Chapter 94 TECHNIQUE 84 The Purpose of Meals is to Eat
Have you ever wondered why many grown-ups eat lunch together for hours and into the evening?Do you suspect that they like to report public accounts, eat, drink, and talk about wine?Maybe there is a little bit of this ingredient in it.
But the main reason is that the table is a more sacred refuge than a banquet.Whether it is breakfast, lunch or dinner, as long as it is a meal time, the business dinner of a big man cannot discuss unpleasant business topics.
What do big shots talk about at lunch and dinner?Over pre-dinner drinks, the conversation was jovial, they chatted about golf, the weather, and mentally assessed the viability of the deal.When the main courses are served, the conversation is about food, art, current affairs and other innocuous topics.
"Isn't this a waste of time?" someone might ask.Wrong, no waste of time at all.At this time, the big men are watching each other's every move with wide eyes, evaluating each other's abilities.Natural winners know that a person's behavior in social situations can roughly reflect his business style.While chatting and laughing relaxedly, they were secretly making comments in their hearts.
The sanctuary most respected and defended by the great is the dining table.Never mention unpleasant topics when eating together.During the meal, you can brainstorm, you can discuss the positive value of the business, you can talk about their dreams, wishes and ideas.But rattling swords is absolutely prohibited. Such a tacit understanding is probably established in order not to hinder digestion.Tough negotiations are definitely not pleasant, and the delicious steak in front of you is therefore tasteless.
Finally, at coffee time after dinner, the bigwigs start to get down to business a little bit.Of course, they will act like they don't want to talk about it, but in fact they want to hide their relief that "it's finally back to business".They'll pretend to say, "Oh, even a business as good as yours can't help but care about profits." After playing guessing games such as these, you can officially cut into the topic.During the period, if there is any unhappiness or disagreement, everyone will unanimously leave it on another table—that is, the conference table for discussion. Now we're going to go into the last shelter to study it.
