Hello, I own a country as well but I just began dabbling in the CEO side of the game.

I have 21 corporations, many in my home country, but many are losing A LOT of friggin money due to how much they pay the country of origin for 'country resources used'.

I am constantly upgrading with upgrade products and most of the corporations are 150-180 on both effectivity and quality, with many of the product qualities being well above 200.

Anyways I just joined a very large common market in an attempt to cut my supplies cost, but I was hoping some experienced CEOs could give me some pointers on what more I could do? My corporations are producing at 115% but I just dont know what else to do to actually turn a profit, please help.

The corporation is 'Imperium Merchants'

Wait two weeks and the corps will be fine. Upgrades take time to buy. Your selling strategies are tuned too, aren't they?

Seems like you're missing "III" there, Nanaki.
Nanaki was Hojo's thirteenth experiment.

Aye my selling strategies are a little above the quality, or tuned to be.

I can always buy more start up cash. I just figured since i was going to be make 21 corps at once i might as well let them upgrade naturally instead of buying boosters.

I looked at one of your companies (Westmeath Elementary schools) and two things:

Cancel your contracts and set the quality of your supplies to anywhere between 100 and 190. Contracts usually sell their products at a quality above 190. And beyond 190Q, you begin experiencing the law of diminishing returns.

Your selling strategies begins at minus 10% of product quality, not plus 10%. Not sure if it's a typo on your enterprises default settings, or a typo on your post.

When I build an enterprise, I'm constantly filling the queue list. You would do well in building a few dozen more corps. Excluding supply quality, you are on the right track.

Use the boosters to extend the expiration date of your enterprise to the limit. It's a good use for GCs.


What? No comment on my nanaki comment? Why did you choose that nick, redxnanaki?

Ive used it since the game came out buddy hahaha.

Sorry its just been a while since i've gotten a comment about it. Often times XIII is taken so i just use an X.

Will I have supply problems if I look for 100-200 quality supplies? I was just taking these contracts to help my common market.
