极少有人尝试在香港进行敌意收购，在香港许多规模较小的上市公司，都是最大的股东持有控股权。但陈宁宁表示，如果她获得成功，就计划进行大举筹资，并收购规模较小的竞争对手。
　　Hostile takeover attempts are extremely rare in Hong Kong, where in many smaller listed companies the largest shareholder owns a controlling stake. But if she succeeds, Ms Chen says she plans to aggressively raise funds and acquire smaller rivals.
　　“如果失败，我将退出该公司。我还有其它计划，比如收购另一家工厂，但我还没傻到在没做最后努力之前就放弃的地步。”
　　“If I fail, I will exit the company. I have other plans such as buying another mill, but I am not so silly as to give up before this one last try.”
　　中国东方集团董事会(除陈宁宁以外)已表示，她对该公司的竞购是主动进行的，而且“没有得到董事会的支持”。上周，董事会建议股东拒绝此次收购。目前未能联系到韩敬远予以置评。
　　China Oriental’s board, excluding Ms Chen, has said her bid for the company was unsolicited and “did not have the support of the board”. Last week, it advised shareholders to reject the offer. Mr Han could not be reached for comment.
　　陈宁宁的出价相当于每股3港元，远低于该股上周五3.59港元的收盘价。在今年2月首次宣布此次收购交易时，中国东方集团的股价为2.24港元，陈宁宁声称，最近的涨幅“与(她的)报价有关，不会持续下去”。
　　Ms Chen’s offer price amounts to HK$3 per share, well below Friday’s closing price of HK$3.59. China Oriental shares traded at HK$2.24 when the takeover was first announced in February, and Ms Chen claims the recent gains were “related to [her] offer and not sustainable”.
　　陈宁宁的竞购被称作是私营行业对中国政府的首次回应之一，中国政府正努力将全国260家钢铁公司整合成规模更大、更具竞争力的集团。国有控股的武汉钢铁(Wuhan Iron & Steel)和鞍钢(Angang)等公司已开始着手进行并购交易。
　　 Ms Chen’s bid has been billed as one of the first private-sector responses to Beijing’s efforts to consolidate the nation’s 260 iron and steel companies into larger, more competitive groups. State-controlled Wuhan Iron & Steel and Angang, among others, have already embarked on mergers and acquisition deals.
　　陈宁宁表示：“5年内，中国钢铁业将进行整合，并出现超大型钢铁公司。”
　　“In five years’ time there will be consolidation and mega steel companies in China.” Ms Chen says.
　　“如果你不收购其它公司，你就会被别人收购。”
　　“If you don’t acquire others, you will be acquired.”
