HONG KONG (CBS.MW) -- Internet frenzy in Hong Kong has hit an
even more frantic pace as tycoon Li Ka-shing's listed flagships -- Cheung
Kong (Holdings) and Hutchison Whampoa -- have teamed up with
banking giants HSBC Holdings and Hang Seng Bank to launch a HK$3
billion ($385 million) e-commerce joint venture. Dubbed
IBusinessCorporation.com, the joint-venture will have "almost unlimited"
business scope. The alliance signals an aggressive push by the four blue
chips into the nascent e-commerce sector in Hong Kong and the region,
with B2B and B2C services and Internet portals to be rolled out in the
coming months for insurance, real estate, procurement, wholesaling and
retailing. The joint venture is 75 per cent held by Cheung Kong (CHEUY:
news, msgs) and Hutchison (HUWHY: news, msgs), and 25 per cent by
HSBC (AND HANG SENG BANK [S: HSNGY: news, msgs). The
shareholders left open a possible flotation of the joint venture on the stock
market. South China Morning Post
