If you look at the world’s most valuable companies, you won’t be surprised to find the likes of Apple, Microsoft, and Google. But one name does stand out: Tencent. The company is worth more than the likes of Facebook, Mastercard, and Samsung, and yet if you asked the majority of people what Tencent does, you’d be met with a confused look. The truth, is that Tencent does everything. Because whilst Tecent’s mascot is a friendly-looking penguin - a more accurate animal to embody this conglomerate would be a giant octopus, with tentacles reaching into almost every industry you can think of, all over the world. Whether you realize it or not, you almost certainly use products or services Tencent is involved with. However in Tencent’s home country of China, it’s a very different story; everyone is aware that Tencent dominates their lives. And that’s because in China, Tencent has achieved the seemingly impossible: one app to rule them all. Tencent created an app called WeChat that's been dubbed ‘the everything app’ because almost all of China’s 1.4 billion population use this app for an average of 4 hours every day, more than the average American user spends on all social media apps combined. And the reason people in China use WeChat so much is because it’s basically every app you can think of rolled into one. Its essentially Facebook, PayPal, Whatsapp, Netflix, Google, Spotify, Uber, Yelp, Tinder, Zoom, YouTube, Deliveroo, Amazon and lots lots more all in one single app. You pay your bills through it, call your friends through it, and essentially live your entire life through it. However one single company having access to literally all your data - from your exact location to your entire bank history to every message and call and search you’ve ever made - it’s a lot. And then it gets worse when you realize that the line between where Tencent ends and the Chinese government begins, is blurry. Meaning, the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) has access to all that information as well, making WeChat one of the most powerful surveillance tools ever. Plus, private messages and images that are sent through Tencent’s apps like WeChat are scanned to see if they need to be censored - if you say anything the Chinese government doesn’t want you to, you could end up in jail, or disappear. The Chinese government has even openly confirmed that it can access deleted WeChat conversations. Tencent has used its vast wealth and resources to expand into many industries. They are also the largest gaming company in the world - with revenue significantly higher than any competitor. Gaming is just one of countless different industries Tencent operates in. Also Tencent’s Payments division is nearly as big as PayPal’s entire business. And its reported WeChatPay generates over 1 billion payment transactions per day - more than Visa and Mastercard. But it’s only recently that the West has started to realise the influence Tencent - and thus China - actually have... In this business documentary, we'll answer questions like: What is Tencent? What does Tencent do? How did Tencent and other Chinese businesses get so big?

The burgeoning population of wild turkeys across American farmlands presents a multifaceted challenge to agricultural practices. These birds, once on the brink of extinction but now flourishing in millions, can cause significant damage to a variety of crops, including corn, soybeans, and wheat, by foraging for food, leading to considerable economic losses for farmers. In response, farmers have adopted a range of strategies to mitigate these impacts.

Most Glock fans only know the Austrian brand for their polymer framed 9mm handguns- but in the late 1970s, Gaston Glock manufactured all kinds of plastic goods. One of those items was the Glock Feldmesser 78- a fixed blade combat knife submitted to a competition held by the Austrian government. The special forces were so impressed by Glock's genius design that the Glock 78 knife became the official service blade of the military- and it's still being used today

Hershey's is one of the biggest chocolate companies in the world, worth nearly $47 billion dollars. And yet, the Hershey Company was founded by a boy who struggled through poverty and went bankrupt multiple times. This is the true rags to riches story of a chocolate empire - this is the insane and inspiring story of Milton Hershey. Milton Hershey’s early life was difficult to say the least. He was born in 1857 in a rural dairy farming community called Derry Township, in Pennsylvania. Whilst Milton’s parents both came from respectable families, Milton’s father Henry, had a bad habit of falling for shady get-rich-quick-schemes. You see, Henry had always been determined to succeed in business, but he would rarely stick to any of the projects he started. He tried and failed 17 different businesses before moving the family to Oil City, Pennsylvania - and they only moved there because he was trying to get rich on a recent oil boom, but they arrived when it was already too late to make any money. Milton was just 4 years old at the time, and his father’s poor financial decisions meant the Hershey family had almost completely run out of money - in fact young Milton was extremely skinny and on the brink of starvation. This is the story of Milton Hershey and the Hershey Company - including Hershey's caramel business, Hershey's chocolate business, and Hershey's philanthropy. It's an inspiring entrepreneurial business success story with business and investment / money lessons for all of us about building wealth.

