Chapter 368 Hong Kong Has a New Sir Yang!
June 9, 1979.
the second Saturday in June this year.
Today is also the official birthday of the Queen of Country Y.
On this day, Country Y will have a day off, and Country Y will also hold a grand celebration for the Queen's official birthday.
The Queen and members of the royal family traveled in a carriage from Buckingham Palace along the Boulevard to Horse Guards Parade.
The parade will go along the shopping center to Whitehall near Downing Street and back again. Many people will gather along the way to watch the Royal Air Force's aerial display.
Among other things, the occasion was marked by a gun salute at noon in central London, with a 41-gun salute fired in Hyde Park, a 21-gun salute in Windsor Great Park and a 62-gun salute fired in the Tower of London.
Not only local citizens can watch the grand scene of the event, but overseas people can also celebrate the Queen's birthday through live broadcast.
Once the parade is over and the royal procession returns to Buckingham Palace, members of the royal family will watch the event from the balcony with the public.
. . .
Yang Ming has been at the Grosvenor House Hotel.
Today is the Queen's official birthday. Among them, the BBC, Reuters, the Sun, the Guardian and other country Y, and even world-class media newspapers and magazines have officially announced a list of Queen's birthday honors.
Except for the important figures in country Y and some federal countries in Y who are on the list.
In the list of MBE honors, Yang Ming appears on the list.
The identity of Yang Ming is very clear on the list.
Include your date of birth, the university you graduated from, and the industry you have contributed to.
Yang Ming is only 25 years old now. In addition to being the chairman of the Empire Group, he is also the chairman of a series of formerly British-owned foreign companies such as the Wharf Group.
It is also mentioned above that in recognition of Mr. Yang's significant contribution to the economic development of Hong Kong, the royal family decided to award him the Order of the Legion. In addition, the Queen will also confer a knighthood of a lower rank.
According to Yang Ming, receiving the MBE medal is not a real knight. You have to obtain a KBE or GBE empire to be called a knight.
In order to show that Mr. Yang's identity is worthy of the honor of knighthood, the Queen specially conferred an additional knighthood of a lower rank.
This lower-level knighthood is only an honorary title.
However, among the published lists, Yang Ming's identity and honors are considered the most special.
Not only is he young, but he is now the richest man in Hong Kong and even the Chinese people. His influence in Hong Kong, especially in business, is really great.
This Queen's birthday honors list is officially announced, so it is naturally legal.
Yang Ming is still at the Grosvenor House Hotel.
The general manager of the hotel has already excitedly come over to say hello to Mr. Yang.
"Mr. Yang, congratulations, you are already a knight."
Jazz?
Didn't Shen Bi tell him two days ago?
Isn’t it just to get an MBE medal?
He was embarrassed to say that he was a knight.
"I'm not a knight yet." Yang Ming said directly.
"Sir Yang, read the newspapers."
Yang Ming saw the detailed report in "The Sun" and he already understood.
It turns out that the MBE he was awarded by the Queen was indeed not enough to be called a knight, so the Queen specially conferred upon him a lower-ranking knight.
This is only honorary, and it is indeed possible to shout "Jazz" openly.
No wonder the hotel general manager is like that.
"Thank you for your congratulations." Yang Ming said.
The white general manager left happily. He didn't expect that Mr. Yang, the chairman of the Imperial Group who had been living here, was now a knight.
Azhu and Zhong Chuhong also came over and asked, "Master, have you really become a knight?"
The two women basically couldn't understand those English newspapers and periodicals. From the English spoken by the white general manager just now, the two women could only understand some of it.
"Maybe the queen is afraid of embarrassing me, so she conferred an extra knighthood on me."
"Master, then you are a knight."
. . .
That afternoon.
Shen Yi came first.
Shen Yi originally thought that the queen only awarded Yang Ming the MBE medal, but now he has actually received a lower-level knighthood. It seems that the British and even the queen really value influence.
In order to win over Mr. Yang, these seemingly valuable and honorary titles were directly awarded to Yang Ming.
"From today on, I will call you Sir Yang."
Shen Bi was really happy for Yang Ming.
Obtaining this title truly makes them one of their own.
Yang Ming thought it would be better to call him Mr. Yang.
These white people like to call others with a title of honor.
"Mr. Shen, we are very familiar with each other. You don't have to be polite."
"Mr. Yang, in that case, when there are other outsiders, I will still call you Sir Yang."
Shen Bi hurriedly came to congratulate Yang Ming.
And left in a hurry.
Zhou Kaixuan, Kayla, Lin Xiuzhi, Tang Shilian, Mai Lisi and others came here at night. They had already read in major newspapers and even on TV that Yang Ming had appeared on the Queen's birthday honors list.
In other words, from now on, even if Yang Ming has not been officially awarded the title, he is indeed a knight, and a very young knight.
For the Chinese in Hong Kong, it is difficult for an old man who is not in his 40s or 50s, or even over 50s or 60s, to receive this honorary knighthood.
Their boss, Mr. Yang, is only in his 20s and has already received this title. Is he an ordinary person?
"You should just call me boss!"
Yang Ming does not like others to call him this title.
Even though, in his previous life, Yang Ming often heard that He Chaoxue's father, He Hongyan, was called Sir He, it actually had a lot to do with this knighthood.
As for when He Hongyan was awarded the knighthood by the Queen, Yang Ming is not quite sure.
However, Yang Ming knows better that He Hongyan prefers others to call him Doctor.
For Yang Ming, whether it is Chairman, Boss, Mr. Yang, Sir Yang, etc., they are just a title.
When the Queen's official birthday honors list was announced, in addition to attracting the attention of many people in Country Y, the news soon spread back to Hong Kong.
After this incident was reported by major media newspapers in Hong Kong, it immediately attracted a lot of attention.
In April, Yang Ming was invited to London.
Now, two months have passed, and Mr. Yang has not returned to Hong Kong. Now, all major newspapers and magazines have suddenly reported that Mr. Yang was awarded the title of Sir by the Queen.
Originally, Yang Ming's trip to London attracted a lot of attention, including a series of news about Yang Ming in London.
Now, how could it not surprise those people to hear that Yang Ming was awarded the title of Sir!
In other words, starting from today.
Hong Kong has one more Sir Yang.
At least in many public occasions, when addressing Mr. Yang in the future, we will no longer call him Mr. Yang, but Sir Yang.
