So Jack Ma is leaning towards floating Alibaba Group in Hong Kong. That would be great news for the local market. What little is available on the company’s numbers let alone Mr Ma’s recent rockstar-like retirement to the chairmanship, make Alibaba a market leader. But what would show real leadership for Hong Kong and the Chinese entrepreneurs who will follow would be if the deal were clean – that is, without cornerstone investors.
目前看來(lái)，馬云(Jack Ma)傾向于選擇香港作為阿里巴巴集團(tuán)(Alibaba Group)的上市地點(diǎn)，這對(duì)香港市場(chǎng)是大好的消息。且不論馬云近期退居集團(tuán)董事長(zhǎng)的退休儀式宛如搖滾明星般引人注目，阿里巴巴集團(tuán)對(duì)外公開(kāi)的少量財(cái)務(wù)數(shù)據(jù)，已經(jīng)奠定了該公司的市場(chǎng)領(lǐng)導(dǎo)者地位。中國(guó)內(nèi)地和香港的一些企業(yè)家無(wú)疑愿意追捧阿里巴巴，但真正能夠體現(xiàn)這種感召力的關(guān)鍵在于，該集團(tuán)計(jì)劃舉行的首次公開(kāi)募股交易能否僅僅依靠市場(chǎng)力量，而不必引入基石投資者。
