Well, here at FintekNews we are always eager to learn and share relevant stories and thoughts. First, Tencent is NOT a hip hop rapper (who knew?). Second, with a name like Tencent how did they get $1.8 Billion to hand over to Tesla? And for ONLY a 5% stake? Wow! Think we should rename ourselves 'Twentycent'. In any event, congrats on the investment.
