Description
Book SynopsisChina's economic rise and influence has been one of the most significant developments in the global economy of recent times. A driving force behind this expansion has been the private entrepreneurs and companies of China, some of which have literally redefined the economic and business landscape, both inside and outside of China.
Born in a small fishing village in 1967 to a poor family, Guo Guangchang's break came when the Chinese government began to encourage business enterprise. He and four university friends set up their own company in 1992 to advise foreign companies that were entering into China. Fosun International eventually became the largest private enterprise in China by expanding into insurance, pharmaceuticals, property, mining, retail and finance. Today, Guo is the Chairman of Fosun International and this book provides a unique, inside examination of Guo and his company's remarkable global expansion.
