About twenty minutes later, in the conference room on the top floor.

When Xiao Ran took David and the others into the conference room, the French presidential envoy, Henry and others were already here.

After greeting each other and saying a few polite words, the French immediately got to the point.

"Sean, we basically agree with your proposed disposal plan for the Napoleon Treasure and Robespierre Treasure, and only made some minor adjustments."

"You can take a look at our adjustment opinions. If you agree, we can start the transaction. If you don't agree, we can continue to negotiate."

"From our point of view, we have made enough concessions. The purpose is to facilitate the transaction between us and avoid other changes."

The French Minister of Culture said with a smile, but the smile on his face was very forced.

As he said these words, Carlin took out two folders from his briefcase and handed them over casually.

Obviously, the tragic fire that occurred yesterday afternoon and the series of previous firefights played a certain catalytic role.

Some people in the French government, and even the French president, realize that they will not gain any advantage if this matter continues to be delayed.

Not only that, letting Xiao Ran stay in Paris for a long time with a large number of powerful armed security guards is an unbearable burden for Paris!

Paris, a romantic city of art and fashion, must not be destroyed in the hands of these crazy bastards, and they cannot be allowed to turn Paris into a battlefield of killing.

It is based on this understanding that the French government has just made the decision to complete the cooperation and transaction with Xiao Ran as soon as possible.

Even if the disposal plan for Napoleon's treasure and Robespierre's treasure is not satisfactory, it doesn't matter, as long as you don't suffer a loss.

Once all the cooperation and deals are completed, these crazy bastards will leave France and go to the UK across the Channel.

By then, it will be time for those pedantic British guys on the other side of the strait to have a headache, and save those guys from gloating every day.

Xiao Ran did not reach out to pick up the two folders. Instead, David and a senior French lawyer took them and looked at them.

As for Xiao Ran, he chatted with some French guys opposite.

"Gentlemen, when I was having breakfast, I saw the morning news reporting on the situation on the Avenue Saint-Michel. It looked very tragic."

“Considering that Elaine is French and grew up on the Left Bank, we will often come to Paris and live here in the future, so I wanted to do something.”

"When the cooperation and transaction between us is completed, before leaving Paris, I will donate some money as appropriate to help rebuild that section of the Avenue Saint-Michel."

"This amount should be tens of millions of dollars, just a lot more. Through this donation, I hope to improve the relationship with the Paris citizens and improve my image."

The French guys sitting opposite were completely dumbfounded!

They quickly looked at each other and saw countless question marks in each other's eyes.

How could Sean, an extremely shrewd and greedy guy, have such a good heart?

Will he really donate tens of millions of dollars to rebuild the Boulevard Saint-Michel? Did I hear that correctly?

Or does this cunning guy have other intentions? Is this just setting the stage and playing the emotional card?

How did the French Presidential Envoy and Henry know that Xiao Ran's real purpose was not Avenue Saint-Michel, but the French Senate!

After several French officials quickly exchanged glances, the presidential envoy came forward and said:

"Sean, if you would like to donate a sum of money to rebuild Avenue Saint-Michel, we would of course welcome it and thank you for your generosity"

"I believe that all citizens and businesses living on Avenue Saint-Michel, and even all Paris citizens, will be grateful for your generosity."

"In view of this, I hope that we can reach a deal and complete the cooperation as soon as possible, so that the Avenue Saint-Michel can be rebuilt more quickly."

Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.

"It seems we have the same idea, I think so too"

While he was talking, David had quickly read the French's proposed modifications to the treasure disposal plan and handed over the folder.

Xiao Ran casually took the folder and opened it to read.

As the French presidential envoy said, the French did not make many changes to the treasure disposal plan proposed by Xiao Ran, but only made some minor adjustments.

The most important thing is that they did not touch the treasure that Xiao Ran wanted to collect for himself, and only made some minor adjustments to the other three treasures.

They know exactly what can and cannot move.

This is a huge difference from their previous attitude.

The reason for this change is obviously because of what happened in the past two days.

In a moment, Xiao Ran had read through the changes they proposed.

