Palais de Luxembourg, Office of Strategic Services.
Several French senators, two intelligence officers, and two senior CIA agents were meeting.
On the projection screen in this office, an edited video material is being played.
On the tables in front of the senators and agents, there were some documents.
Those documents are basically in English, and each document comes from the CIA, with the CIA's watermark and top secret stamped on it.
The video played on the projector showed bloody killing scenes.
Through the text message on the video, Xiao Ran understood it instantly.
Those were massacres that had just happened, and each massacre was extremely bloody.
Those responsible for carrying out those bloody massacres were some notorious guys.
It was some CIA agents who secretly directed those guys to carry out the massacre.
Looking at the bloody massacre scenes, Xiao Ran couldn't help but frown.
However, now he had no time to sympathize with the dead.
He has more important things to do and more important information to obtain.
The more important information was placed on the table in front of several French senators and the agents.
In those documents marked top secret, there were clearly things written that could shock the whole world.
To put it simply, this is a shocking conspiracy planned by the US government.
Trying to provoke a local war in Eastern Europe to achieve the strategic goal of weakening Russia and even the EU.
Looking at the contents of these top-secret documents, Xiao Ran couldn't help feeling frightened.
At the same time, he was extremely excited.
He knew very well how valuable this top-secret information was.
If this information were leaked, it would probably trigger a war in minutes.
But for China, this is a good opportunity to make a profit.
If you make good use of this top-secret information, you will definitely gain huge benefits.
Thinking of this, Xiao Ran suddenly became more excited.
He knew that his decision to buy this apartment building was the right one.
The top-secret information discovered today alone is worth hundreds or even thousands of such apartment buildings.
What's more, I will move here in the future, and people will come over to stay for a few days every now and then.
By then, not only France, but also half of the Western world will become transparent, and there will be no more secrets.
While feeling secretly happy, Xiao Ran was also memorizing the contents of those top-secret materials.
For him now, this is not a problem at all.
While admiring the scenery, he quickly wrote down the key points of the top-secret materials, and then withdrew his gaze.
Next, he turned back to the living room, sat down on the sofa, and while drinking coffee, he discussed with Pierre and the others about renovating the apartment building.
"Sean, since you and Elaine plan to live on the top floor and connect the luxury apartments on the top floor into one, what do you plan to do with the other apartments?"
Pierre asked curiously.
Xiao Ran thought for a moment and then gave the answer:
"I am going to take out a few of the remaining luxury apartments and leave them to the company's senior employees and their families."
"If they come to Paris in the future, they don't have to stay in hotels, they can just live in those luxury apartments."
"It's more convenient, more comfortable, less disruptive, and the scenery is better."
"The remaining luxury apartments may be rented out or sold after being renovated."
"But to whom those luxury apartments are rented or sold to, the decision rests with me and must be approved by me."
Pierre nodded and then continued:
"This arrangement is very good and safer. Some neighbors who lived in this apartment building before want to move back here."
"They want to rent an apartment in this building. What do you mean by that, are they welcome to come back and rent?"
Xiao Ran paused for a moment, then nodded and said:
"Whoever wants to move back to this apartment building can apply to the administrator later. As long as the conditions are met, I have no objection."
"They originally lived in this apartment building, so they know everything about them and are more trustworthy than others."
Next, they continued to laugh and chat.
After a while, Caroline also came here.
After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject.
"Pierre, take me to see the antique furniture that was sent here before. I am very interested in those antique furniture."
Pierre immediately nodded and responded:
"Okay, Sean, come with me. I put all the antique furniture in the second bedroom."
"Those Chinese antique furniture are very exquisite. Each piece is a work of art. I like it very much."
With that said, he led Xiao Ran and the others towards the second bedroom.
As soon as he entered the second bedroom, Xiao Ran saw the antique furniture shipped from the Red Mansion.
These antique furniture come from the Ming and Qing dynasties and each piece is valuable.
They include a Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchair, two Ming Dynasty red sandalwood four-year-old official hat chairs, a Ming Dynasty red sandalwood painting case, and a mid-Qing mahogany cabinet.
Then there is a pair of ebony flower stools from the early Qing Dynasty, which are just for making up the numbers, but they also have some collection value.
These antique furniture are in good condition and are elegant and pleasing to the eye.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, the value of these antique furniture is far more than that.
There are some unknown secrets hidden in these elegant antique furniture.
After entering the second bedroom, Xiao Ran took a general look at the antique furniture, and then let out a series of admirations.
"When I was watching the video of the interior of the Red Building shot by my subordinates, I discovered these pieces of antique furniture."
"With the mentality that I would rather buy something wrong than miss it, I asked my people to buy these pieces of antique furniture."
"Now it seems that this is a very wise decision. These antique furniture are much better than what I saw on the video."
As he spoke, he came to the Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchair and gently touched the armchair.
"This is a huanghuali armchair from the middle and late Ming Dynasty. It is the most typical representative work of Ming Dynasty furniture, dating back more than 300 years."
"And this huanghuali armchair is in very good condition. With a little repair, it can be used normally and regain its luster."
As soon as she said this, Caroline suddenly interjected and asked:
"I heard that Ming Dynasty furniture in China is very expensive, especially huanghuali and red sandalwood furniture"
"Sean, if this Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchair was put on the market, how much would it fetch?"
Xiao Ran looked at Caroline and immediately gave the answer.
"Based on the current market conditions, the price of this Ming Dynasty huanghuali armchair should be around US$100."
"Since it comes from the famous Red House in Paris, it can be fetched an additional $200,000, which is $1.2 million."
Caroline couldn't help but exclaimed when she heard this valuation.
"Wow! $1.2 million, and this is just a chair!"
