As a top player in the domestic industry, many people like to compare Tencent and Ali, but who is better still depends on revenue performance.
On March 24th, Tencent released its 2020 financial report. The data shows that Tencent's overall sales performance reached 482 billion yuan last year, of which net profit accounted for one third, close to 654.38+060 billion yuan. It can be said that it has achieved very good results.
The profit of one year160 billion is equivalent to Tencent's daily income of 430 million, which is called the "printing machine" in the Internet field. Even banks that "lie down and earn" every day are no match for Tencent.
Take China Merchants Bank as an example. Although China Merchants Bank's ability to make money is slightly lower than that of the four major banks, compared with other banks, China Merchants Bank is definitely not weak in all aspects.
According to the data, last year, the revenue of China Merchants Bank exceeded 290.4 billion yuan, and its net profit accounted for nearly one-third of the revenue, reaching 97.3 billion yuan, with an average daily net profit of about 260 million yuan. If we want to surpass Tencent's daily income of 430 million, at least 1.6 China Merchants Bank can compete with it.
Looking at China, there are only four major banks whose net profit can reach more than 654.38+060 billion. After all, the annual net profit of the four state-owned banks is as high as more than 200 billion.
If you think that Tencent's annual net profit is only 654.38 billion+060 billion, then you underestimate Tencent. Tencent's net profit of 654.38+060 billion only includes its achievements in social networking, games, finance and other Internet businesses, and does not include the returns Tencent has gained from its investment.
Tencent's investment layout in recent two years is quite grand, with accumulated investment exceeding 1 1,000 enterprises, among which more than 1 1,000 listed companies, such as Bi Li, Pinduoduo, JD.COM and Meituan in Bi Li, are well known. According to incomplete statistics, the listed companies that invested only last year brought Tencent more than 750 billion yuan in revenue.
Tencent has such strong ability to make money. As another industry giant, Ali's ability to make money is naturally outstanding. Ali's annual financial report is from April to the end of March, so up to now, Ali has not released the financial report of 202 1, but we can learn from the financial report of the first three quarters of 202 1.
The financial report shows that in the first three quarters, Ali's revenue reached 529.8 billion yuan. It is estimated that the annual revenue will reach 700 billion yuan and the net profit is expected to reach 200 billion yuan. There is no pressure on revenue and net profit to exceed Tencent.
At present, Ali's major businesses have maintained a high growth trend. Although Pinduoduo has carved up many users in the field of e-commerce, Pinduoduo has been left behind in terms of user scale and revenue, and its layout in Alibaba Cloud, financial technology and other fields will continue to provide fresh blood for Ali's revenue.
In terms of revenue and net profit, Ali completely crushed Tencent and sat firmly in the position of the "big brother" of the domestic Internet. Among many domestic enterprises, except for the four major banks, Ali's profit level can be called "invincible in the world".
Even though Alibaba was fined 65.438+0.82 billion yuan recently, the impact on this year's profit was less than 654.38+00%, and Alibaba still maintained a high growth rate. This year's net profit can still crush Tencent, so it is still the first profit.
However, although Ali's earning power is slightly better, Ali's popularity in the capital market is not as good as Tencent's. As of April 12, Tencent's market value was as high as HK$ 5.89 trillion, while Ali's market value was only HK$ 5.03 trillion, with a difference of HK$ 860 billion.
In addition, Tencent is also superior to Ali in the investment field. Tencent is used to improving the value of investment enterprises through its own drainage, while Ali pays more attention to wholly-owned holding or chooses direct acquisition. The investment models of the two are quite different. As for which enterprise's investment method is better, different people have different opinions.
