As we all know, Samsung has a strong presence in South Korea, occupying a leading position in various industries in China, and at the same time taking a leading position in the field of semiconductor electronic products in the world. Many people also laughed and said that a Korean can't escape taxes and Samsung all his life.
Samsung also covers heavy industry, semiconductor hardware and some service industries. It can be said that Samsung is almost a microcosm of the Korean economy, including industry.
For Sony, it may just be that the global ranking of consumer electronics and sensors is far from that of Samsung. If it is Sony's parent company Mitsui Consortium, it can completely fight against Samsung. For example, Mitsui Group has many enterprises in the fields of finance and insurance, commercial real estate construction, mineral metallurgy automobile, shipbuilding oil, chemical machinery manufacturing, electronic communication, light industry circulation and storage, scientific research and information transportation.
So after Samsung Electronics occupies half of South Korea, we will go to see Mitsui Group again, and we will find another behemoth. Samsung Group has three Fortune 500 companies, namely Samsung Electronics, Samsung Life Insurance and Samsung Products. But if we compare the Mitsui consortium, we will find that the top 500 companies in the world are Toyota Mitsui, Sumitomo Financial Group, Toshiba Mitsui and Sony.
At the same time, their fields have actually reached the top level. For example, Samsung Electronics is in an absolute leading position in the electronics industry, but Toyota of Mitsui Group is also a world-class enterprise in the automobile industry. However, Mitsui Consortium has Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Mitsui Products, which are far behind Samsung.
In this Korea-Japan semiconductor, we also found that although Korean semiconductors are very strong, it is a pity that many key materials are still from Japan, which makes Samsung, including some semiconductor companies in South Korea, very uncomfortable.
So if you just compare Sony and Samsung, then Sony is of course at a disadvantage. You mean that you are only an important branch of Mitsui Consortium, which can be counted as one of the top eight, but Mitsui Group also has seven important Sony-level enterprises. In terms of overall influence, including core competitiveness, Mitsui Consortium is above Samsung.
Who has stronger comprehensive strength, Samsung, Sony or Apple?
This question is quite level, because these three companies are all super enterprises, and they are all world-famous. Even ordinary people should have heard of these three names.
If these three companies want to rank, it is really not easy to rank.
First of all, Samsung is not the Samsung mobile phone we see, it also includes other industries, such as heavy industry, semiconductor, service industry and so on, which can be said to be a super complex.
Samsung refers to a group, and there are many branches below. The biggest one is Samsung Electronics, which we are very familiar with at ordinary times. Mainly mobile phones, one-sixth of South Korea's GDP is created by Samsung Group. Even the South Korean government has to respect Samsung for three points. When Samsung coughs, South Korea trembles.
Three subsidiaries of Samsung were selected as Fortune Global 500 companies.
Secondly, Sony is also a powerful enterprise. Sony is a pioneer in the fields of audio-visual, electronic games, communication products and information technology in the world, and also the earliest pioneer in developing portable digital products in the world.
Big three: one of the largest electronic product manufacturers in the world, one of the three giants in the world video game industry, and one of the six major Hollywood film companies in the United States. All three industries are at the leading level in the world.
But now the most familiar Sony mobile phone has faded out of our sight, and Sony's lens sensor is one of the best and we are most familiar with it.
It is not unreasonable for Sony to be called "Sony Dafa" by netizens.
2018 July 19, the Fortune Global 500 list was released, and Sony ranked 97th.
Finally, apples. In 20 18, Apple's market value exceeded 1 trillion dollars, and its share price reached a record high of 203.57 dollars.
Apple's main businesses include computer hardware, computer software, consumer electronics products, digital publishing, and digitalization of mobile phones. Now Apple's mobile phone has become an arcade in China, which can be seen almost everywhere. Even a few years ago, some people even sold their kidneys for the iPhone, and all the people lined up all night were children playing house.
On July 20 19, it was selected as Fortune Global 500, and was named as "the most respected company in the world" by Fortune magazine for1/year in a row.
If you have to rank these three companies, who do you think can rank first? If I had to choose, it would be Samsung that exists like an empire.
