This game features an elaborate and self-contained economic simulation system, aiming to replicate real-world economic dynamics within a virtual setting and establishing a stock market platform on that basis.
Macroeconomic elements include raw materials, products, consumer prices, population levels, and bank loan interest rates. The capacity of the market, the prices of raw materials and products, as well as competitors' strategies significantly affect corporate growth. A company's stock price is influenced not only by its business performance but also by the formation and burst of market bubbles. In the game, you must decide whether to pursue long-term value investing or to cash out quickly before a bubble bursts.
As an ordinary investor in the game, you have a job that just covers your basic living expenses. Daily expenses are inevitable, and budget control is crucial. Increasing consumption levels can reduce daily life consumption (extending your in-game lifespan) and boost your credit score. Your credit score, based on your total assets, enhances your purchasing power, allowing you to buy stocks on credit when your assets are insufficient.
However, prudent position management is essential; debt entails paying bank interest, and a decline in stock prices—or an increase when short selling—can diminish your asset value, potentially leading to a margin call. If you're leveraged too high, you might be forced to sell your stocks, incurring significant financial losses. Therefore, balancing risk and devising careful strategies is key to success in the game.
