Chapter 320 Neverland
“I want to say that the layout here is good, Barron.”
“This is far from it, Your Highness, this will be a big project, I I hope this will become the wonderland in everyone’s dreams.”
Barron said to the Duke of Westminster beside him.
“Is that why you named this place Neverland?”
This sentence was asked by His Royal Highness the Crown Prince.
Barron nodded in agreement.
They are located in the southwest suburbs of London, on a small island in the Thames River near Twickenham, Richmond District.
This small island was formerly known as Eel Pie Island (EelPie Island). It covers an area of 9 acres, equivalent to about 36,500 square meters. The entire island is only connected to Twickenham on the north bank of the Thames through a narrow bridge. Towns are connected.
Now, it was bought by Barron in the name of an offshore company and renamed Neverland, instead of the weird name before - Eel Pie Island.
The weird name "Eel Pie Island" is said to have come from the fact that the islanders once rowed boats along the Thames River to sell their delicious eel pies.
Another famous legend about the origin of the island’s name is that it once became the place where the famous “stallion” king Henry VIII kept his many mistresses in the 16th century.
At that time, the upper class advocated French, and the king and his secret harem called this place lede Paix - the island of peace in English.
Local residents mistakenly pronounced this place as EelPie Island according to the English pronunciation...
For a long time, Eel Pie Island was just a hidden place on the outskirts of London until 1950. The legendary "Eel Pie Island Hotel" after the 1980s made it a famous literary and artistic resort in England and even the world.
However, in 1967, the hotel was ordered by the authorities to undergo a comprehensive restoration because the building was in disrepair. The hotel owner was unable to afford the huge sum of 200,000 pounds required for repairs.
After the crowdfunding failed, this grand hotel that once entertained every night had no choice but to close down.
After the hotel closed down, the building became an unclaimed land and was occupied by the hippies who settled on the island...
By 1970, Eel Pie Island had completely lost its business and management aspect and became a The largest hippie community in the UK.
However, in the same year, a fire of unknown cause completely destroyed this building that had witnessed countless legends, and the hippie community was also dealt a huge blow.
Later, after the hippie trend faded, a small group of people who were passionate about art slowly gathered on Eel Pie Island.
They built a shack on the ruins of a hotel and a rock music stage and transformed it into an art studio...
But speaking of it, it seems to be particularly prone to fires - in 1996, Another fire broke out on Eel Pie Island, destroying 60 art studios.
Then the island gradually began to become deserted. Until the beginning of this year, a company contacted the local government and directly purchased the island as a whole, named it "Dream Island", and started a new life. of construction.
There is no doubt that this is Barron's handiwork.
He has been looking for a suitable location near London to build a place where "his own people" can hold talks and gatherings, away from the eyes of the public and the media.
Eel Pie Island, now known as Neverland, is the place he is most satisfied with - it is located on the outskirts of London, but not too far away; it is in the Thames River, with only one bridge connected to the land. Confidentiality is good.
And it is easily accessible whether by car, yacht or helicopter.
The construction of Neverland began as early as half a year ago. At present, the small bridge leading to the shore has been rebuilt to allow large vehicles to enter, and guard posts have been added to the side of Neverland. . Based on the abandoned theme building of the original Eel Pie Island Hotel, the reinforced and renovated three-story building will become the Fantasy Island Resort Hotel, providing accommodation, catering, chess and card entertainment and other projects...
At this time, the construction here has been completed and the final decoration is in progress.
At the same time, the helipad and small pier on the island have also been completed.
In addition, five holiday villas, sports fields, SPA, indoor and outdoor swimming pools and other facilities are still under construction.
In addition, it is worth mentioning that the security work of Neverland is directly handled by the Protector Security Company, and all the daily staff here are maids recruited through the previous "service company". Beauties from all over the world - second only in quality to those in The Holme mansion in Regents Park, Barron...
These women have signed contracts with Neverland after undergoing rigorous training in all aspects. Long-term contracts with confidentiality clauses.
Although the construction of Neverland has not yet been completed, the resort hotel already has some personnel to manage it.
Barron invited the Duke of Westminster and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince here for a private gathering.
After entering a private room in the resort hotel, and after the waitress brought the drinks in, the Duke of Westminster and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince also began to relax.
"The quality of your waiters here is very good, Barron."
Hearing the words of the Duke of Westminster, Barron smiled and said:
"These are specially customized from outside England and are absolutely reliable. However, Mr. Grosvenor, these are just appetizers. There will be more delicious delicacies coming later..."
"Oh? Then I'm very much looking forward to it..."
These waitresses are no worse than those celebrities outside. Since Barron said so, the expectations of the Duke of Westminster and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince have also been successful. be aroused.
"Your Highness, the Duke, is ready."
When a woman with a mature figure, dressed in a somewhat "queen" style, with a charming mask on her face, walked up to Barron. Side, when he whispered this in his ear, Barron nodded.
Then, after the lady clapped her hands, the curtain in front of several people was opened by the waitresses...
At this moment, the Duke of Westminster and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince will look at the " The sight of the mature woman dressed up as "Queen" and wearing a mysterious mask turned to the opened curtain...
"The one opposite us is a one-way perspective glass, which means that we can see Opposite, but they can't see us..."
Under Barron's explanation, the expressions of the two guests immediately relaxed and they began to look at the scenery opposite.
On the other side of the "glass curtain wall", under the light of the light, there was already a row of more than ten girls standing there.
These girls range from youthful to mature. The youngest is probably only eighteen or nineteen years old, while the more mature ones look to be in their thirties.
They have different body shapes, some have very S-curves, some are tall, and some are slightly green.
It can be said that various styles exist. The only thing in common is that the girls are all very beautiful and have their own styles. But when it comes to scoring, out of 100 points, they will all score above 85 points...< br>
These girls are all professional models, so they all know how to maximize their advantages. In this competition, the Duke of Westminster and His Royal Highness the Crown Prince even feel that it is difficult to choose. .
"These people have signed a confidentiality agreement, and the consequences of violating this agreement are unbearable for them, so...you can choose as many as you like..."
