Ma Huateng talks about the “Send Gifts” feature launched on WeChat Store

On the afternoon of January 13, the Tencent Group Annual Meeting was held in Shenzhen. Regarding the "send gifts" function recently launched by WeChat Store, some people call it "WeChat blue envelope" and compare it with WeChat red envelope. Ma Huateng said that he hopes the outside world will not over-hype this function. WeChat will take 5 years or even longer to be an e-commerce ecological connector, give full play to the power of social networking, pay attention to slow work and fine work, and make it a boutique. In terms of PCG (Platform and Content Business Group), Ma Huateng mentioned that long videos have developed steadily, and short dramas have a great impact on the original ecology. The audience mainly watches high-quality long dramas, while mid- and low-end long dramas are affected. Tencent does not make low-quality short dramas itself, but will invest in high-quality short dramas.

Ma Huateng published an article on People's Daily Online saying that Tencent, as a digital technology company, actively responded to the country's deployment to expand domestic demand and actively explored the development of digital consumption. The company optimized consumption tools such as WeChat payment and tried e-commerce businesses such as video live streaming to create and serve effective demand and promote economic circulation. At the same time, Tencent relied on the WeChat ecosystem to increase the absorption and friendliness of employment and entrepreneurship, and last year it provided employment and income opportunities for more than 50 million people. In the future, Tencent will also increase investment, commit to technological innovation and industrial upgrading, and work with private enterprises to contribute to the stable and healthy development of China's economy.
