阿里巴巴20億元投資酒類電商1919
Alibaba Group Holding Ltd announced an investment of 2 billion yuan ($288 million) in Chinese liquor e-commerce retailer 1919 Wines & Spirits Platform, in a move aimed at tapping the lucrative yet unsaturated online-to-offline business of alcoholic drinks.
近日，阿里巴巴集團宣佈向中國白酒電商零售商1919酒類直供投資20億元（合2.88億美元）。因酒水行業獲益豐厚但是市場不飽和，此項舉措意在開發其線上線下的業務。Chengdu-based 1919 Wine & Spirits will issue over 39.2 million new shares to a unit of Alibaba at a price of 50.9 yuan, according to the liquor merchant in a statement.
總部位於成都的1919酒類直供公司在聲明中表示，將以50.9元的價格向阿里巴巴發行超過3920萬股新股。The proceeds raised in this round of financing will be used for expenditures, supplementary liquidity and repayment of bank loans.
本輪融資所得將用於支出、補充流動資金以及償還銀行貸款。
Upon the transaction, Alibaba will hold 29 percent in the leading player of China's alcohol scene, becoming its second-largest shareholder.
在本次交易中，阿里巴巴將持有該中國酒類行業領軍企業29%的股份，成爲其第二大股東。The capital injection can strengthen Alibaba's presence in the vast alcoholic drinks market in China, which is estimated by consultancy GlobalData to hit $450 billion by 2021.
此次注資將加強阿里巴巴在我國龐大的酒水飲料市場的影響力。據諮詢公司GlobalData估計，到2021年阿里巴巴在中國的酒水飲料市場規模將達到4500億美元。Under the new tie-up, Alibaba promised to deliver alcohols purchased through its online sites in as fast as 19 minutes. This is thanks to 1919 Wines & Spirits's widespread presence with 1,200 offline stores.
在這次新的合作關係中，阿里巴巴承諾，消費者在其在線網站購買的酒類製品將在19分鐘內發貨。這要歸功於1919酒類直供公司已擁有的1200家線下商店。Through investment and acquisitions, Alibaba is working to tighten grip on as many sectors as possible by merging online and offline resources through its so-called "New Retail" initiative.
阿里巴巴正依其所謂的“新零售”計劃，通過投資和收購，以合併在線和線下資源，努力加強對儘可能多的行業的控制。
