Seize the opportunity to make money

In the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), the first was the uprising of the Boxer Movement, the second was Cixi, Guangxu fled to the West in a hurry, and the last was the occupation of the capital by the Eight Power Allied forces. The capital suffered a serious setback, especially after the shelling and burning of the Eight Allied forces, most of the buildings were damaged, so it is imperative to repair and rebuild.

Many people were insensitive to this, but Gao Yu found a good opportunity to manage it. At that time, the sand washing industry in the capital was ignored, because it took a lot of work and time, and the gains were limited. Gao Yu, who is optimistic about this opportunity, thinks that this is a promising market, because with the stability of the situation, the demand for sand will be increasing. There was such a large potential demand, but there were few large enterprises interested in investment and operation at that time. Therefore, Gao Yu made a decisive decision and sent people to Europe to order modern sand washing machine boats with heavy money. These ships can dig 2000 tons of sediment from the bottom of the sea every 20 minutes and automatically unload it into the cabin. Later, Gao Yu owned more than 20 advanced dredgers, with exclusive business and a hundred times profit.

Gao Yu's success lies in his good use of the business opportunities brought by the opportunity, which also Amoy out a lot of money in the sand.

Notes for making money by taking advantage of the opportunity:

(1) Time should be searched with eyes: "opportunities sometimes come by themselves, but most of them are for us to look for." Mr. Louis, a 32 year old deputy manager of the first construction company, once said so. Opportunity exists in that period of time. It's the same for everyone, but some people can catch it at a glance, while others ignore it. The difference is that one is constantly searching with his eyes, while the other is always unconscious.

(2) Timing is not equal to speculation: some people are speculators, they take others as stepping stones and climb to high positions. They tried to hurt others and benefit themselves. This kind of people who are determined to go their own way and rebel against society can't enjoy their work: their aggressive and desperate behavior is exposing their declining self-respect.

(3) Research on future trends and development: opportunities are always waiting for those who are ahead of others in their work. Read more trade and business magazines and newspapers to understand the new development of the industry. Gao Yu can take advantage of the opportunity to make money, does not lie in his deep understanding of the future development of sand washing industry?
