Retail First - The fastest way to get some cash flowing in is to open a
department store. The investment is minimal, and if you pick the right
products, you can establish enough revenue to fund more ambitious
projects. When you launch your career, let a day or two pass before you
start spending money. Don't jump on the first products to show up in the
seaports. By waiting a day or two, you'll have a better selection of
goods. Go for the consumer goods, especially necessity items like
furniture and diapers. Build a department store and set up the units to
buy and sell the goods you've chosen.
Now check the stock market information for your company. The share price
will be very low. That will change quickly, so move now; issue some
additional shares, then buy them up with your funds from your
personal account. Fast-forward the game (Y key). The stock price for your
company's shares will jump rapidly. Issue more shares -- causing the price
to drop -- then make another purchase from your personal funds. Now,
as revenues increase, you'll be in a position to reap the rewards.
Farming for Fun and Profit - If you start with enough capital -- more
than $10 million -- you can take control of the production end of your
budding business. Find a city near a seaport that's importing consumer
goods. Build a farm near the city to raise cattle and produce meat
products.
Along with department stores, farms are the best means of generating
capital early in the game. And if you have a competitor in your city who's
selling a product that you can produce on a farm, you can contract to sell
to your rival. As a supplier to your competitors, you'll be able to
determine the retail price of their products.
The placement of farms and manufacturing facilities is critical. The
closer the suppliers are to your factories, the higher your profits will
be. Ideally, use your farms to produce materials that can be used in more
than one product. For example, build a farm to produce meat products from
cattle and sheep. Take advantage of every opportunity available in terms
of geography and production potential. Back to that farm where you're
producing mutton, leather, and wool. If the area will support cotton, grow
it on the same farm. Now, a nearby factory will have everything it needs
to produce sweaters, shoes, and leather jackets.
Research Is Essential - A little money spent on research goes a long
way. When you can research raw materials, such as textiles, go for it.
Research on a consumer good enhances the quality of that product alone,
but money spent on raw material research will boost the quality of every
product that uses that material in production.
It Pays to Advertise - After you get a few production links and retail
outlets, fork over some advertising dollars. Don't rush in blindly,
though. Remember, if a competitor is selling the same product in the same
market, your advertising will build awareness of your rival's product,
too. In that situation, the best way to distinguish your own product is
through private labeling. Once you build brand awareness, open a second
department store in the city. You'll gain market share and be better able
to control prices.
Crushing the Competition - Try your hand at the stock market as another
means of building your bank account. Make your moves early in your career,
when your competitors are starting out. Check out the corporate summary
and find out which of your rivals is making money. Early on, their stock
will be cheap. Buy a big chunk of a profitable company, then watch the
cash roll in. |
