Offical Web Portal:

Founded in November, 1998, Tencent, Inc. has grown into China's largest and most used Internet service portal. In its nine-year history, Tencent has been able to maintain steady and fast-paced growth by always putting its users first. On June 16th, 2004, Tencent Holdings Limited (SEHK 700) went public on the main board of the Hong Kong Stock Exchange.

Tencent's mission is to use Internet-related technologies for the betterment of human life. QQ, Tencent's instant messaging platform, has already profoundly influenced the way tens of millions of Internet users communicate with one another. QQ's ease of use and expansive user base allow for a wide range of personal, social services, and commercial applications. QQ is improving people's lives and expanding people's ways of using the Internet at an unprecedented rate.

Presently, Tencent is aiming its operations at the strategic goal of providing users with a "one-stop online life service". Tencent's Internet platforms QQ, QQ.com, QQ Games, and PaiPai.com have brought together China's largest Internet community. Tencent's communications and information-sharing services include QQ.com, QQ Instant Messenger, QQ Mail, and search engine SOSO. Linked up with heavily used features such as forums, chat rooms, and QQ Groups, Tencent's Qzone has grown into China's largest personal Internet space. These services foster group interaction and resource sharing. Virtual products such as QQ Show, QQ Pet, QQ Game, and QQ Music/Radio/Live have been successful in providing entertainment and customization options to users. Mobile phone users can take advantage of a number of value-added wireless services. Tencent's PaiPai.com is a C2C on-line shopping platform that seamlessly integrates into Tencent's other community platforms. As of Dec 31st, 2007, the number of registered QQ Instant Messenger users has exceeded 714.7 million. Active users numbered at more than 300.2 million. QQ Games counted more than 3.8 million users simultaneously on-line. QQ.com has become China's most visited Internet portal website. PaiPai.com has also become China's second largest Internet shopping platform.

Tencent's long term development plan is future-, innovation-, and nationally oriented. More than 60% of Tencent employees are R&D staff. Tencent has obtained patents relating to the following technologies: instant messaging, on-line shopping and payment services, search engine, information security, gaming, and many more. In 2007, Tencent invested more than RMB100 million in setting up the Tencent Research Institute, China's first Internet research institute, with campuses in Beijing, Shanghai, and Shenzhen. The institute focuses on developing core technologies. On its way to becoming an innovative national brand, Tencent has already made innovations in areas such as enterprise development, operations, and marketing.

Tencent's long term goal is to become the most respected Internet enterprise. In order to fulfill corporate social responsibilities and to promote a civil Internet society, Tencent has been actively participating in public charity programs. In 2006, Tencent inaugurated the Tencent Public Charity Foundation, the first charity foundation set up by a Chinese Internet enterprise, and public charity website gongyi.qq.com. The website focuses on youth counseling, assisting impoverished communities, care for the disadvantaged, and disaster relief. Tencent has begun a number public charity projects in various parts of China. Tencent is working hard to help build a harmonious society and to become a good Corporate Citizen.
