The Chinese tech giant is continuing its dash for new sources of growth, this time with a $215m investment in US chat app Tango.
中國(guó)科技巨頭阿里巴巴(Alibaba)正繼續(xù)尋找新的增長(zhǎng)來源，這一次，阿里巴巴斥資2.15億美元投資美國(guó)社交聊天應(yīng)用軟件Tango。
The deal values Tango at $1bn. The video-centric chat app has 200m registered users spread across the US, Europe, Middle East and Asia.
這筆交易中Tango估值為10億美元。這家以視頻為主的消息聊天應(yīng)用擁有2億注冊(cè)用戶，用戶遍及美國(guó)、歐洲、中東和亞洲。
For Alibaba, likely to go public in New York later this year in what is expected to be one of the largest listings in history, the deal with Tango could help it both strength its presence on mobile phones and broaden its reach outside China.
對(duì)阿里巴巴而言，與Tango的交易將有利于增強(qiáng)阿里巴巴在移動(dòng)手機(jī)領(lǐng)域的影響力，并將其業(yè)務(wù)范圍擴(kuò)展至中國(guó)以外。阿里巴巴可能會(huì)在今年晚些時(shí)候在紐約上市，預(yù)計(jì)將成為美國(guó)股市史上規(guī)模最大的IPO之一。
Annie Xu, US general manager for Alibaba, told the FT recently that the group was exploring how it could expand its cross-border work.
阿里巴巴美國(guó)區(qū)總經(jīng)理許潔(Annie Xu)最近告訴英國(guó)《金融時(shí)報(bào)》，該公司正在研究如何拓展其跨境業(yè)務(wù)。
Tango's co-founder Eric Setton said the two have no concrete plans for strategic co-operation, but added: "I imagine and I hope that there will be a number of initiatives that we can launch together."
Tango聯(lián)合創(chuàng)始人埃里克•塞頓(Eric Setton)表示，兩家公司還沒有具體的戰(zhàn)略合作計(jì)劃，但他補(bǔ)充稱：“我覺得雙方可以一起做很多事情。”
