Following Zhang Daqian's freehand painting with splashes of color, Xiao Ran opened it and looked at several other paintings.
These paintings are all Chinese ink landscapes and are of good quality.
Although they are not as good as Zhang Daqian's freehand paintings with splashes of color, they are still good works of art, worth collecting and have a certain market value.
After admiring these paintings, Xiao Ran asked Liangzi to leave the suite.
Next, this guy will continue to play the role of the rich second generation who is stupid and rich, and will come forward to buy the real estate of the Lu Qinzhai family, including the Paris Red Mansion and those country villas.
In order to prevent problems with his identity and being seen as suspicious.
Xiao Ran had contacted Ma Ming before and asked Ma Ming to help this guy create an identity in China and create a rich second-generation background that was not short of money.
For Ma Ming, this kind of thing is easy and can be done with just a few phone calls.
In this way, even if someone doubts Ryoko's identity, no problem can be found.
After Liangzi left, Xiao Ran made another video call to Pierre to take a look at the Ming Dynasty furniture.
The call was connected in a blink of an eye, and Pierre appeared on the phone screen.
After greeting each other, Pierre immediately asked curiously:
"Sean, what's going on with these pieces of antique furniture you asked for?"
"These pieces of antique furniture look great. They are beautiful in shape, elegant and rounded. They are natural and pleasing to the eye."
"I just studied these pieces of antique furniture and tried to sit on them. They feel very comfortable. I like these pieces of antique furniture very much."
As he spoke, he held up his mobile phone and took some close-up shots of the antique furniture.
What then appeared on the phone screen was a Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchair, two Ming Dynasty red sandalwood four-year-old official hat chairs, a Ming Dynasty red sandalwood painting case, and a mid-Qing mahogany cabinet and several other pieces of furniture.
Listening to Pierre's words, Xiao Ran and Elaine both laughed.
Then, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Yes, Pierre, these pieces of Chinese furniture are indeed antiques, and they are probably the most outstanding representative works of ancient Chinese furniture. The antique furniture of the Ming Dynasty uses very good materials."
"I asked my employees to purchase these pieces of antique furniture. Because they are large and eye-catching, they were shipped to you and temporarily stored at your place."
Before he finished speaking, Pierre was already excitedly exclaiming.
"It turns out that this is the famous Ming Dynasty furniture. It is indeed very exquisite. Every piece of furniture is a work of art."
"Especially the connection mechanism of these pieces of furniture. It's really amazing. I studied it for a long time, but I still can't figure out how they are assembled. After hundreds of years, there is no gap left and they still fit together perfectly."
Xiao Ran smiled and then explained a few words.
"That is the mortise and tenon structure, which is the top technology and the most valuable part of ancient Chinese furniture."
Next, he carefully appreciated the antique furniture through the video and discussed it with Pierre.
These valuable antique furniture will be stored in Pierre's home for the time being.
After Xiao Ran buys the Red House and other buildings in Paris, he will take back these antique furniture and send them back to China.
Xu Wei's paintings hidden in that mid-Qing mahogany cabinet could only be taken out at that time.
After discussing for a while, Xiao Ran ended the call.
As we spoke, it was already around eight o'clock in the evening.
After dinner, Xiao Ran called David over and discussed the next step together in the study.
After sitting down in the study and chatting for a few words, Xiao Ran got to the point.
"David, we can launch a full-scale acquisition operation tomorrow. Get those French lawyers ready."
"We will first acquire the apartment building where Pierre's family is located, as well as the Baroque-style apartment building on Avenue Saint-Michel."
"The guys who came to buy these two apartment buildings are the guys in Luxembourg. They can arrive in Paris tomorrow."
Upon hearing this, David nodded immediately.
"No problem, Sean, those French lawyers are ready and have signed a confidentiality agreement."
"In fact, they don't know that you are the manipulator behind this series of real estate acquisitions. There is no need to worry about leaks."
Xiao Ran nodded and then continued:
"This acquisition must be kept strictly confidential to avoid complications. The French are watching me too closely now!"
"After these two apartment buildings are completed, I will arrange for Liangzi and others to come forward to acquire all the real estate of the Lu Qinzhai family."
“Starting with a few country villas, including two holiday villas in Cannes, I wouldn’t let anything go.”
"Next, there are two other buildings located near the Red Building, and finally the Red Building. These properties must be taken down."
"The Red Building is a historical and cultural heritage of Paris. If you want to buy this building, you must obtain permission from the Paris City Hall and the French Ministry of Culture."
"Because of this, I put Red Mansion at the end for the acquisition. By then, I believe that I have enough chips in hand, and the French can only nod and agree, and have no choice!"
Listening to his arrangements, David nodded excitedly.
"No problem, Sean, I will prepare the relevant contracts to ensure that there will be no legal loopholes."
Next, the two of them continued to discuss the details of the operation to ensure that the operation was seamless.
After the discussion, Xiao Ran immediately called several of his subordinates in Luxembourg and asked them to come to Paris early tomorrow morning.
When these guys arrive in Paris, a series of acquisitions will officially begin.
As for Xiao Ran, he is preparing to continue sweeping the antique art market in Paris and perform in front of the public to attract everyone's attention.
After the discussion, Xiao Ran called the leaders of the first and second exploration groups over to find out what the two exploration groups were doing today.
Unfortunately, Matthew and the others did not bring any surprises.
Today they still conduct performative explorations in the Fontainebleau Forest and Montmartre, but they find nothing.
However, these guys had a great time, just like traveling on vacation, and it was not without gain.
In the blink of an eye, it's a new day.
nine in the morning.
The first and second exploration groups set off as usual, heading to Fontainebleau Forest and Montmartre respectively to continue performing in front of the public.
Not long after they left, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others out of the elevator, preparing to leave the hotel and go out to sweep the Paris antique art market.
Seeing them coming out, the media reporters gathered at the entrance of the hotel immediately rushed to ask questions.
When these guys asked, what were Xiao Ran's plans for today.
He immediately gave the answer with a smile and went to visit the Saint-Ouan Antique Market.
Upon hearing this answer, many media reporters were stunned. Everyone had a feeling that something was wrong.
Before they could react, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others into the car and closed the door.
The motorcade then started with a bang, drove away from the hotel, and headed straight for the Saint-Ouan Antique Art Market.
Only then did the media reporters react.
Immediately afterwards, there was a worried sigh.
"It's over! The misfortune of the Saint-Ouan Antique Market is not over yet. Sean, a greedy bastard, has made it clear that he will completely rob the Saint-Ouan Antique Market!"
"Who says it isn't? Look, the Saint-Ouan antique market will suffer another catastrophe today, and other antique markets in Paris will also be doomed."
Having said that, these media reporters ran to their respective interview cars and drove after them.
These guys knew that wherever Xiao Ran went, there would be explosive news.
More than half an hour later, Xiao Ran's motorcade had successfully arrived at the Santouan Antique Market.
Just when Xiao Ran and the others got out of the car and walked into the Saint-Ouan Antique Market with countless paying attention.
A real estate acquisition team from Luxembourg happened to drive into the Sixth District of Paris.
