Joseph Tsai, the second most important man behind the success of $BABA shared that all $BABA's products have a 10 year time frame and follow the below strategic plan.
In year 1-3 👉 $BABA focuses on creating a product that people like, and $BABA do not focus on revenue at all
In Year 3-5 👉 start to develop a revenue model, and think about how can we earn a revenue of the product.
In year 5-7 👉 $BABA tries to find a path to profitability about the product now.
In year 7-10 👉 $BABA tries to harvest all the fruits that was previously planted, and really start to make profit of the product.
In year 10 👉 $BABA tries to reinvent the product, and tries to innovate the product over again, because you must innovate to be relevant.
This is how $BABA approaches their product. Every product is a long term project, which always started off with a goal to become a product that people like without thinking about revenue or profitability.Value creation is the key above all things.

Have you ever wonder why Jack Ma, founder of $BABA picked Daniel Zhang, a person who did not co-founded $BABA, was not trained by $BABA, to become Jack Ma's successor and act as $BABA's CEO and chairman? Here is a thread on Daniel's amazing story with $BABA
Let's get started👇👇
Daniel graduated from Shanghai University of Finance and Economics and first started working at Arthur Andersen and PWC. Later Daniel joined SNDA, the biggest gaming company in China and became their CFO.
In 2007, Daniel was recruited to $BABA given his financial expertise and success with SNDA. When Jack asked Daniel why did you want to join $BABA, Daniel without hesitation said, I already did a 3 billion USD company, now I want to do a 30 billion one.
For $NIO investors out there, please definitely be AWARE that a lot of people have been saying NEO park will produce 1 million cars for $NIO, and that is simply UNTRUE.
NEO park is an effort by the Chinese government with suppliers and companies (including $NIO) to build a high tech park for EV production, with an ultimate goal of reaching 1 million cars production per year.
$NIO's production will be included within that 1 million cars, but not all 1 million cars are $NIO cars. There are other Chinese EVs' production as well.
Peter Lynch is one of the greatest investors of all time. During his 13 years of running the Magellan Fund, his annualised return was 29.2%, more than 2x the S&P 500's return. This thread go through Peter Lynch's key lessons for all investors.
Let's get started!👇👇
1. Know what you own
The single most important thing in investing is know what you own. Peter famously said that you should be able to explain your stock holding in 2 minutes or less to a 10 year old kid. If you don't know what you own, don't buy it.
When people don't know about the stock, and the stock goes down, people don't know what to do about it (Peter famously said that these investors may flip a coin to decide whether they should sell). Don't be that guy who flips the coin.
Have you ever felt that you are not 'productive'? In 'the productivity project', Chris shares his productivity lessons after spending a year to achieve maximum productivity. Here is a thread on productivity.
Let's get started! 👇👇
1. Find your why
Why do you want to be productive? Why do you want to achieve the things in your mind? If you don't know the underlying 'why' you want to be productive, it is very hard to stay productive after your initial motivation fades. Find you why!
2. Priority
Not everything is of the same importance, you should figure out what is important and what is not, at the start of the day or work, so that you can have a great understanding of what truly important things you want to achieve for the day and not waste time on others!

Let’s get started 👇👇
1. Level 5 Leadership
All good to great companies have level 5 leaders. Level 5 leaders are humble, caring, unself-centered and passionate. Level 5 leaders are also persistent, with a strong will power, and an ambition to build a great company (and not a great self!).
A level 5 leader praises others during upturns and reflect on themselves during downturns (not blaming others!)
