Chapter summary

The chapter tells the story of the leveraged buyout (LBO), one of Wall Street's classic wealth games, with as little jargon as possible. The question at its centre: how can someone borrow to buy a company and then have the acquired company repay the debt? From there the reader understands how private equity works.

为什么有人可以借钱买下一家公司,然后让被买下的公司自己偿还债务?

从这里理解 Private Equity(私募股权)。
