Rebirth of the Strongest Tycoon

In the office, Xia Yu smiled and drank tea with a calm expression.

After listening to Xia Yu's calm remarks, Elena said happily: "Xia Yu, in fact, based on your contribution to the United Kingdom, the royal family should have crowned you a long time ago. Although it is a little late, it is finally here."

"In the future, do I have to call you Sir Xia?"

Elena blinked her beautiful big eyes and looked at Xia Yu playfully.

Although her father was a duke and his rank was much higher than the knighthood the royal family wanted to confer on Xia Yu, she was still sincerely happy for Xia Yu, because it represented the royal family's recognition of Xia Yu.

Xia Yu stroked Elena's hand and joked, "Elena, what am I going to call you, my lady?"

Elena blushed, looked out the door with a guilty conscience, and found that the door of the office was still closed, so she relaxed.

She gave Xia Yu a provocative look and said arrogantly, "It doesn't matter what you said, you have to ask my father if he agrees."

Xia Yu smiled, hugged Elena into his arms, and said domineeringly, "Your father has to agree if he doesn't agree. Can the world find a second son-in-law for such a good son-in-law?"

After speaking, Xia Yu didn't wait for the shy Elena to answer, and lowered his head directly, catching the soft and warm XX.

After a long time, Xia Yu raised his head again, looking at Elena, whose pretty face was rosy and her eyes were blurred, like a delicate rose waiting to be picked, and a sense of satisfaction rose in her heart.

Xia Yu's fiery gaze made Elena's body go soft and she couldn't feel it. Her intuition told her that if Xia Yu was allowed to continue, more things were likely to happen.

Therefore, Elena, who had regained some sanity, reluctantly broke free from Xia Yu's arms, tidied up her shirt, and took the initiative to stir up a topic to divert Xia Yu's attention.

"Xia Yu, are you planning to accept the title of the royal family?"

Xia Yu smiled and nodded and said: "Of course, even if I abandon the assets of the United Kingdom, it is impossible for me to abandon you. Since I am destined to have a deeper connection with the United Kingdom, it will be much more convenient to accept the title of the royal family. It's not precious."

Although she knew that Xia Yu was deliberately coaxing her, women, all the same, liked to listen to the sweet words of their loved ones. Elena was so happy, and her gaze towards Xia Yu became more tender and admiring.

Closer to home.

As Xia Yu said, the title of jazz is not precious, and here we have to mention the British honor system.

The British honor system is particularly complex, and the rest will not be mentioned much, just the distinction between lords and jazz.

Lord is an honorary title for the fifth-level aristocracy of British princes, princes and sons. In fact, there is no such title as Lord, which is a blind spot for many people.

In addition to the hereditary nobles since ancient times, almost all the nobles in the UK are life-long nobles, and the barons in the life-long nobles and hereditary nobles are of the same grade, so they also enjoy the honorary title of Lord.

But with the Jazz, there is a clear difference.

In the rank of the honor system, a jazz is a class lower than a baron and higher than a gentleman. Like a gentleman and a baronet, it does not belong to the nobility.

The Queen of England can award knighthoods to anyone from any country.

But only the people of the Queen of England, including British nationals and some nationals of the Commonwealth of Nations, have the right to enjoy the title of "Sir".

For example, Kimchi Lee is a Korean citizen, and the Queen of England can grant him a knighthood of the British Empire, but Kimchi Lee cannot call himself Sir Kimchi Lee because he is not loyal to the Queen of England.

Therefore, foreigners who have contributed to the United Kingdom are almost all awarded knighthoods, not noble titles. Even if the title of nobility is granted, the recipient cannot use the title of nobility because he is not loyal to the Queen of England.

However, Xia Yu's words are Chinese with dual nationalities of the United Kingdom and the United States. When he was in Xiangxiangjiang, he had the status of a British national (overseas) by default, and he was legally a subject of the Queen of England, so once he accepted the title of the Queen of England, in addition to other than the title,

Noble or knight titles may also be used.

It is okay for others to call him Sir Xia.

However, Xia Yu is "people in Cao Ying's heart in Han". Even if he accepts the title of the Queen of England, he intends to let others call him "Mr. Xia" instead of "Sir Xia", unless he joins the British aristocracy later. At the meeting, he can only use this title.

...

three days later.

Xia Yu entered Buckingham Palace in a formal suit, and found that in addition to Prince Philip and his wife, there were several dukes inside, which surprised him.

