In fact, at the beginning, Barron's idea was to raise more than 2 million pounds in the family, so that he was sure that he could get more than 35 million pounds back through the capital market within half a year to save the Duke of Devin Hill family.
But the reality is that only the family, who accounts for a very small share of the funds available, directly holds part of the cash of the assets, which is only 100,000 pounds.
With these principals, it is indeed difficult to achieve your goal in the short term - even if you invest in start-ups and do venture capital work, take Internet companies such as Google and Facebook, from start-up to successfully complete the exit of venture capital a hundred times, it is often not something that can be achieved in a year and a half.
In the end, Barron had only one choice - to expand as much as possible with 100,000 pounds in his hand through World Cup bets.
In fact, it is not difficult to imagine that after all, the World Cup is about to open. In this Asahi World Cup, only England has entered the final stage.
As one of the countries that love football crazily, the recent newspaper has a lot of reports on the World Cup, so as a reborn person, it is also very normal to think of using betting to make a profit.
And the Asahi World Cup itself is very suitable for Barron's choice to bet. On the one hand, in the previous life, this World Cup was still very familiar to Chinese people. Not only was a World Cup held at home, but the opening time was very friendly to Chinese people. In addition, because this World Cup was The Chinese team is the only World Cup to enter the final stage, so it is more familiar with the results of the competition than other competitions.
And in the final analysis, this kind of World Cup bet is often unpopular to get higher odds. For well-known reasons, this World Cup is particularly unpopular. Among other things, it is enough to bet on the South Korean game - after all, normal countries often do not take advantage of the "home advantage" to such a naked extent.

The betting on football matches is very popular in England. After all, William Hill, who is famous in the sports spinach industry, is a British company.
In addition to this company, many other powerful spinach companies also have many betting stations in London, so it is very convenient to bet alone.
After arriving in London, Barron came to his apartment.
Barron's apartment in London also belongs to the family's property. After all, the Duke of Devin Hill's family is an old British aristocrat. Although the overall economic strength of the family is a little weak, the ancestors are still rich. Accordingly, it is very normal to be able to have a residence in London.
Of course, in this regard, it is far inferior to the Duke of Westminster, which is also the Duke family, which claims to have half of London.
After returning to London, Barron couldn't help but remember the girl in the hotel room when he had just arrived at this time.
At that time, he just felt that the other party was very familiar, but because he had just "come over" at that time, he was hit hard, so he didn't delve into it too much.
That day, when I saw the Crown Prince of Wales at this time at the family's funeral, I suddenly realized that the girl who had a night's friendship with her predecessor was the later Princess Caesar!
This discovery made Barron feel a little surprised. After all, although he did not know anything about the British royal family in his previous life, at that time, Cather's marriage to the prince was a sensation. When the Internet was extremely popular, he also read a lot of relevant reports.
If I remember correctly, Cather should be studying at the University of St. Andrews in Scotland at this time and has already met the prince. How could he appear in a nightclub in London and have such a "friendship" with his predecessor in drunkenness?
Since he couldn't get it through, Barron didn't think much about it. After all, if according to the development of history, after nine years, the girl would marry into the royal family and become Princess Caesar.
And this incident is an affair of his predecessor. Er, at most, he has seen the other party with his own eyes. Now the most important thing for him is to think about how to make money next.
England also has many traditions about the death of their loved ones. Although it is not as exaggerated as the three years of filial piety in ancient China, as a child, they usually will not go to parties and entertainment activities for a few months to half a year...
Of course, up to now, this constraint is getting smaller and smaller, but this time when Barron came to London, he was still very low-key. He asked Ramos to help buy the recent reports about the World Cup, and he also checked some information about the Asahi World Cup on the Internet.
Tomorrow, May 31, is the opening of the World Cup in Asahi. The opening match of the day is that France, the host of the last World Cup, will play against Senegal.
Seeing this schedule, Barron's eyes lit up, because he knew very well that in this game, the host of the last World Cup plus the final champion, France, lost the game!
So Barron immediately checked the odds of the game, which made him happy.
Because of this game, the mainstream odds, France won 1:1.2 and Senegal won 1:15!
That is to say, the French team that bought 100 pounds won and finally got 120 pounds, winning... 20 pounds.
But if Senegal wins by buying £100, you can eventually get £1,500!
From this odds, it can also be seen that most people are optimistic that the French team will win. This is not surprising. After all, the French team is the winning team of the last World Cup - although some of the strange things in the final that defeated Brazil at that time will be mentioned in many years, there is no doubt about the strength of the French team.
Most of the French team participating in the Asahi World Cup this time are players from the last World Cup. Even if it is likely to be tomorrow's game, Zidane, the soul of the French team, may not be able to play, but Senegal? Speaking of this country, I'm afraid that there are not many people who know that it is located in West Africa. In terms of popularity, it is better to be like the French team.
Therefore, this World Cup is really amazing. The opening match is a big blow, which also indicates that this World Cup is unusual.
After confirming the matter, Barron became excited.
He now has 100,000 pounds in his hand, and now he has an impulse to bet all the 100,000 pounds on the victory of Senegal in tomorrow's opening battle.
However, taking a deep breath, he tried his best to resist the impulse.
After all, although he was very impressed by the game in his previous life, he could even remember that when he was in high school, he and his two buddies in the dormitory climbed over the wall to watch the game...
But after all, although so far, it seems that the time and space he knows is not any different from his previous life - but his predecessor alone has something with the later Princess Cather, which makes him a little vigilant, what if?
So in the end, he decided that he could not play All in the game. Let's verify first whether the result of the game will be the same as in his memory.
