Virtue is far-sighted, faithfulness is different enough, righteousness is popular, lessons from the past are enough, photos are clear enough, and this person is handsome; Behavior is full of appearance, wisdom is full of doubt, faith can keep promises, sincerity can divide wealth, and this person is also proud; He keeps his post, does justice, and is cautious when he sees doubts and benefits. This person is also outstanding.
Noble character can convince people; Honest and credible, able to unify different political views; Putting righteousness first can serve the public; Outstanding people can distinguish gains and losses in history; Wise and wise, can clearly analyze current events, such a person can be called "a hero among people."
Behavior can be a model, wisdom can solve problems, and ethics can keep contracts; Honest and clean can manage money, such a person can be called "the pride of the people."
Do your duty and do nothing; Abide by faith and never change; Despite my doubts, I can still turn my back; When the word is profitable, you can still forget the meaning. Such people can be called "outstanding people".
Su Shu divided the rulers into three grades, namely "handsome", "noble" and "sage". Among them, "Beautiful Man" shows the world with the faces of virtue, faith, righteousness, talent and wisdom; "People's Pride" takes the image of action, wisdom, loyalty and honesty as a model for the world; "Outstanding people" take the discretion of guarding posts, doing things fairly, seeing doubts and seeing benefits as the benchmark of the world.
Of course, no one is perfect, and those who can conquer the world are not necessarily saints, so don't think that these rulers are all what they seem, knowing and doing. "Su Shu" actually means asking the ruler to maintain such an image in front of his people, so as to stabilize the country. Huang Shigong said this because he knew that human nature has a blind obedience. Everyone does what they say and no longer questions the truth of what they say. Everyone does what they have to do.
The king can use a little skill to make himself a wise SHEN WOO and love his people as much as his son. When people spread the news, they will naturally follow suit. Of course, it is not so easy to be a "handsome man", "noble man" or even "outstanding man". As kings, they can't do whatever they want. They have to make sacrifices in exchange for the great interests of stabilizing the country. What is meager profit? For example, we often see in TV series that our beloved princess married Attila in the frontier to stabilize the peace in the frontier; For example, if you marry the wife of Chao Li, you will exchange interests and rely on your power. This is the art of kings. Since ancient times, it has been said that kings are ruthless, but it is actually a balance of interests.
So, is the second chapter of Su Shu just for the king? Actually, it is not. During the turmoil at the end of Qin dynasty, it was a book for Wang. But now it can be used in many fields. In fact, it is also a knowledge of interpersonal relationships. Who can achieve the integration of Tao, virtue, benevolence, righteousness and propriety, who can achieve mastery through a comprehensive study.
What I want to talk about today is the application of Su Shu in business.
In fact, from ancient times to the present, politics and business are interrelated in a sense. All-powerful figures in politics, if they go into business, their wealth is also readily available, and their financial resources are rolling in. Because they all know the secret. To put it bluntly, although politicians and businessmen have different audiences, they are essentially an understanding and capture of human nature, regardless of things or people.
Being an official, with high moral character, honesty and credibility, deep understanding of righteousness, fairness and decency, abiding by faith and forgetting righteousness before interests, will win the support of the people and the trust of the king.
For business, it can also be used as a business criterion. As long as you look far away and consider the starting point from the audience's point of view, it will naturally be full of pots. I am also in business, and I feel deeply and benefit a lot.
Not to mention individuals, after all, they are a minority and it is difficult to convince the public. Here are some stories of famous people, which may make you more convinced.
"Handsome man"-Tao Zhugong is Fan Li, a great statesman, strategist and economist in the Spring and Autumn Period. When the State of Yue was destroyed by the State of Wu, it was he who put forward the plan for the restoration of the State of Wu, and accompanied Gou Jian, the king of Yue, to be a slave in the State of Wu, and tried every means to get Gou Jian back to China, becoming the first counselor to help Gou Jian destroy Wu, and worshiping the general. However, when Gou Jian returned to China, he realized that Gou Jian was a man who could share weal and woe, but could not share weal and woe, so he quickly retreated and resolutely abandoned his official position, which was the originator of abandoning politics and going into business in history and a model of creating personal wealth records. "Historical Records" contains "three gold medals after nineteen years, rich and huge." But he is generous in helping people in need. When he makes money, he engages in various public welfare undertakings. His behavior earned him the reputation of "being as rich as an enemy and doing his best" and became a model of China's commerce for thousands of years.
"The nobility of man"-Duanmu Ci, the word Zigong, is Confucius' favorite pupil and is regarded as the originator of Confucian businessmen. Among the ten philosophers of Confucius, he is famous for his eloquence. At the same time, he is smart, cautious and good at doing business. He used to do business between Cao and Lu and accumulated wealth and even money. He is one of the few business wizards and rich men among Confucius' disciples.
It is said that he once traveled around the world at his own expense in high-powered chariots and horses, saying that he conquered Qi, Lu, Yue and Wu, which was quite resourceful. Confucius traveled to the east, and all the money he spent was paid by Zi Gong. Confucius once called it "the instrument of Hu Lian" (the ritual instrument of Jixia in the ancient ancestral temple, which is often used as a metaphor for people who have the ability to establish a dynasty and rule). The "Duanmu Legacy" spread by later generations refers to the honest business atmosphere left by Zigong, that is, "a gentleman loves money and takes it wisely."
Lv Buwei was a famous businessman, politician and thinker at the end of the Warring States Period. A businessman who handles political affairs. There is a saying in history that "a peddler is cheap and a family is expensive", but the most proud event in his life is that he got to know the exiled son of Qin, won an alien, and funded him to return to China to reign, thus successfully realizing the historic transformation from business to politics. He is famous for "rare goods can live in the world". He assisted Qin Shihuang to ascend to the throne and served as the prime minister of Qin, organized the people to compile the famous Lv Chunqiu, and was also a representative figure of sage thought.
Bai Gui, the first person who regarded business as learning. Founder of the earliest enterprise financial management theory in the Eastern Zhou Dynasty. He is a minister under Wei Huiwang, and he is good at building dams and water conservancy projects. Li Kui, a famous figure, also asked him for the secret of getting rich.
Bai Gui does business very quickly and won't miss the opportunity. He summed up his business theory as four words: wisdom, courage, benevolence and strength, and attached importance to and learned from the financial management thoughts of "people abandon me and take me, and people take me and keep me" and "keeping ahead and retreating". China ancient merchants regarded him as the "ancestor of Shang Dynasty". In the fourth year of Song Jingde (1007), Zhenzong named it "Shang Sheng".
It can be said that a man who sees through human nature politically and is like a duck to water must have a business mind; A successful businessman is sure to get involved in politics and talk about it. No matter in the past or now, there are many well-known entrepreneurs in the CPPCC National Committee. They may not have read Su Shu, but they all know the philosophy of life and are all masters of Chinese studies.
Sean, read Su Shu and realize Zuo Jun's way of governing the country.
