"Roundabout" is the meaning of roundabout, and "straight" is to go straight to the end. It means that when leading troops to attack, do not rush to meet in short arms, and advance in a roundabout way, but can quickly reach the destination. If you want to hurry, you can't reach it, that is the truth. This is the essence of the plan of "encircling Wei to save Zhao". So, how to use the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" in life? For example:

In interpersonal communication, we can't praise others all the time, say what others like to hear all the time, because others can't always be right, and we can't do without the principle of doing things, when we find that others have mistakes, we should point out their mistakes, criticize their mistakes, and make them correct.

However, criticizing others is not an easy thing to do, and there are two reasons for this: for critics, criticizing others often makes others unhappy, and even makes them feel resentful of themselves, and some people are reluctant to criticize others in order to avoid others resenting themselves. Sometimes, others do not accept their own criticism, or even quarrel with themselves, which can also make themselves lose face, so this also leads some people to be reluctant to criticize others.

For the criticized, it is not a pleasant thing to be criticized and trained, because accepting criticism often means that they have done something wrong, and others criticizing themselves means making their mistakes public, which will greatly lose their face, and the criticism of others will not make the face of the criticized person bright, so ordinary people do not welcome criticism from others.

Since criticizing others is a difficult thing to do, is there any way to make it easier? Even if the critic is embarrassed to point out the mistakes of others, how can the criticized be willing to accept the criticism of others?

There is a way, that is, when criticizing others, we should be tactful, and tactfully criticizing others can save the face of the critic, will not embarrass the critic, and make them unconsciously realize their mistakes, so as to change their past mistakes. At the same time, because tactful criticism will not lead to fierce confrontation among the critics, it will not offend the critics.

Relationships are sometimes the same, and friendships that have been fissioned take time to heal.

When engaged in work or negotiations, if there is a disagreement, they will speak ill of each other and expose each other's scars, which will make things run into trouble and difficult to achieve results. At this time, you should calm yourself down, probe from the side, and try to create a new opportunity to get closer.

The above statement, in turn, can be applied to relationships. The most important thing in getting along with others is not to have a head-on conflict, if you put on a position everywhere that you can't tolerate people, and you don't want to let go of a little mistake of others, as the days go by, the grudge will be deep.

In particular, it is necessary to avoid talking about right and wrong in front of others, or secretly hurting others when gathering with friends in pairs and threes, and criticizing the other party in a proper manner. Even if the heart is happy, arrogant, and triumphant for a while, if the words accidentally reach the ears of the other party, it is you who will be embarrassed at that time.

If you really can't agree, you can create a step for the other party without damaging the other party's face, and then put forward your own ideas tactfully, which can often achieve better results.

Part of the reason why people often fail in interpersonal relationships comes from the fact that they promise things easily, promise without thinking deeply beforehand, and deny the promise afterwards, which naturally loses people's hearts and minds, let alone the admiration of subordinates. Therefore, if you want to be a smart person, you should be cautious in what you say so as not to give a bad impression. Therefore, the method of dealing with interpersonal relations is an important means, and it is completely necessary to take a detour and "encircle Wei to save Zhao" at the appropriate time.

In economic activities, competitors are strong and weak in terms of technical level, product quality, reputation and popularity, and economic strength. Enterprises with low technological level and weak economic strength will most likely lose out of ten if they compete with strong enterprises. The core of the strategy of "encircling Wei to save Zhao" lies in "avoiding the real and attacking the false". The key to the use of this strategy by business operators is to avoid strong competitors, not to have a head-to-head confrontation with them, but to attack from the side or take a detour to forge ahead, seize the opportunity, and take advantage of the situation. For example, on the basis of a thorough investigation, it is necessary to carefully analyze the reality of the commodity market. Which product markets are saturated, which products are lacking in the market, which products are unsalable, and which products sell well. According to these circumstances, predict market demand trends, develop new products, exploit gaps, and take unpopular opportunities.

In marketing, the commodity market is so large that there is always a gap to take advantage of. In the process of product promotion, operators should be good at facing reality and go to the market to find a small gap. When selling a certain product, if the market in a certain place is saturated, or there is a slow sale, it is necessary to look for a market in other places.
