Fortune 500?

For a moment, everyone froze.

With the reform and opening up, Huaxia gradually opened the window to observe the world, and still has some understanding of the famous "Fortune" magazine, and its Fortune 500, that is, the world's top 500 companies, is even more thunderous.

This is especially true for those suppliers.

Fortune magazine, in the face of the gradual prosperity of the world's economic growth after World War II, decided to issue its first and the world's first list of Fortune 500 companies in the tenth year after World War II, but at that time it was limited to American companies and could only be called the Fortune 500 in the United States.

Unexpectedly, after the launch of this ranking, the effect was unexpectedly good, and the sales of Fortune magazine soared.

Therefore, in the third year, that is, in 1957, Fortune magazine launched the list of the top 500 companies in the world, in addition to American enterprises, which completely established the special status enjoyed by Fortune magazine's top 500 list in the field of world economy.

The list is often used as a benchmark to compare the performance of companies, industries or countries over the years.

And in the world, the only ranking that can compete with the Fortune 500 list is Forbes magazine's list of the world's richest people.

For Huaxia, after all these years of publicity, everyone basically knows what the world's top 500 companies are, and there is a question in their hearts, when will Huaxia have its own second Fortune 500 company?

This is the Chinese people's desire for wealth and their own desire for strength.

After all, anyone with a little economic foundation knows that the number of the world's top 500 companies and the ranking can show the state of a country's economic development.

An economic power must have a huge enterprise to match.

A significant feature of modern social and economic development is the leading effect, and a huge leading enterprise will effectively drive the development of a large number of small and medium-sized enterprises.

Just like the current Qingtian, it can be said that there are almost tens of thousands of large, medium and small enterprises that eat around Qingtian, and the number of employees is nearly one million.

Of course, nearly half of them are mainly supplied to trading companies.

Four years ago, Huaxia enterprises were included in the evaluation of the world's top 500 companies for the first time, and the listed company was Bank of China, and Bank of China is also the only Chinese company on the list of the world's top 500 companies so far.

So far, there is only one Fortune 500 company, which is really a shameful thing.

Of course, most Chinese companies did not think about impacting the world's top 500, after all, the world's top 500 companies are too far away from their lives, and even a little too far from China.

And even if it appears, it should be like the Bank of China, and the central enterprises with the prefix of the Chinese word are right, and they have nothing to do with these private entrepreneurs.

But now, Fang Chen actually said that Qingtian was not far from the world's top 500.

Everyone suddenly had a dreamlike feeling, and even a little bit wondered if Fang Chen had drunk too much, otherwise how could he talk such drunken words.

But soon there were good deeds, calculated in their hearts, not that they didn't know, and they were suddenly stunned.

Didn't Mr. Fang say just now, Qingtian's revenue last year was more than 23 billion yuan, which is almost equivalent to 4.3 billion US dollars according to the exchange rate.

And last year's list of the world's top 500 companies, the last place seems to be about $7 billion, and it is a Brazilian company.

In this way, there is still a gap of about 2.7 billion yuan from the threshold of the world's top 500, and it needs to increase revenue by as much as 60% this year to reach it, and if you count the increase in the threshold of the world's top 500, it means that Qingtian needs to grow by 70%.

For ordinary companies, especially large enterprises that have become bigger and stronger, it is almost impossible to grow by 60% or even 70% in a year's time.

But is it a thing for DynaSky to grow by 60%, 70% in a year's time?

Not at all!

Looking at the growth rate of the scale of DynaSky in recent years, if it does not double or triple every year, it is not DynaSky.

Of course, now that the size of the sky is so large, it is really difficult to ask for it to continue to double or triple again, but it should not be difficult to double or something.

Moreover, whether it is from the repeater, or the Thunder pager, or even from the VCD, Qingtian has a strong growth momentum this year.

In other words, this year, Qingtian can almost definitely become a member of the world's top 500.

Thinking of this, many people were stunned for a moment, and this result was like a plague spreading, quickly dispersed in all directions, and a riot appeared in the crowd.

