Chapter 51 Take the opportunity to make money, gold can also be found in the sand
In the 26th year of Guangxu (1900), the Gengzi Incident occurred. First, the Boxer Movement was surging, followed by Cixi Guangxu's hasty flight to the west, and finally the Eight-Power Allied Forces occupied the capital.The capital suffered serious setbacks, especially after the bombardment and fire of the Eight-Power Allied Forces, most of the buildings collapsed and damaged, and repair and reconstruction were imperative.

Many people are insensitive to this, but Gao Yu found a good business opportunity from it. At that time, the sand washing industry in Beijing was neglected, because sand washing was labor-intensive and time-consuming, and the gains were limited.Gao Yu, who is optimistic about this opportunity, believes that this is an attractive market, because as the situation stabilizes, all industries are waiting to be flourished, and all houses are rebuilt, the demand for sand will increase.The potential demand was so large, and there were almost no large companies interested in investing and operating at that time, so Gao Yu made a decisive decision and sent people to Europe to order modern sand washing machine ships with a lot of money.These ships can dredge 20 tons of sediment from the seabed every 2000 minutes and automatically unload it into the cabin.Later, Gao Yu owned more than 20 advanced mud control boats, and his exclusive business was profitable.

Gao Yu's success lies in the fact that he made good use of the business opportunities brought about by the timing and thus made a lot of money in the sand.

The famous American novelist Eliot once said: "The golden moment in the great current of life is fleeting. We see nothing but sand and gravel. Angels come to visit, but we don't weave them in person and miss them." The importance of it, and the regret that you don't know how to use it when the opportunity is ahead.It is worth noting that taking advantage of opportunities to make money often requires boldness and prudence. The following points must be noted:

1. Opportunities should be searched with eyes. "Opportunities sometimes come by themselves, but most of them are for us to find." Mr. Louis, a 32-year-old deputy manager of the American First Construction Company, once said so.Opportunity exists at that time, and it is 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 in a state of unconsciousness.

2. Taking advantage of timing is not the same as speculation.Some people are opportunists who use other people as stepping stones to climb high.They seek to benefit themselves at the expense of others.Such self-willed, socially rebellious people are not going to have fun at work: their aggressive aggressiveness, despite all odds, is betraying their waning self-esteem.

3. Research future trends and developments.Luck and eternity await those who are one step ahead of others in their work.Read more magazines and newspapers about trade and industry and commerce, and understand the new development of the industry. Isn’t the reason why Gao Yu can make money by taking advantage of the opportunity is that he has a deep understanding of the future development of the sand washing industry?
