Chapter 48 Thirty-fourth strategy

When a person harms himself, the harm must be true, and the false is true and false, so it can be done.The auspiciousness of Tongmeng is the same as Sunda. No one wants to be hurt, and being hurt must be doubtful; when I make a falsehood into a true, and make the enemy believe that it is true and not false, the divisive scheme can be realized.Therefore, we must be good at catering to the sympathy in the enemy camp and carry out activities according to the trend. Spies must use contradictions to make the enemy suspicious of each other, and anti-spies must use the enemy to steal my preset false information and do everything possible to make it believe it.Using bitter tricks is to pretend to be persecuted to break into the enemy's interior, and then take the opportunity to carry out espionage activities.Anyone who sends people who have conflicts with them to deceive the enemy, whether as internal support or as a coordinated operation, is a kind of bitter strategy.

When it comes to bitter tricks, everyone knows that "Zhou Yu fought against Huang Gai, one was willing to fight, and the other was willing to suffer." This can be regarded as the most famous bitter trick in China. However, to use bitter tricks, the price is often very high. Li assassinated Qingji. In order to win Qingji's trust, he not only asked Helu to cut off one of his arms, but also called his wife Helu in public. killed.It can be said that this bitter trick was used to its fullest, and thus gained Qingji's trust. When he stabbed Qingji, Qingji still breathed a sigh of relief, and said that he was a warrior, which shows that his bitter trick was very successful.

When Wang Zuo broke his arm and said Wenlong, he was also inspired by the threat of stabbing Qingji with his broken arm. He cut off an arm by himself. Only in this way did he gain the trust of Jin Wushu, and it was possible to get close to Lu Wenlong to tell the truth, so that he finally defected to the The Song army came to the camp. The marriage between the popular Greek ship queen Stina and the former Soviet KGB intelligence agent Kazov caused a sensation all over the world. With the help of medicine, he was able to save his life.Otherwise, Kazov's life would have been in vain.This plan was rarely successful, but it was only half done when they got divorced.

During the Spring and Autumn Period, Duke Jing of Jincheng exclusively favored Tu Anjia.Tu and Zhao Shuo, an important minister of the Jin State, competed for power. One night, Tu Anjia led his troops and secretly surrounded the lower palace where Zhao You lived. The soldiers rushed into Zhao's house and killed them. At dawn, it was found that one person was missing, and this person was Zhao Shuo's wife. Zhao Shuo's wife is the daughter of Mrs. Cheng in the palace. She happened to go back to her natal home during the massacre. When she heard the news that the nine clans had been wiped out, she ran to hide in Mrs. Cheng's palace.

One day, Gongsun Chu, Zhao Shuo's confidant, met Zhao Shuo's good friend Cheng Ying, and asked, "Doctor Zhao has been killed, how do you still have the face to live?" Cheng Ying carefully said to him: "You don't know, Dr. Zhao's wife has a posthumous child. If the child is a boy, I will raise him up. If the child is a girl, I will go to the hospital again." It's not too late to die!" Not long after, Zhao Shuo's wife gave birth to a boy. On this day, there was a burst of shouting outside the palace, and a court lady ran up and said, "It's not good! Ma'am! General Tu and his men came to the palace to ask for someone. They want to kill Mr. Zhao!"

The palace was in chaos for a while, when Mrs. Zhao was about to give birth to her son.Hiding in the waistband of his trousers, Deng prayed to the sky: "If God tells the Zhao clan to cut off the root, then you can cry loudly! If you shouldn't cut off the root, don't make a sound!" After a while, Tu Anjia rushed in with a knife. "Mrs. Zhao, please hand over the young master!" "What son, he is already dead, he was already dead when he was born! If you don't believe me, you can ask them." Mrs. Zhao pointed at the few maids, who nodded repeatedly and said, "Madam is right, we haven't even seen a live young master!"

Tu Anjia circled Mrs. Zhao three times in a row, and asked someone to push her back and forth, but Mr. Zhao seemed to understand that the danger was in front of him, so he hid himself on his mother and didn't say a word. Tu Anjia was puzzled: "Where did the man hide? Search for me!" The soldiers searched the palace several times, but found nothing, so they had to leave. The next day, Gongsunchu found Cheng Ying and said to him, "It's bad, Tu'anjia went to the palace to search for people yesterday. It's no way to go on like this. One day, the child will fall into their hands!"

