The likelihood of the Blackstone Group abandoning an agreement to purchase a North American mortgage lender is growing, despite the private equity firm's reputation for never walking away from a deal, according to people familiar with the matter.
据知情人士透露，尽管私人股本公司百仕通(Blackstone Group，原译黑石)素以从不放弃交易著称，但该公司放弃收购北美抵押贷款发放机构PHH交易的可能性正在加大。
The original plan was for Blackstone and a unit of General Electric to pay $1.8bn for the mortgage and fleet lease business of PHH, with Blackstone taking the mortgage business and GE the vehicle leasing business.
最初计划是百仕通和通用电气(GE)旗下一家子公司共同支付18亿美元，收购PHH的抵押贷款和车队租赁业务，其中百仕通取得抵押贷款业务，而通用电气获得汽车租赁业务。
