"Her Majesty is coming to No. 49 Portland Street, Xu Qing is grateful, please come in!" Xu Qing took the initiative to say. Pen ~ fun ~ pavilion www.biquge.info

Queen Victoria saw that although there were some preparations for the 49th Portland Avenue, there was no fanfare. It was even prepared to welcome the royal family, which made Queen Victoria very surprised, this Xu Qing was actually prepared, obviously knowing that she was coming, even in a private capacity, not in the political capacity of the country.

"You already knew I was coming?" Queen Victoria asked.

Xu Qing nodded and said, "If Her Majesty doesn't come, then I really have to suspect that the politicians in your country are all a bunch of rice buckets." There is no one more suitable than Her Majesty. Not only is there a private identity, but also a political identity is sufficient, and such an identity is the most suitable, not far away. ”

Queen Victoria took a deep breath, this Xu Qing actually expected this. In fact, the British idea is very simple, on the one hand, they want Xu Qing to give up this so-called patent, but they dare not publicly deprive it. You must know that this patent bill is accepted by all walks of life in the UK, and it is easy to deprive Xu Qing of his patent, but the consequences are not so wonderful, especially the rest of the scientists and capitalists who invest in science, all of them will be chilled.

So they planned to salute first and then soldier, and let the queen come and talk in a private capacity. But everyone knows the meaning behind this, although Queen Victoria came in a private capacity, but just like an old Chinese saying, the heavenly family has no selfish affairs, even if the queen comes in a private capacity in a foreign country, he naturally represents politics.

In this way, a politician comes in a private capacity, which is actually an act of covering his ears and stealing the bell. But you can't do anything yet, even if you tell you that I'm covering my ears and stealing the bell, what can you do? This kind of diplomatic situation is actually about covering up and stealing the bell, and it is clear that both sides have ideas, but it is still necessary to cover their ears and steal the bell.

"This Xu Qing is not easy to deal with! He had long anticipated the significance of this telephone, so it seems that it is really not so simple to ask him to voluntarily give up the patent of this telephone this time. I'm afraid that he already has an idea in his heart, and he doesn't know how to blackmail us in Britain! It's really troublesome this time, and I actually met such a shrewd guy! Queen Victoria lamented in her heart that it was really not easy to meet such a powerful guy.

"Your Majesty, please!" Xu Qing took the initiative to lead the way.

In the Legation's living room, Xu Qing and Queen Victoria sat on the sofa, a small table between them, apparently preparing to negotiate accordingly.

"Minister Xu Qing, I have come here to thank you this time. At that time, you took my daughter to Europe, and my daughter was very interested in you, and even said something that you would marry her in the future, right? Queen Victoria asked.

Xu Qing nodded and replied, "Yes, I said so, but I don't think Her Majesty will really take it seriously, right?" A little girl's words, Her Majesty shouldn't take it seriously, right? ”

Xu Qing thought to himself: "Hmph, looking at him left and right, he wants to compete for patience, right?" Where is it so easy? ”

Queen Victoria nodded and said, 'I won't take it seriously, but I miss my daughter a little.' “

Xu Qing took the initiative to take out a painting and said, "Your Majesty, this is the portrait I drew for the princess, and it is our oriental ink painting." I'm not a professional painter, but I think I can do it. ”

Xu Qing gave this painting to Queen Victoria, Queen Victoria rolled her eyes, this Xu Qing was really pretending to be pure. Xu Qingming knew why Queen Victoria came, but he still refused to face it directly, and still chose to pretend to be pure and dodge, as if he was very simple.

However, Queen Victoria has no good way, so she can only continue to follow Xu Qing and talk nonsense, anyway, this kind of thing is not suitable for direct clarification. Negotiating this kind of thing is the art of being a latecomer, and whoever makes the offer first will suffer some small losses.

