Liu Bei's three visits to the thatched cottage is a well-known story. It is like a false love, and he repeatedly invited and interviewed talented people with expertise. It has been passed down to this day and has become a good story in the world. The story takes place in 207 AD. Liu Bei was born in 161 AD, so he was born in the 60s and was 47 years old at the time, while Zhuge Liang was born in 181 and was born in the 80s and was 27 years old at the time. There is a 20-year age difference between the two.

So, how did Liu Bei, who was born in the 1960s, hire Zhuge Liang, who was born in the 1980s? What enlightenment does this legendary story bring to our corporate recruitment management today?

What kind of talents does Liu Bei need?

Compared with Cao Cao, Liu Bei's own business ability is not strong. Liu Bei realized the importance of resourceful people, and he knew very well that in order to develop rapidly and expand his territory, he urgently needed a professional manager to help him.

This professional manager must have conditions that Liu Bei and others around him do not have: a strong policy vision; a strong analytical thinking; a strong job search motivation; and certain management capabilities. ; Applicants with mission experience will be given priority.

How did Liu Bei hire him?

The Three Kingdoms period was not as developed as mobile phones and the Internet today, so there were relatively few recruitment channels and means. A start-up company like Liu Bei is a typical three-no enterprise (no capital, no market, and no brand). It has no time for internal training and internal recruitment cannot be found. Therefore, it must find another way to select people, and his recruitment positioning is also very precise. :

1. Under the banner of Uncle Liu Huang

In this era of peace and prosperity, if you want to achieve great success, you must have a decent brand.

2. Automatic counterattack

If you search for entrepreneurial companies like Liu Bei at a fixed point, the chance of talent finding you is very low. So he took the initiative to recruit talents through recommendations from acquaintances and poaching others.

3. Establish the shop owner brand

Liu Bei paid close attention to all the details in the thatched cottage, showing his respect for talents.

Why does Liu Bei like Zhuge Liang?

1. Look at academic qualifications

This must be mentioned by his teacher. There are different opinions on who Zhuge Liang's teacher was. However, compared with Liu Bei's teacher Lu Zhi (official to Shangshu), Cao Cao's teacher Qiao Xuan (official to Taiwei), Xu Shao (famous critic) and other official celebrities, both in terms of academic level and popularity, there is a certain degree difference. Therefore, if Liu Bei and Cao Cao graduated from 985 University, Zhuge Liang can only be regarded as a graduate from the second university. In terms of academic qualifications, Zhuge Liang does not have many disadvantages.

2. Look at life experience

The Zhuge family is a prominent family in the Jingxiang area. Zhuge Liang is not a commoner at all. He is a well-deserved second-generation official.

3. Look at the temperament

Chen Shou wrote in "Jin (Zhuge Liang Collection) Biao": Liang rarely has the talent to escape the crowd, the weapon of heroic domination, eight feet in length, and very handsome appearance. Great, people are different at that time. Translated into ancient words, my little friend and I were all shocked because of her incredible appearance. He has his own land and his own assistant. Taken together, Zhuge Liang is a tall, rich and handsome man.

4. Appreciate talent and learning

Those who know Zhuge Liang speak highly of him. His teacher Sima Hui commented on him: He can be compared to Jiang Ziya who flourished for a hundred years and Zhang Zifang who flourished for four hundred years.

5. Look at ambitions

Every time Zhuge Liang compares himself to Guan Zhonglei, it shows that he has great ambitions and deliberately wants to become an official.

Through the above analysis, although Zhuge Liang is an unemployed young man with no work experience, he is a high-potential talent. He is talented, knowledgeable, well-connected, and has a strong motivation to find a job. He meets the first four conditions of Liu Bei's recruitment. So Liu Bei wanted to choose him.

What attracted Zhuge Liang to Liu Bei?

1. Have great ambitions

For a boss, there is always hope. What if it is achieved? If the boss has ambitions, then the subordinates will have meat to eat if they follow you.

