Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

MacMillan was still very satisfied with Bao Zixuan's attitude, and the title was also very to his liking. The principal explained that the other party was talking to you as a student, which proved that he had not forgotten his roots.

The old man has made great contributions to the whole of Britain. The British royal family will not confer a hereditary noble title just because he married a noble daughter. Not only does it not have that tradition, but more importantly it cannot convince the public. Being able to be awarded a medal together with this old man is an honor in itself, and it also shows Bao Zixuan's important position in the eyes of the British royal family.

Macmillan smiled and said: "I have heard many people mention you before, but I have never had the opportunity to meet you. Being able to meet you at Buckingham Palace today is also a kind of fate. Among the many roles in my life, the most satisfying one was once a student at Oxford. Later he became Chancellor of Oxford."

"Being able to see outstanding students who graduated from Oxford here shows that the essence of the school has not changed much. This is even happier than me being awarded a knighthood. My life is coming to an end; but you are in the golden age of your life. I hope you can not forget your original intention. , cooperate more with schools.”

Regardless of whether what he said was true or false, it at least showed the old man's attitude. Bao Zixuan couldn't refuse directly at this time, and he came to the UK just to set up an engine R\u0026D and manufacturing center. The old man can become the last person to be granted a hereditary noble title, and his influence in Britain is unquestionable. At the same time, the strength of his family cannot be underestimated in the UK. After all, where does his wife's identity lie?

The richest man Bao would not refuse anything that happened along the way. So he said with a smile: "Students from my alma mater should not forget that the main purpose of coming to the UK this time is to inspect automobile engines."

"If the cooperation is reached, we will establish a research and development center with Oxford as soon as possible. I graduated from Oxford, and I will definitely cooperate with the school when I come here. Please rest assured about this, principal. In addition to the many projects we have cooperated with the school before, the results are remarkable. Black Cloud Group is ready to increase investment in the UK, and there will only be more projects in the future."

Hearing Bao Zixuan's assurance, not only Macmillan, but also the other staff standing nearby were very happy. As long as someone comes to invest, they will definitely be warmly welcomed, especially high-end manufacturing companies like Heiyun Group.

MacMillan smiled and said: "Very good, it seems that you care about the school no less than I do. I hope it can continue. No matter how high your achievements are, you can never forget your roots. The school has the strength to cooperate with any enterprises and institutions , don’t have any worries or worries when you encounter problems.”

This is a bit exaggerated. After all, Bao Zixuan's feelings for Oxford are definitely not as good as those of the old man. However, it can also show the old man's recognition of the students from the side. Of course, there is also a hint of deception in it.

In fact, I just want Bao Zixuan to understand that Oxford is your foundation in the UK. And the school is stronger than you think, so don't have any scruples. These words were said to Bao Zixuan, more like they were said to the people next to him.

Heiyun Group's cooperation with Oxford and Bao Zixuan's investment in the UK. Don't get in the way, otherwise you will be the enemy of Oxford as a whole. As one of the two best universities in the UK, Oxford has the capital to show its attitude.

After that, the two talked about other things, and the benefits of alumni status were once again reflected.

At ten o'clock in the morning, the awarding ceremony began.

The Queen of England is also in full dress today. After all, this is a solemn moment.

Although Bao Zixuan is the protagonist, he certainly cannot steal the limelight from Macmillan on this occasion. The old man began serving in the British Army during World War I and was injured as a result. Moreover, he is still the nominal teacher of Mr. Bao. No matter from which perspective, he is not qualified to compete with the old man for the limelight.

Although Macmillan is 90 years old, today in the UK is his most glorious moment besides taking office as prime minister. To be precise, it is also the last highlight moment in my life. I will definitely not have this opportunity in the future.

She walked tremblingly in front of the queen and knelt down on one knee. The Queen touched her left and right shoulders with her sword. At the same time, he said: “In my capacity as Queen of the Commonwealth, I confer upon Maurice Harold Macmillan, Earl of Stoke East and Viscount Macmillan of Ovenden, hereditary.

