Chapter 109: Bestowal Ceremony

Lan Jiawei, who originally planned to leave Europe and go home, got good news again, because there were British royals who participated in the last super meeting, the title deed of his estate in the United Kingdom has been separated from the judicial process under the interference of the British royal family, and it has been resolved by agreement, and only Lan Jiawei needs to pay the maintenance and repair costs for these years.

Since the manor is no less than 600 years old, and the British side has searched the relevant information, it is determined that the original builder was a lord with the title of earl. Lan Jiawei quickly asked Ash to contact Merlin and explain the situation, and a new generator was sent to the UK first to get more initiative for him.

Due to the scarcity of energy, the UK's electricity supply is barely maintained, and the new generators will bring further development to the whole country, and many businesses that rely on electricity will no longer have to worry about the lack of electricity.

After deliberation by the British royal family, on the grounds that the estate itself is hereditary, no matter how Lan Jiawei's title deed came from, but his selflessness to Britain in terms of new technology, it should be no problem to grant him a baron. So Lan Jiawei had to terminate his plan to go home, and after saying goodbye to Renee, he flew to London, England again to participate in the latest Queen's Investiture Ceremony.

In fact, when Lan Jiawei was on the planet Mill, he was the sworn brother of the human king Lantes, and he was a duke conferred by the empire. But now it's very good to be a baron on Earth, and after getting the news, I feel more satisfied, which is already nominally a noble. And because of the influence of Lantes's upright personality, he especially likes to carry the chivalry of the medieval style, and now every time he thinks of the experience of going out on adventures with Lantes and the dwarf Oggen, and fighting dragons, dark elves, and demons, his blood is boiling.

The estate is located in Kent, England, a place known as the Garden of Europe, I really don't know how the Nazis got the title deeds of this place, and the area is more than 20 acres, which was a small city in England near the Middle Ages.

Since the manor is not very far from London, and the award ceremony will not be held until seven days later, Lan Jiawei bought a Bentley convertible sports car in London and planned to go to the manor for a few days to see how it was going. The maintenance costs in the early stage have been paid under the operation of the accountant, so now the property rights of the manor have belonged to Lan Jiawei.

The British butler is very famous, and Lan Jiawei directly asked Ash to search on the Internet, contacted a 40-year-old male job seeker from Ellsbury, Cork Gale, and agreed to wait for him in a London hotel.

The appointed time was 2 o'clock in the afternoon, and when the doorbell rang, Lan Jiawei looked at the local time displayed by Xiao Zhi, and at 2 o'clock in the afternoon, there was no deviation for a minute, which made him have a new understanding of the British housekeeper again.

After opening the door, Lan Jiawei saw a middle-aged man wearing a black suit and a clean white shirt, standing straight all over, showing a unique self-cultivation. Smiling and leading him in, Lan Jiawei asked him to sit down and sat down himself, and then the two began to talk.

"Mr. Kirk Gale? Your information shows that you have experience in butler service, how did you leave your job? Lan Jiawei actually asked knowingly, and Ash clearly displayed his photos and information.

"Mr. Lan, I'm Cork Gale, the employer I worked for died a few years ago, his son doesn't like traditional things, and most of us service workers have been dismissed."

"Oh, that's a pity. I have a manor house in Kent, I need a lot of service staff, but I don't come and live very often, my main career is in the United States, I only come here occasionally, you don't have to worry about the salary, I'll pay for it."

"Okay, Mr. Lan, I would love to work for you, and if you need more service staff, I'll bring in all the original colleagues."

Raised his hand and looked at the watch that Ash had become, "Cork, let's go over and see the manor together, you can feel the environment first, nothing else, right?" ”

"Nothing else, Mr. Lan, I'm honored," Cork smiled professionally

Walking into the hotel's parking lot, Cork saw the luxury Bentley sports car and got a glimpse of the financial capabilities of his new employer. Of course, he wouldn't let Lan Jiawei drive by himself, Cork drove a sports car under the guidance of Lan Jiawei, and soon arrived at the manor at more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon.

Ash had already imitated the master's voice to order food in a nearby town and let them deliver it to the manor, Lan Jiawei and Cork drove around the huge manor of more than 80,000 square meters, Cork saw that Lan Jiawei was not very familiar with this place, and hesitated without asking.

But Lan Jiawei saw it and smiled: "I recently got this manor, and it is the first time I have come, and I will stay in the UK for a few days to participate in the latest award ceremony."

