We at Chevis Automotive are looking to grow our small company on the international level, seeing as our nation is not one of the leaders - by any measure - in automotive sales. We, on the other hand, are looking to expand our production, sales, and name.

As such, we are looking for nations willing to allow us to expand into their market. If you're on who is willing to allow us to import our vehicles to your great nation, please let us know in here so we can do so!

The following information is needed:
Your Nations Name:

To the CEO of Chevis Automotive

The Communist Dominion of Stoklomolvi would like to announce that Chevis Automotive may establish small factories in some of the larger cities in Stoklomolvi. However, we must note that if you do establish a factory in Stoklomolvi, we will be monitoring your progress, and every year we expect at least 25,000 vehicles manufactured. Stoklomolvi has quite a large automotive industry, with over 3,200,000 automobiles sold nationwide per year. The market is currently growing with a massive demand for high-end vehicles, specifically fuel cell vehicles that run on fusion reactor cores. We hope you extend to Stoklomolvi.

Grigor Stuyonovich,

This is fully acceptable. We will build one factory at first, and plan to produce 25,000 the first year, with plans to expand after that, especially as our higher-end vehicles develope more.

Chevis is looking to export more of its vehicles, and is looking for large markets.

The nation of Flaming Souls is willing to import all makes and models of vehicles as a recent surge in popularity of all things foreign has left the demand higher than the supply by large amounts. Attached is the requested information.

Excellent! We will begin to build our Retail Facilities in your nation, at which point we will begin exporting our vehicles. If demand requires it, and if allowed by your government, we may build a plant or two for manufacturing the vehicles.

Thank you! Also, you can have two plants, but far from cities or forests please. Urmania's athmosphere is very clean, and we are proud of it.

To: Joe Ticker, CEO of Chevis Automotive
From: Tom Lancaster, CEO of Wunderburgen Automobiles

Dear Sir,
We are pleased to see your company is doing well in all of its markets. We have been enthralled by your vehicles popularity, and how closely it is approaching our own. Especially within our native Soulia. In the interest of serving our customers and yours, I write this letter to you today. Both of our lines of vehicles are doing quite well, and we here at WA believe that it would benefit both our companies, as well as the consumer if we were to merge into a single entity. Not only would it aid in circumventing tariff fees on vehicles being sold in our respective home countries, it would allow for a combination of our unique styles with the promise of creating wonderful new vehicles for all consumers. As this proposition is a merger, not a take over, please feel free to respond with any concerns or requests you may have, as we are willing to work around your needs as best possible.

Sincerely,
Tom Lancaster

Subject: RE: Merger
Body:
We thank you for your interest in our vehicles. We have recently turned down some merger and take-over offers. However, we have recently been reconsidering. As such, we would love to entertain this. We have reviewed your model lineup, and feel it could potentially be of great mixture with our own. Technologies used in both can also come in handy for eachother.

We do have a question though: What will come of our two companies names in current and future markets? How will we operate in markets which we share? Which we do not share?

Thank you,

Joe Ticker
CEO of Chevis Automotive

Mr. Ticker,

First let me say how glad I am to hear that you are willing to entertain this proposal. As to your question in regards to the naming policy, I recommend that within markets that we currently operate, be they separate of each other, or in competition, we retain our current company names. For future markets that we move into however I suggest we create a unique corporate identity with plans to eventually move all of our products under the umbrella of the new name. Do you request any further information?

Tom Lancaster,

We here at Chevis Automotive had mulled over the same idea, and we are in agreement with this decision. To discuss this further, we would like to setup a meeting at our headquarters. We will personally fly you out.

Thank you,

Joe Ticker
CEO of Chevis Automotive

We thank you for your offer, and already had our bags prepared, for just such an occurrence. Inform your pilot that he can touchdown on our private airfield. We will be waiting and looking forward to meeting you.

Your Nations Name: The Kingdom of SaintB
Annual Automotive Sales: $98 to $102 million
Slumping, level, or growing market: A stable level market that does not looke to fluxuate either way within the next decade.
Type of Market: Hybrids, Low End, and fuel efficient SUV's/Vans

While production within our nation is not possible due to our extremely low Unemployment rates, you may import and sell vehicles. Most citizens use our highly efficient public transportation system within cities but in outlying areas owning your own vehicles is more popular.

