11 - Chemical Warriors
Music: Let's Twist Again
Gaspar Peixoto takes over the President Post with great expectations. Can he really be the key to resurrect the mega corporation's fortunes?
Loan repayment commences. The banks manage a nervous smile at their returns.
Everything's looking good so far, in fact, good enough that I decide to start a major push in retail.
Abu Dhabi has 1.8 mil population. I add another department store to flood the market. 249 million profit projection bring a smile to my face. Gaspar is doing something right.
We've paid off more than half of our loan already.
Gaspar isn't wasting time, he just jammed the new department stores with our chemical products to maximize our profit on the virgin market. Meanwhile...
Someone is stupid enough to fund Arnold's hobbies.
289 mil profit projection...Looking good...
I can't say I'm surprised by the rise in profits. Our retail sector is really hurting for Paul's awesome leadership. And Gaspar being onboard boosts the sales team back to level 4. Just two levels slightly below Paul's era.
Huh?
Oh, the new number two? Can't say I'm worried about these retail moguls...
More chemical products unleashed to the market.
We'll start refining the formula.
Toothpaste factories are opened, one in each city.
Even the I-Shadow isn't spared the improvements.
Mining capacity is upgraded to cope with the rising chemical demands.
Near end of 1961, looks like there's light at the end of the tunnel. Debts cleared, profit projection at 318 million. I gotta say, it felt good to be right. But sometimes i wonder what would've happened if I did not rely on Mikko in the first place and went straight for Gaspar instead. Ahhhh. Let's review the year ending corporation summary.
Although we lost much of the edge in the gold jewelry, we're making up for the loss with the chemical line. And now for the rest of the major competition....
How does Nicholson do it? She must be heavily focused on basic agriculture products like frozen meat since she only has one factory. 67 million with 30 firms under her command is telling though, she's struggling to cope with the operation costs.
Phat Group is the new Green Stylists. With retail focused operation, they might just be able to keep the costs down and profits up in this cut throat region, as evidenced by his small, yet profitable number of firms.
You know, I'm quite amazed the Shining Stars survived for more than decade. I thought they've closed down long time ago. With no retail presence, they're completely reliant on others buying their manufactured products to earn a living. It's been a wild ride for the SS, but they're making a hard earned buck from timber business. I won't give them much time though...it looks too weak to last.
If you're curious about Paul's firm, the Capital Group, they're just trading stocks. Don't expect any major retail operations. Like I said, Paul is content to just playing stocks.

Music: Hound Dog
Alright, I think I'm done playing nice. These little fishes are starting to annoy me, we need to cut these successful, small firms before they get dangerous. There's no reason why we shouldn't. The lesser competition, the better.
Phat Group's holdings consists of 11 dept. stores and two R&D centers. There should be not much issue in merging their firms together with ours. Let's start the ball rolling...
Gaspar is starting to demand more pay for his success, but ever since he took over, profits are soaring due to increased retail effectiveness. I think we're in for a 500 million breakthrough this year, so I approve of his pay increase.
Since the products launches have been done, I can devote some time with stocks. Phat Group success is pushing their share prices up. I'll just have to suck up the high prices. It'll pay off in the end. I'm sure of it.
Mmmm. This should keep me busy a while. This little toy train requires a new component, Steel.
The R&D is diverted to jeans.
We need to set up a coal and iron mine to supply the steel. Take note that production technology plays 80% part in the final product quality of the toy train. If suppose we can spare the R&D effort on it.
Initial iron and coal mine started.
Looks like things are heating up. Another chemical product line is ready for launch. What next for R&D, hmm.
This is it, gentlemen. We're through the looking glass. All that research is about to pay off.
2.5 years...countdown begins.
Back to the toy train launches, four factories with the same configuration are opened in each city.
Same goes for the shampoo.
Damn, someone beat us to the fragrance products. Who the fuck is Ion Industries?
Oh, Phat Group is moving into manufacturing? Better hurry up with the take-over bid...
Don't hate me for this, you'll thank me later...
Our second steel product is ready as well. We'll launch ours now to beat the Phat Group's.
Our motorization R&D is in full swing. Let's start the roll-out in 3 years!
Identical to the toy train, technology plays an important part in the watch's production.
We set up four factories, one in each city to spread the profits around.
Not liking the rise. It's $51.10 now. and 16.91% is owned by Thunder Corporation. I don't know who these guys are....but...
Eh, another one bites the dust.
Whoa, what the fuck? That did some damage to their stock price.
Wait a sec. Maybe I'm doing it wrong.
Thunder Corp is a shitty corporation with no revenue nor profits. Standing at $5.39 per share, it shouldn't be too expensive to just gobble up this little fella...
Beautiful. Now we're at 44.55% Time to start the merging...but first, let's take care of the two R&D firms from Thunder Corporation.
Ready the revolution.
Phat Group knows the game is up.
The region market sighs in despair as PCC stakes its claims on another company, the third within two years. A merger is only a matter of time, and that leaves only Memory Today as the last major player in the region.
PCC's dominance meant the CEO's holdings broke through the 5 billion value, after dipping to below 3 billion barely a year ago.
It's Christmas time, the Prestigious Codex Corporation finally breaks the 500 mil profit barrier. The world is beginning to take notice, major leaders agree that the PCC is a strategic asset in the region after only 12 years in operation. A minor blip in 1960s did slow down the corporation's growth, but now, the PCC seems unstoppable.
Bringing incline to the region since 1950.

