This development with Citic is not new. The public were informed (cryptically) that there were not 3 or more bids for CNIFP, so it was Citic and GPG Forests I guess.

 

Analysts tell us that CItic has the money , GPGF has to find a (large) partner to help fund it's deal to go thru. Who is this/these unknown partner(so)???

 

My sub-plot theories have been blown out of the water, and I am at a complete loss now as to why GPG is envolved. If GPG want's to be a menace in these negotiations why would it spend its money without a sound plan as Gibbs tell us so, therefore it  must be an overall  evolving objective they are after.

 

Interesting that GPG has extended its offer for partial t/o of RBC until the 29 Nov 2002 .

 

Interesting as well are the trade figures announced showing a rapid increase of forestry products being exported from NZ.  China becoming a major buyer. What we were not told is how much we are selling our wood for.

Interesting times

Where to now, with Chinese set to take CNIP?

 

Your quote:

I still find it intriguing that they would put in a partial takeover for RUB knowing it would fail (smoke screen for something else)?????????????

 

Was Gibb's, only giving the media the crumbs?
