One opportunity can change a man's destiny. As a man, you must have the ability to seize opportunities at any time, especially in the early stages of your career. This ability determines a man's development. Zhang Chaoyang of Sohu and Zhang Ruimin, CEO of Haier, are entrepreneurs who are good at seizing and utilizing opportunities. At the same time, they have also achieved remarkable results in different fields. Opportunities do not come by waiting. Only men who know the current affairs can better seize the opportunities and achieve great things.

Liu Yonghao carefully prepared for every upcoming opportunity, so when others were dismounting, he succeeded. As he said: "Opportunities are for those who are prepared."

In 1992, Liu Yonghao consciously put forward a slogan: "Look up and look at the road."

Liu Yonghao is kind Being aware of current affairs has three meanings: one is to keep learning, the other is to grasp the general direction, and the third is to understand the market trend.

In addition, in the economic world, especially in the domestic business world, the determination of a policy often opens up a new development space, and it is necessary to always "look up and look at the road." This is a summary of Liu Yonghao’s understanding of current affairs.

As for the timing of the budget, Liu Yonghao said: "We seized the opportunity of China's economic system to transform from planned to market, took a few steps early, and won a competitive advantage. If there was no reform and opening up of the government, we would have There is no "New Hope" business today. This is what I say from the bottom of my heart. Some business people rely on courage and hard work, and a small number of them rely on their intelligence to seize the opportunities under the dual-track system. With the development of society, now. The possibility of relying solely on courage and courage, or even taking advantage of the policy opportunities under the dual-track system, is becoming increasingly rare. This is a historical necessity. Doing business should be down-to-earth, and the tradition of hard work must not be lost. On the other hand, we must follow the trend of the times. , to explore, find new development opportunities, continue to innovate, and arm yourself with modern science and technology, such as mastering the latest biotechnology and technology, and keeping up with the development trend of the times. Only then will the development of the enterprise have more stamina. Only if it does not fall behind will it be more powerful. Development prospects.

“Obviously we are aware of this problem. Now I have relatively little control over the feed industry, but I can’t just play golf when I have time, because society has entered the high-tech era. After joining the WTO, new opportunities need to be grasped and new experiences need to be explored. In recent years, what we have done a lot is to invest in development opportunities in the financial field. First, we became a major shareholder of Minsheng Bank. Seizing this opportunity, the listing of Minsheng Bank brought us benefits and returns. We believe that investing in Minsheng Bank is correct and the payoff is great. We are also one of the major shareholders of Minsheng Insurance. In addition, we will strengthen research in finance. To this end, we have set up a team in Beijing to study the development trends of the financial industry, to study the better combination of industrial capital and financial capital after the integration of the world economy, and to study the relationship between industrial capital and financial capital in a relatively monopolized industry. In the field, we should seize new opportunities in the process of gradual opening up, seek rapid development, grasp the combination of industrial capital and financial capital, resist possible risks, and grasp how China's national financial capital integrates with international trends in the process of gradual opening up of the financial industry. Organic combination, existing development opportunities and potential. I think if we are well prepared in our research, we will be able to meet new challenges and not fall behind. In recent years, we have increased research and investment in this area, and we have also increased our capital operations. The New Hope Agricultural listed company established after more than two years of hard work has achieved good results. We have also actively participated in some listed companies. Make finance and investment into industrial investment sectors. I think this is a positive attitude and an industry innovation. As a traditional feed company, how can we make investment and development in the financial field? This is a new opportunity. "

Faced with China's "entry into the WTO," Liu Yonghao regarded it as an opportunity for his career. For this, he had been preparing and planning for many years. He said: "We started working for the WTO five years ago. We have made preparations. At that time, we thought that our preparations were too late and we thought we would join soon. However, we waited for five years. During these five years, we studied the changes and opportunities China would bring before and after China’s entry into the WTO. How to do this? I think it is very important to meet such challenges and seize such opportunities.

“We have established a strategic research center for this purpose. In the past five years, we have studied many issues. First of all, we studied our main industry, the agricultural industry. We believe that after China joins the WTO, the planting industry will It will be affected to a certain extent because China has less land per capita and high costs. On the other hand, our breeding industry will have great development, because the breeding industry relies on labor-intensive industries, and after joining the WTO, the prices of raw materials and grains will increase. will fall, which will be beneficial to the breeding industry. In addition, the export of our breeding industry has always been subject to certain restrictions. After joining the WTO, the restrictions on the breeding industry will be weakened, which means that the possibility of our exports will increase. In other words, our livestock industry The industry has developed greatly, which is very beneficial to our feed industry and meat processing industry. This is the result of our research, so we have continued to increase investment in the feed industry and food industry in the past five years. , including the continuous installation of several production lines for our ham sausage in Chengdu, becoming the largest meat processing base in Southwest China.

We believe that after joining the WTO, there will be a good market for housing. We started investing in real estate five years ago. We have now invested in Shanghai, Dalian, Chengdu, and other cities. This year, our development volume exceeded It has 600,000 square meters, and next year there may be millions of square meters. This is also the result of our research.

“We actively participate in foreign trade. The import and export trade is about 100 million U.S. dollars or a little more every year. We have become the first private enterprise with import and export rights, and we have cooperated with the Chicago futures market in the United States and the world’s major trading companies. In the trade activities established by grain merchants, we have laid the foundation and prepared for the liberalization of grain import and export after joining the WTO. These large foreign grain merchants, including the United States, are also very willing to cooperate with us. In short, in the international arena. In terms of chemicalization, we have stepped up our pace. We have now built five factories overseas and introduced overseas funds; using funds from the International Finance Corporation of the World Bank, we have jointly established some chemical plants in the west. I think we have. The research is fruitful, and opportunities are for those who are prepared. We have been preparing for five years.”

This is a truth. Many men complain that opportunity never knocks on the door, but little do they know that the opportunity has come and they have been waiting for a long time, but they are dreaming of getting rich in the box.

Liu Yonghao, who is good at calculations, came out actively. Not only did he stand at the door waiting for opportunities, he also took the initiative to look for opportunities. Is it okay to plant fruit trees, is it okay to sell vegetables... In the end, he decided to raise quails. His opportunity came, and he became a big climate.
