A detailed plan by JD.com Inc, China's second-largest online retailer by market share, to merge with the e-commerce business of Tencent Holdings Ltd after the two Internet firms set up a strategic partnership in early March was leaked on Tuesday.
Under the agreement the pair inked earlier, the Shenzhen-based Internet giant Tencent will take a 15 percent stake in Beijing-based JD.com, and JD will acquire the less popular online shopping platforms wanggou.com, paipai.com and yixun.com from Tencent.
