On June 16, 2004, Tencent was officially listed on the Hong Kong Stock Exchange. Calculated according to its issue price of $3.70 per share, Tencent had a market value of 6.22 billion Hong Kong dollars. Three years have passed, and now Tencent's market value is about 35 billion Hong Kong dollars.

The profit during this period was RMB 2.902 billion, an increase of 10.1% compared to the previous quarter and 16.2% compared to the same period last year.