Next, Xu Qing talked about a lot of things with Queen Victoria, but there was no "business", all of them were some daily life things. Mainly revolves around the matter of the eldest princess Victoria, this is actually very simple, both sides are competing with each other's psychological quality. In the process of this kind of negotiation, in fact, psychological quality is also a very important ability.

Perhaps most people think of diplomatic negotiations as too simplistic, thinking that diplomatic negotiations are also a manifestation of national strength. In fact, there are many ways to negotiate diplomacy, because no matter which country it is, it is impossible to truly dominate the world, and the country that can dominate the world does not exist, at least not in history, but only in fiction.

There are many ways to do this, and there are countless things to do in the world, so there is still a lot of room to talk about when it comes to real negotiations. However, how to obtain the maximum benefits for one's own country and to obtain the maximum benefits above the bottom line of the other party's acceptance is the most important embodiment of the psychological quality of the negotiators on both sides.

A person with good psychological quality has a stronger ability to resist pressure and can not give in first. If you give in first, it means that you are already in a weak position.

A trace of worry flashed on Queen Victoria's face, and she thought: "This Xu Qing is really cunning, and he is still calm at this time." He knew why I came, and he should have known that we in England would not allow him to hold this patent alone. He had known that I would be here in person, but he was still here and there to talk about him as if he was not in a hurry. Didn't he know that our British patent for this telephone was bound to win? ”

Queen Victoria also felt a little admiration for Xu Qing's psychological quality, since Xu Qingdu had already guessed the attitude of this Englishman, but he could still talk and laugh without pressure, and his psychological quality was obviously excellent. In this case, either the opponent has hole cards, or the psychological quality is very good.

Queen Victoria also has a little pressure, after all, Queen Victoria is not a career diplomat, and her psychological quality is obviously not as strong as Xu Qing, a career diplomat with more than ten years of experience.

"Queen Victoria, do you think this will put pressure on me? I know the details of you very well, but you don't know the details of our China at all. I want to blackmail you, it really doesn't have to be easy. But you want to blackmail me, and you don't know where to start. So don't worry, you're under more pressure, and it's hard for you to blackmail me at all. Xu Qing thought.

Xu Qing is the most fearless, because the situation in the UK is almost unilateral and transparent to Xu Qing, but for the UK, it still looks at China and does not know much at all. Even if there are a few rumors, but after a few hands, I don't know how many hands, and the credibility is very low.

Therefore, the British side is not very clear about how many hole cards Xu Qing has mastered and where Xu Qing's weaknesses are. On the contrary, Xu Qing knows Britain very well and knows what they will be afraid of and worry about, so that Xu Qing can do whatever he wants and not have to worry about anything.

In the end, Queen Victoria couldn't help herself and took the initiative to steer the conversation towards the telephone.

"Minister Xu Qing, you took my daughter to Europe, and as a mother, I miss my daughter very much. I've been thinking about how if there was something that could transmit voice from thousands of miles away, and even though I couldn't meet in person, it would be better than not being able to hear the voice! And Minister Xu Qing, the company in your hand happened to develop this telephone, which can be regarded as the fulfillment of one of our wishes! If we can lay a network of telephones in England, it will benefit our Great Britain! Queen Victoria said.

Xu Qing finally replied "suddenly": "Oh? Her Majesty is worried about this? You can rest assured, I have applied for a patent, and I will be able to invest in production soon, and I will definitely be able to open a telephone company at that time. I've always been very enthusiastic about Eurasia, so I'm sure I'll invest in the phone network for the benefit of the British people. ”

Queen Victoria suddenly had a black line on her face, and secretly scolded: 'This bastard is actually pretending to be stupid here. I don't believe you can't hear what I mean, and you still say that. Bastard, you actually want to blackmail me. What you say about Eurasian friendship is really a lie. If it were really Eurasian friendship, would you have made a bridge between the Bonapartes, Prussia and Russia? If you really want to be friendly with Eurasia, will you still take the opportunity to blackmail us Britain? Eurasian friendship, it's just a matter of deceiving those ordinary people, you are still pretending to be stupid and simple here in front of me, shameless! “

Of course, Queen Victoria is not easy to expose directly, and if she does so, she will tear her face.

