As soon as Gu Chen finished talking to Margaret Thatcher on the phone, the phone call from Hong Kong Governor Wilson came: "Mr. Governor is calling at this time to invite me to lunch?" ”

Recently, he and Wilson have walked into a lot, this is not because he took the initiative, but Wilson has invited him many times, after all, he is the governor of Hong Kong, he can't be too faceless, so he went to a few appointments, he thought that Wilson called today and wanted to ask him to play golf or something.

"Hehe, if Mr. Gu has time, I would be very happy." There was a strange Chinese voice from Wei Yixin.

Gu Chen chuckled a few times, he didn't have time to have dinner with Wei Yixin in his free time: "It seems that Mr. Governor has a serious matter in calling me today." ”

"That's right, tomorrow morning at 1o'clock, Prince Charles and Princess Diana will visit Hong Kong, and I hope Mr. Gu can attend the welcome ceremony."

Gu Chen's face suddenly showed a trace of helplessness when he heard this, tomorrow is the opening day of Zhou Huimin's gallery, the time is half past nine in the morning, he had already promised to go, but now it seems that he can only miss the appointment: "Okay, I will appear at the Governor's Mansion on time tomorrow morning." ”

After hanging up the phone, he suddenly had a question, such a major event as the visit of the British crown prince and his wife to Hong Kong should have been prepared for a long time, why he only received the notice the day before the visit to the wèn, it seems a little unreasonable, the only explanation is that Prince Charles and Princess Diana's visit to Hong Kong is a temporary decision made by the British royal family, or the British government.

He did not delve into the issue, and the British royal family had long been deprived of real power. Their rule over the United Kingdom and the Commonwealth is only nominal, so the visit of Prince Charles and Princess Diana to Hong Kong is more symbolic, and similar visits to the British royal family often do. One of the aims is to increase the influence of the British mainland on overseas territories and Commonwealth members.

The other is to highlight the positive image of the royal family and reflect the sense of existence of the royal family, you must know that there are many calls for the abolition of the monarchy in the United Kingdom, and in order to ensure the continuation of the monarchy, the British royal family must always maintain the positive image and influence of the royal family.

He looked at the time, it was already lunch time, so he got up and left the office, and at noon he asked Zhou Huimin to eat together......

The convoy of greetings departed from the Governor's Palace. Gu Chen sat in the car and looked at both sides of the road, although it was only a night, in order to welcome the arrival of Prince Charles and Princess Diana. Many buildings on both sides of the road were hung with British flags, looking at the rice flags waving in the wind, Gu Chen couldn't help but be a little distracted, these flags represent the British rule of Hong Kong for a hundred years. Perhaps this rule will eventually fade away with the great changes in the world order. But the imprint left by a hundred years is not so easy to erase. In his memory, even before his rebirth, the British influence in Hong Kong was still huge, and there were even many Hong Kong people who were nostalgic for British rule, the most obvious phenomenon was that every holiday, in Central, you can often see protesting citizens.

He doesn't want to comment on these people who have forgotten who their ancestors are, he only insists on one thing, this is the land left by the ancestors of the Chinese nation. It should be ruled by the descendants of Yan and Huang. As for the form of rule, it is entirely an internal matter for the Chinese. Outsiders have no right to interfere.

At this time, Wilson's voice brought him back to his senses: "According to His Royal Highness the Crown Prince's schedule, the Governor's Palace will hold a dinner in the name of His Royal Highness the Crown Prince at the Peninsula Hotel in the evening, and celebrities from all walks of life in Hong Kong will be invited, and Mr. Gu and his wife can attend together." ”

There was a faint smile in Wilson's words, and there was obviously some ridicule when he said the last sentence. In this regard, Gu Chen shrugged his shoulders slightly and said, "I think it's wiser for me to go alone, you know, women are really troublesome sometimes." ”

"Hehe, I believe your words are more like a show-off for most men, because they don't even have the opportunity to experience this kind of trouble."

The two talked and laughed all the way, and after about half an hour, the convoy arrived at the airport, and then without any pause, the convoy drove directly into the apron along the special passage of the airport, and at this time on the No. 7 apron, all the preparations for the welcome ceremony had already been completed.

When the car stopped at the edge of the tarmac, Gu Chen and Wilson got out of the car. At the same time, many people also got off the other car, some were government officials, some were businessmen's representatives, Li Jiacheng, Li Zhaoji, Shao Yifu, Bao Yugang, etc. were among them, and Gu Chen was also one of the businessmen's representatives.

