"Answer" must pay attention to skills, only in this way can good results be achieved. Under normal circumstances, the "answer" techniques mainly include the following 8 types:
——Use virtual words to hit the truth.
Once, a reporter asked President Mobutu of Zaire: "You are very rich. It is said that your property reaches 3 billion US dollars?"
On the surface, This question seemed to be a general question about his family situation, but in fact it had a very deep meaning and was completely aimed at Mobutu himself's "whether he is honest or not." This is an extremely sensitive political question and it is difficult to answer. If you deny it outright, others will not believe it. If you tell the truth, it is obviously inappropriate. So, how should you answer?
Mobutu smiled and said: "A Belgian congressman said that I have 6 billion U.S. dollars. Have you heard of it?"
Mobutu did not comment on whether he had 3 billion U.S. dollars. Instead of giving a direct answer, he listed a larger number that was obviously exaggerated, and asked the reporter in a mocking tone, thus indirectly denying the reporter's question.
——Use vague language skillfully.

Wang Yuanze replied calmly and calmly: "The one next to the deer is a deer, and the one next to the deer is a deer."
Wang Yuanze was young and ignorant, so there was nothing wrong with him, but he But he cleverly used vague language to save himself, showing his intelligence, wit and extraordinary adaptability.
——Retreat to advance.
A: "You are so beautiful, why haven't you found a partner yet?"
B: "Yes, because I chose more carefully than you."
In these two lines of dialogue, because the person asking the question was aggressive and his tone was harsh and careless, the person answering first acknowledged and then responded. This is called retreating to advance.
——It’s easy to take refuge.
Huizong of the Song Dynasty was a good calligrapher, so he often asked his ministers: "How is my handwriting?" The ministers all flattered him.
One day, Song Huizong asked Mi Fu: "Mi Aiqing, how is my calligraphy?" Mi Fu is a master of calligraphy, and his calligraphy is better than Song Huizong. If you compliment the emperor first, you will inevitably wrong yourself. ; If you boast that you are number one, it will inevitably disappoint the emperor. This is really a difficult question to answer.
Mi Fu thought for a while and said: "I think that among the emperors, your handwriting is the best in the world; among the ministers, Wei Chen's handwriting is the best in the world."
Song Dynasty Huizong understood what he was saying and had to admire Mi Fu's wit from the bottom of his heart.
——Surrounding Wei and rescuing Zhao.
That is, you are not restrained by the other party's questions, but take the offensive and ask questions that cause headaches to the other party, making them fall into a predicament of being overwhelmed and having to give up the original question.
For example, one party said: "I would like to know what are the final measures your country will take on this issue?"
The other party said: "Please believe that we will eventually solve this problem." Question. And I am really worried that if the anti-government movement in your country continues to develop, will your government still have the ability to maintain its current rule?"
That's not the answer.
Answering the question is an avoidance tactic. That is, you use non-substantive words to distract the other party. On the surface, it seems that you have answered the question, but in fact you have quietly avoided the originally difficult question. This can avoid a lot of embarrassment.
Once, the composer Brahms attended a concert held by a young pianist. The concert was specially organized after the young pianist composed a piece of music for Schiller's poem "The Bell Song". Brahms listened attentively during the concert, looking extremely intoxicated. So, the young pianist was so excited that as soon as the concert was over, he happily asked Brahms: "Do you like this piece of music very much?"
Brahms said with a smile without knowing what he was asking. : "This "Song of the Bell" is indeed an immortal poem.
"He avoided this question very cleverly and expressed his true thoughts tactfully and politely. He admired this immortal poem, but he did not think the pianist's music level was very high.
——Invalid answer.
Invalid answer can be divided into two types, namely "validity-invalid answer" and "purely invalid answer". On the surface, the former does not answer the question directly, but in fact it does. The meaning is very deep and needs to be understood by the other party; the latter means that no answer can be found from the respondent's answer, and it is mostly a question that the respondent is unwilling to answer or difficult to answer.
A certain university is responsible for admissions. A staff member went to a certain city to recruit students. A candidate approached the staff member in charge of admissions and asked: "I heard that my name has been included in your school's admissions list. Can I be admitted to your school?" "
The staff member in charge of admissions smiled and said: "Our school is recruiting some new students. I have already registered the names of many candidates on my roster. Your name is also recorded on it. Can you? If you cannot be admitted, please read the list of new students admitted to our school in the newspaper! ”
Although this staff member in charge of admissions at a certain university also answered the question raised by the candidate, in fact, the answer of “can be admitted” or “cannot be admitted” cannot be found from the answer. To get the answer , you can only look for it on the list of admitted students published in the newspaper!
——Inducing denial
Kissinger had just signed the four agreements on the restriction of strategic weapons between the United States and the Soviet Union. In a hotel in Moscow, a reporter began to introduce the situation to the accompanying American press group: "How many submarine missiles are equipped with multiple warheads in the United States? How many Minuteman missiles are equipped with multiple warheads? "
Kissinger replied: "I don't know exactly how many Minuteman missiles are being equipped with multiple warheads. As for the submarines, I know the number, but I don’t know if they are kept secret. "
A reporter hurriedly said: "It's not confidential. "
Kissinger asked: "Isn't it confidential? So how much do you think it is? ”
This kind of inducing question can make the other party fall into self-denial, thereby relieving the difficulty of answering.
