Port Olympus, Captial of the Federated Klatchian Coast
Headquarters of the Klatchian International Opportunities Fund

"Well?" Landgrave Wittelbach asked as he stormed into the room. He was a narrow thin man with a razor like nose and piercing blue eyes. He had brushed passed the secretary and was now facing Pat Donhide. Pat was a shorter, younger, handsomer man who was now President of the the Klatchian International Opportunities Fund.

"Well it appears that someone offered the Crawfords six trillion for their forty percent stake." Pat replied as he looked up from the large desk that was between him and the irate chairman of the board.

"So is this conglomerate going to go after any of the other, smaller investors?" The nobleman dropped into one of the overstuffed leather chairs.

"I doubt it, they seemed to be trying to induce the buyout we wanted of We Buy It inc on their terms. I doubt they could raise the capital to actually get a majority share." Pat replied calmly. The secretary was hovering near the doorway. Pat waved him off, now was not the time for a little perk of his job.

"Well that take-over attempt went well didn't it Pat?" coming from a man who had made a fortune in the world commodities market, it was not a complimentary comment.

"No, a counter buy was unexpected, and really just poor planning." Pat replied.

"Quite, but we do need to do something about the huge pile of cash on hand. We've made major investments in Klatchian Energy but they can only build fusion reactors so fast."

"Yes my lord…I was thinking we might want to see about investing in some small start up companies."
Pat was hoping this sounded like a good plan to cool the board's heels with until he could find some new companies to buy out.

"Quite, well it sounds better than nothing…I think the board will support it"

The Klatchian International Opportunities Fund has decided to look into investing its large cash reserves into promising companies within the world marketplace. It is felt that buy entering into the venture capital buisness, that KIOF will be able to garner high rate returns on its cash reserves and higher dividends for its investors.

As part of this process, KIOF is taking proposals from companies which would like to have KIOF invest in them for a stake within the corporation.

Requirements of Proposal:
Name:
Nation of Origin:
Business Type:
Business Description:
Proposed Funding Level:
(Including percentage of company stock or ownership to be transferred to KIOF for their investment.)

Requirements of Proposal: KIOF provides funds for builds fusion plants within our nations borders to provide power and replace existing nuclear fission plant, we will provide materials for production and give 15% of profits from customers for 30 (NS) years, or the time it takes for us to pay you off.(Which ever comes last)
Name: Zap! Zap! Ltd.
Nation of Origin: The Silver Sky
Business Type: Electricity Provider
Business Description: Provides power to 60% of The Silver Sky, in the process of buying out It's Shocking! Ltd.
Proposed Funding Level: (Funding Provided by you)$20 Trillion USD to build powerplants.
(Provided by us) 10% of company stocks, 4,000,000,000 stocks total (Approx. $400,000,000,000 USD (company owns 40% of total stocks, 40,000,000,000)

Name: Zap! Zap! Ltd.
Nation of Origin: The Silver Sky
Business Type: Electricity Provider
Business Description: Provides power to 60% of The Silver Sky, in the process of buying out It's Shocking! Ltd.
Proposed Funding Level: (Funding Provided by you)$20 Trillion USD to build powerplants.
(Provided by us) 10% of company stocks, 4,000,000,000 stocks total (Approx. $400,000,000,000 USD (company owns 40% of total stocks, 40,000,000,000)

Your proposal is that we buy 400 Billion in stock for 20 Trillion? With a buyout option over 30 years. And your companies valuation would be only four trillion USD currently.

Questions on Proposal:
Total Market Share of fission as part of electricity production
Current Market Prices for electricity
Cuttent electric use per person

Well, yes, except for the buyout option, under no curcumstances will a Silver Sky industry as important as this be bought out. The income from customers will pay fo the $20 Trillion investment many times over

Total Market Share of fission as part of electricity production: 60%
Current Market Prices for electricity: $5 per kilowatt used
Current electric use per person: 2 Kilowatts a day (Averaged from 1-100year olds).

(Er, no you buy us out in thirty years)

Counter Proposal:

Initial Statement: We feel that the inital capitilization is completely wrong for this project. Primarily that it would take a great effort and cost to responsibly train the thousands of workers from fission to fusion. Therefore we have proposed a slower, more gradual approach.

