In addition, Barron and the others also met Prince William, but interestingly, they did not see him with his girlfriend Kaiser today.
There are different girls appearing around Prince William all the time, but after all, Cather is already his relatively stable girlfriend.
But regarding their relationship, there are always various true and false reports in the media. When Barron asked, William Island just said that Kaiser was still in school and did not come over this year.
They have also mentioned before that Prince William will graduate from school soon and is about to start an internship.
Before he goes to HSBC for an internship, he plans to choose a place to "experience" it.
At that time, he also told Barron that he hoped to intern at Chatsworth Manor. Well, Barron gave him a choice. He finally decided to go to the town near the manor, to the butcher shop belonging to the manor farm. "Working" inside...
They also talked about this matter. By the end of this month, William will leave for Derby County.
"Your Highness the Duke..."
The Countess of Bute came over just now and took her cousin Bonnie to the ladies, leaving Barron alone to join the party before the dinner started. Several nobles had a brief chat.
It’s nothing more than art auctions and charity activities...
In addition, there is the upcoming British general election...
On April 5th just past, the Prime Minister In the morning, we went to Buckingham Palace to ask Queen Elizabeth II for permission to dissolve Parliament and officially announced that the parliamentary election would be held on May 5.
In fact, the Prime Minister originally planned to visit the Queen on April 4, but due to the death of Pope Paul II, the original plan was postponed by one day.
According to British law, the Prime Minister can set the election date for any day within 5 years of the last election, but he needs to announce the election date one month in advance.
According to the results of just-released opinion polls, the Conservative Party is gradually closing the gap with the Labor Party led by the current Prime Minister.
For example, the headline of this morning's "The Times" is-"The rise in Conservative poll support makes the Labor Party even more uneasy." The editorial article also pointed out that "The Prime Minister should be concerned about the upcoming Worried about the election."
According to polls published by the Financial Times and the Independent, the Conservative Party's support rate is 39%, while the Labor Party's support rate is only 34%.
In polls conducted by three other newspapers, although Labor is still in the lead, the gap between the Conservative Party and Labor has narrowed to only 2 to 3 percentage points.
Since British constituencies are mostly concentrated in cities, and cities are the base areas of the Labor Party, many people believe that if the Conservative Party wants to win, it must lead the Labor Party by more than 10 percentage points in the polls.
What everyone is talking about more is that if the Labor Party wins again in this election, Blair will become the first Labor Prime Minister in history to be re-elected three times.
......
When Barron walked to the door of the hall, he met Miss Ella.
Looking in Bonnie's direction subconsciously, she didn't notice her side.
So Barron and Miss Ella went to the balcony on the second floor, which was a relatively quiet place.
"I feel like you have lost a lot of weight, Miss Ella."
Ella does look a little thin now compared to when Barron saw her a few months ago.
"I'm okay, it's just what happened before, I need time to calm down."
Speaking of which, Gabriel Windsor was originally born in the royal family, although now he is considered a side chamber. But because of this, her understanding of many things is deeper than ordinary people.
Just like what happened in the Hall family's suburban villa before, even though Gabriel had just "woke up" at that time, he didn't know what happened at that time...
< br>
But after that, everyone present, including her, went through relevant investigations and cross-examinations.
If Gabriel didn't know what happened at that time... I'm afraid he would be too stupid.
Even if it is not certain, there are still some guesses.
This is why she said such things to Barron at this time.
"That has nothing to do with you at all. You are innocent, Ella, don't think too much."
Facing Barron's gentle voice, Gabriel approached Barron, rested his head on his shoulder, and said softly:
"Barron, give me a hug, okay?"
Her voice sounded very weak. At this moment, Barron could smell the faint fragrance of the girl coming from his ears... In the end, he put his arms around Gabrielle's slender waist and pulled her She held him in her arms.
What happened next was very natural...
Miss Ella raised her head slightly and closed her eyes.
Her eyelashes trembled slightly, which also showed the girl's nervousness at this time.
Barron lowered his head and kissed...
...
In fact, Barron and Gabrielle Windsor did not get along for too long on the balcony. Soon he was back in the hall.
After all, this is a royal dinner. Well, it would be exciting to hide and make out with Miss Ella, but it would be a bit embarrassing if someone accidentally bumped into her.
Besides, Bonnie is still here, so Barron cannot do anything too risky.
When he walked from upstairs to the hall, he met Chris, Countess of Bute.
“Where is Bonnie?”
Barron asked casually when he saw her.
"She's looking for you..."
"?"
Seeing Barron's confused expression, the Countess rolled her eyes at him and said:
"You stole Don’t you wipe off the lipstick on your mouth after eating?”
Hearing this, Barron subconsciously wanted to reach out and wipe his mouth, but suddenly thought that he had packed it up before coming down...
Seeing his performance, the Countess had an expression of "I knew it was like this" on her face...
"Wait until I take care of you."
Barron's words, On the contrary, there was a bit of expectation in the countess's eyes...
...
"Your Highness the Duke, I have to say that your operation on the Northern Gas Company is indeed wonderful, by the way. It should be called United Energy Group now”
"Thank you for the compliment, Mr. Blankfein, but in front of Goldman Sachs, these are just tricks..."
Barron glanced at the time. It is now two o'clock in the afternoon, and it should be nine in the morning in New York time. Point, it seems that the other party called me as soon as he got to work...
As the CEO of Goldman Sachs Group, Lloyd Blankfein’s call was definitely not just for this unsatisfying reason. compliment.
That seems to be the case, Lloyd continued:
"But Your Highness, I think that whether it is United Energy Group or Colo Petroleum Company, although they have excellent prospects, they currently have the most It’s just a shelf. If we want to develop stably, we need more supplements...”
"You mean...?"
Hearing Lloyd Blankfein's words and thinking of the recent news, Barron also thought of something...
"I don't know. Are you interested in Unocal? ”
Sure enough!
American Unocal Corporation (Unocal Corporation) was founded in 1890 and is an old oil company with a history of more than 100 years.
Currently, Unocal ranks ninth among American oil and gas giants in terms of reserves; Unocal is the seventh largest oil company in the United States in terms of operating income.
