Chapter 1547: Fortune 500
After returning from Dongyuan, Li Dong didn't mention retirement, of course, he didn't say anything else.
However, Shen Qian still noticed a little change. In the past few nights, Li Dong stayed in the study for a long time, and he didn't know what he was doing alone.
Li Dong's study, Shen Qian seldom goes in.
Whether there is a secret or not, at home, it is one of the few private domains of Li Dong.
Although Li Dong never told Shen Qian not to enter the study, but Shen Qian would not enter the study on purpose except to go in sometimes to tidy up.
Shen Qian didn't care what Li Dong was doing in the study.
When Shen Qian said those words before, she also hoped that Li Dong would not change himself for some foreign things.
As for Li Dong's own decision, that is his decision, not other people's interference.
...
Just as Li Dong was preparing for the wedding, he began to plan for his next step.
The Internet, which had been quiet for a few days, became a little turbulent again.
May 28th.
"Fortune" magazine released the list of the world's top 500 companies in 2009.
This time, "Fortune" also chose to update the Chinese and English versions on the Internet at the same time.
In the past, these authoritative media released the English version first, and then released the Chinese version.
But now, Huaxia's economic strength is increasing day by day, and its influence is getting bigger and bigger. Huaxia's influence in the world is also expanding. If you don't pay attention to the Huaxia market at this time, it means that the other party has no vision.
"Forbes" has chosen to cooperate with Huaxia, and there is a trend of expanding cooperation with some entrepreneurs in Huaxia.
As their opponent, if "Fortune" does not make any changes, it will really be surpassed by this old opponent.
The Top 500 list released by "Fortune" is still very authoritative, just like the "Forbes" rich list. If "Fortune" had not surpassed "Forbes" in this aspect, it would not have allowed both parties to become powerful. Quite an opponent.
The world's top 500 companies have always been synonymous with giant companies.
Even this list only looks at revenue, not profit, or everything else, including market value.
Even if they operate at a loss and have high revenue, they can still be included in the list.
But even if it is criticized, it still does not prevent this list from being valued.
Even giant companies actually pay attention to it.
If they don't pay attention to it, they won't publicize it to the outside world. They are a Fortune 500 company. How did they get this ranking?
Naturally, it is based on the "Fortune" list, and based on its own revenue.
Revenue, in fact, accounts for a very large proportion of business operations, including the actual influence of the company.
At this time, it is not yet the time for Internet companies to show their power, so some people may think it is unfair to Internet companies, these companies with low revenue and high market value, but the mainstream of society is like this, and it is not yet the time for Internet companies to be the masters.
...
In the past few years, including 2008, Yuanfang has never entered the world's top 500 companies.
This list is based on the revenue of the previous year.
The revenue in 2007 was not too much in the distance, so naturally it couldn't make the list.
Even in 2008, many people felt that Yuanfang was already stronger than some of the world's top 500 companies, but if they hadn't entered it, they hadn't entered it.
Many people didn't know about this before, until this time, when the list was released in 2009, many people were surprised and said: "Li Dong is the richest man in the world, and Yuanfang is also the largest private group in China, and it is not the world's top five hundred. powerful?"
As soon as this remark came out, some people sighed: "What do you mean by being the number one in China's private sector? Before that, it was always Lenovo.
It was only after 2008 that Brother Pao completely caught up and surpassed these groups.
This time the statistics are based on the revenue of 2008, which of course was not included before. "
There was a lot of discussion among the people, and at the same time, many people also began to check the list.
I thought that Yuanfang is so strong, or in other words, in everyone's impression, Yuanfang is very strong, what's the matter, this time the ranking should not be too low.
Isn't it a shame that the richest man's company ranks low.
But when they saw Yuanfang's ranking, many people were even more surprised than Yuanfang did not enter the top 500 before.
"Yuanfang Holding Group, with a revenue of 30.5 billion US dollars, ranked 280th!"
280!
As soon as this ranking came out, someone immediately questioned: "No way, it's so low!
Don't be mistaken by foreigners' statistics, 30.5 billion US dollars, it seems to be 200 billion in revenue.
Didn’t Brother Pao say that Yuanfang’s revenue would break trillions? "
"It should be about the same. You probably didn't know that Yuanfang announced its revenue last year. The trillion yuan was announced by Brother Pao this year.
The annual revenue announced by Yuanfang is 225 billion yuan, but Yuanfang must have overestimated part of it.
