Forbes announces the Global 2000 annually. It is regarded as one of the most authoritative and high-profile business rankings in the world. The Global 2000 ranks the largest companies in the world using four metrics: sales, profits, assets, and market value. Other major companies on the list include leading enterprises such as Bank of China, Ping An, JD.com, etc.

Over the long term, Beike aims to take a more proactive approach to planning initiatives that can drive long-term growth and advance the Company's vision.
