There was a businessman who was the first to follow his father's footsteps in the jewelry business, but he lacked his father's insight into the jewelry industry. A few years later, he lost his father and went to the biggest jewelry store in the city.
He believes that he is not lacking in business skills, but that the jewelry industry is heavily invested, too technical and too risky. He decided to switch to clothing business. He believes that the clothing industry has a short cycle and does not need much professional knowledge, so it will be successful. So he sold his only property and opened a clothing store. Three years later, his clothing store had no money to buy new clothes, and the existing clothes were ignored because their prices were higher than those of neighboring businesses. He failed. He realized that he was not suitable for the clothing market that was changing too fast. When he thought that a new style had just begun to be popular, he immediately organized funds to purchase goods, and this style of his peers had already been eliminated. He always goes with the flow.
He sold his clothing store and opened a restaurant with what little money he had left. He thought that this simple business would never lose money again. Hire a few people to cook, and the guests will get money when they eat. There is not much liquidity. However, he was wrong again. He opened his eyes and looked at the restaurant next to him, but it was empty. Finally, even the hired people went to other restaurants, leaving him alone. Later, he tried to do cosmetics business, watch business, printing and dyeing business, and all failed without exception.
At this time, he was 52 years old. Since his father gave him the jewelry store, 25 precious years have been occupied by failure. Gray temples convinced him that he had no business talent.
He calculated his family property, and all the money was only enough to buy a cemetery far from the city.
He was completely desperate. Since I don't have the ability to create wealth, I will buy myself a cemetery and have a home when I die.
This is an extremely desolate land, 5 kilometers away from the city. Rich people, even some poor people, don't buy such cemeteries.
However, a miracle happened. On15th day after he finished the property right formalities of this cemetery, the city announced a plan to build a highway around the city. His cemetery is in the ring road, near a crossroads. The land on both sides of the road doubled in value overnight, and his cemetery rose many times. He never dreamed that he had made a fortune from this cemetery.
It suddenly dawned on him. Why doesn't he do real estate business? Do as you say. He sold the cemetery and bought some land that he thought had potential for appreciation. After only five years, he became the biggest real estate agent in this city.
The inspiration given by this businessman is profound. A small chance can change a person's fate. Many times, opportunities are waiting in front of life. The key is patience and discovery.
We often encounter such things. A person has been waiting for a goal for many years. Later, he really couldn't hold on and didn't wait any longer. As a result, as soon as he left, the target appeared.
Many people have tried hard for half their lives and failed, so they give up automatically. In fact, this time, success is only one step away from him.
