players can play the remaining 10 rounds of the game on our own with zero tax rate."

"Because we have a large number of people, we can occupy 8 buttons to maximize our work income without triggering wealth shrinkage, and we can maximize our investment income limit the fastest."

"In the same 10 rounds of the game, the eight of us can reach the total wealth goal of 500,000 without being penalized."

Han Mengying fell silent.

Because she could sense that Fan Zehui and the players of Community 12 had tipped their scales in favor of Lin Sizhi.

The threat of a "lose-lose" situation lies not in specific actions, but in convincing the other party that you are determined to achieve a lose-lose outcome.

Clearly, after Lin Sizhi's remarks, the 12th Community has, to some extent, formed this determination.

Although not entirely resolute, it was enough to make Han Mengying change her strategy.

Han Mengying's attempt to debate the rules of the game with Lin Sizhi was itself a kind of test.

If Lin Sizhi cannot provide a sufficiently convincing reason, and Han Mengying can successfully persuade the 12th Community, then the game will end prematurely, and there will be no more suspense.

But now, Han Mengying's attempt has failed.

Lin Sizhi and the 17th Community are indeed not easy enemies to deal with.

"Okay, I admit you have a point."

"However, you still need to come up with a distribution plan that satisfies all of us, otherwise, this fragile cooperative relationship between the three communities will not last long."

Clearly, construction is more important than destruction.

Lin Sizhi has undermined the cooperation between the 4th and 12th communities, but he must also propose a better plan for the distribution of benefits.

Lin Sizhi certainly already had a plan, but Cai Zhiyuan spoke first before he could.

"Luo Wei, you are an actuary, and I believe your proposed solution will gain more recognition."

Han Mengying showed a slightly surprised expression, but after hearing the words "actuary," she looked Luo Wei up and down with great interest and said, "Oh, so may I ask what good solutions this actuary lady has?"

Luo Wei seemed slightly surprised that Cai Zhiyuan would suddenly ask her to propose a solution.

However, since we're already in this situation, there's no need to refuse opportunities that directly impact the game's progress.

After considering for a moment, Luo Wei said, "If we want to formulate a plan that benefits all three communities, it's not complicated in principle. "The primary goal is still to make the pie bigger, but in order to maintain the stability of the cooperation, each party has to give up some of its interests."

"The conglomerate community has a comprehensive advantage, so it should give up all four sets of work buttons, and the two civilian communities should each take two sets."

"After that, we invested in each other within the community to try to maximize the investment returns in each round."

"Then the tycoon community will slightly increase the tax rate of the common people's community for redistribution. I can help you calculate the specific tax rate."

"This is the most profitable option for everyone."

Han Mengying frowned slightly: "Of course not."

"Investment returns have an upper limit. As the wealth of your ordinary community grows, investment activities will become more and more frequent. With your numerical advantage, this will severely squeeze the investment space of us conglomerate players."

"You still have a chance to overtake the visa processing time through certain means and regain your status as a chaebol."

"I cannot accept the existence of this possibility."

Luo Wei thought for a moment: "But you tycoons can adjust tax rates at any time and reap the wealth of ordinary players. The initiative is still on your side."

Han Mengying shook her head: "Tax collection is very unpredictable. What if we collect too much or too little?"
"Moreover, the management also includes ordinary players, so it's inevitable that some of the tax revenue will be shared with them."

Luo Wei explained, "You can rest assured about that. I can calculate it for you; it's all calculable."

Seeing that the exchange between the two sides had reached a stalemate, Lin Sizhi reminded them:
"The tax rate is a sensitive issue and not easy to adjust because the composition of the management is constantly changing. Even if the tax is collected, it cannot be accurately allocated to specific players."

"My advice is that it's best not to consider taxation in the initial stage."

"We can completely distribute our wealth through investment alone."

"From now on, none of us can hide our identity cards, which means we must always show our 'wealth' balance."

"The total wealth value will be displayed on the notice board in real time, and after a simple calculation, the proportion of the total wealth held by each community can be determined."

"We can ensure that our wealth ratio remains at a constant value by investing across communities."

"My suggestion is 4:3:3."

"If there is a significant deviation, for example, if your tycoon's total wealth is less than 40%, you can ask the wealthier working-class communities to invest in you; if your total wealth exceeds 40% by a large margin, then you should do the opposite and invest in the smaller working-class communities."

"Similarly, our two working-class communities can also adjust their wealth through cross-community investments based on the difference in wealth."

"In addition, without affecting this proportion of wealth, chaebol players can get investment returns first."

"Isn't this advantage big enough for you?"

Given that there is a cap on investment returns, prioritizing investment returns means that investment returns in the other two communities can be reduced.

Han Mengying thought for a moment: "I can accept the other rules, but our ratio is too low."

"My requirements are 60% and two 20%."

Luo Wei glanced at Lin Sizhi and Han Mengying. Clearly, both of them had deliberately chosen a proportion that was obviously in their favor, and the final equilibrium point was not hard to see.

"How about a compromise, 50% or two 25%?"
"The tycoon players taking half the money is enough to secure your dominant position, and neither of the two civilian communities can pose any threat to you."

"For ordinary communities, this ratio is already the bottom line. If you still disagree, then there will only be a lose-lose outcome."

At this point in the discussion, most people basically agreed on this ratio.

However, Han Mengying was unable to make a decision immediately, but instead had a brief discussion with other players in the 4th community.

Shortly after, she returned: "Deal."
