INTRODUCTORY

In 2006, the founder of Chinese e-commerce company JD.com, Richard Liu, was looking for an investment of $2 million. To do this, he turned to the Chinese investment company Capital Today. Instead of $2 million, Capital Today decided to invest $10 million. It turned out to be a smart move—when JD.com went public in 2014, the stake was worth $2.4 billion.

CONCLUSION

Although JD.com and Alibaba are still competitors, the companies are growing and trying to fill different niches. Of course, investors can win more if they invest in an earlier player in the market, but if the market is huge and the circumstances are favorable, then you can bet on those who launched later. Even if they don’t capture the market, they can gain a foothold in a niche.
