Best industry to utilise cash

Post by Guest » 04.11.2009, 19:04

I am on the verge of getting nearly 8 billion cash...
I wanted to know which would be the best industry to utilise this cash in so that my cash flows remain high...

Currently I operate in power industry, which has a regular cash flow but figure is small. Effectively it reduces my turnover...

Please take into note that I am a normal and I have about 45 buildings.
Out of these 45, I will be selling 5 in the near future as they are sunk investsments...

Appreciate all your suggestions....

i think cars!! i would love for someone to start selling cars making the averae price of cars to go up making it more profitable for me when i start selling them!!

The price of cars is already maxed out on both realms.

Retail industries usually make the most cash. (Joineries with high waredrobe research can make the most with over 80M a day on a maxed Joinery.) Waredrobes, leather jackets, televisions and gas all have great retail value if you can find suppliers.

how do you know the max price? and if they are maxed out that means to me that they seem that they would be the best industry if you are selling for the maximum price the game lets you then you are making the max amount of money.

It is easy to know the max price. (I posted a list on the forums before. Just do a little search for them and see for yourself.)

max price. i am really confused i thought you were talking about the highest price you could sell for in a store :). lol but maybe you are talking about the price you make the most money for or the price in the market that the item will not sell for.
or well maybe i should just ask a question

what is the maximum price definition?

I posted the Price Cap.

Price Cap is the highest price you can charge in the retail stores. (Or the highest price that will be listed on the average stats page depending on how you look at it.) You "can" charge more than the price cap BUT you will recieve a much slower selling time.

Example: The price cap for Pullovers is 600c.

If I buy Q10 Pullovers and sell them for 600c they will sell out in no time. However, if I sell them for 610c there will be a huge time penalty added on. (I sell my Q57 Pullovers for 1500c. However, I can only sell 18,000 per 32767m2 store which can usually sell 150,000 Q10 Pullovers in the same time.)

ohh that clarifies it. i was think max prce was the price that nothing sold. but now i know

I am sad i think that max price is correlated with demand :( how sad. well i guess it not too complex. but i will try to figure the correlation out.

ohh this really sad. gas maxed in france but not in germany in realm 2 lol.

Heh, don`t know iw this goes under this topic, but anyway...

Today I did some calculation, maybe they are wrong, because of some costs missed or whatever, but I think they should be correct.

In very short, I calculated profit how much I get from 5 buildings.
1. In first case they all are power plants.
2. In other case there are 3 power plants, 1 well and 1 mine.

1. I produce only power and sell it in market.
2. I produce power, water and gold. For water use my own produced power, and the same for gold. The rest of raw materials I sell market.

1. Profit of one hour production selling in market is - 10`763
2. Profit of one hour production selling in market is - 8`647

I know that power plants can be expanded and use only one slot and more for mines if I want to go into gold business. But at equal sizes for power plants and mines this will be the same as with default sizes 20m2. Right?

Have not calculated what happens after gold is produced, going further into golden necklaces. Maybe then the huge profit will come :)

Does it mean that raw materials are much more profitable than semi raw materials? I don`t want to think what happens if I need to buy raw materials from market to produce gold, then few days and bankrupt.

producing gold is good only if you produce high Q :)

if you go with raw materials, go with wood because you can produce higher Q wood and sell it for more.

to "farm"
suggestion: before your sell you power plants do research on whatever
you decide to go into.wether it be wardrobes/jackets/cars or ???
the higher the research the cheaper the product you can use to produce a high Q product that makes more money.
if we use wardrobes as an example Q10 research on wardrobes with Q10 steel and Q10 wood would only give you Q 7 wardrobes and you can check the prices of wood and steel and figure out you cost.
But if you have Q66 research on Wardrobes and use Q0 steel plus Q0 wood you end up with Q16 Wardrobes. Lower cost higher quality.
Some quick calculations will give that cost/SP ration that you desire.
The higher Q wardrobes are profitable the lower Q ones are barely profitable. I my stores I sell my wardrobes in 24 hrs at about 3 times cost.In My Textile stores I sell Leather jackets about 18x the cost of the product
