Doing business and making friends go hand in hand, and the most important thing is to burn the cold stove, not to be attentive and stinky feet.

Why didn't Cao Cao get Guan Yu? It's just that the timing is not right.

If Cao Cao could bow to Guan Yu before Wenjiu killed Huaxiong, the direction of the Three Kingdoms may not necessarily be what is described in the book.

At that time, Guan Yu was still a nobody, if the two of them really swore goodbye, then there was a high probability that there would be nothing to do with Liu Bei later.

That is to say, when a person is proud, he is a raging fire, and at this time he is full of people who line up to slap him. You say, if you add another fire at this time, do people still need this fire?

No, the most important thing is that when a person is down, the person at this time is like a basin of cold water. If someone can go and add some firewood to him at this time, that is the real warmth.

This is the importance of burning a cold stove, and it is also the essence of doing business and making friends.

During the Three Kingdoms period, the relationship between Cao Cao and Guan Yu was always delicate. Cao Cao has always expressed very, very, very appreciation for Guan Yu's martial arts and loyalty, but he has never been able to win Guan Yu's heart.

The reason is that Cao Cao was always close to Guan Yu when he was in the limelight, and did not give him support and help when he was down. If Cao Cao could worship Guan Yu before he came to prominence, then the history of the Three Kingdoms might be completely different. At that time, Guan Yu was still a little-known person, if Cao Cao could worship him at this time, then with the rise of Guan Yu's force value, Cao Cao's power might be more stable.

Of course, history cannot be changed, but this truth is worth pondering. In our lives, we also meet all kinds of people, some people are surrounded by many people when they are proud, and some people are uncared for when they are down. If we can support and help others when they are down, then there will be people who will help us when we are proud.

Therefore, the importance of burning a cold stove is not only to invest in the future, but also to reflect the real emotions between people. If we can lend a helping hand when someone else needs help, then others will also lend a helping hand when we need it. That's how business and making friends go hand in hand.

If you are in a hurry to offer hospitality, people may not appreciate it, so they will not return you anything, and you will not be able to do this well, on the contrary, you must always pay attention to those cold stoves, pay attention to those who are not willing, and you will get ten times or even a hundred times the return. Because, it was you who helped him burn out the hot air.

The same is true in business. Many people only focus on those who are already successful and hope to build a relationship with them, but often these businessmen already have their own circle and will not accept new people easily. And those businessmen who are working hard to develop may have more opportunities to become your partners, and they will be more grateful and cherish your help.

Therefore, keep this principle in mind: burn the stove cold, not the dedication and the stinky feet.

It is more valuable to reach out when someone is in need than to praise someone else when they are successful. At the same time, you must also know how to cherish those who still pay attention to and support you when you are not working, they are your most valuable treasure.
