However, according to the memories of Tencent's founders and founding employees, Ma did not act arbitrarily, but reasoned with everyone. If he can't convince other colleagues, he should listen to their advice first. If it turns out that other colleagues' ideas don't work, he should imitate Ma's ideas.
Ma's thought has a great influence on Tencent's corporate culture in the future. If no one can convince anyone, then PK will prove who is right and who is wrong with actions. Ma's correct decision-making time and time again has helped Tencent overcome one difficulty after another and made him more and more prestigious in the company he founded. Therefore, Tencent's major shareholders also trust Tencent's founder team represented by Ma and hand over all voting rights to Tencent's founder team. Therefore, although Tencent is listed in Hong Kong with the same shares and rights, the founder team of Tencent still has the greatest voice in the company.
Today, Ceng Liqing, chief operating officer of Tencent, has left Tencent to start a business as an investor. The current Chief Operating Officer is Ren Yuxin. 20 13, Cao Chen Yidan has also dismissed his corresponding post. Then Zhang Zhidong, CTO, stepped down as CTO and became the president of Tencent College. Although Xu, the chief information officer, has not left his post, he is extremely low-key and far from his core business. It is said that the right to speak is relatively small. There are even rumors that Zhang Zhidong stepped down as CTO to increase.
After listing, Tencent has continuously introduced and trained senior executives. Tencent's current president and chief strategy officer are all Hong Kong gangs, that is, they turned the original copied Tencent into an investment-oriented Tencent, turned Tencent from an original public enemy into a respected person in the industry, and made JD.COM, 58 Fair, sogou, Meituan Dianping, Didi, mobike and other small giants become the "Tencent Department" companies in people's mouths. Therefore, the executives introduced in this part also have a good say.
Ren Yuxin, the current chief operating officer of Tencent, and Zhang Xiaolong, the founder of WeChat, are executives trained by Tencent. Ren Yuxin is now in charge of social network business group (QQ, QQ space) and online media business group (Tencent News, Tencent Video, Daily Express), and Zhang Xiaolong is in charge of WeChat business group (WeChat, QQ mailbox). Because their specific businesses are excellent, they are Tencent's trump card products or Tencent's strategic products, so they also have considerable voice in the company.
To sum up, in terms of Tencent's shareholding structure, Ma has the greatest voice in theory, but with Ma's personality and Tencent's corporate culture, Ma has not become the "absolute leader" of the cloud. The relationship between Tencent executives and Ma is more about cooperation than obedience.
