Reborn Xiangjiang Tycoon Growth

Chapter 967 Preparations before the award

In fact, the British royal family not only arranged for Crown Prince Charles and the Princess to greet him in person, but also had a more important ceremony later - the awarding of honors was waiting for Bao Zixuan.

As an important figure in the development and promotion of Xiangjiang and a world-renowned entrepreneur, he strongly supported the United Kingdom during the Falklands War. For this reason, he was banned by Argentina. He also received many other honors. At this time, Xiangjiang was regarded by the British as

It still belongs to the British Commonwealth. From that perspective, Bao Zixuan is qualified for the award.

That night at Prince Charles' castle, Mr. and Mrs. Bao Zixuan had an aristocratic dinner with Mr. and Mrs. Charles. Zhang Youran really enjoyed it, but Bao, the richest man, was really not used to it.

During the dinner, Prince Charles proposed to Bao Zixuan that Her Majesty the Queen would receive him tomorrow and would award him a medal. In order to avoid embarrassing the situation and not wanting to embarrass Bao Zixuan, he decided to award him the medal together with Harold Macmillan.

.

Before coming to the UK, Bao Zixuan had already thought about these issues. But now Bao Zixuan has figured out that if you always look forward and backward, others will not take you seriously. It is better to live your own life. When you are strong enough, you don’t need to care too much about other people.

idea.

Moreover, Mr. Bao has already thought of a way out, at least to take his destiny into his own hands.

Buckingham Palace is the main residence and office of the British monarch in London. Located in Westminster, it is one of the venues for British national celebrations and royal welcome ceremonies, and is also an important tourist attraction.

Buckingham Palace was also an important gathering place during moments of celebration or crisis in British history. From 1703 to 1705, Buckingham Palace and John Sheffield, Duke of Normanby, built a large town hall building "Buckingham Palace" here.

It forms the main building today.

In 1761, King George III acquired the mansion and used it as a private palace. Since then, the expansion project of the palace continued for more than 75 years, mainly led by architects John Nacy and Edward Brower, and three buildings were built for the central courtyard.

Side building.

In 1837, after Queen Victoria ascended the throne, Buckingham Palace became the official residence of the British King. In the 1840s, construction of the public facade of the palace began, forming the image of Buckingham Palace that continues to this day. During World War II, the palace chapel was destroyed by a German bomb;

The Queen's Gallery built on the site opened to the public in 1962 to display the Royal Collection.

Buckingham Palace is now open to the public, and the famous handover ceremony of the Guards is held every morning, which has become a major landscape of British royal culture.

Early the next morning, Bao Zixuan, accompanied by his wife Zhang Youran, began to prepare. It was a big day anyway, so he had to dress up carefully.

Seeing this palace that he had heard of countless times before, Bao Zixuan was filled with emotions. He had visited here in his previous life, of course only as a tourist. Who would have thought that he could come here and have the queen personally award him a medal. Don't say it has come true before, or even

I don't even dare to think about it.

However, I have seen too many palaces in this life, and I don't think there is anything special about it. And to be honest, Bao Zixuan's mansion in Kyoto is not much worse than Buckingham Palace, at most it loses in fame. When Kyoto in China develops, the price of the house itself will

It will definitely not be lower than here.

Compared to Bao Zixuan's calmness, Zhang Youran was very excited. He used to be very envious of the British aristocratic life, and he was considered a poisoned generation. After marrying Bao Zixuan, the situation became better; but it is difficult to change the things deep in his heart.

The British Honors and Commendations system is a system designed to reward those who have made contributions to the United Kingdom.

Different honorary titles represent different levels of importance, and some titles were created centuries ago.

The list of persons to be honored is recommended by the Prime Minister to the British monarch. Individuals can also nominate candidates to the Prime Minister, and the British Foreign Office can nominate foreign citizens to receive honors. Commonwealth governments can also nominate their own citizens to the British government, but most

Commonwealth countries have established their own honor systems. The monarch can also decide to award honors to individuals.

The list of honorees is generally announced twice a year - on the monarch's birthday and on New Year's Day. Ceremonies awarding honors always attract attention, the most famous of which is of course the knighting ceremony, in which the monarch holds a symbolic sword.

