阿里巴巴與蘇寧展開戰略合作 Alibaba buying near 20% stake in Suning

Alibaba and Suning are planning a shopping spree - of each other's shares.

阿里巴巴(Alibaba)和蘇寧(Suning)計劃上演一場購物狂歡，它們收購的對象是對方的股票。

Alibaba is splashing out RMB 28.3bn ($4.63bn) to buy a 19.99 per cent stake in Suning, which bills itself as China's largest consumer electronics retailer , a deal that will make the Chinese electronics giant the second biggest shareholder in Suning.

阿里巴巴將斥資283億元人民幣（合46.3億美元）買入蘇寧19.99%的股份，這家中國電商巨頭將因此成爲蘇寧的第二大股東。蘇寧自稱是中國最大的消費電子產品零售商。

At the same time, Suning will spend up to RMB14bn ($2.28bn) to buy up to 27.8m newly issued ordinary shares in Alibaba.

而蘇寧將斥資140億元人民幣（合22.8億美元）買入阿里巴巴至多2780萬股新發普通股。

After the investment, Suning will hold a stake of approximately 1.1 per cent in Alibaba.

做出這筆投資後，蘇寧將持有阿里巴巴近1.1%的股份。

The companies said:“The strategic collaboration between Alibaba and Suning marks a milestone that signals the further integration of digital and offline retail. This strategic collaboration will bring benefits to hundreds of millions of Chinese consumers who use Alibaba's online platforms and Suning's offline channels. By cooperating, Alibaba and Suning will be able to provide holistic and more convenient shopping experiences, as well as superior customer service to users looking to purchase online and through mobile devices.”

兩家公司表示：阿里巴巴和蘇寧的戰略合作，具有里程碑式的意義，標誌着數字化零售和線下零售的進一步整合。對於使用阿里巴巴線上平臺和蘇寧線下渠道購物的中國數億消費者來說，這一戰略合作將給他們帶來好處。通過相互間的合作，阿里巴巴和蘇寧將能夠提供線上線下融合的便捷購物體驗，還能爲那些追求線上購物和移動購物方式的用戶提供超值的客戶服務。
