HONG KONG CAPITALISM


 


You have two cows.

You sell three of them to your publicly-listed company, using letters of credit opened by your brother-in-law at the bank, then execute a debt swap with associated tender offer so that you can get all four cows back with a tax deduction for keeping five cows.  The milk rights for six cows are transferred via a Panamanian intermediary to a Cayman Islands company secretly owned by the majority shareholder, who sells the rights to all seven cow's milk to a US investor, with an option on one more.  Meanwhile you kill the two cows because the feng shui is bad.
