When Ma founded Tencent, he also gave Ma the greatest support. Ma's mother was the first legal representative of Tencent and personally helped Ma with initial financing. Even Tencent's first investment was considered by many people to be Li Ka-shing's investment in Tencent, so Ma's success in starting a business helped him a lot.
Ma's entrepreneurial experience:
1998 Ma and his classmate Zhang Zhidong jointly registered Shenzhen Tencent Computer System Co., Ltd., and then absorbed three shareholders, Xu and Chen Yidan. As a software company established without venture capital intervention, every initial expenditure of Ma surprised his companions.
When I decided to do OICQ, two domestic companies had already done it first, and the popularity of their products in the market was higher than that of Tencent. Ma didn't think much, not only because this product can promote each other with the company's main development services, such as mobile office, paging desk, wireless paging scheme and projects, but also because many companies were interested in instant messaging projects at that time, and the market looked promising.
