Is it possible to put more money into the corporation?

[zc]

I didn't find the way to invest more money from personal fund.

Buying shares?

I didn't make the corporation public or accept other investment, so there is no share exchange.
I would like to transfer player money into corporation money fund.
I exploited the setTimeout function to compress script waiting time so there is sufficient player money, but corporation fund can not be boosted in this way

Ah, I got what you mean; issue more shares and buy back with player money is similar to put money into corp directly.

Edit: but it seems that not all issued shares can be bought back. The corp system is so complicated.

Ya, tell me about it. I tried it for a while to try and get the hang of it, kinda sort did but maybe not really. I haven't forced myself to give it another go yet.

Even worse, though, people try and give advice on the forums here and use all kinds of jargon that I have no idea what they are talking about. TA? What the hell is that? I'll eventually get all this probably but man, it is certainly not easy. Most complicated thing in the game I think.

Issuing new shares (first it's named "Find investors") is the quick way to instantly raise your funds. But it has 12 hours cooldown, so try to make your stocks as expensive as possible first before doing this, and don't sell your shares right before issuing new (as they will drop in price and you won't get optimal profit).

So first for tclord, TA is a research "Market TA 1 and 2" these provide additonal methods of automatically pricing your goods.

TA1 is borderline useless and it raises the price above market that you could still sell infinate quanity in a single market tic. This will BARELY change the price from just Market price.

TA2 is where the money is. This perfectly prices what you are selling to the highest it can be and still sell everything you produce. In my opinion it is absolutely critical to get as it enables you to easily benefit from the high quality you can easily get from getting 40 or so of each stat upgrade for your employees.

As for Corporate funds the way i view it is 3 phases

Your first 150B

This sets up your primary industry (IMO just do one) expand to all 6 citys buy a warehouse put 6 employees in each and sell what you produce (i just do MAX/MP cause lazy)

I do software so i have a product i make 3 MEH products selling at MAX/MP

Then the Gimmick. If you try to get more money from and IPO or investors (Investors keep the shares forever limiting your late game personal money production so i only do 1 pull (10%)) They decide based on the most recent market tic money generation.

That means if you have 6 warehouses full of a product and sell them all on one tick with MAX/MP you can temporarily inflate your revenue signficantly. I do this once with Investors for 500-1000B dollars which can get lots of upgrades. Doing this again a bit later with better stuff you can get another 2T from your IPO (i just put up 50% of the shares need to have enough shares to earn the money to buy them back). This should be enough money to get yourself to hundres of million per second which starts to rapidly snowball.

Thanks to the suggestions, I finally got some understanding of the correct way to manage the corp. It is investment-targeted; try to pretend that your corp is prominent. I just got 1Q corp fund by issuing new shares.

No idea what you mean.

I mean that the corp system is about "get higher profit so that investment is high and boost profit with investment and loop...". The accumulation over time is not important; the cycle of maximizing profit and getting investment is important.

? It almost seems like you are using your own terminology. I'll try and translate this to more common terminology and you tell me if you think I did so correctly.

I mean that the corp system is about "maximizing profit so that return on investment (ROI) is high and then boosting the profits even higher by acquiring more funding and spending it on improving production efficiency, then repeating this whole process again".  Accumulation of cash over time isn't important.  The rate of accumulation is what is important.

"getting investment" I still don't really understand. You don't get investment, but rather you make an investment in something, unless you are talking from the corp perspective, where they get what investors invest into the corp?

I was not trying to use terminology because I don't know this area. I meant the "find investor" and "issue new shares" operation in the corp system when I said getting investment.

Ok, thanks, that helps. It wasn't clear what you meant so I was just looking for clarification. "Raising capital" would be the term for this then.

if you self fund then you can. don't ever use investors, just do it yourself.
