Implementing Create Something Out of Nothing - 36 Strategies
"Create Something Out of Nothing" is a strategy that uses deceptions and later one switch these deceptions into actual fact. The critical point of this strategy is the switch as can be seen from the illustration. The essence of this strategy is best shown in the Aesop Fable the "Boy who Cried Wolf".
You want them to realize that you are using deceptions. This will set the stage for the switching since it will reduce their guard against you. Once the switching has been done, that is when the largest damage should be inflicted.
What are the factor that would lead to the successful implementation of "Create Something Out of Nothing"?
- Realize and Believe it is a Deception
Realize and Believe it is a Deception
Now the first time when you implement the deception, it must be successful. After the successful implementation of the deception, you can either carry out several times the deception or do the switching immediately, depending on the situation. But before you do the switching, you must make sure that the receiving party realized that it is a deception and they have been tricked, preferably make them remember how you implemented your deceptions as well.
After the switching, the process of carrying out your plan must be similar to how you implement the deception. Using the illustration as an example, if General Zhang Xun instead had the 500 soldiers come out of the city gates instead of scaling down the city walls, would the Ling Hu Chao attacked? Of course he would, since the implementation is different. Once the switch is done, that is where you would reap the most out of the strategy since that would be when the largest damage is inflicted.