"Oh, I beg your pardon, what kind of title are you? Mr. Lan", the British butler has always been proud of serving the aristocracy, which makes Cork, who began to think that Lan Jiawei is a nouveau riche, a little embarrassed.

"Baron, you will be my subordinate in the future, and I won't hide it from you, in fact, my career is mainly in the United States, and in recent years, the material hydrogen and sodium factor, and the nuclear fusion generator are all my technology", Lan Jiawei said with a calm smile

"It turns out that you are the legendary rich man, you look at my memory, I have read the report before, but I didn't remember for a while, it is a pity that your two racing horses have retired", Cork is also obviously a horse fan.

"Cork, let's do it, although the manor is very large, I only need basic maintenance personnel, because I don't live there very often, how many people do you think is appropriate? In addition, I think you need a car, an electric car on the estate, and a horse."

"Okay, sir, I don't think it's okay to have 10 people in such a large manor, I'll deal with the rest as soon as possible", Cork didn't dare to slack off after learning about Lan Jiawei's identity.

"The relevant employment agreement, let's handle it as soon as possible, and you can see that the matter of gathering people is done, I will ask the accountant to contact you and set up a separate account in the UK for the management of the manor."

Lan Jiawei said that he contacted Cork because there would definitely be a landline phone in the estate, which was one of the basic facilities. There's no need to ask for nonsense like a mobile phone number.

"Yes, sir," Cork heard the electric bell, got up and opened the electric door, and the delivery man brought dinner at about six o'clock.

In the next few days, after signing the employment agreement himself, Cork quickly contacted his original subordinates and gathered nine people to participate in the management of the estate, including gardeners, cooks, cleaners, etc.

And the salary offered by Lan Jiawei made everyone feel very satisfied, and they all knew that the owner of the farm would not live here permanently, so everyone felt satisfied with such a relaxed and comfortable salary life.

The British housekeepers basically have their own special cars, and they are all equipped for them by the owner, so Lan Jiawei specially bought a Rolls-Royce for Cork to use, and bought a small truck for the transportation of goods in the manor.

The daily maintenance costs have a separate account like the estates in France and Switzerland, and will be reviewed by their own accounting team according to the submitted plan and approved by Lan Jiawei.

After arranging the affairs of the manor, Lan Jiawei received a call from director Anthony the day before attending the award ceremony, saying that their filming in New Zealand had been completed and they were planning to return to the United States to make up some shots in the studio.

After thinking about the time, Lan Jiawei was too late to go to New Zealand to observe because he was going to attend the award ceremony, so he asked the crew members to take a plane back to the United States by themselves, and meet with everyone again after he returned.

The next day, an hour before the ceremony, Lan Jiawei rushed outside the palace where the queen was, and the last time the super-meeting was attended by a less conspicuous prince named Arthur and the husband of a princess, who had received the news of his arrival, and his princess wife had come to greet the increasingly powerful rich man on behalf of the royal family.

After being politely introduced into the lounge,

Lan Jiawei found that this award ceremony was probably due to his own coincidence, and there were several other people waiting inside, Prince Arthur said in a low voice: "Jiawei, His Royal Highness the Prince will meet you after the ceremony, you make some preparations", after seeing him nod knowingly to show his understanding, he smiled and greeted the others before leaving.

The awarding of knighthoods to yellow people is nothing new, for example, the original Li Fuhao in Hong Kong was granted a knighthood by the queen. After chatting with a few other people, I know that almost all of them have obtained the title of baron or viscount, and there is almost nothing at the top.

When the ceremony began, Lan Jiawei was placed in the last place because he joined temporarily, and it was also for him to familiarize himself with the procedures for awarding the medal.

Speaking of which, this queen looks very old, and her body seems to be really good, and she only rested for a short time for nearly 2 hours. When it was Lan Jiawei's turn, the queen read out the decree of the medal instead of what had been promised, and became Marquess, the second rank of the knighthood, only one level below the highest duke. Although he felt in his heart that the royal family must have something to ask for in order to be like this, Lan Jiawei still calmly completed the procedure.

He didn't understand the British rules for awards, and the other people who had obtained the knighthood and were still waiting for the ceremony to end showed shocked expressions, the queen has rarely given a title above the baron in recent decades, unless it is a person who has made special contributions and led great progress to receive this honor, and he must have British nationality, not to mention the almost closed marquis, these Lan Jiawei don't seem to have it, right?
