Era background: 1992 to 1994, a critical period for China's transformation from the old to the new system. There were many loopholes in foreign-related economics, joint venture policies, foreign exchange controls, and local approvals.
Core tone: high IQ business war + transnational shady story + human struggle + iron-blooded survival + strong confrontation and fast pace + tomato fun (reversal, slap in the face, desperate comeback, showdown between good and evil)
Core themes: The cruelty of survival competition | The tear between conscience and survival | High IQ speculation and adventure | System loopholes and the necessity of reform | Transnational money laundering shady stories | Fake joint ventures embezzling state assets
Cool design: desperate situation to make a comeback, high-intelligence layout to crush the opponent, gangsters and gangsters to fight against the strong, from low-level desperado to pride of the times to justice liquidation, transnational game exhilaration
