Chapter 562
After dinner, Zhang Zhonghua watched TV in the living room for a while and rested, today is indeed a little tired for another whole day, and he has to go to the Platinum Palace tomorrow, so he has to recuperate!
In fact, he was busy all day today, and when he inspected various subsidiaries in London, the top floor of Duying was not idle, they were in a nervous meeting, discussing some matters related to tomorrow's ceremony.
And Zhang Zhonghua is the most important of all the matters he discusses!
The Dumb Engage, 11 Sonning Street, Westminster, London, Conference Room.
"My Honourable Minister, according to the information we have received, Zhang Zhonghua arrived in London yesterday afternoon and is living in the castle he purchased, and today he is inspecting the European branches of the various companies located in Canary Wharf."
Joseph Rocherford said to Howard.
Howard, the current minister of great power, listened carefully to the report of the staff of the intelligence bureau about Zhang Zhonghua's situation.
He was very satisfied that Zhang Zhonghua was able to come to London two days early, although he was a little later than almost everyone, but this was not bad, at least he was not the last to arrive in London.
He also knew that some time ago, Zhang Zhonghua was busy at the cousin's house with the British Empire on the other side of the Atlantic, and it was very good that Zhang Zhonghua was able to rush to London as soon as possible after he was busy with things over there.
"Well, your military intelligence department must continue to pay attention to Zhang Zhonghua's movements! Ladies and gentlemen, do you have any better proposals for Zhang Zhonghua's reward? β
Howard looked at the Privy Council and the people in the Prime Minister's Office!
The full name of the Privy Council is "His Majesty's Most Honorable Privy Council", which seems to be a bit like a military institution, but is actually an advisory body to the British monarch.
In the history of the British government, the power of the Privy Council was so great that it was equivalent to the integration of the executive and the judiciary. If the monarch is stronger, he can even legislate through the Privy Council, bypassing Parliament.
Since the Glorious Revolution, the power of the British monarch has been declining, the Privy Council has ceased to have legislative functions, and executive power has gradually been transferred to the Minister and Cabinet elected by Parliament.
However, although there is no executive power and legislative power, the Privy Council has held a certain judicial function for a long time until the establishment of the Supreme Court in 2009, and since then the Privy Council has been reduced to a pure advisory body to the king!
For Zhang Zhonghua's reward, the entire Duying high-level is very important, and Her Majesty Elizabeth II is waiting for the final news here while they are meeting.
Not only did their Majesty send a number of people from the Privy Council, an advisory body, but even His Royal Highness the Prince personally participated in the meeting.
Zhang Zhonghua's influence in the world is also increasing, the influence involves more and more people and industries, and this influence is not limited to business, Zhang Zhonghua has a pivotal position in the world in many fields, with a large number of fans.
Zhang Zhonghua is not only a well-known screenwriter, he created the world-famous movies "Raptors Across the River" and "The Shawshank Redemption", and he has many fans around the world.
Zhang Zhonghua is also a world-renowned science fiction writer, whose book "The Three-Body Problem" has sold tens of millions of copies around the world, and there are countless book fans around the world, and there are a large number of wealthy businessmen, scholars, scientists, politicians and other elites in society.
And Zhang Zhonghua is also a world-renowned musician, many songs written and sung by him have been widely supported around the world, and some time ago he won eight Grammy Awards at the Grammy Awards ceremony of AmΓ©rica, with tens of millions of fans around the world, and his international influence is huge.
In addition to these, Zhang Zhonghua is also a world-renowned top computer expert, and the computer C language, unix system, IMF database, e-mail, etc. developed by him are also unique in the world, and have made outstanding contributions to the development of the computer industry.
The textbooks he published in the field of computer science are also the usual textbooks of various universities, which has brought great influence to his new field of computer science with a broad future.
His Jade Emperor Newspaper, a subsidiary of the Jade Emperor Group, has now become the world's largest media company, controlling the direction of global public opinion, and through the various newspapers all over the world controlled by the Jade Emperor Newspaper, he can directly or indirectly influence more than one billion people around the world.
