Facts have proved that none of these people who can leave a great name in history are given for nothing. When you think you have controlled the situation, but in front of these historical gods, the momentum you have carefully built can be destroyed with just a flip of the hand. All reversed.
The Queen knows what you, Xiao Letian, want to gain from this state visit. You want to promote Eastern culture and increase your popularity through this dinner, and the Queen knows it very well.
Even your plan to open a restaurant in partnership with the Duke of Newx and try to make money from this mysterious spice, the Queen is also aware of it.
In the queen's heart, I can give you what you want, or not. All plots and tricks are nothing in the face of absolute strength. The queen only put Xiao Letian into a dilemma with a little test.
The queen doesn't care about the recipe. Although oriental food is wonderful, it is not addictive to the queen. After all, it is not an opium drug.
But the queen just wanted to test Xiao Letian, because this Eastern political newcomer was so dazzling. It almost became a subconscious move for a politician to find out the details of the other party, which was completely a conditioned reflex.
What I want is your attitude from Xiao Letian! Are you surrendering to me, or are you trying to be my equal? Where are your Xiao Letian's ambitions and bottom line?
These questions were slowly explored through trial and error.
Xiao Letian really encountered a problem. For him, the formula of MSG was not valuable, because it was just a whim when he was in the Mediterranean. After suddenly thinking about it, he asked Doctor Huang to make some to try. He had no intention of doing so. Too much hope.
Although the MSG industry can make money, do you expect this kind of business to rise a nation? This is simply wishful thinking. Without the profits of the MSG industry, the Chinese can still rise if they should.
So there is no pressure to hand over the formula.
Similarly, is Xiao Letian a stubborn person who cares about face, and would feel his dignity would be insulted if the Queen threatens to hand over the formula? And then desperately want revenge?
Please! In this world, being able to have the Queen personally insult someone is sometimes a privilege, and the Queen ignores most people.
This old woman's reputation and seniority are too high. She was in power at the age of eighteen and is now fifty years old. She has been in power from the Daoguang period to the Tongzhi period.
In all the countries in the world, how many monarchs have she witnessed ascending and abdicating the throne, and how many politicians have she witnessed with her own eyes the ups and downs?
It can be said that in the global political arena, the Queen is completely at the level of a grandmother. Even if your seniority humiliates you, no one would dare to laugh at you. Instead, she will be very envious.
Therefore, Xiao Letian would not be stingy with such a small recipe, no matter whether it was for convenience or face.
But what Xiao Letian is most worried about is actually the formula itself!
If Xiao Letian handed over the real formula and let the queen see that it was the cheapest kelp extract, then she would be surprised and completely see through Xiao Letian's true nature.
A scheming, daring, and unparalleled eloquent... gambler? Yes, he is such a gambler!
When the queen saw clearly the nature of Xiao Letian's gambler, all his previous strategies came to light. The queen could even guess the size of Xiao Letian's gambling chips in the future.
Xiao Letian doesn’t want such a revealing thing!
Seeing Xiao Letian hesitating, Emperor Tongzhi couldn't sit still. He smiled and said, "Master, didn't you say before that you still have a gift for the queen? In fact, what kind of gift has this recipe? Such a delicious soup This product will definitely satisfy the Queen’s appetite. The Queen’s health is our honor!”
Queen Victoria laughed immediately, "Haha... Dear Your Majesty, you are really good at talking. Do you want to help me with the remaining one hundred thousand pounds? Let me think about it... Regarding the assets and strength of the Chinese family, I still I’m very convinced that one hundred thousand pounds is just a small amount of money to the head of state, isn’t it?”
Hold! Xiao Letian suddenly cursed in his heart, you are just a pig teammate! I haven't decided whether to give it to you yet, so you just wiped out 100,000 pounds for me?
This person I raised is not a disciple, this person is purely an enemy!
what to do? what to do? How should one reject the queen? Are you going to give me a fake recipe? To get away with it by writing a fake recipe that is less reliable than refining an elixir?
No, absolutely not. There are many chemists in the UK, and any fake formula will be verified in the laboratory within three days.
This is how to do? Xiao Letian was very anxious. It seemed that this formula was really unsalvageable!
Just when the atmosphere at the scene was extremely strange, a chuckle suddenly came from the Queen's side: "Haha... Hahaha... Dear Her Majesty the Queen, it seems that our head of state is in a difficult situation? Isn't he reluctant to..."
The queen and all the guests were looking at Xiao Letian. The queen personally went to the battle to force the palace. Who dares to ruin the atmosphere at this critical moment? Too courageous!
But when she heard this voice, even the queen couldn't be impatient. Instead, she turned around and smiled, "Oh, my beautiful queen! You are right, I think the head of state is also reluctant to let go..."
It was the Queen of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Princess Sissi, who opened her mouth to destroy her aura! At the scene, she was the only one whose identity could keep pace with the Queen, Emperor Tongzhi and others.
Although the Austro-Hungarian Empire was far less powerful than Britain, the Habsburg dynasty was so powerful that even the Queen did not dare to underestimate it.
Princess Sissi glanced at Xiao Letian and said softly, "Your Majesty, there are some things that you can't force too much! If I heard you right, the head of state once said that this is his family's secret recipe?"
"Ah! Sometimes a family relies on some secrets to thrive until today. I can feel that this secret recipe contains the unique emotions of the head of state!"
"Perhaps there are many heartbreaking stories of blood and tears in it! With such a magical secret recipe, there will definitely be various tragedies and comedies surrounding him. Just look at the expression of the head of state..."
Princess Sissi's expression suddenly became much darker, and she said sadly, "In our hearts, this recipe may be just a unique delicacy... But in the heart of the head of state?"
"Oh, I think I have read too many novels... I always feel that this secret recipe may be soaked in the blood and life of the ancestors of the Führer!"
"Maybe there are really many relatives who lost their lives for this secret recipe!"
Princess Sissi shook her head, "Your Majesty the Queen! It's better not to force others into trouble..."
Holy shit! The gratitude in Xiao Letian's heart is as continuous as the surging river, and like the Yellow River flooding out of control!
Sadness card! Why didn't I think of it? The best way to break the situation at this moment is to play the tragedy card!
My goddess, if there were only you and me at this moment, I would really press you down on the grass and kiss you! You are the lucky star in my life!
