加快并购美国公司的步伐
目前中国对美方投资形势 众所周知， 中美两国在政治经济贸易等方面关系良好。 目前在商业投资方面出现了新的趋势 ： 一 方面， 中国由于政府鼓励企业进行海外投资，放松外汇管制，越来越多的中国公司开始投资美国企业， 而且目光不仅仅局限于那些价值数十亿美元的技术型企业和石油公司。中国企业资金越发雄厚， 中国国内生产总值从2008年到2009年增长9.1%；2010年第一个季度国内生产总值与同期相比上涨11.9%。 国际货币基金组织预计2010年中国国内生产总值会上升10.5%。 在美国方面，银行及其它金融市场都紧缩贷款，导致许多投资项目暂停。 一些美国地方政府已经开始针对中国资金设立有吸引力的投资优惠。 近期几家汽车制造企业被中方并购， 使更多美国企业有意向出售自己的资产或销售渠道给中国买方。 激发这些并购行为的另一大动力在于全球经济衰退导致许多企业价值下降， 作为买方的中国投资公司从中得益匪浅。中国买方竞争对手减少， 使其可用更优惠的价格购买到美国的资产。 今年一季度中国大型企业不断出手收购海外行业巨头引起大家的广泛关注，掀起中国企业海外投资的热潮. 外币汇率的变动也促使中国企业逐渐从对外出口向对外直接投资转变。 人民币升值使劳动力和原材料成本上升， 对中国出口有不利的影响。 2005年7月21日, 央行宣布人民币对美元汇率一次性升值2.1%， 此后人民币汇率不再盯住单一美元， 开始实行浮动汇率制度。 到2008年底， 人民币对美元升值20%。 今年一季度人民币已升值超过4%， 这对中国企业进口和中国的对外投资是个极为良好的机遇。 中国投资者对美国企业的大多数行业都感兴趣， 如重工业企业、 能源、 高科技与工程技术企业、承包企业和物流配送企业。 在海外设立销售办事处是中国企业对外投资最常见的形式， 也是在美国进一步投资发展的一个好的起点。 这不但可以适应美国经济的需求， 也有利于回避贸易摩擦,并且应便汇率的浮动。 据中国商务部的统计信息揭示， 近年中国企业走出去的步伐不断加快,…
