中國第三大石油公司，國營的中國國家海外石油公司(CNOOC)，提出以185億美元倂購美國Unocal石油公司。CNOOC所提價碼，比美國第二大石油公司Chevron Corp.所提價格要多出15億美元。 這是到目前為止，中國公司進軍國際企業最大的一筆買賣。人們可預期它將引起的政治效應。如果美國政府相關機構批准這項交易，將成為中、美政、經關係的重要指標和里程碑。 http://news.yahoo.com/s/afp/20050623/ts_afp/chinausoilcompanymergerchevron cnoocunocal;_ylt=Aro33QsuWIZbMeAidMPi1ZAPLBIF;_ylu=X3oDMTBiMW04NW9m BHNlYwMlJVRPUCUl China's CNOOC offers 18.5 billion dollars for Unocal BEIJING (AFP) - State-run energy firm China National Offshore Oil Corporation (CNOOC) announced a bid to buy US oil major Unocal for 18.5 billion dollars cash, trumping a rival offer by Chevron Corp. CNOOC said it was proposing a friendly merger, offering 67 dollars a share for the California-based company in a deal that underlines China's drive to secure energy resources overseas to sustain its rapid economic growth. It tops the cash-and-shares offer Chevron hammered out with Unocal by 1.5 billion dollars using Unocal's June 21 closing share price of 64.85 dollars. Chevron, the number-two US oil company, received US regulatory approval on June 10 for its bid. Unocal said it would evaluate the CNOOC proposal but reiterated that its earlier recommendation to shareholders to accept the Chevron offer remained in place.
