We also discussed the backers of the company together with the upcoming IPO of Pinduoduo in NASDAQ. Genre Business Comment by bujingyun Interesting discussion Pinduoduo, and seems that it's the year of the IPOs for the Chinese tech companies. 2018-08-09T06:40:15Z Comment by Rick Lee Interesting conversation on Pinduoduo and how their business model disrupts JD and Alibaba in China. Social ecommerce is interesting but I wonder if it translates to other parts of the world. 2018-08-09T06:39:28Z Comment by wangwu Still don't understand why Pinduoduo want to IPO so quickly, and wonder if they want another payout with an outright acquisition from JD at some point. 2018-08-09T05:42:33Z
