The American Mittal Steel Company is an enterprise that has been operating for nearly a hundred years. After years of smelting and production, tens of thousands of tons of slag mixed with scrap steel have accumulated in the plant area. Although the scrap steel can be recycled, the cost of refining and its inventory is more than the loss.
Later, the municipal department will build a square more than a thousand meters away from the slag pile, and use the waste slag to pave the foundation. The iron and steel company was worried that the waste residue had nowhere to dispose of it, and immediately promised to transport them all free of charge. However, the municipal department found that large vehicles from the slag dump to the square could not pass through, and could only be transported by small vehicles or even manpower. This would cost 200,000 U.S. dollars, which nearly doubled the project budget.
Just as the municipal director was at a loss, a smelter owner named Mosman came to him and said: "Just give me $100,000 and I promise to ship all the waste to the square."
The municipal director was overjoyed and immediately signed a transportation contract with Molesman and paid him $100,000 in advance.
Mosman posted a square on the TV station: "Transport the waste slag of Mittal Steel to the square, and the scrap can be picked up, and there will be a special person to recycle it at a high price." Later, people drove tractors and dump trucks from all directions. Come, the ants move the waste to the square to pick up the scrap and sell it to Mosman's purchase point in the square.
In less than a month, all the waste slag was shipped, and Mosman used the money given to him by the municipality to purchase more than 100 tons of scrap steel.The scrap slag transporters got a lot of rewards, and Mossman used the scrap steel to make more than 90 tons of steel ingots. , Made a net profit of 150,000 U.S. dollars.
In work and life, we often encounter seemingly useless opportunities, but as long as we see the essence through the appearance, we will discover the beneficial factors, and then use wisdom and external forces to gain gains. There are many things in life. To succeed in the "help".
