Chapter 120 Order of Canada
The Order of Canada is Canada's highest civilian honour and is given to those who adhere to the Medal's motto and want a better country. The medal was created in 1967 to recognize Canadians for their lifelong contributions to the country. The medal also recognises the contributions of non-Canadians who are making the world a better place through action. Musicians, politicians, artists, TV stars and donors, and many others have received the medal. The Queen of Canada, Queen Elizabeth II, is the head of the Order, and the incumbent Governor General of Canada is its Prime Minister and main partner. Since 1967, more than 5,000 people have been awarded the Order of Canada.
This kind of medal is actually taken from the Order of Britain, and most of the medals awarded by Canada are divided into official medals and officer medals, which do not have knighthood and are not considered any titles, but only honorary medals.
There are also many Chinese Americans in Canada who have won them, almost all of them who have made outstanding contributions in a certain field, and it is a complete accident that Li Cheng will be nominated for the latest Canadian Medal.
The picture of Li Cheng's heroic rescue was accidentally seen by the Queen of England who came to Canada to play, so he didn't know what the reason was, and directly handpicked Li Cheng, it can only be said that the picture of Li Chengfei saving people is too thrilling, and Her Royal Highness the Queen of England, who is in her 80s, can't help but applaud it, similar to the stunt picture in the movie, which really exists in reality, and the shock is indescribable.
Li Cheng was worried that the public would pay attention to He Lifen generally, so that she was pushed to the cusp and unable to live a normal life, and although the Internet and TV reports continued to make an in-depth analysis of the incident of jumping off the bow tower, most people did not pay so much attention to He Lifen's true identity, after all, this is a personal issue, which is still very important in Canada, and the focus of the discussion is mainly on the rescuer, that is, Li Cheng! However, for the purpose of protection, the media did not release Li Cheng's personal information, and it is illegal to leak citizens' personal information without his permission.
Three days later, under the hype of the Internet and the media, Li Cheng's identity really attracted attention, and there were some sharp-eyed Chinese, who got from some channels that Li Chengcheng was the one who survived drifting in the Pacific Ocean for a month, combined with the heroic rescue incident, the Chinese with serious personal heroism urgently need to find a representative, after all, there are still racist incidents in Canada, and the situation of the Chinese is not easy for blacks and whites, so they can only unite and twist into a rope!
Li Cheng's physical fitness is even more envied by Chinese, and it can also make other races in Canada understand that Chinese Americans are not the sick men of East Asia! Generally speaking, Asians cannot compare their physique with blacks, and the average height is a big problem, but it does not prevent Chinese Americans from living well in many places.
The appearance of Li Cheng made the Chinese feel that if Li Cheng publicly interviewed and responded, it might be able to make many Canadians change their attitudes towards the Chinese, although it would not reach the point of radical cure, at least it would be alleviated, so Vancouver, Toronto and other places where Chinese gathered, they all tried to get in touch with Li Cheng, mainly to let him join the Chinese organization, and then carry out publicity, safeguard the interests of Chinese Americans in Canada, and also develop Li Cheng himself, and the nomination of the Order of Canada has increased Li Cheng's influence.
At this moment, the first wave of Chinese tourists in the ranch has left the ranch, in the past few days, Li Cheng also considered the question of how to receive tourists after the opening of the ranch, although the first time was successful, but there are still many places that can be improved, and the income these days is also quite rich, three days of 100 people, the net income of the ranch actually reached 100,000 Canadian dollars, the average consumption per person is about 1,000 Canadian dollars, and it is also under the condition that Li Cheng implemented preferential policies.
It can only be said that Chinese tourists are indeed the main consumer force! The indigenous specialties brought back are almost half of the average expenditure, and only about half of the expenditure is spent on play, accommodation, eating, drinking and playing, which shows how much Chinese people respect gift-giving. It's hard to go abroad, you have to bring something back, give it to your boss and colleagues in the workplace, give it to your family and friends to stabilize family and friendship, and so on, which led Li Cheng to see the huge economic benefits brought by tourism! In terms of the carrying capacity of the ranch, it is no problem to receive hundreds of people every day, thousands of people, but how to plan and make good use of these resources, Li Cheng is still learning, and there is no shortage of manpower, mainly the experience of operating a tourist ranch.
The stall of raising livestock receives tourists, which makes the ranch not too dull, and you can make friends with people from different countries every day, which is good for Li Cheng to broaden his horizons, and these hundreds of Chinese tourists are quite kind, in the evaluation of Vancouver's tourism agency, the grizzly bear ranch is placed on the top of the homepage, and the highest evaluation of 10 points is given, which makes Li Cheng flattered, and further attracts the arrival of some retail investors, and the tourism of the grizzly bear ranch is developing steadily.
