章 53: Chapter 53 Cavendish Hotel
The Crown Prince said that he would try his best to find those people, and Barron believed it a little, because if the other party was really connected with some terrorist organization, whether it was the more outrageous "Al-Qaeda" of those Scotland Yard bastards or other organizations that MI6 believed in, at present, the British government would not let them go easily.
You know, Al-Qaeda alone is not the only organization that caused the 9/11 incident in the United States, and it poses a threat to the United States...
Since the United States and other countries launched the "war on terror" against Afghanistan, almost all participating countries, including Britain, have been threatened with attacks by al-Qaeda, so relevant departments in Britain have always been very vigilant about this.
Therefore, as long as the "London Star" gang is really related to certain terrorist organizations, they will definitely become the focus of their investigation.
"Your Highness, I know that by now, the possibility of recovering the family's lost funds is probably very small, but no matter who the other party is, those who offended the Devonshire family will have to pay the price. If Scotland Yard and MI6 cannot find any results, I will still continue and will not give up."
"Barron, I agree with you on this point, but I hope you have confidence in us and our allies. We have already contacted our friends in the United States and will first investigate the members of the previous gang on Wall Street."
As the Prince of Wales was about to leave, he said to Barron:
"By the way, I've already asked about the renovation of King's Cross. St. Pancras Station will be completed soon, and the renovation plan for the entire King's Cross will be put on the agenda. As I said before, Barron, if you need any help, just call me directly."
…
After saying goodbye to the Crown Prince and the Prince, Barron walked out of the door of the hotel used for charity fundraising. He was met with several reporters who tried to interview him. After briefly expressing his views on the Independent newspaper, Barron kindly declined more personal questions and got into the Rolls-Royce.
In the meeting just now, the Prince of Wales showed more goodwill than before. Barron is not naive to think that this is simply the royal family's love for the nobles - everyone must first demonstrate their own value before they can gain the other party's "friendship". Now Barron's value has begun to be affirmed by the other party.
"Your Highness, your phone..."
As soon as she got into the car, Wang Wanting handed her the phone - when she participated in charity fundraising events before, she always gave her phone to her personal assistant.
Looking at Aurora's name on the phone screen, Barron hesitated for a moment, but still answered the call:
"Dear Aurora, I couldn't contact you before, and I was worried..."
Before Barron could finish, Aurora's voice came over 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 her voice behind him...
"My dear, I'm afraid you have some misunderstanding about me..."
"Really? Barron, are you going to explain to me about that newspaper report about your new girlfriend, the TV host?"
Well, Barron glanced at the front seat of the car, where his personal assistant was looking at his notebook with no expression on his face.
"I wanted to tell you, Aurora, but you didn't answer my calls or reply to my messages. I almost suspected that you had blocked me..."
"You reminded me, Barron, I should indeed block you!"
"No, dear Aurora, don't be impulsive. No one can predict feelings, right? We are still friends, best friends..."
"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 goblin, asshole!"
"My dear, I will talk to you some other time..."
Before Barron could finish his words, he heard the other party hang up the phone.
When he called again, as expected, he heard the tone indicating that the other party's phone was turned off.
After an unknown amount of silence in the Rolls-Royce...
"Your Highness, we have arrived at the Cavendish Hotel."
Wang Wanting broke the quiet and slightly awkward atmosphere.
This time they came to the Cavendish Hotel in London, which 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 not unfamiliar to everyone. It is used by many cities to name entertainment districts.
Soho is located in the City of Westminster, a secondary administrative district in western London. In earlier times, Soho was originally the red-light district of London...
Later, this special business gradually declined. In addition, Soho is located close to Mayfair, London's financial district. Many office workers choose to hang out in Soho's fashionable bars or cafes after get off work every day, gradually making Soho a recreational community where young people gather.
Now many fashionable bars, small shops and high-end hotels gather here, and only a few special places are still open.
It can be said that this location is very good for the hotel. It was precisely because the business performance of the Cavendish Hotel was satisfactory that Baron's father intended to expand 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 a family to run a hotel. It has been nearly half a century since then, and both the building and decoration are somewhat old.
"Your Highness, the land of this hotel, including the attached parking lot, covers an area of about 2 hectares and all belongs to the Devonshire family..."
At the hotel, Yulia and the hotel manager Jose Pineda welcomed Barron's arrival. Yulia introduced the hotel to Barron.
"At the beginning of this year, there was a plan to renovate and update the place, but due to the financial situation, the plan was temporarily shelved..."
Barron also understood the hidden meaning of Yulia's words. At that time, his father had invested most of his funds in the "London Star". I'm afraid that the idea at that time was to renovate the hotel after it became profitable, and even open another more upscale hotel in London. Unexpectedly...
After visiting the Cavendish Hotel, Barron said to Yulia and the hotel manager beside him:
"It is 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. It is time to make some changes."
As he finished speaking, Barron could see the anticipation in the eyes of the hotel manager Jose Pineda. With a smile on his face, he continued,
"But instead of making minor repairs, it's better to make a more thorough change. The area here can fully support a taller building. That way, we can not only increase the hotel's business area, but also provide space for other operations."
"Your Highness, do you mean to demolish this place and rebuild a high-rise building in its place?"
The hotel manager Jose asked tentatively.
"Yes."
"What about the hotel? The construction time may be as short as one year or as long as two years..."
"Don't worry about this, Mr. Pineda. This plan will not be implemented immediately. There will be a transition plan for the hotel..."
