ZTE denies report of handset-business joint venture talks

Briefing by News4U · First published

ZTE denied a report about a proposed handset-business partnership with an unnamed internet company and Shanghai state-owned capital, ITHome reported, citing Guancha's enquiry to the company. ZTE said the report was untrue. The earlier Leiphone report, relayed by ITHome, had cited an employee at a related company as saying the internet company proposed investing about 8 billion yuan while ZTE sought a business valuation of about 40 billion yuan. Those figures and the proposed venture were claims in the earlier report, which had described final terms as still under discussion. [1] [2]
