As soon as he finished speaking, another male reporter immediately asked questions.
"Hello Sean, I'm a reporter from Le Figaro"
"If you didn't come here for Napoleon's treasure, then why did you bring so many people to Paris? Can you tell me your true purpose?"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately looked at the male reporter.
Pretending to think about it, he smiled and said:
"Let's put it this way, in my eyes, Paris itself is a huge treasure with infinite possibilities."
“For hundreds of years before World War II, Paris had been the cultural and artistic center of the entire Western world.”
“Countless art schools, countless art masters, and countless valuable works of art were born here.”
“I believe that there must be many unknown top-level works of art hidden among the Paris folk and the Paris antique art market.”
"Needless to say, one of the reasons why I came to Paris is to see these unknown top-notch works of art. This is a huge treasure!"
"hiss!"
All the media reporters at the scene took a deep breath and were secretly terrified.
Without exception, each of them had a very bad feeling.
In the next period of time, the Paris antique art market may be facing a catastrophe!
The same scene has happened before in New York, Boston, Tokyo, Japan and other places.
Now it's Paris' turn. The results Paris may face may not be much better than those cities, or even worse!
After answering a few more questions, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others into the car and left the five-star hotel.
Those media reporters and informants from various parties would not let him go and followed him in their cars.
Unlike just now, no one intercepted them this time.
After the motorcade left the hotel, it immediately drove towards the Luxembourg Gardens, located at the junction of the 6th and 7th arrondissements.
Pierre's house is on a street over there, in a very good location.
That area is one of the nicest neighborhoods on the entire Left Bank and has the most expensive real estate prices.
As the motorcade drove out, Elaine was also introducing the relevant situation.
"My grandfather's grandfather bought our house in the early 20th century. Our family has lived here for more than a hundred years."
"When I first bought it, it was an entire apartment building. Later, many of them were sold off, and now only the apartment where Pierre lives is left."
"For him, the area of this apartment is completely sufficient and more than enough. Even if we move there, the room will be enough."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran joked and said:
"I didn't see it! Your family used to be a wealthy and famous family in France, but it's a pity that it declined later!"
"But it doesn't matter. Now that we are in Paris, we can get back everything we lost."
Elaine turned to look at him, then smiled and shook her head.
"How can our family be called a wealthy family? It was just a publisher at first, but it declined during World War II!"
"But that Renaissance-style building is really nice. It has a history of more than 200 years. I like it very much."
"If we want to invest in real estate in Paris, we can indeed consider buying that apartment building. It is a very good investment."
Without any hesitation, Xiao Ran nodded immediately.
"Since you like it, then buy it. You can't go wrong with the property next to the Luxembourg Gardens!"
"After we buy that apartment building, we can just leave it to Pierre to take care of it, of course, if he is willing."
Next, they chatted and admired the scenery outside.
When the motorcade passed the Musee d'Orsay, Xiao Ran secretly activated his clairvoyance ability and quickly took a look at the situation inside the Musee d'Orsay.
In this palace of modern Western art, he saw many famous and top-notch works of art.
For example, there are masterpieces by top Western art masters such as Monet, Picasso, Van Gogh, Cézanne, and Millet.
In addition, he also discovered some unknown secrets, but he could only keep them to himself.
In the blink of an eye, the convoy had arrived at Avenue Saint-Michel, which was not far away.
This is a street as famous as Avenue Saint-Germain. They are the two most important streets in the Latin Quarter of Paris.
Like Avenue Saint-Germain, this avenue is also very prosperous and the scenery is quite beautiful.
Both sides of the street are lined with exquisite buildings that are hundreds of years old, covering all modern Western art styles before the 20th century.
There are Renaissance styles, Baroque styles, neoclassical styles, and Rococo styles, etc., all of which are dazzling.
These historical buildings are well preserved and full of life.
Inside these historical buildings, there are many exquisite clothing stores, cafes, bookstores, antique shops, and various other shops.
The streets are quite prosperous and the market environment looks very good.
Security seems to be okay too, or so it seems.
While the motorcade was traveling, Xiao Ran kept admiring the historical buildings on the street with great interest.
From time to time, he would look through some of the historic buildings to see if he could discover anything.
Along the way, he really made some discoveries.
However, these discoveries were not a big surprise, nor were they worthy of his taking action.
While he was talking, his eyes penetrated into a historical building located on the street.
The next moment, he suddenly paused.
At this moment, the convoy happened to encounter a traffic jam in front, and its driving speed dropped a lot.
Taking this opportunity, he took a few more glances at the building on the street.
Then he pointed at the building and asked pretending to be curious:
"Honey, there is a notice for sale on this baroque historical building on the roadside. It seems that it has not been sold yet."
“Although this Baroque-style building is a bit old, it looks of good quality and is in a good location.”
"We can come over and take a look at this Baroque building later. If the price is right, we might be able to buy it."
Elaine turned her head and looked at the historical building on the street, but shook her head slightly.
"Dear, this Baroque style building has been posted for sale for several years, but it has never been sold."
"Parisians have some taboos about this historical building. Those who know its history are generally not willing to live in this apartment building."
"The facade of this apartment building looks pretty good, but most of the apartments inside are empty and there are only a few people living there."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran couldn't help but be a little surprised.
"Ah! Why is this happening? The location of this apartment building is very good!"
"It's convenient to live here and there are all kinds of commercial facilities downstairs. Why don't people like this apartment building?"
The next moment, Elaine gave the answer.
"The reason is simple. During the French Revolution, Robespierre, the leader of the Jacobins, lived in this building."
"During the French Revolution, Robespierre killed countless people in the name of the people, and many orders were issued from here."
"The French handed themselves over to Robespierre, made themselves an excuse for Robespierre, and gave Robespierre great power."
"This has created unprecedented terror. The French people do not want to remember this period of history, and not many people are willing to live in this apartment building."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly realized.
"Wow, I see, it's because of Robespierre!"
While feeling emotional, a hint of joy flashed in his eyes.
If it weren't for Robespierre, how could there be such a surprise!
