Smithfield
Smithfield Foods is the only company that sells pork-based products. This firm has been in operation since 1936, when Joseph W. Luter and his son founded it. The company rapidly grew until it had over 500 farms in the United States and was a major player in the market. In 2013, WH Group paid $4.72 billion for it. A Chinese corporation had never previously spent this much money in the United States. Despite the fact that the corporation’s headquarters remain in Smithfield, Virginia, executive decisions are made in Luohe, Henan.

Holiday Inn
Holiday Inn originated as a little motel between Memphis and Nashville over 70 years ago. During a difficult road trip with his family, Kemmons Wilson had a brilliant idea. Wallace E. Johnson had already collaborated with him a year after he began the project. The hotel chain was purchased by the Intercontinental Hotels Group in the late 1980s. Even now, new stores are springing up all over the country and the world. It is still owned by IGH, demonstrating that it was a wise investment.