The number of employees of Jade Emperor Group is very large, with a huge number of nearly 2 million employees worldwide, which is directly related to the livelihood of more than 1.5 million families around the world and can directly affect the population of more than 10 million.
And that's not counting the upstream and downstream companies that provide services to them, and if you add these companies, the number will increase by a few million! β
Everyone in the conference room gasped when they heard Rachel Feinschumec's account of Zhang Zhonghua.
They have also heard of Zhang Zhonghua for a long time, and they also know that Zhang Zhonghua has achieved great success, but the news they got is relatively fragmentary, and now through Rachel Feinshomaker's narration, they really understand what kind of person this is!
In the past few years, such a giant group and outstanding talents have quietly emerged on Hong Kong Island, which is really terrifying.
It's not that they didn't notice the rise of Zhang Zhonghua, and the arrogant old gentlemen who were stupid and stupid always thought that the backward and ignorant East could not produce any great figures, and selectively ignored Zhang Zhonghua's rise!
"Hey, it seems that our previous decision to award Zhang Zhonghua the CBE Commander Medal is indeed a little too much to get in front of the stage, and the CBE Commander Medal is somewhat unworthy of Zhang Zhonghua's current international influence, and awarding it will only add to the joke."
Howard said with some emotion.
"Dear Mr. Prime Minister, there is one more thing that needs to be noted, at the beginning of this year, a joint meeting of countries was held, and Yanxia is negotiating with many countries on the establishment of diplomatic relations, and there will be major changes in the national federation
In addition, Zhang Zhonghua's influence on Hong Kong Island is incomparable, and his influence on Hong Kong Island has far exceeded anyone else's!
Zhang Zhonghua's personal attitude towards Hong Kong Island affects the trend of many things to a great extent, and we must try our best to win over Zhang Zhonghua, even if we can't let Zhang Zhonghua stand on our side, we can't let him cause trouble for us. β
Christian de la Fente said.
Everyone sighed long in their hearts when they heard the words of Christian de la Fente, since the end of World War II, the British Empire was facing a predicament unprecedented in hundreds of years.
As a result of the declining international status and weakening of the country's international influence, most of the overseas colonies have declared their independence one after another, and as a result of the independence of these colonies, the British Empire has lost more than 90% of its overseas territories, and the situation of the empire has deteriorated without the impermanent support of these overseas territories.
The two wars made the Duying from the world's number one power that dominated the world, and the sun never set, and I declined to a second-rate power, and they were very embarrassed when they thought about the glory of the past.
If Zhang Zhonghua knew what they were thinking at the moment, he would definitely disdain to tell them that your boss empire has ruled the world for so many years, and it is time to give up the throne.
"Minister Howard, Mr. Zhang Zhonghua's title has been agreed to award the KBE Commander Medal to reward Zhang Zhonghua for his outstanding contributions to the world."
"Okay, Your Royal Highness, thank you very much for your majesty's support for me."
Howard said respectfully.
"Your Excellency, I think we should give Zhang Zhonghua an overseas fief, compared to titles and medals, I think a piece of land should be very attractive to Zhang Zhonghua.
Once Zhang Zhonghua has his own fief, he can better protect his huge property, I think this should be what Zhang Zhonghua desperately wants to get. β
Christian de la Fente said suddenly.
"Zhang Zhonghua has a huge property, but he doesn't have a real base camp of his own, so it would be a good choice if we could give a fiefdom.
The Jade Emperor Security Company of the Jade Emperor Group has a powerful armed force that can be called a small country, and even has several warships, coupled with the huge wealth of the Jade Emperor Group, Zhang Zhonghua is fully capable of building and defending a city that belongs to him, if we can facilitate this matter, there will be no worries about the problems over there.
If the city established by Zhang Zhonghua can join our Commonwealth system, it will be a very strong ally for us in the United Kingdom, and it will be of greater help to us at a critical moment in international affairs in the future. β
Joseph Rocherford said suddenly.
