Chapter 31 Chapter 31 "Beauty Trap" and Dividend Distribution

In "Thirty-Six Strategies", there is a strategy that people know very well, but keep it secret, and that is the first strategy of the sixth set of defeat strategies: "Beauty Trick".For this strategy, there is an explanation in the book: "The strong soldiers attack their generals; the wise ones cut down on their emotions. The weak soldiers will collapse and their power will wither. Use the imperial bandits to protect each other." It means : To deal with a powerful enemy, subdue its general and try to corrode his will to fight.When the fighting spirit of the general declines, the morale of the soldiers decreases, and the army loses its combat effectiveness.Using the enemy's weaknesses to control and disintegrate, our army can take advantage of the situation to preserve its strength.

Someone said: "God created men to create the world, and then created women to control men." Using beautiful women to deal with enemies is a trick for beauties. Women, although they are not good at slashing swords and leaping horses, galloping on the battlefield, but they can "smile cleverly" and are good at seductiveness.Even if it is an iron wall and a fortress, the three armies can't break through it, and the general can't do anything. As long as the beauty comes out, the cigarettes in custody are destroyed, and they surrender. The reason why women have this magical power can be said to be the creation of God deliberately wanting to conquer men, especially for those heroes.Heroes and beauties are like one, regardless of ancient and modern, Chinese and foreign, occupying all the historical scenes.There is nothing else, we need each other, if we say good, we complement each other, if we say bad, we are friends.Therefore, the use of beauty tricks will never be limited by time and space. Those who use this trick to win the head of a general on the battlefield, and those who use this trick to win the head of state in Congress, have fathers who are more expensive than daughters, brothers who are more expensive than sisters, and even There are those who are willing to wear a cuckold but whose husband depends on their wife.This trick can not only lure the enemy, but also serve as a ladder to climb up.

There are countless examples of "beauty tricks" in history, but the most famous one is the story of "Present Diao Chan and Wang Yun to get rid of Dong Zhuo". At the end of the Eastern Han Dynasty, Emperor Xian of the Han Dynasty died of illness, and the young emperor Liu Bian succeeded to the throne.Because of his young age, the important minister Dong Zhuo was regent.This person is domineering, kills innocent people indiscriminately, and has the ambition to usurp the throne and stand on his own.The ministers of the court hated him deeply, and wanted to punish him by rectifying the policy of the court.However, Dong Zhuo had many followers, and he even had an adopted son, Lu Bu. He was the number one general at the end of the Han Dynasty.

When Da Situ Wang Yun saw that Dong Zhuo was getting more domineering, he couldn't help feeling very worried, and determined to get rid of this traitor for the world.He knew in his heart that because of Lv Bu's presence, he couldn't take it by force, so he wanted to win by cleverness.Wang Yun knew that both Dong and Lu were lustful, so he decided to take advantage of their weaknesses.He had a kabuki named Diao Chan, who was sixteen years old and had a good sex, so he regarded him as his own daughter, so he conspired with Diao Chan: "The current thief Dong Zhuo, who controls the government, wants to usurp the throne, and has an adopted son Lu Lian. , very brave, the ministers of the court and the central government, there is nothing they can do. From my point of view, these two people are all lustful people. They want to use beauty tricks and use you as a bait so that they can act out of it, so as to make them turn their backs. In this way, there is hope for saving the Han Dynasty. , I don't know what you want?" Diao Chan generously agreed in order to repay Wang Yun's kindness in nurturing.A few days later, Wang Yun invited Lu Bu to drink and introduced Diao Chan to him.Seeing Diao Chan's beauty, Lu Bu couldn't help salivating.Wang Yun followed suit and sent Diao Chan to Lu Bu as his concubine.Lü Bu was overjoyed, and agreed to choose a good day to say goodbye and take Diao Chan to the house.

A few days later, Wang Yun invited Dong Zhuo to his home for a drink.During this period, Diao Chan was ordered to hold the lamp for Dong Zhuo.When Dong Zhuo saw Diao Chan, he couldn't help but be moved. Wang Yun took the opportunity to send the electric shovel to Dong Zhuo. Dong Zhuo immediately took Diao Chan back to his house. When Lu Bu heard that his concubine was taken away by his adoptive father, he couldn't help feeling angry.One day, when Dong Zhuo was away, he came to see You Chan secretly, and Diao Chan cried to Lv Bu about the pain of Dong Zhuo's domination. Lv Bu added fuel to the fire and vowed to take Diao Chan back.At this time, Dong Zhuo caught up with Dong Zhuo returning to the mansion, and seeing the two whispering, he couldn't help being furious, and stabbed Lv Bu violently with his halberd.Lü Bu was shocked and fled.From then on, the father and son formed a grudge, and Lv Bu swore to himself: "If you don't kill the old thief, you will not be a man." A few days later, Wang Yun killed Dong Zhuo by Lv Bu's hand.This is a very typical "beauty trap".

