In recent years, Apple's development has been relatively fast. From 2018 to 2021, the company's market value has reached more than $3 trillion from one trillion US dollars, equivalent to 5.4 Tencents in China. So, what is the reason for this great achievement?
For Apple, I believe that everyone is no stranger, in September 2021, Apple launched the latest mobile phone iPhone 13, only on the day of the launch was robbed by the domestic public. The company also relies on mobile phones released every year to accumulate a lot of fruit powder in the Chinese market.
It is worth noting that just recently, Apple has become the first company in the world with a market value of more than $3 trillion, which has aroused heated discussions among everyone, and even the first of the top 500 domestic listed companies is difficult to compete with.
Specifically, in the list of China's top 500 listed companies in 2021, Tencent became the first in the list with a market capitalization of 358 million yuan, followed by Moutai and Alibaba. Although Tencent's market capitalization is the highest in the domestic list, it is still far from Apple.
In the data of the global top 500, Apple's market value exceeded $3 trillion, about 19.02 trillion yuan. That is to say, compared with Tencent, which has the largest market capitalization in China, its market value is equivalent to 5.4 Tencents. So, what is the reason why the company's market capitalization is so high?
First of all, in the past two years, in the context of the epidemic in the world, everyone's demand for electronic products has gradually increased, making Apples engaged in this field gain good benefits. Although there are many domestic brands in China, in the high-end ranks, only Huawei can compete with Apple.
However, Huawei's current situation is relatively well understood by everyone. This makes Apple get a good profit from it.
The second is that the company occupies a large share in many countries. As we all know, Apple's products occupy a certain market in China, and the data shows that it occupies 18% of the shares in the mainland alone, and in addition to the mainland, the company also occupies 23% and 7.8% of the European and Japanese markets.
The most important thing is that in the Japanese market, Apple has also suppressed domestic mobile phones under it. It is by stabilizing its market in many countries that it has achieved excellent results.
According to the company's financial report, in the Q3 quarter of 2021, the company's revenue reached $81.4 billion and net profit was $21.7 billion, about $139.5 billion; in the fourth quarter, its performance was even more prominent, with revenue reaching $83.36 billion, up 29% compared with 2020.
It can also be seen from this that Apple's speed of making money is relatively amazing, and it is precisely because of its excellent performance that the company has become the most profitable company in the world's top 500 companies. At the same time, this is also the reason why the company's market value is as high as $3 trillion.
It is worth noting that in the case of Apple's market value is so high, the annual salary of its manager Cook is as high as 630 million. What's going on?
As we all know, Cook only took over the company in 2011 and became the actual controller. As early as the beginning of the takeover, many people said that the apple was no longer an apple for another manager, and it had changed its taste. But from today's situation, Apple has developed better under Cook's management.
It can be said that Apple's development so far, on the one hand, the credit is the creation of Jobs, and the creation of this brand; on the other hand, it also relies on Cook's management. You know, it is easy to start a business and difficult to keep a business, whether it is placed on the country or the company, it is the same reason. It is precisely because of this that a $3 trillion apple was harvested, and naturally Cook's annual salary also increased.
Specifically, in 2021, he will receive an annual salary of $98.73 million, or $630 million. His annual salary is mainly divided into four parts, basic salary, performance, equity and others. Arguably, most of the money in it comes from equity, and its salary only accounts for $3 million.
However, it is worth noting that although Apple is now relatively outstanding in terms of market value and profits, with the rise of domestic electronic products, in the future, it is also expected to catch up with the company in terms of products. Just like Xiaomi, which is now known for its cost performance, the brand once ranked second in the world.
