Siheyuan: If I marry Qin Huairu, I will become stronger by showing off.

The first batch of Xuanwu heavy-duty dump trucks produced by the "Oriental Automobile Factory" consisted of only one hundred vehicles.

Fifty of them were sold to "Oriental Real Estate", and the remaining fifty were donated to the Governor's Office by Wu Youde free of charge to support the construction and development of Kowloon.

The price of an Oriental Xuanwu heavy-duty dump truck is as high as 150,000 yuan!

Fifty cars, that’s seven and a half million yuan!

Just donated it so lightly...

At the donation ceremony,

Grantham held Wu Youde's hand tightly, shook it vigorously for a long time, and said gratefully: "Thank you! Wu, you are such a generous gentleman!

On behalf of all Kowloon residents, I would like to thank you for your generosity. Thank you!"

Wu Youde smiled and said, "Your Excellency the Governor, you don't have to be polite. We are friends, and there is no need to say these things between friends. There is an old saying in our East...

Being poor cares themselves, being wealthy cares the world.

Now that I have the ability to help more people, I am naturally happy to do so!

I only hope that Kowloon will become better and better, more civilized, more orderly, and more developed under your governance, and become a pearl in the whole of Asia!

Likewise, I hope that our friendship will last forever!"

"Ha ha ha ha……"

"Goodgood! Wairigood!!"

Hearing this,

Grantham laughed happily. He patted Wu Youde's hand, shook it twice, and said with a smile: "I will. As long as I am in Kowloon, I will do my best to make Kowloon better and better!"

Ok?

This is a bit interesting...

Wu Youde smiled. In fact, the governor should have been replaced as early as 1957.

In the original history, Grantham resigned.

However, for some unknown reason, Grantham was re-elected...

Wu Youde guessed that this should be the Queen's intention.

For Margaret and for his cheap brother-in-law.

Then Grantham said this...

It seems that he should have guessed the inside story, and then he said this at this time, as if he was hinting to me that he also wanted to stay in Kowloon and continue to be the Governor of Hong Kong...

Do you want to be re-elected for the next term?

Wish you could do more?

Pillow talk?

Thinking of this,

Wu Youde found it a little funny. Is there also a day when we have to persuade others with someone’s pillow?

Ok……

In the afternoon, I went to the top of the mountain with Margaret to find a big rock to play cards and improve our relationship. It just so happened that she was still depressed two days ago because she didn't give birth to a baby for me...

Then I have to work harder this time!!

Thinking about these,

Wu Youde smiled and nodded, "That's great. I sincerely hope that the Governor can stay in Kowloon forever. This is a blessing for all the people of Kowloon!"

This is not nonsense, nor is it flattery.

With Wu Youde's current position, he has the support of the princess and the queen. He is not afraid of anyone, let alone needs to be wary of anyone.

He said this completely from the bottom of his heart. Grantham was a capable and resourceful man who cared about the suffering of the people and attached importance to local order and security.

At the same time, he is open-minded and willing to make many changes for the economic prosperity and development of Kowloon.

Unlike some chief officials, who are conservative, self-contained, reject all new things, and resist and suppress the development of science and technology...

And there is,

Wu Youde and Grantham have worked well together in recent years and have a good personal relationship. They are both friends and partners.

If there is another person,

No matter who it is, the relationship has to be started from scratch, which not only requires a lot of energy, but also a lot of material and financial resources, and there is no guarantee that they will get along happily!

That's why he doesn't want to replace someone else as governor!

Hearing Wu Youde's implicit promise, Grantham felt better. He shook Wu Youde's hand and laughed, "Thank you!!"

The scene of the two men shaking hands and chatting cheerfully was captured by many newspaper reporters at the scene and was reported in major newspapers in Kowloon the next day.

The news of donating 50 large trucks at once was earth-shattering and instantly sparked heated discussions among the people of Kowloon...

"Oh my goodness, fifty trucks have been donated, and they are all new. How much are they worth? I think it must be at least four or five million, right?"

"It's definitely more than that. Didn't you see it in the newspaper? That big truck is a new heavy-duty truck that the Oriental Automobile Factory spent years researching and developing. It has a load capacity of 30 tons! Do you know what that means?"

"What do you mean by that? Don't you have trucks on your construction site, Lao Wang? How does this Dongfang Xuanwu truck compare to the trucks on your construction site? Which one is better?"

