Rebirth of England.

Chapter 023 Bonnie’s invitation



However, although Barron wanted to inquire from Viscount Bute about the renovation plan near King's Cross Station, 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. After expressing his willingness to cooperate, 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 Darcy Manor.

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, even this can be regarded as taking a step back. Leaving London and returning to Darcy Manor 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 at this time, World Cup betting 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 1000 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 doesn't have to stay in London or go to France, and can use this time to return to Darcy 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 2500 million pounds, right?"

"Yes, Duke Barron, plus other debts and loan interest, the total debt is nearly 3000 million pounds."

Yulia took out a document and handed it to Barron and said:

"According to your instructions, I have listed all these liabilities in detail and explained them. There are also copies of the relevant debt documents."

Barron's eyes scanned 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 to trouble you then."

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, it would make people feel uncomfortable. Mature soon.

I hope he can really change and save the Cavendish family...

Thinking of this, Yulia's tone became much gentler:

"This is my duty, Duke Barron, is there anything else?"

"There is indeed something else, that is, please inform the creditors and the bank managers who lent us the loans. I hope to talk with them."

"Are you all called?"

There was doubt in Yulia's tone, and she didn't know what Barron had 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 Darcy Manor."

……

"Mr. Barron? Oh, by the way, congratulations. You should now be called His Highness Duke Barron."

"Bonnie, I'm glad to receive your call. Besides, I told you, just call me Barron. I don't think friends need to be so polite."

After sending Yulia away, Barron received a call from Bonnie somewhat unexpectedly.

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.

"Well, 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..."

When Bonnie said this, Barron remembered that it turned out that the Queen's Golden Jubilee celebration had just been held and it was 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?"

"I'm planning 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. When we went to their house today, we also talked about you."

Sure enough, this time Bonnie's invitation contained the shadow of Viscount Bute, but she didn't know whether the other party took the initiative to help Viscount Bute to make an appointment with her, or was she also 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, looked at the lights in the night outside the window, and said with a faint smile on his face.

"If it's a date, the gentleman should propose it first, Barron."

Listening to Bonnie's slightly coquettish tone, Barron replied:

"I'm really sorry, Bonnie. You know I have too many things going on recently, so I haven't had much time. I think I should make up for 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 manor and there are some urgent matters that need to be dealt with..."

"Is that so..."

"Actually, I originally wanted to invite you to Darcy Manor. 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, you gave me a difficult problem, I need to think about it..."

The next second Bonnie said these words, she couldn't help laughing:

"Okay, I have decided to go to your manor as a guest."