Your Nations Name: The People's Nation of Alfegos
Annual Automotive Sales: 120 000
Slumping, level, or growing market: Slumping
Type of Market: Hybrids, Hydrogen and Electric cars

Details of Alfegos Automative Market

Due to massive public transport schemes, all proven cheaper than cars, there are relatively few cars in citizen ownership (around about 47% of city-dwellers own cars). However, outside the cities and especially in the Milkavich and Polinas province, around about 98% of people own vehicles, as many are farmers, forest dwellers and seasonal workers.

The sort of cars usually purchased are hybrid/hydrogen cars in the Zevkhay Twin City, and in most cities and towns across Alfegos. There are the occasional sports car purchase from high-flyers in New Zevkhay.

In the forests and fields of Polinas and Milkavich, high-powered 4-wheel drive cars are used as they are necessary, with most still running on fossil fuels.

Sales Details
If you wish to sell in Alfegos, we will first rpovide you with showrooms in Old Zevkhay, New Zevkahy (note that it will be rather expensive, due to lack of space in New Zevkhay), Il Vi, Ol'Vi, Milkavich and Polinapolis.

After that, we will process any further wishes to extend sales.

We can grant you manufacturing space for discounted price in old Zevkhay, in one of the newest opening sectors on the city edge. We will permit up to two manufacturing plants in Alfegos.

We will allow you to ship in vehicles either by sea at the Old Zevkhay International Port Sector, or via Airship into Peace Airpark (we will provde airship transportation, which is faster and potentially with a larger payload than a cargo ship, at the cost of a higher price per crate)

Outstandin! Thank you Alfegos and SaintB!

The small Shu Goddess PR2 (http://forums.jolt.co.uk/showthread.php?t=542747) touched down in Flaming Souls. Inside, the aircraft carried some of the top executives at Chevis Automotive, including the Chief Executive Officer Joe Ticker. It was time to talk of a possible merger.

Wunderburgen Private Airfield

Awaiting the arrival of the Chevis Executives, was Lisselle Milor, Executive Secretary. She promptly greeted the VIPs and directed them to an glossy black limousine in exquisite condition. "Welcome to Soulia gentlemen. We hope your stay is prosperous. Please enjoy the comforts of our new Integrity Limousine. You have villas awaiting, and Mr. Lancaster anxiously awaits meeting you. Unfortunately he is rather tied up today, giving the final clearance on a few of our new models. He will be free to meet you tomorrow at your convenience. "

"Thank you." Joe Ticker said, putting his hand out to shake her hand. "It is great to be here in Soulia. I, too, look forward to meeting with Mr. Lancaster. These next few days may be the making of the next great automotive company."

Thee four men entered the limousine. "This is one fine piece of machinary. What is the timeline of this vehicle for launch?" Joe inquired.

"Well Mr. Ticker, currently we think it will be on the market by the end of the year. But we were awaiting your input to see what we might be able to do to improve it." she replied as the limo set into motion.

"I'm initially impressed. It seems like an excellent vehicle. But, we shall see. You say tomorrow he can meet? Are there any plans for this evening? If not, I think we may take a tour of your fine city. This is my first visit to Soulia." Joe said.

"We do our best to not schedule events outside the reason for visiting with any of our visitors. We believe that everyone, regardless of position, should be aware of any plans at least a week in advance. I guess what I am trying to say is that you are free to do as you please. Mr. Lancaster had a feeling you may wish to tour Eska, and has provided a number of options to meet your needs." she said, as she reached into her purse and retrieved four credit cards and distributed them. "Please feel free to use these credit cards for anything you need to purchase during your stay, as we are more than happy to pick up the bill. Also, should you wish to remain in a group, you are welcome to the use of this limo, or if you prefer to go your own ways, we shall provide any car from our current lineup for you to use."

