The so-called "breaking the plan" is to crack the other party's strategy. In the previous section, we talked about the starting point of the three social strata, and in this section we will discuss the starting point of the three strata of society.

The top society draws salaries from the bottom of the kettle.

The starting point of the high-level society to crack the other party's strategy is still "people", because all strategies are set by people, so as long as the person who formulates the strategy is replaced, the problem can be fundamentally solved. The case in this section is still "Jiang Gan stealing books", but the protagonist is changed from Jiang Gan to Zhou Yu.

The specific case of "Jiang Gan's book theft" has already been discussed in the previous section, so I will not repeat it, we will only do an analysis of the case. We know that the Battle of Chibi was fought on the water, and Zhou Yu knew that Cao Cao's naval governors Cai Mao and Zhang Yun had led the naval army for many years, and they had very much experience in leading the naval army, and Zhou Yu's cleverness was that he was not thinking about how to confront Cai Mao and Zhang Yun on the river, but trying to find a way to kill them within the enemy, which is exactly the thinking of the high-level society, and only by solving the problem of "people" can the fundamental problem be solved. And to solve people, you have to understand people, so Zhou Yu understood Cai Mao and Zhang Yun and Cao Cao's several characteristics: First, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are Cao Cao's generals, and they have just surrendered, they and Cao Cao have not had many years of running-in, and they don't know each other. Second, Cai Mao and Zhang Yun are both traitors seeking glory, and they took refuge in Cao Cao completely for promotion and wealth, and this kind of person has no loyalty at all. Third, Cao Cao was suspicious, especially very distrustful of the traitor seeking glory, but only Cai Mao and Zhang Yun knew how to train the navy in Cao Cao's army, so Cao Cao had to use these two people temporarily. Zhou Yu mastered these three points, so Cao Cao's counter-plot was very successful, after Jiang Gan took Zhou Yu's forged letter to Cao Cao, Cao Cao really fell into the plan, and beheaded Cai Mao and Zhang Yun without thinking.

Let's take a look at how Zhou Yu implemented his strategy through these three points: First, it was precisely because Cai Mao and Zhang Yun were surrendered generals and had just surrendered not long ago, so they did not form a tacit understanding with Cao Cao, so when it was mentioned that they were going to rebel, Cao Cao was convinced. Second, Cao Cao hates the people who sell the lord for glory the most, but these two people have to use them, so they must be wary and authorized. So these two people can make Cao Cao nervous, so much so that when the two of them are mentioned, Cao Cao has a headache. 3. Cao Cao is suspicious by nature, and there is an idiom called "suspicious neighbor stealing axe", when you suspect that someone else is a thief, no matter how you look at him, he looks like a thief. When Cao Cao suspected that the two of them were going to rebel at any time, no matter how you look at it, you feel that they have two hearts. And Cao Cao was tortured by these two people for a long time, and when he saw Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's surrender, he touched his long-standing and very sensitive nerves, so he could kill the second general without thinking. And Zhou Yu grasped this characteristic of Cao Cao, so that he could disintegrate the enemy from the inside, so as to give Cao Cao's army a salary without spending a single soldier, which is the wisdom of the high-level society. That's why there is a saying in my "Theory of Vertical and Horizontal": Strong and strong, both become the target of the public. Retreat, you can take advantage of the fisherman.

The middle class of society is quiet about things.

The disadvantage of the middle class is that it only wants to solve the problem itself, and does not consider the person who created the problem, so it cannot solve the problem fundamentally, so the middle class will never have a problem that cannot be solved, because it never occurred to replace the person who created the problem. If Zhou Yu did this according to the thinking of the middle class, he would not fight Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's idea, but find a way to break through Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's military formation, so that Cai Mao and Zhang Yun would continue to improve their combat level through the battle with Zhou Yu, so as to change their tricks with Zhou Yu

Zhou Yu became Cai Mao and Zhang Yun's free coach. It looks like it's going to be a lot of fun, but it's not solving the problem at all, it's creating it. Therefore, there is a saying in Lao Tzu's "Tao Te Ching": "The elephant is invisible", and the real master will often control the enemy first, draw salary from the bottom of the kettle, and put the other party to death invisibly, and ordinary people can't understand it at all. And the people who fight very lively, probably people who don't have much kung fu, and the more such people cheer, the more cheers and cheers, this is a problem we should think about.

Therefore, the high-level society often makes the other party's attack invisible; And the middle-class society will often turn things upside down, very lively, and the onlookers who don't know the truth will applaud the middle-class society one after another! Many laymen, especially the grassroots society, can't see the doorway, and think that the middle-class society is very good at it. If you're the boss and use a few more of these treasures, you'll be busy.

Let me give you a case: Xiao He, who self-destructed his reputation.

In the twelfth year of Gaozu of the Han Dynasty, Tubu rebelled against the Han Dynasty, and Liu Bang personally led the troops to conscript. But Liu Bang was on the front line, but he was deeply afraid of Xiao He's rebellion. At this time, Xiao He was already a very popular minister, and his honor was incomprehensible, Liu Bang went on the expedition, he was even more educated the people, encouraged farming, and sent his own money and grain to the army in front. When Liu Bang heard this, he thought that Xiao He wanted to make a high contribution, and he became suspicious of Xiao He. Fortunately, Xiao He noticed this incident early, and destroyed his reputation in order to protect himself: Xiao He forcibly bought the people's land and forced the people to sell it at a low price. This trick really worked, after Liu Bang destroyed the cloth, when the class teacher returned to the court, many people blocked the road and shouted grievances, suing Xiao He, so Liu Bang reprimanded Xiao He on the surface, but in his heart he no longer suspected that Xiao He had the motive to rebel. And Xiao He relied on this strategy of "calming people with things" to eliminate Liu Bang's misunderstanding of him, so in that "cunning rabbit dies, lackeys cook." The birds are all gone, and the good bow is hidden. Xiao He was one of the few founding heroes who could get a good death.

