HillAnt Corp
HillAnt Corp invests in ANY and ALL business oppertunities that give the best return on cash and time investment. A business that gives a high return on little time and little value invested is a good one. If a planting a garden with trees, butterflies, flowers, bunnies, kittens, lambs, fairies, unicorns, rainbows, gnomes, elves, druids, diviners, sorcerers earns good ISK... HillAnt corp will do it!
HillAnt Corp is primarily intended to encourage entrepeneurship. That means that corp members (and freelancers) are encouraged to make the corp a succes through monetary rewards and generous contracts. By venturing to explore innovative and profitable ways to crack profits out of the eve market in good old capitalist fashion. HillAnt Corp differentiates in that all its investments are intended to be involved investments. Ie if a HillAnt corp member and shareholder invest it is likely intended as a move to innovate the business that is invested in.

First half of today i have focussed on exploring the profitability of finding customers for my product base by selling on the open market below market price with marginal profit margins and communicating with the purchasers to see how i can be of service. The products i could sell for quick buck were less reliable today. I didnt feel like doing the old thing by then and then a potential Chief Officer pops up and impresses me a little and i will decide wether he is a candidate for taking over the responsebility for the manufacturing and developing of HillAnt corp product lines.
After that person submitted his application for membership in the corp i came up with the idea described in the HillAnt master riddle. I will invest a lot of effort into that tomorrow.
A portion of tomorrow i will invest into small 2m ISK or alike investments like the one below with different types of agreements.
example of an investment
the above is 15 minutes worth of effort.
I spy with my little eye
I have a vision which will be my next big picture venture.
Ill give you a riddle to help you figure it out. When you figure it out first you will become be offered the position of director of HillAnt corp (5% of profit/w salary), receive 35% of HillAnts character its shares in HillAnt and will then become a significant part of the idea...
Let me make it a agreement with the general public:
- send Hillant corp with 1% (changed from 10% on May 1st) of the net value in HillAnt corps last financial statement and put in a comment with what you think the answer is and i will contact you about your answer.
(I will not evaluate empty answers) - The first to answer correctly becomes director with 5% pay of HillAnt corp profit.
- the next 4 will receive 1% of all HillAnt corp shares provided by my personal character and 1% of all net profit of HillAnt corp.
- If you want me to post real hints give my personal character a 20% of HillAnt corp its net worth. (changed from 50% to 20% on April 27th 09)
- The benefits are offered for as long as some of them are unclaimed or until the answer becomes known to me through a way that did not involve point 2 of this agreement.
Only those who express their immagination, respect and wisdom can do it.
HillAnt Master Riddle
(hint word: reverse)
The third shape, Three points make the three geometric directions of forward, back, left, right, up and down. Three times makes the charm.
repetition is a killer, that is why the the second second remains the most important. to be something that you bring forth from within which cannot be that which already has been brought to without.
First create, thats Common sense. Common sense is not so common. How many times does anyone do what is common sense in the stuff of their life?
3... 2... 1... this sentence boils down to nothing

New shares have been issued. The CEO salary and dividend are mostly cosmetic, only the new shareholders dividend has left a record of 4.5m. I reinvest my dividends and will move 290 shares to my personal character to reflect this time more officially becaise i have a shareholder now. By popular vote the issuing of 560 new shares will officiallize it. 190 Nif, 290 to me and the rest stays in the corp and is not counted in my accounting.
I invested most of the 40m profit mentioned below on a slightly product with potential for massive growth. Altough its manufacture gives me logistic trouble. I quess my new found newbie recruiting skills will come in handy to find some haulers.
Today i also invested a lot of time in one of the new players. Someone who came fresh off... i dont know. Barely a day old into the game. Spent atleast half the day explaining the game to him in terms of manufacturing, return on investment and all sorts of stuff... invested 1.2 mil in cash. Any other investment will require some proof in the pudding so to speak. The 1st new player in the corp logged in a little bit. using surplus BPCs that i wouldnt know how to use. I rented an office at 3m / month. I started to make a product that gives negligable markup on the open market and i will use the data that the transactions provide to open communication channels with potential clients and contacts that will pay a markup not found in the open market for delivery services. In this same manner did i get my contact with the 60m profit deal that basicly put Hillant corp net value 200% up in one deal.
The first step as a new player and prospective HillAnt corp member is to make your way to the corporations HQ and fill in an application.
If you have no familiarity with navigation and have trouble with jumping more then 2 jumps in less then 80 seconds in your newbie frigate then read this.
Where ever you are get out into space preferably in your starter frigate or preferred ship of choice. Go to the top left of the screen scroll down to people & places click it and in the scroll down box next to the search fill in box look up solar system. Then fill in ohmahailen in the destination. Click search. Find ohmahailen in the now apparant list and right click it then click set destination.
close the people & places window and go to the overview screen to your top right (expand it if it is not) and you will see a list of stuff. probably stations, stargates and player ships. At the left of the list are the icons. Find the listing of the stargate with a yellow icon. Right click it and click jump to within 0m. Wait until your ship warps over. Then right click it again and click jump. Then repeat and repeat until you are in Ohmahailen.
In Ohamhailen right click in empty space and go to the station menu. Look up ohmahailen V - Moon 6 - . Jump to 0m and dock. To the bottom right are corporation details. Click the headquarter button and look up HillAnt corp in the long long list and select it and find the apply / join button. After that the CEO or a recruitment officer must accept the application.
one invester put in 15m
i finalized a contract, 20m investment from me 75m return in one day.
Yesterday i invited a 7 day old character who turns out to be a miner with industrial skills. Hurray.
Ill be using my 4 factory slots to produce product worth 7m profit. Otherwise i am coming up with new business oppertunities. Speaking of which, i need a slick presentation form to put them in with bells, whistles, birds, trees, dwarfs, fairies, unicorns, rainbows...
woke up to a overnight purchase of 12 million of my product. I contacted one of the purchasers and i will suply my product at their next event for about 25m investment, 50m profit. The large Net Value of the HillAnt corp is because the factories will finish producing a net value of product (worth at least 60m) while i sleep.
One invester contacted me for an 15m investment but i delayed further communications
because i need my sleep. Give me dreamzzz... yummy
