Chairman of the Consultant Consultant Consultant Group:

In the future, Chinese companies' overseas investment mergers and acquisitions should pay attention to the development of low carbonization

He Mei, the vice chairman of the global think tank and the chairman of the foreign consultant group, said at the forum that under the forum that the new crown epidemic continued to spread, the trade friction continued to intensify, and the geopolitical situation was The more enterprises adopt a systematic overseas merger and acquisition strategy, on the one hand, the overcapacity is resolved, and on the other hand, it can realize the brand's influence and overseas expansion. This strategy is particularly important in the context of China's normal epidemic prevention and control and strive for the "carbon neutralization" goal.

He Mei believes that Europe is seriously underestimated, and Chinese companies' investment and acquisitions in Europe are far from enough. She quoted data from the "China Capital Overseas Investment M & A Report in 2022" that in the global investment incident in China, the entire North American region accounted for 55%, most of which were invested in the United States. China's capital investment in the entire European investment in Europe The proportion of incidents is only 12%.

However, He Mei also quoted Ernst & Young research that in 2021 after the epidemic, China participated in the European market transactions, investment and acquisitions, and began to transform from traditional manufacturing, traditional energy to new materials, high -tech manufacturing, green energy, and industrial upgrading. She said that in combination with China's double -carbon target, in the process of investing in mergers and acquisitions overseas in the future, Chinese companies should pay attention to low carbonization development and find market cooperation opportunities in the fields of energy transformation, carbon reduction and decarburization.

"Under the dual influence of the US India -Pacific Economic Framework and the prevention and control of normalized epidemics, it will indeed increase the migration of China's manufacturing industry and reduce the global share proportion, but it is also an opportunity for upgrading and transformation. Chinese companies need to be more needed than ever before. Realize transformation and upgrading with an open mentality and global vision. By better utilizing the two domestic and international markets and two resources, it enhances the independent and controllable capabilities of the industrial chain supply chain, truly find opportunities from challenges, and increase employment opportunities. "He Mei said.
