It's a well-designed strategy game that's sure to wake you up after reading it. Listen to me tell a few stories and take a look at the skills of those who are comfortable in the game.

Story 1, let's say a friend borrows $5,000 from you, and you only have $4,006. At this point, you can be honest and offer to lend all of the four thousand six. However, when you ask him to lend you four hundred to make up five thousand after he has borrowed the money, he may refuse. At this point, you can confidently refuse his request for a loan, because how can you expect him to return your $5,000 on time if he is not willing to lend you even $400? This story demonstrates the opposite strategy in game theory.

In the second story, an old man's house is threatened with demolition, and his children are not around. In order to fight against the powerful forces, the old man decided to rent the house to a strong young man at a very low **. He explicitly told the young man that the lease was only three months due to the imminent demolition of the house. Faced with such a high cost performance, young people naturally accepted the old man's proposal. And in this process, the old man cleverly used the "kill by knife" strategy in game theory, using the power of young people to protect his house.

Story 3: One day, a beggar came to the vegetable market. While some gave him some money, most chose to ignore him. The beggar had a unique strategy: he wrote down the addresses of those who gave him money. A few hours later, a Rolls-Royce pulled up in front of him, he got into the car and went from house to house to pay the money, and each payment was ten times the original amount. The next day, when he came to the market again, almost everyone rushed to give him the money, hoping that he would pay it back tenfold again. However, the beggar never returned. This story reveals the "white wolf with empty gloves" strategy in game theory, using clever means to achieve its own ends.

Story 4, a young man accidentally burned out the carpet while staying in a hotel, leaving three small holes. When checking out, the waiter told him that he needed to pay 100 yuan for each hole. The young man asked, "Are you sure it's a hole for 100 yuan?" After receiving an affirmative answer, he immediately lit the cigarette butt and burned the three small holes into one large hole, thus paying only 100 yuan. This story demonstrates "breaking the rules" thinking in game theory, cutting losses by skillfully using rules.

These stories all illustrate the wisdom and importance of strategy in the game. In real life, we also need to learn to use game theory to deal with various challenges and dilemmas. As the saying goes: "To go into the water, you must know how to play, and to play a game, you must know how to play." "If we only do things with sincerity and diligence, and ignore the use of strategy and scheming, then we may fall into passivity and trouble. And those who are really powerful are those who know how to use strategy and scheming to beware of other people's calculations. If they don't have the means to reach the sky, how can they realize their dreams of having a lot of money?

Therefore, I highly recommend everyone to read this book on game theory. When you finish reading it, you will realize that you are as defenseless as you were running naked. You will learn how to think about problems with diverse thinking, use various means to achieve your own goals, and achieve the class leap in your heart. There are games everywhere in life, and learning to play can avoid a lot of disputes and unnecessary losses. From now on, making a lot of money, living in a big house, and driving a luxury car are no longer unattainable dreams, and you will get closer and closer to success.
