36 Strategies : 5th Strategy (趁火打劫)

The Fifth Advantageous Strategy is, ” Looting a house on fire ” ( Chen Huo Da Jie )

When the enemy is in a big crisis, that is the time to destroy him.

Examples:-
1) During a stock market crash, a buyer may intentionally put in a very low bid, hoping that a desperate seller has no choice but to accept that price. In this case, there are desperate sellers may have to meet margin calls or contra deadlines.
2) Scarcity of a product will always produce opportunities for the “looters” eg. sold out concerts, movies, sporting events etc.
3) After a catastrophic event eg. flood, earthquake etc, unscrupulous businessmen may jack up the prices of essential items.
