Chapter 619: Encounter in Monaco
Chapter 619: Encounter in Monaco
Barron did not continue to wait in Paris for the final negotiation results with the Lagardère Group, but went to Monaco with Beatrice.
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 territory is surrounded by France on three sides and borders the Mediterranean Sea to the south. For this reason, Monaco has a close relationship with France. It was originally a principality of France and later became independent.
And Monaco has also been participating in the French Ligue 1.
Monaco is a very small country. 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 one-fourth of the Tiantongyuan community in Yanjing...
However, despite its small land area, Monaco can be regarded as the country with the highest density of wealthy people in the world, thanks to Monaco's very successful gambling, tourism and banking industries...
As for why the wealthy are willing to immigrate to Monaco, it is also because they implement a "zero tax" policy, coupled with their excellent geographical location, which attracts the wealthy.
Barron finally had the chance to accompany Beatrice, so he took the opportunity to bring her to Monaco for a vacation.
As we all know, some of the most famous gambling cities in the world include Macau, Las Vegas and Monaco.
In 1856, in order to solve the financial crisis, Prince Charles III of Monaco opened the first casino on the cape north of the old city. Since then, Monaco has gradually become one of the richest countries in Europe.
Today, Monaco has a well-developed gambling industry, the most famous of which is the "Casino degli Sturm". This Mediterranean-style building cost $5 million and is known as the most beautiful casino in the world.
This time, Barron, Beatrice and their group stayed at the Grand Paris Hotel near the casino.
"Wow, we won, honey."
The Russian roulette ball stopped, and Beatrice saw the result. She shouted happily to Barron and gave him a kiss.
As the saying goes, small gambling is enjoyable, but big gambling is harmful to the body. For Barron, there is no need to seek excitement through these casinos. The excitement of participating in the financial market and other larger fields far exceeds these.
This time he brought Beatrice here just for entertainment, and after he exchanged 10 euros in chips, he did not participate in any form of gambling himself, but just watched Beatrice have fun.
But maybe it was because she was a newbie, Beatrice had never played these games before. She didn’t even know the rules of most of the games, and needed the waiter to explain them to her. She placed bets randomly, depending on her mood, but she still won a lot...
Of course, this does not rule out some tricks of the casino itself. Then, when Beatrice had the illusion that she was the "child of luck" and began to increase her chips, soon the chips in her hand gradually decreased and were eventually "cleared".
"Ah, it's gone..."
Beatrice said with a pout, looking very depressed.
"So places like this are just for fun, baby, let's go back to the hotel and have something to eat."
She didn't feel it when she was excited just now, but after hearing Barron's words, Beatrice immediately felt hungry. So she obediently took Barron's hand and they walked out of the casino.
It is said that many casinos have great ideas in their decoration design to keep gamblers excited all the time, but Barron is not interested in exploring this.
"Beatrice?"
Just as the two of them walked to the entrance of the hotel, a blond young man among the group of people coming towards them called out Beatrice's name.
However, when the other party wanted to get closer, he was immediately blocked by the bodyguards surrounding Barron.
When Beatrice saw him, her face was not very good. She first looked at Barron's expression, and when she saw that he didn't have any special reaction, she was slightly relieved:
"Honey, he's my classmate at school."
"Is that so..." At Barron's signal, his bodyguards moved aside slightly to allow the blond young man to walk in front of them.
"I didn't expect to meet you here, Beatrice..."
He seemed very happy to see Beatrice, and a smile appeared on his face. However, when he saw Barron beside Beatrice, he asked with a vigilant tone:
"he is?"
Oh? You don't recognize me?
Barron found it quite interesting. In fact, after the other party's performance just now, Barron also remembered his identity...
He should be the Prince of Monaco, Pierre, who married Beatrice in Barron's previous life. Considering that they are in Monaco now and this Grand Paris Hotel is also the most upscale hotel in Monaco at this time, it would not be surprising to meet Pierre and his friends, although the chance is not high.
"Hello, my name is Barron Cavendish."
"Barron Cavendish? Are you the Duke of Devonshire?!"
Looking at Pierre's surprised expression, it doesn't seem fake, 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 guys..."
"We are friends, Pierre, and if nothing else, we are going to dinner."
If one is not blind, one can definitely see that the relationship between Beatrice and Barron is definitely not an ordinary "friend" relationship.
Beatrice's attitude towards Pierre was not polite, even though they were not familiar with each other.
"Since you are here in Monaco, as the host, could you give me a chance to invite you to dinner?"
"No, thank you. It's nice to meet you today, Pierre. We'll be leaving first..."
That being said, there was no sign of happiness on Beatrice's face.
……
"That girl, the one you said you fell in love with at first sight at school?"
After Beatrice, Barron and their group entered the hotel, several men and women who had come out of the hotel with Pierre earlier came up to him.
One of the older men, who had long hair and could be considered handsome, asked.
But seeing Pierre still looking in the direction where Beatrice left, he remained silent, as if he had lost something...
He said meaningfully:
"But it seems that girl has no interest in you. The man next to her is the Duke of Devonshire, right? He is already married... Interesting."
"That's enough! Andre, put away your face..."
Pierre stopped his brother from continuing and said through gritted teeth:
“Nothing is final yet.”
