Do you know how many technology companies were established as early as the Qing Dynasty?

After the second industrial revolution, a large number of electrochemical companies representing scientific and technological progress emerged in Europe and America. Many of them are still in operation today, and they are even leaders of contemporary technology companies.

The age of these companies is roughly equivalent to the late Qing Dynasty in China: Pfizer, which led the research and development of COVID-19 vaccine, was founded in Daoguang period; Nokia, the first generation of mobile phone overlord, was founded during Tongzhi years; When the computer giant IBM was founded, Puyi had not abdicated.
