并购整合专家和君咨询合伙人陈思南指出，资本实力是基础门槛，但运营重构与资源整合能力才是并购 成功的核心。前者能以数字化、标准化等手段破解成熟品牌的"大企业病"，后者则能凭借本土资源优势 打通供应链、渠道等关键环节，而跨境监管应对能力则保障了复杂交易的顺利推进。 值得关注的是，资本青睐的标的几乎都是外资餐饮巨头在华运营多年的业务板块，而非蒸蒸日上的新兴 品牌。在陈思南看来，这背后是清晰的选择逻辑：一是品牌稀缺性与不可复制性。麦当劳、肯德基、星 巴克等品牌在一二线城市消费者心智中占据"正统"地位，长期积累的品牌资产难以被新兴品牌短期超 越，且已形成成熟的门店网络，为后续增长奠定基础。 发酵近一年的星巴克中国出售事件终于尘埃落定。星巴克正式宣布与博裕投资达成战略合作，双方将成 立合资企业，共同运营其在中国市场的零售业务。 无独有偶，近期哈根达斯母公司亦传出拟出售中国门店业务、引入本土投资者的消息。而在更早前，中 信资本收购麦当劳中国、春华资本战略投资百胜中国，本土顶级资本频频出手"洋品牌"在华业务板块， 且这些业务板块当前都遇到不同程度的发展瓶颈，资本出手背后有怎样的逻辑？ 买方多为具备三重核心能力的成熟"操盘手" ...
