Rebirth of England.

A heavy snowfall brings the Christmas atmosphere to London.

It's just that this winter has not been easy for many British families.

Affected by the rise in oil prices, residents' heating costs in winter have also increased significantly, and prices have increased as a result, making people's living pressures sharply increased.

These can also be clearly seen from some surveys conducted by the Devonshire Charitable Foundation on homeless people.

Before the Christmas holidays, Avago finally started trading on the Nasdaq market after several rounds of road shows.

December 12 was the first day Avago Technologies went public. In the end, Avago’s issuance price was set at $20.

In this IPO, the 3750 million shares issued by Avago can bring it US$12.75 billion in financing.

When the stock market opened, Avago's shares opened at a price of $38.5, an increase of more than 13% compared to its issue price!

Its stock price reached an intraday high of $42.45 and finally closed at $40.18.

Calculated based on this closing price, Avago Technologies' market value at this time exceeded US$100 billion. It can be said that this listing was very successful.

Of course, what the countess meant was not about traveling to Australia, but the fact that she was pregnant with Barron's child again...

"Well, after Christmas, I will take you to Australia to stay for a while, and take advantage of the fact that it is relatively convenient to move around now to relax."

So after going to the hospital for a check-up, sure enough...

Of course, the current performance of Avago's stock price is also due to the company's excellent profit performance in the past two years. Due to the rapid development of the technology industry in Asia, Avago Technologies, which provides semiconductor chip products, , its revenue is also growing rapidly.

"That's something to be happy about, isn't it? Madam."

And they also received strong support from Li Jiapo. It can be said that Chen Fuyang chose to set up the headquarters of Anhua Gao in Li Jiapo because of this.

The countess did not let Bonnie know the "good news" yet. She just called His Highness the Duke of Devonshire, Barron, to her place, and complained for a while...

"F**K, you are happy and can happily be a father again, but what about me? Not only do I have to worry about my body shape changing, but I also have to spend ten months of pain and boredom. Do you think I will? happy?"

There is no doubt that the child this time is also Barron's.

"It's not that scary. You have experience, dear."

Because Chrissy, the Countess of Bute, is pregnant again.

After all, she had already experienced pregnancy once, so at the beginning of this month, when her "relatives" did not arrive as promised, Countess Bute had some ominous premonitions.

"Let me think about it. Also, go tell Bonnie about this..."

If Avago's successful listing this time makes Chen Fuyang very happy - the Avago shares he holds at this time are already worth US$1.7 million, and if the company continues to perform well, he can still Get more shares - but in London, there are some who are not so happy.

Well, to be precise, it’s quite depressing…

Seeing Chris going crazy, Barron quickly comforted her:

Well, it was all his own good deeds, what else could Barron say?

I can only think carefully about how to solve this problem.

……



But in the end, their trip to Australia was slightly postponed for a few days.

Because on December 12, the royal family issued an announcement:

"Her Majesty the Queen has the great honor to appoint His Royal Highness Barron Cavendish, The Most Noble Order of the Garter, Duke of Devonshire."

The Order of the Garter, whose full name should be The Most Noble Order of the Garter, is an order awarded to British knights. It originated in the Middle Ages and is the oldest knightly order in the world today and the highest honor system in the United Kingdom. Level one.

Well, this is true in many introductions. In fact, the Order of the Garter is the third most distinguished honor among all British medals and honors, after the Victoria Cross and the George Cross.

Receiving the Order of the Garter means that Barron has become a member of the Knights of the Garter, well, this order is also known as the Knights of the Garter.

Because Jiade is Garter, which is the transliteration of "garter".

There are many theories about the origin of Edward III's founding of the Knights of the Garter.

According to legend, in the 12th century AD, Saint George tied his knights together with garters during a battle in the Crusades, and ultimately won the war. In this interpretation, the "garter" is closely associated with England's "patron saint" St. George.

There is also a saying that knights in the Middle Ages often used garters to tie their weapons tightly to their bodies, so it was a symbol of bravery and prowess in battle.

And a more fragrant story widely circulated among the people is——

At a court ball, the Countess of Salisbury's garter suddenly came off while she was dancing with Edward III. The dignitaries present snickered at her for showing off. Edward picked up the garter, tied it back to the other's leg, and scolded her in French. These dignitaries - "Honi soit qui mal y pense" means "those who harbor evil thoughts shall be disgraced."

The most important symbol of the Order of the Garter is a garter with the words "Honi soit qui mal y pense" printed in gold letters - the wearer of the Order must wear this garter on formal occasions, and on some other occasions. Its image is imprinted in the logo.

The number of members of the Knights of the Garter is fixed at 25, which means that only 25 living British people will receive the Order of the Garter.

Of course, the number of recipients of the Order of the Garter is not just 25, but also some "supernumerary members". These supernumerary members include members of the British royal family and members of foreign royal families.

For example, in 1813, Alexander I of Russia became the first foreign ruler to be awarded the Order of the Garter.

The royal families including Japan, Belgium, and Denmark have all been awarded the Order of the Garter.

In addition, the Order of the Garter is one of the few honors that can only be awarded by the British monarch, and the British Prime Minister has no right to recommend or nominate the wearer.

Now, only the royal family has announced that Barron has received the Order of the Garter, and the formal award will be held next year.

Every June, the royal family holds "Garter Day" activities. On that day, all members of the Knights of the Garter will dress in Knights of the Garter costumes, hold public events, and parade.

The Queen will also confer medals on newly awarded members of the Order of the Garter on that day.

Before being able to receive the Order of the Garter, Barron also received news from His Royal Highness the Crown Prince, so he slightly postponed his departure from London.

In addition, he was able to receive this medal because of his previous establishment of the British Automobile Group, which brought back British brands such as Bentley and Aston Martin, and his contribution to spreading British culture and influence to the world.

Barron also had doubts. He bought Harrods and removed the statues of Diana and her lover, thus preserving the face of the royal family. This is probably one of the main reasons for receiving the medal this time...

"I am very grateful for the honor conferred on me by Her Majesty the Queen. It is a great honor for me to receive this medal. I will continue to work for the welfare of the British people and remember my oath and commitment to the country."

His spokesman told the media after the royal family announced the awarding of the Medal to Barengard.
