People in Hong Kong create super chaebols

Chapter 420 Invitation from Buckingham Palace

After the Prince of Wales finished speaking, he took out an exquisite box and opened it. Inside was an exquisite medal.

"Mr. Su, Her Majesty the Queen originally wanted to award this medal to you in person to reward your contribution to the British Empire. However, it is a long way from Europe to Xiangjiang, and she has something to do without her for the time being, so she asked me to come and award this medal on her behalf. Medal." The Prince of Wales brought the exquisite box to Su Cheng and said seriously.

Su Cheng was a little surprised. What contribution had he made to Britain?Why didn't he know?
It's a bit baffling.

In fact, Su Cheng still underestimated the title of the world's richest man.

The influence of this title is very huge.

And Xiangjiang is still under British rule, which is equivalent to Sioux City being a citizen of British rule.

This also indirectly brought great honor to Britain.

Although, in the eyes of the British, the Chinese in Hong Kong are, at best, third-class citizens.

However, this does not prevent them from considering Su Cheng, the world's richest man, as one of their own.

Do you want to accept this medal?

This incident was too sudden for Su Cheng.

If you don't accept it, it will definitely make the British royal family lose face.

Then, they will find ways to suppress Su City and make it difficult for Su City to move forward in the business world of Hong Kong.

For example, Huo Yingdong is such a person.

Because of Huo Yingdong's patriotic performance for the motherland during the war, the British disliked him very much and refused to accept Huo Yingdong's donation, which made him the only wealthy Hong Kong businessman who was not awarded a medal by the Queen of England.

Originally, if Huo Yingdong's business talents were followed, his strength would definitely surpass the charter king and become the veritable richest man in Hong Kong and even Asia.

However, just because of the suppression by the government, although normal business operations were not affected, many development opportunities were missed.

Although I am a Chinese, I am now under the jurisdiction of others, and it is irrational to resist them.

Moreover, it is just accepting a medal, and it is not betrayal.

Now that their management rights are less than 20 years old, they can only continue to be arrogant.

Thinking of this, Su Cheng decided to accept this medal.

Although Su Cheng does not understand the importance of this medal, if he accepts it, it will make him more comfortable in the business world in Xiangjiang, make more money, and have more funds to invest in the mainland.

"Thank you very much, Her Majesty the Queen, and thank you Prince of Wales for your recognition." Although he had doubts in his heart, Su Cheng didn't bother and politely accepted the medal.

At the scene, no matter whether they were foreigners or Chinese, they were all so surprised that they could not speak out.

It is very rare to be directly awarded the KBE Knight Medal. Even for nobles in the UK, it is rare. It is even more incredible for a Chinese to receive this medal.

In the era of British administration of Hong Kong, the British royal family awarded many honorary titles to the Chinese in Hong Kong, but only a handful of Hong Kong people could become knights.

Almost all the rich people you can think of in Hong Kong have received British medals. Li Ka-shing, Stanley Ho, Charter King, Shaw Yat-fu, etc., at least hundreds of people have received the medal. Many Chinese rich people have received the medal more than once. .

However, the vast majority of them only received the lowest MBE, and the best one only received the OBE.

As for the KBE medal that Su Cheng received this time, it already belongs to the Commander's Medal, which is the second-class knighthood in the British Order of Merit.

Of course, this is just an honorary title and has no actual rights at all.

This medal can be regarded as the highest level medal that a Chinese can obtain.In another world, Li Chaoren later also received the KBE medal, because at that time, Li Chaoren was already recognized as the richest man in Asia, and Li Chaoren's business empire had a huge business in the UK.

After the scene became quiet, a warm applause began to erupt. This applause was even more intense than the applause when the Prince of Wales first appeared.

Everyone looked at Su Cheng eagerly.

At this moment, they seemed to feel that Su Cheng's status had once again risen a lot.

"Congratulations to Sir Su Cheng." Mailihao stood up and expressed his blessing to Su Cheng.

"Congratulations to Sir Su Cheng."

"Congratulations to Sir Su Cheng."

Some big-shot people at the scene also rushed to send their blessings to Su Cheng.

Moreover, Su Cheng discovered that the foreigners who were originally hostile to him no longer looked at Su Cheng with such hostility, and even showed kindness.

Is this the unexpected gain brought by this medal?

"Thank you all for your congratulations, and I am also very grateful to His Royal Highness the Prince of Wales for coming so far to personally award me the medal. I am very surprised to receive this medal. I am still young and I don't think I am good enough to win this medal, but I can I am deeply honored to be recognized by Her Majesty the Queen. Next, I will make more contributions to Hong Kong!" Su Cheng expressed his remarks.

He did not say how much he would contribute to Britain, but only how much he would contribute to Hong Kong.

Because he always felt that he was not British, but just from Xiangjiang.

As for asking him to express his loyalty to the queen, it is even more impossible.

This is not about "being a bitch and wanting to build a memorial arch at the same time", but Su Cheng has been living in Xiangjiang his whole life, and receiving a medal does not mean anything.

Afterwards, the dinner was held in a very harmonious atmosphere.

Because Su Cheng received the KBE medal, many people present gathered around him, hoping to interact with him.

As for the Prince of Wales, everyone wanted to have something to do with him, but the prince was born with a cold sense of distance. Only top Hong Kong bosses such as MacLeaher and Shen Bi could communicate with him.

"Sir Su Cheng, on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen, I invite you to Buckingham Palace as a guest. This is Her Majesty's wish." Just as Su Cheng was helplessly dealing with everyone who wanted to talk to him, the Prince of Wales took the initiative to leave them. That circle came over and said to Su Cheng with a smile.

And because of his arrival, everyone took the initiative to make way.

Everyone looked envious when they heard that the Queen actually invited Su Cheng in person.

This is a personal invitation from the Queen!

Not even Mailihao and Shen Bi have experienced this kind of treatment.

"Thank you very much for the invitation from Her Majesty the Queen. I will find a time to be a guest." Su Cheng still responded politely.

As for when to go, it's not up to him.

Anyway, he has no plans to go to England in the near future.

He had already been to the UK in June, but now he has no interest in going there again.

"On behalf of the royal family, I welcome the arrival of Sir Su Cheng at any time." The Prince of Wales shook hands with Su Cheng and said with a smile.
