Inside China Tech: Razer CEO Tan Min-Liang talks tattoos, Tencent and why he hates some tech CEOs

This week’s Inside China Tech gives you an insight into one of the most well-known and charismatic chief executives of the gaming world - Tan Min-Liang, from Razer.

Zen Soo chats with fellow tech reporter Zheping Huang about his afternoon spent hanging out, playing Apex Legends and interviewing Tan at the Razer store in Hong Kong's Causeway Bay.

Tan now splits his time between Singapore, San Francisco and Hong Kong, overseeing a workforce of 1,500 for a company that has grown from a small mouse maker to a gaming hardware company that also provides software and services like payments. Razer has also partnered with Chinese gaming giants such as Tencent and NetEase on mobile gaming initiatives.

In this podcast he speaks about developing the world’s first mouse specifically for gamers, the responsibility he feels when people tattoo not just the Razer logo on their bodies but also the image of his face, what it's like to tell your Mom you're dropping out of law school to focus on gaming, and why he hates the kind of CEOs who wake up at 5am to meditate, run and reply to emails before beginning their work day.
