This page describes the former business system for Cuba, Moscow, and Bangkok. As of April 23, 2010, the businesses were replaced by properties. Please refer to that article for up to date information.

This article, however, remains here for documentation purposes.

  • Sort of, Kreez. The ROI percentage tells you what percentage of your total investment is returned on a per-day basis (assuming you collect as soon as it becomes available).

    Take the Fighting Fish for example: $2,240/3 hours = $17,920 per day. Total cost to upgrade the Fighting Fish business is $125,200 So the return you get every day divided by the cost gives you the percentage of the investment cost (per day) Sticking with the fighting fish: $17,920 / $125,200 = about 14%

    Which means it'll take about 7 days (100 / 14 = 7.1) to "get your money back" from the investment cost.

    Now... take a look at the Gambling Den. 2% investment returned per day means it'll take 50 days to get your investment back.

    But, to answer the second part of your question, NONE of the businesses in Bangkok will get you even close to the amount of money you're going to need to get through it. You'll have to fight or farm good money jobs for Baht to get through it.

    • yeah... now i need another 13mil baht to end the final episode. forcing me to brawl, attack live target and atleast 10bath gain. not easy (for brawler)

  • So if the ROI is a high percentage, that business will give you the best bang for your buck over time....correct? This would make the fish fights the best investment to gain a lot of Baht.....right?

  • The New Properties are Broken. I've decided to edit out, why, in case it gets changed, as a result of Me, talking about it.

  • Give the wiki ppl a break, this just came out in the last 12 hrs.

    I'm not sure how the current upgrade costs scale with the previous costs (I have a feeling that those who put all their $ into either capacity or production rate got pwnd, but those who spent their money evenly are ok), but the returns are slightly better.

    The old fighting fish maxed out at 2240/3hrs, while it is ~2290/3hrs. The tourist guide scam got upgraded from 5600/3hrs to 5680/3hrs. Admittedly, waiting 48hrs is not quite worth the 1.4% extra $.

    Probably more important is the fact that we can't collect half the funds half way through. It's going to be tough to come back exactly 72 hrs afterwards, and every hr wasted is $1893.... :(

    I also forgot to mention that most of the buildings are cheaper to acquire for the first time. Yaa baa parlor/ammo trading dump are both < 100k for first acquisition, while they used to cost 300k.

  • This needs to be updated. Mine have all been changed to the property style of collection. It is way different, and not a change I am too enthusiastic about. 72h to get the biggest buildings to pay out, OUCH!!

  • This page should be recalculated to change the ROI from a % to the number of ticks required to pay off a full upgrade.

  • Return on Investment

  • what is the ROI??
