Chapter 123 Create a situation to achieve the goal

Asking for help sometimes fails, what should I do?It is possible to create a false situation, bring the person being sought into the "bureau", and let him do things unconsciously through clever arrangements. Zheng Banqiao is good at painting bamboo, orchid, stone, and chrysanthemum, and his handwriting is also excellent.There is an endless stream of people who come to ask for calligraphy and painting. However, Zheng Banqiao was proud of his talents and despised the rich and powerful. Some dignitaries wanted to ask for calligraphy and painting, even if they came with a cart full of silver, they were all rejected by him.A rich man built a new mansion, which is luxurious and magnificent, but it lacks a bit of elegance.Someone suggested, why not get two calligraphy and paintings of Zheng Banqiao and hang them in the living room, wouldn't it be elegant and refined?When Fu Hao heard this, he slapped his thigh fiercely, wonderful!Carrying the cash box, he ran to Zheng Banqiao's house.After the business card was sent in, the door was blocked as usual. The reasons were nothing more than that the husband was out, uncomfortable, and practicing Qigong, etc., several times in a row.

Later, when the rich man was chatting with a friend of a senior official, he mentioned this matter, and the senior official said: "Why don't you even know what kind of person Zheng Banqiao is? Don't talk about you, I want his paintings, and I want them." I haven't got it for several years." Hearing this, the rich man regained his energy and boasted: "Look at me, within a few days, I will definitely be able to get some calligraphy and paintings, and let him write my name on them." name." Therefore, the rich man sent his men to inquire about Zheng Banqiao's living habits and various hobbies.Hard work pays off.After many inquiries and observations, the rich man finally discovered Zheng Banqiao's preferences: he loves the sound of silk and bamboo, and especially loves to eat dog meat.Therefore, the rich man carefully designed a bureau.

One day, Zheng Banqiao went out for a walk, and suddenly heard the melodious sound of a qin coming from a distance.So, following the sound, he found that the sound of the piano came from a courtyard, the courtyard door was ajar, and Zheng Banqiao pushed the door in. He was greatly surprised by the scene in front of him: in the courtyard, there were many green bamboos and strange stones. The silver beard is elegant, playing the piano happily.Oh, isn't this clearly a picture? When the old man saw him, he stopped abruptly. Zheng Banqiao was a little embarrassed to see that he had ruined his interest, but the old man didn't care, and enthusiastically let him sit down. The two talked about poetry and piano, quite speculatively.While the conversation was in full swing, suddenly, there was a strong smell of dog meat. Zheng Banqiao was surprised, but his saliva could not help but flow down.After a while, a servant brought a jug of wine and a large bowl of overcooked dog meat to them.When he saw dog meat, Zheng Banqiao's eyes were glued to it. Just as the old man said "please", he even forgot to say the polite words, and he couldn't wait to eat the meat.

Zheng Banqiao realized that after eating dog meat like a storm, Zheng Banqiao realized that he didn't even know his surname and name, so he was eating indiscriminately here.Now that he is full of wine and food, he can't just flick his sleeves, say "goodbye" and leave!However, how should I thank others?Let's save some money, not only is it too vulgar, but also I went out for a walk by myself without bringing any money!So, he said to the old man: "It is a great honor to meet you today. Thank you for your hospitality. I can't repay you. Please find a pen and paper. I will draw a few strokes as a souvenir." Still a little embarrassed, he said repeatedly: "Eating a meal is just a trivial matter, why should you care about it!" Zheng Banqiao thought he didn't care about calligraphy and painting, so he boasted: "Although my calligraphy and painting are not very good, they can still be exchanged for silver. "Then the old man found a pen and paper. After Zheng Banqiao finished painting, he asked the old man's name. The old man gave one. ".Seeing that the old man smiled with satisfaction, he said goodbye and left.

The next day, the painting was hung in the rich man's living room, and the rich man even invited guests to enjoy it together.The guests thought that he had bought it at a high price elsewhere, but when they saw his name on the calligraphy and painting, they believed that Zheng Banqiao had painted it specially for him.After the news spread, Zheng Banqiao couldn't believe his ears.He searched along the walking route that day, and found that it turned out to be an uninhabited house, and only then realized that he had fallen into someone's trap. "Celebrities" are also human beings, so naturally they have all the weaknesses of ordinary people.For example, Zheng Banqiao, although he doesn't like to paint for others casually, but he can't change his hobby of being elegant and eating dog meat.Therefore, the rich man took advantage of his weaknesses and deliberately arranged a scene that literati and inkmen love, waiting for Zheng Banqiao to "enter the game".Zheng Banqiao, who ate up all the dog meat and felt that "it's indecent to come and don't reciprocate", and is a "yuppie", naturally had no choice but to "post dog meat in pictorial newspapers".

This game is cleverly set up, and the most important thing is that the rich man has caught Zheng Banqiao's special hobby. In the workplace, it is also a good way to ask someone to do things by grasping the other person's special hobbies, creating a fake situation by doing what they like, and accomplishing things that you are not able to accomplish. A politician wanted to find a good job in the Northeast. He once asked a powerful boss to recommend him to Zhang Zuolin, but he returned in vain.Once he met an old friend who happened to be Zhang Zuolin's adviser.The politician told him his situation and asked him to urge Zhang Zuolin.

The old friend thought for a while and said: "I came up with a plan. The old man likes to play cards very much recently. We invite him to dinner and play cards. You are only allowed to lose, not to win. You might as well lose all your own money, and you must let the old man win satisfaction." .At that time, I will have a clever plan." So, all the plans to take care of the consultation were carried out. On this day, Zhang Zuolin's cards were very smooth, and he could get whatever card he wanted. village.He was so happy! After playing cards, Zhang Zuolin chatted with the consultant while eating.The consultant praised him: "Marshal, you played the card very well!" Zhang Zuolin said with a smile, "Well, it's just luck!" The consultant changed the subject and said, "That one lost a lot today! He He is not rich either, and he came to Beijing this time to find a job." Zhang Zuolin heard this and said, "He is your friend, so just return the check to him, and we don't care if it's one thousand or two thousand! "As he spoke, he went to his pocket to take out the check.

The consultant repeatedly waved his hands and said: "No way, he is also a person who cares about face. He will never get back the money he lost. If the commander-in-chief takes pity on him, why don't you give him a job, he will be grateful! "Zhang Zuolin suddenly remembered something, patted his head and said: "Oh, I remembered, a certain old man once recommended him, I will help him!" The consultant hurriedly said: "Then I will thank the commander for him first Lah!" Within a week, that politician went to Northeast China to become an official. Taking advantage of Zhang Zuolin's hobby of playing cards, Zhang Zuolin's consultant set up a unique poker game, and then took the opportunity to get a good job for his friend.

It can be seen from the above two stories about setting up a game that the key to setting up a game is "smartness", cleverly grasping the other party's hobbies and psychological characteristics, and then arranging the scenes and characters, acting together, and letting the other party play in the "play" Do things for yourself.
