Hi steemians ..
Today I will tell you a little bit about the Internet Security giant Rp 666 Trillion named Ma Huateng.
Ma Huateng's influence and the company he founded, Tencent, was huge in China. WeChat messaging service to Honor of Kings games is very popular in the Bamboo Curtain country. But in the midst of his company's success, Huateng rarely even appear to the public.
Yes, Huateng whose current treasure according to Forbes USD 49.4 billion or around Rp 666.9 trillion is indeed not like highlighted. Rarely would he be interviewed by the media and unlike Jack Ma, his Alibaba rival founder, hardly ever told his life story. Where he lived was not known with certainty. It is only thought that if not in Hong Kong, yes maybe in Shenzen.
His wife, whose name is Wang Danting, is also as rare as it appears. It is said, Ma and Wang acquaintances through chat on instant messages made Ma, QQ. After 3 months of chatting, they met and decided to get married.
Huateng who is also commonly called Pony Ma was born in Chaoyang district, Shantou on 46 years ago. His father is a port manager in Shenzen. He attended Shenzen University and graduated in 1993 from the Department of Computer Science.
Huateng and several colleagues then established Tencent in 1998. The company continued to lose money in the first 3 years and relied on funding from investors.
Their first successful product was the instant messaging service QQ, which became Tencent's main source of income. Then they explore the world of games with popular titles like CrossFire, Dungeon Fighter Online to League of Legends.
Tencent continues to aggressively invest and develop its own products. WeChat made by Tencent is now the largest messaging service in China, very popular there as a means of payment.
"It's no exaggeration if Tencent's products affect the lives of about a billion users in China.In gaming, messaging, banks and more, Tencent makes itself irreplaceable," said Robert Hackett of Fortune.
Tencent also diligently look for opportunities in foreign countries, including doing the act of acquisition. Supercell, the popular game developer Clash of Clans from Finland, bought them for USD 8.6 billion in 2016.
Huateng, although impressed shy, increasingly popular. In 2007 and 2014, he entered the list of the world's most influential people of Time magazine. And last year, Huateng was the top businessman of Fortune magazine.
Huateng also known as charity. In 2016, he donated $ 2 billion worth of stock to humanity, one of China's largest philanthropic actions.
In the same year, he had flushed his employees with stocks worth more than $ 220 million, in order to celebrate their 18th birthday. At that time in addition to shares, Tencent also split cash Rp 58 billion for employees, which are given in the envelope.
Hopefully be interesting news and thank you.
