I am a little bit concentrating my businesses and one possibility is indeed to give the manor shares to DeptStore, who will soon merge with King's Farms, and will take the competition with NewFarms (whose success in these days can be participated in - S-NC is in the market).
Well, that kinda sucks because most, if not all, of the manor lords have been sustaining losses with the hopes of something good to come out of it in the future.
