Negotiations between Blackstone (BX.US) and NEW WORLD DEV (00017.HK) encountered obstacles because the Cheng family, which is at the helm, is unwilling to relinquish control, Bloomberg quoted insiders as saying.

Blackstone has proposed injecting approx. US$2.5 billion into a special purpose vehicle, thereby becoming the largest shareholder of NEW WORLD DEV, while the Cheng family would invest US$1-1.5 billion, the report quoted sources as saying. As the Cheng family explores deals with other investors without giving up control, the pace of recent negotiations has slowed.
