BTW, are there any industries that you would recommend that I get into. I'm looking to close one of my corporations.

Services is always a good industry. I'm experimenting now with a quality upgrades company, planning on selling them to all my companies and then being able to sell my products at a high mark-up. It turns out that massive mark-ups don't work, despite the fact that there is a massive shortage of the product.
Anyway, 25000 units are available for you, sell it to your country?I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

What's wrong with weapon industries? All those I built are now closed
I will never understand why some people on Apolyton find you so clever. You're predictable, mundane, and a google-whore and the most observant of us all know this. Your battles of "wits" rely on obscurity and whenever you fail to find something sufficiently obscure, like this, you just act like a 5 year old. Congratulations, molly.

Weapons industries are over-produced, and don't make money unless quality is very high.

Hmm, I've just bought a quality upgrades company to produce upgrades for my other companies. I was thinking it would be cheaper than buying them on the market. However, a calculation based on the cost of materials and staff means that it costs me about 9B $E to run the factory for a year producing 78 quality upgrades. Or 3.5B $E worth.
Hopefully it won't be the death of me. Regardless of the price, I will be upgrading my other companies, increasing the price of their products and getting more income that way. Then upgrading the quality upgrade company with its own stock. Finally, I might just be able to sell these things for more than they cost to produce.
Oh well, worth a try anyway.
In related news, I have bought plenty of products for my country's consumption, the only one I am having trouble getting is construction. Another factory is being built to help with that, and to make me more money while its at it. My finances suck currently as I haven't been able to move stock at my massively marked-up prices, but I've now put the mark-up to just under the quality level, and seem to be making a profit again. Next month should tell just how accurate that statement is.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment

Well, it turns out that a quality upgrades company is akin to shooting yourself in the head. With a rocket launcher.
After a month of expensive operation, my factory had consumed 800M $E in materials and staff wages. It produced 6 quality upgrades which I then tried to sell to my own companies. Nope, can't do. I then ordered some upgrades in other companies of mine, and again tried selling to my own companies (now that they had an order for the product). Again, no. So I put my quality upgrades on the market at 1% above cost price. They sold, bringing in a massive 150M $E.
Total profit for 1 month: -650M $E. Even at 400% of market price, this would still cost me more than it made, so that company is now non-existant.
I have replaced it with an order for a boats company and an electronic components company.

When you have less than 10B in cash, request a new loan of 50B at an interest rate of 4%. When this arrives, use it to clear your higher-interest debts. This will save you loads of money.Comment

The bank is NOT going to give me loans under 15%

That's because when you offer a loan, you don't get to choose the borrower nor the terms of the loan (interest rate and time to repay). Your money just gets thrown into the market; whoever wants it gets it. I wish it was possible to loan directly to countries and corporations. Would make international relations much more interesting."People sit in chairs!" - Bobby BaccalieriComment

Interesting. I'm attempting that now, but so far no-one has offered me a loan at 4% interest.
Thankfully, I got my 40B $E from signing up myself and someone else, so thats put me in a safer position.
I have experimented with contracts, and now my brother and my economy is tightly coupled. Which is a problem as the contracts were made when the cost price of goods were low, and they have since skyrocketed. Oh well, only 90 months left of the contracts.
One of my services companies has reached 50B+ $E value which is good. It is selling mostly to market, and I have been increasing its quality (and price) continuously.I'm building a wagon! On some other part of the internets, obviously (but not that other site).Comment
