Preface Sun zu’s ‘Art of War’ ( 孫子兵法) is possibly one of the most famous Chinese texts of all time. It’s one of five texts written on the subject of military strategy throughout Chinese antiquity that is regarded as a classic and its stellar rise to fame has placed it on book shelves worldwide and seen it extend its reach from the battleground, to the boardroom and even on the football pitch. A few moments of perusal on the internet will reveal a multitude of articles and slide shows on how we can apply the works of Sun zu in our lives and our careers. You might go so far as to say that it’s one of the oldest self-help books ever written. In the business community ‘Te Art of War’ and the strategies of Sun zu have become synonymous with winning and as such they have been translated time and time again with new commentaries and new interpretations. Its methods applied to everything from people management to marketing. I would wager that almost all enormously successful Chinese businessmen are students of Sun zu. It has been my privilege, throughout my career, to work with some great business leaders and over time I have been fortunate enough to call those people my friends. It has been through their eyes, their passions and their experiences that my own interest in Sun zu and his war treatise has been reinvigorated. From my perspective as a practitioner of metaphysic, however, it struck me that while these great men and women were following the tactics of Sun zu and coming to me for my expertise, they were unaware of the fact that Qi Men Dun Jia ( 奇門遁甲） was designed desig ned for use in warfare and, as such, it can be used to directly guide the applications of ‘Te Art of War’. While Sun zu’s war treatise is a work of philosophy, philos ophy, Qi Men Dun Jia is a powerful powerfu l tool for gaining gaini ng intelligence into the workings of the universe itself. Used correctly, Qi Men Dun Jia can give you the insight you need to help you to fine tune your strategies according to the prevailing conditions indicated by the reading. Qi Men has always been the tool of war strategists. Troughout history it has been a crucial aid to the greatest of military minds including Zhuge Liang, Liu Bowen, Zhang Liang, Jiang Ziya and Mao Zedong, and let us not forget that all these men have also been well known k nown for f or their the ir use of and respect for ‘Te ‘T e Art of War’. War’.

Given that Qi Men and ‘Te Art Ar t of War’ War’ have such obvious synchronicity, synchronicity, it seems surprising that so few books have been written on Sun zu with a Qi Men commentary commentar y or, conversely, conversely, on Qi Men with a commentary commentar y on strategic aspects taken from ‘Te Art of War’. War’. But of course, most masters of Qi Men Dun Jia are not warriors and they have never lead armies into battle. Tey are scholars and professors, learned men and women, whose life work does not include running of multi-million dollar businesses or spearheading of organisations. Tis is where I come in. I admit that I don’t have experience on a battlefield; I am no soldier, and I don’t claim to be an expert on Sun zu, but I am an entrepreneur, running a multi-million dollar organisation. I understand the real world concerns of business leaders and strategists. Trough the trials and tribulations of building up my own business empire, I have spent a great deal of time reflecting on the words of Sun zu and the ways in which his strategies can be applied to maximum effect. But when I set myself the task of bringing Qi Men Dun Jia and ‘Te Art of War’ together, I had very little to go on. I only found one paragraph on an exploration of Qi Men throughout Sun zu’ zu’s philosophy in a book by Master Jiang Xun. Tere was no indication of further reading and Master Jiang is no longer with us for me to ask him personally. personally. I was forced to go for it alone. Piece by piece I brought my ideas together, together, untying and retying the strands of knowledge until I created a whole new tapestry of information and insight. My discoveries have astounded even myself and, after all my years of labour, building my own brand into the phenomena it is today, I can tell you for certain that business management truly is an art of war. I present to you here the culmination of my labours: the ‘Art ‘Art of War’ War’ has finally been combined with the ‘ool of War.’ I have designed this book to be a guide into a never before seen synthesis of the philosophy of ‘Te Art of War’ and the practice of Qi Men Dun Jia with a specific focus on business and business philosophy. Tis is the eighteenth book in my Qi Men Dun Jia series and it will be used to facilitate my business centrum Qi Men program called Qi Men Warcraft Warcraft and Qi Men Strategic Execution. As this book comes so late in the series, I did not deem it necessary to discuss the fundamentals, chart plotting and theories of Qi Men Dun Jia; should you have an interest in learning more, it will be necessary to refer to one of the earlier books in the series.