In 1957, when McDonald’s was doubling the number of restaurants it opened every year, a little-known Florida start-up called Insta-Burger was on the brink of bankruptcy and fighting to keep its doors open. However, this failing business would later become the global fast food empire Burger King, making tens of billions of dollars a year, and operating in over 100 countries around the world. The truth of how they achieved this is crazy, and involves smashing up their own equipment with a hatchet. But, whilst Burger King is undeniably an inspiring underdog entrepreneurial success story, there’s also a dark twist. Because the secret to Burger King’s success… was stolen. In this story of Burger king, we’ll see how Burger King became successful, the company’s successes and failures, and lots more fascinating details about the history of Burger King.

Domino's pizza story (by MagnatesMedia)... Welcome to the history of the company: Domino's Pizza - in this business documentary we'll go on a journey through the history of Domino's business, from back when it was a single store called Dominick's, to present day where Domino's is a gigantic global brand making billions of dollars. In many ways, the Domino's story is an incredible rags to riches story, as Tom Monaghan had a very rough start in life and had to overcome countless obstacles to build Domino's into such a successful company. However Domino's business has at times been surrounded by controversy - such as their 'deadly delivery driver' problem (as a result of a marketing campaign), the hostage situation as a result of their NOID mascot, and a disastrous viral YouTube video that severely hurt Domino's brand & finances.

THE INSANE STORY OF NINTENDO - At first, Nintendo had nothing to do with video gaming. Its president Hiroshi Yamauchi didn’t even play video games. Instead, Nintendo made hanafuda playing cards which were used to gamble, and their biggest customer was the Yakuza (essentially the Japanese Mafia). So, how did a small family-run card business turn into one of the best-selling gaming companies of all time - responsible for some of the most iconic characters ever created like Mario, Luigi, Donkey Kong, and so many more? As well as creating countless iconic consoles like the Gameboy, Wii, Switch and NES. It’s time to take a journey through Nintendo’s epic history. We'll not only cover Nintendo's strange origin story and the full Nintendo history, but also the birth of Mario, the Kirby vs King Kong lawsuit, the console wars with Sega, how Nintendo betrayed Sony, and so much more from Nintendo's crazy past. This is the insane story of Nintendo

Andrew Carnegie Documentary: How does a boy born into poverty become the richest man in the world? Andrew Carnegie is the personification of the American Dream; an extraordinary rise from the very bottom to the absolute financial top. However, I must warn you: there are two different sides to Andrew Carnegie. On the one hand, Andrew Carnegie was a hypocrite - he preached about workers rights publicly, and yet privately he slashed his workers wages, significantly increased their working hours, and essentially exploited his staff as slave labour in barbaric dangerous conditions to build his fortune. Carnegie destroyed unions, and his actions resulted in countless unnecessary brutal deaths - for example the tragedy of Homestead. And yet, on the other hand, Andrew Carnegie may be the greatest ever philanthropist - after becoming the richest man in the world, he then spent the rest of his life giving almost all of that money away via philanthropy. He funded universities, schools and nearly 3000 free public libraries around the world to help others improve their own position in life. Many believe he inspired future billionaires to give more of their money away and embrace corporate philanthropy. Andrew Carnegie is also responsible for incredible innovation that helped build America and change the way we do business - we’ll look at his rise through the corporate ranks and how he built his fortune in the steel business. Andrew Carnegie’s story is both an inspiring rags to riches tale, and a controversial business documentary. And the history of Andrew Carnegie involves several other business titans - for example Carnegie was bitter rivals with John D Rockefeller, and also ended up making the biggest business deal in history with JP Morgan, which is how Carnegie became the richest man alive. But before all that wealth and drama, we need to travel back to Scotland in 1835, where Andrew Carnegie was born into abject poverty…

