Редактирование: Common Core:Donk Co (раздел)

=From Rags to Riches=
The tale of Donk Co. begins in a prison on [[Common_Core:New_Moscow|New Moscow]], where a group of inmates were ready for release. The group had decided to turn their lives around after spending years in prison, and they had a plan- fast food. Each of them had developed their cooking skills while on the inside, with the goal to create the next big snack. However, they needed funding, and this is where our tale takes a turn.

[[Common_Core:Nanotrasen|Nanotrasen]] had been seeking a method of aiding their flagging public reputation, and had decided on an outreach program, specifically a corporate grant for new businesses. One of the awardees was Donk Co, who put the money towards producing and marketing their new product, the Donk Pocket. Its runaway success made them all rich, and each subsequent release of a new flavour or new product such as Ready Donk would bring even more revenue in. To the casual observer, this seemed perfect, but trouble was brewing behind the scene as their distribution network became more and more stretched.

As their corporate investors, Nanotrasen offered a new grant for distribution, alongside a lucrative contract for Donk products to be provided to Nanotrasen's spinward sector stations, allowing Donk Co to set up a logistics division which would offer cargo hauling services to external companies. However, this quickly turned south as Nanotrasen was continually late on payment for the goods- eventually ceasing to pay altogether. Then, they delivered a bombshell- the terms for the grant included that Nanotrasen would receive royalties on any sales made by the company. Re-reading their copy of the contract, Donk Co. could not find any mention of this, but Nanotrasen demanded they be paid these royalties before a single penny of their contract for products would be paid out.
