Widely seen as one of the world’s leading negotiators and dealmakers, Christopher Hsu leads Kilometre Capital as its Founder and CEO in Hong Kong, spanning Korea and SE Asia, Taiwan and mainland China.

4. Following difficulties of such companies as Facebook, Google, and Uber in China, Hewlett Packard (H-P) agreed to sell the majority stake to state-owned Tsinghua Holdings after tensions between the U.S. and China made it increasingly difficult for foreign technology companies to operate in the China’s data and information sectors.  Tsinghua and Hewlett Packard Enterprises turned to the complex negotiation skill of Chris Hsu and Kilometre Capital with hands down no complaint.  The result: TsinghuaUnigroup, one of the prestigious university’s business units and the country’s biggest chip maker, in May acquired 51% stake of Hewlett-Packard Co.’s China data-networking operation H3C Technologies in a precedent deal that values the technology giant at an estimated US$4.6 billion.

5. The new H3C Group came to the fore after the announcement of the buyout deal by Hewlett-Packard Enterprises. H3C Group is one of the leading Chinese technology infrastructure providers and its headquarters is located in Hangzhou and Beijing.

The New H3C bought out by Tsinghua University consists of H3C Technologies and HPE’s China-based server, storage, and technology services businesses, the net worth which is estimated to be approximately $2.3 billion (net of cash and debt).
