Oluwasaeon: the reason why that is possible is because samsung is not focused on mobile phone production only. According to this article, they are also involved in the manufacture of textile, ships, vehicles... to mention a few. They even own a contrsuction company that built the worlds tallest building. Currently they have up to 80 subsidiaries in various industries |
