One day, a real estate friend invited him to a dinner hosted by a local real estate club.
"The speaker that day was a respected industry veteran. He talked about a series of development problems for 20 years. He predicted that the downtown area of this city will continue to prosper and gradually develop to the surrounding farmland. At the same time, he predicted that the demand for exquisite farms would increase rapidly. This type of farm is not big, with an area of 3-6 mu, but it has a swimming pool, a garden and space that can accommodate other small and medium-sized people. "
This gentleman's words suddenly awakened Hawke's dream for many years, which is exactly what he wanted. After the dinner, Hawke began to carefully collect relevant information about urban planning and the distribution of idle areas around the city, and also found some familiar friends and insiders to discuss the feasibility of this plan. Many people agree that the city will continue to expand, so Hawke began to study how to make money according to this idea.
One day when he was resting after work, he suddenly remembered why he didn't buy big and sell small to make the difference. The retail price is definitely much higher than the price of the whole land, so Hawke bought a piece of farmland with a value of nearly10.5 million US dollars in a place 50 kilometers away from the city center, and then planted a lot of Chinese fir in the field. He wants customers to know that this land will be full of beautiful fir trees in a few years.
Next, Hawke hired a surveyor to divide 60 mu of land into 12 blocks. Then he started selling. He collected a list of several real estate agents in this city and wrote a sales letter, saying that he could buy such a piece of land for only $5,000, which is equivalent to the price of a small apartment, and pointed out that this area has great development prospects in entertainment and health industries.
Although Hawke only promoted sales after work and on weekends, in less than five weeks, 12 land was all sold. The total income was $60,000, and the total expenditure was only $65,438+0.10.3 million. Hawke made $48,700 at once.
Without this information and Hawke's careful observation, it is impossible to find such business opportunities.
Since ancient times, information gap has always been a constant way to acquire wealth. It is not difficult to obtain valuable information. Hundreds of people attended real estate dinners and listened to Hawke's expert lectures, but Hawke was the only one who made money from this information.
Therefore, it is not difficult to obtain information itself, but it takes keen insight, thinking brain and super execution to see the information gap clearly.
Information is an important resource in this era, and countries, enterprises and individuals will benefit from certain information.
We are exposed to a lot of information every day. Is this information useful? Whether we can use this ability to quickly judge information in violation of regulations requires us to accumulate in our life practice, life and work practice.
Making good use of opportunities is sowing the seeds of success, and the door of opportunities is open to everyone. Winners never wait for opportunities, but look for opportunities, seize opportunities and conquer them. Even if there is no opportunity now, we should pave the way for the opportunities we may encounter in the future.
