國際站 , Alibabab 1688 中文站 , 淘寶網 , 天貓網 , 一淘網, 聚划算 , 阿里雲) 準備在哪上市, 香港 , 倫敦 , 上海 ,
紐約.....等等吵翻天(很奇怪的是怎麼沒有人提到台灣來上市阿, 呵呵! 我們金管會真的招商不利阿).

網路傳播速度可真快, 一下子全球財經媒體就一則接一擇出來, 我用 GOOGLE SEARCH " ALIBABA IPO " 就有276條再報導此新聞,
可真熱鬧, 相信接下來這段期間肯定有更多新聞報導與評論, 以下彙整幾家主流財經媒體報導此新聞, 讓大家也跟上腳步!!!!

============================================
Alibaba Files to Go Public in US IPO of
E-Commerce Giant
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd., which rode China’s
emergence as an economic superpower over the past 15 years to become a massive
online marketplace for everything from forks to forklifts, filed today for what
could become the largest U.S. initial public offering ever.
The amount of $1 billion in a U.S. regulatory
filing is a placeholder used to calculate registration fees that will change.
Alibaba didn’t specify how many shares it will offer in its IPO or what
valuation it will seek. Those details will be provided closer to the actual
sale.
Founded by former English teacher Jack Ma, 49, in
a Hangzhou apartment, Alibaba started with a few dozen items for sale. Alibaba’s
market value is estimated at $168 billion, bigger than 95 percent of the
Standard & Poor’s 500 Index -- and the most valuable Internet company after
Google Inc., according to data compiled by Bloomberg.
Alibaba IPO May Be the Largest Ever in the
U.S.
The company is looking to sell about a 12 percent
stake, people familiar with the matter have said, which would make the offering
around $20 billion based on the estimated value, topping a $19.65 billion
offering by Visa Inc. in 2008, data compiled by Bloomberg show.
With today’s filing, Alibaba begins a process
that will take several months before it becomes a publicly traded company -- and
involve revisions to the document and meetings with investors during a formal
roadshow, after which a price for the shares will be set. The company also has
to decide whether to list its shares on the New York Stock Exchange or Nasdaq
Stock Market.
Alibaba now provides various marketplaces for
buyers and sellers, as well as services that help them conduct their businesses.
Taobao Marketplace, founded in 2003, enables millions of individuals and small
businesses to sell products. Tmall.com operates as a virtual shopping mall, with
retailers and brands offering products. Alibaba’s other businesses include
Juhuasuan, a flash-sales model, and eTao, a shopping search engine.
