"Taking advantage of the fire to rob" is a common strategy in the military selection of fighter planes, which refers to taking advantage of the enemy's danger to launch an attack and win victory. The so-called "the enemy is in a stupor, and you can take advantage of it" also means this. In the business war, the strategy of "robbing while the fire is hot" can be extended as: First, we must be good at finding the source of "fire". The business field, like the battlefield, is fiercely competitive and the situation is complex. Business operators should have a wide understanding of market information and accurately grasp the advantages and disadvantages of competitors' products and market sales conditions. Aim at the source of "fire", grasp the weaknesses of the other party and the new needs of the consumer market. Vigorously carry out promotional activities to occupy the market.

Second, it is necessary to seize the fighter plane to "rob." The business world is changing, and many of the original advantages are lost in the change, and at the same time, it will provide opportunities for new development. Therefore, operators should look at the source of the "fire", analyze the "fire" situation, seize the fighter plane, and take the lead.
