Is opportunity a platform for self-expression?

With opportunities, there is the possibility of success. If you grasp the opportunities, you will also grasp the password of success.

Li Xiaohua, who was once named one of the 100 richest people in mainland China by the American Forbes magazine, has personal assets of US$250 million. Everyone who knows Li Xiaohua knows that his success is mainly due to timely and accurate seizing the perfect opportunity to obtain a successful full moon. The excellent opportunity and accurate judgment have rewritten his life experience and made him successful. Billionaire dream.

Li Xiaohua’s first pot of gold came from South China in the early 1980s. He took a fancy to a cold drink machine in Guangzhou, so he bought it and shipped it to Beidaihe. He introduced to the locals: "This is the United States. This new invention is the first in China. If you agree, you will provide the venue personnel and apply for the business license, and I will provide the equipment, and we will each get half of the profit." In Beidaihe, where the sun is shining brightly, Li Xiaohua's cold drinks are selling like crazy. One summer, He made more than 100,000 yuan.

When people selling cold drinks followed suit, Li Xiaohua targeted another market: in the early 1980s, due to the times, people who were used to watching model dramas wanted to pursue a "Hong Kong and Taiwan blockbuster" , even forming a queue outside the video hall. Li Xiaohua bought another large-screen projector and played the video. By the end of 1984, Li Xiaohua had become a millionaire.

In 1985, when Li Xiaohua had money, he changed his old habits and gave up the great development opportunities in China. He followed the advice of an elder and traveled east to Japan to learn international business methods.

In Japan, Li Xiaohua was reading and washing dishes. But one day when he was washing the dishes, he discovered a piece of news in the newspaper: "The price of China-produced '101' hair regrowth essence has been rising in Japan." Li Xiaohua immediately rushed back to Beijing's "101" hair regeneration essence factory. The first and second time, he was stopped outside; the third time, he drove a new Mercedes-Benz 280, which was rare in Beijing at the time, and went straight into the factory as an "overseas Chinese" and used a passenger car. For the price of a car, he earned the distribution agency rights for this product in Japan. After returning to Japan, after some careful planning, the "101" hair regeneration serum became very popular in Japan, and Li Xiaohua made a lot of money again.

In 1989, a group of Hong Kong immigrants caused real estate prices in Hong Kong to plummet. Li Xiaohua saw this opportunity again and spent a lot of money to acquire a large number of low-priced buildings. Half a year later, the situation became increasingly clear, and land prices and property prices in Hong Kong soared again. As soon as he sold the building he acquired at a low price, Li Xiaohua became a billionaire.

Another classic stroke of Li Xiaohua’s adventurous career is: investing in a highway being built in a Southeast Asian country. At that time, the road was open to public bidding. Although the government offered very favorable policies, no one took over it due to sparse traffic and difficulty in recovering investment. After careful investigation, he discovered that there is a large oil and gas field not far from the road with considerable reserves. However, the final work has not been completed and the news has not been announced to the public. The prosperity prospects brought about by oil profits will be unpredictable, Li Xiaohua determined this. So he spent all his money and mortgaged his property to get a bank loan to buy the land where the highway was planned to be built. Since the loan period was only half a year, if the land could not be sold and the loan was not repaid by then, he would have to go bankrupt... But in the fifth month, a certain country officially announced the discovery of a large oil and gas field. Li Xiaohua's assets doubled again - he struck gold again!

Li Xiaohua’s career history illustrates a simple and true truth: Opportunity is the stepping stone to a successful life. If you don’t seize the opportunity and follow the trend, success can only be a dream.

If you seize the opportunity, you may succeed. If you miss the opportunity, success will elude you.
