Capitalism 2 Generation is

Financing and capital markets

To make money, you must first have money (Matthew effect: the poorer the poorer, the richer the richer). So financing and capital markets are the first.

Financing

In foreign entrepreneurship courses, financing must be the first thing to talk about. In China, only those who do investment banking can access financing. This is partly because the foreign capital market is developed and the cost of financing is low. Unlike the domestic conditions and Chinese characteristics of China, the qualification for listing is a scarce resource. It can only be obtained by paying tribute to the Securities Regulatory Commission and provincial review units. Private capital is discriminatory. Partly because Chinese tradition lacks a credit system and a credit culture, there are too many scammers. In a society where the central government still emphasizes relying on the rule of man and illegal rule, a strong contract society cannot be established, and small businesses can only rely on self-accumulation Investment with family and friends.

Financing in the game includes loans and additional stock issues. The upper limit of the loan and the additional issue is determined by the profit of your head office. The specific algorithm formula is unknown. The price of the additional issue is the market price, and the cause of the interest rate fluctuations on the loan is unknown.

At the beginning of the game, the total amount of loans was only a few or a few million yuan (although the basic unit of the game is yuan, there are even points when pricing, but million yuan is a basic unit when you plan, like a mine It takes 8-15 million yuan for a belt-to-ground construction, and a large factory's joint workshop is about 3.5 million yuan.) It can only be used as an emergency when the liquidity is insufficient. The initial investment still depends on the issue of new shares.

Although no new interest is issued, it will dilute your equity. The interest on the loan is almost insignificant compared to the price paid for your company's stock repurchase. Generally speaking, the annual interest rate of a loan is around 10%, which means that the monthly interest rate is about eight thousandths. The monthly interest of 10M loan is only 80k, and the monthly profit of the operating assets that 10M can buy is at least one more than this number. (Of course this cannot happen in the real world. It is easier to do business in the game than in reality. a lot of). So after the initial period, your capital chain has established a foothold, you can use loans to expand, and you are accustomed to the existence of debt, because when your own funds are not large (a dozen M), use a dozen of M loans Going for expansion will help your profits to expand rapidly and the value of your stock to rise. I once borrowed more than 200M of funds to buy 50% of the equity of my opponent. Later, the stock price went up, and I only sold 5% to pay off the loan.

2. Stock price

Because stock prices are mainly dependent on performance, stocks can grow in the long run. Unless the NPC has a bug on AI, it builds a factory but does not produce it, or produces a product without setting up a retail store or downstream factory to absorb the product. I encountered it once, and NPC's company continued to lose money very mentally, and finally closed down. Maybe this happens only when there is an NPC opponent, because the upstream and downstream cooperation between NPCs is very close. Another type of decline in NPC performance is the overall siege of NPCs by players in all industries, but this situation is difficult to happen. Management of dozens of industries is a terrible thing, and mergers and acquisitions are relatively simple.

In Capitalism 2, there are only additional issues, no bonus shares or splits like in Railroad Tycoon 2, so it is more like Allen Buffett. After a few years, the stock price will fly to the sky. My fastest record is 7 yuan in 7 years. To more than 3,000 yuan per share.

Other factors affecting stock prices include:

(1) Dividends. Proper dividends help increase investor confidence and can increase your price-earnings ratio. (2) Investor Relations Department. Spending a little money on this section each month can also help increase the price-earnings ratio. (3) Buying and selling of stocks. Every sale will affect the stock price, regardless of whether the sale is made by an investor or a superior company. There are more than a dozen independent investors in the game. These people can be hired by you as the director of the department. They will also buy their own real estate in the city. To drive up land prices), and to invest in the stock market. When all NPC companies are toppled or merged, these independent investors will start new companies. (4) Random factors. This is a bit like

As mentioned earlier, there are mining, plantation, animal husbandry, manufacturing, retail, real estate, media, as well as financial and transportation industries in this world. The financial industry and the transportation industry are neutral. We don't need to control them. Other industries will be introduced one by one below.
