The great Russian writer Fyodor Dostoevsky wrote a lot about love in many of his works, but when he himself encountered emotional turmoil, he was helpless. The clerk Anna Grigorevna was a beautiful and dignified girl, and Dostoevsky in his forties gradually fell in love with her, but the writer at this time was not only poor, infirm, but also in debt, and if he was reckless, he said bluntly: "I love you, Anna!" Once rejected, he was embarrassed, and he might offend Anna, and since then he has lost a right-hand man, so he painstakingly devises a way to propose.

One morning, Dostoevsky waited for Anna to come in from outside, and said to her: "Last night I conceived a love novel, but I can't figure out the ending, and I would like to ask you to help me come up with an idea." As soon as Anna heard that the writer had a new novel, she was of course very happy, and hurriedly asked the writer to tell him. Dostoevsky stared at Anna and said: "The protagonist is a male artist, forty-five years old, with a lot of debt...... At a decisive stage in his life he met a girl like you, also named Anna...... "The more the writer talks, the more like himself," but the artist is old and in debt, and he does not know if he will be able to win the love of this young girl...... So the ending hasn't been dealt with yet, because, I can't figure out the psychology of this girl, so I have to ask for your opinion. ”

The more Anna listened, the more she understood the writer's intentions, and she said, "If I were that girl, I would accept the artist's courtship." ”

Dostoevsky was thrilled to hear Anna's answer, and said eagerly: "What if...... If I were that artist. ”

Dostosvsky won the love of his beloved Anna Grigorevna, and since then, he has been thriving in his career.

Courtship is a mysterious and romantic emotional movement. Seeing the truth in the twists and turns, showing wisdom in the ingenuity, the prelude to the colorful emotional world was thus opened.

Here the writer used the technique of "closing the door to catch love", and it happened that he closed the door at the right time and obtained Anna's love.

The door is closed, and the "thief" has nowhere to escape. In modern business warfare and entrepreneurship, it can be extended to enclose competitors or consumers in their well-designed "pockets", and weaken or attract them through a series of business strategies and the implementation of business methods, so that they have no other way to go, so as to achieve their own goal of winning.

The reason why the "thief" must "close the door" is to cut off its retreat and surround it on all sides so that it does not slip through the net and win in one fell swoop. Business managers can use this timing to try to surround weak competitors and easy customers to win over them.

When competing for the market with peer manufacturers, operators should take more measures to strengthen advertising and publicity, or provide comprehensive, complete, and high-quality and systematic services, so that opponents can withdraw from market competition, or make the various needs of customers be fully satisfied in the enterprise, so as to control the market and prevent money from flowing out. This is also the clever use of the strategy of "closing the door and catching thieves" in business.
