In the evening, Queen Elizabeth held a banquet in the Kingdom to entertain Jiang Feng.

During this meeting, Elizabeth's attitude towards Jiang Feng changed a lot. This is mainly related to the changes in Jiang Feng's identity today and now.

Two years ago, Jiang Feng was just a very ordinary rich man, and the British royal family didn't take it very seriously. However, two years later, Jiang Feng has become the well-deserved richest man in the world, and his leading position is no one to shake. According to the latest estimates of Forbes Magazine, Jiang Feng's personal assets have approached 270 billion US dollars, which is six times that of Bill Gates' assets.

At this dinner, Jiang Feng's well-deserved star, all the British nobles who attended, kept chatting with him and invited him to their families.

Those who can attend this dinner are definitely the top figures in Britain. They are either giants in the political and business world, or nobles with high titles such as earls, marquises, and even dukes.

At the dinner, the Queen also awarded Jiang Feng a title, not the lowest level of jazz (Sir), but Lord (Lord).

The titles of British nobles are divided into five levels: duke, marquis, Count, viscount and baron. Among them, marquis, Count and viscount can be named "Lord", and under the Lord, there are baron and jazz, these two nobles can be called "Sir".

The Queen of England awarded two batches of titles a year, with about 1,000 people in each batch.

In the UK, many people dream of the Order of the Empire. In their opinion, no matter how glorious or rich a person is, he is still an ordinary person without a title of lord or jazz. He cannot enter the upper social circle or become a "high-ranking person". After becoming a lord, British football star Beckham was conferred a baptism ceremony for his son at St. Paul's Cathedral in London, which is exclusively used by the nobles.

The titles of aristocrats were previously hereditary, and there could only be one heir, and the eldest son was the legal heir. Only when the aristocrats had no sons could their titles be inherited by direct descendants who first reached the age of inheritance. After 1958, Britain allowed the non-inherited "lifelong nobility title" to someone.

For the British, being awarded a title is a great honor, and it can also obtain government subsidies for food, clothing, housing and transportation. As a jazz, when you go to England, you will be respected and preferential. When people meet a jazz, they usually call it the title together. There have been many cases in British history where people forged a title and defrauded money. Now there are some illegal companies selling fake title certificates online. However, for many nobles, especially those with parties, the most important privilege is to participate in discussions and voting on major national affairs.

Some non-British people have also been awarded the title of jazz, including Hollywood director Steven Spielberg, former New York mayor Giuliani, Spanish tenor Domingo, etc.

This time, Jiang Feng was awarded the title of "Jiang Feng" not a jazz or a baron, but a viscount, so he can be called "Lord Jiang Feng" in the future.

It can be said that it is unprecedented in Britain to award the title of Viscount to a foreigner.

In fact, before that, Queen Elizabeth had asked Jiang Feng about the meaning of Bird Jiang Feng through Beeltris and Prince William, which was to grant him the title of jazz. Although Jiang Feng didn't say anything about this, judging from his disdainful expression, Beeltris and Prince William had already seen his attitude.

There are about 2,000 people in the UK who are jazzed every year, 20,000 people in 10 years, and 100,000 people in 50 years. Some British media once sarcastically said that if this continues, all British citizens will become lords or jazz in hundreds of years. Playwright Michel said that he rejected the "Medal of Commander of the British Empire" and "jazz" titles in 1989 because there are too many people who have received this title. Is there any value if there are too many things?

With Jiang Feng's current strength, he doesn't care about the title of a jazz or baron at all, which will not do him at all. It will even make him bear the love of the British royal family for nothing.

At that time, Jiang Feng thought that he had expressed his intentions and that there would be no further information about the title of the title. Unexpectedly, Queen Elizabeth would directly grant him a viscount at this dinner, which was completely beyond Jiang Feng's expectations.

However, the British powerful people who attended did not seem very surprised, and no one expressed opposition. They just congratulated Jiang Feng.

