I tried my best, but in the end my company was losing money, my employees resigned, and I was fired.

Send people on vacation, raise salaries, expand production, build new departments.

You start the game with no production. You need to build the Operations department and expand production atleast once to start making money

It's much better to just not start as CEO tbh.

I've found it is better to make lots of money trading first, then start a company when you're able to fund new departments and expand production personally through the "replenish reserves" option. Operations Dept needs to be built up so that you can expand production more efficiently (note that you can use "expand production" repeatedly without waiting for the results each time, so you can expand pretty quickly if you have the cash). You also need to build HR in order to attract more and better candidates to fill all the new positions as you build up each department. You'll want in excess of 25bn yen of your own funds to develop the company initially.

The up front investment to grow a company quickly is rather high, but since you control the company, your ability to pump the stock through dividend hikes, next gen product development, etc. is basically unlimited. You can become the largest company within 1-2 years and then sell your shares for huge returns and more than recoup your initial investment. Or I suppose you can just reap the profits through dividends.

My sense is that your % returns from just trading generally will exceed returns from founding a new company, however once you reach a certain level, the stock market lacks the volume for you to invest all your cash, so it makes sense to grow the market by founding new companies.

You also need to bring the areas to 100% and reinvest a lot to increase effectiveness and research. Don't be afraid of "high" salaries, they're peanuts for what you get back. As mentioned, you have to send people on vacation and sometimes voluntarily pay a bonus or actively increase salaries. I make about 30 - 50 billion with it and my company is always around 600K - 2 million per share (sometimes higher).
