Purely speculation on my part, but I can help but wonder if it doesn't have to do with the AAFES deal. Given that shipping to overseas military has to go through the APO system and takes longer to get to subscribers, I wonder if the overseas investor will be in charge of AAFES Europe distribution to make for a faster turn-around time.
Also, given GZF's claims of plans for overseas expansion, the investor may have been buying into the company to be in charge of that part of the business - perhaps sort of like franchising.