THE STORY OF PEPSI & PEPSICO - Here’s the truth Pepsi don’t want you to know: Pepsi started off as a rip off of Coca-Cola. And Pepsi Cola even tried to sell their company to Coca-Cola on three separate occasions. But Coke kept turning them down. As a result, Pepsi struggled and literally went bankrupt on two separate occasions. And yet, fast forward to present day - and PepsiCo makes around $80 billion dollars of revenue a year - more than double the Coca Cola company. You see, Pepsi is no longer just a drinks business - they are a gigantic empire that owns more food and beverage products than you can even imagine. Lays. Gatorade. Cheetos. Aquafina. Tropicana. Quaker Oats. Mountain Dew. Doritos. The brands PepsiCo owns are endless. In fact at one point Pepsi even started buying giant fast food chains like KFC and Pizza Hut. They were even negotiating a deal to buy a huge fleet of Navy warships! So, how did all of this happen? How did Pepsi go from bankruptcy to global domination? From humble beginnings to controversial conglomerate with blood on its hands? Welcome to the insane history of Pepsi.

THE STORY OF GOOGLE+ - Google's biggest ever failure (aka how Facebook beat Google). Google should have easily won the social network war. Not only did Google have more money, experience, employees, and users - Google actually launched their first social network site in January 2004 (a social media site called ORKUT), a few weeks before Facebook launched, and long before the likes of Twitter and Instagram. In fact Google has created many different attempts to directly compete with all of these platforms - and yet they’ve all failed. Most famous was Google+, which has since been described as ‘Google’s biggest ever failure’ - it became a joke, and not only did people not want to use it, many actively hated it. So, what was the REAL reason Google + failed? With the help of leaked emails and interviews, in this video we’ll explore behind the scenes of the rise and fall of Google +. Because Google is a company that has achieved such ridiculously impressive things - from organizing the internet with search, to indexing the world’s books, mapping the planet, and creating countless innovative and helpful products. And yet when it comes to building a social network to rival Facebook, Google has repeatedly failed spectacularly. Now technically you could say YouTube is a social network - but it’s obviously more of a video platform than friends connecting and sharing updates. Which is why Google spent so much money trying to make Google+ work. So let’s go on a journey into the inner workings of Google, and find out the truth. Welcome to the INSANE story of Google+ and the battle for social media between big tech.

☕ Welcome to the story of Starbucks! - This Starbucks documentary looks at the past, present and future of the coffee behemoth, Starbucks - from its humble beginnings selling coffee beans in Seattle, to its global domination of most of the world. This MagnatesMedia mini-movie looks at the business success of Starbucks & Howard Schultz, and how Starbucks took over the world. For every single one of us, there are a handful of defining moments in your life. For Howard Schultz, the mastermind behind Starbucks’ empire, one of those moments came at just 7 years old. His father had just been fired from his delivery job after falling on ice and breaking his hip and ankle. The family had no medical insurance, no savings, and in that moment, no hope. Flash forward to today, and Howard Schultz is a multi billionaire, and is responsible not just for transforming the coffee industry, but several other industries most people might not realise. But, to understand how a simple coffee store can become a global empire, we need to look at the 4 stages of Starbucks. It begins with Howard Schultz being intrigued by the amount of orders a little coffee company was making (Starbucks), so Howard went to one of their Seattle stores to check Starbucks out for himself. He tried their coffee, and was immediately hooked. So much so, that he decided he wanted to be a part of Starbucks, and reached out to 3 guys who’d founded the company, to see if they’d hire him. But, the only person who thought Howard Schultz joining Starbucks was a good idea, was Howard himself. Despite this, Howard was persistent. He was unfulfilled in his current job, and could see huge potential for Starbucks. So, he kept writing to the Starbucks founders, and after over a year of convincing, Howard joined the Starbucks team. Little did anyone know, that decision, would change everything

