The Birth of the Hong Kong Island Family.

In mid-November, Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun came to London to participate in the awarding activities prepared by the royal family for him.

Today's Lin Zhichao's influence has reached a higher level. He has been received by the German Chancellor and the Japanese Prime Minister, and has a fleet of millions of tons of deadweight.

Britain, on the other hand, had just lost its rights in the Middle East and was severely taught by the United States and the Soviet Union.

In this case, it is very natural to win over him, the richest man in the colony.

What is important is that the London side received a report from Governor Ge Lianghong and the Political Department. The report contained detailed information on Lin Zhichao, including his achievements and influence in the three industries of industry, shipping, and real estate.

In industry, Lin Zhichao is the world's zipper giant, the father of plastic flowers, the father of Hong Kong wigs, the king of toys, the father of trolley cases, and the father of instant noodles. In Hong Kong, Lin Zhichao has more than 7000 workers, and the wig and plastic industries have reached 2.3 people. Together, they are already close to the largest industry - the textile industry; the local industry has a huge influence and has become an existence that affects the work of tens of thousands of workers.

In terms of shipping, Lin Zhichao has a fleet of one million tons of deadweight, and the owner of the largest number of oil tankers with the largest tonnage in the world; Lin Zhichao has a good reputation and influence in the Japanese business community, has great influence in Japanese and German shipbuilding circles, and has reached cooperation with many large oil giants.

In terms of real estate, Lin Zhichao is the pioneer of Hong Kong real estate. He invented "strata sales", "off-plan sales" and "public housing leases", setting a precedent for real estate in the world; his real estate company employs thousands of workers and owns many buildings and properties.

As soon as the report came out, the London side was very surprised when there were such powerful Chinese in Hong Kong.In the past, Lin Zhichao had also entered the sight of London, but it was not so sensational.

As soon as the latest report came out, the London side was shocked immediately and formulated a wooing plan. First of all, it suggested that the royal family grant Lin Zhichao the CBE honor.

On the plane, Tang Caiyun was also quite excited. The influence of the British royal family is still very large.

She asked curiously: "After receiving the CBE medal, when can I be called a knight?"

Lin Zhichao smiled and said, "Don't worry, it won't be a few years!"

This is confidence!

His influence is far beyond that of Bao Yugang and Li Ka-shing in his previous life; the sum is not enough, and the status of an 'industrial tycoon' must be added.

The British Commonwealth's honor system is: MBE, OBE, CBE, KBE, and GBE.

Only KBE and GBE can be called 'jazz', and some people have been awarded the title of 'jazz' by the British royal family after obtaining CBE.

Sir, is a very attractive title. In the previous life, after the Sixth Uncle Shao won the title of "Jazz" from the British royal family, he asked his subordinates to call him "Sir Shao" in any scene.This is true even for patriots like Shao Liushu, not to mention ordinary people like Lin Zhichao.

Therefore, he still cares about these honors.

Lin Zhichao predicted that he would win the KBE award at most, because the GBE award can also be called the "big SIR". Only two people in Hong Kong won it in later generations, namely Jian Yueqiang and Zhong Shiyuan. Both of them are political evergreens.
Of course, there is also Deng Lianru, who was married to a British, and was named a "baron" by the British royal family, and Hong Kong Island was made a fief.Of course, the fief is only a symbolic meaning, and the time expires in [-].

Tang Caiyun hugged Lin Zhichao's arm and said, "I'm a little nervous!"

Lin Zhichao smiled and explained: "For the British royal family, we only need to be 'respectful', and we don't need to feel that they are superior to us. Everyone is equal. He just doesn't give us medals and honors, and it's nothing."

Climbing to power will not make others look up to you!
On the contrary, as long as you are strong enough, others will think highly of you.

This year, Global Shipping was indeed almost unable to enter the European business, but Lin Zhichao took advantage of the timing and immediately took advantage of Ximike Petroleum; this is the right time and place.

Now, Clam Petroleum has greatly increased its favorability towards Global Shipping, and the three 5.6-ton oil tankers have contributed to their business; at the same time, Clam Petroleum has also seen the quality of Global Shipping shipowners, laying the foundation for the next cooperation.

Tang Caiyun nodded, this time it was rare for her to go abroad with her husband, so she didn't want to lose face to her husband, and encouraged herself to deal with communication matters in her heart.

three days later.

Buckingham Palace.

Lin Zhichao was dressed in a formal attire for the award ceremony.

He is not the only one to be honored this time, and Lyons, the founder of Jaguar, will be awarded the 'Jazz', which is a level higher than Lin Zhichao's honor.It is said that Lyons was awarded the jazz title because the Jaguar team achieved good results in the field.

Therefore, the protagonist is not Lin Zhichao.

In the hall, there were some guests watching the ceremony, probably some nobles or celebrities from London.

