Wade's World Wood! Failing...
•
by Wade Seagrave
Well, my company is starting to drift off... We are now struggling to keep enough money day to day for employees to work. If someone would buy all of my goods, I would still be about $50 behind in what I started with, but at least I could be paying employees.
I'm currently selling wood about $0.30 cheaper than I wish I could, hoping that someone might buy some because I am already out of money.
I am hoping for a few options:
1) Someone might donate a few bucks 😛
2) Someone might buy some food from me (Q4 food $9; Q5 food $16)
3) Someone might buy some wood from us.
4) Some employees would get a higher productivity.
5) The Department of Education (or anyone) could teach me what level of employees I need to hire and how much to pay them.
6) Someone with more idea of what's going on might buy the company for 21 gold (currently on the market)
If my employees would increase productivity (through wellness, trivia, etc.) then I might be able to pull out of this which is what I'm hoping will happen. I really want some people to buy my wood... The more the merrier!
Its seeming like a day to day struggle. Yesterday I even loaned $20 from my employer to keep my business alive... its not looking very good. I never realized how much start up funds I'd need to start up my business.
Well, thanks for reading my incredibly depressing article; see you in the unemployment line!

you aren't going to turn a profit in Q1 wood. At Q2 you can turn a very slight profit if you manage extremely well, or a little more profit if you have export licenses. At Q3 you can start to make some money, and then up from there.
Like, period end of sentence?
well... there are 'times' when you can break even or make a couple cents a unit on Q1 wood, but it isn't normally the case. With export licenses you might, but someone with Q2 or Q3 wood can undercut your price easily. See, a Q1 MANU company doesn't have to buy Q1 wood. They buy the cheapest on the market PER UNIT. So, you sell Q1 wood at 0.89 (which might be a loss), and someone with Q3 wood sells theirs for 2.60. They just undercut your price and are making money doing it. Make sense?
It is important for you to understand that YOU aren't failing, but that Q1 companies in a mature market aren't going to be competitive. You could hire 0 and 1 Skill employees, but they have low health and probably don't know the trivia all yet.
IF you could get skill 0 or 1 employees that had high trivia ability and wellness, you might compete, but since you can't, you have to upgrade.
not only that, people stay at skill 0 or 1 for only a few days
