What rich families really educate their boys on:
-never look expensive look unbothered.
-don't explain yourself, power never over-explains.
-keep assets boring and pleasures private.
-learn which laws matter and which ones are for poor people only.
-never fall in love before you understand leverage.
-your surname opens doors. Don't embarrass it.
-cash is for emergencies. Credit is for opportunities.
-friends are categorized: useful, neutral, entertainment.
-if something is loud, emotional, or viral, its already a bad deal.
-always know who actually owns the room. It's rarely the loudest person.
-don't argue with broke people about money. Don't argue with emotional people about logic.
-learn taxes before you learn multiplication tables properly.
-you don't work hard forever. You work hard early to stop later.
-never let pleasure habits become visible patterns.
-reputation is currency. One scandal costs more than ten failures.
-silence is safer than honesty in most rooms.
-if you can't control your sleep, hunger, lust, or temper, you can't control money.
-marry someone who improves your bloodline, not your mood.
-keep one legal problem away from disaster at all times.
-always have an exit plan. For jobs, cities, county, relationships, even friendships.
Just rules whispered under their roofs.
M&A due diligence is important: if you miss things, even little piglets can grow into a headache worth hundreds of millions of dollars
Today in my MBA M&A class, I discuss one of my favorite DD stories: the $200M+ piglet problem Koch Industries faced when it acquired Purina Mills
Purina was seen as a critical deal in Koch's plans to create a national network of wet animal feed mills. There were great synergies projected, and the $670M deal was highly leveraged.
Going into the transaction, Koch execs knew that Purina owned some piglets that it would buy to sell to pig farmers as a part of a business model that had the farmers locked into purchasing only Purina pig feed.
The piglet thing was seen as "strange" but also as only a small part of Purina's business that amounted to "limited exposure" and as the deal was rather rushed and strategically important, Koch didn't pay much attention to the piglet business.
Yet as the hog prices crashed in 1997 from about $0.53 to $0.10 a pound, it turned out that the farmers contracting to buy the pigs from Purina had an option to walk away. And it so turned out that the size of the problem was much bigger than expected because Purina was contracting for millions of pigs.
Very quickly, Purina was facing hundreds of millions of dollars in losses on the piglet trade. Given the degree of the leverage, Koch decided to put Purina into a bancruptcy and to walk away, claiming it was a separate business from Koch Industries. The lenders, who depended on Koch's reputation and balance sheet, fought back, and from a legal perspective had a strong case for piercing the corporate veil. Humiliated, Koch Industries agreed to invest more money into Purina restructuring, while at the same time taking further restructuring losses and dismantling much of its agro business.
Moral of the story? Pay attention in DD, because even seemingly irrelevant and immaterial quirky piglet contracts can turn out to be a major deal-destroying factor down the road.
