Be a Man and Do Things Pillow Book

Chapter 66 Be Prepared and Foresighted in Doing Things (2)
After several days of cold treatment, Su Qin let Zhang Yi see him.However, when they met, Su Qin deliberately put on a high profile, with a look of indifference, making Zhang Yi feel like sitting on pins and needles in the hall; when it was time to eat, Su Qin casually yelled him to sit with the servant.

Seeing that Zhang Yi was about to explode with anger, how could he still swallow a mouthful of food, Su Qin immediately raised the excitement to the highest point, and said to him in a very disdainful tone: "With your talent, you are so poor and humble. It's really unimaginable." And he added fuel to the fire: "With my current status, of course there is a way to make you rich immediately with a single sentence, but seeing your current appearance, I don't think it's worth it for me to do so." After finishing speaking, he issued an order to evict the guest, telling Zhang Yi to leave immediately.

After this humiliation, Zhang Yi was of course too angry to speak, wishing to give Su Qin a knife immediately, but reason told him that it is not too late for a gentleman to take revenge, thinking that only Qin State can subdue Zhao State, so he planned to enter Qin Guo looked for opportunities so that he could report Su Qinyi's "humiliating" revenge.

Just when Zhang Yi turned around and left angrily, Su Qin had already made arrangements and asked King Zhao for cooperation to let one of his cronies follow Zhang Yi, and also sent a set of chariots and horses and a lot of money to facilitate Zhang Yi to go around.

In this way, Zhang Yi soon met the King of Qin, and not long after, he got the courtesy and trust as he wished, and further discussed the strategy of how to attack the princes.

At this time, the escort sent by Su Qin felt that the mission had been accomplished, so he bid farewell to Zhang Yi and prepared to return to Zhao.

Zhang Yi said reluctantly: "With your help, I have a chance to get ahead. I just want to repay your kindness. Why do I have to go back now?"

The attendant immediately replied: "I don't know you. It is my master Su Qin who knows you. Let me tell you the truth now. Su Qin was worried that Qin State would attack Zhao State and destroy his co-ordinated strategy. More importantly, he thinks that you have enough knowledge to master the great affairs of Qin State, so he deliberately provoked you and let you defect to Qin State. The money to support you was also ordered by Su Qin. Now, my The task has been completed, and we have to go back to the business."

At this moment, Zhang Yi suddenly realized, and said with a sigh: "I am in the hands of Su Qin, but I don't know it. Obviously, my talent is not as good as Su Qin. How can I beat Zhao Guo?" Hu, he went back to his descendants to express his gratitude to Su Qin, and at the same time sent a message to assure Su Qin that Qin State would never attack Zhao State while Su Qin was the prime minister of Zhao State.In this way, when Su Qin was the prime minister of Zhao State, Zhang Yi did not plan to attack Zhao State.

There is no doubt whether Su Qin really has such a "supernatural ability" to grasp the "trajectory" of the world situation so accurately, and almost influence the direction of history, but his story of knowing people and talents is indeed thought-provoking.

Big people, do big things.Ordinary people, follow the path of ordinary people.Right and wrong, cause and effect in the world, although intricate, are not without traces.If you are willing to take the trouble to observe it, you may be able to see its subtleties, or the hidden track; and the deeper and closer you grasp it, the more ability and opportunity you will have to avoid bad luck or dominate the future.Looking far and being a round person is equivalent to buying insurance, isn't it?

Of course, if you don't work hard, you will always have the boss mentality of hiding everything and being afraid of who.

To be successful, it seems, still need some actuarial work on the sophistication of the world.

Take the roundabout as the straight and take a long-term view.

The one who knows the straightforward strategy wins.In the face of complex things, if we can achieve "weights and weights" and "calculation and straightness", recognize contradictions, transform contradictions in a favorable direction, take one step, look at two steps, think about three steps, and follow the goal step by step, Use your "fox-like cunning" head, use your intelligence and wisdom, and change the song into the straight, and you will be able to succeed.

Whether you can look long-term and foresee the future is undoubtedly important for a person who wants to succeed. "Those who are bright see far but are not budding."Smart people have great foresight, know straightforward strategies, are good at changing and capturing opportunities.

"Sun Tzu Military Struggles" says: "Army who is in a difficult situation will use detours as a straight line and use adversity as a profit." "The Most Difficult", and among "The Most Difficult in the World", "knowing the straightforward way" is the most difficult.If the "competing for profit" here is understood as "competing for opportunities", those who can grasp and plan a direct relationship can obtain opportunities.The so-called knowing the roundabout way is to know the way of taking the roundabout way. On the surface, this strategy seems to have taken a roundabout way, but in fact it creates conditions for obtaining opportunities and achieving success more directly, effectively and quickly.

We believe that seeing the straight in the straight and the straight in the straight is the first long-term issue.What is "seeing straight in music" and "seeing music in straight"?Lenin said: "People's cognition is not a straight line (that is, it is not carried out along a straight line), but a curve that is infinitely close to a series of circles, close to a spiral. Any fragment, fragment, or small segment of this curve can be reduced (one-sidedly) into an independent and complete straight line which can lead people (if the forest is not seen for the trees) into the mud pit, into monasticism, where the class of the ruling class Interest will consolidate it."

It is based on the profound analysis of objective things.The analysis needs to be in-depth and requires observation. After long-term observation, "you can see the rice when you see it", and wait for the opportunity.

