Lazada

Chinese ecommerce group Alibaba has announced a$ 1bn deal to take a controlling stake in its Southeast Asian counterpart Lazada, as it looks to expand beyond China's increasingly saturated market.

中国电商集团阿里巴巴（Alibaba）宣布斥资10亿美元获得东南亚电商Lazada的控股权。阿里巴巴正寻求在日益饱和的中国市场以外扩张。

As well as taking roughly$ 500m in new shares, the Chinese group is replacing big-name European investors such as Rocket Internet, the Berlin-based start-up incubator, and Tesco, the UK supermarket chain, which are selling down significant stakes in Lazada.

在出资约5亿美元购买Lazada新股的同时，阿里巴巴将取代Lazada的欧洲大牌投资者，例如总部位于柏林的初创企业孵化器Rocket Internet和英国超市连锁乐购（Tesco），这些投资者将减持在Lazada的大量股权。

Among the details in the agreement announced on Wednesday, Alibaba's logistic platform Cainiao and its e-commerce website Lazada will lead other Alibaba subsidiaries and affiliates in the development of a regional e-commerce and logistics hub near the Kuala Lumpur International Airport.

当天宣布的合作的具体内容包括：阿里巴巴旗下物流平台菜鸟和电商网站拉扎达将率领其他子公司和分支机构，在吉隆坡国际机场附近建设区域电商物流枢纽。
