Chapter 189
The next day, An Feng chatted with the arrival of the police lawyer.
That is to say, the entire story of last night's incident was deliberately damaged, and the oral evidence of An Feng and Khalid was very important. Of course, the police were completely directed at them. Khalid's identity was there, and the government was trying to please him.
Khalid was not clear about the cause of the incident, but it was probably because the Lebanese mixed-race beauty Laila, who is worthy of being an Arab national idol, has touched the nerves of many people every move. However, it was cheaper for An Feng, who saw the injustice on the road and even hooked up with the local tyrants.
After that, An Feng continued to travel with Joanna.
On the way, Zhang Li and her best friend joined the organization, and the chattering was constantly busy. But An Feng’s two sports cars were obviously not enough. After the generous Khalid found out, he took him to the underground parking lot and pointed at the row of cars: "Ferrari, Lamborghini, Bentley, Rolls-Royce... choose whatever you want!"
The rich man's garage is still very impressive. An Feng visited several four-door cars. After listening to Khalid's boast about his car, he finally chose the low-key Land Rover Range Rover. But since it is a rich man in Middle East, the low-key displacement of 3.0 is obviously not in line with his identity, so he needs a top-level 5.0 liter.
As for fuel consumption, for countries where mineral water is more expensive than gasoline, this concept... they usually ignore it.
...
After Christmas, it was very cold, but everyone's enthusiasm for traveling was as always.
Zhang Li obviously did her homework and took them to visit attractions that were familiar to local talents, and even Joanna didn't expect.
For example, in camden-market, the two ladies strongly demanded a trip with a gentleman.
An Feng said in confusion: "Where is that? Do you have to be with a man?"
Zhang Li said: "Camden Market is a place where some trends are concentrated, and people are relatively mixed, so the public security is occasionally a little messy. But it is said that it is worth going there."
Joanna seemed to know something, but she did not reveal the answer. Although Zhang Li and Anne had never been there, they were full of curiosity and wanted to uncover the deep veil of London.
So An Feng drove them out.
The Camden Market is crowded with people, and the street buildings are a little messy. The shops use some designs that subvert traditional, such as a plane falling down, and huge chairs standing on the billboard... But this is not the point, the focus is the scene that An Feng saw in his eyes, which is still incredible to remember.
Looking around the market, some styles that are unacceptable to most people have appeared one after another - towering rooster heads, dyed green hair, shaved on both sides, revealing a blue scalp; with nose rings. Wearing worn jeans, there are shining silver nails on the shoulders of motorcycle jackets.
"Shamat?" An Feng felt Dandan's sadness.
He held the two ladies looking around in front of him with a dark face: "Girl, are you sure you are in the right place?"
Zhang Li and Annie were obviously very strange. When they heard An Feng's words, Zhang Li nodded: "Of course, this is the birthplace of British punk (punk)! Alas! What did you just say about Shamatt, can we be good at it? Can those middle-aged and second-tier rural styles in China be compared with punk?"
An Feng curled his lips: "Look at your proud look! Could it be that you want to keep that kind of...boom's hair?"
Annie smiled: "What is Boom's hair?"
Three explosive heads passed by, darkening the circles of the eyes. An Feng looked at them with his hands on his head. His hands were "exploding the same."
Zhang Li despises him: "It's so vulgar! Appreciating art does not mean that she likes to be art!"
An Feng shrugged: "You won't beat you!"
In fact, he has not heard of it. There is punk rock, right? There are all things to do in Europe and the United States, especially those punk bands, who have moxie hair and are crazy in strange costumes. They feel that they are not in the same dimension as everyone... And this is the holy place of the punk guys and the origin center of punk culture.
An Feng said to Joanna: "It completely overturned my understanding of British gentlemen."
Joanna smiled and said, "Since you're here, you have to understand these things by changing appearances and desire to highlight different ways to vent your dissatisfaction."
An Feng was puzzled, and he felt that he was just a young and ignorant Shamatt?
Of course, after visiting the market, An Feng defined it: this is a high-end version... First of all, the young people in the UK have their own aesthetics and tastes; secondly, people who play punk also have jobs and have high education, and they shape a culture - a culture that is not acceptable. Finally, Punk boy has something to say: punk punk for punk is not real punk, but punk is in attitude rather than surface.
...
Two days later, the New Year approached, and Zhang Li and her best friend also came to the farewell moment. An Feng took them to the airport. On the way back, he received a strange call. He answered with Bluetooth headsets. The voice was very familiar: "Bruce, I am Matthew, this is the British number."
"Matthew? Come to the UK for the New Year?" An Feng asked.
