Alibaba is finally exiting the United States do? America has been surging on news that "there is no knowledge." Alibaba has not yet responded.
Ali sold the United States behind the shares, except Ali O2O platform to build their own (reputation), and is most likely due to the company in the United States say more, Ali can only be cashed out.
In fact, as the group grew up before, American managers have unintentionally expressing dissatisfaction with the Ali investment brought about by the restrictions.

US missions to respond to surging News said: on whether the Group battle with PayPal, completely untrue. About us mission to push online merchants to play hit the PayPal materials under team, simply push belongs to the individual employee behavior, there has been criticism of relevant staff.
Just a few days before November 17, reputation first held a business conference, Word of mouth network CEO (Chief Executive Officer) Fan Chi attacking the buying patterns, said buying patterns to suck blood. Fan Chi day a surging news interview, did not respond positively "with the blood of Ali's reputation and the group, how to handle the relationship" questions.

But this may be a special case. DiCOS, KFC, McDonald's, a long time Ah, also settled in the reputation and the United States.
A surging group employees told news, group rival Baidu is the sticky rice and Ali's reputation, "it is. "
This competition is mainly reflected in the product dimension, and who invested in and there is no significant relationship. The employee said, such as the movie business, and micro-letters of group movie tickets and movie PK Taobao.
Told Wang entrepreneurial decade nine defeats wrote the book one win, from buying to O2O, facing opponents from the beautiful round NET lashou, litters, the mass comment nets, now the BAT (Baidu, Tencent and Alibaba) ... ... After winning the lightweight final, and beautiful round NET heavyweights iron hand melee. If the BAT straight to buy, war with the group, it is a good, they are not afraid of. Fear is, competitors from outside the group to cut. Beautiful round if we can win this race, it's a O2O giant; not just Premiers, with a "small warring feudal lords."
Internet analyst Wang Ruchen surging on news that Ali and Tencent's investment logic is essentially pursuing complementary. But in Ali, there is really no greater value and business overlap, only the size of the gain, not complementary.

News that Tencent and Sequoia Capital is the main new merging of America Director. The combined group and public comments, the Group down to a certain extent to Tencent. Individual leadership of WISCO missions Gang gang,
Tencent partners they are not good at content in the hands to do it. Tencent Beijing e-commerce business to the East, to buy the business to the public comments. United States Mission and the public comments after the merger, the truth remains the same.
According to the Wall Street Journal on 23rd disclosure, group-public comments on a new round of financing provided to investors in a ratchet clause (Equity Ratchet), but did not enjoy this part of the shares held by Alibaba ratchet provisions.
If the signing of ratchet clauses, meaning that if the IPO (initial public offering) price is not up to a certain value, investors can earn extra compensation. (Ratchet anti-dilution instruments of the articles are good for investors, is the most commonly used anti-investor or diluted forms of protection. Dilution is resulting in decreased net book value per share after financing, anti-dilution means the readjustment of capital structure. ）
