Chapter 53 Cavendish Hotel
The Crown Prince said that he would try his best to find those people, which Barron somewhat believed, because if the other party was really connected to any terrorist organization, no matter that The more outrageous "Al Qaeda" that helps Scotland Yard's trash or other organizations considered by MI6 are now not easily let go by the British government.
You must know that Al Qaeda is not the only organization that caused the "911" incident in the United States. It poses a threat to the United States...
Since the United States and other countries launched "anti-terrorism" against Afghanistan, After the "War", almost all participating countries, including Britain, have been threatened by al-Qaeda attacks, so the relevant departments in Britain have been very vigilant about this.
So as long as the "London Star" gang is really related to certain terrorist organizations, it will definitely become the focus of their investigation.
"Your Highness, I know that by now, the possibility of recovering the lost funds of the family is very small, but no matter who the other party is, those who offend the Devonshire family will have to pay the price. If Scotland Yard and MI6 If they can’t find the result, I will continue and will not give up.”
“Barron, on this point, I have the same idea as you, but I hope you will treat us and others. Our allies are confident that we have contacted our friends in the United States and will first investigate the previous members of the gang on Wall Street."
Just when the Prince of Wales was about to leave, he finally investigated. Barron said:
"By the way, I have already asked about the renovation of King's Cross. St. Pancras Station is about to be completed soon, and the renovation plan for the entire King's Cross area will be put on the agenda. Or is it? That said, Barron, if you need any help, just call me.”
……
After bidding farewell to the crown prince and the prince, when Barron walked out of the hotel used for charity fund-raising events, he encountered several reporters who tried to interview him. After briefly expressing his views on the matter of the Independent, Barron said in a friendly manner He declined more personal questions about him and got into the Rolls-Royce.
In the meeting just now, the Prince of Wales showed more kindness than before. Barron was not naive enough to think that these were simply the royal family’s love for the nobles - everyone You must first show your own value before you can gain the other party's "friendship". Now Barron's value has begun to be recognized by the other party.
"Your Highness the Duke, your phone number..."
As soon as she sat in the car, Wang Wanting handed her the phone - when she participated in a charity fundraising event before, his The mobile phone is always handed over to my personal assistant.
Looking at Aurora's name on the phone screen, Barron hesitated for a moment and answered the call:
"Dear Aurora, I was worried that I couldn't contact you before..."
Before Barron finished speaking, Aurora's voice came out on the phone:
"Barron, you bastard! Shameless bastard!"
Aurora's voice was so loud that even in receiver mode, Barron couldn't help but take the phone away from his ear, but he could still hear the voice behind her...
"Dear , I’m afraid you have some misunderstanding about me..."
"Really? Barron, are you going to explain to me what was reported in the newspaper about your new girlfriend, the TV host?"
Well, Barron glanced at the front seat of the car. 's personal assistant is looking at the notebook with no expression on his face.
"I originally wanted to tell you, Aurora, but you didn't answer my calls or reply to my messages. I even suspected that you had blocked me..."
" You reminded me, Barron, that I really should block you!"
"No, dear Aurora, don't be impulsive. No one can predict such things, can we? Friend, best friend..."
"Sh*t! Do you think of me as a friend? You just want to sleep with me and don't care what I think. Don't let me see you again. Go find that monster, bastard!"
"My dear, I will talk to you another day..."
Before Barron finished speaking, he heard the other party hanging up the phone.
When he dialed again, as expected, he heard the notification tone that the other party had turned off his phone. After an unknown length of silence in the Rolls-Royce...
"Your Highness the Duke, we have arrived at the Cavendish Hotel."
Wang Wanting broke the quiet and slightly awkward atmosphere.
What they came to this time was the Cavendish Hotel in London. This hotel was built in 1968 by the 11th Duke and Duchess of Devonshire.
The hotel is located on Oxford Street in Soho, London. It is a four-story building with a total of 33 rooms.
The word Soho is familiar to everyone and is used by many cities to name entertainment areas.
Soho is located in the city of Westminster, a sub-administrative district in the west of London. Earlier, Soho was originally London's red light district...
Later, this special business gradually declined, and Soho is located close to Mayfair, London's financial district. Every day, many office workers choose to spend time in Soho's fashionable bars or cafes after get off work, gradually making Soho a recreational area where young people gather.
Many fashionable bars, small shops, and high-end hotels are now gathered here, and only a few special places are still open.
It can be said that this location is very good for a hotel. It is precisely because the business conditions of the Cavendish Hotel are satisfactory that Barron's father previously intended to expand the scale of the hotel in London. .
Another reason is that this small building of the Cavendish Hotel was first built in the 1950s and was later bought by the family to run the hotel. It has been nearly half a century now. Both the construction and decoration are a bit old.
"Your Highness the Duke, the land of this hotel, including the attached parking lot, covers an area of about 2 hectares, and all belongs to the Devonshire family..."
On the hotel side, including Yulia Welcoming Barron with the hotel manager Jose Pineda, Yulia introduced the hotel to Barron.
“At the beginning of this year, there were plans to renovate and update this place, but in the end due to the financial situation, the plan was temporarily shelved...”
Yuliya’s words imply Barron also understood the meaning of "London Star". At that time, his father was investing most of his funds in the "London Star". I am afraid that the idea at that time was to update the hotel after making a profit, and even open another one in London. A higher-end hotel, but the result was unexpected...
After visiting this Cavendish Hotel, Barron said to Yulia and the hotel manager beside him:
"Indeed, as you said, although it can be seen that the hotel has tried its best to maintain it, the facilities and decoration here are a bit old, and it is time to make changes."
His words After falling, Barron could see the hope in the eyes of hotel manager Jose Pineda. With a smile on his face, he continued:
“But instead of tinkering, it’s better to make changes. If carried out more thoroughly, the area here can fully support a taller building, which will not only increase the hotel's business area, but also provide space for other operations."
"Duke. Your Highness, do you mean to demolish this place and rebuild a high-rise building on the same site?"
José, the hotel manager, asked tentatively.
"Yes."
"What about the hotel? The construction time can be as short as one year or as long as two years..."
"You can rest assured about this, Pineda Sir, this plan is not carried out immediately, there will be a transition plan for the hotel..."