Matthew said: "That's right, but the main purpose is to personally celebrate Bazer's title. He will be awarded the title of the Queen after the New Year."
"Oh! It's such a surprise to congratulate him on me!" An Feng said.
Matthew smiled and said, "No, he's right next to me. Are you free tonight? Let's have a drink together, plan to find a place to play, etc."
"Okay, there's no problem tonight." An Feng said.
He and Joanna attended the event in a dress-up, and many people came. Matthew, Bazer, and their wives and children were all here. If the old lady was preparing for surgery, they would probably be there. Everyone had dinner together, and the focus of the chat was on Bazer who was full of red faces.
Bazel always gave An Feng an impression of being a calm, traditional person with a gentlemanly manner, and his life was completely British. For example, he liked to ride horses, raised valuable horse racing, often organized friends to play polo, and could fencing. He had played against Joanna before.
If Matthew said that he was awarded a title one day, An Feng might have doubted it, but if it were Bazer, he would have believed that Bazer's behavior was in line with the example of an old nobleman, but he was a little confused about nationality. Matthew later explained that Bazer is a dual nationality, that is, he holds both Britain and the United States at the same time.
(Note: The United States defaults to dual nationality)
Matthew said again: "This year's Buckingham Palace ceremony is a little earlier, so we have to come now. By then, Bazer will transform into a baron."
An Feng smiled and said, "Congratulations, Bazel."
"Thank you!" Bazel smiled and nodded, raising his glass to greet him.
There are many people who are awarded the title by the Queen every year, and they engage in a variety of professions, such as directors, movie stars, singers, football coaches, financiers... all are awarded medals. However, the title of the Queen is usually jazz. Jazz does not belong to a noble, but is just a symbol, and a reputation is added to the name.
Barons are different, including Duke, Marquis, Bozi, and Barons are at the end, but there is no doubt that this title belongs to the nobles - very few nobles can be officially awarded by the Queen, because the titles of those nobles in Britain are hereditary, and apart from major contributions, there are generally no new titles.
The reason for Bazer's ban is naturally a significant contribution to the national economy, as well as the number of jobs provided, etc. The reason is very strong, and what is even more powerful is that if he wants, he can nominate to the House of Lords as a noble and become a soy politician.
An Feng was very curious about these "promotion" processes because he also planned to let Joanna get a title and add some fun in life.
After hearing this, Bazer said calmly: "I was awarded a title for my purpose. I have not planned it specifically before, but I have summarized it mainly in several points: domestic companies have performed outstandingly; charity foundations have made many years of contributions; and the right time is nominated to the Queen."
An Feng nodded: "It seems that this is a long-term job."
Bazel smiled and said, "Not necessarily, it depends on the person and method. For example, Joanna, who has good conditions, and Bruce, you have spare money. If it is targeted, make some contributions to society and politicians. It is easy to be nominated and can be completed in a few more times."
An Feng asked: "Can you get along?"
Bazel nodded: "If you want, that's OK."
...
If the British aristocracy had a considerable power before 1999, more than a thousand seats in the House of Lords were all kinds of nobles, which could shake the government's decision-making. After the reform in 1999, 90% were cut off at once, leaving only more than 90 seats, which was known as the "twilight of the nobles", and the beginning of the new century.
Now that we have reached the non-hereditary title, if it is not for politics, then there is only boredom left.
An Feng happens to be a boring type. He always has to pursue and challenge life, otherwise he will easily become depressed as he lives. After a long chat with Bazel, he planned to spend more than five years to create a very typical outstanding figure for Joanna and add glory to her.
The process was long, but there was a challenge.
In the next few days, I visited London with the Sinclairs, which was not an ordinary tour, but an elegant life. For example, to see a concert, the Royal Albert Hall was obviously a good place. Let's sit in the private room and enjoy a Beethoven symphony and cultivate my sentiment.
An Feng feels pretty good, except opera. Not everyone can appreciate opera. Those who like opera are either born hardcore fans or acquired pretentious styles. Even Joanna said she has no love for opera. It is different from musicals. Musicals have popular elements or beautiful actors. Opera is like... Chinese people go to Peking Opera, and they are yelling, and one out of ten is considered successful.
Next is the New Year. The New Year countdown fireworks party is a grand event in London. In addition, there are also large cities such as Paris in France and New York in the United States. London is more classic, and its dazzling lights are still fragrant. Strawberries, bananas, oranges are all in color, fragrance and flavor.
If you want to see it, you have to pay a lot of money - it is safe to wait six hours in advance. It is too late to go. The venue in front of Big Ben is full, and the police will not let anyone in again.
Chapter completed!
