The competition consisted of three phases: one preparatory fiscal year and two official fiscal years. The preparatory round lasted 15 minutes, while each official round lasted 80 minutes with a 5-minute “break” in between.
During the preparatory round, students were eager and restless, ready to showcase their talents in the virtual business world, aspiring to become the next “Zuckerberg” or “Buffett.”
When the official fiscal years began, funds were reset. Some “companies,” driven by impatience, rushed to purchase large quantities of machinery, even taking out heavy “loans” to seize the market, only to end up insolvent and facing the grim fate of an “economic recession.” Others, however, carefully crafted detailed business plans, engaged in close teamwork, and succeeded. A senior team with prior experience doubled their assets to 20 million, setting a great example. Among the new participants, one team achieved an impressive 12 million in total assets, winning the championship.
