DESCRIPTION:<a href="http://popcornclubshanghai.com/event/the-art-science-o
 f-mergers-acquisitions-46076/register">The Art & Science Of Mergers & Acqu
 isitions</a>\nIf you were buying a business\, how would you decide what it
 ’s really worth? And whether it’s worth buying at all? Why do companie
 s acquire other companies\, and what separates a smart deal from an expens
 ive mistake? Join Britt\, a former venture capitalist with years of experi
 ence building tech startups\, for an accessible exploration of mergers and
  acquisitions\, or M&A\, with a focus on the US. Using real company financ
 ial reports\, we’ll learn how to look beyond headline revenue to underst
 and profits\, cash flow\, debt and the quality of a business\, and explore
  how a deal’s price and financing shape its potential returns. Then we
 ’ll put those ideas into practice. Working in teams\, you’ll evaluate 
 a potential acquisition\, weigh the risks and present your decision: buy o
 r pass\, at what maximum price\, and why? Britt will challenge your reason
 ing and help uncover what could undermine an apparently attractive deal\, 
 from dependence on a few customers to overly optimistic assumptions. We’
 ll also explore the roles of buyers\, lenders and advisers\, and how peopl
 e enter the business of acquiring companies. No finance or investment know
 ledge is necessary: the concepts will be explained as we go. Expect practi
 cal analysis\, thoughtful discussion and a clearer understanding of how bu
 sinesses are valued—and how major financial decisions are made. 如果
 你要买一家公司，你会怎么判断它到底值多少钱？又怎
 么判断它到底值不值得买？公司为什么要收购别的公司
 ，一笔聪明的交易和一个昂贵的错误之间，差别到底在
 哪？跟着 Britt 来一场好懂的探索吧。他是前风险投资人
 ，也有多年做科技创业的经验。这次我们聊并购，也就
 是 M&A，重点放在美国。我们会用真实的公司财报，学着
 越过新闻标题上的营收，去理解利润、现金流、债务和
 一家公司的质量，也会看看一笔交易的价格和融资方式
 ，是怎么塑造它可能的回报的。 然后我们会把这些想法
 用起来。分组之后，你们要评估一个潜在的收购对象，
 权衡风险，然后给出你们的决定：买还是不买，最高出
 价多少，为什么？Britt 会挑战你们的推理，也会帮你们
 挖出那些可能拖垮一笔看起来很有吸引力的交易的东西
 ，从依赖少数几个客户，到过于乐观的假设。我们还会
 聊买家、贷款方和顾问各自扮演什么角色，以及人们是
 怎么进入收购公司这个行业的。不需要任何金融或投资
 知识：概念会一边聊一边讲清楚。会有实战分析、有想
 法的讨论，也会让你更清楚地理解公司是怎么被估值的
 ——以及重大的财务决定是怎么做出来的。
