Save the eIndian companies! Buy from the Market
•
by ArjaaAine
I would like everyone to first refer to this Article ->
Be Indian Buy Indian
I wrote an article earlier: I am modifying it again and bringing it out talking about Black market and Businesses.
I would request all the citizens to still Buy from the Market. A company can never compete with Black Market Prices, without sacrificing a Big Profit or even going into Losses.
As a dedicated citizen, its all of our Jobs to help the economy flourish.
Many of you are company owners and feel the stress brought on by the BM.
What is Black Market?
When a certain person offers good through donations which are generally cheaper than the Market price. These goods are obtained via donations and hence escape the market system and make the government loose Taxes. We all know how important taxes are for a government to survive.
One example:
AHF/IGB/shail.back has been offering cheaper weapons to the eIndian citizens for the league... whatever his reasons maybe, I respect them.
Another example:
You will see newspaper ads of a certain nasser-gh guy offering weapons slightly cheaper than Market price. Because he is a BM trader, his sales would harm the economy.
But I encourage and request all the citizens to buy from the MarketPlace directly. As the more you buy in BM. The more you will be hurting your fellow eIndian businessmen.
These are people who have worked hard to earn the money and have started companies to make more money and help the eIndian economy.
Not only does BM take precious taxes away from the Government but they are destroying the economic infrastructure of the Economy.
BlackMarket is only for thieves in Real Life. Thieves steal products and sell it cheaper to the public.
Piracy too, is the same thing.
You get cheaper products for which you may have had to pay more. But at the cost of the creators Hardwork being unrewarded.
I am asking everyone to put themselves in our shoes (Company Owners) and see how it is.
I would like all morally upright company owners support me in the endeavour to get eIndia rid of the plague of Black Market.
As an Older Minister of Finance, and a Company Owner.. I urge all the concerned to spend the extra buck, but buy from the companies and not the Black Market.

But can I say something, I have never brought from BM, still there is strong pressure on a common citizen when it comes to spending on his everyday needs. The prices you big company owners make is just not the affordable price of a common citizen.
I think I am gonna write an article on this. I have too much to say.
Would love to hear it out Jay.
I would like to point out though Jay.. most of the weapons company in eIndia are operating on losses.
Moving tickets and gift companies can only make an ounce of profit at current prices.
Some Industries do tend to make a lot of profit. i won't deny.
I myself make a good profit in my Housing company. But then these are the industries which are meant for the rich.
For the new players all the products are almost as cheap as they can be.
costs are high, q1 food is 1 INR ! supposed to be the cheapest item. As You have requested everyone to buy from market, yes we will do anything and everything for india, if it helps it to prosper, but even companies should minimize their margin so its a little cheaper and citizens can afford. I understand costs are high because there is less manpower which is the driving force, there are not enough skilled citizens .. boils down to this - get more people 😃
Arjaa can I ask you why we distinguish "rich" and say poor in eRep even.
Whilst I am not going to go into any debate about who does Black Marketing and why; I would like to add a small note.
A very important reason for not going Black Market i sthat there is the possibility of a citizen getting duped by an unscrupulous seller and you will have no chance to appeal against your lost gold.
I do agree with Arjaa that prices are fairly cheap and I think they are good (which is why i always buy from the market) BUT the salaries are not that great either and for a normal citizen it is very very difficult to graft and save up money.
A normal citizen might take months to have a sum to even think of starting a company and then is told off by the government and private owners that having a company in India is not good as there will be too much competition. This then leaves the citizen with very little choices of what to do ingame...not everyone can spend oddles of time in politics or in diplomacy, this citizen also sees some generals and Field Marshals and with his meagre amount, he sees that its virtually impossible for him to even think of becoming one. END RESULT : complete dissatisfaction which leads to leaving the game.
It is obvious the system we have is not working too well...the smart economic minds MUST come up with something...allow BM and compensate company owners, thus allowing citizens to stay in game. OR increase salaries and think of alternative ways of earning, perhaps by improving exports?
