Being the entrepreneur that I am I was considering starting a Slave trade business.Here are the key components that I think would be needed.I would primarily be the coordinator/founder.I would probably need a few investors to get it off the ground,however it is possible that this may not even be workable.Feel free to post your thoughts.I just have a lot of free time and was bored.

I am posting this in order to gain some feedback as to whether or not it would be a lucrative business,and the probability of success.I am also curious as to what the charge would be for various aspects of the business.This idea is in it's very beginnings so feel free to add any suggestions of your own.I watched Law and Order last night,and started thinking if slave trade would be possible in the year 2060.

First.A location to acquire the actual slave labor?This is one of the first of many difficult decisions to make.I need an area where you could empty small villages of children and young adults without much resistance.I am open to suggestions on this.

Second.A team with priority of nuyen over morals to secure the groups of slaves.I figured a 6 man team give or take.This is subject to change,depending on the size of slaves taken.Mostly high firepower with a couple doses of combat mage.Cost?

3rd.A vessel to transport both the team and the slaves.This could well be the most costly of the items needed.Due to cost,the thoughts of trying to hijack a sub or large watercraft have crossed my mind.I would like to stay away from aircraft, but I haven't ruled it out.

4th.A pilot of the sub/watercraft or plane.Cost?

5th.A location to keep the slave labor till transfer to owners.A large warehouse complete with suitable quarters.Nothing elaborate here.Would have to find a location where the leaser stayed out of your business. This could be possibly provided by an investor although not necessarily.

6th.A method to find investors?I mean really,you know there out there.It's all about coming into contact with them.

7th.A way to get the word out you are in the business of selling human labor?There would be a high demand for omeone you could have work 16 hours a day for the expense of food and a small room to live in.It's a goldmine.The advertising is a slight problem,however.I mean after all it is illegal.

8th.How much should the asking price be?If you had 20 slaves and sold them for 50,000 a piece that would 1,000,000..Even if your overhead was 750,000 a trip that's 250,000Not bad for sitting in Seatlle.

Anyway,like I said I was bored.
