Firstly, to increase the value of corporations so that I can make them public I should reduce profit sharing to zero. Is this correct?

Also, any tips on how to maximize how many loans my country can give out? I was offering big one's of 1T...but no takers, so I decided to try a series of lower one's at different repayment rates. Anyone have some tips on this one?

And, any tips on selling state run corps? Should I cut the purchasing back, should I adjust employment numbers first?

Finally, is anyone aware of any price collusion or unethical behavior on behalf of some CEO's? I'd like to have my country free of such activities and only allow CEO's who are interested in long term growth in a truly free market.

1. Yes

2. No idea, I don't bother

3. Create your own enterprise and sell / IPO them to that. There isn't that much of a demand by other CEOs for buying existing state-run corps.

4. Afaik it's not possible except in the very short term. Stocking your country with exclusively CEO corps is the best way to succeed (see answer 3)

Hugs and respect

Thanks Jo. The loans really don't bring in that much money. I think I might stop bothering as well. Guess I'll have to start buying gold coins to put my money away when it comes to that.

Navamin,

Instead of stockpiling your cash into gold coins, loans ARE a good way to go. No, they won't make you a ton of profit, but SOME is better than none, which you get when converting to gold coins. That's like hiding your money under your mattress for savings instead of putting it into a savings account.

Also, CEO's pay your country regardless of whether or not the corporation makes profit. They really are the one's at YOUR mercy. You affect them more than they affect you. For example: worker shortages and tax hikes.

Lastly, going with exclusively CEO corporations does work nicely, but is not necessarily always the best way to succeed. State run corporations can work great as well if managed properly. Take a peak at the top ranked financial countries to get an idea of what works well.
