Methods of negotiation between the three social strata.
The negotiation here is not necessarily a negotiation that does not have to sit at the negotiating table, but a conversation between the three social classes in order to defend their own purposes. The ways and methods of negotiation between the three social classes are different, and they are listed below.
Grassroots society relies on volume negotiations.
People at the grassroots level often don't make much sense, but they have to defend their own interests, so they can only negotiate with their voices. This method is relatively primitive, a bit like the duel of animals in the animal world, whoever roars louder will have strength, and whoever has more developed muscles will have confidence. Grassroots social negotiations often deviate from the content of the negotiation and carry out personal attacks, so vulgar words are endless, that is, "running with genitals in the mouth". There is a saying in the grassroots society: "Those who are afraid of the horizontal, and those who are afraid of the horizontal are not dead." They enshrine a saying as the truth: "When two armies meet, the brave wins." "Fighting fiercely is the only law for grassroots society to resolve contradictions, and it is also the only way for grassroots society to distribute interests. So we saw two people arguing fiercely, and it was very similar to scolding the street, which was probably the negotiation of the grassroots society.
The middle class of society negotiates by force.
Before the middle-level society negotiates, you must wear a famous brand, drive a famous car, and if possible, ask a few friends of great social status to accompany you. Everything they do is for the sake of "building momentum". They don't want to fight hard like the grassroots society, because there is only one life, and after the fight, it will be gone, but they will use all their financial resources and social connections to show their strength, which is a bit like the duel of the cobra in the animal world, always puffing up the air bag before the duel to appear that they are big. Middle-level social negotiators will talk about their own company strength, will talk about their social background, will talk about their interpersonal relationships, and in the end the party with greater power will win greater benefits, but they will not attack each other in the end, because they all know the truth of "hurting a thousand enemies and losing 800 themselves", so things still have to transition smoothly in the end.
High-level society relies on inferential negotiations.
High-level social negotiations do not need to be loud or bluffing. They will analyze the stakes thoroughly and get the other party to sign the deal. Here I will give an example: the negotiations between Zhuge Liangdong and Sun Quan. During the Three Kingdoms period, Cao Cao led a large army to launch the Battle of Chibi, pointing directly at Liu Bei and Sun Quan, Zhuge Liang, as the representative of Liu Bei's group, wanted to go east and Sun Quan to achieve the goal of rejecting Cao Cao in the north, but when Zhuge Liang united Sun Quan, Liu Bei's group was still very weak, and Zhuge Liang had no strength to show Sun Quan at all. But Zhuge Liang told Sun Quan in the way of inference that if Cao Cao killed Liu Bei, it would pose a threat to Sun Quan, and at that time Cao Cao's geographical advantage was absolutely superior, and Sun Quan could only wait to be killed. This is exactly the way of high-level social negotiation, which will infer the outcome of the matter, and even the situation of the other party after its own demise, so that the other party can see the final result in order to achieve the purpose of cooperation. Negotiations at the grassroots level are very unstable, because everyone can fight fiercely, so internal disagreements often occur. The negotiation of the middle class society is also unstable, because the times are changing, and the difference in strength between the two sides is also changing, once the weak side becomes strong, the case will be overturned, and this is the case in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, so there is more than enough swords and soldiers, and it is turbulent, so there is a saying called "Spring and Autumn Unrighteous War." "And the negotiation of the high-level society is very solid, because the negotiation foundation of the high-level society is based on a common goal, everyone is interdependent and of one mind, so that there can be long-term development.
