Legend of Xiangjiang Tycoon

Chapter 160: Reception (four)

"Carl, let me tell you one more piece of news. Her Majesty the Queen is going to award you the Order of Lord Commander in recognition of your contribution in this hijacking time." said the Duke of Bedford.

"Prince Commander Medal?" Li Zhiwen asked suspiciously.

"Yes, the Noble Commander Medal belongs to the second rank of the Order of the British Empire. Above it is the Noble Grand Cross, and below it are the Commander Medal, the Officer Medal and the Yuan Zuor Medal."

"In the Order of the British Empire, only those who have won the Grand Cross of the Knights and the Commander of the Knights can be considered as knights."

"Your Majesty has broken a lot this time. You must know that only citizens of the Empire are eligible for these two levels." The Duke of Bedford said cautiously.

When Li Zhiwen heard the introduction of the Duke of Bedford, he understood that Bao Yugang and Shao Yifu of Hong Kong had been awarded the Commander's Medal a few years ago, and the Queen of England intends to award Li Zhiwen one grade higher than Bao Yugang and Shao Yifu. .

In Hong Kong, many people call Shao Yifu and Bao Yugang as Sir Shao and Sir Bao. In fact, this name is incorrect.

If Li Zhiwen is awarded the Order of Noble Commander, it just so happens that only Li Zhiwen is the name of Sir Li in the Hong Kong business community.

Li Zhiwen thought for a while, and then said to the Duke of Bedford: "Duke of Bedford, thank you for informing me, I am very happy."

"It's nothing, just a little news, let's go, Carl, I guess you don't know anyone at the reception, so I will take you around." The Duke of Bedford said.

"Lord Duke, thank you for taking care of me!" Li Zhiwen said.

This time, Li Zhiwen’s gratitude is sincere. After all, not everyone will refer you to you as a junior.

"Thank you or not, let's go!" The Duke of Bedford walked towards a group of people after speaking.

"Carl, this is the Duke of Norfolk, Milan Francis Stabrett Fecharen Horford." said the Duke of Bedford.

Li Zhiwen's head buzzed when he heard such a long name, but he came back to his senses for the first time and said: "Mr. Howard, hello!"

"Carl, this is Mr. Babia Rivera, Minister of Finance." said the Duke of Bedford.

"Mr. Rivera, hello!"

"Carl, this is Kid Bergman, the president of Barclays Bank."

"Mr. Bergman, hello!"

......

Many of the introductions of the Duke of Bedford were taken in one go. After all, Li Zhiwen had nothing to do with them at this time.

Many people who were introduced regarded Li Zhiwen as the son and nephew of the Duke of Bedford, and the Duke of Bedford didn't say much about it. Li Zhiwen was happy to not pierce him.

"Carl, you must know this gentleman. This is the Governor of Hong Kong, Mr. Merrihau. It can be said that he is your parent official. He will report on his duties here, otherwise you can only meet him in Hong Kong. You can have more with him. Be close and close." The Duke of Bedford said with a smile.

Li Zhiwen heard the introduction of the Duke of Bedford and hurriedly stretched out his hand and said: "Mr. Mai Lihao, hello, I am Li Zhiwen, a native of Hong Kong and the chairman of Kylin Media Group."

After hearing Li Zhiwen's introduction, Mai Lihao got the number right. After all, Kylin Media Group is also one of the largest companies in Hong Kong, and its newspapers and magazines are even more outstanding.

So Mai Lihao also enthusiastically shook Li Zhiwen's hand and responded: "I have heard of Mr. Li's name for a long time, and I have never been able to see it. I don't want us to see it in China. Mr. Li's business is very big."

Merriho is the same as the people introduced by the Duke of Bedford now. He doesn't know the identity of Li Zhiwen, but he knows that he is definitely not a nephew, but a partner or a deeper relationship.

"You both work in Hong Kong. There are a lot of topics, so I won't bother you. It just so happens that I also have a few old friends here. Let's talk." The Duke of Bedford said.

