Uhm. So I bought goods for my stores via import. Noticed that the price for a certain good was way higher than import on B2B and sold imported goods on the B2B market. Now there is an investigation against me?!?! Surely I've done nothing wrong (except exploiting peoples laziness to check the import).
Was this against any rules? o_O How does an investigation start?!

I think people import flip all the time, don't know why you are under investigation. I think it mihgt just be a message saying that you sold an item at an abnormally high price and the game is investigating you for money laundering.

Investigations are just the game flagging you. Ratan will look into it, so don't be too worried.

I need a store manager in my company Echozon enterprises.

it has a 250 m^2 sports store, 220 m^2 toy store, 230 m^2 industrial store.

you would have full control on all things concerning store, from restocking ( main job) to advertising and expanding/building.
I am looking for a long term employee, but I will take anyone who can stay at least 7 days.

Just started up as "Eden Smith" Owner of the Agricultural enterprise "Eden Industries".
For production is it better to do big long batches or small short batches?
If anybodies in the food store business of such I'd be happy to sell to you!

Bigger batches = better due to economy of scale.

Yeah, I tend to focus on batches of about 300K in each of my Sports Watch factories

Just noticed that the Auto Union bought some steel from me (didnt you have your own thread?`Couldnt find it).
I'm willing to sell cheaper to you guys, lets say
(Quality*10)+50$

That's 50 bucks cheaper then I just sold to you.
Current quality is 25 (though 26 is in production and I should have it up to 30 in the next couple of days)

Well I'm still dirt poor so i've gone with the longest batches i can (2 ~10hour batches and one 3 hour).
Going to stop selling raw oranges and move into processed once i can fund a decent food processing factory, The Raw orange market is quite competitive but there seems to be only a few small companies in the processed market.

So, I managed to try expanding my store by 250 m^2, but don't have enough influence, can't cancel, and now have no source of income. fun. Not only that, but it will take two days.

You were silly. 8b
I got one store going to 722m2.

I have one store at 340m.

And then I have 2 stores that I'm growing by 50m2. One store is expanding, and one is increasing sales. These two stores are to improve my 340m2 while the 722 is taking 168 hours to expand.

Convert production for b2b/export, take a loan, reach some quests, get fame, profit!

Also, welfare center  ;D

the issue is, I don't produce anything. This company is solely sales. I guess I'll have to sustain it with my own cash.
