Business #2: Bouquet Boogaloo | Big Ambitions - Part 7 (Business Simulator RPG -Early Access)
Вставка
- Опубліковано 1 жов 2024
- Big Ambitions continues and, thanks to a slight misunderstanding with the lovely people at the bank, Bernard finds himself with enough money to open up a second store!
However before we get round to that we spend a bit more money on the Boutique, just to finish it off a little more. We finish off the walls and even add a little bit of flooring too, because why not? We then transform the interior layout of the Boutique, buying more racks, moving them around, adding all the new types of clothing, putting up more signs, we even add a bin!
And then we get to work on our new store, which is quite conveniently nearby to both the Boutique and our apartment. After some dithering about trying to choose what type of store we go for, we settle on one which is very 'Bernard-y': a florist!
There's then quite a lot of faffing about getting the store up and running, with all the shelves and baskets and cash registers and all that lot, so settle in for... ADMIN!
Oh, also, thanks go to Dave at Wee Hours Games for his financial advice on consolidating all my monthly payments into one. Good work Dave.
NOTE: This is the early access version of the game.

Your bank balance is tiny, but your ambitions are big.
With a little help from your uncle, you get an apartment and your first job. But then it's up to you to achieve success and take over New York City any way you like.
Slowly build multiple small businesses, grow them into huge corporations, or carve your own unique path - the possibilities are limitless in this vast business sandbox. You've never played anything like this!
Go from a small apartment and public transport to luxury suites, fast cars and designer furniture. Put your money into investment funds and real estate. Succeed, fail, rebuild. But remember to take care of yourself, sleep and stay happy on your rise to the top.
Go from nothing to the most prominent tycoon in New York. Start a business, work smart, make it thrive and enjoy your life. How do you want to be successful? How far can you push it? How long can you make it last?
Start your own gift shop, supermarket, coffee shop, law firm, clothing store, liquor store, florist, and more. You decide what success is - whether it’s a single shop, a chain of fast-food restaurants, a huge corporation, or making millions developing websites.
Take out a loan, rent a building, design the logo, renovate the store, get stock, manage your money, hire staff, and build your infrastructure. Soon, you may have to start importing products from the harbour and distributing them through a network of warehouses.
A bigger business means managers. Hire HR Managers, Logistics Managers, and Purchasing Agents. They all need desks and computers, so you’ll need a fancy headquarters.
Need a delivery truck? Travel to a dealer and buy one. Need food? Go to a supermarket, but make sure you have a refrigerator at home. Big Ambitions is a life sim where your character has to physically interact with the world to survive and succeed.
Enter any building in New York and buy it. Go from a small apartment to a dream penthouse in midtown, a luxurious townhouse in Hell’s Kitchen, or a series of skyscrapers. Fill each with furniture that suits your style and standing. Invest your hard-earned cash in real estate to grow your empire. Take over the city piece by piece.
Spend your wealth however you wish. Buy a big SUV, a speedy sports car, or the new luxurious Mersaidi S500. Maybe risk it all at the casinos or put your money into investment funds and reap the rewards.
As you progress, you always need to ensure you get enough sleep and stay healthy and happy. Enjoy the journey, for as you grow older, you’ll discover that money can’t buy you time... or can it?

Average character gets large loan: I'm gonna open so many businesses
Big Bernard gets large loan: Everything is going to be _so_ colorful!
If you open a nightclub, may I suggest Big B's Boogie Barn
FYI, the dropdowns support typing, so if you're looking for your clothing in a list you can type "Mode" (without the quotes of course) and all the modern clothing will appear at the top of the list
Big B's Bling Blings for your jewelry store 🤣
Only problem is that 1 box of expencive jewels cost like 45K I think it was
That was a great episode. Found it funny with you getting loan. "I'll just type a large amount in as they never give that much." The flabbergasted when the bank did. 😂😂😂😂. ❤
Loving the look of the clothes shop and now a flower one. It is getting busy.
Dont forget about security. (Unless you do that in a later episode, I am a bit behind watching)
Considering Bernard earns a profit of 2k per day, a loan of 75k isn't very big. He's just come a far way, that's all :)
My disappointment when I learned I could not binge watch this series, I can’t believe this is new!
It's a slow burner this one, we're just getting started really but I think things will pick up quickly after this video. Hopefully! Bernard has an unexpectedly large loan to pay off...
You should only use make the walls out of what you like, because people will stop complaining after 20% appeal.
@@YugPatel-f8x I've seen people complain when I'm at 90%, ofc the higher you get the fewer complaints
If you had a fruit and veg shop, couldn't you get your fresh food there? Surely if you bought produce in your own shop, then wouldn't you just be paying yourself?
You don't pay for what you get in your own store, but in the end It'll still cost the same.
You already paid for it at the wholesale, and anything you take for yourself is something you can't sell for profit.
@@DonGorgen Thank you, I was seriously wondering what kind of mechanic they had implemented
Happy birthday Bernard who just turned 19. (60 days = 1 yr)
Seeing so many drunk people around, Bernard shall think of selling liquor to the pals around :D
Loving the series! the best of luck to Burnard
Jaunty Angles is the perfect name for a bar!!
I want to drink there!
Big B's Booze for the liquor store.
The shop looks great!
Just don't forget...
Staff and Stock
As soon as you know how much of each clothing type you sell each week, you know how much to order in on delivery.
It then runs itself if your improved staff are happy.
@@waynejohnson1075 I'd imagine after a few pints, everything is at jaunty angles.
The dressing room are cosmetic they dont do a thing, also maybe Hire some more people so you can train them and switch them out with the un trained people
how would Bernard feel about being a hairdresser
Big B's Bowl cut or Big B's Braids.
Oh, absolutely Big B's Bowl Cut. XD That got a chuckle out of me.
I think Bernard watches fashion shows on TV so he can get inspiration.
I was thinking, "Big B's Blossoming Blooms".
Can't wait to see what you do with the flower shop.
Foolish bank!
Oh, and My Flabber Is Gasted would make a fantastic business name!
Funny seeing him still running around. I thought a van would be bought when the first store was started.
Bernard lived off so much of food that was sold o t he street, that he went you know what I wanted when I was fridgeless… hotdogs! I’m going to open a hotdog shop for all those who are forced to live without fridges in NY
