Name: Darren K. Price
Occupation: businessman
Company name: Jupiter Electrical Solutions
Stores: 2 small stores, 1 in blackout prone area
Inventing skill level: 1
Inventing machinery: average fuel cell/battery machine
Good at inventing: power storage/generation
Research points: 20
Money: $5,600
Debt: $0
Competition: low
Current invention: JES PowerBox
Inventions: none
Company status: solvent, local, low-profile

Okay that makes sense.

Black out prone store: All stock bought
Other store: Half stock bought

I move half of all my stuff to the blackout-prone area (favouring the blackout store, so if I have 5 XLs then I will move 3 to the BPA), however I decide to up my prices in the blackout-prone area.

Since I left AG for a while, here are my manufacturing costs: S=$50 M=$100 L=$150 XL=$200

S-series: $75 each, with a Value Pack of four batteries at only $240
M-series: $150 each, but of course there's the good old $240 Value Pack for two M-series batteries.
L-series: $200 each. The Bulk Package discount gets a price of $360 for two.
XL-series: $250 each, with another package (Emergency Backup deal) giving you a whopping $480 for two and the Industrial-class deal giving you a $25 discount for each cell for purchases of over three XL models.

Those were my prices, copy-pasted from page 5. Now, here are the new prices (for the blackout store):
S-series: $100
M-series: $200
L-series: $300
XL-series: $400
No more deals, because I realise that blackouts are what really create demand.
I still have $5,600, so I decide to chat up John Lazer and offer him a deal: JES creates his Zano charges (which will allow us to make them for cheap because we are better with batteries), and we sell them in both stores, splitting the profits equally. In return, we pool our resources, meaning that we're legally entitled to lend the other up to $10,000 which will be paid back after the recipient makes $50,000.
As for research, I design a pocket-sized (nah, but it fits under the stairs; it's a couple of 50cm spheres with some bells and whistles, fitted into a 1.25 metre alloy cuboid) fusion-fission reactor that can infinitely renew its fuel by throwing its by-products into the other reactor core.
I call it... the JES NucleMax!

i then produce 25 more zanos with 75 charges,and start making the

ZANO PISTOL
Copper barrel,like the rifle
small and hand-held
uses the same kind of charges as the first zano
DOWNSIDE:has less charges than the zano rifle in the gun at one time.

------------------------BUISNESS TERMS-----------------------------------------------

I make a policy that,when somebody buys any model of the zano (or ANY lazer weapon i produce)if they are arrested because of murder/violence,the
police can return the weapon to any of my stores,and i will crush the gun to make more guns from its parts.
