During 2019, we believe we made substantial progress on prominent aspects of our corporate strategy, and we see scope for further development, leading us to continue to evolve our plans as we try to tackle new challenges and seize new opportunities. Reviewing some of our important product areas and business lines: Communication and Social Our strategic focus in this business is strengthening connections between users via digital content, online services, and offline services, as well as enhancing connections with enterprises leveraging Mini Programs, Weixin Pay and WeChat Work. In 2019, we provided Weixin users with convenient access to public services and healthcare content. We enriched content in Mini Programs and news feeds services in video format and enabled users to share short videos via Weishi within Moments. Weixin and WeChat engagement metrics stayed high as their active user base and user time spent increased. Daily messages sent were up 15% year-on-year for the fourth quarter of 2019. We rejuvenated QQ with enhanced chat features and friend recommendation, and we expanded entertainment use cases via Mini Games, increasing QQ’s popularity among younger generations. Since the coronavirus outbreak, QQ School-plus-Home groups have served more than 120 million users, with optimised features such as live broadcast, online tutoring programs and online administrative tools for school routines to facilitate online and offline education. To strengthen our connections with enterprises, we facilitated discovery of merchants’ Mini Programs and sales conversion by enhancing Weixin in-app search and live broadcast functions. The number of daily transactions generated within Mini Programs more than doubled year-on-year, and their transaction value exceeded RMB800 billion in 2019. Looking forward, we seek to make our users’ everyday life more convenient through our communication products, to develop the full potential of Mini Programs, and to introduce new social experiences enabled by technology innovations. Annual Report 2019 5 WorldReginfo - 28526843-ddd0-4856-824e-fd9cb6a364c3 Chairman’s Statement Online Games In our online games business, our strategic focus was on enhancing our internal R&D capability and external partnerships, and expanding our overseas business. During 2019, we extended our China leadership and made notable progress in our overseas business, largely due to the success of our games PUBG Mobile and Call of Duty Mobile, as well as the new mode Teamfight Tactics within LoL. Our international games revenues more than doubled year-on-year, constituting 23% of our online games revenue in the fourth quarter of 2019. As of the end of 2019, five out of the top ten most-popular smart phone games by DAU internationally were developed by us. In addition to establishing our original IP franchises, we developed external partnerships via a number of new investments in best-in-genre studios. Key studios such as Timi and Lightspeed & Quantum under Tencent, as well as Riot Games and Supercell, have enhanced their R&D capability, and each have several promising games in its pipeline. We believe our studios are industry leaders on PC and smart phone games, and in genres such as multi-player battle arena and tactical tournament, but still have room to enhance our capabilities in other genres such as role-playing games. Leveraging our flagship games franchises, we strengthened our eSports global leadership with LoL’s World Championship and Honour of Kings’ KPL, which were the most watched events for PC and smart phone games, respectively. Looking forward, we will seek to extend our domestic game industry leadership, reinforce our international efforts, and provide high quality new games globally. Digital Content In digital content, we focus on investing in digital content and growing our subscription business, and extending our franchise in long form video to short form video. In 2019, our fee-based VAS subscriptions increased 12% year-on-year to 180 million. We experienced slower subscriber and revenue growth for our video subscription service in 2019 than 2018, reflecting delays in broadcasting key content; however our Tencent Video subscriptions reached 106 million, and we remained the clear industry leader in terms of content, users, and financial metrics, reducing our 2019 operating loss to below RMB3 billion, substantially lower than the loss rates of industry peers.

  • Chapter # 1 Introduction
    Chapter # 1 Introduction Mobile applications (apps) have been gaining rising popularity dueto the advances in mobile technologies and the large increase in the number of mobile users. Consequently, several app distribution platforms, which provide a new way for developing, downloading, and updating software applications in modern mobile devices, have recently emerged. To better understand the download patterns, popularity trends, and development strategies in this rapidly evolving mobile app ecosystem, we systematically monitored and analyzed four popular third-party Android app marketplaces. Our study focuses on measuring, analyzing, and modeling the app popularity distribution, and explores how pricing and revenue strategies affect app popularity and developers’ income. Our results indicate that unlike web and peer-to-peer file sharing workloads, the app popularity distribution deviates from commonly observed Zipf-like models. We verify that these deviations can be mainly attributed to a new download pattern, to which we refer as the clustering effect. We validate the existence of this effect by revealing a strong temporal affinity of user downloads to app categories. Based on these observations, we propose a new formal clustering model for the distribution of app downloads, and demonstrate that it closely fits measured data. Moreover, we observe that paid apps follow a different popularity distribution than free apps, and show how free apps with an ad-based revenue strategy may result in higher financial benefits than paid apps. We believe that this study can be useful to appstore designers for improving content delivery and recommendation systems, as well as to app developers for selecting proper pricing policies to increase their income.
