Chapter Seventy-Three: Group Studies

What is Group Studies? In the era when Ye Tao came from, those who have some humanities background may scoff and say: Isn't that the synthesis of some basic knowledge in sociology, group psychology, management psychology, human resource management, etc.? What's the big deal?

However, in the era that Ye Tao is now in, the natural sciences and the humanities have not been completely separated, and the most enthusiastic about learning from things and making many inexplicable statements are the so-called great Confucians of the time.

When Ye Tao talked eloquently about what a group was and what types of groups there were, everyone began to straighten their backs and listen carefully. When Ye Tao talked about the status and role of individuals in the group, how individuals influence the group and other individuals in the group, and how to adjust the goals of the group and the goals of the individuals to make them consistent or inconsistent, some people have keenly discovered that this is teaching them how to be good subordinates, be good bosses, and teach them how to lead all kinds of soldiers or other subordinates.

In the military, senior people who meet people close to them may teach them what to do in this regard, but they don't always explain why they should do it. Sometimes, it's confusing why some methods work for some people and why they don't for others. But after listening to Ye Tao's theory of combining examples, everyone has a feeling of enlightenment. It turns out that whether it is to win people's hearts, motivate subordinates, establish authority, or sow discord. There are so many theories and theories to combat differentiation. In particular, those middle-level officers who have been officers for several years and have initial experience in managing and being managed are particularly impressed. Once the methods you know and the theories you know are combined, there is no doubt that the management level of many people with flexible brains can be upgraded to a level in an instant.

And more importantly, when Ye Tao is talking about these contents. Although it emphasizes the fact that the group is easily influenced and misled by the individual, it does not mean to belittle the grassroots soldiers, but treats the officers and soldiers as equal individuals in the group, as equals who influence each other in the group.

Although what Ye Tao told is a little esoteric to many people, it is definitely not difficult to understand. During the lecture, he even arranged several small games to let everyone experience how the group influences each other in an interactive way. A number of specific scenarios – often dilemmas between the interests of groups and individuals – were also designed to ask some people. Ye Tao even changed the conditions in some scenarios at any time and asked again. Then change some and ask again, until the person being questioned broke down in a cold sweat and began to question whether he was qualified to be responsible for the lives of his brothers.

Ye Tao didn't find it difficult to give such a lecture. Much of what he did was to reminisce and look for concrete cases that fit the times. He was proud to see the place where he announced the end of the lecture. Everyone present had an aftertaste and benefited a lot from their expressions, and he secretly said in his heart: Damn, it turned out that I flew to Beijing every year for two consecutive years to participate in the expensive and terrifying one-month full-time training. It's not a waste of time to listen to those who are so awesome about advanced management courses.

"The cloud is taught." What Ye Tao didn't expect was that after the lecture ended, Di Chiyun, who had been promoted to the deputy commander of the forbidden army, stopped him in the background and bowed deeply to him.

"What's wrong?" Ye Tao was still a little strange.

"What today's son said, when put in the army, is the essentials of commanding the army, and when put in the officialdom, it is the trick of being an official. It's really ...... that Childe can say it to everyone so selflessly."

"Brother Chi, it's not a big deal." Ye Tao waved his hand and said, "Familiarity with military books may not lead to becoming a general." Reciting millions of classics is not necessarily a Confucian, and businessmen who are familiar with their accounts but lose their old books abound. The use of wonder, in one mind. Does Brother Chi think so? ”

Chi Yun thought for a while, nodded, and said, "What I heard and witnessed today, I will write it down after I go back and present it to His Majesty." Ye Gongzi, these statements can really play a big role. ”

Seeing Chi Yun, he hesitated. Ye Tao asked, "Brother Chi has anything else to say." Just say it. ”

Chi Yun asked, "Looking at what Gongzi said today, some of them seem to be unfinished. Is it because there is not enough time? ”

Ye Tao nodded and said, "If you want to finish talking about all these things, don't say one hour, I'm afraid ten hours is still less to say." ”

Chi Yun hurriedly asked, "So...... Will there be such lectures in the future? ”

"Would you like to hear it?"

"That's nature!" Chi Yun hurriedly said.

"Ten days later, it's too much trouble to prepare examples." Ye Tao nodded. The people who used to listen to the lecture can now give lectures to people, and it is still this kind of extremely high-level lecture, although Ye Tao will not be complacent, but he is indeed encouraged.

