Chapter 370 Xiangjiang has an extra Sir Yang!
Chapter 370 There is an additional Sir Yang in Xiangjiang!
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 rode a carriage from Buckingham Palace along the boulevard to the Horse Guards Parade Ground.
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.
In addition, the occasion was marked by a midday gun salute in central London, with a 41-gun salute being fired in Hyde Park, a 21-gun salute in Windsor Great Park, and a 62-gun salute being 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 military parade is over and the royal procession returns to Buckingham Palace, members of the royal family will also 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 have officially announced a list of Queen's birthday honors.
Except for important figures from 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, if he obtains the MBE medal, he is not a real knight. He must obtain the 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 among Chinese people. His influence in Hong Kong, especially in business, is indeed great.
This Queen's birthday honors list has been officially announced, so it is naturally legal.
Yang Ming is still at the Grosvenor House Hotel.
The general manager of the hotel has already come over excitedly 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 is embarrassed to say that he is a knight.
"I'm not a knight yet." Yang Ming said directly.
"Sir Yang, please 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-level knighthood.
This is only honorary, and it is indeed enough to shout "Sir" 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. Judging 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 an MBE, but now he actually has an additional 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 honors 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 thinks it would be better to call him Mr. Yang.
These white people like to call others with a kind of honorary title.
"Mr. Shen, we are very familiar with each other, so 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 he is still a very young knight.
As far as the Chinese in Xiangjiang are concerned, it is really difficult for an old man who is in his forties, fifties, or even fifty or sixty to win this honorary knighthood.
Their boss, Mr. Yang, is only in his twenties and has already received this title. Is he an ordinary person?
"You should just call me boss!"
Yang Ming doesn't really like others calling him this title.
Even though, in his previous life, Yang Ming often heard that He Chaoluo's father, Stanley Ho, was called Sir He, in fact, it had a lot to do with the knighthood.
As for when Ho Hongyan was awarded the honor by the Queen, Yang Ming was not sure.
However, Yang Ming knew better that Stanley Ho preferred to be called Doctor.
For Yang Ming, whether it is chairman, boss, Mr. Yang, Sir Yang, etc., it is 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 in major media outlets 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 been seen back in Hong Kong. Now, major news newspapers have suddenly reported that Mr. Yang has been knighted by the Queen.
Yang Ming's trip to London originally received a lot of attention, including a series of news about Yang Ming's stay in London.
Now, it is reported that Yang Ming has won the knighthood. How could those people not be surprised!
That is, starting today.
Xiangjiang has a new Sir Yang.
At least in many public places, when you call Mr. Yang from now on, you will no longer call him Mr. Yang, but Sir Yang.
