In 2011,China Railway Construction Corporation Limited's international engineering company(hereinafter referred to as"China Railway Construction Enterprise")officially launched a comprehensive acquisition of an infrastructure contractor in the Gabonese Republic of Africa,with the acquisition target amount of 100 million euros.The target company is one of the largest infrastructure contractors in Gabon,and has a long-term and close cooperative relationship with the Gabonese government.By acquiring 100%of the equity of the target company,China Railway Construction will become the actual contractor of several large-scale infrastructure projects contracted by the Gabonese government,such as"n-kilometer railway"and"n-meter bridge".All proposed road and bridge facilities will cover multiple major cities,including the capital of Gabon,Libreville.This project also becomes a typical case of a subsidiary of China Railway Construction Group contracting large-scale overseas projects through acquisition.

China Railway Construction Corporation(CRCC)is one of the most powerful and large-scale large-scale comprehensive construction groups in China and even the world.It ranks first among the"225 largest contractors in the world"and seventh among the"Top 500 Chinese Enterprises".It is the largest engineering contractor in China and also the largest overseas engineering contractor in China.Gaopeng Law Firm,as the Chinese legal adviser and global coordinator for the project of China Railway Construction Corporation,works closely with Orui Law Firm(the international legal adviser for the project)and PROJECT LAWYERS(the legal adviser for the project in Gabon)to fully promote the smooth progress of the acquisition and construction work.

In a short period of one and a half months,Gaopeng Law Firm mobilized its global cooperative lawyer network and quickly formed a lawyer team including offices in Paris,Geneva,and Libreville.Lawyer teams from multiple cities around the world acted in concert and cooperated closely,participating in the negotiations and negotiations between China Railway Construction and the acquiree throughout the process.Based on identifying the laws of the host country,the design of merger and acquisition tools and the production of contracting schemes quickly led to a preliminary agreement between the two parties.At the beginning of 2012,Gao Peng lawyer and China Railway Construction staff went to the Gabon project site to conduct a two-week legal due diligence,issued a detailed due diligence report on the legal issues and related risk factors involved in the project,proposed effective solutions,and fully demonstrated Gao Peng lawyer's resource advantages and professional skills in the field of international mergers and acquisitions and overseas engineering contracting.

With the joint efforts of the Gaopeng lawyer team,the project has progressed smoothly.Gao Peng's lawyer's dedication,efficiency,and professional level have also been highly praised by clients.In the project progress planning table,FEDIC engineering professional lawyers in the Gaopeng team will continue to assist clients in effectively completing the aforementioned infrastructure project construction tasks,accumulating valuable experience for Chinese enterprises in"going global",and contributing to China's overseas engineering construction.Although the road is difficult,we march forward with confidence.
