When Pfizer has $100bn to spend and even Warren Buffett is discussing $50bn deals, a pair of Asian bids totalling $2.5bn may look like mere crumbs for bankers stuck in the boondocks of the merger world. But the deals in question – a southeast Asian offer for Australia’s Goodman Fielder last week and a Chinese approach this week for Aquila Resources from the same country – suggest the stirrings of Asia’s own animal spirits.
当辉瑞(Pfizer)准备拿出1000亿美元进行收购,甚至沃伦•巴菲特(Warren Buffett)也在讨论500亿美元的交易时,两笔总额为25亿美元的亚洲交易,看起来或许只是给困在并购世界边缘地带的银行家们准备的“面包屑”。但这两笔拟议中的交易表明,亚洲自己的动物精神在觉醒。这两笔交易分别是一家东南亚企业对澳大利亚Goodman Fielder的拟议收购,以及一家manbetx3.0 公司对澳大利亚Aquila Resources的拟议收购。