Everyone waited for a while, and the special plane on which Prince Charles and Princess Diana were taking slowly stopped on the tarmac. After a few more moments, the cabin door opened, Prince Charles and Princess Diana walked out arm-in-arm, and just then, the band played the welcome song.

The citizens who came to the airport to welcome them also waved the small national flag in their hands, and the scene was quite lively. After standing at the door of the cabin for a moment, the crown prince and his wife waved their hands to the welcoming crowd below as they walked down the spiral staircase, and when they walked down the last staircase, a little white boy and a little yellow girl each stepped forward and presented the flowers in their arms to the crown prince and his wife.

Then Governor Williams went up to greet him, bowed to Prince Charles and Princess Diana, and said: "It is an honour for me and all Hong Kong people to come to Hong Kong with His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and the Princess, and I am sure that you will have an unforgettable journey in Hong Kong." ”

"Your Excellency the Governor has worked hard in Hong Kong in place of Her Majesty the Queen, and I hope that my arrival with Diana this time will not bother you."

"His Royal Highness the Crown Prince has complimented you, please allow me to introduce you to some important people in Hong Kong's political and business circles." After speaking, Wilson made a gesture behind him, and not far behind him stood a row of people, all government officials in front of him, and businessmen in the back.

Gu Chen stood in the ranks of the businessmen's representatives, and he was the first, the second was Li Jiacheng, the third was Bao Yugang, and the fourth was the current patriarch of the Kadoorie family, Luo Lanshi? Kadoorie ...... This position was not a casual stand, but was arranged by the Governor's Palace.

From this order, we can also see the size and influence of each person's assets, or the importance that the British government attaches to each person.

After shaking hands with the government officials in front of them one by one, Prince Charles and Princess Diana walked up to Gu Chen, and without being introduced by Wilsson, Prince Charles said with a smile: "We met Mr. Gu again, time flies so fast, it has been more than half a year since we last met." ”

Gu Chen smiled back, and then said, "It's a pleasure to meet His Royal Highness the Crown Prince and Her Royal Highness the Princess in Hong Kong, and Hong Kong welcomes the arrival of the two." ”

At the knighthood ceremony held by the British royal family on New Year's Day, he had a relationship with Prince Charles, but the two did not have a deep talk that time. As for Princess Diana, he saw it for the first time.

He has also admired this woman who is famous in the United Kingdom and even internationally for a long time, there is no doubt that Princess Diana is a beautiful woman, and she laughs very relatablely, if he remembers correctly, the current Princess Diana should have separated from Prince Charles, but the marriage between the two will last until 1996, and then died in a car accident in France at the age of 36 after almost a year. However, the attention that Princess Diana received did not disappear because of the loss of her life, and until the 21st century, many British people still miss her, and the cause of her death is even more controversial, in addition to the official investigation that lasted several years and came to the conclusion: "Paul, the driver who drove for Diana, was drunk and driving was the direct cause of the car accident", various conspiracy theories have also emerged, and the spearhead is directly aimed at the British royal family and government.

Since Diana's car accident, there has been a rumor circulating in British society: because Princess Diana is pregnant, in order to avoid the future King William Wee having a half-brother, the royal family assigned the spy agency MI5 and 6 to poison her.

In 2o13, more than ten years after Princess Diana's death, a retired soldier of the British Special Air Force commando inadvertently revealed that Princess Diana's death was committed by the Special Air Force commando, which attracted strong attention from public opinion.

Others such as 'fraudulent death', 'doctor's delay', 'landmine dealer planted landmines' and so on are even more numerous, and it can be seen from all indications that perhaps the real cause of Princess Diana's death will become a mystery that will never be solved. Of course, Princess Diana is still alive and well.

When he looked at Princess Diana, the latter was also looking at him, his eyes flashed with curiosity, when the two shook hands, Princess Diana smiled slightly and said: "Although I live in the UK, I can often see Mr. Gu's news in the newspapers and on TV, you are far younger than the above, it is hard to imagine that you are the rich Mr. who shocked the world." ”

"Thank you for the compliment, but age doesn't mean anything sometimes, does it?"

……

After shaking hands with dignitaries from both the political and business worlds, Prince Charles and Princess Diana waved to the citizens who came to greet them, and then the two got into the car and left the airport. (To be continued......)
