Apart from the top-quality cornflower sapphire, Xiao Ran did not find any other bigger surprises on the fourth floor of the Red Building.
Or rather, he just wants to discover this huge sapphire.
Some other secrets hidden on the fourth floor of the Red Building will not be revealed in time.
After visiting the fourth floor of the Red Building, Xiao Ran took people to the fifth floor.
The fifth floor is part of the protected cultural heritage of Paris and displays Indian antiques and works of art.
Xiao Ran was not interested in Ah San's stuff.
Although there are a few good things on the fifth floor, they are only treasures in the eyes of Indians and Westerners, and cannot be judged by Xiao Ran at all.
In addition, this place is part of Paris' cultural heritage. Although everything belongs to Xiao Ran, it is still a bit troublesome to dispose of them at will.
In this case, Xiao Ran chose to take a quick tour and then left the fifth floor.
During the visit, he used the excuse that he didn’t know much about Indian antiques and artworks and did not introduce the items displayed on the fifth floor.
Seeing this situation, many fans in the live broadcast room had no choice but to accept the result.
After coming out of the fifth floor, Xiao Ran took Elaine and the others straight to the basement.
Prepare to visit the basement, then leave the Red Building and return to the hotel.
In a moment, they had entered the basement of the red building.
Nearly half of the basement has been arranged into several Indian cultural-style exhibition halls.
Needless to say, the things displayed in these exhibition halls are exactly some Indian antiques and works of art.
Just like the situation on the fifth floor, half of the basement is also a Parisian cultural heritage and cannot be modified casually.
Even if the owner wants to renovate, he must obtain approval from the Paris cultural authorities.
The French and Paris governments have no control over the other half of the basement.
Some of those places are storage rooms, some are warehouses, there are rest rooms, utility rooms, etc.
The warehouses and utility rooms are filled with Chinese antiques and artworks, mainly Chinese antique furniture and stone carvings.
Although there are several small and medium-sized surprises hidden among these Chinese antique cultural relics and works of art, they are all stored deep in the warehouse and will not be taken out for a while.
As far as Xiao Ran was concerned, it was not the right time to discover those things.
While he was talking, he walked into an employee lounge.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw it.
There are two mahogany cabinets on one wall of this lounge.
The surface of the cabinet was dirty, and there were a lot of sundries on it, placed in a mess.
In addition to these two mahogany cabinets, there is a wardrobe in the room, which is also Chinese-style furniture and also dirty.
Other furniture in the room, such as sofas and beds, are all Western-style furniture.
Seeing the situation in this room, Xiao Ran shook his head angrily.
"What a bastard who chews barley and wastes food. The two mahogany cabinets you see now are antique furniture from the mid-Qing Dynasty."
"It is made of nanmu and made in Beijing. It looks like the furniture that an official would bring with him when he marries his daughter. It has certain collection value."
"It's a pity that the French didn't know the goods and threw these two pieces of furniture here. Fortunately, the two pieces of furniture were not too damaged and can be packed away."
"As for this wardrobe, it comes from the late Qing Dynasty and is of slightly lower quality, but it can still be regarded as an antique piece of furniture and can be collected and played with."
Following his introduction, there was a burst of complaints in several live broadcast rooms.
At the same time, some fans also became interested in the two nanmu boxes and expressed their desire to buy these antique boxes from the mid-Qing Dynasty.
Xiao Ran did not immediately respond to everyone's request for acquisition.
He pretended to think for a while, then smiled and said:
"This pair of nanmu boxes from the mid-Qing Dynasty can be sold, but I have to wait until I finish dealing with Lu Qinzhai's treasure."
"I will conduct an auction in the live broadcast room at that time, including this pair of antique furniture. Interested fans can participate in the bidding at that time..."
While saying these words, his eyes quickly penetrated the ground and looked straight into the depths of the underground.
In a moment, his sight had penetrated four to five meters underground.
The next moment, a granite slab engraved with a tiger's head suddenly appeared in his field of vision.
The moment he saw the tiger head stone slab, a smile quickly flashed in Xiao Ran's eyes.
No need to ask, there is an unknown secret hidden under this granite slab with a tiger head carved on it.
And this is the most important reason why Xiao Ran spent a lot of money to buy the Red Mansion.
As for what secrets are hidden under this granite slab, he is not very sure, but he is willing to take risks.
Without any obstruction, his sight easily penetrated the stone slab deep underground.
What followed was a spiral staircase that spiraled downwards, extending deep into the underground and into the endless darkness.
Xiao Ran's gaze continued to extend downward along the spiral staircase and continued to explore.
Unfortunately, due to the special structure of the spiral staircase, when his sight reached about ten meters underground, he could no longer go deeper!
At this time, he only saw the entrance of an arched corridor sloping downwards, and could no longer see anything else.
At the entrance to the spiral staircase and arched corridor, there are several electric lights and some electrical wires.
The lights were not broken and the wiring looked fine other than being old.
But after 70 or 80 years, it is not certain whether these lighting equipment can continue to be used. It is probably very difficult!
Another point is that the spiral staircases and corridors hidden deep underground are all in Western style and are different from the red buildings on the ground.
The history of this spiral staircase and corridor is more than a hundred years older than the Red Tower.
It can be seen that these secret underground facilities have already existed.
Perhaps it was because he knew about the existence of these underground facilities that Lu Qinzhai bought this building that year.
Then the building on the ground was demolished and converted into a red building.
In this way, he can kill two birds with one stone.
The red building on the ground was his facade, making him the top antique dealer in the world at that time.
The secret space located deep underground can be used to hide some unknown secrets and even hide sins!
As for whether the legendary Lu Qinzhai treasure is hidden in this underground space, it is temporarily unknown.
Only by digging up the ground here and exploring inside can we know the answer.
There are no antiques or gold and silver treasures in this spiral staircase, so Xiao Ran will naturally not miss them.
He quickly looked through the spiral staircase, then looked away and looked elsewhere.
In about fifteen minutes, he took everyone to visit the underground floor.
Then he said through the tiny microphone:
"Okay, the visit to the Red Mansion is over, and today's live broadcast is coming to an end."
"It's already noon here, we're going to leave the Red Mansion and go back to the hotel for dinner."
"It's evening in China now. After watching the live broadcast, it's time to have dinner."
"In a few days, I will launch an exploratory operation in the Red Mansion, and I will broadcast live again at that time."
"Okay, let's stop here. See you next time for the live broadcast. The next live broadcast will be more exciting."
After saying that, he turned off the high-definition camera used for live broadcast.
Then he nodded to Fang Yufei and led everyone towards the first floor.
Fang Yufei picked up the walkie-talkie and informed the technical team to close several live broadcast rooms.
When they reached the first floor, Xiao Ran asked Liangzi and the others to go up to the third floor, take down Jin Nong's set of four landscape screens, and prepare to take them back to the hotel.
After they took down the four landscape screens, Xiao Ran left the red building.
As a result, as soon as his motorcade drove out, two old friends called him one after another.
