The manager of a trading company in the United States designed a trademark and held a meeting to solicit suggestions from various departments. The manager said: "The theme of this trademark is the rising sun, which symbolizes hope and light. At the same time, this rising sun is very similar to the Japanese flag. If Japan sees it, it will definitely come to buy our products."

Later, he sought advice from the department director. The sales director and advertising director are extremely satisfied with the trademark conceived by the manager. Finally, it was the young employee who acted as the director of the export department to express his opinion. He said: "I don't agree with this trademark." Everyone in the office looked at him in surprise.

"What? You don't like this design?" the manager asked him in surprise.

“I like this trademark very much,” the young man replied very bluntly. In fact, from an artistic point of view, the young man was indeed dissatisfied with the trademark, but he understood that debating aesthetics with the manager would not achieve much, so he just said: "I'm afraid it's too good." ”.

After listening to what he said, the manager laughed and said again: "I don't understand what you said. You should explain it to everyone."

"There is no words to say that this design is bright and vivid, because it is similar to the Japanese flag, and any Japanese will like it very much."

"Yeah, that's exactly what I meant. , I just said it." The manager was already a little impatient with what he said.

“However, we still have a more important market in the Far East, which is the Chinese society, and also includes China and Southeast Asian countries. If people in these countries see this trademark that looks like the Japanese flag , will think of the Japanese flag without hesitation. Although Japanese people like this trademark very much, due to historical reasons, people in these countries and regions may not like this trademark, and some people may even feel disgusted. In other words, they are unwilling to buy our products. Isn't this a small gain? According to our company's business plan, we want to expand trade with China and Southeast Asian countries and regions, but with such a trademark, The result is very clear."

"Oh my god! Why didn't I think of this? Your suggestion was very correct!" The manager almost shouted with joy.

In the above example, the young man said something like "I'm afraid it's too good" to satisfy the manager's pride first, so that he would not be unhappy. He then gave his reasons so that the manager would not be embarrassed.
