기회

機会 is a common way to express “opportunity” in Japanese.

The first character means “chance,” and the second can be translated as “meeting.”

So in Japanese business, a “chance meeting” represents a real “opportunity.”

Note that this also means opportunity in Chinese, but it's more an oral or informal word in Mandarin. Also, the second Kanji is the same as the simplified version of the hui Chinese character.
