In fact, what happened between Yong Chi and Liu Bang can be easily explained using the game theory in the current market. Yong Chi was once Liu Bang's partner, but he joined other companies because he was not optimistic about Liu Bang. Faced with betrayal, Liu Bang started his own business for the second time, annexed the company Yong Chi had joined, and successfully went public. Yong Chi was reduced from a partner to a wage earner. When everyone thought he had lost his value to Liu Bang, he was once again squeezed out of the last trace of residual value, that is, by awarding Yong Chi a reward to silence other heroes.

1. Partners

Yong Chi, a fellow villager of Peixian County, Liu Bang, the founder of the Han Dynasty, came from a powerful family.

When Liu Bang launched an uprising against the Qin Dynasty, Yong Chi led the crowd to invest in it. During this period, Yong Chi looked down on Liu Ji, a once idle gangster, and occasionally caused him some trouble.

However, who is Liu Ji? He comes from a wild background and has a brighter mind than you do from a noble family. He knows who he has to rely on to achieve success, and he knows how to unite all the forces that can be united. Therefore, the envoy to Yongchi was hesitant, and even after Liu Bang obtained Fengyi, he handed it over to Yongchi for guarding. It can be seen that at this time, Yong Chi's status in Liu Bang's mind was much more important than that of fair-weather buddies such as Fan Kuai and Xia Houying.

2. Betrayal

Liu Bang led his brothers to fight outside, and Yongchi surrendered the city to Wei Zhoushi. Facing the loss of his base camp, Liu Bang returned to attack the city. At this time, Yong Chi truly proved his ability to defend the city to Liu Bang. Liu Bang's attack on Fengyi ended in failure. In the end, the homeless Liu Bang had to lead his brothers to Xiang Liang in Xue County.

Betrayed by his partner, his years of hard work became someone else's wedding dress. Liu Bang's betrayal of Yong Chi should be unforgettable. At this time, Liu Bang was probably thinking of Brother Ma's famous saying: I want to tell people that I must get back what I lost!

3. The wage earner

Betrayed by his partner, the foundation he worked hard for was gone, but Liu Ji was lucky and his brother was still there. In this way, Liu Ji led his brothers to start a business for the second time, and finally established his own independently controlled Dahan Group. The company where Yong Chi worked was also merged by Dahan Group, and Yong Chi changed from a former partner to a wage earner under Liu Ji. .

4. Develop surplus value

At this time, Liu Bang became famous and became a hero. Some of the brothers below were dissatisfied and complained every day, saying that Liu Bang was partial and the rewards were unfair. So Liu Bang asked Zhang Liang, a senior counselor. Zhang Liang suggested: Whoever your Majesty hates the most should be rewarded generously, so that everyone has hope of receiving a reward.

As a result, Yong Chi, who had lost value in the eyes of others, was once again squeezed out of surplus value by Liu Bang. Liu Bang immediately made Yongchi the Marquis of Shifang, ranking fifty-seventh. Everyone's mouths were blocked like this, Yong Chi secretly had fun in his heart, and Liu Bang was too lazy to argue with his former partners. Yong Chi escaped Liu Bang and Lu Pheasant's purge of heroes and lived until the third year of Emperor Hui of Han Dynasty before his death.
