So this is a fictional business simulator right? So here is my fictional business profile! Haha its better to have fun with it isnt it? 
Here begins the story of Toby Bananastien founder of "Hanunted Monkey Incorporated" established May 6th 2016. His story involves, bravery, cunning, and wit, never seen before performed by a monkey. Gather round and hear of how he went from zoo exhibit, to founder of an emerging business empire... Toby had been a zoo exhibit at Auckland Zoo in New Zealand his entire life. Born in captivity, never saw beyond his own enclosure. Toby in young age was naturally curious and often tried to sneak through the enclosure doors after his zoo keepers had fed him, always to no avail. After many attempts it seemed to him that it there no obvious way to escape. As he grew older he grew more cunning and noticed that the zoo keepers carried with them key cards that opened and closed doors. He knew he had to get access to one of those cards to escape. But how? He knew that he would have to pickpocket one, but also replace their card with a believable replica. Toby diligently set about making the replica after nightfall and while the other monkeys slept to avoid detection. He tore bark from his climbing tree, he shaved down the edges on a sharp rock to make a rectangle shape. He sanded the flat side literally with sand stuck to the backside of a heavy sleeping monkey to make it smooth. The bark was now the right shape and size however it was still brown and needed to be white! Luckily the bat enclosure was next to the monkey enclosure and Toby was able to reach into theirs and gather up some guano that the bats deposited regularly. He smeared this onto the bark like a paint which left it looking surprisingly similar to the zoo keepers key cards. The next part was to switch the two. One of the zoo keepers liked to play with Toby, and during a playful game of tag, Toby adeptly and stealthily switched the two as he tagged the zoo keeper on the hip. What Toby didnt think of in advance however was that the zoo keeper needed the key card to get out! He therefore needed to get another zoo keeper in the enclosure to swipe them both out again. The only way he thought how was that he would have to bite the zoo keeper, just enough so that he would have trouble walking. He would also have to bite the zoo keepers hand that would typically reach for the key card. He hesitated at first because he legitimately felt affection towards the zoo keeper, but eventually he lunged because he knew it was the only way. During the attack another zoo keeper rushed in to help him and assist him out of the enclosure. They swiped him out. When they got out of the enclosure the injured zoo keeper checked to see if he had his key card. The replica looked so authentic that he did not think twice about it. At this Toby's heart swelled with excitement, he had the key card. Toby waited for nightfall for his escape, he crept past the other less intelligent sleeping monkeys and opened the enclosure doors. From there it was a breeze, only a few fences to jump and he was free! After his escape in 2010 he used multiple disguises to evade zoo keepers who were on the lookout for him in the months following. His most favored disguise was a suit and tie he found in a clothing bin. This attire opened up Toby to some unexpected business opportunities. He looked so remarkably like a successful business man that he was offered a job by a complete stranger, ironically, as a banana importer. He achieved great success in his initial years at Banana Bros Incorporated, however his growing addiction for bananas eventually got the better of him. He started eating the inventory, the profits of his division decreased dramatically which led to an internal audit. It revealed his banana eating habits which tipped his employees off that he was indeed a monkey. He was promptly fired and Auckland zoo was contacted. At the prospect of being sent back to the zoo he went straight from the office to the docks and climbed aboard an oil tanker. It was heading back to the middle east to refuel for more deliveries. Toby got off in Kuwait in 2013 and briefly held a job as a groomer/hairdresser which he had some natural experience in. The climate proved too hot however due to his excessive hair. He took a series of camels across the desert through the treacherous war zones of Iraq and Syria with the goal of reaching Europe. It was a bold move and to this day he will not speak of the horrors he witnessed... He reached Turkey eventually in 2015 where he made some business contacts. One of these contacts was an elderly clay mine owner who had driven away all of his friends and family due to alcohol abuse. Toby was the only one who had befriended him and helped him with his addiction in over five years. Toby's aid and affection for the suffering mine owner proved too late however as he died late that year. In a last moment of kindness and friendship, the man on his death bed revealed that he had put Toby in his will, leaving him complete ownership of the clay mine. This gesture reinvigorated Toby's business mind which had so briefly flourished in Auckland New Zealand. As a result he decided to start a new venture specializing in ceramics made from the clay of the mine. His goal is to open stores all over Europe to sell his ceramics. Thus " Haunted Monkey Incorporated" was founded in 2016. He chose that particular name to reference the trials and ordeals that he had faced leading up to its founding. They are etched in his mind in a way that he can never forget... Toby still keeps his identity as a monkey hidden under a suit and tie. Ironically no one has put two and two together that the word "monkey" is in the name of his business, or that his last name is Bananastien... Perhaps he is shrewd enough to know that the best kept secrets are the ones hidden in plain sight.... |