"The truck we use at our construction site is a Bedford truck bought from London, and its load capacity is only four tons. Can you see what the newspaper says about the load capacity of the Dongfang Xuanwu truck?"

"hiss!!!"

"Thirty tons? Oh my god! This one truck can block the seven trucks at your construction site...hiss!!!"

"Thirty tons! Can it carry thirty tons of cargo? This is too powerful! This truck is so awesome, no wonder it looks so majestic!"

"That's not all. Most trucks can't unload their cargo by themselves. Look at the Dongfang Xuanwu truck. Its cargo bed can even be lifted up to unload its cargo by itself..."

"Oh my god! This is so awesome! No wonder it took five years to develop this car. It's so fucking awesome! I'm going to go out and take a look at it later. I want to see what the real car looks like..."

"This car is so awesome. It can load and unload automatically. This car must be worth hundreds of thousands, right? These fifty cars combined... must be worth tens of millions!"

"hiss!!!"

"Hiss..."

"Dongfang Wu is getting more and more generous. He's such a spendthrift! He just gave away 10 million yuan. How nice of him to give it to me? I don't ask for more. I'll be satisfied if you give me 10,000 yuan!"

"Dream on with your Spring and Autumn Dreams. Can you compare with Dongfang Wu?"

"That's right! Ten million is nothing to Dongfang Wu. It's not worth mentioning at all. He doesn't feel sorry for it. Only poor people like us would feel sorry for it..."

"It's so irritating to compare people to each other..."

"But to be honest, Dongfang Wu is becoming more and more generous, what a man! I used to believe that all businessmen are dishonest and all rich are unkind!! There is not a single good rich person in this world, they are all greedy and treacherous, otherwise how could they be so rich?

But since I got to know Mr. Wu...

Then I realized that I was narrow-minded and had a shallow vision. There are also good rich people in this world, and Mr. Wu is a very good rich man!

Don't be fooled by the fact that he has many businesses and makes a lot of money...

But he also made a lot of contributions to society!

For example, the price of electricity from Dongfang Power Plant, is it cheap? How much did one kilowatt-hour cost before? How much does one kilowatt-hour cost now? It is nearly half cheaper! !

If you buy another Oriental TV at home, your home electricity will be cheaper and you can also get free power cords!

There are also Dongxing Water Company and Dongxing Bus. The prices are much cheaper than before, right?

Mr. Wu donated so many trucks to the Governor's Office this time, so the Governor's Office will definitely use these trucks to build Kowloon in the future...

As residents of Kowloon, aren't we also enjoying the benefits in disguise? "

"Hmmmm...you're right..."

"Dongfang Wu is good, I am very optimistic about him!"

……

Just a few days after Wu Youde donated 50 Dongfang Xuanwu trucks,

Grantham visited in person and said that he had summarized Wu Youde's contributions to Kowloon in recent years and presented it to Her Majesty the Queen...

In his letter, Grantham suggested that Her Majesty the Queen should commend Wu Youde.

"Oh?"

Wu Youde was somewhat surprised and curious, and asked with a smile: "Did His Majesty reply? What did he say?"

Grantham nodded with a smile, then stood up, put away his smile, and said seriously: "Please go to the Council Hall at ten o'clock tomorrow morning to attend Sir Wu's awarding ceremony!"

"..."

Wu Youde was stunned on the spot.

Sir Wu?

Hey!

Can!!

……

the next morning,

Wu Youde was neatly dressed, with a well-ironed suit, shiny leather shoes, and his hair was combed meticulously. His already peak appearance was even more off the charts!

The moment he appeared in the council hall, he instantly attracted everyone's attention, and the gazes of the women were the most intense and fierce!

For this kind of gaze,

Wu Youde had already adapted to it over the years. He was calm and composed, as if he hadn't noticed anything. He walked up to the stage with a smile on his face...

Since Grantham did not specify what medal Her Majesty the Queen had awarded yesterday, when he heard Grantham announce that on behalf of Her Majesty the Queen of the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland, he had awarded Wu Youde the Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire (KBE)...

Wu Youde is crazy!

What the hell!

KBE? ? ?

This medal is awesome!

The Imperial Order of the Great Eagle is the most outstanding medal in the United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland. It is a chivalric medal in the British honors and awards system. The medal is divided into civil and military categories, with a total of 5 levels.

