2020考研MTI双语时事:知乎完成4.5亿美元融资

Chinese Quora-like website Zhihu completed a $450 million F-round funding led by popular Chinese short video platform Kuaishou and internet giant Baidu today, according to 36Kr.

据36氪公司数据，类似于美国Quora的中国知乎完成4.5亿美元F轮融资，中国热门短视频平台快手和百度纷纷投资。

Upon completion of Zhihu’s largest round of funding, users will be able to search up Zhihu content directly through Baidu’s mobile app.

知乎最大的融资完成后，用户将能够直接通过百度的移动app搜索知乎内容。

It has been a year since Zhihu completed its previous E Round funding in August last year, which raised about $270 million, bringing its valuation to $2.5 billion.

去年8月知乎完成E轮融资，共融资2.7亿美元，当时企业市值升至25亿美元。

Zhihu’s successful funding can be attributed to its healthy revenue model. Although it has only been officially commercialized since 2017, Zhihu mainly focused on two major revenue models of advertising and knowledge provision services. Zhihu indicated that in the first half of 2018, the company’s commercial advertising revenues grew a whopping 340% compared with the same period last year.

融资的成功归功于公司健康的盈利模式。虽然知乎是2017年才正式商业化，主攻广告和提供知识服务这两大盈利模式。知乎表明，去年上半年，商业广告收入同比激增了340%。

According to insiders familiar with the matter, Kuaishou CEO and Founder Su Hua has been eyeing Zhihu as a target of investment for a considerable period of time and expressed interest in participating in previous rounds of funding. However, negotiations did not pan out in previous discussions due to price disagreements and internal conflicts within Kuaishou. The deal was eventually finalized by executive leaders in the company including Su himself who pushed forth continuously with the endeavor.

据知情人士透露，快手CEO兼创始人苏华在相当长的时间内都把知乎作为投资目标，并表示对参与前几轮融资有兴趣。然而，由于价格上的分歧和快手的内部冲突，谈判在过去的几次讨论中均未成功。在包括苏华在内的公司高层领导的不断努力下，这笔交易最终被敲定了下来。

Many speculate that Zhihu’s moves over the past year and earlier this year indicate that the company may be eyeing for an IPO soon. It laid off up to 700 staff members last year, as Bjnews reported. Earlier this year, Zhihu founder and CEO Zhou Yuan announced an organizational restructuring and the appointment of a new CFO in an internal letter.

许多人猜测知乎在过去一年和今年早些时候的举动表明，这家公司可能正在考虑在将来会进行首次公开募股(IPO)。公司在去年解雇了多达700名的员工，据Bjnews报道。更早的时候，知乎创始人兼首席执行官周原在一封公司内部信件中宣布了公司重组，并任命了一名新的首席财务官。
