Chapter 955 Fortune 500 in 1995

"Editor-in-Chief, this is the first final edition of the Fortune 500 in 1995. Please review it!" In the distant United States Fortune magazine editorial agency, a responsible editor handed over a thick list to the editor-in-chief of the magazine.

Fortune Magazine is one of the world's most famous financial magazines. The most famous of this magazine is the global ranking of the Fortune 500 that they publish every year. For countless companies, being able to be on the list of the Fortune 500 in the world is almost their lifelong dream and goal.

As 1995 passed, it was March 1996. At this time, most listed companies had published their annual reports. It was time for Fortune Magazine to prepare for the 1995 World 500 rankings.

At this moment, the initial version of this list has been completed and the editor-in-chief is handed over to the editor-in-chief for review. Because this list is the most important signboard of Fortune Magazine, and it also affects countless well-known companies around the world. If you get the ranking of a company wrong, it will get the anger of a business giant.

Therefore, the editor-in-chief reviewed it very carefully and read it on a list almost one by one.

"The first place is still the same, it is Fuso Mitsubishi, with annual sales of US$175.835 billion!"

"The second place is Fusang Mitsui Co., Ltd., with annual sales of US$171.49 billion"

The third place is Fuso Itochu Commercial, with sales of US$1678.24 trillion

The fourth place is Sumitomo Fuso...

The fifth place is General Motors Corporation of America

The 6th place is Fusang Marubeni Company

No. 7 is the United States Ford Motor Company

Exxon Company No. 8

The ninth place is Iwai Company

Tenth place is Royal Dutch Shell Group

The eleventh is Toyota Motor Company

The twelfth place is Walmart Store Company with a total revenue of US$83.412 billion.

...

No. 207 is China Merchants Bank, with total revenue of US$15.288 billion.

The editor-in-chief just scanned the name of China Merchants Bank and didn't care at all.

209th place, Huaxia Chemical Group, with total revenue of US$14.981 billion

409th place, Pacific Telecom Group, with total revenue of US$9.494 billion

No. 432, Pangang Co., Ltd., with a total revenue of US$9.064 billion.

No. 456, PetroChina, with a total revenue of US$8.511 billion.

No. 489, Wanwan Electric Power Company, with a total revenue of US$8.035 billion.

I believe everyone can see that in addition to the top 12, the six companies listed later are all Chinese companies that have ranked among the Fortune 500 in the world. These are also the six strongest companies in China in 1995.

Once upon a time, it was one of the thoughts of all Chinese people to have more companies and companies in the Fortune 500. However, in 2019, after 129 companies in China entered the Fortune 500, Chinese people did not look down on the Fortune 500.

However, a careful analysis of the list of the Fortune 500 in 1995 will reveal a very terrifying fact, that is, Fusang companies actually won the first to fourth places, and among the top 10, 6 companies are Fusang companies. In the entire list, the number of Fusang companies is even more terrifying than that of China in 2019, reaching 212 companies, accounting for almost half of the list of the Fortune 500.

I believe this is beyond everyone's expectations. In everyone's expectations, the United States must have the most companies in the Fortune 500 in the world, and the second one is Fusang, but in fact, Fusang occupied half of the list.

At the peak of Fusang, Fusang's economic output once approached the United States. Some far-right Fusang people even shouted the slogan of avenging their economic shame, trying to get back the humiliation and failure in World War II that year.

This is also something that makes Fusang extremely proud. Every year after the list of the Fortune 500 in the world appears, the news media of Fusang people will have a collective climax, showing how powerful the economic strength of Fusang people is.

"Hey, these fake numbers!!" The editor-in-chief of Fortune Magazine sighed and shook her head.

When others saw so many names of Fusang companies, they thought Fusang was already the best in the world, but the editor-in-chief knew very well that this list was just an illusion.

It’s not that the numbers on this list are fake. Although it is impossible to be completely real in the numbers on the list, after all, there are still many companies that are not listed and have released financial reports on the list, so these data can only be estimated based on multiple data.

But this is definitely the result of the entire Fortune Magazine working hard for a year to collect various data and calculations. From the data point of view, the editor-in-chief can run away with his chest and achieve the ultimate they can do. They do not falsely report numbers against their conscience.

But this does not mean that this list represents the real Fortune 500 in the world. The simplest truth is that you can't see **** and names like Rothschild on this list.

Fuso businesses like to join forces. They like to combine their strengths together. Then many companies raise funds and cross-hold shares, and then merge into a huge brand new enterprise.

This is why so many companies in Fusang are among the top 500 companies. Many companies on the list are merged from several companies.

But American companies are different. American consortiums like to hide themselves and not expose them. These consortiums like to split their own companies or diversify their funds to invest. In short, they like to break them down into pieces.

Although the names of some consortiums do not appear on the Fortune 500 list at all, half of the companies on this list are actually firmly controlled by the shares of these consortiums.

Including those awesome Fuso companies, even Mitsubishi Group, which is ranked first, has more than 60% of its shares in the hands of the Americans. The American bigwigs are behind the scenes, and they are still disdainful to show up and make it on the list of the Fortune 500 in the world. It is so hateful.

After all, everyone in the United States has guns. If anyone thinks differently one day, just shoot them with one shot, no matter how much billions of wealth you have, it will be a matter of reimbursement of a bullet.

In short, this ranking cannot truly show the world's economic territory, but at least in terms of the strength of each company, this list is real.

"Let me see who is the lucky one this year!" The editor-in-chief turned his attention to the last name, which is the 500th place.

The editors of Fortune Magazine like to call the 500th company Lucky because they are so lucky that they just made it to the top 500 list and became a company that has attracted worldwide attention. What a lucky thing.

Just like a loser, although Sun Shan is the last one, everyone in China knows his name and he will not lose.

"Daqian Group, a Chinese company!" Seeing this name, the editor-in-chief's eyebrows hopped, and then said to the editor-in-chief in front of him, "You're the last one?"
