Beijing Enterprises Holdings chief executive Zhang Honghai has dismissed as exaggerated claims that the firm's acquisition of Beijing Gas would become mired in restructuring, saying it is natural for a company to face difficulties during a restructure. Mr Zhang also said it was logical for Beijing Enterprises to offload part of its shares to finance the asset buy-back from the listed arm. The parent company reduced its shareholding from 66.51 per cent to 60.08 per cent at the end of last month.
