Mitsui Consortium: At present, there are 25 large enterprises. Among them, Mitsui Bank, Mitsui Property and Mitsui Real Estate Company are the three pillar enterprises of the consortium. Its core enterprises include Sakura Bank, Mitsui Property, New Prince Paper, Toshiba, Sony, Sanyo, NEC, Toyota, Mitsui, Toray, Mitsui Real Estate and so on. The consortium has advantages in chemical industry, heavy machinery, integrated motors, automobile manufacturing, real estate, nuclear power generation, semiconductors, medical care and office electronic equipment. According to JPMorgan Chase's data, the valuation of its large enterprises is about $422.6 billion (of course, this does not include the market value of the major companies under the Toyota Group).
Samsung Group: It is the largest enterprise in Korea and a multinational enterprise group. Samsung Group includes many international subsidiaries, including Samsung Electronics, Samsung Products, Samsung Life and Samsung Airlines. Its business involves electronics, finance, machinery, chemistry and other fields. Samsung Electronics is its largest subsidiary. At present, it is the second largest mobile phone manufacturer and the largest electronic enterprise in the world. Samsung Group is a family business, and the Li family is hereditary. All its Samsung industries are family businesses, managed by other family members. The current team leader has been passed on to the third generation of Lee. The total market value of all its large enterprises is about $320 billion.
Therefore, from the rough calculation of the market value of the major enterprises under the two consortia, Mitsui Consortium, which has a longer enterprise history, is dominant, and from the perspective of the proportion of GDP generated by the country, there is no doubt that Samsung accounts for a quarter of South Korea's GDP output value. There is a saying that South Korea will not let Samsung go bankrupt for its own economic development. I hope my answer will satisfy you. Thank you.
Some people think that Samsung can definitely crush the existence of Mitsui. After all, many people don't know Mitsui at all. You may know Mitsubishi, but you seldom know Samsung. However, some people think that Mitsui is the real imperial form, and Samsung is not qualified to mention shoes in front of it.
Know mitsui
Maybe you know Mitsui Hisashi, but do you know Mitsui? Mitsui Group is one of the four monopoly chaebols in Japan, which was developed by the chaebol ruled by Mitsui family. For a long time, it has been the first of the four chaebol in Japan.
Say a few names to know the power of Mitsui, such as Toyota, Toshiba, Sony, Sakura Bank and so on. From finance-chemical industry, heavy machinery-automobile-semiconductor and so on.
What you may not know is that 1993, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. ranked first among the top 500 companies in the world, and now it ranks 157:
Its subsidiary Toyota is currently ranked tenth:
Toshiba is 37 1:
Mitsui's strength is not a collection of all enterprises, but its enterprises are scattered. Why is it scattered? Because the tree attracts the wind, in order to hide the strength, the finances of each subsidiary are independently accounted for.
How does Samsung compare with it?
In fact, if we simply compare some Mitsui enterprises now, it may not be as good as Samsung. Samsung, also known as one-fifth of South Korea's GDP, is an inevitable enterprise for Koreans all their lives.
Samsung has now entered all the Fortune 500 companies:
The combined income may only be equivalent to that of Toyota Group. It can be seen that Mitsui can't compare with Samsung if it is not split. Although Samsung is powerful, it is not as powerful as Mitsui, who made a fortune!
As the largest consortium in South Korea, with the rise of South Korea's economy in recent years, Samsung has overwhelmed traditional Japanese electronics giants such as Sony, Panasonic and Canon, especially Samsung Electronics, the flagship enterprise of the Samsung consortium, and has occupied the first place in the fields of smart phones, flat-panel TVs and semiconductors around the world. Samsung Electronics is well-deserved as the first technology enterprise in Asia.
However, it is still too early to say that Samsung has surpassed Japanese enterprise groups, and it is estimated that Samsung itself dare not boast of such Haikou.
