Rebirth of England

Since entering September, as Barron's wedding is approaching, the entire Chatsworth Manor is no longer open to the public, but various arrangements are being made to welcome the wedding of the young Duke of Devonshire.

Even the church within the manor has undergone urgent repairs - it will be an important venue for the wedding ceremony and needs to be as perfect as possible to welcome guests.

As a result, Barron's wedding was held at Chatsworth Manor, the family's traditional residence. There is probably no place more suitable than this.

Even though the preparations for his wedding were extremely low-key, all the guests were sent invitations by special personnel - decorated with gold thread, with the Devonshire family crest, in the most standard cursive script, and with gold powder. Handwritten with ink, it can be used as a collection.

Even guests who are far away from overseas, or even halfway across the world in the United States, will be personally delivered by plane.

However, the news of his wedding was still disclosed by some tabloids like The Sun.

However, these have little impact. Barron vividly explained that not only weddings on an island can be kept completely confidential. Even though he chose the wedding venue at Chatsworth Manor, no matter it is a tabloid reporter or a curious public, , it is difficult to detect the inner process and pictures.

Therefore, he mobilized a total of 1,500 troops from the Protector Security Company to surround the Chatsworth Manor and not allow anyone to enter.

Even starting a week before the wedding, two helicopters patrolled a five-kilometer radius of the manor house around the clock. This level of security eliminated any possibility of sneaking in and peeking inside.

When Her Majesty the Queen arrived at Chatsworth Manor the day before the wedding, she couldn't help complaining that there was no need for the Royal Guards to be on guard at all. The security here was even tighter than when she attended major events...

Yes, Her Majesty arrived at Chatsworth the day before the wedding, along with almost all members of the royal family.

Her Majesty the Queen stayed in the same bedroom that Queen Victoria lived in when she came to Chatsworth Manor. This can be regarded as some kind of historical inheritance.

In addition to all the members of the royal family who came to the wedding, the distinguished guests who arrived later included Jeb Bush, the younger brother of the President of the United States, who currently serves as the governor of Florida. Since it was inconvenient for the President to come, he Bringing his wife to attend the wedding on behalf of the Bush family; Joey Hastert, the speaker of the United States and the son of Dennis Hastert, the longest-serving speaker in the history of the United States, represented himself The father came to attend the wedding; there were also several members of the Kennedy family... It is worth mentioning that when the Bush family and the Kennedy family met, there was no special scene, but they all got along well.

In the Middle East, Saudi Arabia’s Mohammed Salman, the future “strongest crown prince”, as well as Prince Walid and his wife; Kuwait Crown Prince Sheikh Saad Abdullah Salim Al Sabah and Badr Mohammed Elsalad, President of Kuwait Investment Authority; Tamim, Crown Prince of Qatar and others...

On the Chinese side, Li Chaoren, his two sons, Boss Ma, Pony Ma and other entrepreneurs were also invited to Chatsworth Manor.

Others include the Duke of Westminster and his family, the Earl of Bute and his family, the Prime Minister, Finance Minister Brown, Conservative Party leader Howard, Cameron, Johnson and others...

…

The rest include the company managers under Barron, including Julia Moore, Daisy, Amber Sheehan and others.

Although the media is not allowed to enter the wedding site this time, and the guests have communicated that even if they take photos, they do not want them to be released to the public. However, there will be a professional photography team throughout the process. As a media tycoon, Barron , these are definitely the most reliable and professional teams.

The images from this process have never been made public. It was not until decades later that the live images of this wedding were seen by the public.

In addition to the heavyweight guests attending this wedding, people were surprised to find that at the Duke of Devonshire's wedding, the British politicians attending this wedding were actually coincidentally except the current British Prime Minister. There were also several subsequent British Prime Ministers, including Brown, Cameron, Johnson... A full five British Prime Ministers attended this wedding!

Although there are many people coming, Chatsworth Manor has more than 300 rooms, which are enough for these guests to take a temporary rest. However, in order to take care of these people, Grace Tourism Group specially dispatched more than 500 staff to come. To serve the guests - all of them have passed the security check and signed a strict confidentiality agreement.

Before the wedding, Barron was also here and met John Bogle, the founder of the Pilot Group, who came from the United States.

I'm so glad you could come to my wedding in person, Mr. Bogle.

Although he is 76 years old, John Bogle still seems to be in good spirits. He sat in front of Barron and said with a smile:

For an old man of my age, traveling across state lines is indeed challenging, but it is still worth it to be able to attend your wedding. In addition, Your Highness, I have also brought you a gift...

For you to come here is the best gift.

When he met John Bogle, Barron had already vaguely anticipated it.

Sure enough, he opened his mouth and said:

My gift is very valuable. I believe you will understand, Your Highness the Duke. It is 5% of the shares of the Pilot Group, and you can become a member of the board of directors of the Pilot Group...

John Bogle looked at Barron with deep meaning:

It's also a friendship... and a ticket to our family.

A very tempting gift, Mr. Bogle, but...I don't know what I need to pay for it?

Seeing that Barron's expression was still calm and his tone was a bit playful, Bolger laughed:

It's very simple, 15% of DS Capital's shares and two board seats.

Barron stood up, walked to the window, and looked at the busy decoration outside. For this wedding, they had flown in 10 tons of flowers from the Netherlands to decorate the scene.

He was silent.

In terms of the scale of assets under management, DS Capital only manages assets in the hundreds of billions of dollars, while Vanguard Group manages assets in the trillions of dollars...

It seems that if you get 5% of the Vanguard Group and a board seat in exchange for 15% of DS Capital's shares, you will not suffer a loss, and you may even get an advantage.

But aside from the fact that two board seats are a bit of a concern for Barron, he also knows the future prospects of DS Capital. It is no exaggeration to say that it is not impossible for it to surpass Vanguard Group in the future.

Because although Linghang Group manages many assets, in fact, the characteristic of Linghang Group is that its expenses are extremely low, and Linghang Group belongs to the investor - that is to say, it belongs entirely to Linghang Group's own assets. In these trillions It does not account for a large proportion of assets of this size.

DS Capital is different. A large proportion of its assets come from investors, but it owns much more assets than outsiders imagine.
