What Xia Yu is reading is the "Economic Weekly" magazine under Jiuding Newspaper Group, and it is still an incomplete edition that has not been released.

This was urgently sent by Yan Wenhan from Xiangjiang to him by air, and the main purpose was to let him review the two lists inside.

"Economic Global Rich List" and "World Top 500 Enterprises" two lists!

Relying on Jiuding News Agency's strong global editorial network, these two lists are truly global lists, not pseudo-global lists like Forbes and Fortune magazines.

Yan Wenhan once reported the situation to Xia Yu, in the "Rich List", it was their "Economic Weekly" that set a precedent, and then a year later, "Forbes" began to follow up and launched the American Rich List, and now it has only expanded to North America.

The list of "Top 500 Enterprises" was not pioneered by "Economic Weekly", and the American "Fortune" magazine came up in 1955, but only American companies were on the list at that time.

It wasn't until 1976 that Fortune magazine published its first list of the Fortune 500, but it also excluded the United States, that is, only companies outside the United States.

So nowadays, there is no real "Fortune 500 World Enterprises" list.

Unless Fortune magazine perfectly integrates their U.S. domestic rankings with international rankings, that's the quickest way to do it!

But no integration is no integration!

Therefore, there is no real global rich list and corporate ranking in the world.

This means that once the two lists are released by Economic Weekly, there is a great possibility that they will be popular all over the world.

Of course, under the popularity, there will also be endless doubts, which is inevitable.

Therefore, Yan Wenhan sent this unborn magazine to Xia Yu first, mainly for two purposes.

The first purpose is to hope that Xia Yu can review it, especially about Xia Yu's own ranking on the list, as well as the ranking of Jiuding enterprises, whether to adjust it.

The second purpose is the most important, that is, I hope that Xia Yu can authorize him, so that he can mobilize the resources of the Jiuding Consortium around the world to promote, and try his best to make the "Economic Weekly" a shocking hit!

There is no way, the strength of Jiuding Newspaper Group is mainly concentrated in Asia and North America, and Yan Wenhan has also acquired some newspapers in South America and Oceania in recent years, so the coverage is also there.

All the print media companies of the Jiuding Consortium in the United States are directly controlled by the American branch of Jiuding Newspaper Group, but CNN is under Polaris Capital, and CNN and Jiuding Newspaper Group are only cooperative and do not have cross-shareholdings.

In Europe, the strength of Jiuding Newspaper Group is even weaker.

With the exception of Times Press Holdings Ltd in the UK, there are not many newspapers in other European countries.

The Jiuding Consortium's most important media forces in Europe are in companies such as the Mirror Group and the Financial Times Group, which are owned by the Bright Fund.

Although Yan Wenhan knew George Berkeley, he couldn't let George Berkeley fully assist him, after all, although both of them were directly managed by Xia Yu, the Bright Fund was independent of Europe, and George Berkeley's freedom and rights, as well as the resources he controlled, were above him.

Therefore, the best way can only be dispatched by Chairman Xia Yu.

......

The Fortune Global 500 companies are only commonly known as the conventional term, and the normative term is "the world's 500 largest companies", with an emphasis on "big".

The reason is that Fortune magazine generally selects the operating income of enterprises in each fiscal year as the basis for ranking, and the scale is the most important, so the Fortune Global 500 actually refers to the world's 500 largest enterprises.

Now Xia Yu's "Economic Weekly" is the world's top 500 companies, which are consistent with the selection criteria of Forbes in later generations, and the selection is no longer one-sided and limited to large turnover.

Rather, it is the world's largest and most powerful listed companies based on the four major indicators of revenue, profit, assets and market capitalization, and the list uses a comprehensive score.

In later generations, Fortune, Forbes, Financial Times and BusinessWeek are all doing global corporate rankings, and the selection criteria of the four are different, and the latter two focus on market capitalization.

However, Xia Yu still recognizes Forbes the most, which is due to the fact that if a company wants to be a century-old store, it is indeed necessary to be strong in all aspects, not just the strength of the market value and turnover for a while.

It is the most unreliable to simply rank according to market capitalization, because market capitalization changes in real time, and its limitations determine that it is difficult to truly reflect the situation of global enterprises, and financial institutions themselves can keep an eye on the stock market in real time......

"Economic Weekly" "Top 500 World Enterprises" list, Xia Yu carefully read it and expressed his approval, his own company is selected according to the standard of seeking truth from facts, after all, as long as the "Top 500 World Enterprises" caused a sensation, the ranking above is the company's best business card.