The above cases show that Liu Bang's thinking belongs to the middle society, while Xiao He's thinking belongs to the high society. Liu Bang lacks a deeper understanding of people, so he suspects people because of things. Therefore, people in the middle society will never be able to understand the high-level society, Liu Bang is fighting the world for himself, so he cares about his status very much; And Xiao He is seeking peace for the people of the world, so he doesn't care about his status. The emperor is good, but not everyone wants to be the emperor. Liu Bang judged people by things because he couldn't see through this, so he judged Xiao He very biasedly. And Xiao He looks at the people around him from the height of values, so Xiao He can see the people around him very thoroughly, including Liu Bang. And Xiao He knew that Liu Bang would judge people by things, so Xiao He used the strategy of "calming people with things" as the starting point, and deliberately did "things" that destroyed his reputation, so as to relieve Liu Bang's suspicion of himself.

The middle class will never understand a truth: when a person is not an emperor, the whole world is his, because he can raft on the five lakes, play everywhere, and enjoy the beautiful rivers and mountains. But once a person becomes the emperor, he will be very constrained, because he has to worry every day that this person usurps the throne, that person seeks power, and there is little time to play. Some people may say: "The emperor can also pay a private visit!" "That's because you have watched too many TV series, and the emperor does not dare to leave the palace at every turn, because if he leaves for too long, a palace coup d'état breaks out in the backyard, and he doesn't want to come back. Therefore, the emperor is definitely not as chic as we think, as the saying goes: "If you are not in your position, you will not seek your own government." ”

So there are some things that the upper echelons of society can never say

For the middle class, because the pattern of the middle class society is not enough, they can't understand it at all, but they will cause misunderstandings. Xiao He wanted to say directly to Liu Bang: "I am not interested in the throne at all, I help you fight the world in order to stop the war with war, seek peace for the people of the world, and realize the value of my life." You think it's your business that the throne is good! I don't want to give it to me, I still want to save some snacks! "Can I say this kind of thing to Liu Bang? What Liu Bang doesn't understand at all is not that Liu Bang is not smart, but that Liu Bang's pattern is not enough. Therefore, Xiao He can only follow the rules of the game in the middle-class society and adopt the strategy of "calming people with things" to tell Liu Bang: I, Xiao He, don't want to be the emperor at all, and it is superfluous for you to worry about my Xiao Hegong's high mastery.

Therefore, the middle-class society needs to improve its own pattern and level, otherwise even if it is the emperor, it will be ignorant, but then again, if the thinking of the middle-class society really reaches the high-level society, maybe it will be disdainful of being the emperor, even if it is the emperor, it will be easier to be, at least be able to distinguish the loyal traitor. In fact, this case is also an inspiration for corporate CEOs, there was only one emperor in ancient times, so he could do whatever he wanted. However, there are many enterprises nowadays, and if they are not well managed, they will be eliminated by the market, so I advise those who are the presidents of enterprises, if you have that pattern, sit in that position, and if not, let people take care of it. If today's enterprises want to survive for a long time, either the people of the high-level society will personally lead, or there will be people from the high-level society as staff, and the middle-level society will not be able to bring the enterprise for a long time, otherwise a strategy of competitors will come, you will not be able to start, and the enterprise will suffer.

Grassroots society has taken advantage of the situation.

In fact, "taking advantage of the situation" is to wait for the opponent's mistake to win your own victory. There are two kinds of games in this world that rely on this method to win, one is the "high and high exchanges" of the high-level society, and the other is the "low-to-low exchanges" of the grassroots society. Gao Lai Gao is that both of them are top masters, no one can find each other's flaws, and no one can hide from anyone in the general trend of the world, so they can only wait for each other's flaws, such as Zhuge Liang and Sima Yi are such a confrontation, in the end, both sides have nothing to do, Sima Yi closed the door and truce, and this battle finally ended with Zhuge Liang dying of exhaustion in Wuzhangyuan. However, because the game between grassroots societies has limited knowledge of each other, no one dares to make easy moves, and the only way to win is to rely on the mistakes of the opponent. If we look at those who play Go, we know that a master plays Go and loses all the games if he makes a mistake; Although the grassroots society is messy, the grassroots society has the logic of the grassroots society, and if you make a mistake, you will lose everything. When we look at the fund craze a while ago, we know that as soon as we see that the fund can make money, many people in the grassroots society flock in, thinking that they have got a big loophole and how much cheapness they have gained. But after some time, the speculation fund also began to lose money, and many people were trapped because they were too greedy, so they would seriously look at the bank's two lines of words: "The fund is risky, and you need to be cautious when entering the market." "Only then did I know that there are not so many holes in the world to exploit.

In fact, being able to confront each other is also a good habit of the grassroots society, and I am afraid that once the grassroots society thinks that they have seized the opportunity, they will plunge into it and leave no way for themselves to live. Wealth does not change the fate of grassroots society, but poverty really makes people unable to survive, and grassroots society often gambles on their own living conditions in order to earn wealth, and is often insatiable, which is very dangerous. Because the grassroots society will not understand whether the other party's "virtuality" is really a loophole to exploit, or the other party's "false shot", I advise the grassroots that if you want to engage in strategy, you should work hard to study it, and if you are too lazy to work hard, you should keep your little savings, and don't be whimsical all day long, because you can't afford to lose at all.