Without waiting for Chi Yun to take advantage of the fact that his memory was still fresh, the notes he had compiled all night were submitted, and that night, Ye Tao's "group studies" lecture shook the entire Danyang and the entire high-level of Dongping.

"Alas," Gao Zhen was silent for a long time after listening to the explanation of a retired officer who served as a supervisor in the Huoqi Army who had a fairly good relationship with the Gao family and listened to the lecture. And in the end, he could only sigh: "Ye's workshop may indeed be able to have today, but as soon as Ye Tao comes out, will the young talents of the entire Dongping become his foil?" ”

After being in the officialdom for a long time, Gao Zhen is more likely than ordinary people to understand the significance of Ye Tao's so-called "group studies". It is conceivable that after learning what Ye Tao said today, the officials and imperial historians who have always been nitpicky will definitely attack him in groups. Although there is not a single word in "group studies" that mentions conspiracy, it is full of conspiracy. Those officials and imperial historians who had always had little roots in their minds now regarded Ye Tao as their enemy. Because of Ye Tao, because of things related to Ye Tao, Chen Tingfang was kicked out of the council hall. They don't dare to do anything to Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohua who dares to stand up, but they will always keep the spearhead on Ye Tao, and they will try their best to find a righteous name to let Ye Tao go to prison. …… But they will never succeed.

It's hard to imagine. A person who is able to organize so many leadership arts, the relationship between superiors and subordinates and colleagues into a doctrine at a young age will not know how to distinguish between friends and foes in officialdom, in shopping malls, in this complicated world, and then find his own footing. Gao Zhen didn't believe that the doctrine that could be said was all the wisdom in Ye Tao's mind. Gao Zhen, on the other hand, began to seriously consider redefining the relationship between his Gao family and the Ye family. may make his son Gao Zhuo very unhappy, but now Di Gao Zhen has begun to feel it. If you want to deal with the Ye family, it will definitely not be easy, and you will inevitably pay a great price.

When Lu Dan reminded Ye Tao in private, what he said was already a bit ...... Extraordinary...... Or when it touches someone's nerves and is not good for him. Ye Tao understood that in this era of righteousness and peace in the ostensibly flaunting courtesy, righteousness and shame everywhere, what he said would cause as many shocks. Indeed, in the army, in the mall. In officialdom, this is extremely useful knowledge. However, it is not knowledge that can be put on the table right now.

But, having said that, what else can be done? Although this may mean that you have to rely on the protection of the princess and others to survive a wave of attacks. But so what? Ye Tao was already a little unimpressed. What he was thinking about was how to make the next lecture more exciting.

"Young Master, Her Royal Highness Princess Zhaohua is invited." When he finally took that step, Ye Tao naturally would not continue to be too gentlemanly in his relationship with Sophie. And the housekeeper Lu Dan had to get used to letting others prepare breakfast for Ye Tao in the morning, and sometimes he had to go to the door of the bedroom at the right time to wake up the young master. As the manager, Lu Dan is very dissatisfied with Sophie's current work attitude, but he knows that this may not be the way.

"Your lecture is wonderful." Looking at Ye Tao, who came directly to the princess's mansion after getting up, he concentrated on eliminating the princess's mansion's always too light meals, and Tan Weixin, who was holding a stack of paperwork in his hand, teased.

“…… Don't say you haven't listened to a lecture like this. Ye Tao shrugged. He was certainly not referring to the lectures of this era.

Looking at Tan Weixin's skilled business skills and skillful skills and mastery of his subordinates in the management of the princess's mansion, the inner mansion and the local enterprises under the name of the inner mansion, Ye Tao has always been puzzled. What is the life of the self-proclaimed "unsuccessful" life that Wei Xin has always refused to reveal about the original world? She will never be an ordinary person with no knowledge of economics and finance, no management experience and no experience in business operations. The ability she showed was the kind of level that could turn the rain and clouds on the mall.

"I've heard it, group psychology and management psychology are still very familiar, especially the branch of group dynamics...... Well, it's almost the favorite school of all lecturers, because it's fun to talk about. It can also organize a variety of games. Tan Weixin glanced at the closed door when she said this, and she knew. Sisi and Qiao'er will not eavesdrop. But what they said was still a little sensitive.

