Forty Years of Turmoil: Chinese Enterprises 1978-2018

This set contains "Ten Years of Turmoil, Big Water and Big Fish" and "Thirty Years of Turmoil (Part 1 and 2)", a total of three volumes. Introduction to "Ten Years of Turbulence, Big Water and Big Fish": "For the past ten years, if you use one word to describe it, what is your answer?" When I asked this question to Professor Zhou Qiren of the National School of Development of Peking University, this professor who is good at revealing the profound truth in concise expressions replied: "Big water and big fish!" It is indeed big water and big fish. The rapidly expanding economic scale and ever-escalating consumption power are like a flood of water that is overflowing at will. It is anxiously searching for the boundaries of its territory, while the parts that have been violently impacted are also anxiously bearing the pressure and discomfort of evolution. It is not only reflected in the conflicts between various social classes, the contradictions and compromises between various interest groups, but also in the political and economic relations between China and the United States, Japan, the European Union, and surrounding neighboring countries. In the big water, there must be big fish. In the past ten years, the size of Chinese companies has undergone tremendous changes. In the Fortune 500 list, the number of Chinese companies has increased from 35 to 115, of which four have entered the top ten. Therefore, this decade has been a decade of great prosperity and turmoil for China. For many people, the changes in this decade may be greater than those in the previous thirty years. In this book "Ten Years of Turbulence, Big Waters and Big Fishes", we will follow the author's writing and once again experience these ten years that changed everyone. Introduction to "Thirty Years of Turmoil" (Part 1 and 2): Although any period of history has its irreplaceable uniqueness, China from 1978 to 2008 is the least likely to be repeated. In a large country with a population of 1.3 Billion, the rigid planned economic system is gradually disintegrating. A group of small people have turned China into a huge testing ground. In full view of the public, it is irreversibly transforming into a commercial society. The author of this book did not write this book in the manner of a traditional textbook or history book, but from a folk perspective, using a true and inspiring writing style to describe the growth and development of Chinese enterprises in the market and the world in the era of reform and opening up.
