The next day, Xiao Ran and the others did not go to the antique art market in Paris, but went to visit the Louvre Museum, which was just a stone's throw away.
They stayed in the Louvre for a whole day, visiting and admiring the many antiques and works of art displayed here.
Even for lunch, they ate in the Louvre Museum and did not go back to the hotel on the other side of the river.
During the visit, Xiao Ran discovered some unknown secrets while admiring many famous antiques and artworks.
Some of them are secrets hidden in various antiques and artefacts.
For example, there are several sets of mysterious numbers and strange patterns hidden in the "Mona Lisa", the secrets hidden behind the Code of Hammurabi, etc.
There are also some secrets of the Louvre itself.
For example, some unknown secret compartments and secret passages, hidden antique artworks, etc.
Although he could see these secrets through perspective, Xiao Ran could only take a look. He could only keep some of them in mind for later study.
The antique artworks that hide these secrets, as well as some of the secrets of the Louvre itself, he cannot possess.
Unless one day France completely goes bankrupt and needs to auction off the Louvre and the top antiques and artworks in the Louvre to survive.
Only then was it possible for him to acquire these antiques and even buy the entire Louvre.
That kind of thing is almost impossible to happen.
During the visit and appreciation, Xiao Ran did not miss this good opportunity to quickly improve his strength.
For him, the hundreds of thousands of antiques and works of art displayed in the Louvre are undoubtedly a panacea.
In this top museum, his strength was able to improve by leaps and bounds again, becoming even stronger.
All this happened silently, and no one knew about it.
In the blink of an eye, it was already around three o'clock in the afternoon.
Louvre, painting gallery.
Xiao Ran and the others stood in front of the romantic classic "Liberty Leading the People", admiring this famous painting.
Everyone knows this classic work of Romanticism very well, so no one explains it.
In the live broadcast room, Fang Yufei directly posted the relevant information about this world-famous painting for fans to check for themselves.
When appreciating this romantic masterpiece, Xiao Ran first appreciated the painting as a whole, then turned on the perspective for further exploration.
He had performed this kind of action countless times today, but no one noticed.
When looking through the antique artifacts and works of art, he would occasionally discover something and see some hidden secrets.
But most of the time nothing was found and nothing was discovered.
Under perspective, this famous painting "Liberty Leading the People" was completely seen by Xiao Ran in an instant.
The next moment, a look of surprise suddenly flashed deep in his eyes.
There are actually some unknown secrets hidden in this romantic classic painting.
Through perspective, Xiao Ran saw clearly.
In the painting, underneath the tricolor flag fluttering in the wind amidst the flames of war and gunpowder smoke, there is a set of Arabic numerals hidden.
To be more precise, this group of Arabic numerals is hidden deep in the painting. It is completely covered by the paint on the surface and cannot be seen at all.
There is only one way to see this set of numbers.
That is to shovel away the paint on the surface to discover this unknown secret.
If the surface paint were shoveled away, this most outstanding representative work of Romanticism, "Liberty Leading the People", would cease to exist.
Such a thing is simply impossible to happen.
In other words, the secret hidden under this painting is impossible for people to discover.
At least this is not possible with current technical means.
Although there are some mysterious numbers hidden in the "Mona Lisa", they are not hidden so deeply.
Through some technical means, the mysterious numbers and patterns hidden in the "Mona Lisa" have been discovered one after another, but they have not yet been deciphered.
The numbers hidden in the painting "Liberty Leading the People" have never been discovered by anyone.
So far, only Xiao Ran has seen this set of numbers through clairvoyance.
After a brief moment of surprise, Xiao Ran immediately began to analyze this set of numbers and memorized them firmly.
In a moment, he understood the meaning of this group of numbers.
This is actually a geographical coordinate, and the location it points to is in urban Paris.
No need to ask, this coordinate must point to an unknown secret or treasure.
And this secret or treasure must be very amazing, even earth-shattering.
Otherwise, Delacroix would not have deliberately hidden this coordinate here, and hidden it in the most proud masterpiece of his life.
But what exactly this secret and treasure is is currently unknown.
It is only possible to know the answer after some on-the-spot investigation.
After confirming this, Xiao Ran suddenly became more excited.
Apart from this set of geographical coordinates, there are no other secrets in this famous painting.
After remembering this set of coordinates, Xiao Ran ended the perspective and continued to appreciate the painting.
Soon, it was the afternoon closing time.
Xiao Ran and the others finished their visit, walked out of the Louvre with a smile, and prepared to return to the hotel on the other side.
Due to the short distance, they did not take a car today, but chose to walk.
In this way, you can also enjoy the scenery around the Louvre and the Seine River.
As soon as they came out of the Louvre, Xiao Ran and the others saw a few familiar faces.
The other party was a few old friends, Carlin and Francois, and a top French collector.
The moment he saw these guys, Xiao Ran laughed softly and whispered to Elaine:
"Honey, I guess someone took the bait. I have to say, these guys bit the hook so fast that I was a little caught off guard."
Hearing this, both Elaine and Fang Yufei chuckled.
"Yes! It seems that someone is going to be fooled. You are so cunning!"
While talking, Carlin and Francois came closer.
After greeting each other, Carlin immediately got to the point.
"Sean, regarding what you found in the small hotel in Montmartre yesterday, we have analyzed and studied it and are preparing to make an acquisition request to you."
"Since you and the hotel owner Renault have reached a verbal agreement, each of you has half of the interest in the discovery, so we want to acquire your half of the interest."
"Regarding this matter, the hotel owner Renault has promised to cooperate with us. In this case, he has not breached the contract. What do you think?"
Xiao Ran looked at these guys and didn't respond immediately.
After pretending to think for a moment, he smiled and said:
"You want to acquire half of my equity? It seems that you value the things buried under the Reno Hotel."
"In this case, would it be too much of a loss for me to sell half of my interest? I might miss out on an amazing treasure, even the legendary Napoleon's treasure."
"I have to think carefully about this matter before I can really make a decision. I can't give you an answer now. I'm very sorry!"
Carlin and the others seemed to have expected this result.
They looked at each other quickly, and then Karin said:
"Okay, Sean, you can think about it carefully, we have the patience to wait."
"While you are thinking about it, I hope you can agree to allow our people to enter the hotel and conduct further exploration so that we can make a more accurate judgment."
Xiao Ran shook his head and directly rejected the other party's request.
"This is definitely not possible, Carlin. The cooperation between Renault and I is exclusive and does not accept third party intervention."
"If you enter the hotel to explore and discover an amazing treasure, neither I nor Renault will be able to sell our rights."
"In view of this, I think it is better to maintain the status quo and wait until I make a decision before talking about the next move."
Karin and the others paused for a moment, then nodded helplessly.
"That makes sense, then we'll wait for your decision!"
Next, the two sides chatted for a few more words, and then parted ways.
After leaving the square in front of the Louvre and walking some distance away, Elaine suddenly asked in a low voice:
"My dear, why don't you just sell half of your equity and be safe?"
Xiao Ran shook his head gently.
"I plan to stretch these guys, so that I can sell them at a higher price!"
