🔥How Jack Ma’s Ant Group Went From Business Disrupter to Chinese Tech Champion
螞蟻集團如何從金融產業顛覆者成長為中國科技領軍企業？

😀Once seen as a disrupter of China’s banking system, Jack Ma’s financial-technology behemoth Ant Group Co. is becoming a national champion for the country as it prepares to go public with much fanfare.
馬雲麾下金融科技巨頭螞蟻集團（Ant Group Co.）曾被視為中國銀行體系的顛覆者，如今該公司成為中國的領軍企業，正準備大張旗鼓地上市。

🗽Hangzhou-based Ant, one of the world’s most valuable technology startups, on Monday said it is planning initial public offerings on stock exchanges in Hong Kong and Shanghai, skipping New York while trade and political tensions flare between the U.S. and China.
總部位於杭州的螞蟻集團是全球最具價值的科技新創企業之一，該公司20日表示，計劃在香港和上海兩地的證券交易所進行首次公開募股(IPO)。此舉代表螞蟻集團在美中貿易和政治緊張局勢加劇之際繞過了紐約市場。

-startup: 新創企業
-flare: 閃閃地燃燒

🏮The news was timed to roughly coincide with the one-year anniversary of Shanghai’s own Nasdaq-style STAR market, which top Chinese officials have been trying to nurture as a listing venue for homegrown technology stalwarts.
這個消息發布的時間恰逢上海科創板開板一周年。中國高層官員一直在努力將該市場培育為本土科技巨頭的上市場所。