Samsung > Sony > Apple!
Sony is really brilliant this year. 48 million Sony cameras have captured the hearts of many domestic mobile phones. However, even if it was excellent, Samsung immediately gave a better product. Whether it's the 64 million Samsung camera that Red Rice note 8 pro is about to use or the future/kloc-0.08 million pixel camera, Samsung really can't be ignored in terms of technology.
So, is Samsung > Sony > Apple really accurate? We all know that Samsung Electronics is not everything to Samsung. Samsung Electronics is only a part of Samsung Group. For us, what we know best is Samsung Electronics.
But you can't ignore this business of selling fish and becoming a monk. Today, Samsung has become a behemoth, which is not comparable to ordinary enterprises.
There is a passage describing Samsung in this way. It has 85 companies, nearly 300 legal persons and offices in nearly 70 countries and regions, and the total number of employees exceeds 200,000. Its business involves electronics, finance, machinery, chemistry and other fields. Look at an enterprise classification of Samsung Group:
Of course, when we say that Sony is not as good as Samsung, we don't mean that Sony's shareholders are not as good as Samsung. Yes, Sony also has shareholders, namely Mitsui Group. Although Sony Group is not the younger brother of Mitsui Group, as the predecessor of Sony Group, Mitsui Group is indeed hidden among the strong, not weaker than Samsung.
Sony, one of the world's largest manufacturers of electronic products, one of the three giants in the world video game industry and one of the six major Hollywood film companies in the United States, although its actual performance is not as good as Samsung's, you can't ignore its achievements.
And why is Apple at the bottom? Because I think Apple, like Nokia, will always be replaced by emerging companies, and now we can slowly see the decline of Apple.
As long as you know, Jobs' idol is Akio Morita; Jobs' ultimate ideal is to "build Apple into a company like Sony"!
I guess the original intention of the topic is definitely not to compare Apple's mobile phone business, Samsung's mobile phone business and Sony's mobile phone business. That's not comparable. It must be Apple. Samsung > Sony, here only talk about revenue, profit and influence, not sales.
And if you want to compare Apple, Samsung and Sony. If so, it is Samsung > Sony > Apple.
First of all, Samsung Group can be described in one sentence, that is, everything from aircraft rockets to tanks and submarines can be produced, as well as cannons, mobile phones, chips, cars, biomedicine, cosmetics and daily necessities. It can be said that there is nothing that Samsung cannot make.
At present, Samsung Group has 79 companies including Samsung Electronics, with more than 230,000 employees. At the same time, Samsung Group has three Fortune 500 companies, namely Samsung Electronics, Samsung Insurance and Samsung C&. T company, ranked 15, 426 and 444 in the world top 500 respectively.
In addition, Samsung Group also has Samsung SDI, Samsung Electric, Samsung Corning, Samsung Network, Samsung Fire Protection, Samsung Securities, Samsung Products, Samsung Heavy Industry, Samsung Engineering, Samsung Aviation, Samsung Military Industry and Samsung Life.
Sony's parent company, Mitsui Consortium, also exists like Samsung Group, involving financial insurance, commercial housing and real estate construction, mining and metallurgy automobile, shipbuilding oil, chemical machinery manufacturing, electronic communication, light industry circulation and storage, scientific research and information transportation, etc.
Our daily understanding of Sony is just similar to the position of Samsung Electronics in the Samsung Group, and it only makes digital electronic products such as mobile phones, CMOS chips and cameras.
As for Apple, although its market value is high, it is mainly because of its strong mobile phone, as well as its iOS series, iPad and macbook. Compared with Samsung Group and Sony's parent company Mitsui Consortium, it is a little worse.
Apple, Sony and Samsung, as star enterprises in the United States, Japan and South Korea, are even as influential as some countries. You can feel it from 19 financial report data.
Apple's revenue 1.84 trillion, net profit 390.2 billion, market value 1.4 trillion dollars.
Samsung's revenue 1.37 trillion RMB, net profit 1.647 billion RMB, and market value of 320 billion USD.
Sony's revenue was 5.511billion RMB, and its net profit was 610.40 billion RMB. At present, its market value is $76.9 billion.
