The call came from Hergot, director of the Museum of Modern Art in Paris.
After answering the phone and saying hello, this old friend immediately said impatiently:
"Sean, I would like to ask, is the news that Napoleon's treasure is hidden in Montmartre or the Fontainebleau forest accurate?"
"You are really here for the legendary Napoleon's treasure when you come to Paris this time? Can you introduce the situation?"
"This news has caused a huge sensation. Everyone is discussing it. Many people have taken action to search for Napoleon's treasure in the Fontainebleau Forest and Montmartre."
Listening to these words, Xiao Ran couldn't help but flash a narrow smile in his eyes.
But he did not respond immediately, but pretended to think for a moment, and then said with a smile:
"Hergot, what is the purpose of bringing people to Paris this time? I can't reveal it now because it involves business secrets."
"I have also heard the news about Napoleon's treasure, but I don't know how or who spread the news."
"To be honest, I really want to join the treasure hunting team and explore the legendary Napoleon's treasure, but it's a pity that we are trapped in the hotel now"
"We have to be quarantined in the hotel for seven days before we can leave the hotel. By then, Napoleon's treasure may have been discovered."
"That would be a pity. I heard that Napoleon's treasure contains paintings by Leonardo da Vinci, sculptures by Michelangelo, etc."
Hearing his explanation, Helgot fell silent.
After a while, this guy said:
"I've also heard about the fact that you were asked to stay in the hotel for seven days of quarantine. I must say, those guys in Carlin are such an embarrassment to the French Antique Shop!"
"Based on what I know about you, you will definitely respond. No matter what happens next, we have nothing to say."
"Let's talk about Napoleon's treasure. When your quarantine is over, if no one has found Napoleon's treasure, I believe you will take action."
"By then, I hope we will have opportunities to cooperate, and our museum would like to acquire some top-notch artworks from Napoleon's treasures."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran chuckled again.
"Helgot, we are still in quarantine and it is too early to talk about these issues."
"When we end the isolation and can move freely, we can talk about whether to cooperate or not."
After the words fell, Hergot said helplessly:
"Okay, Sean, that's all I can do. I'm too impatient, and this news shocked me too much!"
"I knew that I couldn't get any valuable information out of the mouth of a cunning guy like you."
"Hahaha, that is the legendary Napoleon treasure! Anyone who knows the relevant information will keep silent!"
Xiao Ran said with a smile.
Following his words, Helgot's doubts became even greater.
This guy was even sure that Xiao Ran must know some information about Napoleon's treasure, or he was here for Napoleon's treasure.
Next, Xiao Ran chatted with this guy for a while before hanging up the phone.
Following Hergot, her father-in-law Pierre also called to ask about Napoleon's treasure.
In order to prevent leaks and to allow this wonderful drama to continue, Xiao Ran could only hide the truth.
He did not tell Pierre that the news about Napoleon's treasure was actually a smoke bomb released by himself.
As with Hergot, he gave an ambiguous answer and let Pierre guess.
Seeing his answer, Pierre stopped asking any more questions.
After him, the two curators of the Louvre and the Musée d'Orsay also called to inquire about the situation and discussed the possibility of cooperating with Xiao Ran to explore Napoleon's treasure.
The Louvre, in particular, was particularly positive.
The managers of the Louvre knew better than anyone how many antiques, cultural relics and works of art Napoleon had looted from various European and North African countries.
the reason is simple.
Many antique artifacts and works of art displayed in the Louvre are Napoleon's trophies.
After Napoleon was defeated and fell, the French tried every means to keep these precious trophies in France and in the Louvre.
The collection of the Louvre is only part of the antiques and works of art plundered by Napoleon.
The rest of the precious antiques, cultural relics and works of art were hidden by Napoleon and are the legendary Napoleon's treasures.
Precisely because he knew how amazing Napoleon's treasure was, the curator of the Louvre couldn't wait to propose that he cooperate with Xiao Ran to explore Napoleon's treasure together.
Xiao Ran did not give a definite answer. He only said that if he really had clues to Napoleon's treasure, he might consider cooperating with the Louvre to explore this shocking treasure.
In the following time, many friends called one after another to ask about Napoleon's treasure.
Some of them even raised the issue directly.
He wants to cooperate with Xiao Ran and is willing to trade with him for the top antiques and art from Napoleon's treasure.
Among these guys are Thomas from the Metropolitan Museum of Art and old friends such as Joshua.
During this period, Carlin and Francois also called, trying to ask about Napoleon's treasure.
Xiao Ran didn't answer the calls from these two guys at all and ignored them.
Helpless, these two guys could only call David and ask insinuatingly.
But where could they find anything from David?
David is a senior lawyer and has a stricter mouth than anyone else!
Amidst the busy schedule, it’s evening.
After nightfall, Montmartre and Fontainebleau Forest finally calmed down a bit.
Those who were looking for Napoleon's treasure in these two places all found a place to rest and prepare to fight again tomorrow.
At the end of the day, the vast majority of people have gained nothing, and their hard work has been in vain.
But there were some guys with metal detectors who actually found something.
These things are just trinkets, not worth much, and have nothing to do with the legendary Napoleon treasure.
However, the discovery of these things has given many people hope and renewed confidence.
The Fontainebleau forest and the Montmartre heights were quiet, but the major French TV stations were as lively as a boiling pot.
All the talk shows on several major French television channels were discussing Napoleon's treasure.
And many experts and scholars were invited to analyze this legendary treasure.
These French experts and scholars spoke so eloquently on TV that their saliva flew everywhere.
Xiao Ran and the others, who were sitting on the sofa in the presidential suite, watched with great interest.
Needless to say, they also learned some knowledge through the discussion and analysis of those experts and scholars.
The knowledge and understanding of Napoleon's treasures has also become deeper.
In the blink of an eye, it was already around 8:30 pm.
Xiao Ran and the others sat in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass windows, laughing and chatting while admiring the beautiful night view on the Seine River.
At this moment, Matthew and David suddenly knocked on the door and walked in.
The first time after entering the door, Matthew said excitedly:
"Sean, we got some information. Lu Qinzhai's descendants are willing to sell some of their properties."
"Including the famous Red House in Paris, as well as some properties and land in Paris, Cannes, and Switzerland."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be stunned for a moment.
Then, he shook his head disdainfully.
"I really don't feel sorry for you! Lu Qinzhai probably didn't expect it!"
"I have worked hard all my life and sold my country and nation to get such a great career, but it was so quickly ruined by my descendants!"
"The law of heaven is clear, retribution will not be happy!"
