Nearly 200 businessmen with the “Nguyen” last name are now the presidents of listed companies. The businessmen with “Tran”, “Le”, “Pham”, “Do”, “Vu”, “Bui” take turns heading other enterprises.

They are the leading brains who not only have influences to their businesses’ development, but also to the development of the country and the regional economies.
