Korea created large corporations and made them international players. Creating large enterprises and capturing shares of the international market is a valid and widely used development strategy as they are less vulnerable to international shocks than small companies. Thus they are also more reliable job creators.
The bitching from the São Paulo financial market is understandable because if it was up to it, it would obviously not have to face competition from a fine, large bank that charges interest rates far below market's levels.
. . . . and if you help thousands of small companies grow into big companies then you make them ALL less vulnerable to international shocks.

'Picking The Champion' is all very well if it is a Brasilian champion, but putting Brasil's Peoples' Money into foreign-owned companies - particularly FRENCH companies (OMG, where will it all end?!) seems a perverse policy, don't y' think.
