It's time to fight back against the rivals!
Counterattacks
- Lowered Prices - if you lower your selling price on items rivals also sell, all the rivals in that neighborhood will be forced to lower their prices as well, and lose some of their weekly income. And if you keep this up for a few weeks, you'll also see their stores' valuation going down!
- Lowered Demand - you can open up new businesses that your rivals are also running in order to lower the demand of the products they are selling, which will also lower their weekly income.
- Poaching Employees - you can find each rivals' employees listed in their company's BizMan page. Here you can attempt to poach a rival's employees by negotiating a better wage for them. If you successfully poach them, the rival will be forced to replace them with an inferior employee, lowering their store's weekly income.
