Alex
Alex is a business man, Mayor and a self declared philanthropist, but most notably owner of Alex Incorporated.
Government can easily exist without laws, but law cannot exist without government. ~Alex in his candidacy announcement speech.
The Monopoly era.
When the gang arrived in Capitalist Paradise Valley Alex decided to settle on the northern hill, which in the current day is known as ALEX INC compound.Ruthless business practices
Since Alex held the monopoly rights of everything mined this gave him an edge up against the others as he was the soul producer and creator tools, weapons armor etc. and he used this in a very predatory matter by selling only the end products of metals and not disseminating diamonds till phase two. This approach however did eventually landed him in hot water when RED Inc. sued Alex Inc. for their business practices.Friends and Foes
Recognizing that that there are two things that any person needs early on Alex approached Thomas with a proposition to create the most successful business to this day - the ATM. Ever since Alex Incorporated and OPS Agroindustries has had close business ties. But not everyone found Alex's and his companies policies on selling their product agreeable. Due to his high dependency on Alex Incorporated products Joeke rightfully thought and pointed out that his business is being stifled by the high iron and Redstone prices. As such they have had a cold relationship to this day. Eventually RED Incorporated also challenged Alex Incorporated and ATM in their market dominance wherever they could as can be read in Stonecold competition.Manipulation of the market
Throughout time Alex had accumulated immense wealth where he could spend a doublechests worth of logs without a second thought, which he in fact did do once for a time making Brian the wealthiest person in the valley for a time. This very fact however also contributed to the shock that when during the lawsuit known as RED INC V ALEX INC NR 2 ELECTRIC BOOGALOO Alex Incorporated announced that their coffers were running low due to the Miners strike at Alex INC . Knowing that if the lawsuit was successful his domination of the market would be threatened Alex irreversibly converted his log supply into various wood made items and spent all of his iron and gold reserves in a similar way to avoid any potential damages. This however proved to be unnecessary as Joeke dropped the case soon after filing it.A Public relations effort
Probably due to a realization that most people saw him as ruthless Alex employed a new tactic. Investment in public goods and areas. One of the first things he did was found Alex General Clinic, but also worked on a underground rail system, the roads, relaxed mining restrictions and employed other tactics to make himself more approachable. This tactic continues to this day with construction of the Zoo and other such projects.The economies of scale era
From dark to light
All early Alex Incorporated constructions were known for their avid use of deepslate, however looking for new ways how to change his company brand all new constructions thus far have been either made from warm colours, such as the Miners Voice Media building, or the new constructions built in the modern style using concrete such as the Northern Residential District, The New ATM building or notably A Tower.Vast amount of business ventures
With Alex at the top of Alex Incorporated all of his businesses have been condensed into one large conglomerate. This has centralized a large amount of real-estate, goods and funds into his hands and Alex is actively looking to expand his portfolio. Every other business owner in the city has been approached by him with land acquisition proposals and the sale of their businesses. He has also in the past acquired land from The Government in the form of the nethershack . He is also rumored to be attempting the acquisition of the hole Central Business District for a larger project of his.Involvement in politics
While in the early days Alex generally did not participate in politics directly, preferring to influence it from the shadows during Phase 2 this changed. He was appointed as the first supreme justice and when Thomas stepped down as Lord Mayor he announced his bid for the election on the platform of Law and Order against his long term rival Joeke. When the results were announced however it turned out that none of the candidates had the majority of votes the unthinkable happened and he and Joeke formed a Coalition government .Supporter of Thomas?
During the Second Mayoral Election Aline Private Investigation Bureau ran an article on APIB Investigation of ALEX INC and its ties to The Renevue Revolution calling into question whether or not Alex truly was a supporter of his long term allies government or not. How ever no formal investigation has taken place.