His suggestion directly shocked the young Royal Highness the Prince, and His Royal Highness suddenly felt that the people in the Intelligence Bureau really dared to think and speak, but after thinking about it, it seemed to be a good idea to give Zhang Zhonghua a fief.
Joseph Rocherford's suggestion not only shocked His Royal Highness, but also silenced the entire conference room, and everyone began to silently consider the possibility of this in their hearts. Once Zhang Zhonghua has his own land, then Zhang Zhonghua's property will be more secure, and in fact, Duying has not lost anything!
"Your Royal Highness the Prince, I wonder if Your Majesty has shown anything about giving Zhang Zhonghua a fief?"
Howard asked, he couldn't make a decision on this kind of thing, but he still had to follow His Majesty's decision.
"Your Excellency, Your Majesty's original plan was to wait for Zhang Zhonghua to be promoted to the GBE Grand Cross before canonizing him land, and now if he is canonized to land or overseas, I need to ask Your Majesty's opinion."
His Royal Highness the Prince left the conference room and made a phone call from No. 10 Song Ning Street, saying that the canonization of Zhang Zhonghua's overseas territories must also require his mother's nod and consent.
When His Royal Highness the Prince went out to make a call, everyone in the conference room also began to consider that there are currently existing overseas territories that are suitable as fiefs for Zhang Zhonghua, such as the Cayman Islands, Bermuda, and the British Virgin Islands, which do not need to be considered, and the Falkland Islands, Gibraltar, and Montserrat are also not to be considered, these places are too important, and they cannot be handed over to a hot summer person!
"Your Majesty agreed to give Zhang Zhonghua a small overseas island at this canonization ceremony, but the specific island needs to be discussed."
After His Royal Highness returned to the conference room after making a phone call, his mother agreed with Zhang Zhonghua's idea of establishing a city, which would be a powerful ally of the British Empire, and whether he was on the side of the British Empire in the future or not, it was necessary to maintain a good relationship with Zhang Zhonghua and the Jade Emperor Group.
"At present, the largest number of islands is the British Asan Ocean Territory on the Asan Ocean, where there are more than 2,000 large and small tropical islands, and we can find an island of about 10 square kilometers to Zhang Zhonghua.
Diego Garcia Island is our deployment with Americaica, and it can also protect Zhang Zhonghua's fiefdom very well. Joseph Rocherford said.
"No, no, no, it's not suitable over there, last year Searle began to implement internal autonomy, according to the estimate of the Ministry of Military Intelligence, Searle will become independent in a few years, if the island over there is given to Zhang Zhonghua, I'm afraid there will be a lot of problems in the future."
"It's really not suitable, so what other islands in the Asan Ocean are relatively close to the southeast of Asia?"
Howard asked.
"At present, the closest to Malaysia is the Cocos Islands, which have a total area of 14.2 square kilometers and are made up of 27 coral islands.
After the independence of the new country in 1955, we divided the Cocos Islands and Christmas Island. β
Joseph Rocherford explained.
"And what about Christmas Island?"
His Royal Highness asked.
"Christmas Island is 135 square kilometres, and in 1958, we sold Christmas Island to Kangaroo Country for Β£2.9 million, and most of the people on the island were those who were sent by Kangaroo Country, and mainly Yanxia people, I think Christmas Island is the most suitable place to become Zhang Zhonghua's fief."
Joseph Rocherford said.
"It's really the most suitable, then contact the country of kangaroos to get that island back, anyway, the purpose of their purchase of that island is to settle the Yanxia people, and it's good for Zhang Zhonghua to take over."
Howard said with a smile.
"Well, that's true, but let's choose a few more islands in advance for Zhang Zhonghua to choose, which is also better, and it can highlight the importance we attach to him."
In the end, His Royal Highness the Prince said that the fief was originally a royal business, so it was most appropriate for him, the prince who was stupid, to make the decision.
