13. Value of 91 Wireless Network.
2): Baidu’s Rivalry: Qihoo 360 tried to
prevent this acquisition. 360’s owner
flew to Fujian to negotiate with 91
Wireless with higher bid price.
3): Baidu used Money to “buy time.”
Mobile Internet market is vital. Baidu has
no time to build a new large app
distributor to compete with Qihoo 360.
4): Alibaba, Tencent, and 360 were all
actively fighting for 91 wireless. At the
night before deal day, Alibaba was still
negotiating with a higher bid price.
Market Share
1): 91 Wireless is in fact not the
largest App distributor. 360 has the
largest market share. The acquisition
price may have been too high.

• Mengniu can rapidly gain market shares in infant formula
market, from less 1% to over 7% and ride the strong
momentum of this market
• The acquisition will enrich Mengniu's product portfolio
• Channel coverage expansion. Both parties can use their
sales channels to cross-sell each other‘s products. Yashili
can leverage Mengniu’s channel network to further
penetrate into lower-tier cities and rural market
• Reduce competition from local brand who are active at
south of China, which will lead to more savings on
advertising and promotion

● The success of the deal might start to change the
perspective that the U.S. is not open for business
to the Chinese (WSJ).
● The deal will increase exports of American
products to China to face its growing demand and
compensate for the low efficiency and quality of
private pork suppliers in China.
● China can grow more mature in the pork genetics
technology by learning from U.S.
Result:
● Shuanghui International applies for Hong Kong IPO
● At a fundraising size of $5 billion, Shuanghui's IPO would be Asia's largest offering in two years.
