After taking off the disguise and returning to his original appearance, Xiao Ran called Liangzi and the others to the study to learn about the situation.
Work has begun on both acquisition groups and is proceeding very smoothly.
The first acquisition team responsible for acquiring the apartment building on the east side of the Luxembourg Gardens has reached agreements with several families.
At this point, two-thirds of the households in that apartment building have agreed to sell their apartments at a high price.
It is only a matter of time to capture the remaining one-third.
In fact, it doesn't matter to Xiao Ran whether the remaining one-third of the people are willing to sell their apartments.
The apartments he got now were enough for him to get permission to renovate the apartment building.
Of course, it would be great if we could get all the apartments.
After listening to the report of the first acquisition team, Xiao Ran gave them a new task.
That is to rush to the Bastille tomorrow and acquire the historical building that I explored tonight.
In order to hide it from others, another historical building next to it was also purchased.
After completing the video communication with the first acquisition team, Xiao Ran looked at Liangzi and said with a smile:
"Ryoko, tell me about your situation. Is the acquisition going smoothly?"
After the words fell, Ryoko immediately nodded and began to introduce the situation with great joy.
"Everything is going well. We have reached a series of agreements with Mrs. Henyard and her family to acquire those country villas located outside Paris."
"The transaction conditions are as you wish, all items in the villa are included, and the entire transfer is included, including the underground rights."
"After the final evaluation is completed tomorrow, the real estate transaction contract can be signed. Next, we have to rush to Cannes to acquire two villas in Cannes."
"In addition, we visited Mrs. Henyal's neighbors this afternoon and issued a purchase request to them."
"One of the old men named Louis said he was waiting for a reply from an American named Arthur, but he didn't immediately nod in agreement."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly laughed.
"I am Arthur. I promised Louis and the others before that I would send a lawyer over to talk to them about the acquisition of those villas."
"It seems that I have to send another group of people over to perform a scene against you. This is good, but it will be more realistic!"
As he said this, everyone laughed.
Next, Ryoko reported some other situations.
They did not mention the acquisition of the Red House in Paris and several buildings in the city to Lu Qinzhai's descendants.
The descendants of Lu Qinzhai, who were eager to realize the separation of the family, did not have the slightest suspicion.
In fact, even if they have doubts, it cannot change the outcome.
In the current environment, apart from Xiao Ran, they could not find anyone else to acquire all the assets of the Lu Qinzhai family.
The reason why Xiao Ran acted secretly was not because he was afraid that the Lu Qinzhai family would become suspicious, but because he was afraid that the French government would interfere with it.
The French government and the Paris city government are the biggest obstacles to this series of acquisitions.
After Liangzi finished reporting the situation, Xiao Ran told the guy some things and then let him leave.
Later, Xiao Ran discussed the next arrangements with David.
Then I called a few old friends and discussed one by one about selling the half interest in the secrets discovered in the Reno Hotel.
On the phone, he laid out the terms of the transaction to all parties for the first time.
No matter who wants to get half of the rights, all they need is 100 million euros!
For this offer, those old friends said it was too high and could not accept it.
However, Xiao Ran could hear a hint of emotion in the words of several of them.
The deal wasn't done right away, with several old friends saying they needed to think about it before making a decision.
Xiao Ran, who was sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, would naturally not be in a hurry.
In the busy schedule, the night passed quickly.
In the blink of an eye it's a new day, with clear skies.
After breakfast, Xiao Ran and the others left the hotel early and drove straight to the Fontainebleau Forest southeast of Paris.
The metal objects buried deep underground found by the second exploration team in the Fontainebleau Forest also require further exploration.
Of course, this is more of a performance, and it would be better to discover something.
If he had enough time, Xiao Ran would also like to visit the famous Barbizon Village today to see if he could find anything.
Since the beginning of the 19th century, many painters and sculptors have moved to this village on the edge of the Fontainebleau Forest to concentrate on their creations.
Many top artists in the history of Western art have lived here for a long time and created many famous paintings here.
The most famous and important artist group among them is the famous Barbizon School.
Among all Western art schools, Xiao Ran's favorite school is the Barbizon School.
To this day, many painters and sculptors still live in Barbizon Village, and it has long become a holy place for Western art.
Naturally, there are also several good antique shops and galleries in Barbizon Village.
In these antique shops and galleries, as well as in the homes of people living in Barbizon, you can often find some very good antique works of art, and there are many masterpieces.
Because of this, Xiao Ran wanted to visit Barbizon Village.
While admiring the scenery, do some shopping to see if you can find some huge surprises.
If he comes across a nice villa, he would also like to buy one in this village and use it as a holiday villa in France.
It took nearly an hour for Xiao Ran and the others to arrive at their destination at the edge of Fontainebleau Forest.
The Fontainebleau Forest in spring is vast, green and colorful, and the scenery is extremely beautiful.
As soon as Xiao Ran and the others got out of the car, they were completely attracted by the scenery in the distance, and they all stopped to admire it.
On the edge of the Fontainebleau Forest is a French town with a history of more than 300 years.
The town is dotted with dozens or hundreds of buildings of different styles, most of which are country villas. The courtyards and windows of almost every villa are colorful and full of life.
Looking around, there are not many things representing modern industrial civilization in this small town.
Due to the narrow roads in the town, for protection reasons, all vehicles coming here can only park in public parking lots outside the town and are not allowed to enter the town.
This makes the whole town look very nostalgic, as if time has stopped here, in the 18th and 19th centuries.
While Xiao Ran and the others were admiring the scenery, some passers-by inside and outside the town had already seen them.
Through the numerous reports in the news media these days, almost all French people already know Xiao Ran and the others.
The people living in this small town are naturally no exception.
The moment they saw Xiao Ran, these French guys started talking one after another.
"Look! It's that lucky guy Sean. Why is he here? Did his men discover some treasure here?"
"It's really possible. Those guys have been exploring nearby for a week. It wouldn't be surprising if they find something!"
"That must be the case. Sean's other exploration team heard that a treasure buried deep underground was discovered in Montmartre."
"But this guy didn't go digging for that treasure. Instead, he came to Fontainebleau Forest. It seems that what they found here is even more amazing."
Just when people were talking about it, Xiao Ran and the others had woken up.
Immediately afterwards, a group of them walked towards the small town.
