[story]: scholar buys firewood

A scholar came to buy wood. He said to the wood seller, "the paid man comes!"

Those who sell firewood do not understand the words "the paymaster" (three), but they can understand two words, so they take the Chai to the front of the scholar.

The scholar asked him, "what is the price?"

The Chai man could not understand this sentence very well, but he could understand the word "price", so he told the scholar price.

The scholar then went on to say, "external reality and internal deficiency, more smoke and less fire, please damage it."

(your wood is dry outside, and it's wet inside. When it's burning up, it will be rich in smoke and small in flame. Please reduce the price.)

The Chai man, because he could not understand the words of scholar, took care of the wood and left.

First of all, there is nothing wrong with his words. However, in the face of Chai Chai people, he chose a wrong way of communication, and the result is communication failure.

Communication in management is even more so. In the face of different audiences, we need to apply different ways of communication.
