Stratagem
There is a threat to America and it’s not nuclear, it’s not fanatical terrorists. It’s something that’s been around for thousands of years. It’s an ancient set of Chinese strategies of deception, called the Thirty-Six Stratagems, which are used to defeat an opponent.
Paul Renfro, entrepreneur of the year, a man on top of the world, enters into negotiations with Chinese investors to help take his company global. A former business partner with a grudge suddenly shows up and threatens to wreak havoc. Paul’s business and family life begin to collapse and Paul suspects his former partner. But his wife’s Chinese Grandfather “Beware of the Thirty-Six” and “Loot a burning house.” Paul doesn’t understand the message. The Chinese back out of investing, claiming fear of Paul’s unstable business. When Paul’s daughter is suddenly kidnapped and ransom demanded, Paul is at his wits end. He turns to the Chinese investors and pleads for their help. Has he made the right decision? The more the deceptions unravel, the more we realize it’s just the beginning for Paul.
