Good at finding business opportunities in adversity

Lord, send tribulations, test my faith in the Lord; Lord, send pains, distinguish me from ordinary people, Lord, give me adversity,

--"Talmud"

When each of us is born into this world, we are doomed to bear and experience all kinds of difficulties and tortures. When faced with adversity, some people choose to give up, and then they can only fall into poverty from now on.Those who are not afraid of difficulties and pay attention can find business opportunities from crises, so as to get rid of adversity and gain wealth.At this point, Jewish businessmen should do the best. They can always do business calmly when danger comes, and even regard adversity as the best time to do business.

During the 2000 years of wandering life, the Jews have been in adversity.During these long days, they learned patience and waiting, learned to behave in a low-key manner, and learned the wisdom of how to survive and develop in adversity.Applying this wisdom to business operations has formed the business experience of Jewish businessmen getting rich in adversity.

Jewish industrialist Ludwig Mond discovered a method of extracting sulfur from spent caustic soda at the University of Heidelberg when he was a student.Later, he moved to the UK and brought this method to the UK. After several twists and turns, he found a company willing to cooperate with him in the development.It turns out that his patent has economic value.From this, Mond came up with the idea of ​​starting his own chemical company.

He then bought a method of converting salt into sodium bicarbonate by the action of ammonia, which he had co-invented and which was not quite developed at the time.Mond bought a piece of land in Wennington, Cheshire, and built a factory.Meanwhile, he continued experimenting to perfect the method.After the experiment failed, Mond simply lived in the laboratory and worked around the clock.After repeated and complicated experiments, he finally solved the technical problem.

In 1874, the factory building was built. At first, the production situation was not ideal, and the cost remained high. The company suffered a complete loss for several consecutive years.

The tenacity of the Jews in adversity helped Mond. He was not discouraged, and finally made a major breakthrough in 6, six years after the establishment of the factory. The output increased by three times, and the cost also fell. GBP, becomes a profit of 1880 GBP.

Later, the enterprise established by Mond became the world's largest chemical enterprise producing alkali.

It can be seen that if there is no character of perseverance and silent struggle in the face of adversity, Mond would not have achieved the extraordinary achievements that followed.

No rich man in the world is smooth sailing without failure and setbacks.This is the so-called no business without "difficulty", as Napoleon Hill, the American success guru, said: "Before the god of luck bestows on you the crown of success, he will often test you severely to see your endurance and courage. Is it enough?" The most important reason why outstanding people can succeed is that they can persevere in adversity and have the belief of winning.There are always many people in life who complain that they are incompetent, and thus negative and mediocre, but in fact everyone has the potential to succeed.As long as you choose a path that suits you, stick to it, and be proactive, you will be able to succeed.

Bill Gates said in an interview with the "Financial Times", one of the eight major financial media in the world: "I have experienced depression and timidity. Microsoft encountered more difficulties and obstacles during each take-off process. From technical difficulties, the siege of competitors to the government’s accusations, if I hadn’t finally overcome decadence and cowardice with courage and perseverance, I’m afraid I would have been overwhelmed by the tide of market competition.” In adversity, an entrepreneur’s survival instinct and sense of crisis Essential to business growth, entrepreneurs thrive on adversity.
