A hybrid business model emerges

The Clubswingers' vastly successful start has given foundation to a great era of booming. Based on the high revenues from their trading activities, they have managed to setup over the past couple of weeks two growing trading centers. A chunk of the revenues was invested in cultivating fields and production facilities and we heard that yesterday they even managed to setup a legendary building called bakery:

The council of the Clubswinger leaders gathered to consolidate their efforts so far and plan for the future. They have noticed a very important trend: that the resources gathered from trading, no matter how vast they are, could potentially be outclassed by investing in their own production facilities and resource fields. This trend became obvious after consolidating the profits of their first village: too many competitors in the area and  a gradual reduction in the numbers of trading partners were the root causes of the problem.

The council decided to slowly dismantle the trading business from the first village and leave a nominal trading force to keep some old customers satisfied. The whole of the trading business is going to move to their second village which seems to have far greater potential. However, that area is going to decline as well in the future and the Clubswingers are already making plans to invest in production there, as well.

Still, the trading income is still very high and most of the activities from the short term are expected to come from trading.
