Groupon, Welcome to China!

In the last few days, the news that Groupon, the originator of the Groupon, had been financed and planned to expand overseas has been a source of speculation and independence. Is it a takeover? or cooperate? There have been reports that Groupon had been in Shanghai for a major group buying site, and a mail burst, saying Groupon was looking for talented people to join its management team and planned to increase the total number of Chinese employees to 1000 in the first 3 months. Groupon is a foregone conclusion, and speculation remains.

Recently, people said to have been informed that Groupon has finalized business cooperation with Tencent, the joint venture in the domestic establishment of group buying website, the two sides shareholding is 50%, the site is expected to be the fastest in 2 weeks, the development target for this May to become http://www.aliyun.com/zixun/ Aggregation/7763.html "> Domestic Group buying industry first place.
