三国演义的这段描写是精彩的,很精彩,非常精彩,可惜是假的。但是虽然是虚构的,仍然有意义。意义在哪儿呢?我们现在可以把它看作古代版的营销学教材。我们现在用现代视角来看看这个事件就很有意思了。在这个事件中,刘备好比一家投资公司的大老板,他决定投资,要买断某一个人才。诸葛亮呢,就像一个准备应聘行政执行官的这样一个职业经理人。他们双方都有一个互相试探、了解和需要的过程。所以他这一套东西用现在的眼光一看,就觉得整个的一些什么唱歌的农民、不懂事的童子啊、稀奇古怪的朋友啊,全是托儿。这当然是我们今天站在现代视角回过头来看这个问题,得出的结论。甚至我也可以坦率地承认,我这个推测是以小人之心,度君子之腹。纯粹是我的个人意见,不是历史意见,也不是时代意见,也不是罗贯中的意见。
