Chapter 1555 Returning the Favor
As an old-fashioned monarchy, the United Kingdom has a very complex set of grading for royal awards.
From low to high, they are the MBE of the Order of Membership, the OBE of the Order of Officials, the CBE of the Order of Commander, the KBE of the Order of the Commander and the GBE of the Grand Cross of the Order.
Among them, only the two highest grades, KBE and GBE, are considered titles, and in the case of British citizens, if they are not British citizens, in fact, no matter how high the grade is, it is just a reputation.
Although the royal family awards are mostly honorary titles, it does not mean that the honorary title is as worthless as the cabbage on the street.
On the contrary, the British royal family has very clear plans and indicators for the awards of each level. Even the lowest MBE, only a few dozen people are awarded each year.
There are not many people in the two levels of CBE and KBE.
As for GBE, this highest-level honor will only be awarded in a few years or even a dozen years.
There are only two people in Chinese history who have been awarded the GBE, both of them are outstanding politicians who once had great influence in Hong Kong politics.
Li Mu is the third Chinese and the only Chinese who was not born in Hong Kong to be awarded the GBE.
Just how precious GBE is, there is no obvious comparison just by looking at the people who awarded GBE. Take a look at the KBE that is the first grade of GBE. The previous richest man in China, Li Jiacheng, is one of them.
Moreover, Li Jiacheng did not award the KBE as soon as he came up. He was able to be upgraded after a full 11 years of awarding the CBE. As for the GBE, it is basically impossible.
However, Li Mu, as a young man in his early twenties, a Chinese entrepreneur in his early twenties, and a Chinese Internet person who set foot on British soil for the first time, was directly awarded the highest GBE, which is unbelievable.
Before Li Mu came, the Queen was going to give Li Mu an honorary KBE, which in itself was outrageously high. However, after Li Mu planned a grand avenue for William, the Queen temporarily decided to repay Li Mu and give Li Mu the highest level of honor.
Prince Charles, originally had some doubts in his heart, thinking that it would be too hasty and difficult to convince the highest-level honor to a young man in his early twenties. However, after listening to the Queen talk about those who she thinks Li Mu deserves the GBE title After the reason, he felt relieved immediately.
A monstrous character like Li Mu,
It may not be possible to find one in a few decades. To describe such a person as a genius, it is not exaggerated, and even a genius is not enough, because there are many people in this world who can be regarded as geniuses, but there is not one who can compare with Li Mu.
There is no doubt that Li Mu is the most outstanding entrepreneur today. Under his leadership, Makino Technology has grown rapidly with the impact of the Big Bang, which in itself is a super miracle in the business field, even Bill Gates Incomparable, Li Jiacheng, a rich man who has only developed for decades, is even more incomparable.
Moreover, Li Mu is completely different from Li Jiacheng. Li Mu has never done anything that endangers the society or overdraws social wealth for the sake of profit. However, the latter is different. When the latter amassed wealth at the speed of light in the real estate field, it has caused very serious damage to social wealth. Overdraft, and even invented the evil concept of "shared area", while Li Mu has been trying to give back to the society.
At this time, the entire royal family, the entire Royal Guard, and the photographers and videographers used by the royal family were all shocked that Li Mu won the GBE title.
Anne Hathaway even thought she was dreaming.
Only the client, Li Mu, and his assistant, Li Ziwei, still do not understand what the Grand Cross of the British Empire stands for.
Li Mu also thought that 80% of this thing was similar to the honorary bachelor, honorary lecturer or honorary professor of a domestic university, so he didn't take it too seriously. He bowed to the queen with a calm expression, and then the queen pinned the medal on the up front left of his suit.
Afterwards, the photographer stepped forward and said politely, "Your Majesty, Mr. Li Mu, please look at the camera and take a group photo of the two of you."
Li Mu turned around naturally and took a group photo with the Queen.
Afterwards, the Queen said with a smile: "Mr. Li, please wait a moment, I still have two medals I want to give to Miss Li and Miss Hathaway."
As soon as these words came out, both Li Ziwei and Anne Hathaway were surprised, while Charles, who was on the side, immediately stepped forward and handed two exquisite gift boxes to the Queen's hands.
The Queen smiled and waved at Li Ziwei and Anne Hathaway, and the two came back to their senses. After looking at each other, they came to the Queen together ignorantly.
The queen opened one of the boxes, took out a red ribbon cross, and said to Li Ziwei: "Miss Li, thank you for all your hard work for Muye Technology, I believe you are helping Mr. Li Mu to do a series of great things. , This is not only of great significance to the world, but it is also very remarkable in itself, so you are fully worthy of this medal, and I hope you can make persistent efforts."
