Provide a real-life example of a long-term external source of finance (debt or equity issue) used by a blue-chip company in the U.S. or Mainland China. A blue-chip company refers to one with good reputation and successful track record and is therefore of high investment value. It is commonly defined as one of the listed corporations that constitute a leading stock index(es). In this case, the leading stock indexes in the U.S. are the DOW 30 and the S&P500, and the one in Mainland China is the Shanghai Shenzhen CSI 300 Index.

Select one blue-chip company in either the U.S. or Mainland China markets and describe the nature of the financial arrangement (e.g. purpose, duration, risk assessment, etc.). In your opinion, explain whether this financial arrangement was a right move and suggest alternatives to this arrangement with reference.

Please answer as detailed as possible!! Thank you so much><