Rudan said. There will be people who will come up to impeach me, presumably on charges similar to spreading heresy or something? Ye Tao asked with a smile, not nervous at all.

"No, it won't." Tan Weixin shook her head and said, "Father saw Chi Yun's performance in the morning. Say it in the council hall and you may be asked the right question. At this juncture, no one will make trouble without opening their eyes. ”

Asking the right is a high summoning specification. Generally speaking, the people who are summoned at the level of the lord are not those ministers who have put forward bills that will have a great impact, or some scholars, experts, and celebrities who have made great achievements or have great influence in various fields, and they are almost summoned to consult some questions. Although, compared to Ye Tao's age, it seems particularly incredible to ask the right question, but it is precisely because of this that everyone knows that Ye Tao must have a bright future. Counselors also cherish their official positions.

"Right?" Ye Tao himself was stunned.

"Yes, although what you said is different from the doctrines that everyone has heard and witnessed now, it is undeniable that you have brought these things to this era, which is enough to start a sect." Tan Weixin said nonchalantly.

Ye Tao scratched his head and said, "...... It's not what I thought. ”

"Hehe, what do you think will happen? Let you continue the lecture while having people keep impeaching you? Tan Weixin chuckled, "No." Quarreling is not good for the court, it is not good for you, it is not good for me. …… Besides, you didn't talk about "Thick Black Studies" or "The Theory of the Monarch", at best, it was more nerve-stirring, and you couldn't say heresy. ”

Tan Weixin rolled her eyes and said, "Your lecture is very cool, so I want to make do with it." Would you be interested in attending my lectures? I don't have the energy to give a lecture to so many people, so I'm going to make a small in-house lecture for no more than ten people. ”

Ye Tao asked with great interest, "What are you talking about?" ”

"Economics." Tan Weixin's eyes flickered.

Ye Tao's heart moved, and he seemed to be able to see Tan Weixin's black tail with sharp horns jumping and swaying. If this kind of thing can be explained as being familiar with history books and military books and then extracting and summarizing them, and it is nothing more than some unpleasant bulls, ghosts, snakes, and gods, then many aspects of the knowledge of economics can only be described as a flood of beasts.

Tan Weixin knew that her physical strength and energy were limited, so she always carefully controlled her steps, not allowing herself to do too many things that were too hard, and not letting her active attempts in this world might hinder her already fragile life. She doesn't do things that don't make sense.

"What's wrong?" Ye Tao asked solemnly.

"Do you still remember the 600,000 taels of silver you got from the old man of the Qi family and brought it to Danyang through the Zuo family?" Tan Weixin asked.

"Of course......" Ye Tao was stunned for a moment, and then asked: "Is it the exchange business?" ”

"It's more complicated. It is not a simple exchange business and remote settlement business, if so, just a simple ticket number can be solved. The problem is that right now, Yicheng is doing the Seven Seas Trading Company, and Danyang is doing the Kyushu Trading Company. I don't know how it happened, but someone raised the issue of credit settlement, and then proposed the establishment of an intermediary agency, for the time being, an internal institution open only to large merchants, and an institution that carried out a series of operations, including foreign exchange. They are ready to concentrate a batch of gold as a guarantee, and the gold bills will be circulated internally. In fact, it was a gold standard currency. Then, there was some discussion about this body...... Maybe it's a head. Tan Weixin said simply, "In fact, once this institution is operational, it will inevitably become a quasi-banking institution that will influence more and more people, and I think it would be better to let such an institution be on track from the beginning, if possible." If this institution sits large without control, whether the coupon has enough credit or loses credit one day, it will be a disaster. If it is very creditworthy, if this kind of gold coupon circulates to a certain extent, then the state will lose control over the national financial system, and the national currency will be affected in the future. And once one day loses credit, the relevant businesses will be greatly affected, those big families always have a way to avoid risks, but if it leads to the bankruptcy of a large number of small and medium-sized businesses, it is not conducive to stability and unity. You know, in this day and age, how shrewd and idealistic those businessmen are, I think a lot of people will surely find out how much power money really has. ”

Ye Tao nodded, although he didn't know much about finance, but for the function of money, for the credit system, a modern person has some awareness. Ye Tao immediately smiled and said, "Perhaps, in this era, you will be the mother of economics and the mother of banking in the future history books?" ”

Tan Weixin glanced at Ye Tao and said, "Yes, I have at least two great children." ”
