Okay, here's the situation. I founded Aluminum Co. several years ago, and began spreading it to various cities. Aluminum Co. requires only the resource coal, and my civ has 4 instances of it.

I received the "Hostile Takeover" quest, wherein the corporate leaders charge you to gain additional instances of the resource(s) needed for the corporation. But in this case, since I already had the only prerequisite resource (coal), the opening screen said that I needed to go out and gain 0 additional resources. The very next turn, I got a message stating that I'd completed the quest.

I can understand if this event is not meant to be restricted just to those civs that are lacking one or more resources...but it seems like it should be handled a bit more artfully than this.

(To re-create -- decline Khmer's request, cycle through the technology choice, new builds, and you'll receive the initial quest offering. Once you cycle through the units, go to the next turn and you'll receive notice that you've completed the quest.)
 
Had the same with Mining Inc., was really funny though :D