Lin Zhichao has been waiting in the background, and it will be his turn after Lyons is awarded the honor.He was in a very relaxed mood, neither nervous nor excited, because nothing made people more nervous than time travel.Tang Caiyun was on the side, still looking very nervous, and Lin Zhichao would occasionally comfort her.

After a while, the staff signaled: "Mr. Lin, it's time to honor you, please go this way!"

Lin Zhichao nodded and said, "Thank you."

Afterwards, he slowly came to the rostrum from behind the guest seats, while Tang Caiyun could only watch from the sidelines;
There are quite a lot of rules, and you have to bow once when the queen is three meters away.

After that, Lin Zhichao knelt on a chair with one knee, one foot stretched out obliquely.

He looked at the young queen, and thought that she was indeed very beautiful, and also very temperamental.The so-called temperament is just cultivated by following the etiquette day after day, and only the person involved knows the pain; of course, if there is a loss, there will be a gain, just like the princess in "Roman Holiday".

Holding a sword, the young queen made two gestures on Lin Zhichao's shoulder, and then the attendant took the sword, and someone handed the queen a medal.

The Commander's Order CBE is pink rose with a pearl gray rim.

The queen personally wore it for Lin Zhichao, and she did not wear white gloves on her hands. In fact, the queen does not like to wear gloves. Later generations are because they are old and have to resist bacterial infection.

After sorting out the CBE medal hanging on Lin Zhichao's chest, the Queen said: "I am very happy to award you the honor. It symbolizes our gratitude and respect for your contribution to Hong Kong's economy!"

Lin Zhichao immediately said: "Thank you very much! I am very happy to receive this honor. Hong Kong develops in the Commonwealth system, the economy can get very good conditions, and the prospects are unlimited."

The Queen said: "I want to hear, what are the development potentials of Hong Kong?"

Lin Zhichao said: "It is a free trade port, a natural hotbed for the development of the shipping industry; it has cheap labor, huge capital, and technology, and it will become the factory of the world."

The queen said: "Thank you very much for explaining it to me!"

The two can chat, but they will almost always control the time, and they will probably exchange a few words.

Lin Zhichao's words are not flattery, but the fact that Hong Kong is just a tiny place, without a large system environment, it is impossible to develop at all.

Today is the Commonwealth system, and the future Greater China system must have a backer so that the economy can develop.

At the guest table, some people felt a little uncomfortable. The British Empire has fallen so much that it is necessary to award a Chinese with honors to win over businessmen from overseas colonies.And Her Majesty the Queen is also happy to talk to this Chinese, which is about the same time as the conversation with Lyons just now, which is also a signal.

In fact, Lin Zhichao's feat is enough to be named a "jazz". After all, a ship owner with a deadweight of 100 million tons in this era can be called a "ship king".The United Kingdom claims to be a country founded on merchants, and it has the second largest merchant fleet in the world, but only 2000 million tons; and Lin Zhichao alone accounts for more than 5%.

After the award ceremony, Lin Zhichao and his wife received an invitation to a Buckingham Palace dinner.

The host is the royal family, and various nobles, government officials, and business people will also attend, which is also very grand.

Although Lin Zhichao came with his wife, he also hoped to meet someone in his heart, and that was Princess Margaret.

Of course, it's just to meet and get to know each other. Of course it's better to be friends.As for other things, Lin Zhichao doesn't want to die yet. After all, if he does something that hurts the face of the British royal family, 007 is not a vegetarian.

But in terms of women, Lin Zhichao has a golden finger, that is, he can release Cupid's arrow, and it is easy to gain the favor of women.This is because, after crossing, there is a kind of electric wave or brain wave that can be released from his body; even those subordinates, after following Lin Zhichao for a long time, they will have an invisible desire to follow Lin Zhichao wholeheartedly, including foreign employees.

In short, Lin Zhichao's personality is very charming!

That night.

Lin Zhichao changed into a business suit and immediately felt relaxed.Although it was a Buckingham Palace dinner, after all there was no official award, so it was reasonable to wear a suit.

When Lin Zhichao and Tang Caiyun walked into the dinner party, someone came up to entertain them soon, and Lin Zhichao and his wife were not left out in the cold.Of course, it is just not being left out, and there is not much enthusiasm.

However, Lin Zhichao has a clear mind, and he will never post in circles that he can't tolerate.

So, he didn't take too much initiative.

"Mr. Lin, Mrs. Lin, do you like sports cars?" Lyons first stepped forward to talk.

Both of them are honored today, and they are both in the business world, so it is normal for them to come together and chat.

Lin Zhichao said with a smile: "Although I like sports cars, Hong Kong is too small, so I haven't owned one. But I like British-style cars very much, so I chose Rolls-Royce as my usual car for work."

He has indeed bought a Rolls-Royce, but has not yet got it, and it is expected to be used with the Deep Water Bay 79 by the end of the year.

Lyons said, "So you must have a superyacht like Onassis?"

Lin Zhichao replied: "No! Such a yacht is too high-profile for me."

Lyons said: "That's it! I know you Chinese, very humble, low-key, and hard-working."

