Is Ma the boss of WeChat?

Ma is the boss of WeChat in terms of capital, but Zhang Xiaolong is the founder of WeChat in terms of products.

Zhang Xiaolong graduated from the Telecommunications Department of Huazhong University of Science and Technology with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree respectively. -Foxmail, a domestic e-mail client, was developed. After joining Tencent, he developed Tencent WeChat, which is known as the "father of WeChat".

Zhang Xiaolong was named as "20 12 Innovative Person in China" by The Wall Street Journal. He was mainly responsible for the management of Tencent's R&D department and participated in the management and evaluation of Tencent's major innovative projects.

The birth of wechat:

At the end of 20 10, Zhang Xiaolong, who has always been taciturn, sent an email to Ma, suggesting Tencent to do mobile social software. Zhang Xiaolong believes that there will be a new communication tool on the mobile Internet in the future, which is likely to pose a great threat to QQ. Ma Hua Teng quickly replied to the email, agreed with Zhang Xiaolong's idea, and asked him to lead the R&D department of Tencent Guangzhou to start the project as the person in charge.

20 12 Zhang Xiaolong put forward a new viewpoint: Wechat is a way of life. Many people think that Zhang Xiaolong is less and less like a strict programmer, but a "master of deception" who peddles concepts.

Since then, wechat has been out of control. In the field of mobile Internet, WeChat has no close competitors, and there are enough trial and error opportunities for Zhang Xiaolong. E-commerce, advertising and games can all be involved. Obviously, Ma Hua Teng has handed over the full responsibility for the commercialization of WeChat to Zhang Xiaolong.
