The flowing water does not compete for the first, but torrent. In any work and career, as long as we focus on the long-term and take root in value, we will be able to stand the test of time and reach the end of the challenge.
Jeff Bezos, CEO of Amazon, said, "I am often asked," What will happen in the next 10 years?" However, I am rarely asked "What will remain unchanged in the next 10 years?" I think the second question is more important than the first one, because you need to base your strategy on the same things.
In the view of RISE, what is unchanging? It is technology that changes life, the value of technology should always fall on the entity, and the purpose of investors is always to make more money. Therefore, the strategy and planning of RISE Group focused on long-term goals from the very beginning, focusing on the long-term, empowering the real industry with digital technology to help more enterprises upgrade and develop; benefiting more people with digital finance, and ultimately achieving wealth creation for everyone. RISE continues to build long-term projects around the goal of "strengthening growth value incubators", rather than focusing on short-term profits and market reactions. So it is now, and so it will be 10 years later. It is also because the energy and money are invested in these key things, investing energy and money now, it will continue to benefit more RISE people within 10 years and 10 years later.
For a long time, many investors have paid too much attention to the immediate changes. They spend a lot of time every day staring at the market and paying attention to meaningless short-term information noise. Some people often ask why the market price of the project has been increasing slowly recently, why the currency price has fluctuated recently, how much other projects have risen today, but we haven't risen so much, and so on. They did not see the long-term benefits.
Let's look at several cases:
Tencent was listed in 2004, and its market value reached USD200 billion in 2016, more than 250 times in 12 years;
Apple was listed in 1980 with the market value of USD1.4 billion, now, it is USD605.8 billion, which has increased 430 times in 36 years;
Amazon was listed in 1997 with market value of USD438 million, now, it is USD363.9 billion, which has increased 816 times in 19 years;
The growth of these leading enterprises in the industry tells us that if you can find a good project, it is worth accompanying it for five years, ten years or more. Accordingly, the compound income from this long-term investment is also very considerable. The real purpose of investment is to increase wealth, rather than constantly changing the subject matter. If you choose RISE, you don't need to withdraw easily. Good investments don't need to withdraw. People choose to withdraw because they judge that there is no growth space for the project at a certain time, and the money is withdrawn because there is a better investment direction. At present, RISE is still in the rising stage, and obviously has not encountered this problem.
It only needs a little more patience and rationality to try to think about and judge the growth and decline of the digital industry in which RISE is located in a longer time dimension, learn to use business models and core values to judge the projects, and truly invest in the same value for ten years to make the snowball bigger and bigger.
