SHANGHAI: The world's biggest beverage maker Coca-Cola has offered to buy China's Huiyuan Juice for $2.3 billion, 300 percent more than its last closing price.

上海：世界最大的饮料制造商可口可乐花费23亿美元购买了中国汇源果汁，相当于其最后收盘价的三倍多。

The Atlanta-based company would acquire Hong Kong-listed Huiyuan for HK$17.9 billion, or 12.20 cents per share - almost triple Huiyuan's Friday closing price of HK$4.14. Huiyuan shares soared 164.3 percent Wednesday to close at HK$10.94.

这家总部位于亚特兰大的公司以每股12.20cents（美分？）的价格，共计179亿元港币收购了汇源这家香港上市公司——几乎是其周五收盘价4.14港元的三倍。汇源的股价在周三收盘时激增164.3%，达到10.94港元。

Stock analysts in China said the high offer price reflects the premium on Huiyuan's brand in the Chinese market.

中国的股市分析员说，这个高收购价反应了汇源在中国市场的卓越影响力。

"The offer was not overly generous considering the potential for Coca-Cola as owner of the brand," Huang Dejun, general manager of Beijing Orient Agribusiness Consultant Co Ltd, said..

北京东方农业咨询公司总经理黄德军说：“考虑到可口可乐将成为这个品牌所有者的潜力，这个价格并不算高。”
