Bought a couple of seats and tyres to bring our stocks of those back up.

[LoSboccacc]

nice - we'll need 84 seat and 300 or so tyres, without taking production into account.

the first self produced car is out, costs 69k and is of Q17.

I'll see how to produce that many tyres from pieces at the fab

(some body sold, motorcycle and suv - I'd tackle body production as one of the last, as the chips and stuff aren't easy)

[Supercharazad]

Eh, I think we're beginning to run a bit low on cash now. We're down to about 3-400k

[LoSboccacc]

my bad, I missed a 0 on engine research costs

Gonna import some wheels to sell on B2B, as it seems B2B's got higher prices.

EDIT:
Bought 100 wheels at about 450 each, selling for 575 each, the lowest person selling on B2B is 800. Let's see what happens here,

[LoSboccacc]

great!

LordSlowpoke,
right now, we're just patching up because we don't have that many employee

it seems that our main source of income will be tyres for the time being: the last batch you can see in the store, is significantly cheaper than imported ones, while easy to produce.

we're building them in batches of ten right now, until we have enough buffer to go for some tick without needing import replenishment - so, at this time, you should help in keeping rubber&steel&power  stocked in tyres proportion, keep a buffe rof a hundred units or so, so you don't need to constantly come back

the challenge is not to make an huge stockpile because we're really short of money 

you should see both store and factories, so you can have a guess, like supercharazad did, on when to import stuff and when to wait for production

[Supercharazad]

I did importing because it's probably quite a good way to make some quick cash, and if we need them later for whatever reason and they haven't sold, then we still have 100 wheels for use

[LordSlowpoke]

Wheels as a main source of income?

I think I have a conflict of interest here - I actually produce wheels. If it weren't got a standing order I have that'll last me three days to make, I'd already be supplying you. Not to mention I'm having them produced from scratch.  $65 cost per unit, baby!

I'll throw some money into the company from my private one so we can be more flexible with spending. I'll expect said money back when we can already afford it.

[Supercharazad]

We sold all three vehicle bodies!
And almost all our wheels!
And the car!

naaah, where the challenge in that would be 

We sold all three vehicle bodies!

and all the factory produced wheels 

[LoSboccacc]

please, no cheating.

we're all owner of multimillion companies here, we can just pour money all over the place as well and call it a day

Not me.

EDIT: Are we meant to be selling cars over B2B?
