"My king's position, how can I not taint myself? Look at Britain's attitude, it's all about cannibalism!"
While Benjamin was secretly plotting against Xiao Letian, Xiao Letian was also working diligently for Bureau Wang. After all, Xiao Letian was discussing private business in a diplomatic setting. This kind of behavior would be very detrimental to Yuan's reputation if it spread out. Tianlai Novel
But Xiao Letian has no choice. Now he has penetrated deep into the hinterland of Europe and entered the nest of British power. It is said that Britain has the ability to hack more than two thousand of his own at any time.
There have been many massacres of envoys in human history. If Britain uses its national power to kill you, it will kill you. No one on the entire planet can stand up for you.
Even if they don't kill, there will be no good fruits to eat. If the UK detains Xiao Letian's two thousand 'guards', let alone participate in the Franco-Prussian War, I'm afraid you won't even be able to leave the British border.
"My boss, now the British have made it clear that they want to alienate Zaichun and encourage Zaichun to fly solo, so our plan must be adjusted. I must let the British reduce their threat to me..."
"To be honest, within ten to twenty years, we really don't have the strength to compete with Britain!"
Wang Huaiyuan's brows furrowed into the Chinese character "Sichuan". "Will self-abuse work? Will Zai Chun be able to return to our control again? The UK will not deal with us? How can it be that simple..."
"No... it still has a role!" Xiao Letian said firmly, "Britain is a mercantilist country, which is the foundation of their country. Basically, after the Glorious Revolution, the remnants of feudal thought in the UK have been completely eliminated. Cleaned up..."
"You can think about it, even the royal family has begun to invest in business. The British aristocrats actually have dual identities. One layer is aristocrats and the other layer is businessmen. They are very good at doing business!"
"What do businessmen value? You might say it's interests, which is correct but not comprehensive! In fact, what businessmen value most is contracts and exchanges, which are the foundation of all business activities!"
"In areas where business is flourishing, people will definitely respect contracts and abide by the terms of the contract, because integrity is the cornerstone of business. Once the spirit of the contract is gone, there will be no fairness in business transactions!"
"The second point is communication. Business transactions are all about exchanging what you need. What you lack is exactly what I have. Exchange with each other ensures that both parties can benefit... In other words, communication is very important, Qing Dynasty Why did they go to war with Britain in the end? It was because the Qing Dynasty completely violated these two key business laws!"
"The door to communication was closed, leaving British businessmen with no way to negotiate at all. Then the monarch's power was greater than anything else. The bureaucracy devoured the businessmen to death. Contracts and contracts in the Qing Dynasty were just wipes of paper. It can be abolished at will!”
"This kind of behavior that completely violates business principles has touched the bottom line of the British. At the same time, the British cannot do without the huge market of the Qing Dynasty. In the end, more and more conflicts accumulate, so they have no choice but to go to war..."
"The Manchus and Qing Dynasties refuse to confront the British at the negotiation table, so the only way to deal with them is to reason on the battlefield. To put it bluntly, the Manchu Qing Dynasties are seeking their own death!"
"We must remember that mercantilism is not the rule of profiteers. Real businessmen value long-term interests and sustainable development. On the contrary, only the bureaucracy cares more about immediate profits, because it is difficult to pass official positions from father to son, but business can The family has been in succession for hundreds of years..."
"I acted like a businessman and a philistine today. On the surface, the Duke of Newcastle is very angry, but have you noticed? Whenever the negotiations are about to collapse, whenever he is the most angry, he can always turn his back. The edge was pulled back..."
"This is the quality of a businessman! It is much better to have a bloody argument at the negotiation table than to resolve conflicts on the battlefield... In fact, this is how business should be done. A balance is reached in the quarrels between the two parties, so that cooperation can continue! "
"I have made a good posture in front of the British. This can reassure the businessmen of this country and let them know that I am actually the same type of person as them. Only in this way can they dispel their wariness!"
"As for Benjamin? The information sent by King Yi and Fangguan confirmed that his attitude will not change, which means that Benjamin is our biggest enemy... My play is not for him, but for him. To Benjamin’s political opponents!”
"Of course there are countless nobles in the UK! Don't worry, it will have a certain effect..."
Looking at Xiao Letian's determined expression, Wang Ju finally felt relieved. He sighed, "Yi Wang..." Speaking of Fangguan and Yi Wang, I really miss them. I don't know how they have lived in the past few years. Is it good?"
"Okay! How can it be bad? After Yi Wang changed his face, he has become a famous wild friend in Europe, and he is now in London!"
Xiao Letian was right. King Yi was waiting for Xiao Letian's arrival in London with Fangguan at the moment. In an ordinary tavern in the East End of London, a table of exquisite French cuisine was placed on the table in a private room on the second floor. What was served was not red wine, but a large draft beer mug, with fragrant dark beer spreading foam.
Yi Wang and Fang Guan were having a meal with the leader of the British Liberal Party, William Ugel Gladstone. It seemed that the cooperation between the two parties had entered a deeper stage. There was a thick portion beside Gladstone. Kraft envelope.
Fang Guan smiled and patted the kraft paper envelope, "Dear Sir, this is the third political donation. The Sino-German Friendship Foundation once again supports the Liberal Party with 500,000 pounds... Now do you believe our sincerity?"
Gladstone took a mouthful of veal and chewed it. After he swallowed it, he nodded expressionlessly, "It's not enough. I need more. I want 80,000 pounds for the fourth donation..."
"You have to know that it costs money to publicize public opinion in newspapers and media. It also costs money to relieve the poor people in the name of the Liberal Party. I also need to bribe the vacillating members of the party. Too little money is not enough!"