Be humble yourself, you really think you are a humble person!

In fact, Lin Zhichao also wanted to enjoy good things, so he built a large garden-style villa and bought a Rolls-Royce as a new car.As for the big yacht, he also ordered a 50-foot ship with a mixed steel structure and wooden structure.

Although there is no flybridge system and fiberglass technology in this era, that is, there is no two-story yacht, but Lin Zhichao can still purchase a boat similar to the "Mulian Yacht", which has enough space.

In a few years, you can also buy a warship and transform it into a super yacht.

In short, life has to be enjoyed slowly.

After chatting with Lyons for a few words, I saw Margaret walking into the banquet on behalf of the royal family. As for the Queen and his wife, they did not attend, because they were very busy after all.

Margaret is a well-known social butterfly, keen to participate in various cocktail parties, busy socializing everywhere, and later generations called themselves "Itgirl (referring to sexy, enchanting woman)" at that time, and were even accused of taking photos of fruit on the beach.

"Mr. Lin, is this your wife?" Margaret quickly came to Lin Zhichao's side as a representative.

"Yes, Your Royal Highness!" Lin Zhichao introduced Tang Caiyun with eyes that loved Tang Caiyun very much.

After some introductions, Margaret suddenly said, "I heard that Mr. Lin and Audrey Hepburn knew each other?"

Seeing Margaret's expression, Lin Zhichao seemed to show a hint of disgust. He knew that this woman had just been cuckolded by her boyfriend, so he might be a little disgusted with Lin Zhichao's behavior.

However, Lin Zhichao thought, you are the beginning of the romance of the British royal family!

In terms of Prince Zaersi's behavior in future generations, in front of his aunt, he can only be regarded as a latecomer.After all, Margaret was notoriously rebellious, and there were reports of derailed little fresh meat before the divorce in later generations, although the relationship had broken down at that time.

"We are very good friends!" Lin Zhichao said frankly.

Over the past year or so, Lin Zhichao and Audrey Hepburn are not very concerned about the outside world. Even Tang Caiyun and Xu Caiying know that Lin Zhichao can do such a pioneering work outside, but everyone chooses to acquiesce.

As soon as the words fell, Margaret looked at Tang Caiyun, seeing that the couple took it for granted, she was a little embarrassed.

"Just friends? I heard that Audrey Hepburn had a half-race son." Margaret continued to attack.

She hates these cheating men, and she hates a Hollywood superstar and British actress becoming a Chinese lover.It's not that she has racial prejudice, but that she thinks it's better to be married instead of a lover.

"Does Your Highness usually read gossip magazines?" Lin Zhichao asked politely.

Margaret would have said that the story had spread, even if she didn't read a magazine.

But she calmed down quickly. Lin Zhichao was a guest after all, and he deliberately targeted others on this occasion, which obviously damaged the royal dignity.

"Well, I did see gossip magazines talking nonsense, these." Margaret took the initiative to resolve the confrontation.

Later, she became interested in Lin Zhichao instead.

"Mr. Lin, what do you usually like?"

"My hobby is making money!"

The people around were stunned, this is too ungentlemanly, is it to fight back just now?
Margaret smiled and said, "I know you are a businessman. I mean, what are your usual hobbies?"

She wanted to know about Lin Zhichao's ability to make Audrey Hepburn his lover.

At this time, Lin Zhichao said selflessly: "Your Highness, I saw many Chinese in Hong Kong without clothes and three meals. It is because my compatriots are so poor that I am determined to do a bigger business. We developed plastic flowers, which made Hong Kong plastic flowers popular all over the world, accounting for more than 90% of the share, and also supported more than 1 people who had no jobs. We introduced wig production, which accounted for 90% of the global share. .Shipping We have made our own efforts, without the United Nations, the United States, and the United Kingdom helping us, we only spent five or six years."

Margaret and the people around were immediately in awe, and she immediately said: "It turns out that Mr. Lin has such noble hobbies, and he is also a powerful inventor."

It’s impossible not to praise it. Let me ask you which plastic flower, trolley case, instant noodles, wigs, and zippers have changed Hong Kong.

Lin Zhichao scored full marks for his pretending to be B!
"His Royal Highness, I did not invent it, but my colleagues. I encourage them to have unconstrained ideas. In fact, I usually have some other hobbies, such as swimming, diving, winter swimming, etc."

Soon, the atmosphere eased.

Tang Caiyun, who is standing next to Lin Zhichao, actually knows Lin Zhichao very well. She has too many skills, such as being proficient in the languages ​​of seven or eight countries, learning ancient Chinese culture, etc., are all hobbies.

No way, Lin Zhichao's brain is extremely smart!
Afterwards, the dinner party went well.This time London awarded him an honor, Lin Zhichao did not intend to award Britain anything.In a few years, if he is awarded the title of 'Jazz', he can consider building two [-]-ton freighters in the UK.

To put it bluntly, the British royal family is a bit stingy this time! (end of this chapter)