Li Ziwei was a little nervous all of a sudden, so she could only nod her head seriously, and said to the queen, "Thank you for your affirmation, I will continue to work hard."
The queen nodded and smiled and put the medal on her chest.
Later, the Queen took out the same medal and said to Anne Hathaway, who was already trembling with excitement: "Miss Hathaway, you are a young and promising Hollywood movie star. Audiences all over the world have presented more and better film and television works, and I hope you can continue to work hard."
Anne Hathaway recognized this medal. This is the Commander's Medal CBE, the third-class Medal of Honor. Even this medal is extremely rare. There are only a handful of people in Hollywood who can get MBE and OBE, not to mention more. A higher level of CBE.
Qualifications like Anne Hathaway are normally not even qualified to be awarded honors. Even with the lowest MBE, you will have to wait at least a few years and have a few famous works before you have the chance.
However, Li Ziwei is similar to Li Mu, she always thinks that it is an honorary title, it should be a unified way for the royal family to give back to the guests, it is similar to the honorary titles of various domestic institutions, so deep down I don't really take it seriously.
Compared with the traditional honoring ceremony, the honoring ceremony of Li Mu, Li Ziwei and Anne Hathaway is really simple and unprecedented. Under normal circumstances, the queen stands here to honor the honor, and there are at least dozens or hundreds of elites from all walks of life below. As an audience to watch the ceremony, the media from all over the UK will also flock to Buckingham Palace to record the grand award ceremony and interview the recipients. Like Li Mu, who has won the highest medal but has not even a single audience or a media reporter. first.
...
After the award was completed, the Queen warmly invited everyone to the banquet hall for a luncheon. Li Mu wore the blinding Grand Cross of the Knights and shared a sumptuous lunch with the entire royal family.
At the end of the luncheon, Prince William's personal butler James once again reported a set of data. William's Titter about 3321 has now exceeded 10 million reads, and the number of votes has exceeded 150,000. The situation is one-sided against him.
Moreover, all the mainstream TV media in the country have reported this matter, and the public opinion is oriented correctly, and the voices of support for William's proposal are getting louder and louder.
Interestingly, there are several British Internet companies who are hot on their official Twitter, saying that they will invest huge manpower and material resources to develop the British version of 3321, and they say that they will definitely develop a more comprehensive version than 3321. , more practical.
There is no doubt that William has become the only hot spot in the UK now. The whole UK is discussing his topic, and everyone's favorability to him has grown because of this matter. William has begun to build a The framework and prototype of opinion leaders.
At two o'clock in the afternoon, Li Mu's scheduled visit was coming to an end. He said apologetically to the Queen and other members of the royal family: "Because I have to go to Manchester next, I have to start my journey. Thank you for the invitation of the royal family. For the reception, I would like to thank Her Majesty the Queen for her encouragement and affirmation, and I hope to be a guest here again if I have the opportunity in the future.”
The Queen said with a smile: "Bingham Palace will always welcome you, anytime, as long as you come to the UK, please contact us, we very much hope that you can stay overnight at Buckingham Palace, let us do our best to entertain, but this time I am afraid there is no chance Now, next time you go to Buckingham Palace, you must not leave in such a hurry."
Li Mu hurriedly nodded in agreement.
Afterwards, he said goodbye to each member one by one, starting with the queen, and William was the last in line.
When he finally said goodbye to William, Li Mu said to him: "If you have anything in the future, you can call me directly. If I can't get through, just call Ziwei. Today's start is very good, and we must continue to maintain it. ."
William immediately nodded solemnly and said, "Don't worry, I will do exactly what you said, thank you Mr. Li, oh no, it's Mr. Li."
Li Mu smiled lightly and said, "There is no need to be so polite between the two of us. We are friends, not teachers and students."
After that, Li Mu added: "When you announce the introduction of 3321 into the UK, I will immediately send someone to provide technical support, and strive to quickly integrate the 3321 UK station. Before going online, you need to learn more about the Internet and Internet platforms. Operation, because in the future this platform will be handed over to you.”
"Okay! Don't worry, I will definitely do my best!" William's expression was full of gratitude. At this moment, his gratitude to Li Mu was really overwhelming. In half a day, he received such intense attention. Almost reached a new turning point in life, which was almost entirely thanks to Li Mu.
Li Mu said with a smile: "After the 3321 UK station is online, I will go to Huaxia when I have time, and let the British people know more about China."
William agreed without hesitation and said, "I will definitely go to Huaxia to visit Mr. Li at that time!"
"No problem." Li Mu stretched out his hand to him and said with a smile, "Goodbye then, thank you and the other members of the royal family for the hospitality, and I will definitely come again when I have the chance."
