Chapter 352 Tit for Tat
In February, the wind in London is biting, but the port is full of flowers and balloons.
The port fence still has streamers hanging from it, flying the Y-flag.
People braved the cold and gathered around the port, looking towards the direction of the dock, waiting for the launch of the luxury cruise ship named after Her Royal Highness.
"Charlie, isn't it too grand?" When Queen Mary got off the carriage and saw the red carpet and fireworks everywhere, she was surprised.
Because of the Great Depression, the royal family has drastically reduced spending in the past two years, for fear of creating an impression of extravagance and waste in the eyes of the public.
There was the independence of the United States before, and the July Revolution overthrew the Bourbon dynasty. No royal family dared to ignore the power of revolution.
The Windsor royal family does not want to be "revolutionized," which requires them to constantly make compromises, weigh the interests of all parties, and maintain their rule.
The ostentation that Queen Mary is going out now is as low-key as a commoner, and all the laying that can be reduced will be cancelled.
The jewelry on her body also only carried the simplest matching. If it weren't for the gilded royal carriage supporting the scene, Her Royal Highness would be so shabby that it would make people cry.
"How come, this is a memorable day, and it is a common honor belonging to the Great Y Empire."
In the past few years, he has also learned about the competition among European countries on luxury cruise ships from various aspects.
Each of them competed in various aspects, from speed, displacement, length, luxury of the interior, to service, and obtained various records.
It's about how lively and lively it is, and the boring European people are happy to take these as fun.
Whenever a luxury cruise ship from any country is launched, the people will come to watch the ceremony, celebrate with great fanfare, and publicize everywhere how strong their industrial base is.
Li Zitao is more happy to see this kind of scene. The more honors and titles the Queen Mary gets, the more curious people will be about its information.
It doesn't matter if they remember him or not, what matters is that they remember the company it belongs to, CGT (Transatlantic Shipping Company).
It will also make its parent company, Lee C. Astor Industrial Group, appear in the sight of many companies and rich people.
In addition, Her Highness the Queen personally participated in the launch ceremony, and the cruise ship was named after her, how could he pass up such a good publicity opportunity.
At this moment, the pier of country Y is full of reporters from the United States, and the "Los Angeles Times" took the lead, dispatching the best filming team.
At 11 a.m., all preparations are ready.
At the moment when the fireworks sounded, on the log slideway covered with thousands of tons of grease, the huge steel cruise ship happily fell into the sea like a moving island.
"Oh——" The loud cheers lasted for a long time, and Queen Mary came to the shore in person and boarded the Queen cruise ship that was towed to the shore.
The reporters scrambled to follow, and the spotlights kept flickering, recording every moment.
At this moment, the interior of the cruise ship is still a bit empty, only the outline and skeleton are completed, and the interior decoration will be carried out for three months to half a year.
This is the real highlight. Li Zitao has seen its interior decoration drawings.
It was a notch lower than the T6 under construction, which he named the cruise ship 'Princess Adelaide'.
Li Zitao pretended not to notice this, and of course he should use it to please his fiancée if he had something good, as long as His Royal Highness can save face.
It's not his wife. If she wants extravagance, she has to ask her husband to pay for it.
Even if it's just a rough skeleton, tall hall pillars, etc., the reporters didn't miss any details.
Li Zitao and his fiancée brought the three little ones with them, and they also watched with gusto.
I don't know if it's because this ship belongs to me, but I feel majestic and luxurious everywhere I look.
After seeing off Her Royal Highness the Queen, the Queen Mary will be open to the public for three days, allowing everyone to board the ship for a visit.
Once finished, it will be resealed for finishing touches.
"She's so beautiful, I really want to see the day when the Princess is launched soon." Adelaide returned to the hotel, feeling a little excited.
"The shipyard is rushing to work 24 hours a day, and it is expected to be launched in May. By then, I will fill the sky with the colors of fireworks."
Li Zitao hugged his fiancée and said with a smile, sending the kiss immediately.
"Huh——" the little guys grimaced and laughed strangely, and the air seemed to be filled with the smell of lemon.
"I've made a decision. I'll invite royal teachers to study for you when I get home. I can't indulge like this anymore."
After parting her lips, Her Highness the Princess looked at the little ones, and spoke her decision in a calm tone with a smile on her face.
"No~~" Eric held his head in his arms, and Norma and Fia's little faces drooped.
A good life seems to be growing wings, inciting to fly to the distance.
"So, if you don't die, you won't die!" Li Zitao smiled, watching this scene full of love and harmony.
...
...
"Boss, here is the file you want." Knocking on the door of the office, the secretary came in holding the file.
"Well, put it on the table." Jonathan said without raising his head.
"BOSS." The secretary in black silk stood by the table, and said in a soft and coquettish tone, "You haven't played for a long time."
"En?" Looking up at the secretary with misty eyes, Jonathan inserted the pen into the ink screen, leaned back and said, "The cue needs to be cleaned, do you want to come?"
"Yes." The secretary bit her lip and nodded, squatting low under the table.
When he was leaving again, the secretary had a contented smile on his lips, just in time to bump into Juliana who was looking for Jonathan.
Walking into the office, the turbid smell in the air made her frown, and said in a low voice; "It's really disgusting."
"Haven't you done it? A beautiful woman like you will not be pursued, can't it be—"
Jonathan opened his eyes, looking suspiciously in astonishment, as if to say, "Do you have some kind of hidden disease in your body?" Julianna ran away in an instant.
"Asshole, don't use your dirty thoughts to speculate casually. You should put more attention on your wife. Don't forget that you are married."
"That's my private matter. I don't need you to intervene. Is there something wrong?" Jonathan raised his eyelids and turned back lightly.
"Huh——" her chest rose and fell, she took a few deep breaths to keep calm, Juliana said coldly: "The investment department is very dissatisfied with the large overdraft of black card users,
I need the details of your clients and re-evaluate their creditworthiness, your system is too loose. "
"The Centurion Black Card is the business of the General Services Department. What qualifications does the Investment Department have to intervene?" Jonathan raised his eyebrows and said in a low tone.
"But I was part of the money they spent, and that was also the funds of the investment department. We need to ensure the safety of the funds. Is there a problem?" Juliana responded coolly.
"No problem, but they are the top customers of the Comprehensive Services Department, and we have the right to keep the customer's information confidential.
If you want to check the information and re-rate customers, go to the board of directors and talk! "
The tit-for-tat answers caused a strong smell of gunpowder to rise in the office.
Looking at the inkwell on the table, Juliana really wanted to pick it up and smash it on Jonathan's face, "This damned hungry wolf is as cunning as a fox and as greedy as a jackal. '
