	Several new products being offered Got spare money?

I'd like to announce that I am now selling several new products, none of them bananas. I feel that it's time to expand into other areas. I've set up some new plantations at Ubergorsk. These are not banana plantations. They are plantations for this strange but quite delicious fruit that I call an orange for its color. It has a tangy flavor. Also, I've bought out a major French wine producer, though right now, due to trade issues, I can only sell the wine in France. This will be soon remedied when we conquer them, however! If anyone else has ideas on what I should start selling, please tell me.

This not banana fruit sounds interesting... I think I might try one.
As for your connections with that French wine producer, just make sure you don't tell him about the invasion, otherwise he might tip off the French government!

Don't worry, I didn't tell him anything.

I've decided I need a name for my company, as it is the largest business in Apolytonia. I'll call it Skywalker Plantations, with subsidiaries Skywalker Banana, Del Monte Banana, and Gaul Wine.

How about... 20th Century Skywalker?
No, that's stupid... the name kindof sticks though, don't you think?

Hmm Skywalker, you do relise that in my fruit bowl cult the orange actually the sun god. I just wanted to point that out in case you didn't know. If you did know, would you consider growing mangoes as well?

Right now I'm playing around with this plant the Americans call "wheat". The Americans do some stuff with it to turn it into "bread". This bread is actually quite tasty. I'm thinking of starting wheat plantations.

Skywalker,
I have been working on a new device that is capable of harnessing the power of the wind to turn wheat into bread. I call it the 'Wind Master 5,000', though I think a more modest name like 'windmill' would be more appropriate...
The details are still a little sketchy... I'll send you the plans when they're finished. Then we can build those wind masters / windmills everywhere! Just think of it - all this wind, harnessed into the making of bread.
Who knows what we can accomplish next! Maybe we could harness the power of lightning to make bread into toasts!

That's great 'cause I've got tons of other ideas. For example, I've been working on a device called an ICBM and frankly everyone thinks I'm crazy but I'm sure you won't because unlike the others, you have a vision and a sense of business.
Anyway, the ICBM is not really a farming instrument like the windmill, but rather an instrument of war. It can create devastation of a magnitude never seen before ever since the great Big Yellow Bang when the first mighty bananas were brought to this world.
I won't divulge any more details about this ICBM device of mine in public yet. I'd rather talk to you in person about this mighty invention. We should make an appointment (preferably in your Del Monte plantations since I'll be there next week to test the range of my new prototype "Artillery" device).

Skywalker I need lots of bananas. I intend to capture lots of monkeys so I can sacrifice to the god Coconut in order to get a blessing for the upcoming war. I can promise you 10% of the monkeys I capture willbe given to you as payment.

Ok wise guy, what do you think he's going to do with your monkeys, huh? Sheesh... some people. Besides, both you and I know that skywalker does not follow your crazy made-up fruit bowl gods! He follows The God of Improper Grammar like everyone else does, only noone will ever admit it. You see, that's the beauty of it.

Never trust a religious fanatic I say.

Rendelnep - I'm sorry, but such payment cannot be accepted. I'll give you b1000 if you give me 750 gold pieces and 10% of the monkeys. Trust me, this is a bargain.

Shiber - actually, I follow the Banana, who is, among other things, the God of Proper Grammar (I regularly corrected my English teacher's grammar last year ).

Skywalker Arms? Are you planning on manufacturing supplemental limbs or something?
...because if you are, I have some sketches you might wanna have a glance at... I'll need to study "Robotics" further before I can make a working prototype though (in case you're not familiar with the term it's a first working model... it's some of the new terminology we "Thinkers" or "Scientists" as we prefer to be called have come up with. It's quite simple really: your first oranges will be "prototypes" too).

For the rest of our communications, I suggest we use the homing pigeons I've trained to pass letters between our headquarters, at least until we build my empire-wide improvement that I call "The ApolytonNet". Then we'd be able to communicate almost INSTANTLY!! Imagine the possibilities... (no wait, that slogan is already taken)

Hmmm, if Skywalker's Agricultural operation is going to muscle in on my weapons/industrial operation AND my Ubergorsk market territory perhaps I should look into introducing products based on these new plants I've been setting on: Sugar Cane, Cocoa Plants, and Coffee beans..........

Then maybe you'd be interested in my new invention which I call a "car coffee cup holder". That unless skywalker decides to pay extra for exclusive access to my plans and my workshop, of course (*ahem*, hint hint).

Absolutely, this would go well with the new Coffee product and while we're finalizing the deal fell free to sample our spokesmodel candidates...

Umm, Sorry slip of the tongue, I mean our "products" not the spokesmodel candidates..,

You seem to have many "entrepreneural qualities" perhaps you would be interested in our Executive Program?

Apolytonian Weapon Works is a proprietorship and as our assets appear to exceed yours I find it highly unlikely you could afford to buy it out.

I would be open to market perimeters, say your operations steer clear of manufacturing and I steer clear of food stuffs.

It's a transportation device similar to a chariot only it is not powered by horses. You'll need the coffee cup holder when you're driving in tiles that have no roads, otherwise it would spill all over your pants. It's a good thing I invented it (though not in time to save my best pair, I'm afraid).

Sounds great, offers Shiber huge stack of Banana of Marques, I'll beat any offer Skywalker makes, and what's more I pay in Banana of Marques, simply redeem them at any of my agents for bananas when you need them and you don't have to worry about rotting bananas or those pesky fruit flies!
