TechCrunch Disrupt Beijing kicked off with a bang this morning: Pony Ma, founder, Executive Director, Chairman, and CEO of Chinese giant Tencent took the stage for a fireside chat with our own Sarah Lacy. Tencent, for those who aren't familiar with it, is one of the world's biggest Internet giants. The company sees $3 billion in revenue and $1 billion in profit annually, with services that include web portals, games, social networks, and IM. According to Forbes, Ma is the 9th richest person in China.The interview spanned many topics, ranging from Tencent's past to the role China will have as the web continues to grow and mature. And it was notable for another reason: this was the first time Ma agreed to be interviewed on stage by a foreign journalist.You'll find my takeaways below, and a recording of the whole interview above it's well worth watching.Original Link: http://feedproxy.google.com/~r/Techcrunch/~3/_Xl850jnKE4/