The strength behind the Japanese consortium is unfathomable. The six chaebol, Mitsui, Mitsubishi, Sumitomo, Fuji, Sanhe and dai-ichi kangyo bank, control 60% of total assets and operating income in Japan, which is similar to that of the four Korean consortia. However, after all, the Japanese chaebol has a history of hundreds of years, and its industrial layout is wide and far-reaching, far exceeding that of the Korean chaebol. Take Mitsui as an example. On the surface, you don't see much influence, but if you uncover the mystery of Mitsui, you will find the real strength of this consortium.
First of all, from the perspective of enterprise scale.
Samsung Group has three Fortune 500 companies, namely Samsung Electronics, Samsung Life Insurance and Samsung Products. So how many Fortune 500 companies are related to Mitsui Consortium? Toyota Motor Corporation, Sumitomo Mitsui Financial Group, Mitsui & Co., Ltd. and Toshiba are all Fortune 500 companies. Moreover, Toyota has two Fortune 500 companies, Denso and Aisin Seiki, both of which are auto parts manufacturers. In other words, there are 6 Fortune 500 companies directly under Mitsui, and there are 7&; The major shareholder is I Holdings of Ito Yokado and Mitsui Enterprise. Together with Sony, the first supernumerary of Mitsui Consortium, there are eight Fortune 500 companies.
Both consortia have top enterprises in the industry. Samsung Electronics is one of the best enterprise giants in the electronics industry, and Toyota Motor is the most powerful enterprise in the global automobile industry, representing the highest level of industrial competitiveness in South Korea and Japan.
core enterprise
Mitsui has two core enterprises, Sumitomo Mitsui Finance and Mitsui Products, which is exactly where Samsung is not as good as Mitsui. Among them, Mitsui is a teacher of Samsung. The establishment and growth of Samsung products is a process of imitation and learning, and the Japanese trading company is consulted regularly on the management system. Although Mitsui & Co., Ltd. is a trading company, it is more like an industrial organizer, extending its tentacles to every corner of the world. For example, by taking a stake in Brazil's Vale, a joint venture with Shanghai Baoshan Iron and Steel, and Toyota Motor Corporation, a whole industrial chain system from iron ore development, shipping, steel and automobile manufacturing is formed, which is the most powerful place for Mitsui's products.
Equipment manufacturing
In addition, in terms of equipment manufacturing, it is also the weakness of Samsung Electronics. Although Samsung occupies a dominant position in the field of AMOLED screens, most of the key equipment for panel production comes from Japan, such as the vacuum evaporation machine of TOKKI, a subsidiary of Canon, and this high-quality equipment is only produced by this company in the world, so Samsung Electronics relies heavily on Japanese equipment. Mitsui has many enterprises, giving priority to the upstream industry and complete equipment manufacturing. For example, Asahi Glass is the second largest supplier of glass display substrates in the world, second only to Corning Company of the United States; Toray is the largest carbon fiber manufacturer; Toshiba not only produces household appliances, but also has strong competitiveness in the fields of nuclear power equipment manufacturing and medical equipment.
Seeing this, you should understand that Mitsui is stronger and more famous, but its strength has gone up to the sky, so great that many people don't notice this behemoth. After all, any one of its industries is famous. So Samsung and Mitsui are not at the same level at all.
Enterprises are enterprises, groups are groups, and chaebol are chaebols. Samsung is a group company and Mitsui is a chaebol. Although they are all supported by the state, Samsung's architecture is much closer, Mitsui is relatively loose and lacks a strong core. Samsung can also take it out and say that mentioning Mitsui is boring. It is better to mention Toyota or Sony alone.
Don't think that the chaebol sounds terrible, as if they are secretly manipulating the world. In fact, they were all defeated by Wall Street. Think about it. If Wall Street is regarded as the national chaebol alliance in the United States or the Chinese prefix enterprises in China, then Mitsui Mitsubishi can make do with a place to watch the war, and Samsung can't stand it at all.
In fact, the comparison between the two is not appropriate. Mitsui's road number is higher The mature capitalist game is to hide behind a pile of industries and control them by invisible financial means. Similar to Wall Street, JPMorgan Chase used to control industries through capital operation.
Play house, ha ha ha ha ha!
What's your question, Z.
Mitsui is awesome.
