As part of the game one can be what he/she wants to be in ePhil. Being a businessman here is simpler compared to real so. However there are still risk in entering business that's why I'm making this investing guide made specially for those who dreams of becoming a tycoon one day.
WHEN IS THE BEST TIME TO INVEST?
Normally I would say "The time to invest is NOW" but in ePhil it is wiser to invest later on the game around level 7. Why? First you'll have a 5 gold bonus and by that time you've worked your way into the basics of the game.
What you need to do while waiting for level 7?
1) Explore other market opportunities. This includes, but not limited to; Monetary Market, Raw material trading and/or Stocks investing. Do this while saving money.
Note: You can just study them you don't have to gamble entering these industries if you're unsure of how you can earn more.
2) Consider other eCareer paths. You may consider working as a government official or be a top military official. You'll never know where you'll be better off until you try them all.
3) Missions. Try to do all of the missions to gain more capital for your future company. You may be able to have more than enough gold before starting.
4) Study company system. Get familiar on what you're getting yourself into.
STARTING THE COMPANY
The next question is "What kind of company and Where s
hould I start it?"
Selecting where and what industry is essential. The place where you make your company completely affect its "EFFICIENCY". This means the difference in number of items produced using the same amount of capital. This a feature of the game called HIGH RESOURCE area. A Company making a product which are/ have raw materials in High resources gains productivity bonus. Refer to Productivity Formula
for more details.
If you're Planning on staying in PH you might want to consider investing in Food and grain products since it's our native High Resource product.
You can see also check out the List of High Resources Region .
Next questions is "What type of company should I make?"
There are two main types of companies RAW materials and FINISHED Product
Raw Materials
Advatage: No raw products needed. Low Capital to start. Better choice for new entrepreneurs. Lower-No Risk
Disadvantages: Lower profit, longer time to get back initial investment. Static product.
Finished Products
Advantage: Bigger profits=Faster in return of investment. More versatile, you can upgrade quality and improve product prices more.
Disadvatage: Needs constant refilling of Raw products. Larger Capital needed to make and maintain. More risky for beginners. Profit depends on prices of Raw materials.
Another type of company but I'm not going into it since it's more advance is Stock Companies. It requires a lot more EXPERIENCE, CAPITAL, RISK and TIME to manage.
Having these things decided, CONGRATULATIONS!!! you can now start your company.
Newbie tips:
> Consider everything I've said before doing these. You can start a company without spending that much of money. How? BUY COMPANIES FOR SALE. From time to time they sell companies from high resource regions that fits the products. Grab the chance to own them.
> Buy in Bulk. try striking a deal with a supplier of Raw materials to get your Raw at a much lower price than retail.
> Work in your company. Lower your salary to 1 and work there permanently.
>Ideally start with 2-3 employees. I would suggest having employees with skill level 4-5. For starters they have good salary range that will give you more profit. Offer the best salary in the market so it will be easier to attract employees. but don't overdo it. keep yourself in a budget.
>Don't Limit your market in PH. You can remotely sell your products in other markets. You'll have an import tax for some of them so take this in consideration.

About the game:
USA as a world power? In E-Sim it is possible!
In E-Sim we have a huge, living world, which is a mirror copy of the Earth. Well, maybe not completely mirrored, because the balance of power in this virtual world looks a bit different than in real life. In E-Sim, USA does not have to be a world superpower, It can be efficiently managed as a much smaller country that has entrepreneurial citizens that support it's foundation. Everything depends on the players themselves and how they decide to shape the political map of the game.
Work for the good of your country and see it rise to an empire.
Activities in this game are divided into several modules. First is the economy as a citizen in a country of your choice you must work to earn money, which you will get to spend for example, on food or purchase of weapons which are critical for your progress as a fighter. You will work in either private companies which are owned by players or government companies which are owned by the state. After progressing in the game you will finally get the opportunity to set up your own business and hire other players. If it prospers, we can even change it into a joint-stock company and enter the stock market and get even more money in this way.
In E-Sim, international wars are nothing out of the ordinary.
Become an influential politician.
The second module is a politics. Just like in real life politics in E-Sim are an extremely powerful tool that can be used for your own purposes. From time to time there are elections in the game in which you will not only vote, but also have the ability to run for the head of the party you're in. You can also apply for congress, where once elected you will be given the right to vote on laws proposed by your fellow congress members or your president and propose laws yourself. Voting on laws is important for your country as it can shape the lives of those around you. You can also try to become the head of a given party, and even take part in presidential elections and decide on the shape of the foreign policy of a given state (for example, who to declare war on). Career in politics is obviously not easy and in order to succeed in it, you have to have a good plan and compete for the votes of voters.
You can go bankrupt or become a rich man while playing the stock market.
The international war.
The last and probably the most important module is military. In E-Sim, countries are constantly fighting each other for control over territories which in return grant them access to more valuable raw materials. For this purpose, they form alliances, they fight international wars, but they also have to deal with, for example, uprisings in conquered countries or civil wars, which may explode on their territory. You can also take part in these clashes, although you are also given the opportunity to lead a life as a pacifist who focuses on other activities in the game (for example, running a successful newspaper or selling products).
At the auction you can sell or buy your dream inventory.
E-Sim is a unique browser game. It's creators ensured realistic representation of the mechanisms present in the real world and gave all power to the players who shape the image of the virtual Earth according to their own. So come and join them and help your country achieve its full potential.
Invest, produce and sell - be an entrepreneur in E-Sim.
