Riot Games Inc

League of Legends players will recognize the name Riot Games from the developer’s work on the game. Once released in 2009, the game quickly grew in popularity and eventually became the company’s most well-known product. Despite the fact that Riot Games and Tencent have been working together for a long time, their relationship peaked in 2015.

The remaining shares in the company were purchased by a Chinese corporation. As a result, it became the parent company of Riot Games. Before this event, it already owned 93 percent of the gaming company. With this in mind, we believe the new development was already a foregone conclusion at the time of publication. Riot Games has a market capitalization of $6 billion.

It’s difficult to imagine what our lives would be like today if Uber didn’t exist. The app allows users to request a ride with a single button press. Travis Kalanick and Garrett Camp came up with the app’s concept in 2009. Much progress has been made since then! It has grown into a multibillion-dollar corporation that is well-known not only in the United States but throughout the world.

Baidu Inc., a Chinese internet company, invested over $600 million in 2014 in the hopes of assisting the company’s expansion into the Chinese market. It was a win-win situation because Baidu was able to use the app to grow its own mobile payment business, which was beneficial to both parties. We’re relieved that everything went as planned!
