China's Warring States Period. The powerful Kingdom of Qin attacked the Kingdom of Zhao.

After the first battle between the two kingdoms, the king of the Zhao Kingdom sought out two important ministers in the kingdom to discuss countermeasures.


The king asked the first minister. Today we fought a small defeat, but if we mobilize the nation's military to fight back, do you think there is a chance of victory?

The first minister answered. I think we have no advantage, so we should now study how to negotiate with the Kingdom of Qin.


At this time the second minister spoke.

I also agree with the views of the first minister.

But we have to negotiate with the Kingdom of Qin, we have to consider the other side's ideas first.


My king, if you are the king of the Qin Kingdom and you face an opponent whose strength is not as good as yours, will you retain your strength, or will you attack with all your strength?

The king answered. I think if I were the king of the Qin Kingdom. I will attack with all my strength.


The second minister said at this time. I also agree with your judgment.

The Kingdom of Qin had the certainty that they would win, and they didn't have to agree to the request of a kingdom that was weaker than themselves.

So I suggest that before the negotiation, we should send two ambassadors, one to visit the Kingdom of Chu and the other to visit the Kingdom of Wei.


The Kingdom of Qin will definitely know this news.

In this way, the king of the Qin Kingdom will think that our three kingdoms are about to form an alliance to resist the Qin Kingdom.

Only at that point in time can we negotiate with the Kingdom of Qin to obtain better conditions for our kingdom.


The king of the Zhao Kingdom finally did not adopt the second minister's suggestion.

He decided to send an ambassador directly to the Kingdom of Qin for negotiations.

The result was as expected by the second minister. The result of this negotiation failed.


After the negotiation broke down, the Kingdom of Qin mobilized all the troops to attack the Kingdom of Zhao, and the Kingdom of Zhao failed miserably this time.

Since then, the Kingdom of Zhao gradually went to extinction.


This idiom is used to describe an all-out attack that does not retain strength.


Dear friend, what inspiration or thoughts did you have after hearing this story.

Before you negotiate with others, do you think about it from the standpoint of others? Do you think if the king of the Zhao Kingdom adopts the opinion of the second minister, this negotiation will be successfully concluded?

I hope this story will give you some new gains.

中國的戰國時代。強大的秦王國攻打趙王國。

兩個王國第一對戰之後,趙王國的國王找了王國內的兩個重要的大臣來商討對策。


國王問第一個大臣。今天我們打了一場小敗仗,但我們若是調動全國的軍力反擊,你覺得有打勝仗的機會嗎。

第一個大臣回答。我認為我們沒有優勢,所以我們現在就應該研究如何跟秦王國談判。


這時候第二個大臣說話了。

我也認同第一個大臣的看法。

但是我們要與秦王國進行談判,我們要先考慮對方的想法。


我的國王啊,如果你是秦王國的國王,你面對一個實力比不上你的對手,你會保留實力嗎,還是你會全力進攻呢。

國王回答。我認為如果我是秦王國的國王。我會全力進攻。


第二個大臣這時候說。我也認同你的判斷。

秦王國有著一定會勝利的把握,他們沒必要去答應一個比自已弱小的王國的要求。

所以我建議我們在談判之前,應該先派出兩位大使,一位去拜訪楚王國,另一位去拜訪魏王國。


秦王國一定會知道這個消息。

如此一來,秦王國的國王便會認為我們三個王國,即將組成一個聯盟共同去抵抗秦王國。

我們在那個時間點、再與秦王國進行談判,才能爭取到對我們王國比較好的條件。


趙王國的國王最後沒有採納第二個大臣的建議。

他決定直接派出大使去秦王國進行談判。

結果果然就像第二個大臣所料想。這個談判結果失敗了。


談判破裂後,秦王國便調動所有的軍隊進攻趙王國,趙王國這次慘敗。

趙王國更從此之後,逐漸走向滅亡。


這句成語被用來形容不保留實力的全力進攻。


親愛的朋友,你聽完這個故事有怎樣的啟發或有怎樣的想法呢。

你在與別人談判之前,有先站在別人的立場去想嗎?你覺得若是趙王國的國王採納第二個大臣的意見,這場談判會順利達成呢?

我期待這故事能讓你產生一些新的收穫。
