A Nisayon Made in China | Yonason Schwartz

As the owner of Toys 2 Discover, I used to travel every single year to the Hong Kong Toy Show, which is probably the biggest toy show in the world. And every time before the show, I used to go into my Mashgiach, R’ Moshe Wolfson zt”l, where I used to daven and ask him for a Bracha and Hatzlochas HaDerech. In 2013, when I came into Shul, and I went over after davening to the Mashgiach zt”l, and I asked him for a Bracha, that I'm going to Hong Kong. And he wished me a very interesting Bracha, You should have Shmiras Einayim. And I said to the Mashgiach, I would like to have a Bracha for Hatzlocha. He told me this sentence, Shmiras Einayim is Hatzlocha. Obviously, it was a very interesting experience, because every single year he used to just wish me Hatzlocha, and this year, he just added this line, Shmiras Einayim is Hatzlocha. I remember sitting on the plane and thinking about this ‘Shmiras Einayim is Hatzlocha’, and I did not understand exactly what the Mashgiach meant. The main reason why I went to Hong Kong in that particularly year, was I was trying to get contact and get an agreement with a company to sell their product on my Amazon account. I used to have quite a big Amazon account, where I was a seller, and it was very, very difficult to get a contract with that company to be able to sell their products on Amazon US. I emailed them for about six months back and forth, back and forth, and finally, finally, I was able to get an appointment. That was a doll accessory company, which I basically wanted very, very much to get an approval to sell their products. As I arrived at their office in the designated time and rang the bell, the door opens and there were a few ladies who were dressed extremely inappropriately. After all, it was a doll accessory company. And I immediately, immediately came into my head, Shmiras Einayim is Hatzlocha, and I basically turned around, went to the elevator and didn't even want to go in. They recognized me, because they asked me for identification and they said: Come back, come back. And I did not want to come back and I just left. Then I threw them an email, You know, it was really inappropriate because, you know, many religious people come to this show. You showed up very inappropriate. Immediately, they sent me an apology, and followed up with an email that their boss really apologizes and they gave me a contract. A few years later, I was able to sell my Amazon account for a very, very good profit. And the main reason why I sold this Amazon account for this amount that I got, was because I got a contract with this doll company. Turned out to be Shmiras Einayim is Hatzlocha.
