Buckingham Palace is the highest political symbol for the United Kingdom, but all the most solemn diplomatic events are basically held in Buckingham Palace, and even many leaders of other countries who visit the United Kingdom also stay at Buckingham Palace.

In fact, the British royal family often invites elites from all walks of life to Buckingham Palace as guests, such as Olympic champions, national football teams and other well-known athletes, as well as popular singers, actors and literary workers, well-known experts and scholars and entrepreneurs.

Not only the elites from all walks of life in the UK will be invited by Buckingham Palace, but even the elites of other countries often become guests at Buckingham Palace, such as Bill Gates and Lee Kar-shing.

Throughout the year, there are dozens of receptions, most of which are non-political activities, and the British royal family hopes to convey the royal family's concern for the whole country and even the whole world through non-political meetings with elites from all walks of life.

After nearly an hour of driving, Li Mu and William's motorcade drove into an area of Buckingham Palace that is not open to the public.

Buckingham Palace is the crowning palace of Britain, even in the whole of Europe, and although the complex here is not as large as Goldberg Manor, it is generally much more refined and luxurious.

In addition to the main palace, there are three affiliated palaces in the whole Buckingham Palace, but at this stage, the degree of openness of Buckingham Palace is very low, and most visitors are blocked in front of the fence outside the front of the main palace, although a large number of tourists are only separated by a wall from Buckingham Palace, but they will hardly have any impact on the normal activities in the palace.

At every gate, entrance, and passage, there are royal guards in red shirts and bearskin hats, these people seem to have little combat effectiveness, but in fact they are all elite units of the British Army, responsible for the security of the entire Buckingham Palace.

After the convoy arrived inside Buckingham Palace through a dedicated corridor, a large number of staff, service staff and members of the royal family had been waiting for a long time, including William's father, Prince Charles.

The setting was extraordinarily grand, with a brand-new red carpet, a neat royal guard of honour, and even the royal orchestra playing the Scottish bagpipes, which was extremely pleasant.

As soon as the bulletproof Jaguar sedan for the royal family came to a stop, an English gentleman about sixty years old stepped forward and opened the door on the side of Li Mu's office, and at the same time, the door on Prince William's side was also opened, so the two got out of the car at the same time.

There were no media reporters at the scene, only two royal photographers shooting a few meters away from the car door, and the shutter sound and fill light did not cause any trouble to Li Mu.

Prince Charles, who was already in his fifties, immediately walked forward with a smile, walked directly across the red carpet, came to Li Mu, stretched out his hand to Li Mu, and said enthusiastically: "Mr. Li, welcome to Buckingham Palace!"

William had already come to the front at this time and said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, this is my father, Charles. ”

Li Mu said politely: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Prince Charles, thank you and other members of the royal family for the invitation, it's a great honor to be here as a guest." ”

Charles said: "We very much hope that Mr. Lee will stay at Buckingham Palace and let William accompany you to visit Buckingham Palace and London's famous attractions, but it is a shame to hear William say that you have a very busy itinerary ahead." ”

Li Mu smiled: "It doesn't matter, next time I come to the UK, I hope there will be a chance to make up for this regret." ”

Charles nodded and said with a smile: "That's certain, anytime Mr. Li comes to the UK, we sincerely welcome you to Buckingham Palace as a guest." ”

Li Mu thanked him, and Charles introduced him to the other royal family members present, and there were a total of seventeen royal family members who came to greet Li Mu outside the palace, which can also show that the entire royal family attaches great importance to Li Mu's arrival.

After shaking hands with everyone one by one, Li Mu walked into the main palace of Buckingham Palace with him, William, and other members of the royal family at the invitation of Charles.

Davidson of the Goldberg family was not treated like this, and since he was not invited, the royal family arranged for him and his caravan to rest in one of the annexed palaces, and although a sumptuous luncheon was also prepared for them, the British royal family did not have the energy to entertain him.

Charles told Li Mu that the elderly queen was waiting in the parlor at this time, and said that the queen had been looking forward to meeting Li Mu and was full of praise for Li Mu.

After coming to the living room, Li Mu saw the queen coming out at first sight, the queen's face is very familiar to Li Mu, when she was a child, she often saw the face of the Queen of England when she watched Hong Kong movies, and when she grew up, the queen often appeared in the news, and she reigned for a long time, which alone made her famous all over the world.