They are:

Knight Grand Cross of the Order of the British Empire, abbreviated as "GBE".

Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire, abbreviated as "KBE" for men and "DBE" for women.

Commander of the Order of the British Empire, abbreviated as "CBE".

Officer of the Order of the United States, abbreviated as "OBE".

Member of the Order of the United Kingdom, abbreviated as "MBE".

In these five levels,

Only those who have won the top two grades of honors can be considered to have obtained the title of knighthood, and the title "Sir/Dame" can be added before their English names, or the title "Jazz/Dame" can be added after their Chinese names.

It is worth mentioning that,

Later, Li Chaoren was awarded the "Knight Commander of the Order of the British Empire" by the Queen herself, but he did not receive this medal directly.

He was initially awarded the CBE, or Commander of the Order of the British Empire, and then a few years later was awarded the KBE.

Thinking about these,

Wu Youde felt extremely happy. He had snatched the honor from Li Chaoren. It was very likely that the other party would not receive this medal again in the future.

correct,

From now on, I am also a person with a title, a true "Sir Wu"!

Hey?

Thinking of this, Wu Youde felt happier and in a better mood. With a bright smile on his face, he took the golden, silver, and heavy medal from Grantham with both hands...

In addition to awarding Wu Youde the Knight's Medal,

Grantham also announced that he would award Wu Youde the title of "Justice of the Peace" in the name of the Governor of Kowloon. He then summarized, highly praised and thanked Wu Youde for his contributions to Kowloon over the years.

And a Justice of the Peace?

Wu Youde was happy, because this title was even more famous and almost everyone knew it. In fact, this title was just a title, nothing more, and it had no real power.

The main functions of a Justice of the Peace are:

To inspect penal institutions, detention centres or other institutions to ensure that they are managed effectively and that no person is treated unfairly or has his or her rights deprived.

Justices of the Peace ensure that complaints made by individuals are handled in a fair and transparent manner and that community peace is maintained.

There are too many people who have won this title, and many of those who are famous in Kowloon have won this title.

For example, Andy Lau.

Well, to sum it up in one sentence: Justice of the Peace is not as good as the Commander-level Knight Medal!

Far worse!

After all, one is issued by the Queen and the other is only issued by the Governor-General.

But having something is better than nothing, Wu Youde happily accepted the medal representing the identity of "Justice of the Peace" with a smile on his face, then walked to the microphone and gave a passionate speech.

I will continue to contribute to Kowloon in the future...

Continue to work for the well-being of the people of Kowloon...

Under the leadership of Governor Grantham, the Council will vigorously develop Kowloon and make it more beautiful and more prosperous...

Etc., etc.

Not surprisingly,

The news that Wu Youde was awarded the Knighthood Medal by Her Majesty the Queen has caused a heated discussion in all walks of life in Kowloon. There are countless people who envy him and countless people who are jealous...

But the same thing is,

The name "Oriental Wu" is becoming more and more famous in Kowloon. When these three words are mentioned, people's hearts are shocked and their expressions change involuntarily.

A person’s name is like a tree’s shadow!

As for Wu Youde,

Receiving this commander-level knight medal actually had little impact on him. It was just a title. Since receiving this medal, everyone has spontaneously changed the way they address him.

He used to be called "Mr. Wu", but now he is called "Sir Wu" or "Sir".

And there is,

He had been at the "Princess Palace" almost all this time. The Queen gave him such face by directly giving him a knighthood. This must have been for Margaret's sake.

Otherwise, I would definitely not give you this medal right away!

As the saying goes, courtesy comes first.

The Queen was far away, and he had cousin Philip who often drank Guilingji wine, so naturally he didn't need to thank her himself. Wu Youde had to "vent" all his gratitude on Margaret...

Anyway, they are sisters with deep affection and have always had a good relationship.

Serving Margaret is very comfortable. This can be considered as a disguised way of thanking the Queen, right?

therefore,

Wu Youde first took Margaret, who was wearing a white European-style court dress, to the top of the mountain and found a flat, wide rock to play cards...

Later, she was asked to wear a black cheongsam with red rose embroidery and a high slit, flesh-colored stockings and high heels, and went on a picnic in a dense forest...

have to say,

A blonde, curvy foreign girl wearing a cheongsam is such a great visual experience!

After seeing it, Wu Youde raised the flag on the spot and drank first as a sign of respect!