Cheng Ying said, "I'm also very anxious, but I can't save him!" At this time, Gongsun Chujiu's eyes lit up and said, "Excuse me, sir, which is more difficult, death or raising Gu Gu?" Cheng Ying said: "Death is easy, but raising an orphan is also difficult!" Gongsun Chujiu said, "If that's the case, then I'll do this easy job and let me die first!" So the two secretly discussed the bitter plan to save Zhao's orphan. A few days later, Gongsun found another baby, wrapped it in high-quality silk, and brought it to the mountains to hide.

It happened that Tu Anjia issued an announcement that anyone who knew the whereabouts of Zhao's orphan would be rewarded with a thousand taels. Seeing the notice, Cheng Ying thought that the opportunity had come, so he ran to Tu Anjia's barracks and said, "Give me one thousand taels of gold, and I can tell you where the orphan of Zhao is?" All the generals knew that he was Dr. Zhao's friend, but they didn't believe it. Someone asked, "Don't you have the idea of ​​setting up an orphan of the Zhao family?" Cheng Ying said: "What's the use of having ideas, I don't have the ability anymore, so I have to be an unworthy person."

So everyone believed him, followed him to the mountains and caught Gongsun. Gongsun pretended to curse: "Cheng Ying, you villain, you didn't die in the past, you and I planned to support the orphan of the Zhao family, but today you betrayed me again, it is the orphan of the Zhao family who cannot succeed to the throne. You can't be so ruthless and unintentional!" Saying so, he started to cry loudly.Then Gongsun cried and said, "God, what is wrong with this child! Let me die and let him live!" After hearing this, all the generals and soldiers rushed forward, and Luan Yezhi chopped Gongsun and the fake son into two balls of meat.

