In the third visit to the thatched cottage, Liu Bei invited Zhuge Liang out of the mountain three times. The story had been circulating. The people were no longer in the Jianghu, but the Jianghu had always had their legends.
In Jianghu legends, Liu Bei had always been portrayed as a good leader who thirsted for talents and treated them politely.
To visit the thatched cottage three times was to run a few more times. To be able to win trust with sincerity was indeed an old-fashioned method, but also a stupid method. Many big bosses might not care.
Some friends might ask, why didn't Liu Bei listen to his follower Zhang Fei and directly kidnapped Zhuge Liang? How convenient!
This would only be counterproductive. In fact, Liu Bei was very smart. He had a lot of ideas. Liu Bei was very good at being a person and was also very smart. Even if he visited the thatched cottage three times, he could not invite Zhuge Liang.
However, Liu Xuande's glorious and great image of being respectful to the virtuous and corporal would definitely be promoted. Even if he couldn't attract Zhuge Liang, he would attract the Golden Phoenix.
In other words, even if Zhuge Liang did not come out. That could only mean that you don't know the big picture and don't know what's good for you. It has nothing to do with me, Liu Xuande.
Was Zhuge Liang stupid?
No one in the world would believe that he had broken the heavens. Zhuge Liang had always been the embodiment of a wise man.
As a smart person, Zhuge Liang also understood this principle. He carefully figured out Liu Bei's thoughts and was moved by Liu Bei's sincerity. Therefore, the two of them exchanged glances and hit it off.
Liu Bei wasn't bored. Again and again, he wanted to invite Zhuge Liang just to win over the hearts of the people and also to gain a good reputation for being thirsty for talents.
With a good reputation, there would be people's hearts. A good reputation meant a good reputation!
Public praise was an indispensable element in marketing management. If he wanted to run his own business well, he had to have a good reputation!
After watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms, many people would think: After Zhuge Liang left the mountain, Liu Bei was like a fish in water. As long as Liu Bei gave Zhuge Liang full power and handed over all matters to him, especially the military command. Everything was okay. Moreover, Liu Bei was an open-minded boss who knew how to use people and was willing to give up power.
In fact, this was not the case. This was also a misunderstanding and misreading of history.
In the Records of the Three Kingdoms, it was clearly stated: The military command of Liu Bei's group had always been firmly in his hands, with Liu Bei taking the overall responsibility.
Zhuge Liang was mainly in charge of staff, administration, logistics, and diplomatic work.
It was only after Liu Bei's death that Zhuge Liang became the leader of the military.
During that period, there were several important battles such as " Burning Bowang Slope "," Bringing the people across the river to Jiangling "," Hanzhong Battle ", etc., all of which were personally commanded by Liu Bei. Liu Bei personally went to the front line and acted as the supreme commander.
According to the research, Zhuge Liang had yet to leave his mountain when the Battle of Burning Bowang Slope took place. Speaking of this, it might cause public discussion. There might be some controversy here, so he temporarily put the credit on the two of them. Long Jiuxiao believed that with Liu Bei's strategy alone, he would not be able to advance step by step and defeat his opponent completely! There must be someone helping him, and this person was most likely Zhuge Liang.
The Chronicles of the Three Kingdoms gave a concise and clear description of the Bowang Battle: Liu Bei's resistance to Xiahou Dun, Yu Jin and others in Bowang. After a long time, the First Lord set up an ambush. Once he burned his own camp and pretended to escape, Zhang Dun and others chased after him and were defeated by the ambush."
Although the description is short and concise, we can still clearly see that Liu Bei was commanding the battle. Liu Bei successfully used the strategy of showing weakness to lure the enemy, defeating Xiahou Dun and Yu Jin in Bowang. History seemed to reappear, and the scene was vivid in his mind.
The story of Liu Bei visiting Zhuge Liang's thatched cottage three times was a well-known story and had long become a good story in the world.
The story took place in the year 207 AD. At that time, Liu Bei was 47 years old and was close to the age of knowing his destiny. Zhuge Liang was only 27 years old at that time, which was the age of his youth. The age difference between the two was very large, a full 20 years.
Then how did the 47-year-old Liu Bei manage to recruit a young and promising military advisor? After all, Zhuge Liang was only 27 years old.
With doubts and thoughts, let's review the history of that time. Long Jiuxiao thought,"
First of all, Liu Bei knew how to use people well
As the head of the Liu Corporation, Liu Bei had his own shortcomings. His own business ability was not strong, but he was scheming. This was much worse than Boss Cao.
