After leaving Napoleon Manor, Xiao Ran and the others went directly to visit Barbizon, which is not far away.
During the visit, they not only saw beautiful scenery, but also made some surprising discoveries.
In an antique shop in Barbizon, Xiao Ran discovered a landscape painting by Troyan, a famous Barbizon painter, and several other paintings.
In another small gallery, he discovered a painting by the Impressionist master Manet and a work by the famous female Impressionist painter Morisot.
These discoveries made everyone very excited and swept away the previous depression.
Of course, the gallery owners and antique shop owners looked frustrated and remorseful.
Xiao Ran and the others stayed in Barbizon until about four o'clock in the afternoon, and then left with their harvest.
When they returned to the hotel in District 7, they received another series of good news.
Liangzi and the others have successfully acquired several suburban villas owned by the Lu Qinzhai family, including two holiday villas in Cannes, but they have not yet paid.
Tomorrow they will rush to Cannes to inspect the two holiday villas in Cannes.
When they return from Cannes, they will complete the follow-up procedures of these real estate transactions, including payment, property transfer, etc.
In addition, the first acquisition team also gained something.
Several residents in the apartment building on the east side of the Luxembourg Gardens could not resist the temptation of high prices and agreed to transfer their apartments.
There are fewer and fewer residents who are still holding on, and it is only a matter of time before they are all taken over.
The acquisition of the two historical buildings near the Bastille has also quietly begun, and is progressing very smoothly!
The people living in those two historical buildings were eager to leave that chaotic street as soon as possible.
I heard that someone wanted to acquire it, how could they say no?
Xiao Ran was very satisfied with the work of the two acquisition teams.
But the acquisition is not yet complete, and the show must go on.
In the next few days, Xiao Ran will continue to sweep through the Paris antique art market, sweeping up a large number of valuable and unknown antique art, and the harvest is amazing.
Or go visit the major museums all over Paris, appreciate the many antique works of art displayed in those museums, improve your eyesight and knowledge, and by the way improve your own strength!
During this period, after several rounds of bargaining, he transferred half of the rights to the suspected underground treasure in the Renault Hotel to a victim found by the French Ministry of Culture for a high price of 80 million euros.
After getting half of the rights, the French immediately launched further exploration operations and prepared to dig!
But how do they know what they will face next.
As I spoke, more than a week had passed.
Except for the famous Red Mansions in Paris, all properties targeted by Xiao Ran have been acquired.
The reason why the Red Building is placed last is because the Red Building is a historical and cultural heritage of Paris and a protected building.
Once the acquisition of the Red Mansions begins, it will inevitably alarm the Paris City Government and the French Ministry of Culture, and relevant permissions will be required to complete the acquisition.
If the French Ministry of Culture and the Paris City Government knew that the person planning to acquire Red Mansion was Xiao Ran, they would never agree to the acquisition plan.
Because of this, Xiao Ran made such arrangements.
Now that he has enough leverage, he has no worries about the Paris city government and the French Ministry of Culture getting in the way.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, presidential suite.
Xiao Ran and the others were laughing and chatting while admiring several paintings displayed in front of them.
At this time, there were several more easels in the living room, with several oil paintings placed on them.
These oil paintings come from several properties owned by the Lu Qinzhai family, as well as the villas of Louis and others, including the classic work "The Inspiration of the Poet" by the French classicist master Poussin.
With the completion of a series of acquisitions, those properties now belong to Xiao Ran.
Naturally, all the antiques and artworks placed in those houses fell into his hands.
In front of a solid wood easel.
Pierre and Caroline held magnifying glasses and were studying "The Inspiration of the Poet", and from time to time they compared it with the painting of the same name collected in the Louvre Museum!
The expressions of the two of them were exactly the same, both were filled with wonder and excitement.
No need to ask about the result!
