The cat salesman V
Now, with all of this “manual labour” and “hard work”, you’re starting to look like a working class peasant! You’re an entrepreneur, not a peasant! Yes, why not just… Hire people? You probably wouldn’t die if you were just sitting in an office somewhere (in 900, at least, not now), and you would get super rich! Yes! Why, not do that?
The ethical way
Split the profits evenly. That’s ethical, right? I couldn’t think of anything more ethical than a worker owned business, so that could work! Add that to our ceca calculations and we’re good to go (for x = # of workers)!
((800 / 50) / x) * 2
((80 / 5) / x) * 2
(16 / x) * 2
If x – for example – is 4, our ceca is (16/4) * 2 or 8. But that isn’t cash-money! We need real cash-money, which we can do trough
The unethical way
Underpay people! That’s another really good idea, especially if you want to earn the maximum number of cash-money in a ceca as possible! If we pay people unfairly we can do something like (for x = # of workers, y = ceiniog/worker):
((800 / 50) - (x * y) * 2
((80 / 5) - (x * y)) * 2
(16 - (x * y)) * 2
So now if we have 4 workers and pay them 1 ceiniog we get (16 - (4 * 1)) * 2 ceiniog or 28 ceiniog. See! Now we’re really making cash-money! We’ve reduced our chance of “muerto” (if you know what I mean) while severely underpaying workers to maximize our money earned!
Robbed and killed
28 ceiniog is of course a very generous estimate, as we would probably get murdered and robbed along the way. What I mean is that it’s probably a good idea to add our probability calculations to our ceca calculations, something like (for x = # of workers, y = ceiniog/worker):
(((80 / 5) - (x * y)) * P(1)) * 2
((16 - (x * y)) * P(1)) * 2
((16 - (x * y)) * 0.6) * 2
Making it less ugly (Sh = Share {as in your share}, Pr = Probability remainder):
Sh(a, b) = { (80 / 5) - (a * b) },
Pr(a) = { a - P(1) },
(Sh(x, y) * Pr(1)) * 2
And if you’re lazy, you could put this into a function! I will be doing that since I also want a better way of formulating cecas. Here it is (it also factors in the trading of geese to double profits):
Sh(a, b) = { (80 / 5) - (a * b) },
Pr(a) = { a - P(1) },
Ce(a, b) = { (Sh(a, b) * Pr(1)) * 2 }
So now with our four underpaid workers (Ce(x, y)), we’d get around 17 ceiniog on average.
Not good, but somehow better (for you) than splitting it evenly! The last part of this
actual calculation hell would be a last explanation of the Ce() function, as so:
Ce(x, y)
-> (Sh(x, y) * Pr(1)) * 2
-> (((80 / 5) - (x * y)) * Pr(1)) * 2
-> ((16 - (x * y)) * Pr(1)) * 2
-> ((16 - (x * y)) * 0.6) * 2