Happy new year...
I shall not falter. This entire region will be ours. None shall stand in our way. Our rise....shall be unsurpassed.
Assuming control.
Serve me, Champion of Prestige. Champion Peixoto, bring forth the blasphemous herd and convert them to our cause.
The acquired technology shall be put to good use. The scent of victory will be bottled and sold to the unwashed masses. I shall bathe in the sweet embrace of currency papers.
Welcome to the grinder...fresh meat.
This burden is only temporary, we will unshackle our true potential by bringing more into the fold.
Ahhahahaaahahah. Fledgling...what do you hope to accomplish? What CAN you accomplish?
I see the usual suspects are on the rise...they shall be dealt with, accordingly.
Impressive, Mark Kewl decides to retail his own shit, and unsurprisingly, makes more money by doing so.
They're still raking in the profit...how? No matter their end will come soon...
The pain will only be passing, we will survive the process...
Ah, more goods to flood the market with.
The unprofitable cotton industry is about to make some dollars back...
Five major factories are erected outside each city limits.
Techpriests have begun research into textile improvements.
We'll settle this debt for the debt god within this year.
Oh, what is this? It seems the newly acquired Phat Group has a major stake in Memory Today. I did not realize this earlier, the Machine God has distracted me as I attempt to refocus my inner channeling thoughts to grasp at the golden throne. Do you know what this means, my followers?
To victory. Assuming control. DEBT FOR THE DEBT GOD!

Music: Exterminatus
We have arrived.
And it is now that we perform our charge.
In fealty of the Prestigious Codex Company, our undying lot, and by the grace of the Golden Throne...
I declare Exterminatus upon the insufferable corporation of Memory Today.
I hereby sign the seizure warrant on their entire corporation.
And consign millions of credits to oblivion.
May our statements account all in balance. The Prestigious protects.
It is human nature to seek culpability in a time of tragedy.
It is a sign of strength to cry out against fate, rather than to bow one's head and succumb.
Inevitably, many shall fault the hands upon the sword which felled Memory Today, the Prestigious Codex.
But the Prestigious merely performs the duty of its office.
To further fear them is redundant. To hate them, is heretical.
Those more sensible will place responsibility with those who forced the hands of the Codex
With some fortune, they may foster this hatred into purpose, and further rule their own fate by coming to the Prestigious' Embrace.
Yet, ultimately, it was I who set this events into motion.

I tried this game.
For some reason, every time an once monopolistic product gets competition, the total demand for this product in a given city shrinks and in the game I was playing(alternate products, ~121% difficulty), I have to shuffle constantly the product types being sold in each city.
I don't really get it. Sales plummet due to this shrinking of the total demand, but the AI refuses to stop competing for a few coins and this fucks up a lot. Originally I was going with specialized stores selling one type of product in very large numbers each, but because of this strange issue, which I think that may be a bug(it makes no sense for the total demand of a product to shrink after it gets multiple companies selling it), it became a disaster.

I believe that is related to the necessity index. People don't buy the same item everyday. Think of it this way, how often do you buy a car compared to bread?
Stock up on those items with high necessity, which relies on volume for profits. While maintain a small counter for those low necessity items that gives bigger profits per sale.
