The Chinese Investment Corporation’s biggest investment last year was a 30% ($3.2 billion) stake in the gas and oil exploration and production sector of the French energy giant GDF Suez. CIC chose to take a significant share in one branch, rather than a small share in the whole group, because doing so offered both a strategic advantage (access to energy resources) and a monetary benefit (investment in dollar-denominated assets).
这一模式也有例外。去年，中投公司的最大投资项目是收购了法国能源巨头GDF Suez 30%（32亿美元）的股权。中投公司选择在一个子公司高持股，而不是整个集团的低持股，因为这样做既能提供战略优势（获得能源），又能提供货币好处（投资于美元计价资产）。
