Welcome to bankruptcy simulator!

in order to succeed, you will need a few things:

Blind ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ luck!

> If you ever get a deal from a CEO to take his ♥♥♥♥♥♥ son, take the money and say a prayer.

> If the cartel comes knocking for $1600 a year on a $50 item, take the deal. Say a prayer for extra luck!

> It's sometimes smart to put all your scientists into one tree and hail marry the three - four star drugs. If this doesn't work, then say a prayer.

Animal Rights Lawyers.

> For the first part of the game, get specialized lawyers in each category. When your unlawful termination and public manipulation lawyers get you around 100 points, fire their asses and get specialists for animal rights. If you can get them severance packages (unlocked by a marketer perk), then this helps. (make sure you got those sexy sexy upgraded two - three star lawyers or else you just won't make it).

Make good drugs with good people.

> In case you didn't know, it's important to upgrade your people, which you can do in the advertiser tab or whatever it's called. This is so vital I cannot stress it enough. If you do this, make sure you do it for your scientists (at the very least) and start pumping ♥♥♥♥. Second, do it for your lawyers.

> The advertisers DO NOT need to be upgraded. Instead, you should get at least 1 - 2 individuals which cut the costs of campaigns, then you're golden. Use those campaigns as much as possible. With 100+ tickets for public manipulation and no upgrades to the marketers, you will stay in good standing.

> By good drugs, this can really be anything, but vaccines are especially cool because their detrimental effects stack upon one category (for the most part). Despite this, balance what kind of drugs you make and sell. In the end, this matters very little. [The influencer makes this much easier for some reason]

Yes,it's luck, like in real world pharma R&D. But as in real world, track your trails closely and do go-kill-decisions often.
