大众点评与美团合并中国最大O2O企业诞生!

美团在竞争中步履维艰，尽管中国网络巨头阿里巴巴给它注入了一些资金，但却几乎没有提供其他支持，本次合并就旨在改善这种状况，而中国最后的大型独立电子商务公司之一也从此纳入腾讯的轨道，阿里巴巴对它的影响力则变得相对较小。

Mr. Tao will be co-chairman and co-chief executive with Meituan's chief executive, Wang Xing.Mr. Wang said the cooperation would enable "us to focus on better serving our consumersand merchants, and allows us to concentrate on developing new businesses and drivingproduct innovation." Neither company would say how much the new joint operation would beworth.

张涛将与美团首席执行官王兴出任联席主席兼联席首席执行官。王兴表示，"合作后我们在产品创新、体验改进和新业务拓展上将可以投入更多精力和资源。"两家公司都没有谈到新公司的估值。
