Chapter 1556: This is the gap

Until Li Mu left Buckingham Palace in the royal carriage, he didn't understand how much gold this knightly Grand Cross medal was.

Because he felt that it was too stupid to go out with a medal on his chest, Li Mu took off the medal in the carriage, put it in the box, and then handed it to Li Ziwei, who was also in the carriage, and said, "Ziwei, help me collect it." ”

Li Ziwei nodded, and as a result, Li Mu handed over the medal, took off his medal, and then put it in the box, and then put it in his bag.

Anne Hathaway also took off the medal, but she was reluctant to put it away, but held it in the palm of her hand and stared at it without blinking, and after looking at it for a while, her eyes turned red.

Li Mu couldn't help but tease her: "Annie, it's just a medal, don't you cry?"

Anne Hathaway looked at Li Mu and said very seriously: "This medal is too precious, there may only be one or two hundred in the world, so I am in a trance, and I always feel like a dream." ”

Li Mu said with a smile: "You are not British either, this is nothing more than an honor." ”

Anne Hathaway said very seriously: "This reputation alone is already priceless......"

The white people in Europe and the United States are the same in their cultural roots, so they have a special submissive feeling to the royal family, even if the royal family no longer governs the country, the royal family attaches great importance to the honor awarded by the royal family, for Li Mu, a Chinese man with good roots, he has no special feelings for these, and he is only out of polite respect for the royal family, of course, as a businessman, from a business point of view, Li Mu has a certain use of the social influence of the royal halo, and he is not a member of the royal family, but he can use the royal family to enhance the recognition of European and American people。

Li Mu didn't think it was much of an honor in his heart, he always felt that this was a normal courtesy exchange, and in the end, the royal family had to take more advantage, after all, the award was their unique privilege, and there was no actual cost to this thing, but in comparison, the actual value of the gift package he gave to William was so high that it was difficult to change, and the cost behind it was also real, which was basically equivalent to giving William a big project for nothing.

The royal carriage, escorted by the royal guards, made it all the way to the attached palace where Davidson was waiting, and Davidson had received the news in advance and was waiting next to his motorvoy.

The carriage stopped next to the convoy, the captain of the royal guard personally opened the door of the carriage, Li Mu got out of the carriage first, and very gentlemanly helped Li Ziwei and Anne Hathaway out of the carriage one by one.

Davidson hurriedly walked up and asked Li Mudao, "Mr. Li, can we get ready to go?"

Li Mu nodded and said with a smile: "I'm sorry, Davidson, I've kept you waiting." ”

Davidson waved his hand lightly and said with a smile: "It is a great honor for me to accompany you to Buckingham Palace to accept the Queen's invitation. ”

As the head of the Goldberg family, Davidson can control or mobilize assets much better than the royal family, but even so, he must show due respect to the royal family, after all, it is his monarch, if any British citizen is disrespectful to the royal family, it will inevitably be opposed and protested by the whole of Britain.

Li Mu handed the gift box of the medal to Li Ziwei, explaining that she was in a car with Anne Hathaway, and then he thanked the captain of the royal guard, and after doing this, he said to Davidson: "Let's go." ”

Dai Vincent nodded, but his eyes glanced at the gift box that Li Mu handed to Li Ziwei, he himself had been awarded, so he could naturally see that the gift box was used to hold medals, it seems that the queen had awarded Li Mu a medal at Buckingham Palace just now.

However, although the medals are different, the appearance of the gift box does not look bad, so Davidson does not know what level of medal Li Mu has been awarded, which makes him a little curious.

Immediately afterwards, Davidson's eyes caught a glimpse of Li Ziwei's other hand, and there was an identical gift box, and even Anne Hathaway had one in her hand, which made him even more surprised, did the queen also award the two of them? Anne Hathaway is not very famous, and she is very young, Buckingham Palace has never awarded medals to young actors, under normal circumstances, British local actors must at least become international first-line or quasi-first-line to have the opportunity to be awarded, and non-British actors must basically be international superstars if they want to be awarded.

However, Anne Hathaway, as a young American female star, is not eligible for the award no matter how you look at it......

If Anne Hathaway is not qualified to be awarded, then in his opinion, Li Ziwei has no reason to award the award, the queen has awarded medals to celebrities around the world, but has never awarded the assistants of celebrities, which is the same as the Nobel Prize, any Nobel Prize is awarded to the person who directly creates the result, even if sometimes the same achievement will authorize many people, it is because these people have created the most direct contribution to the result, and will never include the personal assistant of a person who created the result in the scope of award.

