Xishanju Game
Previously, Tencent and Xishanju had already cooperated in the game business. In the beginning of 2016, Tencent Mutual Entertainment and Xishanju reached an agent cooperation on “Jian Xia Love Hand Tour†and “Jian Wang 3: Fingertipsâ€.
In the context of the overall downturn in the end-game market, Xishan Habitat Tour continued to grow rapidly for several consecutive years. According to the 2016 annual results of Jinshan Software, the revenue of Jian Wang 3 in 2016 reached RMB1.3928 billion, an increase of 56% year-on-year.
In terms of mobile games, Xishanju’s “Jian Xia Love†series of mobile games also consolidates Xishan’s position as the first camp echelon in the field of mobile games.
In all kinds of game rankings, the games that occupy the top ten all year round are roughly from three companies, namely Tencent, NetEase and Xishanju. Recently, Netease's continuous efforts in the game business, so that the industry agreed that NetEase has the hope to shake the status of Tencent game hegemony. Tencent’s strategic stake in Xishanju will greatly supplement the high-quality IP. Perhaps Tencent intends to block the growth of NetEase through external cooperation.

After Tencent has acquired shares in Xishan, we still maintain independent business development and decision management, and adhere to our unique R&D philosophy. The management team is confident and has the ability to integrate internal and external resources to lead everyone in a brighter future.
From end-to-end travel to hand travel, from research and development to distribution, from the inside to the outside, a strategic framework of all-around, in-depth, multi-angle has been formed. Xishanju built a complete game ecology and maintained its leading edge in the market.
Side-by-side travel to fight with both fists, R&D and publishing go hand in hand. Xishanju and Millet, Tencent reached the industrial front line alliance, even more powerful, this combination, so that we stand at a higher starting point, has a broader stage.
Thirty fame dust and soil, eight thousand miles road and moon. In the game on the road, we have been stubbornly forward, only looking at the wind and rain. We use the initial heart as a sword, our faith as a shield, and the way we do it. We have achieved achievements that make us proud and praise the industry. However, all glory of the past will eventually be sealed.
I hope that the brothers will always keep the original heart and love of playing games for the past 20 years in the future. With the spirit of unity and enterprising, the spirit of tenacious struggle, go further and fly higher. Let the world know that there is such a Chinese game company called Xishanju!
