At 2:00 PM yesterday, Alibaba's official Sina Weibo account released the announcement. As of 11:00 PM last night, the post had received nearly 5,600 views and over 1,600 comments. Interestingly, some netizens commented that Hangzhou is about to see a surge of new millionaires, and that Hangzhou housing prices are likely to rise.
Previously, Alibaba had been pushing for a listing in Hong Kong. However, the Hong Kong market's adherence to the "one share, one vote" principle could not accommodate the partnership structure proposed by Alibaba, ultimately forcing the company to abandon the Hong Kong market. In the announcement, Alibaba expressed its gratitude to Hong Kong.
