Bankers, What does it mean that Alibaba will split into 6 units?

Hey guys!

No newspaper is explaining what precisely does it meaning splitting the business into 6 units.

Does this deal mean curving out the 6 business units, then Alibaba becomes an Investment Holding?

I have no idea, pure guessing. Would love to hear from you!

I hope this forum becomes more deal explanation focused, rather than intern pushing questions