When talking about business, as soon as this name comes out, it can definitely make people subconsciously convinced, which has been tested by later generations.

Moreover, the world's top 500 enterprises do not need to disclose the controller, and he will not be exposed as the behind-the-scenes controller of the companies on the list of Jiuding Consortium.

On the contrary, the "Economic Global Rich List" is different, and it will cause a lot of trouble after going up.

The "Economic Global Rich List" does not have a fixed number of people every year like the "Forbes Rich List" of later generations, but it is clear from the beginning that it is 500 people.

Interestingly, the top five and the top four are all from the Middle East, namely the Saudi royal family of Saudi Arabia for $117 billion, the Al Nahyan family of the United Arab Emirates for $61 billion, the Kuwaiti royal family Sabah family for $42 billion, and the Qatari royal family Al Thani family for $38.2 billion.

These four royal families, except for the Kuwaiti royal family, who like to be low-key, are likely to have opinions at that time, the other three royal families do not know what low-key is, and they love to be in the limelight.

In particular, the Saudi family has more than 100 billion US dollars in assets on the list for the first time, which can definitely attract everyone's attention and detonate the popularity of "Economic Weekly".

As for the helmsmen of those real big conglomerates, such as the Rockefeller family, the Rothschild family, the Morgan family, the Mellon family and the Mitsubishi family, etc., this is not shown on this list, this is a clear requirement of Xia Yu and Yan Wenhan, these families are not like the nouveau riche in the Middle East, if all of them are exposed by Xia Yu, then Xia Yu will become a thorn in everyone's side!

The "Economic Global Rich List" can be used as a deterrent to expose a certain family at a special time, but there is no need for this now! It would be even more stupid to expose them all!

However, on the list, Xia Yu saw himself, he was worth 800 million US dollars, ranking 188th in the world!

Xia Yu looked at the list several times and found that because of the collapse of the Xiangjiang stock market, his worth of $800 million still ranked first in Xiangjiang, slightly higher than the $750 million of Bao Yugang in second place.

The reason why it is so low is also because with the continuous expansion of the strength of the various companies of the Jiuding Consortium, Xia Yu has successively hidden the equity, although he still has the name of the chairman of each company, but the shareholding ratio is pitiful.

Bao Yugang's worth has also been deliberately hidden a lot, and Xia Yu does not plan to pit Lao Bao.

This value, the tycoons of Hong Kong, Macao and Southeast Asia must not believe it, but for the middle and lower class people, it is enough to be able to fool the vast majority!

The "Global Rich List of Economies" mainly attracts the people who eat melons, while the "Top 500 World Enterprises" attracts the elites, both of which are enough to cover the user group!

After confirming that it was correct, Xia Yu walked into the back compartment and dialed the number of Yan Wenhan's office through his satellite phone.

For the sake of secrecy, he installed secret satellite telephones in various companies around the world, just to prevent various global intelligence organizations, especially the KGB and the old hooligan of the United States.

"Toot ......"

"Hey, Wen Han, it's me, I've read the list, let's just arrange it like this...... What is the weekly circulation of Wirtshitchoentha now?"

“......”

"Two million four hundred and thirty thousand...... This time, the first batch of 10 million copies will be printed worldwide, 4 million copies will be printed in the American market, 3 million copies will be placed in the European market, 500,000 copies each in South America and Oceania, and the remaining 2 million copies will be in Asia......

"You can count the global sales at any time, if you can't sell it, you will give it away for free in the last two days, but I will let all media companies fully cooperate, it is estimated that there is a group of media resources in the world to promote together, and the sales volume should create an amazing number, you have to allocate the group's printing resources in the world, print and replenish in time, there must be no mistakes, let Gavin Peter arrange the Guinness World Records certification team to certify, create a world record for secondary publicity......"

"Smack!"

After talking to Yan Wenhan on the phone for more than ten minutes, Xia Yu hung up the phone, the corners of his mouth raised slightly, and a wave of anticipation rose in his heart.

His "Economic Weekly" is different from Forbes, which generated more than 4 million weekly circulation when it first published the domestic rich list.

And his media territory is all over the world, and the publicity resources that can be mobilized far exceed those of Forbes, so he has nine layers of certainty that this time the weekly sales of "Economic Weekly" will be the best in the world, as for whether it can reach 10 million copies, or even more than 10 million copies, wait and see!

"Will it be released globally on February 1...... There are still ten days to go, and it's almost ......"

PS: Don't think the sales are outrageous, there were still a lot of magazines in the United States with a monthly circulation of 20 or 30 million in those days, which will be mentioned later.
