Chapter 203: Knighthood
"Father, I don't agree with this decision." Muyang gave his own answer very directly.
"Why, this is the family's opportunity, and it's your chance."
"It's not fair, the title should belong to the eldest brother and the class. Moreover, I am confident that I will be knighted, father, I swear, will let the glory of the Williams family shine on the whole of West Yorkshire, and indeed all of England. Muyang said firmly.
Muyang stayed at home for three days, leaving enough money behind him, and Muyang returned to London.
He doesn't know how much money Muyang has now, but the drugs produced now, how many are sold, are definitely in short supply, although the domestic supply price is not high, and it is also procured by the government, mostly used to treat ordinary people, but it is such an income, Muyang can earn at least 20,000 pounds a day.
You know, this is the pound, 20,000 pounds in 1918, more than 7 million pounds a year, and now the pound is calculated in gold, and it is not an exaggeration to compare Muyang's income to a daily income.
"Mr. Professor, Carlos. Mr. Ferreira has come to visit, and I don't know if you want to see him. Carter walked in and asked.
"Carlos. Ferreira, who is it, looking for me something. "I've never heard of this name before,Mu Yang asked curiously.
"It's a Spaniard who says there's something important he wants to talk to you about." Carter replied.
The important thing is that it is really interesting, I have nothing to do with the Spaniards. But now there is nothing to do, the pharmaceutical factory does not need to be managed by him, and the application for the Nobel Prize has been done. Just waiting for the results, Muyang is still very idle now.
"Okay. Let me meet this Spanish guest. Muyang said.
The man was about forty years old, and when he took off his top hat, he revealed a head of slightly curly brown hair. Bending down to Muyang in salute, "Dear Dr. Joseph Williams, it's an honor to be able to visit you, my name is Carlos. Ferreira, from the Kingdom of Spain. ”
"Please sit down, you don't know what to do with me?" Muyang was very curious about the other party's intentions.
"I bring greetings from His Majesty King Alfonso XIII of Spain, whose condition has improved because of your medicine."
"That's great news."
"We, in the Kingdom of Spain, would like to receive your prescription for the cold and plague. Or a large number of medicines. "Carlos. Ferreira is very direct and goes straight to the point.
"I'm sorry, but there is no way to provide you with a prescription, as for medicines, you can ask the British government to procure." Mu Yang replied in a very official tone.
"No, no, Mr. Williams, please don't refuse me so quickly, I have come very sincerely, and now Spain is being ravaged by the plague. We have infected nearly 7 million people with the disease, a large number of young adults are dying every day, and there is already serious turmoil in the country because of this incident. ”
"We had already contacted the UK, but the answer was. The first time I could only get 50,000 people of the treatment drugs, and the next batch would be about two months later, but this was completely insufficient to meet Spain's requirements. There are so many sick people in our country. ”
"Before I came, His Majesty the King gave an explanation. You can put forward any conditions, as long as Spain can get them. "Carlos. Ferreira said so much in one breath. Then quietly waited for Muyang's reply.
Any conditions, this Spanish King Alfonso XIII is also really fighting, but if you don't fight, you can't do it, if the whole of Spain is dead, how can he, the king, play, but Muyang said that there are really tempting conditions.
"Any conditions?" Muyang asked incredulously.
"As long as Spain can do it." Carlos. Ferreira said through gritted teeth.
This is a good business delivered to the door, how can Mu Yang let it go, as for the British side, Mu Yang said that it can still be negotiated.
"So, you can tell me what the conditions you can give first, and I'm considering whether to agree." Muyang said, how can you look at the other party's determination.
"Earldom, fiefdoms, and a family that allows you to establish a family in Spain, which can give you a pharmaceutical factory, and Spain can buy medicines at English prices." Carlos. Ferreira said.
Muyang is tempted, really tempted.
The earl is already considered a high-ranking nobleman, and there are other affordable conditions, but Muyang is not satisfied. The system says that the higher the achievement, the better the reward you get, and you must squeeze it, you must squeeze it.
"Please give me a day to think about it, and I'll get back to you tomorrow."
Carlos. Ferreira politely said goodbye and left, Muyang sank deep into the soft leather sofa and looked quietly ahead.
Although he seems to be quiet on the surface, he is happy and excited inside, and his heart beats much faster than usual.
I really didn't expect that the flowers bloomed inside the wall and the fragrance outside the wall, and I hadn't gotten a knighthood in England, but Spain sent it by itself.
You must know that a person can hold the title of several countries, especially in European countries, they basically figure each other out, all countries are relatives, and they also recognize each other's titles, Muyang has no problem at all to accept the title of Spain.
But the question is, will the British government agree to him to set up a pharmaceutical factory in Spain, the British government is now using this drug as a bargaining chip, is using the drug, and other countries in exchange for benefits, you know, sometimes selling drugs is not only to make money, but also to make more money.
"Bang Bang Bang", the wooden door was knocked again.
"Carter, what's the matter?" Mu Yang saw that it was his assistant who came in.
"Sir, Henry. Baron Bessemer is here, do you want to see him? Carter said.
Henry. Baron Bessemer? Oh, the Minister of King George V, how could he have thought of coming to me? Muyang raised his eyebrows and thought about it for a while, but he didn't figure it out, but he always had to see it.
Henry. Baron Bessemer still had the same somewhat old-fashioned face, "I have good news for you, Mr. Williams, that Your Majesty has granted you a knighthood in order to reward you for your outstanding contributions to the British Empire and the saving of countless lives. ”
Knighted, knighted again, today is really a good thing.
Mu Yang's face showed obvious joy, "I don't know what title Your Majesty will give me." ”
"Hereditary Baron, congratulations Mr. Williams, there will be two barons in your family."
Baron, it's really not high, but it can be regarded as meeting its minimum requirements, but he spent 65% of his pharmaceutical shares in exchange for such a baron, and the British royal family is really good enough to pick the door.
"Is there a fief?"
"Yes, according to the regulations, you will have a fief of an estate."
There is no way, this is the rule in England, and the baron can only have one estate, which is equivalent to the area of two hundred acres of land.
But even so, Muyang was very happy.
"Mr. Williams, I wonder if the Kingdom of Spain has sent someone to look for you?" Henry. Baron Bessemer asked suddenly. (To be continued......)