In terms of market value, Apple is linked to Samsung and Sony. But in the business world, it is not a simple market value theory. Let's take a look at the soft and hard strength of the Big Three.
Orion belt
Samsung, founded in 1938, now accounts for 33% of all Korean enterprises' revenue and 20% of Korean GDP.
The well-known Samsung mobile phone is Samsung Electronics, which belongs to Samsung Group and has 85 subsidiaries.
These companies include: Samsung Life Insurance, the largest life insurance company in Korea; Samsung products, the largest construction company in South Korea, you are not familiar with this name, but you must know its works: Burj Dubai, Kuala Lumpur Twin Towers, Taipei 10 1 Building; What is even more frightening is that South Korea's largest arms dealer is Samsung, which means that Samsung can also build tanks, armored vehicles and fighter planes.
For a Korean, three things are inevitable: death, taxes and Samsung.
A Korean's life is like this: he was born in Samsung Hospital, went to Samsung School, used Samsung electronic products, worked in Samsung Company and died in Samsung Hospital. ...
Only 17 years later, the Samsung empire seems to be going downhill and its profits plummeted; A lot of negative news has been exposed recently, and it is not known whether the myth can continue.
Sony
Electronic products can rise to the level of users' beliefs. Apart from Apple, it is estimated that there is only Sony. Sony Dafa smells good.
Although Sony's mobile phone is almost dying for various reasons, other Sony products are still thriving.
From headphones to vans, as long as you want to buy, there is nothing that Sony can't do, which is both easy to use and beautiful.
It is said that there was a Sony Walkman at that time, and beautiful girls in the class would talk to you more.
On headphones, whether it is noise reduction or Bluetooth, there are almost Sony's shadows in various lists;
Sony's TV sales of5,000 yuan are also far ahead;
In addition, Sony's heavyweight powder artifact PS has pulled the game overlord Nintendo off the throne of the legendary host; It is said that PS5 will be released soon, and fans can prepare their money bags.
Sony, not only electronic products, but also audio and video. Many big IP copyrights are in Sony's hands, such as Spider-Man, 007 series. In addition, Sony Music also relies on massive copyrights to make money.
Due to the collapse of the mobile phone business and the elimination of products such as walkman, Sony's ability to enter the public eye is difficult to compare with Apple's.
apple
Needless to say, apples. This is an enterprise that constantly redefines various industries, such as computers, MP3 players, mobile phones, PADs, watches and headphones. ...
In many fields, it is not a pioneer, but every time it enters, a certain field will often undergo earth-shaking changes.
If you want to talk about market value, Apple is undoubtedly the first. If we want to discuss the actual value, among the three companies, Samsung is undoubtedly the first. For the country and society, the most rootless thing is apple. Needless to say, Samsung is important to South Korea, and Sony's support for the world electronics industry is not dispensable. America can't live without Loma, Boeing, Microsoft, Intel and IBM, but it doesn't matter if it can't live without Apple. After all, apart from being a consumer terminal product, Apple has no ability to influence the national economy and people's livelihood.
In terms of profit market value, Apple is the best.
The picture taken by Apple's mobile phone
In recent years, Sony has gone downhill. To put it bluntly, it is not qualified to compare with the first echelon of Apple and Samsung. In terms of revenue and profit, Sony has already become the second echelon.
What are you comparing? Are you going to compare Apple with the whole Samsung Group and Sony Group? Then there is no comparability, because Samsung and Sony involve too many industries.
Samsung's industries include: communication, electronics, chips, medical care, education, construction, real estate, navigation, aviation, people's livelihood, finance, e-commerce, agriculture and many other industries.
Sony's industries are: electronics, chips, communications, optical imaging, medical care, aviation, finance and so on.
Apple's main business is relatively simple.
You can only say that Apple is better than Samsung and Sony's subsidiaries in the same industry (market value, profit and revenue), but if it is compared with Samsung and Sony, it is meaningless to take it.
To put it mildly, the largest shareholder of the Korean company Samsung Group is the major financial institutions and consortia on Wall Street in the United States.