2. There is a lot of room for development

There are many talented people like Cao Cao, Sun Quan, and Yuan Shao, but inexperienced graduates like Zhuge Liang will not be taken seriously at all. But here with Liu Bei, he can be reused and have room to display his talents.

3. Liu Bei is sincere

Not only is it as complicated as three door-to-door visits, but from today's perspective, asking a boss born in the 1960s to find a fresh graduate born in the 1980s is not enough. It is a very rare task, and every time they come, Guan Yu and Zhang Fei are impatient, but Liu Bei is always very calm. Especially the last time, Liu Bei went on a vegetarian diet for three days before meeting Zhuge Liang, almost treating Zhuge Liang as a male god.

How did Liu Bei evaluate Zhuge Liang?

1. The oral examination method is appropriate

When Liu Bei was interviewing Zhuge Liang, he asked a question: "The Han Dynasty is in ruins, traitors steal their lives, and they are prepared beyond their capabilities and want to extend righteousness to the whole country." , but his intelligence and skills are short, and he has achieved nothing. It is really a blessing that the teacher can save him from his stupidity!" On the surface, he is asking Zhuge Liang for help, but in fact, he is investigating Zhuge Liang's policy ideas.

2. The interview process is rigorous

Liu Bei conducted a prospect investigation before the interview. During the interview, Liu Bei first investigated Zhuge Liang's ability, and then discussed the employment. Such a complete set of processes, steady, interlocking, and smooth, seems to us to be very appropriate today.

3. Pay attention to the management of the probation period

After Liu Bei hired Zhuge Liang, he did not show indifference, but "treated Kong Ming like a teacher, eating at the same table and sleeping on the same bed. He talks about world affairs all day long. "This kills three birds with one stone. Firstly, it discusses business problems. Secondly, it further investigates Zhuge Liang's ability. Thirdly, it makes Zhuge Liang feel that he is taken seriously and has an encouraging influence.

Zhuge Liang's "Seven Ways to Observe People" will teach you how to see through a person

Zhuge Liang, a generation of sage seekers, strategized and planned exquisitely, is a myth of wisdom. Whether he was on the march or dealing with state affairs, he had to recruit a large number of talents. Therefore, in his many years of political career, he had already developed his own way of recognizing people.

In his article "Knowing People", he formally put forward his own point of view: "The first is to ask people by their length and weakness and then observe their aspirations; the second is that when they are poor, they are judged by their rhetoric and the changes are observed; the third is that , consult them with strategies and observe their knowledge; fourth, tell them difficulties and observe their bravery; fifth, drink them drunk and observe their nature; sixth, approach them with benefits and observe their integrity; seventh, period To judge the trust based on the matter."

In short, it is a comprehensive investigation from the seven aspects of the other party's "will, change, knowledge, courage, character, integrity and trust". It can be said to be all-round. .

1. Ask about its length and observe its ambition

There is a saying in "Zhuangzi 6. Qi Wu Lun": "That is also the same length and this is also the same length." Human beings. We each have our own strengths and weaknesses, and we always have different views on the world.

A person without ambition is either a mediocre person or a gentleman sitting on the fence. Such people cannot form their own views on the world and can only go along with others' opinions, even talking about other people's opinions and talking nonsense. Therefore, asking about a person's perspective on right and wrong can reveal that person's ambition. The more intense the attitude towards right and wrong, the stronger a person's ambition can be seen.

2. Use rhetoric to observe changes

"Change" refers to the ability to adapt to changes. To get to know someone, you must speak multiple languages ??with him. Push him to the point where he is at a loss for words and see how he responds. Zhuge Liang believed that those who are eloquent must be quick-thinking and quick-thinking.

Those who have perseverance in their hearts, although their rhetoric is complex, will never deviate from their principles. A gentleman who has no bottom line may speak in a variety of ways, but his words are meaningless and meaningless.