, gently tapping the shoulders of those who have been knighted. But sometimes those who have received honors will refuse to accept the honor. In a previous life, in 2003, a British newspaper published a list of all those who had refused to be knighted.

Bao Zixuan is based in the UK, and its business is mainly in Hong Kong. If you still want to live a more comfortable life, it's really hard to refuse directly.

The awarding of honors is a solemn and grand event in any country. It should not have been arranged today, and it feels like it was specially prepared for Bao Zixuan.

The British also took great pains to win the recognition of the richest man Bao. When he came to London, not only did the crown prince personally greet him, but he also specially arranged the time for the award. This is unique in British history.

Obtaining the title of nobility does not mean much to Bao Zixuan, but seeing that the British are so carefully prepared, he cannot be too casual. The British investigated Bao Zixuan's character in great detail. In fact, not only the British, I am afraid what the richest man Bao is like

People are no secret in the world.

Before the award ceremony began, Bao Zixuan met an old man. And he still had some impressions of this man.

Maurice Harold Macmillan, 1st Earl of Stockton, British politician, prime minister, member of the Conservative Party, educator, and writer. Macmillan served as the British Prime Minister from 1957 to 1963. His

Nicknamed "supermac",

Before he was promoted to the nobility, he never used Morris to refer to himself, so the public generally called him Harold Macmillan. In 2004, in a survey by mori, Macmillan's evaluation was the highest in the 20th century.

Ranked fifth among British Prime Ministers.

But he also has another identity, which Bao Zixuan is more familiar with. In 1960, Maurice Harold Macmillan served as the president of Bao Zixuan's alma mater, the University of Oxford. Although it was more of a temporary position, the other party

No matter what country or nation you are in, respecting teachers and moral principles is human nature and the most basic politeness issue.

When Bao Zixuan saw that the old man didn't dare to ask for help, he hurriedly stepped forward and stretched out his hand at the same time: "Hello, principal! I am Bao Zixuan. I didn't expect to see you here."

Although Maurice Harold Macmillan is 90 years old, he is still in good health. Of course, he is no stranger to this Oxford top student who was named a famous alumnus just after graduation. Although Bao Zixuan was a student during his studies,

He hasn't spent much time in Oxford. But as a former principal, he still pays attention to the school's situation.

The arrival of the old principal made Bao Zixuan feel a little surprised, and at the same time he was a little confused about what the British meant.

Macmillan attended Eton College in his early years and entered Balliol College, Oxford University in 1912. However, he only studied at the university for two years before joining the army due to the outbreak of the First World War. During the war, Macmillan

Mirren served in the Guardsmen, reaching the rank of captain, and was wounded three times in battle.

During the Battle of the Somme, Macmillan was shot in the skull by a bullet. As a result, he spent a whole day hiding in a foxhole and reading the original works of the ancient Greek writer Aeschylus. In the First World War, due to his

He lost many friends, so he refused to return to Oxford after the war and lamented that the university had changed beyond recognition.

In 1920, he married Dorothy Cavendish, the governor's daughter, which gave him the status of equal dialogue with the aristocracy.

None of this is important. You must know that this old man also has a special identity. In 1984, Macmillan finally accepted the title of nobility and was named Earl of Stockton and Viscount Macmillan of Ovenden. His title of nobility is hereditary.

A title of nobility, and so far, he is the last non-royal member to be granted a hereditary peerage in British history.

Today, I arranged for the old principal to confer honors with me. Is there any conspiracy here? Although the title of British nobility is not valuable at this time, it is not easily obtained by ordinary people.

At present, we can only take one step and look at it; what does the British royal family mean? According to Bao Zixuan's age and contribution, the possibility of being granted a lifelong peerage is very high, and the hereditary peerage is obviously worse.

Moreover, British hereditary nobles are basically from the UK. Strictly speaking, Bao Zixuan is not British. Moreover, the people already have great opinions on the royal family at this time. It is impossible for the royal family to offend all the people just because Bao Zixuan is the richest man; that would cost

If it is too high, some gains outweigh the losses.

Arranging to confer honors with the old principal shows from the side that they attach great importance to Bao Zixuan. After all, the other party conferred the title of hereditary nobleman, I believe Bao Zixuan will not be too far behind. If it does not meet expectations, it is just as a foil, and the invitation to come to confer honors will make people

People are disgusted.