Then, he looked up at the French guys opposite.

"Gentlemen, since you haven't touched the treasure I want, I have no objection to the adjustments you proposed."

"However, whether your proposed adjustments can be passed depends on the opinions of the U.S. government and ensuring equivalence of value."

"I can ensure that the market values ​​of the other three treasures are basically equal. Next, it depends on the outcome of your negotiations with the United States."

"Before entering the conference room, I informed the American Ambassador and Max and asked them to come here. I think they will be here soon."

Hearing this, the French people opposite felt a headache and felt depressed.

But they could only nod in agreement and had no other choice.

"Okay, let's wait here for the US representatives to arrive. I believe it will not be difficult for us to reach an agreement."

Say Cao Cao, Cao Cao is here!

"Sean, the U.S. Ambassador to France and Max are here and have entered the hotel lobby."

Marvin's voice came from the wireless invisible earphones.

After hearing the announcement, Xiao Ran immediately turned on the miniature microphone on his chest and said:

"Copy that, Marvin, bring Max up after they pass the security check."

"Okay, Sean."

Marvin responded and ended the call.

Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran introduced the situation to the Frenchman opposite.

Several French guys looked at each other, then nodded in unison, and could only wait patiently.

Five or six minutes later, Marks, the U.S. Ambassador to France, and the others walked into the conference room together.

After meeting and greeting, Xiao Ran immediately introduced the situation and explained the French side's revision opinions.

Next, naturally, there is another round of negotiations.

When the time came to about ten o'clock, the meeting finally ended.

The three parties reached an agreement during the talks, mainly the Americans and the French reached a treasure distribution plan acceptable to both parties.

Next, they sent the finalized plan to their superiors and bosses, waiting for their superiors to make the final decision.

While waiting, everyone laughed and chatted together, and the atmosphere was much more harmonious than before.

After chatting for a while, Xiao Ran suddenly changed the subject.

"Mr. Special Envoy, Henry, if we can successfully sign the tripartite agreement in the morning, we can explore the remaining underground secret passage of Robespierre's treasure in the afternoon."

"We can launch exploratory operations at any time. I wonder if you are ready? If you are not ready, you can push it later."

He suddenly changed the topic, catching everyone off guard.

Several French guys on the opposite side were stunned for a moment before they reacted.

The next moment, Henry and the French Minister of Culture looked at each other quickly, and then nodded together.

Immediately afterwards, Henry said excitedly:

"Sean, we at the Louvre and Sorbonne University have reached an agreement with the Ministry of Culture on the follow-up exploration of Robespierre's treasure and related research activities."

"A joint exploration team composed of the Louvre Museum and Sorbonne University will represent the French side and will cooperate with you to explore and excavate the secret underground passage."

"Our joint exploration team has been formed and can be summoned at any time to launch joint exploration operations with you. There is no problem in starting this afternoon."

Xiao Ran looked at this old friend and nodded immediately.

"That would be great. Once we sign the tripartite agreement, let's take action immediately."

"I'm still very curious about what's hidden in that underground secret passage, and I hope to make major discoveries."

"We, too, want to know what is hidden in that secret underground passage."

Henry and Connell nodded together, even impatiently.

The next moment, the French Minister of Culture suddenly intervened.

"Sean, in that case, why don't we sign the agreement to jointly explore the treasures of Louis XVI and Queen Mary today, and then immediately launch a joint exploration operation?"

Following his words, everyone at the scene looked at Xiao Ran.

Especially that guy Max is even more ready to make a move.

Xiao Ran smiled and shook his head, rejecting the French Minister of Culture's request.

"Mr. Minister, don't worry about the joint exploration of the treasures of Louis XVI and Queen Mary. It's a little early to talk about it now."

"Only after I have dealt with the Napoleon treasure and the Robespierre treasure will I consider exploring the treasures of Louis XVI and Queen Marie..."

While he was speaking, the cell phone of the French presidential envoy suddenly rang.

Immediately afterwards, the cell phone of the US Ambassador to France also rang.

No need to ask, both presidents have made their decision.
