The office-sharing startup WeWork had been counting on an initial public offering and a contingent $6 billion loan to meet its cash needs, but that plan unraveled amid questions about its future profitability. 共享辦公室的初創(chuàng)公司W(wǎng)eWork一直希望通過(guò)首次公開(kāi)募股和一筆60億美元的應(yīng)急貸款來(lái)滿(mǎn)足其現(xiàn)金需求,但由于其未來(lái)盈利能力受到質(zhì)疑,這一計(jì)劃落了空。
