Odaily Planet Daily reports that a source close to DeepSeek revealed that Alibaba and DeepSeek have failed to reach an agreement on the specific terms of financing. On one hand, Alibaba’s own ecosystem is not highly compatible with DeepSeek, and DeepSeek is not lacking external investors as potential shareholders, hoping to minimize restrictions at the contractual level.

Additionally, DeepSeek and potential shareholders are engaged in negotiations at the bargaining table. Bloomberg, citing informed sources, reported that Tencent proposed to subscribe to up to 20% of DeepSeek’s shares in this round of financing, but DeepSeek does not want to relinquish a large proportion of control. According to previous reports, DeepSeek is valued at up to 300 billion yuan, planning to raise 50 billion yuan, of which 20 billion yuan is internal capital increase and 30 billion yuan is external fundraising. This valuation has been confirmed by DeepSeek internal employees. (White Whale Laboratory)
