Chapter 49 Chapter Five Basic Skills of Managerial Leadership

As mentioned earlier, Nurhachi, the founding emperor of the Qing Empire, was a person with a frighteningly high EQ. Similarly, He Shen also had an EQ and IQ that ordinary people could not match. At least he knew what kind of manager Qianlong needed.In other words, if you want to manage your boss well, then you must understand who your boss needs to manage him.All the ministers could not speak in front of Qianlong.Qianlong once said a word: There are no traitors or famous officials in this dynasty.What does that mean? There is only me, Qianlong, in this dynasty, and you are just little servants who work for me.It was this sentence that led to the tragedies in the lives of people like Liu Yong, because there is no need for famous ministers.Moreover, Qianlong clearly forbade the common people to give officials umbrellas or admire a certain official. If a certain official wins the hearts of the people, it means that he has not listened to the words of the emperor-the hearts of the people can only belong to the emperor.

Several cases handled by Qianlong were also described earlier.Qianlong's thinking is very intriguing. He has both the unruly side of an emperor and the barbaric and arrogant side of a primitive man.If you want to manage such a boss well and manage such a leader well, you must master this psychology; if you cannot master it, you can only be managed by him. During the Qianlong era, when Chinese and Western cultures collided for the first time, members of the British Parliament held a meeting and found a man named Marganey, and said to him: Our East India Company is going to open the Chinese market, and we must send a People go to convince the emperor of China, we plan to send you, don't worry about the cost, all will be reimbursed by the East India Company, spend whatever you want.

In this way, Margani came to China. In theory, he should not have met Qianlong, but he did.How did he meet Qianlong? The whole process of Margani's meeting with Qianlong was full of wonderful coincidences.The governor of Guangdong was the first to hear the news. Margarni submitted the letter of credence to the governor of Guangdong. The governor of Guangdong found a translator to translate the letter of credence.The governor of Guangdong said to the translator: You have translated it wrong. England is a small barbarian country. It has to pay tribute. How can it be considered equal?As soon as the translator understood it, he changed the letter of credence into a confession form, declaring that Margani came to kneel down for me.The governor of Guangdong saw that this was good, so he immediately submitted it.

Qianlong was overjoyed when he saw it, and immediately ordered Margani to have an audience, and at the same time sent a team of experts and scholars.What team of experts and scholars?The team that is most familiar with the etiquette of kneeling and kowtowing went to teach Margani how to kowtow.After this team of experts and scholars met the British envoys, they told them how to kneel and knock their heads.Margani was taken aback and said: Come on, brother, have you made a mistake? Your Chinese empire does not respect people and treats people as slaves. We in England are not like this. We also have emperors, Queen Victoria, but our emperors serve their subjects. The personality and self-esteem of everyone exists, and it is impossible for us to do such a degrading thing.

Guess how this team of experts and scholars reported to Qianlong?The team of experts and scholars reported that Margani had learned the etiquette of kneeling after some training by us, and we successfully completed the task.Why do experts and scholars report this way?First, he dared not tell the truth. Second, he said that after completing the task, he could hand over Malgany to the next officials, and he could throw this hot potato to others. As a result, this group of foreign devils who couldn't kneel down were passed to He Shen like drumming flowers, and He Shen turned around and ran away when he saw the situation.In the end, there was really no way, so He Shen went to tell Qianlong.After Qianlong heard it, he didn't blame He Shen, but laughed, and then secretly wrote a letter to the reception official, saying that he must use clever methods to dial the other party secretly, and make the other party kneel no matter what.

During this negotiation, Margani was forced to be impatient, and said a word: OK!We can kneel, but all of you must also kneel to the head of our Queen. At this time, the local officials had nothing to do, and issued an order: expel the British envoy.Since you don't submit to my celestial dynasty, I won't see you. The British envoy Margani could only pack his luggage and was rolled up, ready to leave China. When they reached the gate of Beijing, the envoy chased after them and told them that Emperor Qianlong could receive them. They did not need to kneel, but only had to point on one knee. It is enough to show respect for Qianlong's power.In this way, Margarni and the others finally met Qianlong and offered business conditions. This was the first collision between Chinese civilization and advanced Western civilization.

Here comes the question: Isn't Emperor Qianlong very fierce, why can he accept the envoy without kneeling?You can check the history books. It says that the British envoy was very barbaric at the beginning, and he resolutely refused to kneel.Our history says so. What Qianlong needs is the image and title of a Mingjun, so who will bear all the bad things?friend!I don't hesitate to do anything for my friends, but it's just a few words of scolding, which is trivial.But some people couldn't stand this, and asked Liu Yong if he would like it?Liu Yong is definitely not happy; ask Ji Xiaolan if he is willing?Ji Xiaolan is not willing either; is He Shen willing?He Shen is willing!He Shen knew the most secret needs of his boss. What Emperor Qianlong wanted was not a capable person, but a person who would bear the burden of hard work, stand up for him, and take the scolding for him. Therefore, since He Shen had a close relationship with Qianlong, After the contact, he played the role of Qianlong's shield without hesitation.Moreover, his EQ and IQ are super high, he will not be used as a shield for one thing, and then be plotted against.

Heshen's EQ is higher than Qianlong's, and his IQ is also higher than Qianlong's. This is a basic principle of boss management.If your emotional intelligence is lower than that of your boss, then you should stop early.The most basic skill of boss management, the first is that you have to know what your boss's psychological desire is.Desires are not needs. Needs are simple, but desires are difficult to capture.The second is that your emotional intelligence must be high enough, at least higher than your boss, and it will not work if it is lower.The third is that your IQ must be sufficient.Among these few items, if one is missing, then there will only be knowledge of how your boss manages you, and there will never be your skills on how to manage your boss.