Compared to his two ancestors, Liu Bei's ability was not just a little bit inferior. He could only look up to his back and did not dare to look up to him. Brother Bang and Brother Xiu had both completed the great cause of unification and unified the country. The big-eared imperial uncle only occupied Jing Yi at the peak.
Liu Bei and Boss Cao were also very different. Boss Cao had successfully completed the merger, reorganization, and channel integration. Just like the integration of South Locomotives and North Locomotives, they had almost become the " God Car of China." After all, the northern nine provinces were the most developed and had the largest population. The company was strong and powerful!
However, Liu Bei was a person with ideas. He had many ideas and wanted to become a big company. Even if it was an IPO, he was fine with it. He was deeply aware of the importance of business planning and resourcefulness.
Secretary Liu knew better than anyone else: Liu Corporation wanted to achieve rapid development. He had to seize the market, expand his business, and expand his business scope. He had to hire a professional manager. Moreover, he was a professional manager with a low salary but strong working ability.
He didn't want to pay more, but he wanted to do the job well. He really wanted the horse to run, but he didn't let the horse eat grass. Liu Shouji's calculations were very precise.
As for this professional manager, he had to have the priority that Liu Bei and the people around him did not have:
He knew how to design a company's image and understood the boss's heart. He could not go against the boss. He had a strong strategic vision. His thinking determined the way out, and the pattern determined the outcome. This point could not be vague.
He also had to have a strong analytical ability. Strong motivation and willingness to apply for a job, good management skills, and work experience is preferred.
No wonder people said that Liu Bei was a villain and a fake gentleman.
Then, what method did Liu Bei use to recruit?
During the Three Kingdoms period, there were no newspapers, telephone, television, mobile phones, or the Internet. There was no way to post recruitment notices. Moreover, Boss Liu was poor and had no money, so he could not afford to advertise. Even if he posted two recruitment notices, he was afraid that Boss Cao would be suspicious, so the effect was not achieved. Boss Liu's recruitment channels and methods were very few.
Boss Liu's company had just been founded. It might be what we call a three-no-business (no capital, no market, no brand).
If the Liu Corporation relied on internal training too slowly, it would be too late; They had no money and could not find anyone by relying on external recruitment. What should he do?
For this reason, Boss Liu stomped his feet anxiously and kept spinning in circles!
Boss Liu was very smart and decided to take a different approach. His company's recruitment must have a very precise positioning, so Boss Liu thought of a thousand ways. Finally, he thought of a feasible method.
1. First, package yourself. In any era, packaging is very important!
After careful consideration, Boss Liu decided," Under the banner of Imperial Uncle Liu. This was a gold-lettered signboard that could fool people. It was as if he had a good reason. This way, he could make a three-nothing enterprise sound very orthodox. It was easy to get things done with an authentic bloodline, and it was extremely tempting for orthodox people.
It was just like how Cao Cao controlled the emperor to command the vassals and carried the emperor's flag, making it easy to do things. Whoever dared to disobey would be violating the will of the emperor. At that time, it was a great crime. If things went wrong, they might even implicate their entire family. Who was Tian Zi? A little brat who was still wet behind the ears. It was still a doll in Cao Cao's hands.
This was called having a good reason. In fact, he was pulling the tiger's skin to pull the flag. All the shameless people in history would do this. Oh!
In the chaotic times of the Three Kingdoms, one needed a decent signboard to achieve great things. It didn't matter if it was a golden signboard or a bronze signboard. As long as it could scare people, it was a good sign.
2. Seize the opportunity and take the initiative.
With a good reputation, he still had to take the initiative to attack. They couldn't just sit around and wait for the rabbit to come, especially for an entrepreneur like Old Liu. The reason why he was called Old Liu was that he had been working for decades and was already 47 years old. He was about to reach the age of knowing his destiny.
If a company without any talent took the initiative to come to them, who knew how long it would take? Therefore, Comrade Liu adopted the following method:
Friends recommended him, friends reposted him, and poached him to actively search for and recruit talents.
With face, he could do things. With pickaxes, he could poach people.
Face and pickaxe were Liu Bei's methods at that time, and they were also his weapons to win by surprise.
3. Plan a good public relations event, produce a public relations effect, and establish the employer's brand.
That was why Liu Bei had visited the thatched cottage three times. That was why Liu Bei had repeatedly " respected the wise and respected the corporal ". It was to gain a good reputation. It also showed that Liu Bei cherished talents, respected talents, and desired talents.
The peach blossoms were dazzling and mesmerizing. Why did Liu Bei choose Zhuge Liang at first glance?
1. It depends on your educational background. It's fine as long as it's enough.
Although Zhuge Liang's education environment wasn't as good as Liu Bei's and Cao Cao's, Long Jiuxiao's words might make his friends unwilling.
