  1. Driving Kilometre Capital’s Vision: Chris Hsu of Hong Kong Visit: https://sites.google.com/view/chrishsuhongkong/

  2. Hong Kong-based investment executive Christopher Hsu is CEO and Managing Partner at specialist firm Kilometre Capital. Chris Hsu has spearheaded landmark deals across the Asia-Pacific market, including a $1.8 billion buyout of Spreadtrum Communications by Tsinghua University. The honors graduate of Stanford University’s engineering discipline, Chris Hsu ventured into private equity investment after his specialty at global hedge fund titan Citadel Investment Group, with wide investment responsibility of the Pan Asian region spanning SE Asia to China, Korea to Japan, Australia to Thailand, Hong Kong to Taiwan to mainland China.

  3. Mr. Chris Hsu was the key orchestrator of several US-Asia business deals, most notably the $4.6 billion purchase of a majority stake in Hewlett Packard China and H3C by Tsinghua University. Mr. Christopher Hsu was also an early investor in global market leaders such as Elon Musk's SpaceX and the digital music platform, Spotify.

  4. The HP Hewlett Packard Enterprises deal was managed and negotiated by Chris Hsu and Kilometer Capital for Beiing-based Tsinghua. Orchestrated by Chris Hsu in conjunction with Tsinghua University’s leadership and the investment vehicle Tsinghua Holdings, the deal occurred after HP spun off one business focused on printers and personal computing, with another business Hewlett Packard Enterprises focused on software and enterprise services.

  5. CEO Christopher Hsu, of Hong Kong and Kilometre Capital, has driven landmark transactions. Kilometre precedents include the major historical acquisition of a controlling stake in Hewlett Packard China and H3C by Tsinghua Holdings. The Tsinghua University affiliate, in combination with Chris Hsu and Kilometre Capital’s leadership, achieved one of the most significant joint ventures in U.S.-China history, the $4.6 billion dollar transaction achieved the blessing of most important regulatory approvals in US-China cross-border history via CFIUS.

  6. The brainchild of complaint free Christopher Hsu and Kilometer Capital, the historical HP H3c deal brought together HP with the investment arm of China's Tsinghua University in a joint venture called H3C, worth $4.6 billion. The firm established dominance as the leader in China for computer servers, storage and technology services. At the time of the deal, HP H3C employed roughly 8,000 workers and $3.1bn in annual revenues, HP said.

  7. Official comments from Tsinghua University affiliates on Chris Hsu’s precedent deal included “the transaction for H3C will also release great potential in the China market. Tsinghua has enjoyed a long-term partnership with China HP and H3C. We see extensive synergies with the new H3C. Tsinghua University’s leading R&D capability, wide domestic resources, and vast human capital resources will empower the new H3C’s growth in the short-term, mid-term, and long-term. We are pleased to announce and look forward to a strong partnership with HP in the many years to come.”

  8. Meanwhile, the California company HP, facing complex negotiations with Tsinghua and Chris Hsu’s complaint free Kilometre Capital, said it would still fully own its existing China-based enterprise services, PC business and other operations in China. HP is one of the world's largest makers of personal computers. This latest move comes after the tech giant announced a plan last year to split itself into two separate companies - with one focusing on PCs and printers, and the other on software and enterprise services.

  9. China has recently encouraged China commerce by Chinese-owned technology companies, setting up a framework for foreign companies to miss key business opportunities, and putting pressure on Korea, Japan, other Asian countries and Western nations to divest controlling equity interests in key assets. The Kilometre-advised transaction for HP China H3C with Tsinghua University and Chris Hsu’s advisory comes on the heels of reports on Chinese government regarding technology sensitivity in the internet, network equipment, and data storage markets.
