Chapter 356: Attend the Queen’s Birthday Dinner!
April 21, 1979.
Saturday.
This day is the Queen's real birthday, but it is not open to the public or celebrated outside.
On this day, except for the Queen and her family, and some important people invited to celebrate with her, the Y country officials did not celebrate on this day.
On the contrary, on this day, Hong Kong and other places will also celebrate for the Queen, and on this day, everyone can enjoy a day off.
Four days ago.
Yang Ming has already visited the Queen and her family for the first time.
Today is preparing for the second visit.
Early in the morning.
Yang Ming just woke up, and he was woken up by Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong. After being here for a long time, the jet lag and biological clock gradually disappeared, and he has gradually adapted to the time here.
"Master, are you going to attend the Queen's birthday today?" Ah Zhu asked curiously.
"Yes."
Yang Ming had just visited the Queen for the first time, and the next day Yang Ming was invited by the royal family to attend the Queen's first birthday this year.
That is today.
However, it was this afternoon when Yang Ming went to Buckingham Palace again.
Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong wanted to go and see, but it was not suitable now, so they could not be taken there for the time being.
After washing up, Yang Ming had breakfast in the hotel's luxurious restaurant.
Back to the hotel.
Now Yang Ming is reading the newspaper here.
During this period of time.
In addition to visiting Mrs. Satchel and the Queen, Yang Ming also visited Keira, Zhou Kaixuan, Lin Xiuzhi, and Shen Yi's activities in London.
In addition, this 100-person inspection team.
Among them, led by Barlow, deputy general manager of Empire Games, and Melvin, general manager of Hutchison Soda, they have been investigating the market in Country Y.
One is electronic games.
The other is the beverage market.
Yang Ming knows that historically, electronic games and Red Bull are both very important markets in Europe.
The main reason is that the income of ordinary people here is not low, and they can afford electronic games and Red Bull more than other places.
Historically, Red Bull became popular in the global market when the tycoon from Austria and Xu Shubiao from Siam cooperated to share Red Bull.
The Austrian tycoon made Red Bull popular in Europe and even the world through various advertisements.
This time, there is no Xu Shubiao, nor the Austrian tycoon, but the Empire Group is stronger.
Yang Ming plans to use London as the European headquarters of Red Bull and gradually expand to the markets of various European countries.
Among them, in Europe, he plans to expand several major production bases.
Compared with Europe, the labor cost in Hong Kong is lower. If it comes to Europe by sea, the expenses in various aspects are also very large.
Investing locally is also the most advantageous.
As for Empire Games, Yang Ming plans to establish a European headquarters in London.
In addition to expanding the channels of Empire Games in Europe, on the other hand, Europe has more talents in this area.
Yang Ming can dig up a group of game console talents from Japan, but in the final analysis, local talents must continue to join and constantly replenish fresh blood.
In other words, Europe is the third place with the most talents after Japan and the United States.
Now Barlow and Melvin are investigating the market on behalf of Empire Games and Hutchison Soda Company respectively. They will do these things, and they only need to report the progress to Yang Ming.
At noon.
Yang Ming finished lunch at the hotel.
It was still Western food.
Now even Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong found that they were tired of eating Western food every day.
In the afternoon, Kayla came.
Kayla was wearing a very fitting beige dress.
She was Yang Ming's female companion and attended the Queen's birthday with Yang Ming.
Ah Zhu and Zhong Chuhong envied Kayla a little.
The two girls also knew that they could not do anything if they followed the young master. The most important thing was that there would definitely be a dance party at the Queen's birthday dinner.
They did not know how to dance.
"You rest in the hotel, and Kayla and I will go to the Queen's birthday banquet."
"Yes, young master."
Yang Ming and Kayla came down from the hotel.
They got on the black Rolls-Royce and drove to Buckingham Palace.
At this time, Buckingham Palace was already very lively.
This was the Queen's real birthday. There were no other people except her own royal family members and some specially invited guests.
Buckingham Palace had many servants and guards.
Yang Ming and Keira drove to the main gate of Buckingham Palace.
Get out of the car.
Prince Charles still came out to greet him.
