This chapter is an outline for now. The book is written in public: the full text, stories and cases will be added to this page, at this same address.

Chapter summary

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

这一章,我带你走进华尔街最经典的财富游戏之一:LBO——杠杆收购。

我会尽量不讲术语,重点讲那个最让普通人觉得不可思议的问题:

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,你就能理解 Private Equity(私募股权)。
