https://www.zaobao.com.sg/realtime/china/story20220105-1229789 腾讯控股正寻求出售在新加坡在线游戏和电子商务公司冬海集团的部分股权，以筹集不超过31亿美元（42.04亿新元）资金用于新项目和帮助使财富分配更公平的慈善事业。 据彭博社报道，记者看到的交易条款显示，腾讯将出售1450万股冬海集团股票，占后者总股本的2.6％，指导价格区间为每股208美元至212美元。 相对于冬海集团周一收盘价223.31美元，上述指导价格的最高折价幅度达到6.9％。冬海集团股价周二在美国盘前交易中下跌6.7％，从10月的高点迄今下跌了39％。 不到一个月前，腾讯宣布计划把价值超过160亿美元的京东集团股份，作为特别中期股息派发给投资者。这一出人意料的行动被认为是腾讯针对中国政府遏制反竞争行为、开放封闭生态系统的回应。 腾讯在一份声明中介绍，将把在冬海集团的持股比例降至18.7％，减持股份将为其提供用于其他投资和社会活动的资源，同时保留在冬海集团的大部分股权可以使其继续受益于该公司的未来成长。 交易条款显示，腾讯已同意在未来六个月不进一步出售冬海集团股票，高盛、美国银行和摩根士丹利正在安排此次交易。
