Previously, Da Qian had been stuck in the top 50 to 20 of the world's top 500 because of this. It was very difficult for him to improve. At that time, Da Qian had almost monopolized the gaming industry and occupied more than half of the global entertainment market. He also had his own territory in the mobile phone market at that time. He was also the leader of the electronics industry.
But the unit prices of these companies were too low, and it was too difficult for Daqian to overtake these automobile and energy companies.
But then again, if you compare the profits of the Da Qian Empire with those of the automobile and energy industries, these industries would not even have the face to feel ashamed.
Other than Daimler, the rest of the automobile companies were incurring losses. It was the same for the oil companies. Although they were not incurring losses, they were struggling to make losses.
This was the reason why these companies wanted to start a war with YLK. They needed the price of oil to rise. They needed the price of crude oil to rise. More importantly, they needed the price of gasoline to rise.
This was also why many people wanted to stop ranking the top 500 companies based on their profits. Many people felt that it was a joke to let these companies, which had lost too much money, be ranked in the top 500 companies.
The top 500 companies should be ranked based on their profits. This was the only way to show the value of the companies.
But all the major financial magazines ignored these voices.
If they wanted to maintain their reputation, they would release a list of the world's top 500 profitable companies to flaunt their fairness. However, the list of the world's top 500 companies was always ranked according to their revenue.
The reason was very simple. If these oil companies and automobile companies could not even maintain the halo of the top 500 companies in the world, then their reputation and stock prices would plummet. They had stood at the top for too long, and they were reluctant to fall.
Speaking of which, it was indeed difficult for the Great Qian Empire to move on the Top 500 list because of these reasons. However, the situation changed greatly after the year 2000.
First, Daqian's gaming industry had improved tremendously. After Daqian defeated Microsoft, Sony, and Nintendo, no one in the gaming industry could compete with Daqian games!
Unless Tencent Games appeared … But the problem was, in this world, Tencent and QQ belonged to Daqian. They were not allowed to enter the gaming industry. Tencent's QQ channel was also restricted to Daqian. Boss Jia did not want to raise a tiger.
That's why the gaming industry was dominated by Daqian. Especially after the introduction of the steam game store, Daqian monopolized the gaming industry. All the gaming companies had to pay a tax to Daqian if they wanted to sell their games. That's why Daqian's gaming revenue kept increasing.
If the game was not a PC game, but a console or handheld game, the Daqian had to pay another tax.
In 2005, the revenue of Da Qian Games had reached 77.8 billion US dollars, almost reaching 80 billion US dollars. About 20 billion US dollars came from the games developed by Da Qian Games, and the other 57.8 billion US dollars came from the poll tax collected from other game companies.
The gaming industry's revenue in 2004 was 157.4 billion USD. Daqian had swallowed half of the gaming industry's revenue. You can imagine how much control Daqian has over the gaming industry.
However, games were currently the least important of the four major industries of the Great Qian Empire.
Further up is Daqian Telecom. Daqian Telecom's main product is Daqian mobile phones. The Daqian mobile phone company's annual revenue is more than 50 billion USD. Other than that, Daqian Telecom is also involved in many other telecommunications products. But they do not sell products directly. Instead, they sell various industrial products and license patents.
In the end, Daqian Telecom's total revenue reached 82.5 billion USD, which was slightly more than Daqian Games.
Then what are the other two industries that are ranked above mobile phones and gaming?
They are the core industries that recently led Daqian to break through the World's 500 Strongholds: Daqian Electronics and Daqian Automobiles.
Let's talk about Daqian Electronics first. With the Daqian company's explosion in the field of photolithography machines, the world's high-end photolithography machine industry had been completely monopolized by Daqian Electronics.
Daqian Electronics was now selling 50-nanometer photolithography machines in batches. If an order was placed on the same day, it was guaranteed to arrive within three months.
And one of the photolithography machines was sold for as high as 120 million USD. In the end, this guy sold a total of 420 units in just over three years, generating a revenue of about 50 billion USD.
Some people might think there was something wrong with this figure. Because in 2005, there were only about 500 photolithography machines sold in the entire year. How could 420 units of the top-tier photolithography machine be sold in one go? This did not make sense!
In fact, this was scientific. First of all, the photolithography machines were not sold in a year, but in three years.
Second, this was because the 50-nanometer photolithography machine was no longer the top-tier photolithography machine. The top-tier photolithography machine was launched by Daqian at the end of 2004. In the same year, the top-tier CPU based on the 30-nanometer photolithography machine was put on sale. The chips used in Daqian's personal terminals all came from these 30-nanometer photolithography machines.
This was because only photolithography machines with such precision could produce extremely small chips that could be used in mobile phones.
But it was also because of this that the top-tier CPU was dominated by the 30-nanometer photolithography machines. As such, the 50-nanometer CPU became the mid- to high-end CPU.
Originally, if Intel still played the traditional game of squeezing toothpaste out of the market, even the 70-nanometer photolithography chips could be sold as the world's top-tier processor.
However, Daqian never squeezed toothpaste out of the market. The 50-nanometer photolithography chips were already being sold by Daqian at a price of 199 USD per unit. This was the standard selling price for the mid- to high-end chips.
If Intel dared to sell the 70-nanometer photolithography chips at 199 USD per unit, players would dare to completely throw Intel into the smelly ditch.
In fact, the processor industry was an industry with very little brand value. All customers only looked at the data. As long as the data was good and the performance was good, you could sell it at a high price. Otherwise, you would have to crawl.
Therefore, Intel could only resign themselves to selling the mid- to high-end 50nm photolithography chips. However, the sales of these chips were huge. Without 200 to 300 photolithography machines, it was impossible to meet the demand.
In addition, there was also the demand for chips from the graphics card industry and other industries all over the world. This directly caused the 50nm photolithography machine to become the mid- to high-end photolithography machine. The global enterprises could only place a large number of orders to Daqian to buy a large number of 50nm photolithography machines.
Otherwise, once they were left behind, they would not be able to climb back up.
This was the reason why Daqian's 50nm photolithography machine was selling so well. It could be said that Daqian used the 30-nanometer photolithography machine to pressure the market.
It was conceivable that in a few years, Daqian would be able to release the 18-nanometer photolithography machine.
