Chapter 8 Frustration
"I don't want this either, Butler Sean, but there is no other way, right? As the heir of the family, you need to shoulder your own responsibilities, that is, you must try your best to preserve our family's assets..."
Barron looked directly into Butler Sean's eyes and said sincerely:
"If there is still a way, then I don't want to take the risk, but it is too difficult. Under the current situation, if you want to get the best results, you need to take certain risks. But I can do it to you Promise, Butler Sean, I won’t risk too much money, this hundred thousand pounds plus some from the family fund should be enough.”
After all, Butler Sean has deep feelings for his family and does not want the family to fall apart; but at the same time, he also has little confidence in Barron's risky behavior.
But as Barron said, it is difficult to have other options now - selling part of the property is one of the methods, but in the face of the previous huge losses, if you really have to do this, I am afraid that even Chatz It’s hard to stay at Worth Manor!
So at this moment, he could only choose to believe Barron and secretly pray to God to bless the Cavendish family.
"Master Barron, I will do my best to reduce the expenditure of the manor. Over the long years, Chatsworth Manor has had many critical moments, but we have finally resolved them. I hope it will be the same this time."
"I will definitely do it, Butler Sean..."
Barron did not hide the firmness in his eyes and turned to the butler:
"By the way, I didn't know much about the family trust fund before. Regarding the fund manager, Ms. Moore, Butler Sean, can you tell me more about her?"
…
If Barron is planning to use part of his funds to make more radical investments, butler Sean is just worried about this...
Then in the case of Ms. Julia Moore, the manager of the family trust fund, his proposal was decisively rejected.
"Lord Barron, I have to say it bluntly, if you are preparing to raise funds to pay inheritance taxes; or if you are selling part of the family assets to make up for losses and pay for bank loans, then I will definitely cooperate with you, but if you want to take these Make risky investments with your money, sorry, I can’t do that!”
When Julia Moore came to face Barron again in the master's study at Chatsworth Manor and learned what he thought, she said this without hesitation.
"Oh? Are you sure? Ms. Moore, then I would like to know, as the manager of the family fund, how did you react to my father's investment in the 'London Star'?"
Hearing Barron mention this matter, Yulia's expression instantly turned cold:
"Do you think I am responsible for this investment, Lord Barron?"
"It doesn't make much sense to talk about responsibility now, but I think as the manager of a family fund, all you need to do is use your professional knowledge to help us manage the family industry, rather than make decisions about it. I know It was my father's opinion to invest in the 'London Star', so you can't say that you were cooperating with his investment intention at the time, but you rejected my investment opinion so arbitrarily!"
Regarding Barron's words, Yulia shook her head:
"Your Excellency, I still regret that although I raised objections to your father's investment opinions, I did not finally stick to my position; so now, I cannot make the same mistake again... In addition, in fact, although You are the only heir to the Duke of Devonshire family, but now procedurally, you have not inherited the family title and industry..."
"So you mean you won't obey my orders now? Even if I am the only heir of the family?"
Barron stood up from his seat and walked to Yulia, still with a smile on his face, and said lightly:
"It seems that Ms. Moore, you really don't have much confidence in me, or you have no confidence at all."
"I just said, Your Excellency, if you want to pay inheritance tax for inheriting the title and family assets, or to stop the family's losses, then I will fully cooperate with you, but if it is such a risky investment …”
Yulia was not weak at all in terms of momentum, and she did not escape Barron's look:
"Then I won't agree. Maybe you are right. I respect your status as heir, but as the manager of the family trust fund, I can't take risks. Even in the future, you will expel me from this position." Walk!"
Obviously, this meeting between the two did not produce a result that satisfied Barron. It can be said that they broke up in the end on bad terms.
But it is true that as Yulia said, even though Barron is the sole heir of the Cavendish family, in the final analysis, he has not yet completed the procedures for inheriting the family title and industry. Therefore, as the manager of the family trust fund, she You can choose to take risks and cooperate with Barron's investment, or you can refuse the other party's request. Currently, Barron has no way to do this.
It can still be seen from her appearance that Yulia's appearance is still different from that of traditional British people. The reason is that she contains most of the Slavic ancestry.
In the previous conversation with Sean butler, Barron also learned more about Julia Moore.
Yulia Moore's full name should be Yulia Shakhovskoy Moore. Her mother's family came from Russia. After the October Revolution, they fled from Tsarist Russia to Europe, and finally came to England.
It can be said that most of the Tsarist Russian nobles who were in exile at that time were not doing well - on the one hand, they left Tsarist Russia too hastily, and they also encountered many setbacks along the way, including deception and plunder, so they were really able to retain their There are very few exiled nobles who own a certain amount of property.
Although Yulia's mother's generation has integrated into British society, the family's life can only be described as middle-class.
Her mother was married to a lawyer who was closely related to the Cavendish family. Therefore, after Yulia's father died in an accident, Yulia's family received help from the Cavendish family. It can be said that Yulia was able to complete her studies largely due to the support from the Cavendish family.
It was also because of this relationship that the family originally chose Julia Moore, who graduated from a prestigious school, as the manager of the family trust fund - this trust originated from this.
But now it seems that Yulia's trust in Barron is quite lacking.
The idea of obtaining funds from family funds for investment was basically rejected.
The funds currently available to Barron are only £100,000 from assets directly held by the family.
Unless he can pay the inheritance tax as soon as possible and complete the inheritance procedures for the family title and industry, it seems that it will be difficult to get more support from Yulia.
