Ten minutes later.
Several media outlets that had been granted permission to enter the apartment building for on-site reporting had successfully passed the security check and entered the lobby on the first floor.
Without exception, these guys were extremely excited and expressed their gratitude to Xiao Ran.
The rest of the media reporters who were still outside were very dissatisfied.
They protested one after another, demanding the same interview treatment, but to no avail.
Xiao Ran ignored them at all, and they could only continue to report on the street outside.
Also standing on the street outside, European ambassadors to France and cultural counselors also made the same request to enter the apartment building and witness the cleaning process of Napoleon's treasure.
In order to keep these guys as shields, Xiao Ran gave them a little hope, saying that he would think about it and let them wait patiently.
After dealing with the media reporters who entered the apartment building for interviews, Xiao Ran summoned Matthew and another employee and began to assign tasks to these guys.
"Guys, in the suite on the first floor facing the garden and closest to the lobby, arrange a room for identifying antiques, cultural relics and works of art."
"You should be able to see the garden from this room, but the light should not be too bright. The brightness of the light should be adjustable at any time, and it should be safe enough..."
In a few words, he had finished his request to appraise the room.
After the words fell, Matthew and the others immediately nodded and responded:
"Copy that, Sean, leave this to us, we'll go set it up right away"
After saying that, the two guys turned around and left to get busy.
Xiao Ran walked to the big-screen TV and stood with Elaine, watching the live broadcast from the underground palace.
As soon as he stood still, several media reporters immediately came up and started asking questions.
"Good evening, Sean, and thank you again for giving us the opportunity to enter the apartment building for live coverage."
"But I still want to ask, can we enter this underground palace for interviews? This underground palace is really shocking."
A male reporter from the New York Times asked expectantly, pointing to the underground palace on the live broadcast screen.
Xiao Ran looked at this guy and shook his head to reject this unrealistic delusion.
"I'm very sorry, Harrell, I can't agree to your request. This is purely for safety reasons."
"There are many deadly traps in this Gothic palace deep underground. I only closed them but did not dismantle them."
"More importantly, the cleaning and transportation of Napoleon's treasures is still going on. To avoid accidents, no one else is allowed to enter during this period."
"Only after my employees have cleaned up this underground palace and moved everything in Napoleon's treasure to the ground can you enter this underground palace for filming and interviews."
Upon hearing this, the New York Times reporter could only nod helplessly.
Immediately afterwards, a reporter from French TV station asked:
"Good evening, Mr. Sean, we are honored to be here for live interviews and reports."
"The discovery of this underground palace and the legendary Napoleon treasure has shocked the entire Western world"
"Now people are very concerned about, what will you do with this amazing treasure? How will you deal with those controversial antique artworks and gold and silver treasures?"
Xiao Ran turned to look at this guy, then smiled and said:
"It's too early to say what to do with Napoleon's treasure. I haven't thought about this issue carefully."
"But one thing is for sure, this apartment building belongs to me and so does the Napoleon treasure hidden here. There is no dispute about that."
"Anyone who wants to question this fact is a betrayal and blasphemy of the basic principle of the sanctity and inviolability of private property upheld by the Western capitalist world!"
"ah!"
There was an exclamation of exclamation at the scene, and everyone looked at Xiao Ran in stunned silence.
A blasphemy against the sanctity of private property! This high hat is too harsh!
But I have to say that this trick is indeed very lethal, enough to stop many people's mouths!
Of course, this has no effect on those guys who talk about benevolence and morality but are full of male thieves and female prostitutes.
Several senior French officials at the scene were choked and felt quite embarrassed!
Not only them, but also the presidents, prime ministers, and prime ministers of various European countries who were watching the live broadcast, as well as high-level governments of various countries, were all choked and stunned.
Immediately afterwards, waves of gnashing curses rang out in the Elysee Palace in Paris, the Chigi Palace in Rome, and in many places across Europe.
Next, several other reporters asked questions one after another.
The questions all revolved around Napoleon's treasure, and some of the questions were quite pointed.
For example, a reporter from Le Figaro asked how to respond to the claims made by many European countries. Will the corresponding antique artworks be returned to these countries?
Xiao Ran's answer remained the same, it was too early to discuss this issue now.
He also emphasized once again that the antique artworks and gold and silver treasures in Napoleon's treasures all belong to him, and this is undisputed.
The answer he gave made many people feel itchy but helpless.
After answering each reporter's question one after another, Xiao Ran ended the interview.
Next, he walked towards the French presidential envoy, the Minister of Culture and others, preparing to chat with these senior French officials.
He also has another purpose, which is to let the Paris police continue to strengthen security here.
And keep these senior French government officials here to act as human shields.
When he came closer, he smiled and said hello to a few French guys, and then got down to business.
"Gentlemen, we can now talk about the issues that concern you most."
Hearing this, several senior French officials showed joy on their faces.
Before they could respond, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject.
"Before that, I have something to remind everyone to avoid unexpected changes. I believe no one wants to see that kind of scene."
"According to reports from my security personnel, there are many guys with ulterior motives and weapons among the crowd on the street outside."
"The largest number of them are gang members from all walks of life. Almost all gangs in Paris and its suburbs have people here."
"Then there are art thieves from all walks of life. There are many people here, as well as intelligence officers from various countries pretending to be passers-by, and other people from all walks of life, etc."
"Without exception, these guys are all here for Napoleon's treasure. They all have ulterior motives and are trying to loot this shocking treasure."
"As night falls, some of these guys will definitely take action, such as causing chaos and then taking the opportunity to rush in and rob."
"I suggest you immediately strengthen your security forces to deter these guys with ulterior motives. I believe you don't want to see riots occur."
"One thing I must state in advance is that if our security and interests are violated, we will not hesitate to fight back. This is our right."
Several French guys were stunned for a moment, and then their expressions instantly changed and became extremely solemn.
These guys understood that Xiao Ran's words were more than just words.
If someone really tried to rush in and rob, an extremely bloody and brutal fight would definitely take place here.
Any gangsters or art thieves who try to break in and rob will be mercilessly killed by guys like Sean.
How ruthless Sean and his men are has been proven many times, and no one has any doubts.
Also, Napoleon's treasure must not be robbed, as the damage caused would be immeasurable.
There are also many experts and scholars, representatives from various parties, the U.S. Ambassador to France, and reporters from major news media.
Once these people are killed in the chaos, the French government will be disgraced.
More importantly, since he was still in this apartment building, nothing could happen to him.
Thinking of this, the mayor of Paris immediately nodded and said:
"Mr. Sean, I understand the situation you mentioned. I will call the police chief immediately and dispatch a large number of police forces to come here to ensure the safety of this place."
"You can rest assured that we will protect this apartment building, protect the Napoleon treasure, and protect the safety of everyone here."
Xiao Ran looked at this guy, then nodded with a smile and said:
"That's the best thing. Safety comes first. This is good for both of us."
