<p>I'm fairly sure just like in English it means top 100 of ANY list.</p>

<p>For example, Lanrun is top 100 in the housing industry in China: <a href="http://house.baidu.com/sc/scan/0/5986738501256011448/" rel="nofollow">http://house.baidu.com/sc/scan/0/5986738501256011448/</a></p>

Sure, but isn't going around calling yourself 百强蓝润, as opposed to 房地产前百强蓝润, a little bit ambiguous, let alone misleading?

I mean lots of stores everywhere do this... Like for example, Best Buy implicitly states that they are the best, which is misleading/advertisement at best.

I'm voting to close this question as off-topic because it is too narrow and is not really about Chinese language or culture. I haven't heard any other business affix their name in this way.
