Chapter 619: Encounter in Monaco
Barron did not continue to wait in Paris for the final results of negotiations with the Lagardère Group, but first took Beatrice with him to Monaco.
Speaking of Monaco, many people tend to confuse it with Morocco. In fact, Morocco is located in North Africa, while Monaco is located in Europe, close to France - its land is surrounded by France on three sides and borders the Mediterranean Sea to the south. Therefore, the relationship between Monaco and France Close, was originally a principality belonging to France, and later became independent.
And Monaco has also been participating in Ligue 1.
The country of Monaco is very small. Before 2000, its land area was less than 1.7 square kilometers. Later, after land reclamation, its area increased to more than 2 square kilometers - this area is the Yanjing Tiantongyuan. A quarter of this neighborhood...
However, despite its small land area, Monaco can be called the country with the highest density of wealthy people in the world. This is due to Monaco’s very successful gaming, tourism and banking industries...
As for the rich people who are willing to immigrate to Monaco, it is also because of their "zero tax" policy and the excellent geographical location, which makes the rich flock to Monaco.
Finally, he had the opportunity to accompany Beatrice, so taking advantage of this opportunity, Barron took her to Monaco for vacation.
As we all know, some of the most famous gambling cities in the world include Macau, Las Vegas and Monaco.
In 1856, Prince Charles III of Monaco opened the first casino on the headland north of the old city in order to solve the financial crisis. Since then, Monaco has gradually become one of the richest countries in Europe.
Today, Monaco has a developed gaming industry, the most famous of which is the "Casino del Sol". This Mediterranean-style building cost 500 million US dollars and is known as the most beautiful casino in the world.
This time, Barron, Beatrice and their group checked into the Paris Hotel near the casino.
"Wow, we won, honey."
The Russian roulette ball came to a stop. When Beatrice saw the result, she happily shouted to Barron and gave him a kiss.
The so-called small gambling is pleasant, but big gambling is harmful to the body. For Barron, there is no need to seek excitement through these casinos. In the financial market and other larger fields, the excitement of participating in it far exceeds these.
This time he brought Beatrice here just for entertainment, and after he exchanged 100,000 euros in chips, he did not participate in any form of gambling, he just watched Beatrice have fun.
But I don’t know if it’s because of her “rookie’s hands”. Beatrice has never played these games before. Even for most of the games, she doesn’t know the rules and needs to be introduced by the waiter around her. It can be said that she is placing bets randomly. It all depends on my mood, but I have won a lot so far...
Of course, this does not rule out that it is some means of the casino itself. Then, when Beatrice had the illusion that she was the "child of luck" and began to increase the chips, soon, the chips in her hand were Gradually it decreased and was eventually "emptied out".
"Ah, it's gone..."
Beatrice pouted and said, looking very depressed.
"So just have fun in a place like this. Honey, let's go back to the hotel and have something to eat."
She didn't feel it when she was excited just now. After hearing Barron's words, Beatrice immediately felt hungry, so she obediently held Barron's hand and the two walked out of the casino.
It is said that many casinos are very skilled in decoration design and can keep gamblers excited. Barron is not interested in exploring this.
"Beatrice?"
Just when the two of them walked to the door of the hotel, a young man with blond hair called out Beatrice's name among the group of people coming out.
However, when the other party wanted to approach, he was immediately blocked by the bodyguards surrounding Barron.
When Beatrice saw the other party, her expression was not very good. She first looked at Barron's expression and saw that he had no special reaction, so she felt relieved:
"Honey, he is my classmate in school."
"That's it..."
At Barron's signal, his bodyguards stepped aside slightly, allowing the blond young man to walk in front of them.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Beatrice..."
It seemed that he was very happy to see Beatrice, with a smile on his face. However, when he saw Barron next to Beatrice, he asked in a wary tone:
"he is?"
oh? You don’t even know yourself?
Barron found it quite interesting. In fact, after the other party's behavior just now, Barron also remembered his identity...
He should be Pierre, the Monaco prince who later married Beatrice in Barron's previous life. Thinking that they are in Monaco now, and this Paris Hotel is also the most upscale hotel in Monaco at this time. Then, although the chance of encountering Pierre and the others is not high, it would not be too surprising.
"Hello, I'm Barron Cavendish."
"Barron Cavendish? Are you the Duke of Devonshire?!"
Judging from Pierre's surprised expression, it doesn't look like he's faking it, otherwise his acting skills would be worthy of an Oscar.
So he really couldn't recognize himself before...
This is a bit interesting.
"Beatrice, you..."
"We are friends, Pierre, and if there is nothing else, we are going to dinner."
If you are not blind, you can definitely see that the relationship between Beatrice and Barron is definitely not an ordinary "friendship".
And Beatrice's attitude towards Pierre is not polite even for a relationship that they are not familiar with.
"Since you are here in Monaco, as the host, can you give me a chance to invite you to dinner?"
"No, thank you, it's nice to meet you today, Pierre, we'll go first..."
That's what she said, but there is no "happiness" on Beatrice's face.
...
"That girl, is it the one you said you fell in love with at first sight in school?"
After Beatrice and Barron entered the hotel, several men and women who came out of the hotel with Pierre walked up to him.
One of them, a slightly older, handsome man with long hair, asked.
But seeing Pierre still looking in the direction where Beatrice left, silent, as if he had lost something...
He said meaningfully:
"But it seems that girl has no interest in you. The one next to her is the Duke of Devonshire, he is already married... Interesting."
"Enough! Andre, put away your face..."
Pierre stopped his brother from continuing, he gritted his teeth and said:
"Everything is not the final result yet."
