A truely Red Rivalry: DM Companies declare war on Xsampan Strawberry Dominance

Many eyebrows were raised by the newest Dual Monarchist private sector scheme. Many of the larger financial institutions unburdened by previous governments guidelines and regulations favoring investment into the expansion of the oversized Military Industrial Sector have started taking interest in transforming the economy back to a hyper-competitive consumer good predator. In this spirit BannerBank Limited and the modern 'startup' bank ThallerCoinVault (TCV) have announced their participation in transforming the effecient Clenonberg-era Nährrode agricultural district into a more cashcrop focussed business savy region. As a first scheme the newcomer in the primary sector of the economy of Narikaton and Darnussia is the company "Rot & Zucker" (R&Z) who have declared a "war" against Xsampan dominance in international strawberry markets. "Our tropical climate and our liberal mindset will beat the reds." said CEO Machiel Deerns (VVP member). During the press-conference Deerns has pointed toward the obvious advantages the Dual Monarchist upstart has in comparison to Xsampa State Owned Industry. "We dont pay those fu- ah I mean, we can introduce and maintain certain... efficiency markers... or something!" What made investors more confident in the endeavour is the clear involvement of the central government such as Josef Beidel (VVP) himself and the prominence-gaining Jette Marissen (Corporate). And obviously the massive amount of money coming towards the diverisifcation of the agricultural sector didnt hurt confidence either.
