As soon as the motorcade arrived at the door of the apartment building, Anthony's voice came over the intercom.
"Sean, the scene inside and outside the apartment building is under our control. It is basically safe. You can get out of the car with confidence."
"But the situation at the scene is quite complicated. There are many people from different backgrounds mixed in the crowd, including some secret agents stationed in Paris from European and American countries."
"For safety reasons, you'd better not stay at the door of the apartment building for a long time to avoid accidents!"
After hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran immediately picked up the walkie-talkie and said:
"Copy that, Anthony, we'll be entering the apartment building as soon as we get off the bus."
"As for dealing with media reporters, I will let Mike and Matthew come forward to explain the situation."
While talking, the motorcade had arrived at the door of the apartment building. Many vehicles were connected end to end and slowly stopped.
As soon as the motorcade stopped, Anthony quickly got out of the car with many armed security personnel and quickly dispersed and alerted.
The security personnel who were originally guarding in front of the apartment building, the many security guards standing on the roof and mixed in the crowd, and the two sniper teams in the distance were all put on the highest alert.
Many media reporters gathered in front of the apartment building, as well as people who came from all directions to watch the excitement, all holding cameras and mobile phones, taking pictures of the motorcade.
After a while, Xiao Ran opened the car door, got out of the car with Elaine and the others, and stood in front of the apartment building.
As soon as they appeared, the guys gathered in front of the apartment building were immediately excited. They started shouting questions and taking photos.
"Sean, will you return those antique artworks that originally belonged to Italy that Napoleon took away more than 200 years ago?"
"This street belongs to us, Sean, and we demand a share of Napoleon's treasure, at least half of it!"
Xiao Ran turned a deaf ear to the endless questions and requests, as if he hadn't heard them.
He just smiled and waved to the crowd, and then led Elaine and the others into the apartment building.
Immediately afterwards, many company employees also walked into the apartment building one after another, dragging boxes filled with exploration equipment, ready to start exploration!
Seeing this scene, the guys gathered outside were disappointed and sighed.
Of course, some of the guys were already swearing under their breaths.
At this moment, Mike and Matthew, who had arrived here in advance, suddenly walked out of the apartment building and walked straight to the location where most media reporters were.
Coming closer, Matthew immediately smiled and said loudly:
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, I am an employee of Mr. Sean, my name is Matthew."
"This is Mr. Sean's lawyer next to him, Mike. Next, we will explain the situation to everyone on behalf of Mr. Sean."
"Similar to yesterday, today's excavation operation will also be broadcast live on the Internet. Everyone can witness the entire process through the live broadcast channel..."
Upon hearing his words, the guys gathered outside the cordon immediately became excited.
Immediately afterwards, they started bombarding Matthew and Mike with questions and all kinds of unbelievable requests.
Meanwhile, in the lobby on the first floor of the apartment building.
Xiao Ran shook hands with the cultural counselor of the U.S. Embassy in France, who arrived early, and exchanged a few polite words.
The U.S. Ambassador to France has not arrived here yet. He will arrive here by helicopter after attending a foreign affairs event around ten o'clock.
The reason why these Americans are so active is of course money.
After they received Xiao Ran's money, they would come here to support him and contain the French government.
In addition to the U.S. Embassy, requests have been made by the embassies of European countries such as Italy, Spain, Germany, and the United Kingdom, as well as the EU missions.
I hope to come to the apartment building to participate in and witness today’s excavation with my own eyes!
However, Xiao Ran rejected their request without hesitation, without giving any face.
Letting these guys into the apartment building scene is definitely asking for trouble.
Of course Xiao Ran would not do such a stupid thing!
Even after being rejected, European embassies in France sent representatives and agents, but they could only stand outside the apartment building and watch.
Looking at the cultural counselor of the US Embassy chatting with Xiao Ran, the French Deputy Minister of Culture couldn't help but frown.
The next moment, he pulled Karin aside and whispered to this guy:
"This bastard Sean is so cunning. He is on guard against us at every turn. He is also watertight and extremely difficult to deal with!"
"Our people must participate in today's excavation operation and must follow Sean and the others into the underground palace as soon as possible!"
"In view of this, it seems that we can only nod and agree to let Sean buy the Red Mansion, so that our experts and scholars can follow suit!"
Carlin paused, then nodded helplessly.
"It seems like this is the only way to go. Fortunately, we have reached a consensus that we can let Sean, the bastard, acquire the Red Mansion."
"I will immediately notify the relevant departments of the city government and ask them to approve Mrs. Henyal's transaction application."
The French Deputy Minister of Culture immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, I will notify the relevant personnel of the Ministry of Culture to approve the transaction application of the Red House."
"In addition, we need to organize a team of archaeological experts to come here as soon as possible."
In a few sentences, the two senior French officials had reached a consensus.
Then he took out his cell phone and went to make a call.
After a while, they had finished making phone calls and returned to the lobby.
At this time, Xiao Ran had finished arranging the work and was preparing to take everyone to the garden.
The next moment, Carlin suddenly said:
"Sean, come here, we have something to talk to you about."
Hearing this, Xiao Ran's eyes quickly flashed with a smile.
He immediately understood what had happened.
These French guys finally gave in and allowed themselves to acquire the Red House in Paris!
After confirming this, he suddenly felt excited, but his expression did not change much.
Next, he comes over with David.
Then he walked to the side with Carlin and the others, pretending to be curious and asked in a low voice:
"Gentlemen, what do you want to talk to me about? You can do it now."
"The excavation operation will start soon. If it is an unimportant matter, we can talk about it later."
You bastard, didn’t you ask questions knowingly?
Karin and the others rolled their eyes angrily and then got down to business.
"Sean, we were on the road just now. We discussed it over the phone and decided to accept your terms."
"That is to say, you can go ahead and acquire the Paris Red House. We have approved Mrs. Henyard's transaction application."
"In exchange, we must fulfill the conditions you promised us before!"
Before he finished speaking, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Gentlemen, this is really good news and what I want to hear most."
"You can rest assured that I never break my promise and I will definitely do what I promised."
"It's a pleasure to cooperate, gentlemen. I believe this is a cooperation that will be beneficial to both of us."
As he spoke, he stretched out his right hand.
Karin and the others paused for a moment, and even felt as if they had been tricked, but they couldn't tell what was wrong!
The next moment, they stretched out their right hands, shook hands with Xiao Ran one after another, and concluded the deal.
After shaking hands, Xiao Ran suddenly turned around and said:
"David, you can come up with the cooperation agreement."
"Karin, Mr. Minister, you can take a look at this agreement."
"If you have no objections, then just sign it. After all, words are nothing!"
Before he finished speaking, David had already taken out the already drawn up agreement from his briefcase and handed it over.
"ah!"
Carlin and the others were dumbfounded, staring at the cooperation agreement with their mouths open.
