whoa whoa wait a second
Waiting... waiting... waaaaaaiting... nope, nothing is happening.
care to explain to me how are you going to magically enable that research, if you keep spending everything in factory expansion?
I spent like 1M on factories all combined. It's not like we've got anything else to do if you're the only guy with access to R&Ds and you aren't doing anything with them it (singular) despite being online.

now that we sold something, I can finally afford to unlock seats - it costs 150k, so I need to have that sum up front to start the research - not gonna happen if we have no money

and I'm not the only one with RD - all the store manager plus CEO can R&D

note that the fact we're not researching is mostly because we need to keep some margin - if we don't have money to produce anything, we won't ever make any revenue.

we got plenty to do: even when we had just those two automotive factories, we could build finished products and sell them on b2b and retail, however the factories were left unused most of yesterday, for no reason: the same I see today; we have lot of expansion going on, but very little production.

just drop a line and ask for materials. we're playing the happy friendly company here  :P


you have view over the warehouse and retail because you need to know how much margin we have.

we just got some money from the sales of three suv and a cas - use that to produce some more car and suv and van and truck and something for the b2b - then you can finance your expansion

I'm thinking of making a new company just to have access to high quality products much faster, it'll take at least a week before i can get anywhere near quality 30 anything :/

Hey guys, pastebin or google docs or whatever to let stock management know what stuff needs to be bought. With the money we have right now, I'm not going to buy stuff to make a SUV body if we're going to focus on wheels, etc. And normally I put excess imports on B2B because they eventually sell, but you can probably flip stock faster and at more profit direct through stores.

listen to the CEO  :P


we need to hold back only till the store gets back online, with its income back we can resume research and everything

just try keeping up production for stuff that actually sell on b2b

Right, we have a little bit of money. Try to keep spending low so that we have money to pay the bills at the end of the day.

The Warehouse Sniper proposes the opening of a 2nd Auto Dealership, so that we can still sell stuff while upgrading the other.

Jobs are set up that way to uhm 'promote' cooperation  ;D
That is stupid and unfeasible.
It is a community company, cooperation is where its at.  Where is the fun when we just let like 1/4 of the employees do ALL the 'work'?

that's pretty much on schedule, but we'll open it as the other reach it's size so we can upgrade the second immediately to at least 100mq
