Is my math right!?!?

June 9, 2016

For the CEO at minimum 2,9 mil for the office and a big warehouse.

666k to fill it, 2,2 mil to sell it. Profit: 1,5-1,6 mil. This would take about 7 hrs with 2 players.

Associate: For the 7 hours salary around 180k

Deliveries: 36x10=360k (is it 10 per every single delivery?)

Total: 540k

If im the CEO i'd have to work between 12-14hrs just to break even?

If only I could earn the bank for a luxury office in 14 hours IRL.

Video games and GTA are supposed to be fun, real life isn't.

Yes, and after you break even, you'll be making a hefty bonus for every job you do. After all, you're not renting these offices, you're buying them.

Same principle as buying a store in real life: you're not buying money, you're buying a long-term money maker. Keyword highlighted.

Yeah I did a 700k selling run, one of three trucks would not move. it failed, luckily I closed game and now I have all stock back.

Well actually if want to counter the cost of filling up your warehouse. (Which for a large one. Takes 37 missions)

Is do a warehouse mission and after finish it, either do sightseer headhunter or hostile takeover and let the time get down below 5:00 mins. And you'll make 25,000 dollars.

So 25,000(vip mission)-18,000(contraband crates)=7,000.(total profits)

So if you did the vip mission 37 times.

7,000x37=259,000 profit.

So that's a tip to help with profit.

Yea, that's if nothing goes wrong. With stacking and selling 2 full big warehouses, something is going to go wrong sooner or later.

I wish you could take on even higher risk, higher reward deliveries.

Yes, but isn't the cooldown 5 minutes? Unless you are doing the deliveries already in a helicopter, this would probably take longer overall (you flying around the map) and then getting back to your office.

Then again i could just sit in the office doing the hacking minigame while my peasant flies around. Then i'd be there to make the next purchase straight away. Might hear a few moans though. Oh yea, but the gps has to be set too... nvm.

Yeah but by the time, you done with the warehouse mission, the cool down timer is done. And sightseer wasn't to bad actually for me. Majority of were pretty much only about 2 miles apart. (Same with headhunter, and even for supplies like ammo, all you need is a pistol and armored kurma if you have one. And pistol ammo is cheap anyways)

And this mostly for you if you're by yourself in a public session.

And yeah it's slower compared just going to the office straight away, but at least there is a way to counter the price of the cargo.

I believe these things were introduced to add variety to the game, and the vast majority of people that don't treat the game like a conquest will be pleased with what's been added. If you're simply looking for the next big grind-to-wealth then sure, this may not be it.

Can't it just be something new but not necessarily perfect? After all, none of us are.

Also, sure, you need to do some work to break even, but it's pure profit after that. Stop being a negative Nancy and just play the game for fun.

12-14 hours is a very optimistic time frame. More like 20-25. Things will go wrong, people will force that to happen...

No, i asked if my math is right, i didn't b*tch and moan, i asked if it's right or not.

I'm more than happy to discuss the dlc, but coming in with a passive-aggressive comment, might not go down well with everyone.

Antagonistic attitude? I'm not in a good mood, that and the reason i already mentioned.

See? A straight answer to a straight question.

If you know you're purposely being antagonistic then continuing to act in that way (which you did in your reply) shows that you don't actually care.

Not a good attitude, man, which is all I'm seeing from you. Your perspective shapes your reality, so if you want to continue being unhappy then there's nothing anyone can do about it.

I gave you a perfectly good response of something positive, which is once you've broke even it's pure profit after that, and it's decent profit at that.

I'll drop out of this now, though, as you clearly aren't in a viable mindset for discussion that has a different agenda than yours.

I hope you resolve your issues and start to once again enjoy the game

I've been going through these forums for a while and you seem to be reasonable, that's my perception of you. That being said, if you say or in this case write something, that rubs me the wrong way, i'll react to it, if im in a bad mood, even more so. Your first comment was perfectly fine untill the last bit, and i understand and see where you're coming from, I do.

My disappointment is probably showing through my previous posts and that's why you called me a ''negative Nancy'', despite not having actually b*tched and moaned per say. I get it, it annoyed me a little bit regardless.

Your last post shows again, you're reasonable and you responded with a good response, which made me think about more how to reply myself.

Maybe we got off on the wrong foot? Mutual respect, that's all there needs to be.

Yea, the locked cars are annoying, seems to be a trend now. Really want the 918 and the Aston. Didn't care too much about the cars in this, althought the FMJ is quite nice.

For the CEO at minimum 2,9 mil for the office and a big warehouse.

666k to fill it, 2,2 mil to sell it. Profit: 1,5-1,6 mil. This would take about 7 hrs with 2 players.

Associate: For the 7 hours salary around 180k

Deliveries: 36x10=360k (is it 10 per every single delivery?)

Total: 540k

If im the CEO i'd have to work between 12-14hrs just to break even?

Doesnt sound bad at all to me. You were probably going to play another 14 hours at least anyways, unless the world ends tomorrow.

How did you get the number 7 hours to fill up the warehouse?

I'm not saying you're wrong because I haven't bothered to check. Just curious to know if there's any Mathematics behind it, that's all.

Got told not to post here, but:

It was just a rough estimate. 37 deliveries, 10 minutes each, roughly 6 hours, plus the breaks you'll end up having. Might be more like 10 hours for all i know really.

Agreed - thanks for being cool. It's a rare thing to see a potential argument cool down on this forum, and it is much appreciated.

Kudos, sir.

If you're working solo and have figured out how to stay in an empty lobby indefenitely, you can make around 341,000 every couple hours or less. Just fill up a large warehouse completely, sell off the minimum amount of crates (22 for 341k), and refill, which only needs 8 crate jobs. Plus you get those high-value items every 10 or so jobs for a little extra on the side. Refilling the 22 crates you sell and selling them off again takes roughly 1.4-2 hours depending on the random situations you get in, and whether or not you're using a heli to get everywhere and are alone in a lobby.

Another day or so of me doing this and I'll of made back the money i spent on my 2 warehouses.

Normally if you have an empty warehouse and sell 3 crates, you'll get 36k, or 12k per crate. With a warehouse of 111 crates you can sell 22 for 341k, or 15,500 per crate. Selling more then that at once will raise the money per crate a bit, but will take longer to refill the warehouse back. The only downside I guess is the initial stocking of the warehouse with 111 crates, which took me two days and a lot of hours. But if you hate having to depend on people in heists or despise working in lobbies populated with jet griefers it's a nice alternative. Plus you can do VIP missions on the side.

The reason behind doing this, is the 30 min cooldown you get after selling cargo?

Another thing, why fill the warehouse if you're only going to sell 22 crates at a time? The slightly better price you get? It would be very tempting to sell all at once, once you get there...
