Chapter 331 Scandal

The Times, the largest news newspaper in the UK, reported that Hardy was awarded the title of Baron of the United Kingdom and Governor of the Cayman Islands.

And it's a front-page headline.

The above reports Hardy's investment in the UK in recent years, including investments in British domestic shipping, luxury goods and the news industry.

There is also large-scale investment from Hong Kong.

As well as supporting the British government in purchasing a large amount of national debt and providing loans, he was awarded a title and fiefdom as a reward for his contribution to the United Kingdom.

Below is a large photo of Hardy standing with members of the royal family and aristocracy, with the baron badge hanging on his chest.

Not only The Times, but also newspapers from other countries including Italy, France, and the United States reported on this incident.

This is great publicity for Britain.

But there is one newspaper that has a very strange angle in its reporting. It is the New York Times, one of the largest newspapers in the world, with branches all over the world.

Today, his newspaper not only reported on Hadi's ennoblement, posted a photo of him standing with the royal family, but also posted two other photos.

In the first photo,

Hardy stood there, and Princess Margaret helped Hardy adjust the corners of his suit. It can be seen from their clothes that this was before the royal photo was taken.

In the second photo, Hardy and Princess Margaret smiled at each other, looking intimate and natural. In this photo, Princess Margaret only showed her side face, but she smiled so beautifully that anyone could feel that she was very happy.

This is not the point.

The key point is the text explanation below.

"Everyone in the United States knows that Mr. Hardy is the owner of the Hardy Group, a recently emerged tycoon in the United States with billions of dollars in assets. He is also the largest media tycoon in the United States.

The reporter was fortunate enough to attend Mr. Hardy's knighting ceremony. After receiving the Order of Henry VI, the royal family prepared to take photos with Mr. Hardy. At this time, Princess Margaret saw that the corner of Mr. Hardy's clothes was folded inside.

"The princess naturally helped Mr. Hardy to tidy up the clothes. She took out the folded corner and carefully smoothed it. Mr. Hardy also behaved naturally during the process. When the princess was done, Mr. Hardy said thank you, and then the two smiled at each other."

"The performances of Mr. Hardy and Princess Margaret can't help but make people think about it."

"Princess Margaret helped Hardy with his clothes, and she did it so naturally, and Mr. Hardy also accepted it very naturally, which shows that the two of them often have this kind of contact and are used to it. At that time, it was just a subconscious action and he didn't think too much about it."

"Because of this, it can explain the problem better. The reporter even suspected that the two were already in love?!"

"Let's look back at Mr. Hardy's being awarded the title of British baron. Is it really that simple? Mr. Hardy spent $120 million for a small island."

"Everyone knows that an island with only 260 square kilometers and no natural resources is not worth such an investment. Why would Mr. Hardy do this? As an entrepreneur who is good at business, Mr. Hardy would never make such a loss-making investment."

"During his previous visit to the UK, Mr. Hardy invested more than $30 million in the UK, and when he went to the British territory of Hong Kong, he invested more than $100 million."

"Now many people know that the war in the East is still going on and the situation in Hong Kong is not optimistic. Many people choose to abandon their investments there. But at this time, Mr. Hardy invested heavily in absorbing Hong Kong assets, which played a great role in stabilizing Hong Kong's political economy."

"Could it be that Mr. Hardy did this because of Princess Margaret?"

"Let's guess, is it possible that the two were in love? For the princess, Mr. Hardy obtained British citizenship, invested heavily in the UK, obtained recognition from the British government and royal family, and was awarded a title. All of this was to make him eligible to be with the princess."

"Otherwise, there is no way to explain why Mr. Hardy did something that violated the investment principles of entrepreneurs."

“Perhaps all of this is for love!”

Scandal is what the public loves to hear the most.

When people read newspapers, they can at most get a grasp of current affairs when it comes to positive news reports, but they are naturally extremely curious and concerned about scandals.

And the protagonists of this scandal are the well-known American tycoon Jon Hardy and the most beautiful royal princess of the United Kingdom.

People naturally like to read this kind of news.

People found that the analysis in the newspaper did make some sense. It was okay for Hardy to invest in the UK, but he invested in dangerous Hong Kong to stabilize the situation in Hong Kong, and then spent 120 million to invest in a small island in the Caribbean that was of no value.

This behavior is indeed somewhat confusing.

But if it was for the princess, then everything would make sense.

Those unscrupulous tabloids began to make up stories based on this incident, and their stories were so detailed that even the timing was correct.

The final version that emerged was that Hardy went to Britain to invest, met the beautiful Princess Margaret, and fell in love at first sight. Princess Margaret also admired Hardy's talent, and the two quickly fell in love.

Although Mr. Hardy was rich, there was still some difference between their identities, so Hardy invested in Hong Kong assets, purchased British government bonds, and lent money to British banks. He eventually obtained royal recognition, obtained British citizenship, and was conferred the title of Baron.

After obtaining British citizenship and the title of baron, Mr. Hardy was qualified to pursue Princess Margaret. Everything Hardy had done before was for this purpose.

I have to say,

Brain damage is terrible.

The storyteller is more talented.

But many Americans believe that this is how the story should be, especially many women, who think this is simply too romantic.

It's a modern version of the love story between a commoner and a princess, just like a fairy tale.

Some people used to think that Hardy's acquisition of British citizenship might cause damage to American interests. Now that such a story has emerged, those negative thoughts have immediately disappeared.

I don’t know whether it is a good thing or a bad thing for Hardy.

The news from the United States was quickly transmitted back to Britain.

It also caused quite a stir in the UK. After all, Princess Margaret is the second in line to the throne. If something happens to Princess Elizabeth before she succeeds to the throne, or if something happens to her after she succeeds to the throne without giving birth to an heir, Princess Margaret may become the future Queen of the United Kingdom.

Princess Margaret was very beautiful since she was a child. As for her rebelliousness, outsiders did not know about it and the royal family covered it up very well.

Before her love affair with her guard was exposed, Princess Margaret was a typical beautiful princess in the eyes of the people.

Like in fairy tales.

Now that they know she might be in love, and that the man is an American, many people feel sad.

If this incident had been revealed a few days ago, before Hardy obtained British citizenship and the title of knight, it would have certainly caused great discussion and opposition among the public.

But the interesting thing is that Hardy has now obtained British citizenship and the title of baron. The newspapers also said that in order to get the opportunity to date the princess, he made a lot of efforts and donated 200 to 300 million US dollars to support Britain's revival.

Many British people also felt that Hardy's behavior was worthy of their respect and that he was qualified to date the princess.

When Hardy received reports from his men and read the various stories in the newspapers, he felt both amused and confused.

I invested in the UK because I am optimistic about the shipping and luxury goods industries.

I invested in Hong Kong because I knew that Hong Kong's industries would help me earn ten or a hundred times the profit in the future.

I spent a huge amount of money to buy the Cayman Islands because I knew it would give me the right to live a higher life and make more money for myself in the future.

These people have really wild imaginations. They can come up with such a wonderful story just because of a photo.

You are unworthy of your talents as journalists.

Hardy Films needs writers like you.

I don’t know what the women in my life will think when they see these reports.

......

Hongkong,

Victor also saw the report about the boss and was very surprised, "The boss is hooking up with the British princess again, it's amazing!"
