Li Peiji and Chiang Kai shek,Ⅲ

Better and Better                                                                                              Day 29

      Brighter than the first three questions is Chiang Kai shek’s fourth paragraph. By this time, Chiang had moved from the defensive posture of the conversation to the offensive posture. Please remember that any conversation will have defensive and offensive posture. Chiang held Li’s hand tightly, saying: Henan’s burden is very heavy, so I sent you. Then he turned to his subordinates and said: Tell director Chen, Li is very tired and take good care of him for me. With this remark, Chiang shook Li’s hand tightly and then turned away. As a result, Li not only didn’t solve the original problem, but also carried a bigger burden. The reason is that Li didn’t think clearly about the relationship of what he want to report and what was Chiang concerned about. This needs clairvoyance power. This is crucial in setting up a conversation strategy.                           

      比蔣介石前三個問題更亮眼的是他的第四段話。這時他已經從談話中的守勢轉到攻勢。請記住任何談話都有守勢和攻勢。蔣介石緊握著李培基的手，說：“河南的膽子很重，所以當初我派你去。”然後轉身對下屬說：“告訴陳主任（陳佈雷），培基很累，代我好好照顧他。”說完這句話，蔣介石緊緊搖了搖李培基的手，轉身離開了。結果是李培基不僅原有的問題沒解決，反而背上了一個更大的包袱。究其原因就是李沒想清楚自己要匯報的事和蔣關注的事的關係。這需要透視力。這在安排談話策略時非常關鍵。