3. Consult with others for strategies and observe their knowledge

"Knowledge" refers to view. A person's level of insight can be seen by how he responds to situations. No matter how kind-hearted a person is and how high his character is, if he cannot do things, he is still a harmful person to society. People who contribute to society must be people who can make suggestions for improving society and the environment around them.

But we should carefully distinguish those who really have extraordinary insights and those who are just rhetoric.

If a person has more practical experience, the opinions he puts forward are simple and to the point, which is called extraordinary insight; if they are just nerds, their ideas may be wild and unconstrained, but they are useless, which is just rhetoric.

4. Tell someone something difficult and watch their courage

When you encounter difficult things, this is the time to test the courage of the other party.

People without courage work hard in the face of difficulties and stick to the old rules without knowing how to solve difficulties. But those who are truly courageous can often handle difficulties by being both strong and soft when faced with difficulties, taking circuitous steps and facing them head-on.

5. Use wine to see the person’s nature when they are drunk

People’s nature is often hidden very deep. At this time, you can use wine to open the other person’s heart and make him talk about the most real things in his heart. self.

Vulgar people talk nonsense while drinking, and even act drunkenly, causing trouble. People who can control themselves will occasionally express their deepest emotions at this time, or talk about their ideals or setbacks. Therefore, a Bole who knows people should best observe people's character at the wine table.

6. Look at the opponent's integrity when facing advantages and observe his integrity

Observing the other party's attitude towards advantages can reveal his integrity. People with high moral integrity do not enjoy ill-gotten gains. "Mencius" says: "Becoming rich and noble unjustly is like floating clouds to me." No matter how large the amount of unjust wealth is, it will eventually be emptied.

On the contrary, if you work hard to make money with your own integrity, even if the profit is small, you can enjoy it for a long time.

7. Expect things and see what they believe

When you ask the other party to do things, you can also use this to see whether the other party can fulfill the promise.

Chao Shuo has a famous saying: "You can't stand without faith, and you can't be dishonest." Whether a person can establish a firm foothold in society depends on whether he can keep his credibility.

If a person agrees that the other person cannot do something, he will sincerely apologize to the person, and sometimes even recommend people who can do bad things. Although he missed the deadline at this time, it showed his quality.

With the development of modern social communication networks, everyone has to face a large number of strangers every day. Therefore, although Zhuge Liang's method of recognizing people has been proposed for more than a thousand years, it is still of great significance to modern society.

Making friendly friends and hiring the right talents can greatly benefit our lives and tasks.

Yang Jizhong (Dujiangyan, Sichuan)

Summary: Yuan Xudong was a big bandit who moved in Guan County (today's Dujiangyan) during the Republic of China. This man was vicious, vicious and cunning, and was hunted down many times. Able to escape.

Last time we talked about "Snow Villa" by the gangster Yuan Xudong. Readers and friends hope to continue the show. Today we will talk about "Crossing Dujiangyan with a Heavy Load" by the gangster Yuan Xudong. This is the story after Yuan Xudong was recruited.

At the end of the 1930s, the first movie screening in Guan County was held at the Labor Bureau (now the Taxation Bureau on Ruilian Street). "Lotus Temple", the content is about martial arts fighting between swordsmen, immortals and knights. After watching it, some students became extremely respectful and obsessed with the swordsman in the film. Among those who perished, two were the sons of wealthy men in the county. They could not read and had poor achievements. After watching "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple", I often skipped school, stole my family's money, and made two sets of swordsman robes in a clothing store. I also stole two opera swords from the theater troupe. They wear chivalry uniforms and hold swords in their hands, beating them in the streets to show off.

One day, two dudes drew swords and danced with each other in the classroom, causing chaos in the classroom and being scolded by the teacher. The second dude skipped school and left. After wandering around the streets of Guanxian for a few times, the young man suddenly had a whim and said, why don't you and I learn from the swordsman in "The Burning of the Red Lotus Temple", go to the Taoist temple to practice immortality, grind the road, and complete the task of flying over eaves and walking over walls? The two planned: There are dozens of Taoist temples in Guanxian County, and only Laojun Rock, halfway up the mountain on the west bank of Dujiangyan, is the best choice. The scenery there was good, the atmosphere was good, it was noisy, and it was relatively close to Guan County, only seven or eight miles away. The two finally decided to set the place for cultivating immortality at Laojunyan.