This still surprised Jiang Feng. Jiang Feng remembers it very clearly. Just last year, when the Queen awarded the title of "Lord of the British Empire" by Bill Gates, the richest man in the world at that time, some British people disagree with it. They believed that this was just because Gates donated a lot of money to the UK. But now he was awarded the viscount by the Queen, and these nobles came to congratulate him one by one. When did the British nobles become so friendly?

Although I don’t know what happened, Jiang Feng knew about it, that is, the Queen’s behavior was the British that won over herself, and the price she paid was extremely high.

Although Jiang Feng is not interested in such a noble title, in such a public place, it would be unreasonable if the queen took huge risks to grant her such a high title.

Besides, if he has an extra British vest covering his body, it will be much easier for him to do a lot of things in the future.

After returning to the hotel, Jiang Feng opened the TV news casually and was discussing topics related to China.

In 2001, the white paper published by the Ministry of Public Industry of Japan officially mentioned the for the first time that China has become a factory in the world. Recently, this has gradually become a common word for describing the Chinese economy internationally.

When talking about this topic, British TV stations quoted a research report from British companies, saying that China was already in the 21st century as Britain was in the 19th century. Moreover, China performed better and better.

Jiang Feng frowned a little when he heard this topic, obviously he did not agree with this statement.

In his opinion, this derogatory term, the West uses world factories to summarize today's Chinese economy, based on the historical experience of Western industrialization as the focus.

China is a little caught off guard. However, the statement of world factories has gradually been accepted by China. People use the statement of world factories to express several different meanings, such as China is showing some characteristics of world factories, China has become world factories, and China should become world factories, etc.

However, the world's factories have always been full of temptations and traps.

The claim of world factory has its own specific historical background.

After the industry, Britain established a global trade network centered on the British Isles with advanced technology, joint-stock company system, financial center status, colonies all over the world, and a strong navy. It is characterized by the UK playing the role of a "factory" in international division of labor, while other countries playing the role of raw material suppliers and consumer markets.

Products made in the UK are mainly produced for countries around the world, and their manufacturing scale and manufacturing capacity are sufficient to affect global output and price.

At that time, what supported Britain's status as a "world factory" were the developed textile industry, mining industry, iron smelting industry, machine manufacturing industry and maritime industry.

Britain imported raw materials from all over the world, processed them, and then sold the finished products to other countries. Most of the products were exported. As Britain expanded its colonial expansion, it became an empire that never set. Britain dominated a global capitalist trading system.

At that time, Britain had the most advanced technology, the most advanced industrial organization form, and the most complete division of labor system. In addition, the status of the UK's world factory also created the status of London's world financial center. In turn, London provided complete financial services for Britain's manufacturing and trade.

Through gunboat diplomacy or colonial rule, Britain established a colonial empire all over the world. Although Britain was an advocate of free trade, a large part of this free trade system was achieved through the colonization of backward countries, and trade activities were mainly carried out within the British colonial system.

At that time, Britain was a veritable factory in the world, accounting for only two percent of the world's population. In the first seventy years of the 19th century, it had always controlled one-half of the world's industrial production and one-quarter of the world's trade.

Later, the rise of Germany, the rise of the United States, and the rise of Japan were generally called the center of world economic growth, and were called world factories in a period. However, when people use this word, the meaning of analogy is mostly used, which does not fully possess all the characteristics of Britain at that time. To be precise, these countries are the centers of the world's manufacturing industry.

In contrast, after more than 20 years of reform and opening up, China's industry, especially manufacturing, has achieved remarkable results. In the past 10 years, China's annual industrial growth rate has reached 12, and industrial product exports have grown rapidly. The export volume of some products has ranked first in the world. The output of coal, steel, color TV, refrigerators, washing machines, microwave ovens, cameras, air conditioners, etc. is all ranked first in the world. China's share of world trade is not only growing rapidly, but also China's position in the global division of labor value chain is also rising, such as China's exports of electronic products, information technology products, communication products, etc. are increasing rapidly.
