Wei Zhu presented on Tencent and its financials, history, and portfolio of products. Tencent has experienced significant revenue and profit growth from 2010 to 2012. Founded in 1998, Tencent launched its popular QQ messaging platform in 1999 and has since expanded into games, music, payments and other social media platforms. Tencent's success stems from learning from competitors' products and adapting them for the Chinese market while continuing to innovate with its own new offerings like WeChat.
