Stimulus Package for Kapi....

Post by Guest » 25.06.2009, 08:47

I guess most of us here are reading the newspaper and are aware that most countries around the world are launching stimulus packages to revive their economy.
Why don't we try something like this in Kapi.
What I mean is, Kapilands can buy back some products at fixed rates.
This may revive some interest in products where market is totally down.
For Eg:-
E-Components,TV's,Ice-Creams,Cotton,Textile,Lamb,Jeans etc.....
These sectors look nearly dead.
I don't think raw materials need any stimulus, because there is sufficient demand for them.
Shouldn't we make an effort to revive them?

Please post your comments regarding what you feel on this issue...

Being against stimulus packages I say no. You cannot spend your way out of a hole. ;)

Kapilands already buys products from us via stores. Why should they start buying sub products?

TVs, e-comps, textiles, cotton, leather and many other industries are alive not dead. I know people producing mass amounts of each of those products on both Realms. ;)

Actually, you raise a valid point.
But there is a flaw, there are many small producers involved in making sub-products. These small producers sell their products to larger players who sell in stores.

So spare a thought on those companies...

Where do you look when you see that some industries are dead or dieing?

if it's the public market: a 'stimulus package' where the NPC buys your stuff will not make the market more active.
if anything, it could even make it less active cause selling to npc might be quicker and easier for the player.

I know that some public markets seem dead, but that's mostly because a lot of people are selling those products through contracts instead.

And as long as there's people buying the sub-products through contracts, there's no need to have an NPC buy them as well.


I think no markets really are dead, they're just privatized by contracts.

Dude, check out cotton and textiles for example-its almost murdered industry.
What I am trying to say is, put a buy out price on cotton, so that will boost cotton sales.
Keep doing this till such a time that a player's confdence of making profit in that kind of industry is renewed.
If you have any other ideas,please suggest..

Really don't understand where the cotton and textile markets are dead, I am selling cotton Q43 at 100,00 each and textiles Q40 at 650,00 each, are a high profit markets, making around 300 million day/revenue, and are not my main business (only produce them to have textiles for my cars).

Even then the Leatther is booming so textiles are booming too

my 'other idea' is: it doesn't need a boost or stimulation...

A lot of these markets are not dead, but they're privatized, they're mostly being sold/bought through private contracts and mostly in high qualities as well.

Even if the public market is slow, it doesn't mean the industry itself is slow.

Its not only cotton industry,take a look at gas industry.
Oil Prices are going up at alarming rate.
Margin of Gas Producers decreasing everyday.
In the long term, this industry will lose its strength and become lack-lustre

How would having a NPC buying OIL help the gas market? If anything it would make things worse as anyone wanted quick cash (which is probably most of us) would sell atleast part of their production to the NPC further reducing supply and reducing the margins for Gas producers.

The Gas industries had bigger problems to deal with, for example the gas price is the same in Saudi Arabia as it is in Red (remembering that Yellow can only achieve 60% of the max price Red can get).