Second, although you have the highest prices per kilowatt known, you also have the most electricly efficent populace known. Likely one has helped create the other but we are unsure which is which.

Therefore we suggest that Zap Zap and KIOF form a limited liability company, tentitively named Entech.
Entech's inital capitalization will be 2.4 Trillion USD. With the following ownership:

33% from KIOF in the form of 800 Billion USD via purchase of a stock-bond instrument

33% from Zap! Zap! in Zap! Zap! stock in the valuation of 800 Billion USD

33% will be raised by an intial public offering of stock on both the Klatchian and Silver Sky exchanges to raise 800 Billion USD

Entech will use the 800 Billion in Zap Zap stock either for sale or collatteral.

Entech will then licence from Cold Star Ltd. proven fusion technology and construct a 60000 MW Cold Fusion Power Plant to meet 14% of your current fission usage. Revenue from this plant will allow the construction of additional plants, while operations will allow for a the training of personel in fusion technology. Estimated Capital Cost of 60000 MW plant is 890 Billion USD or 1.2 Trillion USD if it has a secondary coal gasification plant added.
(This is less that the 1.64 Trillion per 60000 MW needed in your capitlization plan)

KIOF's share may be repurchased at any time by Zap Zap by redemption of the stock-Bond instrument. This bond will be for 800 Billion USD and 10% yearly intrest until redemption payable upon redemption and non-compounding. With a minimimum of five years intrest.

Cold Star Ltd Licence Fee:

5% of Revenue, with a minimum 1,000,000 USD charge per fusion reactor for operational or post operational reactors. And a 500,000 USD charge for pre-operational reactors more than 50% complete, payable upon reactor start-up.

We might be intrested in putting People's Liberation Strike Force Alpha or perhaps Gregory Sons on retainer for future services. But we will decline your proposal.

Ah shucks. Kay then.

OOC: I'd like to confirm, but I don't have time for a big huge post.

OOC: Just state 'this is an acceptable deal' and well work out some of the long term details later...really it will take eight years for you to be able to supply 100 percent of your thirty year expected electricity needs from fusion.

(Details: buyout should be about 30 years from starting date assuming a fairly high dividend payout after all the fusion reactors are built. But should be less with the nuke plants reusable parts put towards the buyout.

Of course if Zap Zap diverts funds or builds up Entech faster than planned it will take longer...

What tech lvl/timeline

KIOF is intrested in all techonology types and levels. The true questions are market, cost, risk, and potential revenue from the venture. But we shall judge those items on your proposal.

Camel Eaters:
Loved the concept, but only a real fool would go along with that deal. High Risk zero return? We don't have any Pet.com stock lying about you know.

Although we might offer 5.50 Kr for the sock puppet.

OOC: Ok

IC:
This is acceptable.

HAHAHAHAH! That made me laugh most heartily. Sorry I'm a bit new to the more corporate NS ideals. So what would you suggest in this sort of thing to make it more less foolhardy to accept?

Well...I think this might be past 2020 tech. I cannot use it, so it wouldn't be wise to give money to it if it doesn't exist.

You'll find that most Klatchian Players play MT but don't ignore FT tech. Hell we own part of Santa Barbara which is FT, severly FT actually. (We use a silghtly modfied rule where we use FT States of the Klatch when dealing with an external FT nation.

So post 2020 tech, actually that is late MT actually in my book.

Didn't we contact you recently about investing in UIFC? Actually it was National Commonwealth. We were wondering what the stock price was actually because we desire an equity postion within the UFIC.

Presently the UFIC is attempting to be a financial powerhouse. Primarily by offering credit and capital loans to companies.

KIOF is primarily an investment and LBO Private Fund desiged to take equity postions in significant and growing companies. These are diffrent, compatable tasks. The benifits of KIOF taking an equity postion within UIFC is that it would allow UFIC more captial for its credit services, as well as insight from a KIOF board members on increasing the ability of UIFC to increase their banking services for the benifit of all shareholders.