Prince Charles greeted Yang Ming and Keira respectively, and the three of them went inside.
Keira pushed Yang Ming in a wheelchair.
Now, many people already know that Mr. Yang was in a coma for more than three years due to a car accident. After waking up last year, his body is gradually recovering.
Whether he can stand up and walk like a normal person, the outside world does not know now.
It is just that he was found to be in a wheelchair when he traveled.
Yang Ming and Keira followed Prince Charles to the Royal Garden.
The decoration here is already very festive, celebrating the Queen's 56th birthday.
Yang Ming and Keira just arrived inside.
He has already seen Shen Yi's figure.
Originally, Shen Yi wanted to come with Yang Ming, but he came first because he had something to do.
Shen Yi came over to say hello to Yang Ming.
Yang Ming did not expect that the special guests invited by the Queen this time, in addition to Prime Minister Callahan and his wife, Mrs. Satchel and Mr. Satchel also came.
They all greeted Yang Ming.
Yang Ming also greeted them.
19:00 in the evening.
A grand dinner was held in the Royal Dining Room of Buckingham Palace.
This dinner was even grander and more luxurious than when Yang Ming first came to London.
In other words, there were too many dishes in front of each person to count.
Most of them were absolutely impossible to eat, and they would all be thrown away.
Yang Ming, Shen Yi, and Keira sat in their seats, looking at the dozens of different dishes in front of them. For Yang Ming, there were not many that really suited his appetite.
In other words, these looked more delicate, including the porcelain used to hold the dishes, which looked particularly beautiful. Apart from that, they were really not very delicious for him.
During the period, there was also red wine.
Yang Ming drank half a glass and did not drink any more.
The Queen's birthday dinner lasted until 21:00 in the evening.
A full two hours.
Both the Callaghans and Mrs. Satchel and her husband had finished eating.
At this time, the birthday dinner had just ended, and for the Queen's birthday, it had just begun.
Among them, in addition to the next, the most important program.
That is to give birthday gifts to the Queen.
One is given to the Queen by a member of the royal family.
One is given by a specially invited guest.
For these gifts, it is not about the value, but the meaning.
Like Prince Philip gave a diamond ring to the Queen's wife.
Princess Margaret gave her sister a brooch.
Princess Anne gave her mother a fur coat.
There are also gifts from Prince Charles and the other two, which are not of high value, but seem to be more meaningful.
Yang Ming looked over.
Seeing that the pearl necklace that the Queen is wearing on her neck is the one he gave her when he first visited her, he immediately amazed the audience.
In addition, there is Margaret's pearl necklace, which was also given by Yang Ming. When she wears it on her neck, it seems to be no less than the Queen.
There is also the ruby and diamond necklace worn by Princess Anne, which is also very beautiful.
One by one, the guests went up to give gifts.
Like Callaghan, although he is the prime minister of the cabinet, his income is not high, and he dare not be greedy. The gift he gave to the Queen is a red sweater scarf.
This seems to be knitted by Mrs. Callahan herself.
The Queen also expressed her gratitude after receiving it.
Mrs. Satchel and her husband did not have high incomes, so the gifts they gave were naturally very ordinary.
However, Shen Yi was fine. He was the chairman of Huifeng Bank. This time, he gave the Queen a valuable Patek Philippe watch.
This should have been one of the watches Yang Ming gave him. Now, he just took out one and gave it to the other party.
In theory, Mr. Yang had already given a very expensive gift when he visited the Queen for the first time. Today, I am afraid that if he did not give another birthday gift, it would be nothing.
Yang Ming knew that since he was attending the Queen's birthday dinner.
Of course he would not come empty-handed.
When Keira personally presented the gift to the Queen on behalf of Mr. Yang, everyone looked over.
This was another valuable gift.
This was a halo headdress.
When Keira personally opened it for the Queen, the Queen had already noticed it.
This was definitely not an ordinary gift.
"Queen, this is a custom-made headdress that Mr. Yang gave you."
"Thank you Mr. Yang for the gift."
Princess Anne personally put the headdress on her mother, and with the pearl necklace as a backdrop, the Queen's outfit is definitely the most dazzling protagonist.
