Thanks for the advice, Crafty and Blueserpent. So it seems it is possible to get good profits from state corporations, equivalent to that of CEO. I guess i will wait a few months and see if my profits pick up. After all most of my yearly profits is from data when my corp is not fully upgraded(200).
I am working on getting the hang of ASQ, if that is the theory of how to get max quality while paying for the minimum raw material price. Intensive management is not really for me. I guess i am doing okay considering that most newbies since most end up bankrupt. Been playing a month though i played this game before.
40B is quite a lot. Hope you are not referring to those out of reach corps like space, chemical weapons and FMU.
