TOKYO, JAPAN, 1998 APR 27 (NB). Egan Systems Inc. says it has
agreed to enter into negotiations to acquire China Business Resources Co.
Ltd. (CBR), a Hong Kong based operator of a large business database on
China.
Representatives of the two companies recently met in Atlanta, Georgia,
and concluded a deal under which CBR will resell Egan's COBOL
computer language products in China. The second phase of the talks will be
negotiations in Hong Kong and Beijing in May for Egan Systems to acquire
this fast growing company, said Egan in a statement.
CBR, with offices in Hong Kong, Beijing and Shenzhen, is developing what
it believes will be the "Chinese Yahoo" web directory and search engine,
said Egan.