"Well this is certainly refreshing news. I guess we shall be exploring Eska. And I think we'll likely end up going together for a while and splitting up later." he said as he and the other three accepted the cards. "Thank you for the cards. You and Mr. Lancaster are too kind." he said.

"Well, don't think we are trying to butter you up. This is the same courtesy we extend to all visitors, regardless of status." she said as the limo came to a stop. "It appears we are here. Your credit cards will also act as keys to the villa's, which are located on the top floor. Numbers 1-4 as it were."

Joe laughed slightly, "Well, now I feel a little better given the fact I don't like to be treatly like royalty if others cannot be. Thank you for the ride and information." he said. "We will likely head out in an hour."

"Enjoy your evening, and if you need anything I left my number in each of your rooms."

"Enjoy your evening, and if you need anything I left my number in each of your rooms."

Your Nations Name: The Shazbotdom Empire
Annual Automotive Sales: > 1.234 Trillion USD
Slumping, level, or growing market: Growing
Type of Market: Pure Ethanol Vehicles, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles

Background Information: Roughly 35 years ago, The Shazbotdom Empire began it's 'Go Green' Campaign. For the next 20 years of that campaign, the Internal Combustion Engine was altered in many ways to help with the development of new technology, bringing about the Pure Ethanol Engine. Within the last 4 years, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles began to make an appearance as well, headed by those at Shazbotdom Motors, INC. Within the next 10 years, Hydrogen Fuel Cell Vehicles will completely replace the Ethanol Combustion Engine vehicles so any foreign motor vehicle manufacturing companes should be prepared for this.

Tom Lancaster began his day in the usual way. Climbing off of the couch in his office and going to his private wash closet to freshen up for the day. When he finished he began reading the days headlines while he waited patiently for the Chevis Executives.

The four men, wearing their medium taupe-colored suites with white shirts.

Joe Ticker walked upto Tom and shook his hand, "Hello Mr. Lancaster, I am Joe Ticker. You can call me Joe. It is a pleasure to finally meet you in person. We have been awaiting this day!" he said before sitting down.

"Well Joe, you can call me Tom. And we are as pleased as you are. So, let's get down to business. As we said, we will cater to your needs, and as such I would like to hear your needs for this deal to go through."

"Tom it is. What are our needs? We just so happen to have a paper listing what we are looking for in this merger." Joe said as Trevon, the CFO of Chevis Automotive, pulled a sheet out of his brief case.

...
-Remain Under Indifidual Names In Current Markets
-Singular Name In Future Markets
-Ownership and Power to Remain Equal Between Two Current Management Teams
...

Those three were highlighted as major requirements. However, there were others listed such as technological and engineering sharing.

"Well, we can obviously agree entirely without argument on the first and third major point, and the second doesn't seem like a bad idea at all. In fact everything listed here is about exactly what we expected to see."

"Outside of what has already been covered, I only expect to be the premiere auto company in the world."

"That's exactly where we stand. Shall we break for half an hour?"

"Yes, I will go and talk to my assistants and see if they have any additional input. You are welcome to stay here if you want."

The four returned to the table half an hour later. They were in agreement with the merger. However, they would have to wait for Tom to return.

"Gentlemen, sorry for the wait, there was a huge line down at the taco shack. So, who would you like to begin?" Tom asked as he strolled into his office, tossing a taco wrapper into the trash.

"Man, tacos sound good. When we're finished here, I've got to check that place out. But, I'd like to inform you that we are in agreement with a merger." said Joe.

"Good good, I can show you the way. My assistants couldn't think of anything else they needed from the merger, so shall we leave the rest to the lawyers and go get some tacos? I only had time for one, and I could pack a few more in." Tom said, smiling broadly. "What do you say partners?"

"I say let's do it. We're all hungry, and I think we call now call ourselves partners indeed. While we eat, we'll figure out a name."

"Nothing like some Taco's from Toga's to get the creative juices flowing." Tom said as he led them to the elevator at the end of the hall.

"I couldn't agree more. That will help alot. This place must be pretty good, yes?" Joe asked.

"You think we would allow anything but the best to operate here? I see we have a few things to show you." Tom said jokingly. "But yes, they are quite good. And cheap too."
