Chapter 8 Frustration
“I don’t want this either, Butler Sean, but there is no other way, right? As the heir of the family, you need to bear your own responsibilities, that is, you must try your best to preserve our family’s Assets..."
Barron looked directly into Butler Sean's eyes and said sincerely:
"If there is still a way, then I don't want to take the risk, but that is really too much. It's difficult, now Under the current circumstances, if you want to get the best results, you need to take certain risks, but I can assure you, Sean Butler, that I will not take too much money to risk, plus this hundred thousand pounds. Taking some from the family fund should be enough."
In the end, Butler Sean has a deep affection for the family and does not want the family to fall apart; but at the same time, he is also concerned about Barron's risky behavior. Not much confidence.
But as Barron said, it is difficult to have other options now - selling part of the property is one of the methods, but in the face of the previous huge losses, if you really have to do this, I am afraid that even Chatz It’s hard to stay at Worth Manor!
So at this moment, he could only choose to believe Barron and secretly pray to God to bless the Cavendish family.
"Master Barron, I will also do my best to reduce the expenditure of the manor. In the long years, Chatsworth Manor has had many critical moments, and we have finally resolved them. I hope this It's the same thing once."
"It will definitely happen, Butler Sean..."
Barron did not hide the firmness in his eyes and turned to the butler:
"By the way, I didn't know much about the family trust fund before. Regarding the fund manager, Ms. Moore, Butler Sean, can you tell me more about her?"
...
If Butler Sean is just worried about the fact that Barron is preparing to use part of his funds to make more radical investments...
Then in In the case of Ms. Julia Moore, the manager of the family trust fund, his proposal was decisively rejected.
“Lord Barron, I have to say it bluntly, if you are preparing to raise funds to pay inheritance tax; or if you want to sell part of the family assets to make up for losses and pay for bank loans, then I will definitely cooperate with you. But if you want to use this money for risky investment, I’m sorry, I can’t do that!”
When Julia Moore came to face Barron again in the master's study at Chatsworth Manor and learned what he thought, she said this without hesitation.
"Oh? Are you sure? Ms. Moore, then I would like to know as the manager of the family fund, how did you react to my father's investment in the 'London Star'?"
Hearing Barron mention this matter, Yulia's expression instantly turned cold:
"Do you think I am responsible for this investment? Lord Barron?"
"It doesn't make much sense to talk about responsibility now, but I think as the manager of a family fund, all you need to do is use your professional knowledge to help us manage the family industry, rather than make decisions about it. I know It was my father's opinion to invest in 'London Star', so you can't say that you were in compliance with his investment intention at the time, but you rejected my investment opinion so arbitrarily!"
In response to Barron's words, Yulia shook her head:
"Your Excellency, I still regret that even though I raised objections to your father's investment opinion, I did not finally stick to my position; So now, I can't make the same mistake again... In addition, in fact, although you are the only heir to the Duke of Devonshire family, now procedurally, you have not inherited the family's title and property. Industry..."
"So you mean you won't obey my orders now? Even if I am the only heir of the family?"
Barron stood up from his seat and walked over. In front of Yulia, there was still a smile on her face, and she said lightly: "It seems that Ms. Moore, you really don't have much confidence in me, or you have no confidence at all."
< br>
"I just said, Your Excellency, if you want to pay inheritance tax for inheriting the title and family assets, or to stop the family's losses, then I will fully cooperate with you, but if it is such a risky investment ..."
Yuliya was not weak at all in terms of momentum, and she did not escape Barron's look:
" Then I will not agree. Maybe you are right. I respect your status as heir, but as the manager of the family trust fund, I cannot take the risk, even in the future, you will drive me away from this position. ! ”
Obviously, this meeting between the two did not produce a satisfactory result for Barron, and it could be said that they broke up in the end.
But it is true that as Yulia said, even though Barron is the sole heir of the Cavendish family, in the final analysis, he has not yet completed the procedures for inheriting the family title and industry, so as a family trust As the fund manager, she can choose to take risks and cooperate with Barron's investment, or she can also refuse the other party's request. Barron currently has no way to do this.
It can still be seen from her appearance that Yulia's appearance is still different from that of traditional British people. The reason is that she contains most of the Slavic ancestry.
In the previous conversation with Sean butler, Barron also learned more about Julia Moore.
Yuliya Moore’s full name should be Yulia Shakhovskoy Moore. Her mother’s family comes from Russia. After the October Revolution, they fled from Tsarist Russia to Europe. Came to England.
It can be said that most of the Tsarist Russian nobles who were in exile at that time did not have a good life - on the one hand, they left Tsarist Russia too hastily at that time, and on the other hand, they also encountered many setbacks along the way, including deception and Looting, so there are very few exiled nobles who can really retain a certain amount of property.
By Yulia's mother's generation, although they have integrated into British society, their family's life can only barely be called middle-class.
Her mother was married to a lawyer who was closely related to the Cavendish family. Therefore, after Yulia's father died in an accident, Yulia's family received help from the Cavendish family. It can be said that Yulia was able to complete her studies largely due to the support from the Cavendish family.
It was also because of this relationship that the family originally chose Julia Moore, who graduated from a prestigious school, as the manager of the family trust fund - this trust originated from this.
But now it seems that Yulia’s trust in Barron is quite lacking.
The idea of obtaining funds from family funds for investment was basically rejected.
The funds currently available to Barron are only 100,000 pounds from the assets directly held by the family.
Unless he can pay the inheritance tax as soon as possible and complete the inheritance procedures for the family title and industry, it seems that it will be difficult to get more support from Yulia.