The queen has awarded Li Mu's personal assistants, isn't this a bit unreasonable?

With a belly full of curiosity, Davidson and Li Mu sat in their Rolls-Royce together.

The convoy then left Buckingham Palace and began its journey to Manchester, escorted by the Royal Guard.

The convoy was moving fast, but the car was extremely quiet, and the rear seat was completely isolated from the driver, but even so, Davidson still asked Li Mu very quietly: "Mr. Li, just now at Buckingham Palace, did the Queen confer a medal on you?"

Li Mu nodded casually: "Granted." ”

Davidson looked like he didn't expect, and asked with a smile, "What level of medal did the queen bestow on you?"

When he asked the question, Davidson had already guessed the most likely answer in his heart, and he felt that the queen should have awarded Li Mu a CBE this time, that is, the middle level of the five ranks, because in the past, foreign entrepreneurs were awarded elite medals, CBE was the highest level, and I had never seen an entrepreneur higher than CBE.

Li Mu thought for a while, and said to Davidson lightly: "The queen said that it was a knighthood Grand Cross. ”

“hat?!”

Davidson was instantly stunned, his eyes seemed to pop out, and he blurted out, "Grand Cross of the Knighthood?!Are you sure it's this level?"

The Grand Cross of the Knighthood, that is the highest level of the Imperial Medal, not to mention that there are very few people who can get this medal, even among the poor people, when the medal is awarded, most of them have already half of their bodies into the loess, Li Mu is so young and a foreigner, how can he get the highest honor of the Imperial Medal?

Li Mu nodded indifferently and said, "That's the level." ”

"My God...... The Queen must be crazy......" Davidson blurted out almost without thinking, still immersed in great shock.

Li Mu deliberately teased him: "What, do you think I am not worthy of accepting this medal?"

Davidson hurriedly waved his hand and explained with a panicked expression: "Mr. Li, don't get me wrong, I definitely didn't mean that, I was just too surprised, because ...... Because the royal family has not yet passed such a precedent, it makes me feel incredible, and it is incredible because I have a deep-rooted understanding of this system, and it is not because you have received this medal that I find it incredible, and I hope you can understand......"

Li Mu laughed and said, "Davidson, don't be so nervous, I'm just joking with you." ”

Davidson breathed a sigh of relief and sighed: "The Grand Cross of the Order of the Lord is so precious, this can be said to be the supreme honor, I really want to congratulate you on becoming the youngest person ever to receive this medal." ”

Li Mu smiled: "You and I are in different cultures, Different backgrounds and different social environments, you have your values, I also have mine, the world is so big, so far, people around the world are completely different in any other field except for the unified values in hard currency, some things are precious to me, but not necessarily worth mentioning to you, some things are precious to you, but in my eyes may not be able to agree, such as this knightly Grand Cross, for you British, it may mean a lot, but for me, it is an honorary title, since it is an honorary title, how much difference can there actually be between the first and fifth degrees?”

Davidson was slightly stunned, and then quickly understood that he attached great importance to this knighthood Grand Cross, and that was entirely because of his own set of values, and Li Mu was not born or raised in the United Kingdom, and he was not educated by this set of values, so this honor that he highly valued was not worth mentioning in Li Mu's eyes, but it definitely did not make him excited.

Thinking of this, Davidson was instantly relieved, and he also instantly understood why Li Mu was able to get this top-level Imperial Medal.

The reason for this is very simple, Li Mu himself is a strange thing that has never appeared in this world before, and there are still a bunch of people in the world who have won the Grand Cross of the Grand Cross, but it is absolutely impossible to find another Li Mulai.

Therefore, from this point of view, Davidson finally understood what Li Mu's indifference and indifference came from, the key to the problem is not whether Li Mu is worthy of this medal, but whether this medal is worthy of Li Mu, and when the royal family members are in front of him, they will feel inferior in their hearts, after all, when they were in front of him, they had the idea that they were useless.

Davidson thought of this, and the feeling of being useless in front of Li Mu came to his heart again.

When people got the Grand Cross GBE, they were light and didn't care, and they didn't sleep for a night when they got a CBE, and they thought about it, this is the gap.
