By examining the income statement, you will find that the company&#8217;s revenue and net profit have been steadily increasing over the past 10 years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>An article in the Financial Analyst Magazine confirms that the fastest growing companies typically come to a sudden halt due to rapid growth. In the long run, a 10% pre tax (or 6-7% post tax) profit growth is sustainable.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>However, the 15% rapid growth that many companies have set for themselves is just an illusion. Higher growth rates (or sudden rapid growth within 1-2 years) will inevitably slow down, just like an inexperienced marathon runner trying to complete the entire race in a 100 meter sprint.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Insight, slow is fast. Enterprises need to live long, not grow fast. We want to live for 500 years, not become a Fortune 500 company.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"750\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/www.wudejiansteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u806a\u660e\u7684\u6295\u8d44\u8005.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-204\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.wudejiansteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u806a\u660e\u7684\u6295\u8d44\u8005.jpg 750w, https:\/\/www.wudejiansteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u806a\u660e\u7684\u6295\u8d44\u8005-300x300.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.wudejiansteel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/\u806a\u660e\u7684\u6295\u8d44\u8005-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 750px) 100vw, 750px\" \/><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The normal growth rate for a listed company is 10% pre tax or 6-7% post tax profit.
