"Hello, Miss Stuart, I often watch your show. You look more elegant and beautiful in person."
It can be seen that Holly is a very sociable girl. She quickly took Bonnie's hand and the two of them had a very pleasant chat.
In fact, Virgin Group can be considered a competitor of Barron's - of course, the reason is simply because Virgin Group is involved in so many industries, including Virgin Telecom and Virgin Media, both of which compete with Barron's business.
Of course, this kind of competition is normal and will not affect the personal relationship between each other at all.
During the conversation, the topic came up with the just-released rich list. It can be seen that Prince William was very surprised that Barron was able to rank among the top, and there was a hint of envy in his expression.
Prince William and his younger brother Harry are also on the list of rich people under the age of 30, but their positions are slightly behind.
In general, the wealth of young British billionaires under the age of 30 is much inferior to that of the overall rich list. As the top of the list, Barron can be said to have "struck a dimensionality reduction attack". His wealth is more than the sum of the nine behind the previous ten.
"What are you talking about, ladies?"
After Barron greeted the other guests, he saw Bonnie and Holly Branson still chatting, so he walked over and asked.
"This is a secret between women, Your Highness..."
Holly deliberately winked at Barron and said with a smile:
"Actually, I was talking to Bonnie about a party in a few days, and I wanted to invite you to join us."
Although Holly is not as stunning as Bonnie in terms of appearance, she has a unique affinity and can always easily establish a friendly atmosphere with others.
"Oh? What party?"
Seeing Barron's gaze turned towards her, Bonnie explained softly,
"Ms. Branson just said that she hopes to invite us to her birthday party."
As the princess of the Virgin Group, Holly's birthday party will naturally be very grand. No wonder she wants to take this opportunity to invite Barron and Bonnie.
It can be imagined that those who can attend her birthday party must be young people who are either rich or noble.
Although Barron didn't particularly care, it seemed that Bonnie was somewhat interested, so he said to Holly:
"It's an honor to receive your invitation, Miss Branson."
…
On April 12, Barron appeared in the VIP box of Old Trafford Stadium with his girlfriend Bonnie.
Today, Manchester United will face Newcastle United at home.
This was also the 33rd round of the 2002-2003 Premier League season. Before the game started, when the broadcast camera switched to the VIP box where Barron was, and his handsome face appeared on the screen, many viewers exclaimed.
After all, it is no longer a secret that the young duke wants to acquire Manchester United. DS Capital had previously taken the initiative to make an acquisition proposal to Manchester United, but it was rejected by the major shareholder at the time.
Now, he appeared at Old Trafford to watch Manchester United's game, and the meaning of this is quite thought-provoking.
When Barron noticed that the camera was pointed at him, an elegant smile appeared on his face, and he took the initiative to wave and say hello.
It can be said that the majority of fans have very different attitudes towards Barron, the Duke of Devonshire,'s plan to acquire Manchester United.
Some fans hope that this powerful duke can become the owner of Manchester United, which may help the club gain greater support.
But what is a bit embarrassing is that most fans are neutral or even indifferent about this.
Also because as one of the few top football clubs that has not yet been controlled by wealthy consortiums, Manchester United fans still hope that the club can maintain a certain degree of independence.
Manchester United Football Club was founded in 1878. At the beginning, the team's name was Newton Heath LYR. LYR is the abbreviation of Lancashire and Yorkshire Railway Company, and Newton Heath is the name of a railway construction site. Therefore, this team has a certain working-class background.
As Manchester United fans, many people agree with this, so they naturally don't like Barron, the "noble lord".
It can only be said that buying Manchester United before the Glazers would make the process smoother and prevent the team from being ravaged by American vampires earlier...
But it is precisely because the fans have not experienced the torture of the Glazer family's various "stupid operations" and do not understand that Barron's acquisition of Manchester United is actually a blessing for the club.
So even though Barron could vaguely hear whistles coming from the Red Devils fans in the stands, he pretended not to hear them and still looked at the court with a relaxed expression.
As the game whistle sounded, the fans had no time to think about the young duke and all their attention was focused on the game on the field.
In this game, Manchester United's performance was still very good, especially Manchester United's striker Van Nistelrooy, who was charging towards this season's league top scorer with one goal after another - this season, the top scorer was destined to be between Manchester United's Van Nistelrooy and Arsenal's Henry.
In the end, Manchester United defeated Newcastle United with a score of 6:2. The victory in this game also allowed Manchester United to surpass Arsenal for the first time this season and become the top of the Premier League.
It can be said that Manchester United's "comeback" this season is impressive.
In this season's Premier League title race, Arsenal once led Manchester United by as many as 8 points in the standings - almost everyone believed that the championship would eventually belong to Arsenal led by Wenger.
But the stubborn Ferguson didn't think so, and facts once again proved that Ferguson was right.
The long Premier League is like a marathon, not a sprint that can decide the champion.
Arsenal had an excellent start in the league, even extending their unbeaten streak to 30 games across the season. Wenger was extremely proud of the perfect performance and claimed:
"We are getting closer and closer to a perfect record of an undefeated season."
In the 10th round of the Premier League, Arsenal faced the strong team Everton away - this away trip made Arsenal finally taste the taste of losing.
In this game, Everton's talented player Rooney scored in the last minute to defeat the arrogant Arsenal 2:1. At that time, Rooney was only 16 years old and became the youngest scorer in the Premier League at that time. It was this goal that made Ferguson remember this young man and laid the groundwork for Rooney's career as a Red Devils.
After being frustrated by Everton, Arsenal lost 1:2 to Blackburn at home, but then beat Fulham 2:1 away, Newcastle 1:0 at home, and Tottenham 3:0 at home, achieving three consecutive wins while continuing to lead Manchester United.
But at Old Trafford, Arsenal was beaten 0-2 by Manchester United away from home.
Manchester United also took the opportunity to narrow the gap between the two sides to 8 points. At this time, all media were still optimistic about Arsenal, believing that they would eventually win the Premier League championship.
After Manchester United suffered a 1:3 defeat to Middlesbrough away in the 20th round, Manchester United's anger was completely aroused, Manchester United's state was completely broken out, and they never lost any game in the league since then.
With Manchester United sweeping Liverpool 4-0 at home, the points miraculously caught up with Arsenal.
In this game, Manchester United defeated Newcastle United 6-2 at home, surpassing Arsenal in the rankings for the first time this season, and will maintain this leading situation until the last round, eventually winning the Premier League championship this season.
However, after watching the game, Barron left Old Trafford and did not meet with other people from the Manchester United club.
Because he knew that if his offer at this time could not impress the major shareholders of Manchester United Club, then even if he contacted club personnel including coach Ferguson now, it would be of no avail and he would need to continue waiting for the opportunity.
