Immerse yourself in the "Golden Era" of the first US billionaires. Start from scratch and become a shadow ruler. Look for profitable companies, negotiate with shareholders to buy out controlling stakes and put your people at the helm. Absorb competitors' companies and dominate the market, making super profits. Be prepared to lobby politicians and laws to expand your influence. Corrupt officials, create barriers and intrigues against enemies. There are whole historical layers in front of you that you can influence. Create the most powerful financial empire. But remember: no one should know who really rules the world.

Establish trusting relationships with the heads of companies and enter into a conspiracy with them, uniting in cartels. Together, you can drop the prices of products on the market and squeeze out competitors, and after establishing a monopoly, raise the price 3 times!
