As a window to observe the development and change of global large enterprises, the Fortune Global 500 list has its rationality, which began in the 50s of the last century after several adjustments, and finally formed a comprehensive list in 1995 including large American enterprises and non-American large enterprises, behind the change in the number of companies on the list of countries is also the change of national strength, between the elimination of the other, the number of companies on the list in China has become the first, which is also the performance of the gradual growth and development of Chinese enterprises.
In the early 90s of the last century, the spring breeze of reform and opening up is hot, Chinese entrepreneurs at the same time as the city in the country opened their eyes to the world, found that there is a sky outside the sky, foreign enterprises can do so big, many companies are interested in expanding the scale of enterprises to quickly occupy the market from which the idea of entering the world's top 500 enterprises emerged, especially at that time Japan and South Korea's comprehensive enterprises stood alone in the world, domestic enterprises also took this as the object of learning and benchmarking, and the national authorities even drew up a pre-selection list as a list of enterprises to support, including Haier, Changhong, etc. However, the financial turmoil that swept Asia in 1997 and 1998 caused heavy losses to Japanese and Korean companies, such as the smash hit South Korea's Daewoo Group, Japan's Sanyo**, etc., idols are gone, and the domestic fanaticism for the world's top 500 companies has temporarily calmed down.
After joining the WTO, with the integration of China and the world, the economic engine started rapidly, sprint to the world's top 500 re-boom, many enterprises plan to enter the list in 2008 2010, although the number of enterprises on the list has increased year by year, but still to the central enterprises and a small number of state-owned enterprises, although the global financial crisis in 2008 has slowed down this process to a certain extent, but the investment of four trillion bailout funds, so that these enterprises have regained their strength, after 2012, regardless of the private enterprises on the list, The number of state-owned enterprises has increased year by year, and there have been some chaos in the process, such as HNA, CEFC, Anbang, Bogang, etc. Fortunately, the problems of these enterprises were also dealt with relatively properly in the end, reducing the impact on the national economy.
The subject said that foreign companies rarely mention the false name of the world's top 500, largely because foreign large enterprises have passed the development stage that needs to be added to the list, and the strength can explain everything. In addition, they prefer to use the world's top 500 companies to promote themselves, and most of them are leveraged enterprises or traditional enterprises, and the Internet field is not deliberately emphasized.
