Tencent Looks Abroad to Level Up

Chinese tech giant Tencent is looking to level up its presence overseas as things get tough at home.

Tencent, the world’s largest videogame company by revenue, has invested around $300 million in the largest shareholder of French videogame maker Ubisoft. Tencent would get a 49.9% stake in Guillemot Brothers, controlled by Ubisoft’s founding family, and would provide the holding company a long-term unsecured loan, Ubisoft said.
