Looks like my strategy is working.

I'm selling the things i produce in a farmer's market, and i price it 5 times the wholesale value, so that it doesn't sell too fast. Then i use most of my cash on increasing the size of my plantations, and researching everything i can in the agricultural R&D at Q5. I produce batches of 50k of everything i have researched to fill my store, and it's getting me several millions a day, i think.

Now i'm slowly expanding into processed foods, since it also sells at the farmer's market.

My company's networth is almost $9M right now, and spiking straight up.

Its sound like todays your last day with instant building :)  Enjoy it while it lasts.

Are you buying products on the import market and reselling it on B2B? Why do people buy your product?
Mistakes, unable to notice imports, better to pay 1.5 to 5 times more rather than click additional button? I earned more money this way than on my apples (810k waiting on B2B).

I make 50k apples per hour, it's just that you will never be as profitable with a raw material than you would be with a finished product. See Russia's or an oil arabic state's economy vs. China. I sell my products well on B2B and in stores, while the leftoever apples are exported for a small profit.

Been making hot foods for a bit, staying afloat, but no really noticable profit, due to maitenance costs and expansion.

If anyone needs any hot foods, just message me on the game as "Carcanken2" and you might get a special discount :D

Edit: How do you hire CEO's or other people to your buisiness? I see other people doing it, but I have no idea how.

Agree, plus that's about the LAST thing *I* want to see from this kind of game - author spending valuable development time on useless graphics.

Ball Cancer Inc. here.

Trying NOT to crash the Apples market but I've got a 1000m2 plantation that can crank out a couple million of any fruit in a day or so. Apples are Q15, everything else Q0.

I've also got a 100m2 farmer's market that sells about 15k a day of each of the fruit products so I'm down to buy whatever if you have it for good price/quality.

Message me if you want the hook up on apples or bananas. I'm branching into Apple Cider as well so I need glass bottles if anyone else is producing.

So how's the coal cartel treating you guys? I saw that coal is WAY under $12 so I imagine it got busted?

You're a few days behind if you're asking about the coal cartel.
And you can't really crash the fruit market, since everyone and their plantation starts with research in it.

Yeh, a little late to the the thread :)

By crashing I meant I'm trying not to undercut it down to export price. Left a batch of my apples at $.60 and at every price point above so (if) the price recovers, I'll get some of that. But we're talking pennies here. The real money is in other products and I just need to diversify and use my fruit production to feed low cost processed food products.

In any case, I'm sitting on a ton of apples and bananas. Blueberries up tomorrow.

I managed to push up chemical prices by a fair bit, and I'm finally starting to generate something approaching a profit. In retrospect, I should have kept my lemon farm to complement my petrochemical/energy factories and my oil well.
