South China Morning Post reported on Friday, Oct. 2, Tencent employees were recently given a free Huawei Mate Xs as a company gift.
At least 10,000 selected employees from the company's Platform and Content Group (PCG) department were included.
As said, Tencent wants to congratulate the unit by giving the free smartphone for its second anniversary that creates content for Tencent's social, video, and news platforms.
It may also serve as a gift for the National Day that occurred on Oct. 1, a holiday commemorating the People's Republic of China's founding.
Though the gift seemed to be a token of appreciation for their hard work, on Wednesday, Sept. 30, a lot of the Huawei Mate Xs company gifts were found from online stores in China.
Instead of using the devices for their own, the Tencent employees decided to sell the gift on Chinese sites and charged them for double their prices.
SCMP noted sellers priced the devices for at least 2.5 times more expensive than the original $2,500 model. Other sellers even priced them at over $3,000.
