no, nothing else. suggestion accepted, the third store is building. so next upgrades should reduce our capacity of only the 33%

Gotcha, might as well build out the other 3 slots too... Time == Money

With the new jobs system, you have to pay the listing fee and re-hire after 7 days. Sucks.

Wow. My own buisiness empire pales in comparison, or at least it is not that i've stopped logging in and restocking the supermarkets all friggen day.
My industrial buisiness however just spent something like it's entire networth in cash on upgrades, half of it being bank loans.

Just checked our quests screen:
Objective: Obtain $23,437,500.00 in store sales revenue from the previous 7 days.

Progress: Just Completed!

Reward: $2,343,750.00 2,795
Pretty sweet.

Speaking of quests... we have an "order" for 33 cars in 5 days:

===
Objective: Supply a batch of  of quality 5 or above. Supply Quest Items
Progress: 33 more needed.
Reward:  $1,138,500.00  6,678
Time Left: 116:24:01 (Expires on May 6, 2012, 2:29 AM)
===

Not being on the production side I'm not sure if we can do it or not but we only need Q5 or above. The reward will pay us $34500 a car plus give the company a good chunk of fame.

I didn't realise the reward would actually pay for the cars, if that's the case then we'll make about 33k on them since the quest reward works out to almost 80k per car (which is what we're selling them for)
bad maths for the win.
We'll lose 50k each on the cars, not really worth it unless we have alot of cars lieing around that'll take days to sell off.

Ummm, are our production costs that high? or do you mean we'd make 50k more if we sold them at retail or B2B?
Again, not really up on the whole production side so I didn't know if we were at a point where we are making cars on the regular yet.

no our production costs are quite lower when a car gets built end to end.

still, the quests are quite usually done at a loss of money, to gain fame (which is important as well)

our current cars costs so much because there is all that stuff from import mixed in production