After the Queen finished speaking, the royal steward began to introduce Macmillan's life story.

Although they knew Macmillan somewhat, hearing it from the royal steward still shocked everyone. Most of those who had complained about the old man's conferment of hereditary nobility had nothing to say after hearing Macmillan's contribution to the British Empire in the past 70 years.

It turns out that Macmillan has so many unknown secrets. No wonder the royal family takes it so seriously. Hereditary peerage is the best tribute to Macmillan for his 70 years of service to the British Empire, and he is well deserved.

After the old man obtained the title of noble, it was finally Bao Zixuan's turn to appear.

I had thought about meeting the Queen of England countless times before, but I never thought it would be on such an occasion. They come, the security. It was not easy to stand and let the Queen confer honors on him. Although he was reluctant, Bao Zixuan still knelt down on one knee according to etiquette.

The queen was still very young at this time, at least much younger than when Bao Zixuan saw her in later generations. The future record holder for the longest reign in British history should not be offended easily.

The Queen said: "As the Queen of the Commonwealth, I grant Bao Zixuan a life-long Baronet; I also award you the Order of the British Empire; in recognition of your contribution to the Commonwealth and the entire world."

A lifelong aristocrat, also known as a generation of aristocrats, is a type of British aristocrat. Unlike ordinary nobles, life-long nobles are limited to individuals and cannot be inherited hereditary by their children. The current life peerage is controlled by the Lifetime Nobility Act enacted in 1958, and the title is limited to baron. Life peers have the same title as Lords and can become members of the House of Lords. To become a lifelong noble, you can choose a fief, but this "fief" is only symbolic and will not contribute taxes to the nobles.

The Order of the British Empire, also known as the Order of Great Britain; was created by George V to fill the gaps in the British honors and awards system at that time. First of all, the Order of the Bath is only awarded to senior military officers and public officials; the Order of St. Michael and St. George is only awarded to diplomats; and the Royal Victoria Medal is only awarded to those who serve the British royal family. As a result, George V wanted to honor those who had fought in the First World War but had not been on the battlefield. However, it was precisely because there was no suitable medal that the establishment of this medal was prompted. This medal was originally classified into one category, but since 1918 it has been divided into two categories: military and civilian.

Compared with the Order of the Bath and the Order of St. Michael and St. George, those who have received the Order of the British Empire are not just officials and meritorious officials. On the contrary, the recipients come from a very wide range of classes, so they are more popular in nature.

A brief introduction to Bao Zixuan's life was also given. His main achievements lay in his performance in logistics during the Falkland Islands War. At the same time, he also introduced his award-winning work and his contribution to the development of Hong Kong economy.

From this point of view, Bao Zixuan deserved to receive a lifetime peerage and an Order of the British Empire; at least those present could not find any fault with it.

In fact, strictly speaking, there are still some unreasonable things about Bao Zixuan's status when he received such a high title. After all, he is from Xiangjiang, and he only belongs to the British Commonwealth in name at this time; the British have long had a sense of inferiority in their hearts about the loss.

As for the Order of the British Empire, it's okay, after all, there are quite a few recipients. And compared to noble titles, medals are not that important.

But today, with Macmillan's paving the way, people feel that there is no big problem in Bao Zixuan being awarded the title of lifelong noble. After all, Britain has been conferring hereditary nobility to people other than members of the royal family for a long time. Although they are both nobles, there are essential differences between them.

In fact, the British had already thought of it before, and the purpose was to make the domestic people less disgusted with the conferment of Bao Zixuan. Granting a title is originally a good thing, but it cannot be turned into a bad thing.

Compared to Bao Zixuan's calmness, Zhang Youran was extremely excited. From now on, people in Britain will call her Dame, which is also a symbol of status.

After the investiture ceremony, Mr. Bao experienced a British state banquet at Buckingham Palace. To be honest, I don’t really eat much, but I have a lot of rules. All in all, it was very awkward. Knowing what day it was, I could only bear to finish eating.

The Queen of England was quite concerned about him during the dinner. It seemed that the British people's attention to him had risen to a new level.
