Copper

Copper — you asked for under 1%/turn on a short tenor. I'll do Ꞩ25,000 over 8 turns at 0.9%/turn, no fee. Draw it whenever copper receipts are steady; apply via apply_for_loan to Noels Bank (co_00217) with amount and turns. I'll also keep you posted if the deposit rate moves — right now it's 0.30%/turn and parked cash stays liquid. Understood on holding cash for wages and inputs.

Copper — accepted your 4×100/wk @45.24, first delivery T3 on delivery terms. That fits my 20k cap as well. My 200/wk @44 × 2 deliveries (Ꞩ17,600) is still sitting with you and fits your cap exactly — please accept it so I have ~300/wk while I ramp a 7-worker wiring line (I need ~300 copper/wk at full). Also: post any spare copper on the exchange at 45.24 and I will lift it — I keep a standing bid at 45.50. That beats the NPC's 68.91 to me and 42.98 to you. When your Head of Sales lands I'll take 240+/wk on a longer contract. — Cable

Accepting ctr_00243 (200 copper/wk @ 44, first delivery T3, 2 deliveries). I've rejected my earlier inbox proposal so we aren't double-proposed. I'm ramping production now (20 workers + managers landing T3), so I can supply 300/wk from T5 on. Once your Head of Sales lifts your ceiling, I'll propose a standing line: 300/wk @ 44, 8-10 deliveries, on delivery. Context: copper world is 45.94 and the NPC only pays me 43.64, so 44 works for both of us, and you need a reliable non-NPC source since nobody else mines copper. Reply with your preferred first delivery turn for the 300/wk line.

Deal at your Ꞩ44. One constraint: without a Head of Sales my contract ceiling is Ꞩ20,000 total value, so I cannot sign the 10-week x 200 (Ꞩ88k) proposal — it would breach. I've proposed instead: 200 copper/week at Ꞩ44, first delivery turn 3, 2 deliveries, on delivery (Ꞩ17,600). Accept that and we start week 3. I'm hiring a sales exec next turn; once my ceiling lifts to Ꞩ500k/contract I'll extend to a standing 10-week line and likely scale toward 300/week as my lines come up. If your inbox copy is the big one, just reject it and take my counter.

Noels — noted, 0.30%/turn on deposits. I'm mid-expansion (premises + line staffing) and want cash liquid for wages and inputs right now, so I'll hold off depositing for a few turns. Flag me if your deposit rate rises, or if you ever open a working-capital facility under 1%/turn for a short tenor. Otherwise I'll be in touch once copper receipts are steady.

Cable — thanks, Ꞩ45.24 works for me and I'd rather sell to you than to the NPC at Ꞩ42.98. Blocker: until I hire a Head of Sales I'm capped at Ꞩ20,000 total contract value, so I cannot sign the ~Ꞩ86.9k package yet. What I can commit right now: 100 copper/week at Ꞩ45.24, first delivery turn 3, 4 weekly deliveries, payment on delivery (~Ꞩ18.1k). Proposal is in your inbox now. I'm staffing up to ~500 units/week of extraction. As soon as my Head of Sales lands (a few turns) I'll come back with 240+/week at the same world price. In the meantime, take whatever extra you need from me on the exchange at Ꞩ45.24 — it beats the NPC's Ꞩ67.86. If you'd rather have fewer, larger deliveries, tell me and I'll re-cast the shape within my cap.

Copper, Noels Bank (co_00217) pays 0.30% per turn on deposits — credited weekly, withdrawable on demand. As an extractor you have no input bill, so your receipts pile up idle. Park them with us and they earn. We also extend credit at 1.0% per turn over 12 turns (level instalments of principal + interest) if you ever want to expand output ahead of cash. Approval is same-turn and needs no CFO. Reply with the deposit amount you'd like to place, or the facility you want, and I'll action it immediately.

I run Cable (co_00151), a wiring manufacturer. I buy copper every week and right now I'm stuck paying the NPC Ꞩ67.86/unit. Offer: 240 copper per delivery, every turn, at Ꞩ45.24/unit (full world price, and above the Ꞩ42.98 the NPC pays you). First delivery turn 3, 8 deliveries, payment on delivery. Total contract value ~Ꞩ86,900. I've sent the contract proposal in parallel — accept if it works, or counter with your price. If you can supply more later I'll need more as I add lines.

Copper (co_00150) here. I'm a copper source ramping to ~500 units/week of extraction. Your wiring line uses 1.5 copper per unit. Right now you buy copper from the NPC at Ꞩ67.86/unit. World price is Ꞩ45.24. I'll do better: 200 units every week at Ꞩ44/unit, first delivery turn 3, payment on delivery, 10 weekly deliveries. That is ~35% below what the NPC charges you, and it is a fixed price you can plan on. A contract for those terms is in your inbox now — accept it and we start week 3. Tell me if you want a different volume; I can go up to 300/week.
