  Jiang Xipei expressed that before an enterprise considered Greenfield, or M&A, it should first distinguish itself in its familiar market at home. Every industry and every enterprise had the same opportunities. Resources, talents, capital, target companies, destinations, etc., should be considered accordingly. It also needed to have a professional team and learn from the success of some benchmarking enterprises. Although going global was inevitable, it still needed to attach importance to risk control and steadily and continuously develop the enterprise.

  When talking about the synergy between international investment and the local market, Jiang Xipei pointed out that China had a large market, and Chinese enterprises should first make themselves count as one of the best at home, and then consider extending their businesses to the European market and the North American market. Far East was developing rapidly at a steady pace, but we still needed to do a good job in our main business. In addition, Far East had also invested nearly 340 companies over the years, 100 of which had been listed. As a Chinese enterprise, Far East was very optimistic about the domestic market, so did the acquisition and merger opportunities.

  Jiang Xipei stated that in seizing the opportunities “on the doorstep”, the emerging problems were also our opportunities. Only by solving the needs of customers, solving the pain points of the whole society and materially solving their problems, could the value of enterprises be reflected. Far East was also one of the leading private enterprises with great potential among the private enterprises, but we felt that there were many areas for improvement.

  When it came to the review of foreign investment, especially the impact of the review of M&A, Jiang Xipei believed that now we were all in a community with a shared future for mankind and we couldn’t run solely. If some industries or enterprises were restricted, it might be because of information asymmetry for the government or industry association considering the results from different perspectives. A country often tended to protect home-grown companies. But if we wanted to promote China’s process of engaging with the world and social development and work for the wellbeing of the people substantially, he suggested that the government should not set too many restrictions. Restrictions could only bring backwardness, while opening-up brought us better development.