30.5 billion U.S. dollars, should be about the same, Wanjia's revenue is not far away. "
"That's right, haven't you looked at Ali? Taobao said that its revenue is more than 100 billion, plus other business, and it's also very high. Look, I can't find Ali's name after searching.
The revenue of these third-party platforms is not counted as the revenue of their own company. "
"But 280 is still too low. Brother Pao is the richest man. How embarrassing."
"What do you know? 280 is still low?"
Some people couldn't see it, and argued: "In the few years since its establishment, it has entered the world's top 500, and it has directly entered the 280th place for the first time. If this is still called low, then what is called high?
Did you not read the list?
In the whole of China, how many companies rank higher than Yuanfang Group? "
As the man spoke, he made a special ranking list.
This year, Huaxia's enterprises entered the top ten for the first time.
Petrochemical ranks 9th in the overall list with a revenue of 207.8 billion US dollars.
Petroleum ranks 13th with a revenue of US$181.1 billion.
Next, State Grid, with 164.1 billion US dollars, ranked 15th.
Industrial and Commercial Bank of China, 70.5 billion US dollars, ranked 92.
Mobile, $65 billion, ranked 99.
Formosa Hon Hai Group, the parent company of Foxconn, ranked 109th with US$61.8 billion.
China Construction Bank, 58 billion US dollars, ranked 125.
Life Insurance, with $54.5 billion, ranks 133.
Bank of China, with US$51.3 billion, ranked 145th.
Agricultural Bank of China, 48 billion US dollars, ranked 155.
Sinochem Group, with 44.4 billion US dollars, ranked 170th.
China Southern Power Grid, 41 billion US dollars, ranked 185.
Baosteel Group, 35.5 billion US dollars, ranking 220.
China Railway Group Co., Ltd., with 33.7 billion US dollars, ranked 242.
Huaxia Railway Construction, 32.5 billion US dollars, ranking 252.
Telecommunications, with US$31.8 billion, ranked 263.
Next, there is Yuanfang Group, with a revenue of 30.5 billion US dollars, ranking 280th!
If it is not listed, I am afraid that everyone will think that 280 is too low, and it seems to be no big deal.
But how terrifying the real situation is!
There are a total of 16 Huaxia Group companies whose revenue exceeds that of distant places, of which 15 are state-owned enterprises, all of which are considered monopoly industries.
Another company, Hon Hai, is actually generally not included in the China rankings, and companies in Taiwan are generally not included in the rankings in Mainland China.
This means that all the enterprises beyond the distance are large state-owned enterprises and central enterprises, and state-owned enterprises are also central enterprises. How many are there in Huaxia?
In the end, there were only 15 companies beyond the distance.
In other words, while Yuanfang became the world's top 500, it also entered the forefront of a group of giant companies from a relatively low position among Chinese companies.
And this list is still last year's ranking.
This year, Yuanfang continues to expand, and various revenues are soaring. Maybe by the end of the year, ICBC will lose to Yuanfang. In 10 years, Yuanfang is likely to enter the top three ranks in China and enter the top 20 in the world!
This is an astonishing statistic. Even if it is just revenue, it means that Yuanfang's influence is not much worse than those of the top international giants.
And just like this, there are still people who dislike Yuanfang's low ranking?
For a while, naturally many people refuted.
And looking at the list of the world's top 500 companies, Yuanfang is the number one private enterprise in China. If only the mainland is counted, Shagang, which ranks second, has a revenue of 21 billion US dollars and has dropped to 445th place.
After that, it's gone!
Including Lenovo, which entered the world's top 500 last year and ranked 499th, this time it also fell down the ranks of the top 500.
Shagang, in fact, cannot be regarded as a purely private enterprise, including Lenovo.
But even so, among the world's top 500 rankings, there are only two private groups from the mainland.
In 2008, there were even fewer companies. Only Lenovo made it into the top 500, ranking 499th.
In 2009, Yuanfang advanced by leaps and bounds, and entered the top 300 directly, which shows how strong its strength is and how fast it exploded.
The number one private enterprise also deserves its name at this moment.
What's more, this year's 280, will it be the same next year?
When netizens figured out the real situation, many people were actually very surprised.
Some people even asked in surprise, "Aren't there any Internet companies in China that have entered the top 500?"
"Didn't Baidu hear that the stock price has soared, and now it is almost breaking through the market value of 30 billion U.S. dollars?"
"Alibaba's Taobao said that it has more revenue than Yuanfang, and 500 people didn't enter?"
