Message: <blockquote data-quote="Nightbreeze" data-source="post: 4296798" data-attributes="member: 46755">[sblock=Ja] Hmm...tough stuff. I have to admit that the cost of a 6 month charter of 5 cargos surprised me: with 200.000sp I would be able to permamently buy 4 warships. However, if it appears to me that the captain is independent and over the course of 6 month I could sway him to become part of the company, especially if huge deposits of gold are found and after the show of my magic, I will pay up the money.So, first thing first, I set up the Nascent Company for Development, with 960 ordinary shares of 1000sp each, all of them in my possession. For the release of new shares or in order to buy some of these shares, the people to be contacted are Ederin Scatterlight or Arianna Redsummer.I buy a warship, one minor cargo capable of traversing the ocean for 30.000 (any ship will go, as long as it can arrive to the other shore), and buy the charter for the 5-ship fleet. We are up to 275.000 sp this way.Then, I buy 150 general workers, 100 woman in breeding age, 100 young man/woman around 16 years old, as well as 2carpenters+1skilled(I am pricing him at 4000sp, so the total for the 2+1 is 10000), 2+1 blacksmiths, a herder, a woodcutter, 3 miners and a scribe. This adds up to a 347.000sp. I am also going to recruit the 100 workers that I can manage to recruit, and will give them only food for the voyage. They can bring their families, too. Then I am buying the material required for the construction of 4 medium sized mines for a total of 120.000sp, supplies for 350 people for one year (if they are all poor meals, plus fresh water for the voyage, I would dare say 200.000sp...correct me if wrong). That leaves me on 942.000sp spent, and a dire need for other investors. I hope that with 450 people working from me plus the soldiers, it would form a huge portion of the colony's population.The sending for the Duke of Sunbridge was "Scatterlight here. Colony in D'shai land, have wonderful idea for closed-shares company. Interested to speak? Arianna will rappresent me in the Four Lands".The yes/no answers to questions 7,8,9? Is it meant as "unsure". How could it be? Anyway, I also cast a divination, asking "Who is the responsible for today's ambushes?"As for Arianna: she is my cohort. Bright lady, 29-years old beauty, extremely ambitious. She has a past as a thief. Still undecided on how to build her, but she is sure to have great social modifiers. [/sblock]Hennet, I will join you at the docks to manage the nets. Randal, if you provide me with the money required for those ships, I will buy them for you. Actually, I will buy them for the company, but will give you special shares that give you total control on those assets. Everyone: for whoever is willing to invest in the Nascent Company for Development, I will gladly welcome you. The company will be strictly linked to the colony, and it is meant to become the biggest company operating in the new lands. As soon as we find the real opportunities down there, we will give it more proper organization and will welcome other selected investors. Your contribution needs not to be big, but as you are already investing, you could do it this way, so that the resources are better organized.</blockquote>
