阿里巴巴計劃以95億美金收購餓了麼

Alibaba is in talks to acquire in a deal that could value the online food delivery start-up at up to $9.5bn as China's tech titans battle it out for dominance of the sector.

阿里巴巴正在洽談收購“餓了麼”，對這家在線送餐初創企業的估值可能高達95億美元。目前中國的科技巨頭們都在爭奪該行業的主導地位。

Alibaba and rival Tencent, each with an equity value of more than $500bn, have kicked off the year with aggressive buying sprees as they take each other on in ecommerce, payments, food delivery and other services.

進入2018年以來，阿里巴巴和競爭對手騰訊大張旗鼓地掀起收購熱潮。這兩家股權價值均超過5000億美元的巨頭已經在電子商務、支付、外賣和其他服務方面相互角力。

While they began life with clearly defined turfs — Alibaba in ecommerce and Tencent in social media — both are evolving into tech conglomerates dominating many aspects of life, some of which have been ceded by traditional companies.

儘管它們在起步階段都有明確定位（阿里巴巴開展電子商務，騰訊經營社交媒體），但兩家公司都在演變爲科技綜合企業集團，主宰人們生活的衆多方面，其中一些方面是傳統企業讓出的。

Food delivery is a case in point. China's food delivery market was valued at Rmb204.6bn ($32.5bn) in 2017, according to the China Cuisine Association, an industry group.

外賣就是一個典型的例子。根據中國烹飪協會的數據顯示，2017年中國在線外賣市場規模爲2046億元人民幣（合325億美元）。

Alibaba and its payments affiliate Ant Financial already own 40 per cent of but are looking to buy the remaining 60 per cent from existing investors including Baidu, according to people familiar with the matter.

據知情人士透露，阿里巴巴及其支付關聯公司螞蟻金服已經擁有餓了麼40%股份，但正在尋求從百度等現有投資者手中買下其餘的60%股份。

Recent Chinese media reports have suggested a deal could value the food delivery app at up to $9.5bn. was valued at $5.5bn at its last funding round in August 2015, according to CBInsights.

中國媒體近日的報道指出，該交易對這款送餐應用的估值可能達到95億美元。CBInsights的數據顯示，餓了麼在2015年8月進行的上一輪融資中的估值爲55億美元。

currently accounts for 48.8 per cent of the online food delivery market in China, closely followed by Meituan with 43.1 per cent, according to Analysys International.

根據易觀國際的數據，餓了麼目前佔據中國在線外賣市場的48.8%，緊隨其後的是美團，佔43.1%。

Should the deal go through, Alibaba would become one of the country's largest players in food delivery, rivalled only by online-to-offline services platform Meituan-Dianping, which is backed by Tencent. Meituan-Dianping was valued at $30bn in its latest funding round last year.

如果這筆交易完成，阿里巴巴將成爲中國外賣行業最大的提供商之一，只有騰訊支持的線上到線下服務平臺美團點評能與其爭鋒。美團點評在去年進行的最新一輪融資中估值達到300億美元。

Alibaba and Baidu declined to comment on the negotiations.
