68 billion yuan, 58 billion yuan, 53 billion yuan, these are the net worth of three Chinese billionaire women, and they have a common backer: Apple. Although Steve Jobs, who led the smartphone revolution, has already passed away, his "legacy" still benefits entrepreneurs in the Apple industry chain, including three Chinese women-Zhou Qunfei, Wang Laichun and Zeng Fangqin.
Zhou Qunfei, 50 years old, has nearly tripled his wealth last year, reaching 66 billion yuan. As the leader in the mobile phone protective glass panel industry, Lens Technology is one of Apple's most important suppliers and is known as the "invisible champion" in the foundry field. Last year, the company achieved revenue of 30.315 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 9.37%; net profit was 2.605 billion yuan, a year-on-year increase of 308.96%, and core product sales revenues achieved year-on-year growth.
Behind the rapid growth, benefited from continuous investment. Lens Technology invests 6% of its revenue into research and development each year, and has invested more than 7.6 billion yuan in the past five years, which is at the leading level in the industry. The company's products are widely used in mobile phones, smart wearables, notebook computers, smart cars, etc. Apple, Samsung, Huawei, Xiaomi, etc. are its customers. It has also become a core supplier of Tesla, supplying central control screen glass shells.
53-year-old Wang Laichun entered the top ten for the first time with a fortune of 58 billion yuan, ranking fourth. She founded Luxshare Precision, the largest connector manufacturer in China, responsible for the assembly and production of Apple AirPods. The booming wireless stereo market in the past year has driven the company's market value to rise steadily, and it currently exceeds 200 billion yuan.
In 2004, Wang Laichun founded Luxshare Precision in Shenzhen. Terry Gou, the old boss, has not forgotten his capable staff. In the first few years, Foxconn has been the company's largest customer, contributing more than half of its revenue. However, Wang Laichun was not satisfied with this. Instead, through a series of mergers and acquisitions measures, he transformed into Apple's industrial chain and became a supplier of MacBook computer cables. Since then, around Apple, it has access to platforms such as Type-C fast charging, headphones, and acoustics, and cooperates with Huawei, Sony and other companies.
In the past ten years, the company's annual operating income has grown from 1 billion yuan to 62.38 billion yuan, an amazing rate of rise. Thanks to the popularity of AirPods, last year's performance increased by 79.20% year-on-year, far exceeding expectations. In addition, the company also cut into the Apple Watch production line and deployed multiple components such as wireless charging, acoustics, linear motors, etc. through internal and external methods.
55-year-old Zeng Fangqin ranked sixth with a fortune of 53 billion yuan and also entered the top ten for the first time. As a leader in precision functional devices for consumer electronics products, Lianyizhi Manufacturing is expected to achieve revenue of 23.815 billion yuan and a net profit of 1.912 billion yuan last year. The company's main business includes precision parts, precision structural parts, liquid crystal display modules, etc., and has cooperation with Huami OV, Apple, Google, Amazon and other manufacturers.
Lingyizhi has R&D centers in Dongguan, Shenzhen, Suzhou, Dongtai and the United States, which can quickly adapt to the technological industry development trend of electronic products such as "high speed, micro, integration". Since the main production is precision functional devices, they are widely used in consumer electronics, automotive industrial control, smart wear, smart home and other fields. Foxconn and Bourne Optics are also the company's core customers.
The arrival of the 5G era will promote the development of smart phones and smart wearable markets, and will also bring huge business opportunities to component manufacturers. We will wait and see how the three companies will perform in the future, including Lens Technology, Luxshare Precision, and Lingyi Manufacturing.