"Beauty tricks" require that for enemies that cannot be defeated by direct military actions, they should "raise their rebellious officials to confuse them, and enter beautiful women and lewd voices to confuse them." From ancient times to the present, there are many examples of beauty tricks as a strategy.In history, Fan Lizhi used Xi Shi, and Yang Guozhong used Yang Guifei, both of whom were stunning beauties, and both received extraordinary results.However, if it is used in the stock industry, it will be insidious.I would like to advise stock investors, especially those "big names" in the stock market, not to use this strategy to deal with those competitors.

In fact, we can understand the beauty trick from another angle. The reason why "heroes" are attracted to "beauties" is because of her "beauty"; the reason why stockholders are attracted to stocks is because of their high returns. Behind the stock, it is often accompanied by risks.From this point of view, the two are somewhat similar.A scheming "hero", in order to avoid being caught in a "beautiful trap", had better be self-confident, so as to keep things safe; and those shareholders with small capital, in order to avoid the catastrophe of the stock market, it is best to get involved in the stock market less trading activities.Because in addition to stock trading, stockholders have another way to earn more income than ordinary investments, and that is dividends.

Dividend is a relatively stable income calculated according to the par value of the stock, generally a fixed percentage of the par value.There are three main categories of dividends: cash dividends, stock dividends, and dividends in kind.Cash dividends refer to dividends paid in cash, which are especially valued by investors after the stock market is bearish.Stock dividend means that the company pays dividends in the form of stocks, that is, after maturity, shareholders receive not cash, but the company's stock.When the economy is developing and the stock market is bullish, this form of dividends is very popular, because the appreciation of stock prices is often more than cash income, and it also reduces the investment cost of stocks and postpones tax payments.For example, a shareholder repurchases 50 shares of 40 yuan per share, and later receives 30 shares of stock dividends from the company. In this way, the shareholder's actual unit investment cost is no longer 40 yuan, but 25 yuan.Since the tax agency only taxes cash, he can defer paying taxes.Dividends in kind mostly refer to the fact that the parent company distributes the equity of its subsidiaries to shareholders as dividends, which is relatively rare.

It's worth noting the similarities between stock dividends and stock splits, another way companies raise capital.Stock analysis, also known as stock split, is to divide the original stock according to a certain ratio, usually 2:1 or 3:1 or other combinations. "2:1" is to exchange one share of the original stock for two shares of new stock; "3:1" is to exchange three shares of new stock.The situation of stock analysis mostly occurs when the company's operation is very successful and the stock price is soaring.From the perspective of investors, there is little difference between stock dividends and stock splits, because they do not change the position of each shareholder in the company's total shares, and at the same time, the proportion of the actual profit of par shares does not change.But it is different in the accounting sense. When the company pays stock dividends, the accounting books show an increase in the share capital and a decrease in the proportion of surplus funds; while when the company splits shares, the share capital in the accounting accounts remains unchanged, just The total number of shares increases, but the face price of the shares decreases.In addition, it is necessary to distinguish between the different concepts of dividends and dividends.Generally speaking, dividends come first and dividends come later.Dividend refers to the profit that the shareholders of the enterprise obtain from the enterprise, and the dividend refers to the profit that the shareholders obtain from the enterprise in excess of the dividend.Generally, only ordinary shares can obtain dividends, because the dividends of ordinary shares are uncertain and vary with the size of corporate profits, while preferred shares receive dividends at a nominal interest rate.

By convention, the company has 4 different dates when it distributes dividends, the dividend announcement date, the dividend removal date, the shareholding registration date and the dividend payment date.Large companies in some countries often publish or announce in other forms in various newspapers across the country. The dividend announcement date refers to the date on which the board of directors studies and decides to distribute dividends.The ex-dividend date is the most critical date for many stock investors. Whether it is a cap-snatching speculator or a speculator who wants to obtain dividends, they will make major decisions based on the stock market at this moment.

The so-called excluding dividend date refers to the gap where there is no dividend.Any investor who purchases the stock before the "dividend exclusion date" is entitled to receive the dividends it will distribute.Those purchased on or after the ex-dividend date do not have this right.In the U.S. securities trading business, the stock price on the ex-dividend day should be lower than that of the previous day, and the price difference between the two days is the amount of dividends that should be distributed.If the stock price on the ex-dividend day is the same as or even higher than that of the previous day, it means that the stock price has risen.The price difference before and after the ex-interest rate is exactly the wealth that those "snatching hats" who do short-term trading are chasing.For investors who generally only want to receive dividends, they should also buy stocks before the ex-dividend date, and also pay attention to whether their names are registered in the shareholder register of the stock issuing company, because only the shareholder register of the stock issuing company contains Only the named person is entitled to receive the dividend.It is for this reason that the board of directors declares a share registration date by which all purchasers whose names are entered on the register shall be entitled to dividends. As soon as the dividend payment date arrives, stockholders can collect it at the company's agencies located in various places.In the case of registered stocks, the company can also send them separately.In short, it is not until this time that you have actually received the dividends and obtained the income due to the investment.Dividends are indeed a relatively safe income.However, as the saying goes: "If you don't enter the tiger's den, how can you catch tiger cubs." Although the stock market is risky, it is not invincible. Although the "beauty trick" is vicious, but hasn't it happened in history that Zhuge Liang's plan was determined, and Zhou Gongjin's "beauty trick" failed, and he lost his wife and lost his army?
