清華紫光23億收購惠普旗下新華三公司

US tech giant Hewlett-Packard is selling a 51% stake in its Chinese server business for $2.3bn to Tsinghua Holdings.
美國科技巨頭惠普將把在華服務器業務的51%股份出售給清華控股，作價23億美元。

The deal brings together HP with the investment arm of China's Tsinghua University in a joint venture called H3C, worth $4.5bn.
這項交易將使惠普和清華大學的投資部門共同持有價值45億美元的合資公司新華三（H3C）。

The new firm is being touted as the leader in China for computer servers, storage and technology services.
這家新公司被宣揚爲中國服務器、存儲和技術服務業務的領頭羊。

It will have about 8,000 workers and $3.1bn in annual revenues, HP said.
惠普表示，該公司將擁有約8000名員工，年收入達31億美元。

"HP is making a bold move to win in today's China," said chief executive Meg Whitman in a statement. "Partnering with Tsinghua, one of China's most respected institutions, the new H3C will be able to drive even greater innovation for China, in China."
惠普CEO梅格·惠特曼表示：“惠普爲贏得今天的中國市場邁出了勇敢的一步。清華是中國最受歡迎的大學之一，和清華的合作能使新華三公司爲中國、在中國做出更偉大的創新。”

H3C will become a subsidiary of Unisplendour, which is the publicly traded unit of Tsinghua Holdings.
新華三將成爲清華控股的上市部門清華紫光旗下的一家子公司。

Meanwhile, the California company, which is one of the world's largest makers of personal computers, said it would still fully own its existing China-based enterprise services, PC business and other operations in China.
同時，作爲世界最大的個人電腦製造商之一，總部位於美國加州的惠普公司表示，它將繼續全額持有在華的現有業務，包括企業服務、個人電腦等。

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.
在此次變動前，惠普於去年宣佈將拆分爲兩家獨立的公司。一家專注於個人電腦和打印機業務，另一家則負責軟件和企業服務。

It also follows reports of the Chinese government worried about US cyberspying through tech firms and encouraging Chinese businesses to use local technology services.
此前，有報道稱中國政府對美國通過科技公司進行網絡間諜行爲表示擔憂，並鼓勵中國公司使用本土的技術服務。

The sale of the Chinese unit is expected to be completed by the end of this year and is subject to shareholder vote and regulatory approvals.
此次出售需要通過股東投票和監管部門批准，預計將於今年年底前完成。