Should we add that the UIFC would have automatic access to open branches in the Federated Klatchian Coast with access to a 87 Billion person market under one unified currency if KIOF were a stockholder?

dont worry about stcok prices. But if an equal postion in the UIFC would demand giving up your company in whole to the UIFC, But this would not happen until the first main companies completely liquidated into us. The same would go for you. Your company would stay with you until the final merge. But As speaker for the UIFC, We would love to have you as an equal..... Do we have a deal......

( even after the final merger you would still control the subsidairy, But You would be know as a UIFC subsidairy.)

HAHAHAHAH! That made me laugh most heartily. Sorry I'm a bit new to the more corporate NS ideals. So what would you suggest in this sort of thing to make it more less foolhardy to accept?

I treat NS investing just like RL investing actually. A high-risk insurace policy is a tricky thing. Usually they have to pay huge premiums. The insurer then attempts to sell part of the risk off by farming out the policy to various individuals. Essentially selling the income of the premiums off for a sum of cash. Usually this lump sum payment is much smaller than the premium of the policy due to the risk. The higher the risk, the more the diffential between the sum payment and the premiums must be.

Of course the insurance company also makes money by adminstering the account and taking a bit off the top of the premium.

Now if you wanted to build a secondary insurance market to do this. Well KIOF would be intrested in investing captial to create the market, and then of course to take a percentage of the profits generated from the adminstering fees. I very much doubt we'd invest directly into an insurace deal as it really defeats our goal of gaining equity or temporary equity postions.

Note: The Sky deal above both gets our subsidary Cold Star about 100 billion USD a year in revenue, but also should garner us four to five trillion in thirty years. A return on investment of 18 percent per annum (or more) over that time period, with very low risk. (Sky attempts to nationalize things their going to discover their fusion plants don't run anymore the whole contract rewrite was about limiting our risk really)

KIOF,

How about our deal. Will you be joining the UIFC financial conglomerate?

Requirements of Proposal: 25bn USD to extend current laboratories.
Name: NuBorns Plc.
Nation of Origin: Cruxgrad
Business Type: Biological
Business Description: NuBorns is a growing company conducting research not as yet outlawed by the ECC. By studying human genetic codes, NuBorn intend to rewrite human embryos in such a way as to allow people to decide how their child will be born.
Proposed Funding Level: 150bn USD.
Share Percentage: 2.5%

( even after the final merger you would still control the subsidairy, But You would be know as a UIFC subsidairy.)

We desire to purchase your stock and be a significant minority shareholder. Our Board will not sell out, as we have previously stated to other parties.

OOC: Why in the hell do you want an LBO equity fund? I could see you wanting to make us a depositor/client. There is an 800 million stock IPO that you should be attempting to help float rather than have KIOF use another finnancial institution.

Egads man, No Bank wants to own an LBO / equity fund. It is both too high risk (as compared to loaning the LBO money) and too long term. The only bank that I know of that has any significant equity postion in anything is Charter Federal which is so quirky because 1/2 is owned by shareholders and the other half is owned by the depositors. And the equity postion is sort of a Fannie Mae investment run amok.

Add the fact that I've got too much cash on hand right now...which is why I am trying to invest it...and I, and the other investors (as this is a international fund ) have no reason to sell.

But we do have an IC reason to invest in UIFC (not an controlling stake just a nice little 5 to 10% stake.)

Sounds goos to me ... well guys what do you say? good enough?

IC:

We'd like to cancel our deal, our stockholders were shock at us and threatened to sell us entirely to The Silver Sky, we've decided not to risk that and stick with proven technology.

-Zap! Zap! Ltd.

OOC: Real worlds a bitch ain't it! :D

OOC: It was a perfectly valid deal as long as you didn't attempt to screw us, mutually benifical to both sides. Zap! Zap! would have wound up with significant profits and lower production costs of electricty.

IC: We are sorry but the agreement states that Zap! Zap! would owe us the total of the bond stock of 800 Billion plus five years intrest. As such that would be 1.2 Trillion.

However we are willing to 'settle' the matter for the return of the 800 Billion plus a 10% cancellation fee.