Almost everyone was dumbfounded, looking at Fang Chen in disbelief, the fact that Qingtian was about to become one of the world's top 500 companies this year was really a little difficult for them to digest.

After all, in their minds, Huaxia enterprises are still quite far from the world's top 500, and they can't compete with them.

Although they are also a strong party in Huaxia, they are a few entrepreneurs in China, but the enterprises under their name, the best development, can rank in the top 20 or so of domestic private enterprises, that is, this year's revenue barely exceeds 500 million, such as the United States of the United States and the like.

And the reason why Midea's revenue increased by 50% last year still has a lot to do with Fang Chen.

Since giving Fang Chenmei's 10% stake in the company at the price of cabbage, Midea has finally rushed out of Lingnan and truly went to the whole country.

Even if some local snakes wanted to fight the idea of Midea, as soon as they heard that Fang Chen was a shareholder of Midea, they couldn't help but stop fighting.

After all, Fang Chen's thunderous means of retiring Xiaobawang's agents were still being sung in their circles, echoing for a long time, and no one wanted to provoke Fang Chen.

Of course, it doesn't mean that they are definitely afraid of Fang Chen, but obviously there are soft persimmons pinched over there, so why pinch Fang Chen's steel ball?

If you're not careful, it's easy to break your own claws.

But in any case, they are still a huge distance from the threshold of the world's top 500 companies with an annual revenue of nearly 40 billion, and they never dared to think about it.

After all, they have a company, and they have 80 companies, what does this make them think.

It didn't take long for the commotion to subside involuntarily, and almost, everyone was flushed, looking at Fang Chen with great excitement, their eyes flashing with admiration.

It is the glory of all Chinese people to become one of the world's top 500 companies, not to mention the reason why Qingtian can become one of the top 500 companies, as well as their participation, their hard work, and their blood and sweat, so how can they not be extraordinarily excited.

In addition, the world's top 500 companies are not just the second Fortune 500 company in China, don't forget that Qingtian is also the first private enterprise in China to be shortlisted in the world's top 500.

For Huaxia, which still insists on public ownership as the mainstay, supplemented by private ownership, the effect is almost the same as that of a big Ivan.

Qingtian, one of the world's top 500 companies, has strongly announced that China's private enterprises can also carry the banner of China's economic development.

For the majority of private enterprises in China, it is not only a strengthening, but also has some practical significance.

Perhaps when the upper echelons consider the economic development of China, they will also take private enterprises into account more, and have more support for private enterprises, so that the shackles around the necks of private enterprises can be loosened.

Let private enterprises get rid of the current tragic situation of grandmother not hurting, uncle not loving, and being scolded at every turn to dig the corner of socialism.

They really don't expect to be able to get policy support and financial allocations from governments at all levels, just like the state-owned enterprises, the eldest sons of the republic, let alone the local leaders themselves to guarantee loans, all they want is less discriminatory policies, and when they borrow from banks, it will be easier to borrow.

Of course, the most realistic significance of Qingtian becoming one of the world's top 500 companies is to prove that Chinese people can engage in economic development, and economic development can not rely on the so-called monopoly position.

At this time, everyone no longer dared to imagine how much impact Fang Chen's words and the fact that Qingtian would become one of the world's top 500 companies this year would have on the Chinese people.

The corners of Fang Chen's mouth were slightly upturned, and he glanced at the audience with pride, and then announced the end of the annual meeting with great ease, and everyone will see you next year.

It can even be said that before everyone could react, Fang Chen's figure disappeared from the stage.

Now that all the braggadocio has been blown and the rhetoric has been released, the next thing to consider is how to make it happen.

If you wait until this year passes, if you find out that Qingtian has not become one of the world's top 500, then he will be beaten in the face, and even if he says something unpleasant, the people of the whole country will come to slap him in the face.

At the thought that the people of the whole country would have to slap him in the face next year, Fang Chen suddenly felt a chill.

