In today's negotiation, they returned with a great defeat.
It’s not like the Yang family has never participated in negotiations, and it’s not like they don’t have experience in this area.
However, they have experience in negotiation but no experience in dealing with Xu Qing.
Generally speaking, when negotiating between two countries, both parties first exchange a few pleasantries, such as chatting about the friendship between brothers and good neighbors, and then care about the customs and customs of your country and try to bring the distance between the two parties as close as possible. People in the Central Plains are like this.
After you are familiar with the sentence, get to the point step by step.
Everyone is in the officialdom, and these are also basic rules.
If you don't go straight to the point, it won't be too abrupt.
But I don’t know where this stupid young man came from. He started out doing business and kept talking about buying and selling, but later he got discounted.
If Princess Yongle hadn't been there, Yang Mingyuan would have broken his bones!
You can't refute him yet. Once you refute him, just say: Why don't you report it to the official...
How could such a weirdo be born in the world?
The most important thing is that this person keeps talking to himself. Even if they want to take him in the direction of politics, he is just talking about business. If you want to lead the conversation, you have to look at him.
Should I follow you or not?
They are very good at handling political affairs, but none of them have ever done anything in the business world!
Since ancient times, scholars have been engaged in agriculture, industry and commerce. How can they do business?
But when Xu Qing was negotiating with them, he had an expression on his face like "No one knows how to do business better than me."
In the envoy's room
Yang Mingzhi was sitting in front of the table in the room drinking tea, but the tea cup in his hand was constantly rippling. It was obvious that his heart was not peaceful.
After encountering such a scoundrel, I believe that no one would be at peace in his heart.
Yang Mingyuan, who was standing next to the table, looked at Yang Mingzhi and patted the table and said, "Brother! Are we just going to sit back and wait for death and let the Marquis of Anding County lead us?"
Yang Mingzhi said: "No matter what you tell him, he will talk to you about business. What can you do?"
Yang Mingyuan said angrily: "It's really disgusting! Our Yang family has been a noble family for a hundred years, how can we know these despicable merchants' ways? How can the important affairs of the family and the country be measured by the affairs of merchants?"
Yang Mingzhi sighed and said: "But we, Zhou State, really want to do this business with him. No matter how many beautiful words we say in the officialdom, they will always come back. But he goes straight to the point and goes straight to the point. And the most terrifying thing about Xu Qing is
The place is not here yet. Although my Yang family is not engaged in business, we have seen what business is like, and the most troublesome thing about him is that you can never predict what he will say next."
When Yang Mingyuan heard this, he immediately felt the same.
You say he is insincere, but he tells you how to attract customers in business.
You said he was extorting money, but he just threw the question back and bluntly said that he had never seen a defeated country that was so difficult to serve.
You said you loved him and changed your mind, but he simply stopped pretending and said bluntly, how about you report it to the official...
Where the hell should they go to report to the official?
There is still a government that can handle disputes between two people, but which government can handle disputes between two countries?
Yang Mingyuan gritted his teeth and said: "Then we can't just let him continue to run rampant. Now we have just finished discussing the compensation issue for ordinary soldiers, and the city and the generals have not yet begun negotiations. If this business continues to go according to his wishes, I, Zhou, will
How much money should the country pay? How should the people view our Zhou family?"
Yang Mingzhi said: "He is the deputy envoy of the Chu State Imperial Court...the deputy envoy's deputy. What can we do? If we have the final say with whom we talk, do you think I don't want to change the conversation? Now the Chu State Imperial Court sent out
A minister of household affairs who is best at settling accounts and a dean of state business who is best at doing business, their court has no intention of doing good at all!"
Yang Mingyuan said: "You can talk to anyone, but I can't stand the vicious tongue of this hateful person."
Yang Mingzhi glanced at him helplessly and said, "If you can't bear it, can I bear it?"
Yang Mingyuan thought for a moment and became determined: "In this case, let's just not do anything and keep doing it, so that the Marquis of Anding County will never be able to come to the negotiation table again!"
Yang Mingzhi's expression changed when he heard this, and he said sternly: "Quickly put away this dangerous idea of yours! Now we are the defeated party and have no choice but to seek peace with the Chu State. It would be better if you assassinated an important minister of the Chu State without being discovered. Once
Have you ever thought about the consequences of finding out? The power of the Chu Kingdom’s divine object they call the Sky Thunder can’t even protect armor. If you anger them, have you considered the consequences? What if they do it again?
Raising troops, my Yang family will be nailed to the pillar of shame at that time!"
Yang Mingzhi knew that this brother of his had an upright temperament and said whatever he thought. Although he majored in Confucianism and Taoism, he also dabbled in martial arts. Although he could not compare with the military commanders who had been on the battlefield for a long time, he would definitely be able to defeat an Anding County Marquis.
More than enough.
But if you don't want others to know, you have to do it yourself. If he really did such a thing and was found out in the end, then the Yang family would be in ruins and they would not be able to get back to the country and the emperor would take action.
Yang Mingyuan looked at Yang Mingzhi and said, "Brother, calm down, I didn't say kill him."
Yang Mingzhi asked: "What do you mean?"
Yang Mingyuan said: "As long as he will not appear on the negotiation table again, for example, the Marquis of Anding County accidentally broke his leg..."
Yang Mingzhi thought about it: "What if he is physically disabled but strong in spirit?"
Yang Mingyuan sneered and said: "Absolutely not. I accidentally asked the officials of the Chu State. Do you know how these officials evaluated the Marquis of Anding County?"
Yang Mingzhi guessed: "An important minister of the country?"
Yang Mingyuan said: "Just one word, lazy..."
"Lazy?" Yang Mingzhi asked doubtfully: "Even if he is lazy, how lazy can he be?"
Yang Mingyuan said: "The law of Chu State states that if a person fails to go to court early on time, he will be punished by not being able to go to court for ten days."
Yang Mingzhi: "What then?"
Yang Mingyuan: "Then he seemed to have found a loophole in the law. Unless their emperor personally issued an order, otherwise he would not go to the morning court at all. The punishments are still accumulating until now..."
Yang Mingzhi: "..."
Can the law still be used like this?
Unwilling to give up, Yang Mingzhi asked: "If he doesn't go to court for such a long time, isn't he afraid that the party members he cultivated in the court will be divided up?"
Yang Mingzhi said: "He is a person who is not within the bureaucracy of the Chu State at all. He does not need to contact any bureaucrat in the court, and at the same time he does not harm the interests of any courtiers. Moreover, both the civil and military parties are rushing to get him. As far as I know,
You know, the only party member he has a close friendship with is Prince Xian, but Prince Xian..."
