Chapter 2795 Different Fireworks

"Queen?" Feng Yiping looked away from the computer, rubbed his eyes with his palms, and when he opened his eyes again, he felt like he was facing a new world. The computer, the desks and chairs, and Jin Ling sleeping on the sofa were particularly clear in his eyes. The brightly lit city outside the window was like a new world.

The light path composed of lights illuminated the darkness and extended straight into the distance, until the end of the sky at the end of the sight.

"A title? I have no interest at all," he said firmly.

It's not that he thinks the so-called monarch is the relic of the decadent feudal society, and the aristocracy is the representative of the evil bourgeoisie, nor is it because he remembered the British invasion of us in the last century, the hypocritical escapes without military honor on the battlefield in South Asia during World War II, or the various double standards they have targeted and made things difficult for us over the years...

He just felt that I am a super rich man who is doing well, why should I kneel respectfully in front of an old... lady who has nothing to do with me in public, and let her press a big sword on my shoulder?

I'm not that cheap.

Not to mention, it was the power represented by that person or her family that opened the prelude to our modern suffering of being invaded and colonized more than a hundred years ago?

Let me kneel to her?

Even if I kneel, I have to strictly follow this and that etiquette?

I'm not crazy, and I'm not crazy.

Cummins was silent for a long time after hearing this. He really didn't know how to respond to his boss's words.

When you mention the British royal family, you think of them awarding you honors. What a feeling...

Then comes surprise and admiration.

Let alone him, he believes that most people in the United States and the world, including those super-rich people who don't care much about anything, will not care so much about the British royal family's awarding of honors.

Take Bill Gates for example. In 2005, didn't he also wear a suit and tie neatly, shake hands with the Queen of England with both hands, and kneel on one knee in front of her?

His boss is indeed not an ordinary person.

But since this matter was unusual, he had to explain tactfully, "Boss, the Queen of England does confer honors on people twice, on her birthday and on New Year's Day,"

"But such things are usually announced to the public one year in advance, usually through the British Foreign Office,"

That is to say, at least this year, the British royal family will not plan to confer you a knighthood.

Feng Yiping did not ask at this time, "So have there been any exceptions?"

He felt that for the money he made this year, he was fully qualified to make an exception. After all, that would be a high income that would make the British royal family, who were also representatives of the rich, jealous.

And the UK is now particularly short of money.

There are also ready-made reasons. His company, whether it is Facebook or YouTube, has brought great changes to the world. His company has so many branches in the UK, which has created many jobs for them, paid a lot of taxes, and just spent 650 million pounds to acquire a landmark building in London...

But if you ask like that, it would seem that you are very rare for the title, which is too embarrassing.

"Oh, that's good,"

But Cummins felt that his answer might make the boss feel a little embarrassed?

If the boss realized from his silence that he felt that he was too self-righteous, it would be a bit bad, or rather, quite bad.

Such a handsome and sunny, wise and shining, outstanding and generous... boss is hard to find in the world, even with lanterns and Kongming lanterns.

He said quickly, "But boss, it is very likely that after this meeting, it will be announced that you will be awarded next year."

"Really?" Feng Yiping did not comment, "What are the benefits of having those British titles?"

Jin Ling, who was awakened by his phone call, thought at this time, hey, this is the core of the person I am familiar with.

But Cummins on the opposite side was a little speechless for a while.

What are the benefits of accepting the honors of the British royal family? Such a question, is there any need to ask?

In this era, it is not surprising to become a rich man, but to be awarded by the British royal family, you are a noble! A noble!

Feng Yiping: Noble? How much per pound?

And you have to kneel first, you are a kneeling tribe, right?

But as someone who knows Feng Yiping, Cummins also understands what Feng Yiping means. In fact, the honors bestowed by the British royal family do not seem to have the significance that the boss expects.

Land? That's impossible.

Not to mention lifelong nobles like Lords, even hereditary nobles like dukes, marquises, earls, viscounts, and barons have not been granted land since hundreds of years ago.

Not to mention land, even houses are impossible.

Not to mention real estate like cucumbers that have nothing to do with the royal family, the boss will not return the money for the mansion that you actually rented from the queen to let you live for free.

Salary? There is no such thing either.

The British, whose foundation is getting thinner and thinner, are stingy. It's good enough that they don't charge you according to your rank...

However, that means that you have entered the ranks of the nobility from now on, and you are no longer an ordinary person. You can get the authoritative certification and certificate to enter the upper-class social circle. Isn't that enough?

From now on, when others call you in formal social occasions, they will definitely add "Sir" in front of you. Isn't that enough?

Oh, the boss won't care about this.

Whether in the United States or China, he prefers to be called by his name.

Oh, yes, with such a title, you can enter and use those facilities that were previously closed to ordinary people. For example, from now on, you can use those churches that are exclusively used by nobles to get married, baptize your children, etc.

Okay, the boss is someone who cares about these treatments?

"It seems, maybe... no?"

After receiving the call from the UK, he excitedly called Feng Yiping immediately and completely forgot to find out the details.

He has already checked the information on the computer.

Feng Yiping didn't care that Cummins gave him such a very vague answer, "So, if we don't accept it, will it have a negative impact on us?"

Obviously, if you don't accept it, it means you don't give people face.

And those people, speaking of it, only have these face-saving things left.

Cummins couldn't help but say another sentence, "Boss, they just said that because of the company's outstanding contribution to society, they hope to meet with you,"

It's not a knighthood or honor, boss.

But he checked it out and found that the boss might really be honored, because the person who can be honored can be proposed by Downing Street or the British Foreign Office.

Given the changes that the boss has brought to the world and the boss's investment in the UK, the British Prime Minister might really make such a proposal.

"I'm talking about meetings," Feng Yiping said, "You know, I hate meetings that require following such hypocritical rules the most."

He knows that many people, not to mention other countries or the Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, should also have many people in the mainland who would regard such meetings as an honor, but he just feels from the bottom of his heart that such meetings are troublesome and useless.

Why does he need such an experience to highlight his uniqueness or make himself superior?

"If I refuse such a meeting, will it have a negative impact on the development of our business in the UK and Europe?"

"Let me put it this way, Cummins, if it's Downing Street, I would be more willing, of course, I also find it troublesome,"

Now meeting these heads of state or government is also not a big deal for him, and sometimes, these things are also useless.

But boss, do you know that your refusal to meet such a meeting may be precisely because you don't give Downing Street face, because Buckingham Palace may have issued such an invitation because of Downing Street's proposal.

But considering that his previous answer could not satisfy the boss, "Boss, I need some time. We will give you a reply after comprehensive evaluation."

"Okay, I'll wait for you,"

Feng Yiping put down the phone. Can you guys just have fun in your castle quietly and don't bother me?

There are many things waiting for me to do.

Jin Ling came over, "So straightforward?"

"I'm not interested in playing Cosplay," Feng Yiping said.

"There are not many opportunities to get close to them. Are you not interested at all?"

"You know, I've never been interested in cultural relics," he said without raising his head.

After a while, he asked after realizing it, "Are you interested?"

Jin Ling also shook his head, "I'm not interested at all,"

The key is, what if I'm interested?

How can you take me to such an occasion?

What's your name?

On the other side, in Silicon Valley, Cummins couldn't help but stand there stupidly for a while after putting down the phone. Huh, boss, boss...

ps: Happy New Year, dears! It's time to have a holiday today, and go home smoothly!