The queen is almost eighty years old this year, but her spirit is exceptionally good, wearing a lilac dress, and wearing a top hat of the same color, elegant and fashionable, and two white flower arrangements on the top hat, in addition, the decorations worn by the queen are also very elegant, pearl earrings, necklaces, brooches, are particularly elegant.

This old man can be regarded as one of the most fashionable old ladies in the world, and his dress is almost a textbook-level model of European aristocracy.

Seeing Li Mu, the queen smiled kindly, not at all the slightest sign of a country's monarch, after shaking hands with Li Mu, she sighed: "I have been looking forward to meeting Mr. Li, today finally got my wish, in my eyes, Mr. Li can be said to be the most outstanding young man in the world, it is my honor to be able to meet you here." ”

Li Mu could not afford the "honor" of the queen, and hurriedly said humbly: "Your Majesty, it is my honor to be summoned by you, and I am just an ordinary businessman, not the most outstanding young man. ”

The queen looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "My highest expectations for my grandchildren are less than one-tenth of Mr. Li's achievements today, take William as an example, he is my eldest grandson, and I have the highest hopes for him, but my expectations for him are nothing more than hoping that he can successfully complete his studies, and hope that he can have more talents, insights and abilities than most people, and will not be able to embarrass the British royal family and the Windsor family in the future. ”

Li Mu hurriedly said: "I spent a few days with William in the Goldberg family, to be honest, William is a very good young man, I think his ability, talent and personality charm are stronger than me, but the two of us choose different directions, I choose to devote my energy to the Internet field, and William hopes to become a qualified royal heir, in an old Chinese saying, both of us are specialized in art." ”

The queen didn't expect Li Mu to speak so modestly, and she also gave William such a big affirmation, her face was full of happy smiles, she pulled him like a grandmother, and then pulled William, and sighed: "The two of you are of the same age, and it is rare to be able to talk so speculatively, I believe that you will be able to become very good friends in the future." ”

Speaking of this, the queen looked at Li Mu and said with a serious face: "Mr. Li, William has a very strong sense of family and country, and he has hoped to make a contribution to this family, to this royal family, to this country and even the world since he was a child, but I have always felt that sometimes his eyes are too focused, which will lead to a lack of breadth and a lack of overall vision of the problem." ”

William on the side was not embarrassed at all when his grandmother said this, and said jokingly: "Your Majesty, you can't use Mr. Li's achievements to ask me, just like you said, the gap between me and him is too big." ”

The queen smiled and said: "I don't ask you for Mr. Li's achievements, achievements require many factors, not only your internal conditions, but also many external conditions to decide, such as the direction you choose, external opportunities, the development and changes of the current situation, and even a lot of luck, however, I think, you should learn from Mr. Li's vision and his way of looking at problems." ”

As she spoke, the queen looked at Li Mu and said with a smile: "William told me some time ago that he wanted to join the Royal Air Force and serve the country, I think this is a good direction, but it may not be a smart direction, for so many years, when members of the royal family think of contributing to the country, the first thing that comes to mind is to join the army;"

"Even when I was young, during the bombing of London by the Germans, I volunteered to go to the front to operate the searchlight, and both of my sons joined the army, my eldest son joined the Royal Navy, my second son joined the Royal Air Force, and William and his younger brother wanted to join the army;"

"Although I don't want to dampen their enthusiasm for joining the army, I can't help but ask myself, is the only way for the men of the entire Windsor family to dedicate themselves to the country is to join the army? If it is, then it proves that our thinking mode is too fixed, and lack of sense of innovation, the most important thing is the lack of overall situation, as a soldier, can only be an individual to contribute to the country meager strength, but if you can achieve a career, you can contribute more strength to the country with greater ability, a person wants to contribute to the country, the best way is not how much strength to contribute, but should find a way to improve themselves, first accumulate strong strength, and then go to a steady stream of help for the construction and development of the country, unfortunately, William does not have this concept now……”

Immediately, the queen paused, and said: "This is like Mr. Li, if you are just a young man in his 20s, the contribution you can make to Huaxia and the world is actually very small, but now you have created Makino Technology and created so many great causes, at this time, your contribution to the world has exceeded the vast majority of people in this world, which is also my expectation for William's future." ”
