1. The Favor-Granting Edict: Simply put, if you want to deal with someone, give the benefits that should belong to him to those around him. Over time, he and his close ones will fight among themselves, and in the end, you reap the benefits. 2. The Two Peaches Kill Three Warriors: Dealing with three people at once? Offer benefits that are only enough for two to share. Over time, they will fight over the interests, and finally, they will fall apart themselves. 3. Killing with the Heart: First give him some hardship, let him stumble a little, then offer him convenience, and finally teach him "to be grateful." This is a soft but deadly tactic. 4. Distant Allies, Close Attacks: Want to divide a team? First pull in those with weak willpower, give them some benefits; leave the tough ones alone, let them see others getting benefits, and they will gradually become impatient. 5. Sunk Cost Psychology: The more someone invests, the harder it is for them to withdraw. That’s the power of sunk costs. Want others to be dependent on you? First, make them spend more effort and energy on you; the more they invest, the less willing they are to leave. 6. Small Tricks to Win People Over: Want to get close to someone? First ask for a small favor, then invite them for a meal or give a small gift. Over time, the relationship will warm up. 7. The Law of Silence: When faced with pointless arguing or unworthy people, the best move is to keep quiet—ignore them. It’s more satisfying and more effective than arguing with them. 8. Small Details to Read People: Want to understand a man? Let him drive the car and see; want to understand a woman? Take her swimming and observe. 9. Tips to Make the Opposite Sex Like You: Like someone, don’t rush to "flatter." Keep some mystery and stay calm; they will become curious about you. Being too humble can backfire and cause dislike. 10. The Soft Spot of Human Nature: People can’t resist being "treated well." If you take the initiative to be kind to them often enough, they will probably feel "embarrassed" and respond to you. This is a good way to build connections. 11. Hidden Networks in the Workplace: Don’t overlook people around the leader (like the driver); they are the leader’s "eyes" and often help gather information. Their words can sometimes be more effective than your explanations (and can also be more "piercing")). 12. The Power of Compliments: As the old saying goes, "A woman dresses up for those who please her, a soldier fights for his confidant." Compliment people often and speak kindly; others will see you as someone who "understands them." 13. Business at Drinking Parties: Don’t discuss business directly at the table. When drinks flow and the mood is good, business naturally follows. Otherwise, people won’t open up and toast with you. 14. Details to Close the Gap: Insecure people long for attention. Show a little more care and warmth, and they will remember it for a long time and trust you more. 15. Leveraging Opportunities: When your strength isn’t enough, don’t force it. Follow powerful people and borrow their resources/platforms; this can save you many detours and help you succeed faster. 16. The Wisdom of Leaving Space: Don’t be too absolute when speaking or acting; leave some room for maneuver. It gives the other person a way out and also leaves you an escape route. Being too rigid can trap yourself. 17. Using Retreat to Advance: When faced with tough obstacles or deadlocks, take the initiative to step back and act soft. When the other party relaxes their guard, seize their loopholes and strike, making success more likely. $BGTESTME $AVNT $ZKC