The banana king was one of the richest and most powerful men in the world. When a country’s government didn’t give him what he wanted, he simply overthrew the government. He declared literal war on his competitors. And he built a gigantic business empire from nothing. You see, before he became the banana king, this man was simply known as Sam - an immigrant with no money, no connections, and no real hope. Sam’s journey to building such a successful company is an astonishing underdog story. And throughout his life, Sam became entangled with countless famous figures, from US presidents to business magnates like JP Morgan. And yet it all begins, with ripe bananas. However, I must warn you: what starts out as an inspirational success story will later take a much darker disturbing turn. As Sam became involved with an extremely controversial company called United Fruit, otherwise known as The Octopus - because of how they wrapped their tentacles around everyone, and caused devastating consequences. Honestly, I’ve covered a lot of fascinating business stories, but this is one of the craziest. You may never have heard the name Sam Zemurray before, but by the end of this video, you’ll be glad you did. This is the insane true story of the banana king - one of the craziest business stories!

McDonald’s Movie - The INSANE Story of McDonald’s by MagnatesMedia… McDonald’s is the largest restaurant chain in the world, with over 40,000 restaurants spread over 120 countries. By this point, the golden arches are an inescapable sight everywhere you go, and McDonald’s has sold well over 300 billion hamburgers. But the original McDonald brothers who started the business, had their company all but stolen from them. Because what began as a single drive-in restaurant was soon transformed into a global fast food empire because of an unrelenting milkshake machine salesman (Ray Kroc). And even though it may appear to be a simple burger business from the outside, McDonald’s secretly dominates an entirely different industry completely unrelated to selling fast food. At times, McDonald’s is an inspiring story of an entrepreneur defying all the odds and building an empire. But at the same time, it's a story of betrayal, fraud, and countless scandals. At one point, McDonald’s even came face to face with the Italian mafia. If you’ve ever wondered how McDonald’s started, how McDonald’s got so big, or the truth about McDonald’s history & Ray Kroc / The McDonald Brothers, this McDonald’s documentary is for you. Let’s journey through the insane history of McDonald’s.

THE STORY OF JOHN D ROCKEFELLER - The business magnate and richest man in the world (and the world’s first billionaire). There was a time when anyone would tremble upon hearing the name John D. Rockefeller. Not only was he the world’s first billionaire, he’s one of the richest people in history. His empire - Standard Oil - became the most dominant monopoly in the world by brutally crushing competitors, taking control of multiple industries, bribing the government into submission, and treating business as if it was war. Because of his ruthless business practices and secretive deals, Rockefeller made many enemies. His career is filled with bitter rivalries like with Andrew Carnegie, and even ferocious battles against US Presidents. But, before he was the titan of the oil industry, Rockefeller was at the very bottom of society. His story is one of only a handful of cases where someone manages to rise from the depths of poverty, to the absolute peak of wealth and power. Rockefeller’s story is at times inspiring, and at times… chilling. It’s an example of what happens when greed and ambition go completely unchecked. This Rockefeller documentary shows the insane true story of John D Rockefeller, the history of Standard Oil and one of the craziest rags to riches stories. At times it’s an inspiring business story with lessons for entrepreneurs, at other times it’s a dark business story showing the worst of corporate greed. And after crushing his competition, through a series of strategic investments Rockefeller became the richest person in the world (even surpassing Andrew Carnegie). Adjusting for inflation, he is one of the richest self made men in history. And when his business empire got split up and he got given shares in other companies, he became even richer as their stock price soared on the stock market. But before all that wealth, let me take you back to 1839, where a young John D. Rockefeller is born into poverty…