"..."
Some people didn't bother to answer these people's questions, and they knew it was Xiaobai at a glance.
Anyway, there are many people on the Internet, and finally someone gave an answer: "Don't say anything, just look at Teng Xun, the previous market value was 20 billion US dollars, and the revenue was 7 billion yuan, which is about 1 billion US dollars.
Do you know how much revenue this time the last of the world's top 500 companies earned?
$18.5 billion!
Teng Xun didn't even get a fraction of that!
And Teng Xun, among the three BAT companies, is actually the one with the most revenue.
The data released by Ali last year was 3 billion yuan in revenue, and Baidu’s was 3.1 billion yuan, which was less than 1 billion US dollars, even Teng Xun.
That's it, I still want to be the top 500 in the world, let's go to sleep. "
The release of this kind of data once again surprised some people who did not understand the market.
so low!
The combined revenue of the three BAT companies in 2008 was only more than 10 billion RMB, less than 2 billion US dollars?
But in 2008, the combined market value of the three companies exceeded the US$60 billion mark!
At this moment, some netizens who don't know much about Internet companies finally have a clear understanding.
No wonder Internet companies generally only talk about market capitalization, but rarely talk about data such as revenue.
Speaking of this data, people who don't know how to do it will probably drop their jaws in shock.
The market value exceeds 30 times the revenue, which is also an Internet company.
If the industry is like this, then the horror is boundless.
Yuanfang's revenue of more than 30 billion US dollars is 30 times the market value. Isn't it worth trillions of dollars now?
Of course, if the profit ratio is really required, Internet companies have a great advantage. The profit rate is very high, and it is normal to be as high as 30% or more.
In terms of industry, few companies can reach 10%, and generally hover around 5%, even for some profit-making industries.
...
There is a lot of discussion on the Internet, and people from afar are also happy.
Into the top 500!
It is unbelievable that Yuanfang, which has only been established for a few years, has entered the ranks of the world's top 500 so quickly.
Once upon a time, employees and executives from far away met people from Fortune 500 companies and talked about what is so great about Fortune 500 companies.
But since the comparison with the top 500 was made, it was obvious that he still cared.
Although Yuanfang is strong, it is mainly due to Li Dong's personal strength, and Li Dong's personal reputation has created the current Yuanfang.
But now that Yuanfang has entered the ranks of the world's top 500, it no longer depends on Li Dong's personal fame.
Because of the list, including entering the top 500 is also a big deal.
Even though Li Dong said that Yuanfang should not look for him if he does not go bankrupt, on this day, Yuan Chengdao brought several senior executives to the provincial party committee compound to announce the good news in person.
Entering the world's top 500, and it was a few days before Li Dong's wedding, which is a joy on top of joy.
In addition, Li Dong's wedding is approaching, Yuan Chengdao and the others, as distant executives, can't really ignore it, even if they put on a show, they have to ask and help.
When Yuan Chengdao and the others came, Li Dong was on the phone in the yard.
Seeing them arriving, Li Dong nodded slightly, and then continued to make phone calls.
And Shen Qian came out to receive a few people together with the nanny, seeing that Li Dong was still answering the phone, Shen Qian smiled and said: "Is it for the matter of the top 500?
Someone started to call to announce the good news early in the morning, and now the call is not answered. "
After saying something, Shen Qian continued in a low voice: "Let's talk about this later, you know him, don't care if he is in the top 500, but 280, he is not too satisfied.
Don't mention it if you can, lest you scold yourself. "
As soon as these words came out, Yuan Chengdao's faces froze!
It seems to be true, they almost forgot about this, their thinking is different from Li Dong's.
If you really want to sing praises later, you may be scolded.
But it's all here, so I can't help but mention this, right?
Thinking of this, Yuan Chengdao looked at Liu Hongmei, then at Liu Qi and the others, and finally showed a little helplessness on his face.
Why helpless?
Because all the female generals came this time, except him!
The male directors from far away are all busy this time, or they are on business trips, and there are only a few women in Pingchuan.
Later Li Dong really wanted to find fault, Yuan Chengdao can guarantee that Li Dong will definitely only find trouble for himself.
Yuan Chengdao didn't even think about whether to laugh or cry in his heart. One day, after entering the top 500, he would start to worry about the low ranking.
The premise is that this is the first time that Yuanfang has entered the top 500 ranks, not that it has entered before, and now it has fallen down.