"If Minister Xu Qing is allowed to invest like this, this may not be very convenient. When the time comes......" Victoria hadn't finished speaking, but Xu Qing quickly interrupted.

Xu Qing hurriedly replied: "Your Majesty, don't worry, I won't make too much wealth on this phone." I can even maintain the cost of business, I don't expect to make a lot of wealth, I just want to benefit the people of Europe, I will definitely invest more, but I will not get too much wealth in it. ”

Xu Qing still continues to pretend to be pure, as long as this Queen Victoria doesn't take the initiative to speak, then what is he in need of? Anyway, it's the British who are in a hurry, and they don't dare to sabotage the bill of this patent, so they can only hope that Xu Qing will take the initiative to give up this patent. The so-called whoever makes the price first suffers, of course, Xu Qing is not good to take the initiative to find out directly.

Although both sides know what is going on, whoever speaks first to find out about this kind of thing in negotiation will suffer a loss! This is already a recognized rule, although diplomacy is still about national strength in the end, but although national strength is important, this country has not reached the point of dominating the earth, so negotiation skills are still very important.

"Lord Xu and this Queen of England have been talking here for so long, although they know the purpose of the other party, they still pretend to be here, as if they don't know at all. It seems that the diplomacy between countries is really hypocritical. However, Lord Xu is so confident, and he will not fall behind in front of such a powerful queen, which is really amazing. Hu Ling, who was accompanying him, thought to himself.

came to the UK and lived for more than a year, Hu Ling knew the strength of the UK deeply, so she knew how difficult it was for Xu Qing to get along equally in front of such a big country and not fall behind. Ordinary people know the strength of Britain, and there are few Chinese who rush to talk nonsense in front of the lord of this country, or even reciprocal exchanges that do not fall behind, and this attitude is the real hero.

Queen Victoria's face was even more ugly, this Xu Qing has always been pretending to be stupid, and he does not hesitate to use this kind of nonsense to pretend to be stupid. Anyway, both sides knew what the other meant, but Xu Qing still tried his best to pretend to be pure, as if he really didn't know what was going on.

"It's really hard to meet such a shameless guy. Although he already knew it in his heart, he forcibly pretended not to know. It's disgusting to pretend like this, isn't it? Victoria was disgusted.

Xu Qing is really disgusting, this is completely forcibly pretending to be pure, only in this world has heard of forcibly pretending to be pure, but it is the first time I have seen forcibly pretending to be pure. Everyone is a peer, they are all engaged in politics and diplomacy, who can deceive whom? But both sides guessed each other's purpose, but Xu Qing was still forcibly pretending to be pure here, even if it was obviously impure, but he was still forcibly pretending to be pure, so cheeky, how shameless, made Queen Victoria also have a headache.

It's too helpless to meet such a shameless scoundrel, a diplomat who is very thick-skinned and forcibly pretends to be pure.

"I'm a little minister, I can be cheeky, you are the king of a country, the king of the most powerful country in the world, can you be shameless?" Xu Qing thought with a snicker.

Xu Qing's identity is also a minister, and he can be shameless. But Queen Victoria, as the king of the most powerful country in fact, can't be shameless! So Xu Qing dared to show his face and forcibly pretend to be pure, but Queen Victoria didn't dare!

"Minister Xu Qing, with one of your Chinese words, then we will also open the skylight and speak brightly. This is the world is so chaotic, you are pretending to be so simple here, who is it for? Queen Victoria finally couldn't help but say.

"Hahahaha...... Your Majesty, finally you can't hold your breath first! You are also the head of a country, if it spreads, you don't sound good, right? Xu Qing also replied with a laugh.
