阿里巴巴在美国申请公开售股
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]Chinese internet giant Alibaba has filed documents for a public share sale in the US, which is widely expected to be one of the biggest in history.[/b][/size][/font][font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px][b]中国互联网巨头阿里巴巴申请在美国公开售股，这被普遍认为是史上一次最大的售股活动。[/b][/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]In its filing, the company said it was seeking to raise $1bn. But that figure is seen just as an estimate to calculate various fees.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Analysts expect it to raise more than $15bn and top [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/96547.html]Facebook[/url]'s share sale.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Alibaba did not disclose details of the number of shares it intends to sell or their price range. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]It also did not reveal which US exchange - the Nasdaq or New York Stock Exchange - it is looking to list its shares on.[/size][/font]

[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Founded 15 years ago by Jack Ma, the firm has been a dominant force in e-commerce in China and is now the biggest online retailer in the country.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]While it has been a key player in the sector for many years, its filing gave investors the first glimpse at the firm's finances.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The firm generated [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/96547.html]revenues[/url] of 40.5bn yuan in the nine months to the end of December 2013, making a net profit of $2.9bn.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The documents reveal that last year, the value of all merchandise sold on Alibaba's various platforms was $248bn, with more than 11.3 billion orders placed.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]The total value of merchandise sold on its platforms last year was more than that sold on Amazon and eBay combined. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]In a nod to the importance of smartphones, the firm said it was responsible for 72% of mobile commerce in China. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]That is important as Alibaba has been locked in competition recently with rival Tencent - China's largest internet firm - to attract mobile shoppers.[/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]Analysts said there was likely to be keen interest in the share sale as investors hope the firm will be able to replicate its success in China on a global scale. [/size][/font]
[font=Verdana, Arial, Tahoma][size=14px]"If it is able to transport that kind of power to outside [url=http://www.enread.com/news/business/96547.html]China[/url], it has the potential to become a true global e-commerce powerhouse," said Roger Entner, lead analyst and founder of Recon Analytics.[/size][/font]