The two of them walked up the steps from the Chenghuang Temple, passed by the Douxi Terrace, the west gate, the Fengxuanxuanxiong Temple, and then crossed the rope bridge to Hanwang Temple. In Jiaba, on the outskirts of Hanjiaba, I met a beautiful village girl with a charming smile and full eyes.

The two of them were excited and came forward to talk to each other: "Excuse me, fairy aunt, how to get to Laojunyan?" The village girl smiled but did not answer. The two of them then said: "It is said that there is a profound and extensive Taoist path in Laojunyan. We are going to find him as our teacher!" The village girl pointed the way and said with a crisp smile: "Go from here." After speaking, he ran away. The two of them felt lost. One of them wrote a limerick and murmured to the village girl from afar:

I met the beautiful girl on the west side of the rope bridge,

her face was like the full moon and her cheeks were fragrant.

But you can follow me to cultivate immortality.

Why do you need to marry a farmer?

After reading it, the two of them laughed and followed the path pointed by the village girl. When we reached the grassland, we saw the red sun setting in the west and hanging on the top of the Western Mountain. The two of them were admiring the beautiful scenery of the rising sun. Suddenly, several burly men emerged from the grass. They rushed over, tied the two of them up, put cloth strips in their mouths, pulled them into the cave, forced their necks with a big knife, made them kneel down, and said Provide the parent’s identity and address.

The parents of the second dandy saw that their son had returned late tonight, so they searched the streets and went to various brothels to inquire, but there was no news. Two days later, there was still no sign of anyone. The second rich man was so worried that he reported the case to the police station. Early on the morning of the fourth day, a letter was tucked under the door of the two rich men. The letter said that each of the two rich men was asked to prepare 800 silver dollars to pick up the person at a certain place in Yutang on a certain day. The second rich man believed that he had been kidnapped by a gangster (before liberation, gangsters in Guanxian County kidnapped young children, which was called "kidnapping"; kidnapping an elderly man, which was called "fat pig pulling"), was a blackmail letter. He handed it over to the police chief. The chief was furious and Yuan Xudong, the commander of the joint defense department, screamed, "The security in Yutang is so bad. What crime do you deserve?" Yuan Xudong replied: "People are in ruins and banditry is everywhere. This is caused by me alone." The director yelled angrily: Arrest him for being so stubborn! The police arrested Yuan Xule and put him in a cell in Fulongguan.

After Yuan Xudong was imprisoned, his family heard the news. , he asked Uncle Pao of Guan County for help. When Diao Qingyun saw that one of his subordinates was being imprisoned, he came to plead with the police chief, but he was unwilling to release him.

Now, Yuan Xudong is in prison and says to the policeman guarding him: Brother, how about I make a deal with you? The policeman said: What deal? Yuan Xudong said: Let me go and I will give you. You're worth 100 yuan! The police officer said with an expression of embarrassment: Brother, even if I let you go, there will be heavy troops guarding the entrance of Fulongguan, and you won't be able to escape by then, and you will still be a drag on me. He said: You don't need to worry about this. If you are afraid of being dragged down, just go with me. Land under the South Bridge! The policeman waved his hand and said: No, I can't swim! Yuan Xudong said: I can carry you across the river, and I guarantee you won't be drowned. I will give you 100 yuan! The messenger was eager to make a fortune, so he opened the prison door and released Yuan Xudong. They held hands and jumped into Fulongtan from the hanging rock. Yuan Xudong held the messenger tightly with his left hand, paddled with his right hand, and swam into the mouth of the bottle. They swam hard to the other side of the river and landed in front of the lower street of Nanqiao. They took off their clothes and put them on again that night. After taking care of themselves, Yuan Xudong fled to the mountain again overnight. He fled to Songpan and hid for about a year. Later, he heard that the "baby-baby" incident had been stopped, so he returned to Guanxian County. It turned out that the "baby-baby operation" was done by Yuan Xudong's brothers.

