Dear Dareal Noxim,

The Veolian Commonwealth currently acquires a number of (:rares) from the Praetorian Empire. Our current bookkeeping lists the following deals and treaties:
  • 200 (:rares) per (:turn), in exchange for 26 (:healthcare), 26 (:congoods), 26 (:food) (till (:turn) 150)
  • 200 (:rares) per (:turn), in exchange for earlier deliveries and Genealogical Archives (till (:turn) 141)
  • 220 (:rares) per (:turn), in exchange for 225 (:organics) (indefinitely)
We predict that our demand for (:rares) will grow in the coming turns. Together with the eventual conclusion of two of our contracts representing a volume of another 400 (:rares) per (:turn), we predict a demand in the coming year of at least 1400 (:rares) per (:turn), with further growth over time. Because of this, we are looking for a steady supplier of rare elements at a reasonable price.

We understand the market position of the Praetorian Empire, and do not wish to enter a bidding discussion with you by undervaluating your raw materials. We currently estimate your valuation of your (:rares) at 0.18, which we think is slightly above the price per labour if you were to use the rare elements in a nine-set: 6 (:tax) / (9 product labour + 18 material labour ) * 0.8 tax bracket factor ≈ 0.18 (:tax).

The Veolian Commonwealth is willing to offer 0.18 (:tax) per (:rares) rounded up. As we do not know the exact moments of increase in our demand we would like to use a flexible approach. We will start out at buying 100 (:rares) per (:turn), with the option of increasing this over time. We propose that, instead of putting a limit on the growth per turn, we grow the traded volume in proper consultation.

We understand that you can not deliver these goods for 0.18 (:tax) indefinitely. Because of this, we propose to put a ceiling of 1400 (:rares) on the number of (:rares) we acquire through this treaty, instead of putting a (:turn)-limitation on the treaty. We effectively propose an indefinite treaty with the option of transfer of parts of the traded volume to alternative methods of payment. Due to the volume of the trade, we propose that notification of cancellation is sent at least 26 (:turns) in advance.

Yours sincerely,
Serrah

Dear Serrah,

We believe your price offer is agreeable and think a flexible increase is the best approach. However the Praetorian Empire wishes to put the ceiling of this deal on 1200 (:rares) with a price of 0.18 / (:rares), due to the limited amount of free zones left on Tiamat and the upcoming increase in (:emds) production. If your faction is willing to agree to this ceiling we have a deal.

Greetings,
Dareal Noxim

Dear Dareal Noxim,

We understand the need to increase domestic production of goods.

I am pleased to inform you that the Veolian Commonwealth agrees to your proposed ceiling. Can you start delivery of 125 (:rares) this turn?

Yours sincerely,
Serrah
