消息称阿里巴巴等竞购东欧最大拍卖网站Allegro

据外媒报道，知情人士称，中国阿里巴巴集团、美国eBay公司与私募股权公司CVC Capital Partners正参与竞购东欧最大拍卖网站、波兰电商平台Allegro，交易价格据估计将在20亿到30亿欧元(约合22亿到33亿美元)，交易有望在今年底完成。

Allegro网站不仅可以让收购者轻易地进入波兰，而且也可以让收购者轻易地打入东欧地区。一名消息人士说，战略竞购者eBay和阿里巴巴将是此次竞购活动中的最强大的竞争者。但是，从反垄断的角度来说，阿里巴巴似乎略占上风。

Allegro创办于1999年，2008年被南非最大上市公司Naspers收购，目前拥有超过1400万用户。Naspers也是中国腾讯公司的大股东。

Alibaba, eBay, CVC bid for Polish auction site Allegro - sources

Chinese e-commerce group Alibaba, U.S. online retailer eBay Inc, and private equity firm CVC Capital Partners are among the bidders for Eastern Europe's No.1 auction website Allegro from South Africa's Naspers, sources said.

A deal worth between 2 and 3 billion euros (US$2.2-3.3 billion), is expected by the end of the year, market sources said. Polish online groups Wp.pl, owned by Innova Capital, and Onet.pl, controlled by Ringier Axel Springer could also be interested, some of the sources said.

"Allegro is a ready-made entry not only to Poland, but also the region," one market source told Reuters. "Strategic bidders eBay and Alibaba will be hard to beat in the race, with Alibaba looking better positioned from the anti-monopoly point of view."

The Polish e-commerce market, worth more than 32 billion zlotys (US$8 billion) with around 22,000 online shops, is set to double in value by 2020, especially given the government plans not to levy online shopping with Poland's new retail tax.

With over 14 million clients, Allegro is competing with local rival and also Naspers-owned OLX.pl, as well as eBay or U.S. Amazon.

Founded in 1999, Allegro is the largest e-commerce investment for Naspers - Africa's largest company by market value - since its acquisition in 2008.

Naspers has transformed itself from an apartheid-era publisher into a US$65 billion Internet powerhouse by focusing on e-commerce in emerging markets.

It operates in over 130 countries with stakes in Russian internet group Mail.Ru Group and China's biggest social network and online entertainment firm Tencent Holdings.

It raised US$2.5 billion in December last year to fund acquisitions.

Naspers and CVC declined to comment, while Alibaba, eBay, and Allegro were not immediately available for comment.