A few years later, Li Liangguang, a young man surnamed Li with excellent water ability, admired Yuan Xudong's heroic feat of crossing Baopingkou with a heavy load and wanted to imitate him. He bet with his fellow villagers that if he swam across Baopingkou, he would be the best. When he "recovered the beach" under the South Bridge, everyone offered him a table of food and drinks. However, after he swam into the mouth of the bottle, he never climbed ashore again. It turned out that he hit his head on a driftwood while swimming. , suffered minor bleeding and drowned.

The two dudes who were looking for immortals to practice swords were in critical condition when they were rescued. One of them died of panic, and the other was temporarily depressed. The pursuit of cultivating immortals and grinding roads.

There is a lady temple in Qingxi Village, Siqian Township, Guangguang County. Due to its long-term disrepair and serious damage, the village tried their best to obtain funds for the construction of this temple. The ancient buildings of the Ming and Qing Dynasties underwent salvage restoration.

The Madame Temple in Qingxi Village, Siqian Township, enshrines the three Madame Bodhisattvas, Chen Lin and Li.

Legend has it that during the Tang Dynasty, Chen Jinggu, a Putian man, went to Lushan to study Dharma. When he was 24 years old, he prayed for rain to fight drought and died as a tiger's helper. After her death, her heroic spirit gained enlightenment, she learned obstetrics and gynecology skills to save the world, and became the "god of midwifery and pregnancy protection" in the world. The two men named Lin and Li were her sworn sisters, and they helped her pray for rain to eliminate evil.

Ancient buildings are witnesses of history, and they carry the accumulation of civilization in a place. Qingxi Village came here and took the temple as its name, so it was called Lady Temple. Remember when you come here, you will see an antique old street on the opposite side. On both sides are well-preserved new-style private houses. The Madame Temple is built across the street and stands on the street. The side door in the middle of the temple connects the upper and lower streets on both sides. People have to pass through the middle of the temple when going from the street to the end of the street. The temple and residence are integrated into one, with humans and gods accompanying each other. It is full of characteristics and has given the outsiders a kind of spiritual worship.

After more than 400 years of wind and rain corrosion, Madam Temple has been severely damaged, and local people have been clamoring for repairs.

Qiu Fucai, director of Qingxi Village, Siqian Township, Guangming County:

The pillars, beams and tiles are all in serious decay. We villagers also reacted quite strongly, that is to say, the main hall was repaired for the sake of civilization and safety.

The Madame Temple covers an area of ??about 600 square meters and consists of the main hall, stage, wing building, empty terrace, kitchen, etc. Among them, the cornices and horns above the main hall are carved with dragons and phoenixes, the doors and windows are decorated with latticework, and the wood, brick, and stone carvings are exquisitely crafted, showing the superb skills of modern craftsmen. In July of this year, Qingxi Village in Siqian Township raised 100,000 yuan to repair the main hall of Madam Temple with the strong assistance of Nanping Housing and Urban-Rural Development Bureau, the designated unit. In order to maintain the original appearance of the ancient building as much as possible, the village went to great lengths to invite some skilled craftsmen from other places to participate in the repair work.

Qiu Fucai, director of Qingxi Village, Siqian Township, Guangming County:

The masters who repair ancient buildings are all in their sixties. These masters who used to repair this ancient temple have relatively rich experience.

Now, more than half of the repair work on the main hall of Madame Temple in Qingxi Village, Siqian Township has been completed, and it is expected to be completed in the middle of this month. However, according to village cadres, it will take time to fully restore the ancient buildings of Madam Temple, especially in terms of funding.
