If you look at the world’s most valuable companies, you won’t be surprised to find the likes of Apple, Microsoft, and Google. But one name does stand out: Tencent. The company is worth more than the likes of Facebook, Mastercard, and Samsung, and yet if you asked the majority of people what Tencent does, you’d be met with a confused look. The truth, is that Tencent does everything. Because whilst Tecent’s mascot is a friendly-looking penguin - a more accurate animal to embody this conglomerate would be a giant octopus, with tentacles reaching into almost every industry you can think of, all over the world. Whether you realize it or not, you almost certainly use products or services Tencent is involved with.
However in Tencent’s home country of China, it’s a very different story; everyone is aware that Tencent dominates their lives. And that’s because in China, Tencent has achieved the seemingly impossible: one app to rule them all. Tencent created an app called WeChat that's been dubbed ‘the everything app’ because almost all of China’s 1.4 billion population use this app for an average of 4 hours every day, more than the average American user spends on all social media apps combined.
And the reason people in China use WeChat so much is because it’s basically every app you can think of rolled into one. Its essentially Facebook, PayPal, Whatsapp, Netflix, Google, Spotify, Uber, Yelp, Tinder, Zoom, KZbin, Deliveroo, Amazon and lots lots more all in one single app. You pay your bills through it, call your friends through it, and essentially live your entire life through it. However one single company having access to literally all your data - from your exact location to your entire bank history to every message and call and search you’ve ever made - it’s a lot. And then it gets worse when you realize that the line between where Tencent ends and the Chinese government begins, is blurry. Meaning, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has access to all that information as well, making WeChat one of the most powerful surveillance tools ever.
Plus, private messages and images that are sent through Tencent’s apps like WeChat are scanned to see if they need to be censored - if you say anything the Chinese government doesn’t want you to, you could end up in jail, or disappear. The Chinese government has even openly confirmed that it can access deleted WeChat conversations.
Tencent has used its vast wealth and resources to expand into many industries. They are also the largest gaming company in the world - with revenue significantly higher than any competitor. Gaming is just one of countless different industries Tencent operates in. Also Tencent’s Payments division is nearly as big as PayPal’s entire business. And its reported WeChatPay generates over 1 billion payment transactions per day - more than Visa and Mastercard. But it’s only recently that the West has started to realise the influence Tencent - and thus China - actually have... In this business documentary, we'll answer questions like: What is Tencent? What does Tencent do? How did Tencent and other Chinese businesses get so big?

This project has consumed my life for the last few months 😂 But hopefully you’re gonna enjoy this one, as I really think Tencent is such a fascinating business - it’s one of the world’s most valuable and influential companies, and yet most people know very little about it… Tencent is often surrounded by controversy - including extreme surveillance, censorship, and brutally cloning & crushing competitors. And many people are concerned by just how many companies Tencent is now involved with. And yet in many ways, this is also an incredible success story… Tencent went from having only $1000 in their bank account & being on the edge of bankruptcy, to becoming a gigantic global empire & creating ‘the everything app’ that Chinese people live their entire lives through. There’s a lot to cover here, so get comfy, and join me on this journey through Tencent’s crazy history. :) P.S. Ideally watch with headphones and on a laptop / TV if possible.

they are spreading a fair amount of misinformation and shedding bad light only on chinese corporations, and also considering that he mentions the now basically abandoned social credit system, makes me feel like he just hasnt done enough research. an easy delve into the chinese communities turns up simple results from not just websites, but the people themselves that disproves or just straight up debunks a lot of his points. though i see where hes coming from, i do not think putting misinformation in between real information is a good idea morally.

In the eyes of my elders, Tencent is just the company behind WeChat and QQ. Thanks to your video, I now have a clear understanding of Tencent's early days and its complete development journey. However, at the same time, I feel saddened by the one-sided reporting of China by Western media over the years, as well as the numerous misunderstandings and biases in the comments.

I'm a recording engineer in the US, and like 4 out of 5 jobs come via Tencent in some way. Video game scores, film scores, app music, commercials, ADR, everything you can think of! For the 20+ years I've been doing this, you could usually trace most projects back to Disney, but lately its shifted to Tencent. Can't complain I suppose, they are giving lots of people work! In 10 years or so, when we have all been enslaved by Tencent, hopefully they will look back at the work I've done for them and treat me more like a pet instead of sending me to work in the mines. . .

Nice video. I’ve lived in China for over 10 years, was one of the first users of WeChat and much later even worked at Tencent during the crackdown on tech. Your video does a great job shedding light into a complex company - bravo. The cat and mouse between business and government here is fascinating and deserves a lengthy video by itself. One small correction is that when voice messages first came out it was more about converting older users onto the platform who were less literate or had less dexterity. Voice to text thru NLP software came much later. All the best -T

Very good journalism, not just a government fluff piece, but not attacking any personalities either. Absolutely applaudable how you brought up the issues with the Chinese government and the psyche that Chinese people have. It's absolutely a must that everyone knows about the human rights issues, and the active process of covering it. Good details on what was happening overseas at the same time, and the importance of anti-competitive behaviour and it's downsides. Only gripe I had with this was that it was a bit over-dramatic with the sounds and transitions, but that did increase the quality feel of it.

[@s.v.discussion8665]

This excerpt from the text "not just a government fluff piece" and this other excerpt "It's absolutely a must that everyone knows about the human rights issues" follow exactly the manual on how to write a misinformation piece. The truth is that human rights are the last concern of the US government. The primary american goal is to maintain its hegemony over any other country that threatens it.

[@daissi]

@@s.v.discussion8665 Firstly, I don't remember asking. Secondly I'm not from the US so your threats are not directed towards me, but Europe should absolutely be more vary and self-sufficient as well. I wish that people wouldn't be corrupted by money, but they are and thus there are products and services that have so much chinese ownership that it can affect what is tolerated, for example having protection against a certain president while other public figures are allowed to be criticized. Finally, it pains me when some US citizens are extreme rightists or leftists, and don't realize that they should work towards a common objective; to not feed this nation that is using democratic organizations and freedom speech to drive a non-democratic idea where there is no freedom of speech. Many extremist news outlets twist US into a bad thing, but that's because things are pretty good there, and it's the smaller things where people are making a mountain of a mole hill. Thank you in advance for a civilized debate.

Well same thing is happening all over the world. On the west corporations make same thing with different faces labeled on with different names but all funnel to the same people in charge doing some digging. I am not taking sides... But in the West governments just fool people around with the words Freedom while presenting it that way but in fact it's not freedom at all. East at least have the dignity to be honest and transparent even with their own people that they have been monitored. In the west the monitoring from Google etc. is at the same scale as in China - the only difference is they are desperately trying to say otherwise.

The world is really run by the same few people. The economy isn't doing us any good. inflation and recession are reaping havoc. Gaining financial security requires forming sound habits, such as setting aside funds on a regular basis for reliable investments. Most people avoid talking about financial management, which will come back to haunt them in the future. What we should be looking for is investing our time and energy in projects and investments that will generate a profit in the future. We have set aside $400k to start tracking bonds and stocks of cash-flowing corporations that are indexed to inflation. While my spouse and I are gradually increasing our long-term holdings in a variety of stocks and ETFs, it wouldn't hurt to be aware of strategies for making quick money as well.

[@champhallier8468]

Despite all of these obligations, it is still possible to plan for the recession. If you already have a job, look for another one and hire an investing advisor. You can protect your deposits if you keep enough money in short-term fixed income investments. then decrease your expenditures. cutbacks in utilities and insurance.