Enterprise management is full of things that have straightness in the song and twists in the straight.In business practice, ancient merchants and modern entrepreneurs have created a lot of good experience in using roundabout tactics.Some of these experiences have been crystallized into business proverbs and maxims that are circulated in the business world, such as "in order to benefit more next year, I would rather benefit less this year", and implement new products such as "support the horse, send a ride, and serve the door", "three Share the profits and eat the profits, and take seven parts of the profits and eat the capital" and so on.

Phil, the former president of the Bell Telephone Company in the United States, is an entrepreneur with a long-term vision.Because of his foresight, Bell Telephone Company became the largest and fastest growing private enterprise in the world.During his 20 years as the president of the company, Fair has successfully made four correct decisions that are related to the survival and development of Bell Corporation and enabled it to grow rapidly amidst various risks.These four decisions are: first, put forward the so-called slogan of "Bell's service is the purpose"; second, implement the so-called "public control"; third, establish the Bell Research Institute; fourth, create a public capital market.These four decisions made by Fair are not "good medicines" to solve the current needs, but creative big decisions with an eye on the future.These decisions were very different from the "well-known" views at the time, and aroused great controversy. Fair himself was even fired by Bell's board of directors.However, a few years later, Fair's four major decisions actually happened to deal with the special difficulties encountered by Bell, and Bell achieved amazing success.At that time, whether to provide customers with the best service became an important issue of whether the enterprise could continue to develop, and the slogan "serve as the purpose" put forward by Fair, as well as the measures to improve service quality and measure the level of service formulated for this, So that Bell can adapt to the requirements of the times.At that time, the United States issued an alarm to nationalize the telephone, and the public control proposed by Fair sought to ensure the interests of the company and enable Bell to continue to survive.At that time, due to the rapid progress of science and technology, the telecommunications industry achieved great development.The communication technology first developed by the Bell Research Institute established by Fair has become the forerunner of various new developments in science and technology.At that time, the capital market shifted from the speculative market in the 20s to the middle-class housewife market of the so-called "Mama Sally". Dividends, enjoy asset appreciation, and be free from the threat of inflation, thus ensuring that Bell has enjoyed ample sources of funds for nearly 50 years.

Fair's big decision is straightforward, in a word, to seek opportunities in the future.

Enough is the right way.

Everything needs to pay attention to strategy and careful thinking. Whether it is investment or reflection after failure, you must have a good plan, or leave a way out for yourself.We must pay attention to when enough is enough, otherwise we will suffer.

Most successful people tend to seek opportunities in areas they are familiar with from time to time.

Whenever a new field is discovered, as long as there are objective benefits to be gained, there is often a steady stream of participants.At this time, your advanced consciousness is very important.

How to be moderately advanced?Instead of taking two or three steps at a time, you can only take one step at a time and make steady progress.The level of each step can be faster, but never two or three steps at a time, in this way, "haste makes waste".

Mr. Matsushita of Japan once said that he always has good hopes for the future, but he always walks step by step and enjoys the joy of approaching hope step by step.If you take two steps and take one step at a time, you will definitely fall in the middle, which may plunge society into chaos and have a bad influence.It is very important for operators to see this clearly.

Use your strategy to make you invincible.

When you want to do a new job, you must think about it first, and you must not start immediately.What I want to start today is only the things that suit my appetite, and other things, no matter how delicious they are said to be, I can't touch them.Appetite can be adjusted by oneself, but "career desire" is different, it can only rely on one's own self-awareness, so self-reflection is often required.Combining the company's comprehensive strength to do the work that is most suitable for the company, although it is troublesome, its security is still very solid.Even if you think this way, sometimes you will act too hastily. At this time, you should turn back immediately, but it is difficult to find this key, so the operator should pay special attention.If a mistake occurs, the operation will easily lead to failure, and most of the failure of the operation is caused by this. Therefore, the operator must always reflect.

When everyone starts to rush to create, it's time to retreat bravely.Most people have a lot of desires. As long as they find a business that can make money, everyone will rush to run it.It may be good for a short time, but after a period of time, it will immediately fall into vicious competition, making everyone unable to make money, or even going out of business or going bankrupt. There are too many such things.If you want to avoid such a situation, it can still be done, then enough is enough.

Mr. Matsushita once experienced such a thing, that was in 1952.At that time, he visited the Tokyo office, and there were vacuum tubes in the office. He saw "vacuum tubes" for the first time.At that time, it was installed in the radio and it was very popular.The director of the office said to him: "This is the best-selling item in Tokyo recently. Is Osaka going to sell it?"

After hearing this, Mr. Matsushita thought it was "very interesting" and hoped to sell it in Osaka as soon as possible, so he immediately negotiated with the vacuum tube manufacturer.It turned out that the factory was small in scale and not well-funded, and the production could not keep up with the order, so I paid 3000 yuan to buy [-] pieces, and it was difficult to buy one more.

Back in Osaka, Mr. Matsushita approached the wholesaler of vacuum tubes. At that time, because there were few goods coming in, everyone was eager to order Matsushita Electric. As a result, the income of Matsushita Electric was more than 1 yuan, which was a huge sum at that time. small payment.Later, the number of manufacturers manufacturing vacuum tubes gradually increased, and the prices naturally gradually decreased, which will definitely affect Panasonic's profits from them.

After some thinking, Mr. Matsushita decided to stop from the vacuum tube, and notified the production factory and customers. The factory was of course very happy because it could obtain customers in the Osaka area unconditionally, and the customers would naturally have no objection.As a result, Panasonic withdrew capital from this vacuum tube sales business that had not yet created considerable profits.

After four or five months, the prices of radio accessories dropped sharply, putting some profitable factories and retailers into trouble.

Panasonic did not suffer any losses because it closed quickly.