After a moment, Caroline nodded excitedly and said:
"Yes, this is indeed an authentic work by the French classical art master Poussin, another "Inspiration of the Poet""
"In the history of Western art, people agree that Poussin created two "Inspiration of the Poet""
"Now it seems that he actually created three paintings of "The Poet's Inspiration", and the third one is here. This discovery is so amazing!"
Before he finished speaking, Pierre immediately nodded and agreed:
"I also think this is an authentic work by the classicist master Poussin. It is definitely a work of art."
"This painting is almost exactly the same as the "Inspiration of the Poet" in the Louvre. It is even better painted, but the size is different!"
"There is no doubt that the discovery of this "Poet's Inspiration" will definitely cause quite a stir."
Having said this, he suddenly paused and turned to look at Xiao Ran.
"Sean, you're so lucky. You just bought a country house and you made such an amazing discovery!"
"The value of this painting can be exchanged for dozens of country villas in the suburbs of Paris!"
To maintain confidentiality, there was much that Pierre did not know.
He only knew a little bit about Xiao Ran's series of acquisitions.
The "Poet's Inspiration" in front of him was not worth mentioning compared with Lu Qinzhai's treasure and several other treasures. Xiao Ran didn't take it seriously at all!
Those treasures of astonishing value were Xiao Ran's goal. This top-notch work of art was just a small surprise!
Next, Xiao Ran briefly introduced the process of discovering this oil painting.
Of course, he withheld a lot of key information.
After the introduction, he handed over the academic research rights of the painting to Caroline and curry favor with his future mother-in-law.
Caroline naturally liked this gift very much.
Excited, she came up directly and gave Xiao Ran a warm hug, grateful.
During this period, Caroline has made her mark in the field of art research through the study of Lautrec's "Memories of Love and Hate" and the "Portrait of Paulina" jointly created by Jacques David and Delacroix across time and space. caught the limelight.
Her academic status in the field of Western art history research has also risen with the tide, and she has been in the limelight for a while!
Now there is another piece of "The Inspiration of the Poet" by the French classicist master Poussin, which will definitely take her to a higher level in the academic circle and get one step closer to the top of the academic pyramid!
After chatting for a while, Pierre suddenly asked:
"Sean, you have acquired so many properties in Paris, is it time to start corresponding exploration?"
"Based on what I know about you, you definitely have a bigger purpose by sending people to secretly purchase so many properties."
Xiao Ran didn't hide his father-in-law's secrets, and there was no need.
"Indeed, Pierre, I will prepare to launch the first exploration operation tomorrow."
"If you are interested, you can come and have a look, maybe you will get some surprises!"
Before he finished speaking, Pierre showed an expression that was indeed true.
He nodded and said expectantly:
"That's perfect. I'll come over tomorrow and see what treasures you, God's darling, will find!"
"By the way, Carlin and the others will also take action tomorrow and lead people to dig at the Reno Hotel."
"There are two archaeologists from the Louvre in the exploration team, both of whom are my friends."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly paused.
Then, he said in a deep voice:
"Pierre, you'd better remind Carlin and the two archaeologists to be careful when digging."
"I suspect that the metal objects buried deep underground in the Reno Hotel may be a large number of weapons and equipment, or even bombs."
"The location of the Hotel Renault seems to have been the most important artillery position of the National Guard during the Paris Commune Revolution."
"From that position you can overlook most of the main city of Paris. It is undoubtedly the best artillery position, so you must be careful."
"ah!"
There was an exclamation in the living room, and everyone was startled.
Especially Pierre and Caroline, their expressions changed!
After exclaiming, David and Elaine showed the same expressions as before, with a bit of smiles in their eyes.
Pierre's expression was a little solemn.
After thinking for a moment, he said:
"Sean, did you guess that this was a possibility, so you sold your half of the equity?"
Although this is the fact, we cannot admit it even to death!
Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, then explained a few words.
"I also studied a lot of information from the Paris Commune period to come up with this result."
"Since this is possible, we should be more careful to avoid accidents!"
