Song Xiaobao has a famous sketch called "Fried Noodles". What happened was that he started to order fried noodles with sea cucumber, and later found that the noodles were too dry, so he changed to noodle soup with soup. Finished eating, he's leaving. The waiter took him and said:

"Sir, haven't you paid for your noodle soup?"

"I changed the noodle soup into fried noodles!"

"Then you didn't pay for the fried noodles?"

"Fried noodles, I'm not back? I didn't eat, what should I buy? "

Then he left. The waiter scratched his head, thought it was reasonable, and went on doing his own thing.

What is the logical error in this? It was Song Xiaobao who replaced the returned fried noodles (which did not belong to him) with noodle soup, but the noodle soup was consumed by him without paying the fee.

Mahua FunAge also has a sketch, a person goes shopping, Allen is responsible for the cashier, and then Allen tells the customer:

"Hello, 20 yuan, do you have any change?"

"I have no change. I will give you 100 yuan. "

So Allen asked 80 yuan to give it to the customer, and the customer got 80 yuan (a piece of 50 yuan +20 yuan+10 yuan). Then he found that he now has 20 yuan money in his hand and said:

"Oh, I have small change, how could I forget it!" So he gave it to Allen 20 yuan. Allen complained:

"Don't tell me if you have change!" The customer said, "Then you can give me back 100 yuan, and you can take my 20 yuan.

Allen returned the other party 100 yuan, took the 20 yuan, and then sent the customer out. After Shen Teng came back to be the boss, Allen said happily, "Boss, earn 20 yuan today." Shen Teng a clap forehead and said:

"It's over, I lost another 60 dollars today."

What's the matter?

Three guests came to a small shop and stayed in a hotel. There is only one room in a triple room, and the room rate is 30 yuan, so everyone scoured out 10 yuan. Later, the boss thought it was late, so he took out the 5 yuan and asked the clerk to return it to the customer. The clerk is confused. 5 yuan's money can't be returned to three people, so he embezzled 2 yuan and returned it to each customer 1 yuan. At this time, the customer only went out of 27 yuan, plus 2 yuan, where is the second corruption, and only 29 yuan, where is the remaining 1 yuan?

This is a topic that has been sent many times in the circle of friends. Many people are trapped there, and they can't make money for 9 yuan. They don't know how to calculate it yet. So where is the logical error of this question?

The answer is: expenditure and income are put together, forming a double standard. How exactly did we do it? Let's see how many shares 30 yuan is divided into. One is 25 yuan (30-5) with the boss, one is 2 yuan with Xiao Er, and the other is 3 yuan with the customer. That's all.

In our life, we often encounter logical mistakes, but we often don't know it. From not asking for help from China people in the past to now, people are more inclined to the mentality of "it doesn't hurt anyway", so they unconsciously ordered or did it. In fact, there is an essential mistake.

For example, a salesman told his boss that a competitor's price was lower than ours, and we were going to lose this customer. The boss said that they are small companies! ",the sales staff feel very reasonable and insist on the price of their own products.

Does the low price mean that this is a small company? Of course, if you are so serious, some people will say that you are entangled. ) No, is it possible that customers choose a company with a low price because the other party's service is better and the price is fair, and this price just meets the other party's expectations?

Another example is the call to boycott foreign goods (Europe, America, Japan and South Korea are not distinguished here), saying that as long as we don't go to a certain country and boycott a certain country's brand at home, the country or enterprise will close down day by day, and we have achieved the goal of revenge (I believe most of us won't think so). If we don't consume, won't he sell things to other countries? Does the globalized modern society really exist? Will a country's failure to consume products from another country lead to the bankruptcy of this country or enterprise? Maybe, but not necessarily.

When foreign companies set up companies in China, most of them recruit domestic employees, just ordinary people like you, me and him. At the same time, running enterprises in China should also pay taxes to our government (there may be preferential policies), which is still a good thing for the country and the people.

After reading Wu Jun's letter from Silicon Valley recently, we thought that Buffett's thought was a very profound theory, but the answer was very simple common sense.

For example: how to ensure success? He said the way is not to fail. What if the investment returns? He said the way is to buy low and sell high. How to ensure a smooth career? He said he wouldn't do anything he didn't understand.

After listening to this, you will also feel that these three sentences are the same as those that have never been said, but the things that have been tried and tested are often really these "common sense" that are easy to understand but difficult to implement.

What good will it do us to know about it?

1, anti-flicker.

2. Prevent being cheated.

3. Prevent being fooled.

So how can we learn these points? The answer, of course, is to use the simplest, most convenient and most economical method: read a lot of books that you think (or others recommend), believe in common sense in life, such as things that don't fall in the sky, get something for nothing or everyone grabs it, and think calmly.

Buffett's words also confirmed the mentality of another China master, Wang Yangming. The hardest thing in the world is to know, but you can't do it.

Let's strive to achieve the unity of knowledge and action!
