I. Overseas investment

Foreign investment refers to the activities in which investors invest or provide guarantees with assets and rights such as currency, securities, physical objects, intellectual property or technology, equity and creditor's rights, and obtain overseas ownership, management and other related rights and interests. China's overseas investment began at the beginning of reform and opening up. However, at that time, the balance of payments was under great pressure, foreign exchange funds were in short supply, investors were single (mainly state-owned enterprises), and international market experience was insufficient. Therefore, overseas investment is mainly to set up trading companies or window companies, and the investment scale is small. Over the past 20 years, China's overseas investment has grown from scratch, especially since the mid-1990s, China's overseas investment has shown a rapid development trend.

Second, the investment mode of overseas investment

1. Areas where China allows enterprises to invest abroad. According to the national macroeconomic guidance, the industries involved in China enterprises' overseas investment have developed from the initial focus on trade to the fields of resource development, industrial and agricultural production and processing, engineering contracting, assembly enterprises, transportation, finance and insurance, medical and health care, tourism and catering industry.

2. Legal organizational forms of overseas investment. The organizational form of investment should be within the sovereign jurisdiction of the country where the investment is located and should be handled in accordance with the laws and regulations of that country on investment. But no matter where you invest, the legal form of limited liability company is undoubtedly the best way to control legal risks, limit and reduce economic responsibilities.

3. Offshore company model. Under the pressure of the international community, "offshore company paradise" has begun to reform its registration management mode. However, the number of people choosing British Virgin Islands, Cayman, China, Hong Kong, Bahamas, Seychelles and Delaware is still increasing. According to statistics, in recent years, China, Hongkong, China, Virgin Islands and the United States are the countries and regions with the largest foreign direct investment in China. Especially in order to achieve the purpose of overseas listing, many domestic private enterprises have adopted the curve method, which has quickly become the highlight of the securities market.

4.M&A method. Mergers and acquisitions are generally nothing more than expanding market share, crowding out competitors, improving profit margins, diversifying investment risks, striving for a certain brand and so on. For China enterprises, there are other purposes, such as obtaining ready-made sales channels, circumventing European and American trade barriers (anti-dumping measures, quota restrictions), and using European and American senior labor. The most basic forms of M&A are equity transfer and asset transfer. M&A's equity transfer is different from the general equity transfer. M&A's equity transfer is to transfer all or most of the equity of the enterprise, so that the acquirer actually becomes the new owner of the enterprise. Asset transfer refers to the transfer of enterprises (mainly small enterprises) or some enterprises as property.
