Welcome again, Peter ...

It seems that Tim is offering us a "partnership" ... ;)

I'm negotiating with Richard to buy the steck license, and maybe Geobra, if he has the time.

The last time I checked, because of the rising Euro, the deflated US Dollar and expanding Playmobil sales worldwide, Horst Brandstätter's assets now total more than one billion US Dollars.

Are we looking at a three way split here, Tim?

Perhaps you, Peter and I could think a bit smaller and just look at buying all the Steck moulds. Each mould is probably worth about ten thousand US Dollars. I'm sure that Heather could tell us exactly how many different Steck pieces there are, but lets just suppose that there are only about 300. That would mean that we would each have to come up with about one million US Dollars apiece.

Tim, please tell us what our next step is ... ;)

All the best,
Richard

Tim, please tell us what our next step is ... ;)


1) I create 3,000 (Canadian, South American, and Russian) paper investors who each agree to invest $1,000 worth of capital in 300 shell companies (various countries) that each agree to invest $10,000 into 30 shell companies (various countries) that each agree to invest $1,000,000 in 3 shell companies (German, French, and Macau) that each agree to invest $1,000,000 in PlastiCastle Ltd.

2) I then pay (er, convince) an acquaintance of mine who runs one of those homegrown technical analysis stock recommendation newsletters to praise Geobra, praise the volumes of capital I have already attracted, and praise the inevitable growth potential of a spinoff from a company (Geobra) that has already earned a billion dollars in equity.

3) I then use the money that flows in from that to print PlastiCastle Ltd. order catalogs, which I take to Tajikistan, where I introduce eager new capitalists to the miracle of how, if they each sell three sets of steck starter kits to 3 people, they can collect 2% of the proceeds plus residuals on down the pyramid--I mean, line.

4) As the revenue begins to trickle in from that, I return to America with news that I have discovered ancient golden tablets in Tajikistan, buried by an even more ancient Buddhist sect, from which I have learned a mystical new sort of yoga that makes people rich if they just believe in the power of positive thought.  I use the proceeds from Tajikistan to produce DVDs, books, and a yoga institute franchise.  From that point, the typical legion of followers this sort of fraud/faith attracts will be more than willing to pony up the $3,000,000+ dollars I need to buy the steck molds (which, if constructed in the secret way that Geobra has long sought to suppress, will unlock the secret to the Golden Path of Heaven (GPH)) and also I can buy back the stock shares (if I feel like it) from the folks who bought the stocks through my acquaintance's newsletter. 

And, you and Peter don't have to do anything except maybe record testimonials about what a great thing Golden Tablet Yoga is and how through it you acquired the discipline of spirit to buy a house in the Virgin Islands, among other places.

I think this sounds pretty foolproof, and I just ordered a Berlitz Tajikistani phrasebook from Amazon for $14.99.

I'll keep you informed of my progress.
 
-Tim

Well Richard and Tim, don't get me started ;)  You know, I do know some folks in the injection moulding industry (inlcuding mould making, upto ceremic moulds) than can do short production runs ... albeit in PRC  :no:  ;D
