The story of Zhou Yu's fire attack in Battle of Red Cliffs is a good example. The "chain strategy" has worked. Cao Cao tied all the boats together; The "insurance plan" has convinced Cao Cao that only when the yellow cover comes down, the probability of fire attack is because of the east wind. But it was the middle of winter, and the northwest wind was blowing on the river every day. When Zhou Yu realized that one of the most critical external conditions in the coup was missing, he immediately rushed to his heart and turned his back. Later, it was said that Zhuge Liang borrowed the east wind and finally succeeded in the fire attack plan. But if Zhou Yu just waits for the east wind to blow before preparing the "chain plan" and "risk plan", I'm afraid the opportunity will never come back.
Yang Shoucheng, known as the "king of clocks and watches", is a typical example of taking the initiative to open the situation and achieve great success.
Yang Shoucheng has been interested in doing business since he was a child. He often studies ways to make money.
Yang Shoucheng is a firm and pragmatic person. With his father's guarantee, he borrowed 0.2 million/200 thousand from the bank and opened a branch of Omega Watch opposite the Observatory's watch line. What a grand gesture!
His peers in the watch industry cast envious eyes on him. Because he has a wide range of customers and is well-run, his reputation is growing with the increase of wealth.
1969, he easily obtained the distribution right of Zituo (now called Tudor) watches from Rolex branch.
Due to the good monthly sales volume, 1970 has successfully obtained the distribution right of the industrial soil, thus establishing Yang Shoucheng's position in the watch industry.
1In February, 973, Yang Shoucheng invested and listed the watches, jewels and some properties of the Emperor in the name of Good World, and Yang Shoucheng, aged 3/kloc-0, was the chairman and general manager.
With the support of public funds, Yang Shoucheng is even more powerful, actively entering the real estate industry and further expanding its watch and jewelry business.
1976 and 1977, Yang Shoucheng entered the securities industry and bought a lot of real estate. It's really necessary to wind and rain. At that time, he owned 25 sites and millions of feet of land on Lantau Island, preparing to build a large resort. Just when his career was in full swing, he didn't expect a catastrophe. In the case of technician Anthony accused of beating Wei Jianbang, he was sentenced to prison for obstructing justice.
This is also his fate. When he was released from prison, he was caught in a real estate crisis, and the real estate price plummeted, resulting in his debt reaching 320 million yuan. It never rains but it pours. After the double blow of politics and economy, Yang Shoucheng went bankrupt, the property he bought through hardships changed his surname, the assets he accumulated were also lost, and his industry was taken over by HSBC.
Fortunately, although Yang Shoucheng suffered such a severe blow, his spirit did not collapse.
HSBC admired his talent and hired him with a monthly salary of 20,000 yuan, allowing him to continue to operate the King Watch, and the profits were used to pay off debts.
1984, Yang persuaded HSBC to borrow another100000 yuan to open a "gem city" to attract tourists by retailing and manufacturing jewelry. Yang Shoucheng returned to his old job, and once again went to docks, travel agencies and other places, and established a network to attract tourists. With Yang Shoucheng's eloquence and perseverance, it can be said that nothing in the world is impossible.
In a short period of one year, "Gem City" has occupied a leading position in the jewelry retail market of Japanese tourists. It took only three years for Yang Shoucheng to pay off the debt and buy back the control of the assets.
After Yang returned to his career, he bought a lot of stocks and real estate, and succeeded in stock trading many times. 1989 bought the underground warehouse of Jinmen building, and made a profit of 70 million in half a year.
Since then, his career has taken off again. Now, he has re-entered the ranks of the super rich.
In fact, one practical action is more important than a dozen plans. Success is achieved through actions rather than dreams. When we are ready to generate, the next key is to start acting.
