Hey all,
 
Started with expanding the number of stores i have. Doing very well i think but, i have a few things in tweaking that need help ?
 
I try to get a good supply in my stores at efficient numbers btu the numbers change fast ?
 
Got stores that had one turn about 1000 products sales of bread or milk so i upped my supply than bam next turn it was only 150 ?
 
Can somebody explain how i can get stable sales numbers ? Can't get steady numbers !!!
 
P.S Every store i have i put my products under average price compared to quality ! Salary just above required with ranges of 0.5 extra

Well, let me give you an example for a partnership.
 
One player has a high qualification in mining and high quality raw materials but low qualification in production.
Another player has no mines, but high level in production.
Yet another player has a high level in commerce.
 
They could all team up to form a joint-venture with a value-added chain composed of several players.

Or the browser scripts... rules clearly state that not any are allowed but then again, there are several such scripts now and the administration tolerates all of them - except one to bulk-create subdivisions
And to bulk-manage subdivisions (as they wrote on Vera's forum). That is why i answer for Ixnad, that script for managing shops is illegal
Also, there are some companies on Mary with status "Criminal gang" and president's status "Offender"..

That is why K&K Corp. is always looking for big volumes of retail goods Cheerfully
Producers are welcome! Gift Not precisely
Can help you with no bad stocks of natural resources/raw materials, and middle-level technologies

Canned meat actually requires steal, I don't think you can produce it with aluminum. If you have a small order for steel I can put you in front at one of my factories. Maybe you can also get some steel from VLLords for producers.
 
I wouldn't worry about grain Q2+. Just take the independant supplier and with decent tech you will still be able to produce high quality bread, noodles, and everything else that needs flour...
 
I am only active in food retail, because the market volumes are huge and it's easy to produce. 95% of my electronics production goes elsewhere for example.

casperbons.. i think its not possible to find that much grain in > than 1.0 quality, so most of the farms in the realm use 2.0 quality animals and 1.0 grain.
 
Try to go with ChrisBerlin82's suggestion - use 1.0 grain.  increase meat quality if your qualification by increasing technology level in your farms.
 
Don't upgrade your technology to fast; to sustain a higher technology you will need adequate qualification!

Got a good trick for my grain i mix it in my warehouse, Q3,46 with the independent and now i can handle my demand ;) thanx Chris it isn't bread but Very we!
 
Difficult got my animals from the Mary fund so got Q2 + animals but i can handle till now.
Saw the tech lvl changes when i sold Q8+ electronics now the salary of my store is 250% but still very profitable
 
Biggest mistake is buying a herb plant last turn got a loss of 55m and i only got 5m revenue Eyes in a heap
 
Difficult with overstock got 15 stores so it's difficult handeling my own supply

Casperbons, steel for your canned meat, it's market price ~700-800 (can't say exactly how much, because such quality is not presented on open market).
I'm ready to sell it you for prime cost (current price that you can see), but i will want 2pcs. of canned for each steel pcs., for 1$, directly from your factory/factories
 
About grain, other players were right, and i presented no bad volume of grain 3.57 for fund, so i don't want to supply you with grain. And one other reason: i know what technologies and manager-qualifications usually no-TOP companies have, and what quality of production they can manufacture from this expensive grain, also have little expirience with such "supply-production" from hq materials/resources.

K&K why you wanna hassle small time players ( didnt read this when i got supply ) you sell me 1 steel for 230 and want 2 canned meat back with the price of 300 a piece To you Will choose an other supplier.
 
Chris, You give me the steel for 1 dollar a piece and i give you 2 canned meat back for 1 dollar ? Need 600  Very we!

Uhm, I am inclined to accept your offer, but are you sure you can earn money on this deal? When I give you 1 steel for $1 I loose about $35 but I can sell 2 canned meat at above $500. I assume you will pay at least $10-20 prime cost for one canned meat so how do you profit from this deal?
 
Also pect's deal looks worse than it is. You need to consider that you don't need 1 steel per 1 canned meat, so you will still make decent profits on this deal.