On this day, when Li Cheng was thinking about whether to go to some brother ranch or a ranch in the west to gain experience in this area, Clall rushed over from Calgary, she was very busy in the past few days, and this was the first time in three days that she came to the grizzly bear ranch.
As soon as she entered the door, Claire panted and said, "Cheng, pour me a glass of water, I'm tired." ”
Li Cheng didn't say anything, poured a glass of cold water for Claire, she drank it all, then sat on the sofa, and said: "Cheng, congratulations, you have been officially nominated and approved to be awarded the Lord of Canada, and it is the Order of the Crown, which was hand-picked by Her Majesty!" You're going to make headlines, and there are a lot of viewers calling to get you on the show for an interview, and I know you don't want to be on TV, but too many enthusiastic viewers have come to ask for your information, and it's putting a lot of pressure on me. ”
Claire seems to have a hard time, last time Li Cheng could be on TV, but because of personal problems, he didn't want to be too famous, so he rejected many TV stations, Claire also respected Li Cheng's opinion, so he didn't force Li Cheng to interview, but this time it's different, if he was awarded the Order of Official, then the headlines are certain, then Li Cheng still wants to be famous, and the medals of Chinese Americans who are awarded the rank of official are still quite few, only about one a year, and the slightly inferior Medal of Honor for Chinese can still get a few every year.
Li Cheng thought about it for a while, in fact, increasing the influence in the public is good for all aspects, especially in terms of the tour of the grizzly bear ranch, Li Cheng can do some free advertising, in order to enhance the reputation of the grizzly bear ranch, which is a favorable aspect, but Li Cheng may have seen too many public figures in the country, so he is a little hesitant, if he agrees to be on TV, then it will definitely attract attention, Li Cheng is not a person who likes to be in the limelight, but Claire is his girlfriend, and if she refuses again and again, Apparently it will have an impact on Claire's psyche.
And the pressure from the Canadian television side has also been exerted, Claire can't figure it out, and the job that has just resumed may be hit, and it is likely to be refrigerated.
Seeing Li Cheng's expression, Claire understood that Li Cheng was in a dilemma because of her own reasons, so she said openly: "Cheng, what are you worried about?" Being on TV to increase your popularity is beneficial to your ranch operation, haven't you already applied for a tourist attraction license? I promise to mention the location and scope of the Grizzly Bear Ranch in the interview. ”
Product placement exists in all countries, but the Canadian people don't have much antipathy to it, and in their opinion, it's not a shame to advertise it......
"Claire, I'm not worried about anything, I'm just afraid that I won't be at peace after I get on TV, from time to time reporters come to take pictures or something, maybe my intimate photos with you will be made public." Li Cheng's words made Claire laugh from ear to ear, she explained: "You don't have to worry about this, we reporters have a complete set of professional guards, once they are complained, they will lose their qualifications as reporters, so our Canadian journalists pay great attention to the people's rights, even if you are famous, I think you will be surrounded at any time, after all, even Her Majesty the Queen of England comes to the streets of Canada, many citizens will not surround Her Majesty, do you think you are more famous than Her Majesty?" ”
The difference in national conditions has also led to many people's different attitudes towards public figures, and they will not have any radical actions when they encounter them, but they just feel familiar, or Li Cheng's Asian face cannot penetrate into the hearts of white and black Canadians, so even if Li Cheng is famous, he is still just a passerby when he walks on the street, and no lawbreaker dares to break into the ranch, after all, he trespasses into other people's houses without permission, Li Cheng can shoot him on the spot at any time, and Grizzly Bear Ranch has a disciplined team, What are the paramilitary rattlesnake cavalrymen with excellent professional skills afraid of?
Li Cheng has always taken Canada for granted into the country, with the motto of "people are afraid of being famous, pigs are afraid of being strong", resolutely not on TV, now it seems that he still thinks too much, and this is a good aspect on TV, and it is not an unsightly deed, what is there to be afraid of, not to mention that there is Claire coordinating next to him, and the interview process will be very smooth.
"Okay, I promise you, but let me rest for a few days first, you let the staff prepare the specific time and place of the interview and the script, I may have to go to other ranches to inspect these days and learn about the excellent experience of running a ranch." Although Li Cheng agreed to Claire's interview with Canadian TV, he was still uneasy in his heart, in addition to not wanting to be famous, the biggest reason was that he had never been on TV for a special interview in his life, of course, when he met Claire for the first time, it was an interview with a passerby, but it was only a few seconds, and this special interview must have taken more than half an hour.
And will also be awarded the Order of Honor by Her Majesty the Queen, it is deceitful not to be nervous, and there is still a few days of buffer time, Li Cheng can think about how to deal with it. (To be continued.) )
