This idiom means to take what others discard. Originally, it described merchants who bought unsalable goods at low prices, waiting for prices to rise to sell them for profit. It has since been extended to mean benefiting from not competing with others.
这是一个成语,意思是别人不要的,我却要来。最初形容商人低价收购滞销货物以待高价出售,后引申为不与人争抢却能获益。
