Is it true that Ma Huateng has surpassed Jack Ma and Wang Jianlin to become the richest man in China?

In recent years, with the rapid development and rise of China’s Internet, a large number of international and influential companies have emerged in China. And the creators behind these companies have also become successful, each of them has reached the pinnacle of life, and their personal wealth has also been accumulated rapidly.

For example, Wang Jianlin of Wanda, Jack Ma of Alibaba, Ma Huateng of Tencent, etc. These are relatively wealthy and very famous entrepreneurs.

Due to their business success, their personal wealth has attracted much attention.

As we all know, Jack Ma and Wang Jianlin have always maintained strong competitiveness against the richest men in the country.

Wanda’s Wanda is engaged in commercial real estate. Wanda’s commercial real estate is one of its most successful industries, but Wanda has also been developing in other directions in recent years

Not long ago, Wang Jianlin The “small goal of 100 million” has attracted a lot of attention. In September this year, Wanda Commercial delisted from the Hong Kong Stock Exchange and plans to re-list on A-shares within two years. Hurun said: "If his return is successful, Wang Jianlin's wealth should reach 300 billion, and he will be among the top ten in the world."

Wanda Group’s revenue last year was RMB 290 billion and it will be among the Fortune Global 500.

Ma Yun started out as an English teacher. Relying on e-commerce websites like Taobao, he changed the fate of thousands of merchants. He made many ordinary people rich and made many traditional people unable to do so. The small businessmen who were willing to change suffered a lot and blamed Jack Ma for cutting off their financial opportunities. Now Alibaba Group, in addition to Taobao and Tmall, Alibaba also has giants like Alipay, which has even changed people's habit of carrying wallets when going out for many years. Now many people only need to bring their mobile phones to make purchases. . Bringing China's mobile payment to the world

Alibaba's share price in the US capital market has increased by more than 30% in the past year, and its current market value exceeds 1.7 trillion, making it the company with the largest market value on the list. In September this year, Jack Ma was invited to serve as a special advisor to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development for Youth Entrepreneurship and Small Business. Alibaba has only 34,000 employees, while online stores on Taobao and Tmall platforms alone provide more than 10 million jobs.

Tencent’s Ma Huateng started with QQ, a chat software. After QQ achieved great success, Tencent made software such as WeChat. Now Tencent is already a giant in the social networking industry in the international market

Now WeChat has hundreds of millions of daily users. Even some middle-aged and elderly people who do not know the Internet are trying to use WeChat. The voice function was also a sensation at the time. , the red envelope strategy is also the beginning of the explosion of WeChat, and the developed WeChat payment function can also be comparable to Alipay

According to the latest data released by Forbes Chinese website a few days ago, Alibaba Group Chairman Jack Ma replaced Wanda Chairman Wang Jianlin as the The new richest man in mainland China. Forbes estimates that as of last Friday (May 12), Jack Ma’s net worth was approximately US$30.9 billion (approximately 212.734 billion yuan), while Wang Jianlin’s was approximately US$30.7 billion (approximately 211.357 billion yuan), and Ma Huateng’s was 297 billion US dollars (approximately 204.473 billion yuan), ranking third.

In the past, the battle for the richest man in mainland China was mainly between Jack Ma and Wang Jianlin. But this week, that pattern may be shattered.

According to data released by Forbes, the gap between Ma Huateng and Jack Ma is only US$1.2 billion.

Tencent’s stock price has continued to rise recently, and Ma Huateng’s net worth has continued to rise. According to the current Tencent Holdings’s current high of 2.56 trillion yuan, Ma Huateng currently holds 8.82% of Tencent Holdings’ shares, which corresponds to a net worth of approximately 225.8 billion yuan, equivalent to approximately 2.56 trillion yuan in U.S. dollars. US$32.78 billion.

It can be said that Ma Huateng has surpassed Wang Jianlin and Jack Ma to become the richest man in China of the new generation.

With the rapid development of the Internet today, what does Tencent led by Ma Huateng rely on to achieve its advantage?

Tencent’s game business has always been an important business for Tencent. Tencent introduced Tencent's game performance in the past three years at the UP2017 Tencent Interactive Entertainment Annual Conference. According to Lu Peng, vice president of Tencent Games, Tencent’s game revenue reached 38.4 billion yuan in 2016, among which mobile games developed very rapidly.

In the 2017 Q1 global game rankings, "Honor of Kings" climbed to the first place in downloads on the App Store...

According to Tencent Securities, revenue from value-added services business increased year-on-year. An increase of 41% to RMB 35.108 billion in the first quarter of 2017. Online game revenue increased by 3.4% to RMB 22.811 billion. This increase mainly reflects the growth in revenue from smartphone games (such as "Honor of Kings" and "Dragon Nest") and PC client games (such as "League of Legends" and "Dungeon Fighter"). Social network revenue increased by 56% to RMB 12.297 billion. The growth mainly reflects the growth in sales revenue from digital content services (including digital music, video and literary services) and virtual props.

As one of Tencent's flagship games, "League of Legends" ranks first in revenue among PC games. The S6 Global Finals attracted 43 million users to watch, and its annual revenue was US$1.628 billion. The number of registered users of "Honor of Kings" has exceeded 200 million. The finals attracted 13 million users to watch, and the total number of views reached 560 million. The highest daily turnover reached 200 million, and the monthly turnover exceeded 3 billion! In the first quarter of 2017 alone, it contributed RMB 12 billion in revenue to Tencent! Just one Zhao Yun skin can earn up to 150 million yuan in one day!

The daily active users of "CF" exceed 10 million, and "DNF" has become the highest-grossing game in China's history.

Tencent is already the largest gaming company in the world in terms of revenue ranking

However, in the face of the continuous influx of mobile e-sports players, Tencent is paying more and more attention to this emerging industry. . Presumably there will be more new actions in the future

There is also the instant messaging business

Tencent uses QQ and WeChat as the two major communication and social software, and it can be said that it has dominated Internet social networking

This growth is related to WeChat’s user strategy. Previously, most users defined WeChat as an ordinary chat tool. However, with Tencent’s product strategy adjustments, the functions of WeChat, a communication application, have changed.

WeChat has gradually penetrated deeper into the office field. Currently, there are more than 20 million registered users of the WeChat enterprise account used for work communication. As users' cognition and usage habits change, WeChat can also achieve greater growth with the help of the "definition" of "office application".

Thanks to the growth of WeChat, Tencent’s online advertising business revenue increased by 60% year-on-year to 6.532 billion yuan, while benefit advertising revenue also increased by 80% to 3.697 billion yuan, and these two increases mainly reflected Advertising in Moments

As for QQ, the number of Q monthly active accounts reached 853 million, the monthly active accounts of QQ smart terminals reached 642 million, and the monthly active users of QQ space reached 640 million. As a result, QQ has transitioned to WeChat People should know the glory of QQ in the past

It can be said that these two major businesses alone have brought huge revenue to Tencent, leaving aside Tencent’s other online media, wireless Internet value-added, Interactive entertainment, Internet value-added, e-commerce, advertising, etc., with a series of businesses

Think about it and think that the development of Internet companies now is multi-faceted. This time Ma Huateng became the richest man in China in a low-key manner. I know what he thinks. With the rapid development of the Internet today, it seems that the future battle for the richest man in China will also include Ma Huateng.

I wonder if Ma Huateng, who has always been low-key, can continue his efforts and secure the throne of the richest man this time?
