An Unsubstainable Economy ? |

Published in United States of America - Financial analysis - 9 - 23 Jul 17 14:35



    I fear that our low population here in the eUSA may be our downfall. There are other contributing causes but that is the primary problem. With the PTB allowing a black market to flourish and a limited customer base, what is one to do? No matter how many companies you have created they wont produce without workers. In the eUSA you need to pay a high wage to retain good workers and it has reached a point of diminishing returns. Prices are high for raw materials and the higher the quality of the food, houses and weapons you produce the higher your cost for materials.

    You can offset some of your manufacturing problems by buying worker packs and foreign business licenses, but its a losing proposition. Twenty workers at half a gold each or $92 ea. work session roughly. Currency exchanges from foreign sales and work taxes add more to your cost. Even paying $70 per work session you still wont get enough stable workers to meet your daily capacity or even your break even point.

    One way out is to form a syndicate of business owners who buy and sell to each other at fixed discounts. With dependable costs you can sell at a discount and still be profitable.

What say you?

Initial gold investment (usd) is needed to supply your companies for free, it s pretty hard to turn a profit when buying materials. Once you got free materials (from your initial gold investment and trading in energy) you are looking at roughly a year ROI but after that its positive income. Although I am all for forming groups and selling bulk for discounts.

I agree that forming business deals where buying and selling can be done in a bulk, predictable way, is the best way to offset the general unpredictability of the open market. Minimizing your FGI (finished goods inventory) and converting it to capital is best done this way, and IRL many businesses cannot survive against established competitors without creating these types of business arrangements.

Raw material prices are too high in USA. I have to buy overseas, because its big difference.

We could also exchange goods. So much food for an like quantity of grain, ore or building supplies. ParoX has a good idea about Excel. Someone with experience could make up a chart of daily, going rates for goods and materials. Going by that days figures you put up let s say 100 Q5 food at a rate of $.75 ea for an equal amount of something you need. Just for an example.

I am still new so maybe this isn t a worthy idea but the way I see it a lot of products are bought within the trading center. The convenience of finding something right away suits most people if its not that much more expensive than blackmarket, which has a risk and time aspect to it. With that said, the best way to sell in the trading center is to market to many countries to get maximum exposure and a global company, but the investment cost of market licenses make it not worth it. I agree that certain economies are just too cheap to compete with but if those same companies you buy overseas came to USA, I bet you would buy from them debugerXX. We just have to find the countries who have enough population and have a niche need for your product. USA is one where we have too high cost raw materials, so a Chinese company would benefit if they come over and setup shop selling for the same price he can sell for in china but make much more business. I propose we delegate certain people buy certain market licenses and then utilize them to sell on behalf of us. You pay a small % fee to do this, so that all parties win.

I have a license for Russia. Haven t been able to sell even at a discount. I had high hopes that there wouldn t be a repeat of what happened to the other game when East Europeans migrated enmasse to the eUSA and took it over. Now you can t even battle for eUSA or only occasionally. First they boycott then take over. With a black market this may not happen here.