Carter Howard, Duke of Norfolk, Ian Campbell, Duke of Argyll, Robert Grosvenor, Duke of Westminster and Potter Philip Cavendish, Duke of Devonshire.

In addition to Duke Carter Howard, among the other three dukes, Xia Yu is slightly familiar with Duke Porter Philip Cavendish, because most of his equity in the Financial Times Group is from Porter Philip Cavendish. Bought from the Pearson Group in the hands of Duke Wendysh.

As for whether these dukes happened to be here, or whether they came here on purpose to witness, Xia Yu didn't know, and he didn't ask.

In the presence of everyone, the Queen of England held an award ceremony for Xia Yu, and personally put on Xia Yu the highest level of the Knight-level Grand Cross of the five ranks of the Knights Medal (both men and women are referred to as "GBE"), and the level is still On top of Bao Yugang, who was knighted the year before.

After Jian Yueqiang and Zhong Shiyuan, he became the third Chinese in Hong Kong to win the first-class knighthood and the highest honor of knighthood.

When he saw this medal, Xia Yu was only slightly surprised, and then he had some guesses about the deep meaning of the royal family awarding him such a high-level medal.

But he didn't care either, whether Britain was for a better life, or for psychological comfort, a mere jazz title could not hinder Xiangjiang's stability and money.

It can even be said that the royal family suddenly awarded him an honor, and to win over him further at this time is actually planning for the worst, which is a good thing for Xia Yu.

Therefore, Xia Yu was in a good mood all morning.

After the award ceremony, Xia Yu planned to leave, but Prince Philip invited him to play golf, and several other grand dukes would go.

In spite of the kindness, Xia Yu readily agreed.

Enjoyed a sumptuous lunch at Buckingham Palace, during which the queen also took the initiative to ask Xia Yu many things about Xiangjiang. Xia Yu's answer was both cautious and humorous, and some sensitive and profound topics were hit by him in Tai Chi. .

After lunch, the group boarded the royal family's Bentley motorcade and headed to the London Golf Club, 20 kilometers away. This is one of the top golf clubs in London. One of the best hilly courses in Europe.

During the chat, Xia Yu also learned that Prince Philip is also a major shareholder of this London golf club.

Led by major shareholders, everyone is a powerful person, and naturally enjoys super VIP treatment. Under the leadership of the staff, they went to the central area at the end of the scenery.

Standing on the hillside, the breeze is blowing, overlooking the pastoral scenery of nearly 700 acres, a quiet and peaceful atmosphere blows, giving people a whole-hearted enjoyment.

“This golf course is amazing!”

Xia Yu's admiration made the host Prince Philip, who was sorting out the equipment again, smiled happily.

"This golf club is considered the best in the world, Mr. Xia, I look forward to a pleasant afternoon from you."

"That is for sure!"

Xia Yu responded with a smile.

During the chat, six people began to form groups, each in a group of three, Xia Yu was in a group with Duke Ian Campbell and Duke Carter Howard, and Prince Philip was with Duke Robert Grosvenor and Potter Philip Carr. The Duke of Vendish.

Although Xia Yu is the youngest, his golf skills are not necessarily inferior to anyone else's. However, in this entertainment atmosphere and in a social game, he didn't intend to be in the limelight. After a few high-profile moments, he became casual.

After playing for a while, at halftime, Duke Ian Campbell, who was familiar with a lot, walked up to Xia Yu and took out a very beautiful invitation letter.

Xia Yu took it over, and Duke Ian Campbell's gentle voice sounded in his ears.

"Sir Xia, in three days' time I will be holding a rite of passage for my child, Tokuhir Ian Campbell, and I hope you can come!"

Xia Yu's eyes were full of surprise, and his face was full of smiles. He nodded and smiled: "Thank you Sir Campbell for the grand invitation, I will definitely participate."

Duke Carter Howard came over and said to Xia Yu, "Sir Xia, you can go with me when the time comes, and Elena and Henry will also come along."

"Oh?"

Xia Yu raised his brows and looked at Duke Carter Howard somewhat unexpectedly.

Without waiting for Duke Carter Howard to answer, Duke Ian Campbell smiled to explain Xia Yu's confusion.

"Sir Xia, you may not know that Sir Carter's children, Elena and Henry, are good friends with my children."

Xia Yu really didn't know the inside story of this.

He smiled and said, "It turns out that this is the first time I know..."

"Ha ha……"
