Chapter 8 Number one and two: don’t over talk

A person who can talk, he pays attention to propriety when speaking, and never exaggerates the truth.Especially when a salesman introduces products to others, he should pay more attention to seeking truth from facts and not rely on rhetoric and exaggerated deception to succeed.We often hear many examples of talking too much in our lives. In the 1986 of the Republic of China, the former police chief Yao ○○ who was in charge of the national security power; when the Legislative Yuan was bombarded that he should be responsible for the high crime rate of taxi drivers, he forgot that he was the highest security chief in the country and blurted out Echoing the legislator said: Right!Taxi drivers are really dangerous, now even my daughter dare not take a taxi!If the country's highest chief of public security said so, wouldn't we ordinary people dare not even go out?

There is also a story about Xu Xiang, king of Qin, which is also very interesting: The King of Qin originally had a very talented Xiangguo named Gan Mao who assisted him in his administration.Once, when King Qin was talking to Gongsun Yan, he casually promised Gongsun Yan: Do it well!The widow will definitely promote you to be the prime minister. This is obviously an exaggerated joke by King Qin.The officials under Gan Mao told Gan Mao the words.Gan Mao went to see King Qin and said: Congratulations to the king for being a virtuous prime minister, and I have the courage to congratulate the king.

Qin Wang was puzzled and said: The widow has given you the power of the Prime Minister, so where can you get any good Prime Minister? Gan Mao said: Didn't your majesty want to make Gongsun Yan his prime minister? King Qin was surprised and asked: Where did you hear that? Gan Mao replied: Gongsun Yan told me. Only then did King Qin realize that he had said something that should not have been promised in the conversation with Gongsun Yan, and he seemed very embarrassed. The so-called don't talk too much, it means that you should pay attention to seeking truth from facts when you speak, and don't talk about it, flaunt it wantonly, brag too much, and make promises easily.In that way, no matter how good the eloquence is, there will be no problems.