"Mr. Fang, why do you say everything. ”

Duan Yongping, who followed closely, endured it for a long time, but in the end he couldn't hold back and complained.

A few days ago, when he and Fang Chen were together, they found that even if they didn't follow the current development speed, even if they were discounted, Qingtian was only one step away from the world's top 500.

But the problem is that although it is only one step away, if this step is not crossed, and the egg is pulled, then Qingtian and Fang Chen will become a laughing stock and be condemned by the people of the whole country.

It can be said that tomorrow's newspapers, magazines, TV media, and the people of the whole country will hold Fang Chen high, and once Qingtian does not do it, then Qingtian and Fang Chen will fall so badly.

As for himself, he didn't think about it, although he was the president and second-in-command of Qingtian, and nominally already owned 1% of Qingtian's dry shares, but how many people could know which green onion he Duan Yongping was.

And he knew very well that the development of Qingtian was definitely not just a blow as outsiders imagined.

If that's the case, it's really insulting to him, and the overtime he's been working in the past few years.

However, the most important thing is that the development momentum of China this year is probably not bad, but the biggest engine of Qingtian, the three major companies in Russia, may not be.

Now the Russian economy is inflationary, not to mention the large-scale depreciation of the ruble, and most importantly, the shock therapy of the past year has already tossed the old bottom that Russia inherited from the Soviets.

On the streets, there are more and more hungry Russians who are running for a living, and even take out Soviet medals to set up stalls to sell, and Soviet heroes who just want to have bread to eat are all over the streets and alleys of Moscow.

Auto alliances and trading companies will certainly not be able to maintain the growth rate of almost double as last year, and even whether they can maintain a growth rate of 60% is a big hurdle.

And the situation of Huaxia Bank, from now on, is even worse, not to mention growth, he can maintain no recession, he is thankful.

Therefore, as soon as Fang Chen's bull was blown out, how could he not feel Alexander.

But you know, Fang Chen paused, and said nonchalantly: "I think it's good to talk about it, and it can be regarded as giving everyone a motivation." ”

He was actually a little hesitant, after all, no one wanted to be slapped in the face by the people of the whole country.

But the reason why he finally felt that it was better to say it was because he wanted to put some pressure on the employees of Qingtian, especially the middle and high-level cadres.

Now that DynaSky is so big, it can be said that it is the absolute leading enterprise in China and Russia, not to mention that it can surpass DynaSky, and there is no company that can compete with DynaSky.

Although everyone didn't show much of it, he had obviously seen some pride and complacency, and felt that the emotions of the eldest in the sky, the second in the earth, and at most the third Fang Chen and Duan Yongping's fourth were raised.

This is obviously extremely bad and not conducive to the future development of DynaSky.

Besides, the current scale of Qingtian is where it is, and the scale of enterprises in the world that exceeds Qingtian is not 1,000, but 800.

The reason why Qingtian can see all the mountains in China and Russia can only show that China and Russia are economically weak, and they are extremely incommensurate with the status of China and Russia as world powers and the five hooligans.

There are no tigers in the mountains, and the monkey is called the king.

Last year, the top 500 ranked first was the Mitsubishi Group of Dongwa, with a revenue of more than 160 billion US dollars, and Qingtian's revenue last year was only equivalent to about 2.4% of the Mitsubishi Group, which is really small and pitiful.

After listening to Fang Chen's explanation, Duan Yongping shook his head a little helplessly, although he could understand Fang Chen's thoughts now, he also thought that the reason why Fang Chen said this was also necessary.

But shouldn't a business, especially a large enterprise like Qingtian, which already has a pivotal position in China and Russia, speak more carefully?

Firing cannons at every turn in this way really seems too frivolous.

As if to see through Duan Yongping's thoughts at a glance, Fang Chen patted Duan Yongping's shoulder, blinked his eyes and said: "Old Duan, you must know, I'm still young, I don't have anything to say big, no one will really care about me, after all, when young people make mistakes, even God will forgive, let alone say two big words." ”
