When people lose face, they can also adopt this tactic of "watching the fire from the other side and braking with static" and watch the incident with a detached mentality. When someone tries to disgrace you, you can ignore them and let them perform to their heart's content, and finally use your own calmness to restrain the opponent's restlessness.

When Rockefeller, the American oil magnate, was young, he encountered such an incident. One day, he was busy working in his office, when suddenly a man broke into his office angrily, walked straight to his desk, slapped the desk hard, and said loudly: "Mr. Rockefeller, I want to ask you, why did you dismiss me casually, if you don't understand today, I will die in front of your eyes." ”

The man's shouts were heard very clearly by the staff working around Rockefeller's office. Everyone thought that Rockefeller would be furious this time, either throwing the inkwell over or asking the guard to drive him away. However, unexpectedly, Rockefeller did not do this, he looked at the angry man benevolently and listened patiently to the man's speech.

The man has worked in Rockefeller's company for many years, and he knows his boss's temperament and temperament, and this time he mainly wants to provoke his boss to get angry, fight with him, and relieve the anger in his heart.

But Rockefeller remained silent.

The man slapped the table again, and Rockefeller simply crossed his hands, turned his body slightly, and turned his face out the window. After a while, he picked up the pen and went about his work. The man didn't find it interesting, so he walked away.

Rockefeller's tactic with this man was to "watch the fire from the other side", and he never said a word, but only watched the man lose his temper, which made the man feel bored and left. If Rockefeller explained to him, it was likely that the more he explained, the more troublesome it became, and if Rockefeller asked people to kick him out, he might not be convinced, and he might come back to him in the future. The use of the "static braking" tactic can not only let him dissipate his own anger, but also show his own self-cultivation, which is a good strategy. As it turned out, Rockefeller's strategy of "static braking" was correct. When dealing with interpersonal relationships, we often adopt a cold treatment method of "watching the fire from the other side", and sometimes we can also get unexpected results.

The gentle method of use of this plan is to take the chestnut from the fire; The method of using Rush is to fan the flames and take advantage of the situation when the opponent's fire is blazing and smoke is rising from all directions. Western financial conglomerates often use this method when merging industrial consortia. Similarly, industrial consortia will use this method to counter mergers by financial consortia.
