Bonnie’s Invitation
However, although Barron wanted to inquire about the renovation plan near King's Cross Station from Viscount Bute, the land for the gas storage tank was in his hands at this time and he had the initiative, so there was no need to rush and release his willingness. After adopting a cooperative attitude, just wait and see what happens.
So after completing the ceremony of being awarded the title of Duke, Barron was ready to leave London. Back to Chatsworth.
On the one hand, it was to get some peace and quiet. After the "Golden Jubilee Celebration", because the youngest Duke of Devonshire was canonized by the Queen herself, Barron Cavendish's name was once again included in the reports of newspapers and media. , now even near his apartment, reporters with cameras hanging around their necks can be seen from time to time.
Well, if you have seen the madness of British tabloid reporters, you can understand Barron's mood at this time.
In addition, this can be regarded as a retreat. Leaving London and returning to Chatsworth Manor, you can deal with the family assets and gauge the reaction of Viscount Bute.
As for the Asahi World Cup, which is still in full swing at this time...
In fact, in Barron's eyes, betting on the World Cup is very much like small-cap stocks in the stock market.
The characteristic of small-cap stocks is that driven by good news or speculation, there will be huge increases, and the price can often rise several times, more than ten times or even higher.
However, small-cap stocks, precisely because of their small size and relatively low circulation, are not suitable for large-capital operations.
Just like the World Cup betting, in the early days, Barron had a relatively small amount of funds, so he could use all the funds for betting (full position operation).
Now that the amount of funds exceeds 10 million pounds, it is like facing large funds in small-cap stocks. It is impossible to invest all the funds in them, or even only a small part.
In this way, Barron can diversify his existing funds, purchase games selected in a later period in advance, and only need to wait for the results to appear before redeeming the prize.
He no longer has to stay in London or go to France, and can use this time to return to Chatsworth Manor.
But before leaving London, Barron had one more thing to do.
"Ms. Moore, you said before that our family fund currently still has a bank loan of 25 million pounds, right?"
"Yes, Duke Barron, plus other debts and loan interest, the total debt is nearly 30 million pounds. "
Yuliya took out a document and handed it to Barron and said:
"As you asked, I have listed all these liabilities in detail and explained them. There are also copies of the relevant debt documents. Barron
glanced at the document and took a general look at the debt list:
"Thank you, Ms. Moore, it's a very detailed form. I will take the time to look at it carefully. I may have to call you at that time." "
After that day, Yulia also felt that Barron had obviously changed a lot, especially compared with the unreliable playboy in his previous impression. Maybe after experiencing the drastic changes in the family, he would be disappointed. People will mature quickly.
I hope he can really change and save the Cavendish family...
Thinking this, Yulia's tone became much gentler:
"This is my duty, Duke Barron, is there anything else?"
"There is indeed something else. I would like you to inform the creditors and the bank managers who gave us the loans. I hope to talk with them."
"Are you calling them all?"
Yulia said with doubts in her tone. I know what Barron has in mind.
"People from the bank can make an appointment to meet us tomorrow afternoon. As for the creditors, we can make an appointment there after we return to Chatsworth Manor." ...
"
Mr. Barron? Oh, by the way. , Congratulations, you should now be called His Highness the Duke of Barron."
"Bonnie, I'm glad to receive your call. Besides, I said, just call me Barron. I don't think friends need to be so kind. You're welcome."
After sending Yulia away, Barron received a call from Bonnie with some surprise.
Ever since I met this delicate-faced beauty at the banquet at Viscount Bute's house that day, during this period because I rejected Viscount Bute's proposal to buy land near King's Cross Station, and he himself was actually a little busy, he was really happy. Have not contacted the other party.
Hearing the sweet voice of the other party at this time, Barron not only thought of this beauty's elven appearance and slender legs, but also was a little curious about the reason why she took the initiative to call him this time.
"That's it. Will you go to Berkshire in two days?"
"Berkshire?"
Barron asked doubtfully.
"Yes, have you forgotten? The Royal Ascot is about to start. Because this year is the Queen's Golden Jubilee, the scale is bigger than ever..."
Bonnie said this, and Barron thought about it. It turns out that the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebrations have just been completed, and it's time for the annual Royal Ascot.
Royal Ascot in England, also known as "Ascot Jockey Club".
As an important event that cannot be ignored on the British social calendar, the Royal Ascot has always maintained its reputation as "the most luxurious and luxurious event in the world".
This event has a history of more than 300 years and has always been one of the annual events most valued by traditional British people.
One morning in the early summer of 1711, Queen Anne of England went on a horseback trip to an open area not far from Windsor Castle. She found that this was an excellent place for "horses to run wildly", and the idea of holding a horse race was born. The idea started the history of Royal Ascot.
The Royal Ascot begins in the third week of June every year. The venue is Berkshire, located in southern England, west of Greater London and south of the Thames River. It has beautiful scenery and is a natural horse racing resort.
For hundreds of years, members of the British royal family, represented by the Queen, must participate in the game every year.
The current Queen is a loyal fan of the Royal Ascot Jockey Club and sends her own horse to participate almost every year.
The final winner will also be presented with the award by the Queen herself.
It can be said that the British Royal Equestrian Club is regarded as one of the classic sports that demonstrates the elegance of Western aristocrats.
"Are you going to attend? Bonnie, who else is there?"
"I am going to go. I was delayed from last year's horse racing meeting because of work. In addition, my cousin and Viscount Bute will also go together. Today We also talked about you when we went to their house."
Sure enough, Bonnie's invitation this time also contained the shadow of Viscount Bute. I just don't know whether the other party took the initiative to help Viscount Bute to make an appointment with her, or she also Being kept in the dark?
"Well, I'm really a little disappointed. Bonnie, I thought your invitation was meant to be a private date between the two of us."
At this time, Barron walked to the window and looked at the night outside the window. Lamplight, with a faint smile on his face, said.
"When it comes to dating, the gentleman should propose it first, Barron."
Listening to Bonnie's slightly coquettish tone, Barron replied:
"I'm really sorry, Bonnie, you know what happened to me recently. It's too much, so I haven't had much time. I think I should remedy it in time, but I don't know if you can accept it..." "
Then I want to hear what kind of 'remedy' it is first, Barron. "
Actually, I'm afraid I won't be able to attend the Royal Ascot the day after tomorrow because I need to go back to the family estate and have some urgent matters that need to be dealt with..." "
That's it..."
"Actually, I wanted to invite you." We went to Chatsworth Manor together. The scenery there is beautiful and different from London... But I'm afraid you will miss this year's horse racing meeting again." "It's
really confusing, Barron, give it to me There's a problem, I need to think about it..."
The next second Bonnie said these words, she couldn't help but laugh:
"Okay, I have decided to go to your manor as a guest."
