The Constitutional Monarchy of Talstadt would like to inquire if the Mercantilist States would like to open a shop in Talstadt. Our people love their alcohol, and many are willing to try different brands. We are assured that your brews are most excellent and so I myself would like to try some. (OOC: However, I'm not quite sure how one "wires" money. So I can't really buy anything... I don't think.)
Thank you x-mal Zeit.

President Henry Adams of Mercantilist Brewing Co.,

I am interested in purchasing thirty pounds of Mercantilism Standard, twenty pounds of Mercantilism Apple Tobacco, and twenty pounds of Mercantilism Green for my personal use. I would like half of each order packaged in cigars. I would also like to hear more about the possibility of investment. I believe, if you are willing, that the farmland around the Nali river would be excellent for growing vast quantities of Mercantalist tobacco. Parsanali is famous for it's consumption of shisha, flavored tobacco smoked from a hookah, and we believe Mercantalism would be perfect for this.

FROM: Henry Adams

Your oder has been processed and your total comes to $30,500 tallents (http://wiki.taijitu.org/index.php?title=Tallent). It will be delivered to your residence within the week. Also, we would also like to inquire about establishing a distribution hub in your nation. Distribution hubs come complete with a Mercantilist Smoke & Brews storefront and will allow for easier access to our products by you and your citizens, often times resulting in lower local prices.

Thank you for the offer to expand our tobacco operation into Pasanali; however, at this time all of our products are guaranteed to be from the Mercantilist States. Our Board is currently considering a change to that policy towards tobacco products as we realize the diversity of tastes that can be had from different areas of Taijitu, and you will be the first to know if that happens.

We also invite you to invest in the Mercantilist Brewing Co. Large scale investors are entitled to preferred stock (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Preferred_stock). Unlike the common stock available on the Decartes Stock Exchange (http://forum.taijitu.org/index.php/topic,1023.msg24586.html#msg24586), holder of preferred stock are entitled to specific rights, and long term investors in good standing may be considered for a position on our Board of Directors. Please refer to our previous statement of interests (above) for a listing of our assets.

We thank you for your business and look forward to future dealings with you and your nation.

Sincerely,

Henry Adams
President, Mercantilist Brewing Co.

President Henry Adams of Mercantilist Brewing Co.,

I would very much like to see a Mercantilist distribution hub in the capital city of Iskandryah. I imagine that it would see a great deal of buisness. However, I must insist that onlt tobacco be solt in Parsanali borders, as alcohol is illegal.

Tobacco production to expand to outside the Mercantilist States

DECARTES (Decartes Business Journal) - The Mercantilist Brewing Co. today announced that it will be expanding its products in the coming week. Expected are new brews, a new whiskey, and a new line of tobacco products - grown outside the Mercantilist States.

Mercantilist Brewing Co. merges with Staropaamen Brewery
MBC acquires controlling interest in Takasian brewer

DECARTES (Decartes Business Journal) - Henry Adams, President of the Mercantilist Brewing Co., with Jan Smichov, CEO and founder of Staropaamen Brewery, announced that the Mercantilst Brewing Co. would be merging with the Paahaa-based brewer in a press conference today.

"This merger will allow us to bring Staropaamen brand products the far reaches of Taijitu," Smichov said. "It is beneficial to all involved."

When asked about the company policy of alcohols only brewed in the Mercantilist States, Adams responded that all Staropaamen brand products would continue to be brewed in Takasia and that it does not violate the company policy. All Mercantilism branded alcohols will continue to be brewed in the Mercantilist States.

"I can ensure any concerned that all Mercantilism brews will continue to be brewed right here at home," Adams said.

The merger comes after weeks of secret negotiations between Adams and Smichov. The Mercantilist Brewing Co. had established a number of distribution hubs in Takasia and acquired farmland in Alland Major.

Under the terms of the agreement, the Mercantilist Brewing Co. acquires 52% of Staroppamen from the Smichov family and Royal Takasian Funds, the primary holders of Staropaamen. In exchange, the Smichov family and Royal Takasian Funds each acquired a 12% stake in the Company. Additionally, Smichov will take a seat on the Company's Board of Directors and the Company becomes the exclusive distributor of Staropaamen branded products.

The merger is not without its critics however.

"No to Staropaamen! No to Mercantilist Beer!" drunken crowds chanted outside local taverns in the Takasian provinces of Smalland and Upland.

Staropaamen is the largest alcohol producer in Takasia.

Mercantilist Brewing Co. merges with Black Death
MBC enters the cigarette industry

DECARTES (Decartes Business Journal) - Henry Adams, President of the Mercantilist Brewing Co., with Richard Black, CEO of Black Death, World Class Cigarettes announced that the Mercantilst Brewing Co. would be merging with the Carcossa-based company in a press conference today.

"Black Death cigarettes are already one of the most popular brands in Taijitu," Adams said. "It is with great pleasure, that we welcome them into our fold."

Black, with a rifle around his shoulder and smoking a black cigarette, made no comments.

The merger comes after the pair returned from a trade conference in Llanydern where the principles of the arrangement were negotiated.

The Mercantilist Brewing Co. acquires 75% ownership of Black Death, while Black Death acquires a 10% stake in MBC. One of the first moves Adams made was change the name of the cigarettes from Black Death to World Class citing the latter's broader appeal; but added "they will continue to have the same great taste that has come to set Black Death apart." 

Black will take a seat on the Company's Board of Directors and the Company becomes the exclusive distributor of Black Death cigarettes, tobacco, and opium. Black Death will continue to market its various paraphernalia products separately.
