look at the story of mr. Pizza I’m not
always creative mr. pizza has a pizza
shop but recently this pizza shop
business has had problems no one likes
the pizza he’s really having problems
and now he has no money he has to pay
his bills but he can’t because the
business is very bad so maybe he has to
mr. money Qin he has lots of money and
he wants to buy this business he knows
that this guy doesn’t have many options
he must sell his business so he has all
of the power
the idiom for this for having all of the
power in a situation to have total
he has the upper hand he has the high
ground high ground that is a term from
war for example in war in a fight if you
are up high and someone is low you have
more control you have the high ground
not only in negotiations in business you
could use it in any situation where you
have the control you have the advantage
for example in an interview for a job
there are two candidates one person has
better qualifications of better
experience this person has the upper
now mr. money Qin is saying mr. pizza
you have a problem this situation
there’s no option for escape you are
under pressure
you’re trapped you must do what I tell
you basically in this case when someone
does that to a person they give them no
we talk about being against a wall your
back is against a wall literally meaning
you have no option to escape his back is
against the wall or he has got him
against the wall you will definitely see
this expression in the news when for
example we talk about one country’s
government having more control over
another country’s government and they
don’t give them many options to fix
their problem
this pizza shop is a family business mr.
pizza runs the shop with his daughter
pepperoni and pepperoni doesn’t want her
father to sell the shop
of course she doesn’t want him to sell
it’s the family business it’s very
special but for him he knows well to be
honest I have no options I have no
control when someone is powerless to do
my hands are tied I cannot do anything I
can’t fix this situation because my
hands I can’t use them quite literally
however in this situation it just means
he doesn’t have any options he doesn’t
but pepperoni is not going to give up
come on dad we can make this business
work and actually
she convinced him he changed his mind
okay I won’t sell when you convince
someone not to do something we say this
you talk someone out of doing something
so in this case she convinced him not
remember this is a negative she
convinced him not to sell she talked him
out of selling also important make sure
so mr. pizza goes back to mr. money chin
he’s fighting now he’s defending so we
say he’s standing his ground we can also
say
he’s pushing back remember he was pushed
against the wall but now he’s defending
he’s holding firm to hold firm means
your opinion doesn’t change your
position doesn’t change doesn’t matter
what happens or what someone says it’s
like being stubborn but it’s it doesn’t
mr. money Qin changes his offer now he
is offering ten million for the business
naturally mr. pizza is very shocked ten
I mean yes please
10 million thanks he changed his mind he
convinced him to do something he
convinced him to sell do you remember
before we said his daughter pepperoni
she talked him out of selling to mean
not do something but in this case he
convinced him to do something in the
positive
he talked him into selling he talked him into selling so just remember to
