Uber Technologies Inc
Life today is tough to imagine without Uber. This app helps users catch a ride with the click of a button. The idea was brought up by Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp in 2009, and it has come a long way ever since its conception. Now a multi-billion-dollar company, Uber is not only a household name in the United States but also various parts of the globe! In 2014, a Chinese internet company called Baidu Inc. invested $600 million to help Uber expand into China, which gladly worked out.
OmniVision Technologies Inc
OmniVision Technologies Inc. and Will Semiconductor Co. Ltd entered a partnership so quietly that the public did not hear about it until an entire year later. The two companies had already made transactions worth $2.1 billion by the time that the story broke out. Since their business was so secretive, a lot of details around the sale are relatively unknown. However, it is known that OmniVision was approaching different Chinese investors in 2015, which was around the time when Chinese companies teamed up to buy the California-based company for $1.9 billion.
