[JS]Raw Material Prices
Dr. Straatman
As a company owner I've noticed recently that Malaysia has some very expensive Raw Materials(RM) and I wanted to address how this could affect the rest of the economy.
RM Prices
Stone-0.09 MYR
Titanium-0.15 MYR
Oil-0.19 MYR
Grain-0.25 MYR
Iron-0.47 MYR
Each manufactured product requires RM to be built. The current cost in RM per product is 1 RM per CP. I'm going to break down how much it costs just in RM to make one of each kind of product in Malaysia.

Some of these costs are ridiculous and this is only the cost of making the product in RM, this doesn't include wages and a percentage as profit. If Malaysian businesses were forced to buy RM in Malaysia our economy would have already collapsed. Stone is at a good level and Titanium isn't far off. Oil could definitely be brought down and Grain and Iron need to be brought down as soon as possible.
Malaysia has always had expensive RM, but this is beyond ridiculous. Company's have been forced to go overseas in order to buy RM other than in the construction sector. Otherwise they are just losing large amounts of MYR/Gold. I am currently buying Oil from Indonesian companies myself, which I absolutely do not want to have to do. The prices in Malaysia though have made it to hard to make a profit.
My warning to RM companies, lower your prices or else you will lose your customers to bankruptcy/cheaper prices elsewhere. You will have to lower them eventually in order to sell your stock, lower it now so that Malaysian companies can keep their business local and support the Malaysian economy.

Sorry for the wall of text 😛
First Denied!
I don buy RM local as well, the price is 7 times higher (oil)
and this CP only the RM, we haven include the wage of workers.
I believe local RMs can be the only future; due to the massive amount needed for manufacturing.
Donating all those Q1 RWs is a pain.
I will be lowering my grain export prices to something around .10 MYR to .15 MYR. I believe this should help.
That would be perfect nicholas, .1 to .15 is a good range in my opinion. It might still be more than some other places but its not so high that I'll go elsewhere to buy RM.
All hail the eMalaysian patriot is here 😛
I have a q3 iron company in podolia, ukraine. but now its a q1.
I had to fire all my workers due to 2 reason.
Podolia is under the control of Rep of moldova, with help of romania.
so their income tax is killing my employees. n they dnt want to help the enemies economy also. another reason is because im busy right now, because im going for holidays this summer. therefore i dont have time to maintain my company, also erep v2 is quite buggy right now. im getting headless chicken n captcha with a few clicks. that sux man. anyway, you have my word that if iron prices dont drop down i will sell it to eMY for cheap price(depending on global market price, and how much i pay to my employees), since i was given 70 gold from the admins when they delevel my company, might as well buy a malaysian licence with it.
But i need to wait ukraine to get back podolia before i do that.
N i seriously hope that eMy would have more buying power. because i have a few companies in eMY. n my experience in v1 is that eMY dont buy weapons often. even during wars. also maybe becoz there is too many gun companies at that time.
I didn't get any gold back when my company's were deleveled. Anyone else not get any?
They only delevel raw material companies.
send a ticket to admins. but dont expect them to reply any time soon.
i have send various bug relating tickets to them and none have been given an answer. i guess they are very busy right now.