I am not an economist so I close my talk here, but I do urge economists to find a way out of this morass.
voted...
i really feel that taxes are too much of a burden...
decrease it . 😃
I have to agree that the salaries are very low here in India as compared to others. About companies operating at losses ~ A Q1 food company in India can make easily around 1 gold a day IF it sells all it products and operates sensibly. Then why did I not create that company? Simply as there is no demand... it takes a really long time to get the products sold and that might be because of the black market.
So to sum it up ~ People prefer black market because the prices are high, and companies need to keep prices high because of lack of demand.
1 of them is gonna have to take a step ahead, we will see who does that. 😉
Ash, as usual your arguments are sound and carry a lot of weight.
I agree with you.. but we as citizens shouldn't divert to BM if we don't have enough money.
There are many things we are not supposed to do, but we do it anyways because we save money.
All the government can do is encourage people to stop doing it.
Why is BM and piracy illegal in RL? because they are not right.
Is it still rampant? Yes By all means.
What's the solution?
Everyone to work together and think for a better Nation than themselves.
If we guide the new players well, they can save a LOT of money very fast, the game has many resources for that.
I know for a fact.. Zibiah saved up 15g in 45 days of starting the game working at 1.00 INR.
Just because I guided her well.
We as nations seniors should work on guiding our new people towards savings rather than illegal aspects... which are lucrative but unethical 🙂
Akash -> Very well said, I couldn't have put better words on it. 🙂
I would like to add something...
Most Indian regions are medium resource regions. We don't have enough in-house resource production as it would never be able to compete with High resource regions abroad.
Hence, Indian companies are forced to buy raw materials from abroad. Add to it 99% import taxes on Grain and Iron imports... Also, there are neither enough workers nor consumers...
How can a Company owner break even or make any profit when all odds are stacked against him/her? There is already plenty of competition in most sectors. I don't see any way in which the prices could be forced down.
Let the free market work. It is good for India in the long term. No subsidies to consumers, nor to companies... Let the invisible hand work...
Cheers!
Arjaa...actually your comments were very sound as well and gave the opposite perspective. So, the fact is, if both sides are correct, then who is wrong? 🙂
Its time to change the economic system...we need a completely unconventional plan/system and it needs the best economic brains to work it out.
Economy is not one of my strong points... (well not in game at least! ) real life is a completely different ballgame 🙂
ah ha Jack, interesting comment...but the problem is, the gov is involved in a lot of areas AND in a low resource nation like ours, it is vital. The gov intervention however perhaps now needs to be altered to make sure everybody gets a piece of the "cake" (I know Jay definitely wants to have it and eat it too...heh) 😉
Buy from the Indian market 🙂
voted! you are right...
... nethertheless the q1 food prices are many times higher than in other countries so this is really a point I see need for governmental action, this seems to be strange.
The current pay for a 0 skill citizen is 1.50 INR, Current food Price : 1 INR. The new citizen can buy Q1 Food x1 Everyday. Working daily will increase his skill thus making him eligible for a higher salary. So it is not too expensive for new citizens.
The only thing I can say is salaries should be scaled down
hmm... 🙂
The problem in india is everyone seems to be ambitious here ...hehe (joke) To help India, u dont necessarily have to open up new companies in India
If u can break it to sector wise prices, we can have a discussin of sorts 😃
Very fine article and excellent comments!
The Idea is something that I have always stood for, "Be Indian, buy Indian"
I agree to Jackbid.
And Ashw's point: I think we need more organisations like the IBG, to keep the public's fund safe and meaningful! There is no room for everyone to own a company in India. May be the new economy module can address that!!
Guys slow down with your comments... I for one need time to take all this in 🙂... mhmmm i need to take a deep breath🙂...Don't want to miss a word of all this
Piracy? as in sharing? getting and giving for free? I love Gift Economy !
But if you are talking about Free Market/Capitalism, then that's a whole another issue.
Everyone, give priority to Indian goods!
Let's defeat the Capitalist Black Market Traders!
Stop Buying Goods Through Donation!