Then let's take a look:
Liu Bei's teacher was Lu Zhi (official to Shangshu), Cao Cao's teacher was Qiao Xuan (official to Taiwei, Taifu, famous Confucian in Luoyang), Xu Shao (famous character commentator), etc. They were either prominent officials or famous people. They were all figures in the upper structure.
Lu Zhi was both Liu Bei's teacher and Cao Cao's idol.
Lu Zhi had another student, Gongsun Zan, who later became a warlord in Youzhou.
Xu Shao once commented on Cao Cao: "You are a capable minister in a peaceful world, a hero in troubled times."”Shao
Compared to these high officials and celebrities, Zhuge Liang was definitely not at an advantage. Whether it was academic level or popularity, there was a certain gap.
Zhuge Liang's teacher was Sima Hui, and Mister Shui Jing was a very low-key person. He was just a great hermit in the late Eastern Han Dynasty. And it was a local one. In that era of competition, there was no advantage at all.
In addition, Pang De Gong and his father-in-law, Huang Chengyan, had also taught Zhuge Liang many things. They were also considered one of Zhuge Liang's teachers. However, he was only a local celebrity in Jingzhou.
There was no way to compare the local area to the central area. It was just like how Beijingers liked to call people from other regions local. He had a natural sense of superiority.
If Liu Bei and Cao Cao were famous graduates of the 985 University, Zhuge Liang could only be considered a second-tier university graduate, and he was even a local graduate. Even if you had the ability, you would feel that your diploma was not strong enough.
Therefore, in terms of education, Zhuge Liang did not have much of an advantage.
After hearing Long Jiuxiao's words, did everyone feel a little enlightened?
2. Looking at his background, not bad.
The Zhuge family was a prominent family in the Jing Xiang area. Zhuge Liang was not a commoner like what he had said. He often mingled with the upper class. He was a veritable second-generation official.
3. Judging from his temperament, he was quite handsome.
Chen Shou wrote very clearly in the "Zhu Ge Liang Collection":
When Zhuge Liang was young, he had the ability to escape from the crowd. He was eight feet tall and looked very handsome. People at that time were surprised.
Wei meant handsome and handsome, which fully explained Zhuge Liang's tall and handsome appearance.
But we have to pay special attention to this "what".
Chen Shou used the word "very" when he evaluated Zhuge Liang's appearance, which further proved that Zhuge Liang was very good-looking.
If translated into modern times, it was: Comrade Xiaozhu (the surname doesn't affect the name Xiaozhu. Anyway, it has evolved from the surname Zhu and Ge in the past) is extremely handsome! A typical gigolo. My friends and I were stunned.
If he didn't become a landlord, he would at least have his own land. Land was very valuable now. It was a good resource for developing scenic spots and real estate.
He had his own assistant, his page boy, and even his wife. This was the strength of a team.
All in all, Zhuge Liang was presentable and would not affect the Liu Corporation's corporate image.
Even in his middle and old age, Zhuge was still elegant and noble. Therefore, we can see that Zhuge Liang was a tall, rich, and handsome man.
4. Talent, awesome.
Zhuge Liang was able to appease and protect the wise and able people and turn the tide. After retirement, you can personally cultivate the fields and recite poems. From astronomy to geography, he was proficient in everything. His eloquence was also top-notch. He would have no problem doing business management, public relations planning, and so on.
Anyone who knew Zhuge Liang would give him a thumbs up and praise him.
Zhuge Liang's teacher, Mister Shui Jing, Sima Hui, praised him repeatedly," It can be compared with Jiang Ziya, who flourished in the Zhou Dynasty for a hundred years, and Zhang Liang, who flourished in the Han Dynasty for four hundred years.
5. Ambition, arrogance.
Every time Zhuge Liang finished plowing the fields, he would sit at the head of the field and praise himself. With my talent, I can PK Guan Zhong, Yue Yi, or even kill them in an instant. This meant that he was ambitious and had the intention to become an official.
Zhuge Liang had long had the ambition of a swan. Don't say it's a great ambition. If you read it wrong, you have to say that it was the principal of B University who said it!
According to Long Jiuxiao's analysis, Zhuge Liang was the person Liu Bei was looking for.
Although he was a fresh graduate. He didn't have much work experience, but he was a stock with potential, which was what we often called a dark horse stock. There was a lot of room for hype in the later stages. He was talented, had connections, was eager to find a job, and did not care about the salary, so he was the most suitable.
What a talent! What the 21st century lacked the most. It was also what the Three Kingdoms period lacked the most. It was completely in line with Liu Bei's recruitment requirements. He was Liu Bei's best candidate.
Okay, it's settled then!