As soon as the Duke of Bedford finished speaking, Grace Russell said: "Dad, you can talk to your old men, I won't go there, it's too boring, I'd better stay with Carl and Ping Si. NS."

Pingsi is the English name of He Chaoqiong.

The Duke of Bedford pointed to Grace Russell and said, "Grace, don't be big or small. Those are your uncles. Be polite."

"I see, Dad, go quickly, they are all watching you." Grace Russell said.

"Yes, uncle, you go, Grace, we can take care of it." Li Zhiwen said.

Li Zhiwen's move was to disrupt the situation in front of Mai Lihao and let Mai Lihao guess Li Zhiwen's British identity.

The words of Li Zhiwen made the Duke of Bedford a stunned, staring at Li Zhiwen for a while, and Li Zhiwen always smiled to face him. Regarding Li Zhiwen's careful thinking, the Duke of Bedford did not say much and left here.

And Li Zhiwen's uncle did make Mai Lihao suspicious of Li Zhiwen's identity. He no longer regarded him as a Hong Kong businessman and a hero, but reconsidered Li Zhiwen's identity.

The intersection between Mai Lihao and Li Zhiwen is only Hong Kong, so the two chats are all based in Hong Kong. From the analysis of Hong Kong's political, economic and cultural aspects, Li Zhiwen's many views make Mai Lihao refreshing.

"Mr. Mai Lihao, Hong Kong's public utilities are too unfriendly to residents and businesses." Li Zhiwen complained.

Hearing Li Zhiwen's words, Mai Lihao said with some doubts: "Mr. Li Zhiwen. Public utilities in Hong Kong have been like that since ancient times, and they have never been changed. I think it's not bad."

Li Zhiwen fell down on the bitter waters: "Mr. Mai Lihao, I don’t talk about other things, just say buses. China Bus and Kowloon Bus are the monopolists of Hong Kong buses. It is still operating there, which is very dangerous. If I master the bus company, I must re-board a batch of buses for each line."

Li Zhiwen's words made Mai Lihao understand that Li Zhiwen had plans to acquire the bus company.

So Mai Lihao said: "Mr. Li, you also know that both Kowloon Motor Bus and China Bus are listed companies. They can only be resolved on the stock market. The government has no right to intervene in the affairs of listed companies."

"Mr. Mai Lihao means that as long as it is a public utility, as long as it is in a listed company, it can be resolved on the stock market. Will the Governor's Office interfere in the acquisition of a listed company?" Li Zhiwen secretly changed the concept.

McLehau did not notice that Li Zhiwen had secretly changed the concept, so he said: "Of course, as long as the acquisition is legal, the Governor's Office will not intervene, but, after all, they are public utilities, so they must maintain their listing status."

"Of course, public utilities must remain listed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ This is what it should be." Li Zhiwen said.

Then Li Zhiwen went on to say: "Mr. Mai Lihao, now Hong Kong's public utilities are not only bus companies, but also power companies. Electricity prices are getting more and more expensive. There is no attitude of public utilities at all. Water companies have magazines for many of the tap water they supply."

Hearing Li Zhiwen’s complaint, Mai Lihao was also a little annoyed. He said: "Mr. Li, they are all public utilities, and they are all listed companies. The government has no right to interfere in normal economic activities."

McLehau did not expect that Li Zhiwen’s real purpose was Hongkong Electric. After all, Hongkong Electric is a company with a market value of 5 billion Hong Kong dollars. In Hong Kong, the only company that can come up with so much cash is the British-funded consortium. It's also possible, but Bao Yugang, the big man in the Chinese capital, was looking at the Wharf at this time, but he didn't have the time to control other things.

"Of course, Hong Kong is a free trade port. I have no doubt about it." Li Zhiwen smiled and took out two glasses of red wine from the waiter beside him. One of them was handed to Mai Lihao.

"Mr. Mai Lihao, cheers!" Li Zhiwen said.

"Cheers!" Mai Lihao said.
