Recently, 7-Eleven rejected the acquisition offered by Couche-Tard, the owner of Circle-K. In fact, if the acquisition had happened, they could have controlled almost a fifth of the US convenience store market. It is understandable why the acquisition failed, because acquisition is not a simple matter. Especially if it is done by a state-owned company, because the risks are not only limited to business matters, but also criminal matters. Just look at what happened to the Directors of PT Bukit Asam.
