During the very early stages of building my company, I invested a significant part of my available capital in industry. As this did not amount to much, I would buy enterprises put on sale; this brought me to producing my products in Central Russia, North/West/East/South Kazakhstan and Northern China.
I am setting up stores in Northern China and my initial goal was to make a business that self-produced its products. As my factories are very distant, shipping costs and taxes are considerable (check out below a summary of my producing units).
CENTRAL RUSSIA
3 Mills (lvl 5)
NORTH KAZ
Clothing Factory (lvl 4)
Weaving Mill (lvl 1)
EAST KAZ
Butter Factory (lvl 2) <---- upgrading to lvl 5
SOUTH KAZ
Sheep Farm (lvl 2)
WEST KAZ
2 Clothing Factory (lvl 1)
Shoe Factory (lvl 5) <---- 1200 workers because it was recently built
NORTHERN CHINA
Clothing Factory (lvl 4)
Bakery (lvl 4)
Instant food (lvl 4)
Sausage Factory (lvl 1) <----- Upgrading to lvl 5
Yoghurt [Dairy?] Factory (lvl 4)
>lvl 5 National Clothes & Knitwear factories in Northern China being built
*Please note that I have full staffing in all my factories, except the farm (1/3 of workers because of qualification)
Should I continue investing heavily in new factories, or should I use my limited capital to open new stores? Do you have any suggestions?
Please also consider a future scenario!
Thanks !
