Recently, this acquisition and LYC-Schaeffler one were often talked about for their potential to threat national economic security or even national security. To deal with similar acquisitions, state authorities had published relevant provisions under which LYC-Schaeffler acquisition were greatly hindered, while ThyssenKrupp-Tianrun one was approved by local government.
However, outsiders had no access to the above mentioned information before. What they saw is another domestic strong enterprises being acquired by foreign enterprises.

In the joint venture, Merrill Lynch only invested by cash, having 40% of the company shares. In 2006, the last year of the joint venture, Merrill Lynch began to find ways to transfer their holding shares to cash. As Tianrun Crankshaft could not afford to purchase the 40% shares held by Merrill Lynch, Merrill Lynch had to find another buyer of the shares. ThyssenKrupp is the right one.
At that moment, ThyssenKrupp were seeking opportunities to enter Chinese crankshaft market, so Merrill Lynch reached consensus with them very soon. Then, ThyssenKrupp began to contact Tianrun Crankshaft for acquisition details.