Hearing that Mr. Zhao was dead, Tu Anjia felt relieved. Cheng Ying raised Zhao's orphan for 15 years and named him Zhao Wu. Later, Duke Jing of Jin got seriously ill, so he asked someone to go to the palace for divination. The inscription said: "After the great cause, those who have failed in ambition will get up again!" Jinggong was shocked and asked the people around him, "What does this mean?" People around him told him: "The descendants of the Zhao family will avenge the whole family." "Isn't the Zhao family already dead?" "The Zhao family still has descendants!" Upon hearing this, Duke Jing immediately asked Cheng Ying to summon Zhao Wu to the palace and hide him beside his bed.On this day, all the generals entered the palace to ask about Duke Jin's condition. Duke Jing said: "Generals, I invite you to meet someone." Then he invited Zhao Wu. When the generals saw that Zhao Wu suspected that Zhao Shuo was reincarnated, they were shocked. They all blamed Tu Anjia for the crime of exterminating Zhao, and immediately led troops to kill Tu's nine clans. Jin Jinggong ordered to rehabilitate the Zhao family, and divided the land and manor.Seeing that the Zhao family had made a comeback, Cheng Ying said to Zhao Wu: "You have grown up, and the revenge of the Zhao family has been avenged. His grace for saving your life!" After saying that, he committed suicide and died. The story of the orphan of the Zhao family later became one of the top ten tragedies in China and was widely performed at home and abroad. In the early 1960s, Japan's automobile industry lagged far behind that of the United States. In order to revitalize the automobile industry, Japan tried many methods, but none of them played a big role.For this reason, a Japanese automobile company thought of a way to select a group of senior employees from the company and send them to the United States to study. Kimura went to a car company in the United States and studied for more than a year. However, this car company paid great attention to him and never let him get close to key equipment. Kimura was very anxious. On this day, Kimura received a telegram from Japan. When he opened it, he saw that it was from the company. The content of the telegram was as follows: Mr. Kimura, if you can’t get what we need, don’t go back to Japan, and our company will not Hire you again. This put a lot of pressure on Kimura, because when he came to the United States, the company had to pay a large sum of money. Now Kimura has nothing, and the company has not asked him for debts, which is already quite good. That night, Kimura went to the hotel to drink alone. Due to his depressed mood, he got drunk unconsciously. When he walked to the street, he suddenly thought of committing suicide. Ending his own life in this place in the United States is also a very interesting thing. Anyway, it doesn't matter if you don't succeed or die.Just as he was thinking, a limousine drove towards him, and Kimura hit it head-on with the help of alcohol.The car braked immediately, but it was too late, the wheel passed over one of Kimura's legs.Kimura fainted from the pain, and when he woke up, he found himself lying on the hospital bed. At this time, an American took a look at him and ignored him. The American told him that he was the secretary of the general manager of an American automobile company, and that it was the general manager's car that hit him, and asked him what he wanted. . Kimura said: "I don't have any demands, I just want to die soon in the United States!" The secretary said again and again: "Mr. Kimura, please don't do this. If you have any requirements, you can just ask. Our general manager said that we will try our best to satisfy you as long as possible." At this time, Kimura thought of a bitter trick. Isn't this an opportunity?If he didn't bump into the general manager's car, would he have this good opportunity?Thinking of this, he said to his secretary: "I have lost a leg, and it is hard to find a job elsewhere. Can you find me a lifelong job in the company, and I can work until I retire." A few days later, the secretary came and told him: "The general manager said that he can take care of you for the elderly, so you don't have to come to work in the company." When Kimura heard this, he was anxious and said, "I don't want to be supported by others. I can work as a cleaner in the company. If you don't agree with me, then I will die!" The general manager saw that Kimura's attitude was very firm, so he agreed to his request. From then on, Kimura worked as a cleaner in the company. He worked very hard and often worked overtime. He scored every corner of the whole factory clean, and he often cleaned some important equipment workshops. At first, some people were worried about him. , I thought about it later, this is his lifelong job, and a disabled person like him can't live without the company. A year later, Kimura requested to return to China to visit his relatives. The company bought a plane ticket for him, and before leaving, they sent someone to secretly check his luggage, and found nothing suspicious. Back in Japan, Kimura took out the microfilm from the prosthetic leg. Two years later, a large number of Japanese cars poured into the United States, overwhelming the Americans. When I saw Mr. Kimura, the chief representative of the Japanese company with one leg, I suddenly realized, but it was too late. In 1983, the name of a Chinese entrepreneur appeared for the first time on the ranking list of the world's top 50 entrepreneurs; Wang Yongqing, chairman of Taiwan Plastics Group Corporation. In the 1950s, Taiwan urgently needed to develop textile, cement, and plastic industries. At that time, entrepreneur He Yi had a strong foundation in the chemical industry.The Taiwan government asked him to come forward to establish Taiwan's plastics industry. He Yi agreed at the beginning. After he went abroad for inspection, he decided not to invest any more. He believed that the production of plastics in Taiwan would compete with Japanese products, and there was only a dead end. At this time, Wang Yongqing, who was also a small businessman, decided to invest in plastics. After hearing about it, an old scientist said, "He wants to set up a factory before he even understands what plastics are. He will definitely lose money." Wang Yongqing's friends also thought that he was out of his head and whimsical, but this suddenly strengthened his confidence. In 1954, he raised a loan of 500,000 US dollars and cooperated with Zhao Tingzhen to open the first factory. Three years later, Started production, with a monthly output of 100 tons, but Taiwan can only sell 20 tons. At the same time, it is also competing with high-quality and cheap Japanese products, and all his products are piled up in the warehouse. Seeing this, many shareholders thought that it was a dead end as others said at the beginning, so they withdrew their shares one after another, and Wang Yongqing was suddenly forced to a dead end. At that time, there was only one way out, which was to reduce production or change varieties, but Wang Yongqing did the opposite.Further expand production.He sold all his property and put it all into plastic production.This is a daring and bitter strategy, and if it fails, it will be very poor. Wang Yongqing has put in a lot of effort, relying on high output and keeping costs and prices down.But it was unsuccessful. Due to the backward technology, it was very difficult to export. In order to solve this problem, he found a foreign engineer and gave him a factory for free, asking him to help solve technical problems. Can't live with wolves.After a series of efforts, the situation in Taiwan began to improve. In the second year, Wang Yongqing further expanded production, and he established his own processing plant, thus establishing a continuous production line of plastic raw materials and processing.In addition, the products have also begun to enter overseas markets, gradually surpassing Japanese products. Wang Yongqing rose to the challenge and overcame many difficulties, which enabled him to run the plastics business. He not only came back to life, but also made great progress. Starting from an annual output of 1,200 tons in 1956, he developed into a huge industrial group. In addition to more than a dozen large domestic In addition to the company, it also operates several large companies in the United States, with a total capital of 3.07 billion US dollars. At this time, many people understand that Wang Yongqing dared to take the road that others dared not take, dared to use bitter tricks, and did not pay attention to small gains and losses. This is really a brilliant move!But this step is not something ordinary people dare to take. Many people who have more money than Wang Yongqing dare not take this step. This fully reflects Wang Yongqing's extraordinary courage. Wang Yongqing took huge risks to develop overseas, which is inseparable from his national feelings. He often said: "The purpose of starting a business is to win the reputation of the Chinese. The Japanese bullied the Chinese back then. It was too much. Today the Japanese They dare not touch the Chinese anymore, and in some places they are a little afraid, and they still want to flatter them, and that is because we have brought the company up." Now, the output of Formosa Plastics exceeds half of the total productivity of Japan, which cannot but be said to be a miracle.
