Chapter 15

After hearing Lu Shi's point of view, everyone pondered.

Buckle said: "So, Mr. Lu believes that the United States is far less powerful than it thinks?"

This question is very difficult to answer,

On the one hand, the British think that the United States is a staunch ally;

On the other hand, the British look down on the United States, because the independence of the United States has benefited from the British and French struggle for hegemony. If it weren't for France, who took advantage of it, the militiamen in the United States could not beat the British army at all.

In short, this is a very contradictory sentiment.

The trend of thought in the UK is so distorted. As an international student, Lu Shi should keep his views as much as possible.

There was a hint of cunning in his eyes, and he asked the other party: "Mr. Buckle, have you ever heard the saying, 'Your competitiveness depends on the opponent you choose'?"

Buckle scolded the little fox inwardly, and then replied: "I haven't heard of it. But it's not difficult to guess its meaning from the words."

Lu Shi nodded,

"So, is the United States strong or weak? You don't need to ask me this question. Instead, you should ask all the British gentlemen here. Because Britain and the United States are in a relationship of cooperation and competition, the essence of insulting the United States is insulting Britain, right?"

He has already thought about it, any questions that may fall into the pit will not be answered directly,

When it comes to Tai Chi, the Chinese are the ancestors.

Buckle and Doyle couldn't help but look at each other, feeling extremely depressed.

After a while of silence, Barker spoke again: "Then let's get back to the topic just now. Regarding Britain's self-confidence, Mr. Lu, what do you think?"

This is a heartless...

Lu Shi was amused, and decided to tease the other party,

He said: "I heard that the International Alliance of Women's Suffrage Societies was established in the UK three years ago?"

Feminism!

good!

Lu Shi finally showed his liberal fox tail!

Everyone at the scene was excited.

Scott frowned slightly, thinking that the topic of women's rights was too dangerous, and it was best not to touch it.

He coughed lightly and said, "Mr. Lu, don't talk about things you don't understand."

This hint was too naked, and Buckle immediately realized that what Lu Shi was going to say next must have not been reported to Cooper and Scott in advance, and it could not have been prepared in advance.

This situation is the easiest to give away.

Barker interrupted: "Mr. Scott, today's salon is for everyone to speak freely, how can you block people's mouths?"

With that said, Buckle walked to the phonograph and put on the record.

Accompanied by elegant classical music, the scene did have a bit of a salon atmosphere.

Lu Shi took the time to tidy up his clothes, and said casually, "In 1890, the U.S. state of Wyoming already allowed women to have the right to vote in local elections. But the UK... oh..."

Buckle flushed with excitement,

explain!

go on!

He almost opened Lu Shi's mouth to let Lu Shi continue to spout left-wing remarks.

Unexpectedly, Lu Shi suddenly shook his head and changed the topic: "That's not right, who said that the American system is advanced? Can you gain self-confidence by learning blindly?"

The so-called "two mouths of the media\

,"On the positive side, the UK learns from the advanced and dares to admit its shortcomings, which is a manifestation of self-confidence;

On the other hand, the fact that the UK does not allow other countries to define what is advanced is also a manifestation of self-confidence.

The eerie silence in the room,

Buckle opened his mouth wide, as if he could swallow two salted duck eggs.

Sudden,

"Ahahahahahahahaha!"

Scott couldn't help a burst of laughter.

What could be better than being editor-in-chief of The Manchester Guardian than seeing the editor-in-chief of The Times deflated?

It's so worth it to be able to participate in this Laoshizi salon with Lu Shi today!

Scott glanced at Buckle like a clown, and said to himself that this old boy did not take any advantage by singing, reciting, fighting, and now he has almost used all eighteen martial arts. It's time, just let him stay cool,

He said to Lu Shi: "Mr. Lu, I appreciate your understanding of some methodologies on the rise of the United States, and I would like to invite you to write for the Manchester Guardian."

As soon as the voice fell, someone beside him also said: "Mr. Lu, you can consider the "Daily Telegraph."

His name was John Le Sage, editor-in-chief of The Daily Telegraph,

The "Daily Telegraph" was founded in 1855 and published by the Telegraph Newspaper Company. As the largest-selling one of several national "high-end" daily newspapers in the UK, it is the mouthpiece of the Conservative Party.

Saatchi is going to poach the wall in public.

Scott's eyes flashed, and he said in a low and dangerous tone: "Old John, the "Daily Telegraph" has a compact layout and extensive content, and its articles are shorter than "The Times" and "Manchester Guardian". Mr. Lu’s editorial must be a tome, so it’s a bit unacceptable to you, right?”

Sage sneered,

"Unaccustomed to the environment? If you want to adapt to the environment, then Mr. Lu's article is most suitable for the "Financial Times."

This is a sarcasm.

In modern times, the "Financial Times" is undoubtedly one of the most professional newspapers in the world. It focuses on large articles, and its readers are mostly elites.

But in Britain in 1900, this kind of professional newspaper was only third-rate, or even not in the mainstream.

Sa Qi said to Lu Shi: "Mr. Lu, we can publish a column for your article."

This invitation is very sincere.

I have to say that Saatchi is indeed number one.

In the world of great controversy, he was in charge of the "Daily Telegraph" from 1888 to 1923, a full 36 years, not worse than Scott at all,

Such a person has good eyesight.

At this moment, he has already seen that Lu Shi is neither conservative nor free.

Because when Lu Shi discussed feminism, he was more like a fun person from the perspective of a bystander, or a pure utilitarian, so he could try to win him over.

Seeing that Lu didn't reply, Sa Qi added another fire,

"An editorial, 30 pounds."

Everyone gasped,

30 pounds! ?

A senior writer from the Palace of Westminster is probably at this price.

What a thousand dollars to buy a horse bone!

Lu Shi took a deep look at Sa Qi, secretly startled in his heart,

I can really fool around by relying on the foresight of the traversers, but in terms of resourcefulness and courage, I am afraid that I may not necessarily have an advantage compared with the group of top people in 1900, so I must be extremely careful in the future.

On the other hand, Scott was also a little impatient,

He said: "We in the Manchester Guardian offer £35 for an article."

Both sides are on the bar.

Lu Shi didn't want to be roasted on the fire, but it's even more impossible to refuse to write at this time,

He pondered for a moment, walked up to Scott, and asked in a low voice, "Mr. Scott, can I write for both sides at the same time?"

Scott frowned thoughtfully.

For a long time, he looked at Sachs,

The latter seemed to understand, paused slightly, nodded slowly, then got up and said: "Mr. Lu, editor-in-chief Scott, we will discuss specific matters later. Excuse me."

Holding his bowler hat in his right hand, he bowed apologetically and left the room slowly.

Everyone was stunned,

Someone muttered softly: "Sharon...uh...is the salon over?"

With these words, their eyes were all locked on Doyle.

Isn't today's protagonist Sherlock Holmes?
