I agree wholeheartedly with the first part of your statement, but not so much with the second.

[doubleppk]

What's wrong with the second part?

Everyone loves sea king meat! This is bound to make money!

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

Sea king meat is notoriously varied in quality; also their appetites are very large. I think the return on investment would be rather diminished by expenses.

[doubleppk]

Huh...

I ... didn't think of that. Well maybe they're only raising babies, so they'll eat less.

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

You also have to factor in the issue of supply and demand. Sea king meat is relatively expensive now because there is rather lower supply and, as you said, quite a high demand.

[doubleppk]

Yeah but this is the FIRST sea king farm of it's kind! So the demand is still going to be high because everyone will have to go through the "Big Monsters Big Money" company!

Success tends to breed imitation. I only hope you can keep up.

[doubleppk]

Well I'm not personally doing it but not too many people are going to start doing it, right? I mean assuming they start with eggs they must have found a nest or something which is risky and most people aren't going to want to do that. Or succeeed. Right?

I know the Marines have a method of herding them; it would be difficult to compete in that instance. And later companies almost always have the advantage of older ones.

But then, I tend to take a very long-term view of such things. If your plan is to keep it short and fast, then I think you will be fine.

[doubleppk]

The marines do? Hm. Yeah that would be... hard competition.

Well... I was... actually trying to plan for the long term.... I mean I was going to pull out once they got going but...

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

You might want to think about it. I'm not saying it will fail, but having a timetable is important. Decide what you consider to be adequate return on investment, calculate potential return on investment, find your happy medium, and then do not get caught up in more. It saves a lot of trouble in the long run.

[doubleppk]

Okay! Thanks! ^_^ So maybe like once I get 150,000,000 berri? I put in 100,000,000.

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

That actually sounds rather modest. You seemed a lot more certain in your entry. Would you like me to go over the numbers for you?

[doubleppk]

Well I've only got like 50,000 left... It's not that I didn't go over the numbers... But I would appreciate some extra confirmation if you don't mind!

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

That, at least, is something I can manage without too much exertion. Send them to me whenever you're ready.

[doubleppk]

Yup. Thanks! ^_^ I sent them in an email now~ Just let me know what you think!

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

Interesting.

[doubleppk]

... In a good way?

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

If I were feeling more up to the task, I'd want to see their facilities for myself.

[doubleppk]

Hm. That would probably be a good idea. But it's not even on the Grand Line so it'd be pretty hard to get to.

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

Well, from the numbers, I think even your relatively modest desired return of a mere 50% might be pushing it. Their overheads are surprisingly high.

[doubleppk]

Huh.

Damn.

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

It is still possible. Provided there aren't any storms in that part of the sea. One really furious squall could wipe out most of the operation.

[doubleppk]

Well it's near the Calm Belt so there shouldn't be any storms.

[chameleongun.livejournal.com]

Or a rogue Sea King.
