You'll earn twenty million U. S. Dollars packaging five Asian
companies into American Blind Pools (ABP). Your private company client gets a million U. S. Dollars of expansion capital. Their private company becomes an American public company. Their company is insulated from local currency fluctuations because their stock trades in American dollars. The ABP's can offer Asian businesses substantial tax benefits. An ABP can qualify the company for local Government business incentive programs.
A Blind Pool is a public shell company with money in the treasury.
A shell is a company without assets. Public means a company that trades on
the American Over-the-Counter Bulletin Board (OTCBB). These public stocks
are quoted everywhere in Asia on the Internet. In our Workshop discussion,
money means one million U. S. Dollars.
Your group needs cash to make an American Blind Pool program
profitable. You must hire a firm to create local demand for the stock of
your American Blind Pool companies. You'll need help creating the American Blind Pools and arranging the million-dollar European Private Placement. You should budget US$200,000 for each blind pool you create. It's probably more seed capital than your group will require, but it's wiser to over
estimate costs.
Your group needs Asian private business contacts to sell your
American Blind Pools. Most Asian businesses are undervalued. This is your
opportunity to help sound local companies while making your fortune doing
it. Your group's strong private company contacts must be with operating
companies. The U. S. Million dollar infusion must ensure a million dollar
increase in the company's profits. If your private company contacts are
solid, you can pre-sell American Blind Pools (ABP) and reduce your overhead.
How will you structure the stock in your American Blind Pools?
You'll need ten percent of the issued stock to create the American Blind
Pool. Your group will retain ten percent of the ABP stock. You'll need to
issue ten percent of the stock to secure the ABP European Private Placement
underwriting. The Asian Private company will get seventy percent of the ABP stock. The
Goodbyes From Listeners: Steve Miller
Twenty years ago, Steve Miller's girlfriend left him for another man. Now a writer living in Los Angeles, Miller tells the story of the cold night they parted ways.
Making The Perfect Exit
Madeleine Brand consults writers and thinkers to come up with the perfect ending for <em>Day to Day</em>.
Sock Puppets And Cupcakes
Mike Pesca was a reporter for <em>Day to Day</em> from the beginning. He covered sock puppets, cupcakes and the occasional piece of actual news. He's back with a quirky Pescian farewell to listeners and <em>Day to Day</em> staff.
ABP's issued stock will be about 5.5 million shares.
How will your group make US$4 million from each American Blind
Pool? An American public shell with eighty percent control is worth
US$40,000, PLUS the net cash in the Treasury. You are offering seventy
percent control with a million dollars in the Treasury. The private company
should pay you at least US$400,000 for the ABP. You'll have over 500,000
shares of the ABP's stock. If you sell the stock at an average price of
US$8/share, you'll gross over US$4 million. Deduct your US$200,000 in
organizational costs and brokerage commissions. Deduct the cost of listing
your ABP companies on a European Stock Exchange. Your group still earns
over US$4 million from each American Blind Pool.
The secret to an eight U. S. Dollar share price is to ensure that
there are more buyers than sellers of the ABP shares. The American OTCBB
trading will set the ABP's share price. There's only a half million shares
in the American OTCBB Market. Focus buying here and you'll see the ABP
share price climb. You can afford to list your ABP companies on a European
Stock Exchange. The European Private Placement shares will be sold in
Europe. You can sell your shares in Europe. It should take you less than
a year to realize your group's profit from an ABP.
To complete its recovery, Asian business needs capital infusion.
ABP's are one way create capital while making your risk capital group a
fortune. I'm willing to create and arrange the funding of American Blind
Pools for credible Asian merchant banking and venture capital firms. Do you
have the seed cash and the business contacts? DealMakers will sponsor a
one-day workshop at the Regency Hotel in Kuala Lumpur on Saturday, January 15, 2000. I'm the Workshop moderator. If your group wants to attend, please contact the magazine.
