First things first.

Wolly Mills. I want YOU for the Bynari Retail supplier group!
I propose selling stuff to me en masse, but at a slightly lower cost than what you would normally sell.
Since finished goods can be imported for $200, you could possible export for say $180? Then, I want to buy each product at $160.

Biocassara Foundation - Although I think my warehouse doesn't need a lot of electricity, would you like some kind of contract?

@King - Hire for money + stock options? (actual amount tba)

I import 10 products at 180 each if possible. You know, buying in mass usually makes for a discount? Since 1 family of 5 uses 4 products a month, 10 products is a helluva lot of products :P I buy 100% foodstuffs.
If needed, I upgrade my warehouse/store.
I ask Old Franks sheep farm for a future products option - Sell wool to Wolly Mills at 10/unit, and I will pay $300 for the right to buy that at that price for three months. This is a pretty OK deal.
I want my company's value evaluated! :P Stocks route.


I think I'm going to fail horribly, but meh.

Yeah, your warehouse uses 1 electricity.


Also, the outside world isn't playing fair, so your export price is quite  a lot lower than the import price.

Really? Thats even better for me to coerce all the NPCs into selling stuff for me at very low costs.

I'll edit my proposal.



Also, please inform me of the export price.

Can 100 work, actually? I didn't know the export prices were so unfair D:
Instead, I'll pay you $500 this month.

Also, I think Old Frank's farm will sell you stuff at a cheaper price.

The Biocassara foundation hires an engineer and a electrician for 150$ a month.
Also imports 30 units of Biofuel to power the reactor. Due to this unfortunate cost, DOUBLE costs will be imposed on power.

Double what cost? Double the import cost, I doubt anyone would buy your power in that case( since it's cheaper to import).
