Cash back to parent company
Posted: Thu Aug 03, 2017 3:36 pm
Hello,
Same as Apple, I'd like to create an assets management subsidiary to which I inject my huge excedent of cash.
With this subsidiary I will invest the cash into the stock market and give the parent company the dividends of the profit buying-selling shares.
Now my problem is if suddenly I decide that with the parent company I'm going to buy a big competitor.
In that case I need my money back from the subsidiary, and as far as I know there's no financial tool to achieve this in the game.
Ideally, the subsidiary should be able to sell all the stocks it's been managing, convert them to cash, and distribute them as dividends (since the parent owns 100% this would be the same than transfering the money back). If this money has to be taxed, it's still OK as long as I can get it back to the parent.
Is it possible to add an option to the finantial actions of the subsidiary like "distribute extraordinary dividend"?
------------------------------------------------------------
Another thing I want to ask, because the late game has to be real fun, is if it's possible to shorten the numbers when they become too big (profit over 1 trillion, huge market capitalizations, etc). I can imagine some of them won't fit the available space and things can get messy.
Could there be an option to check and uncheck working in millions as unit of cash? So instead of 1.535.350.258.128 $ it becomes 1.535.350 M $.
Thanks in advance for looking into this.
