After communicating with Ambassador Zhang and the others, Xiao Ran went to the master bedroom bathroom upstairs to wash up.
This country villa has just been vacant for a few days. All living facilities are available and fully functional. It is a good time to take advantage of it.
After about fifteen minutes, Xiao Ran had finished washing and disinfecting, changed into clean clothes, and walked downstairs.
Afterwards, he went into the restaurant to eat again.
The dinner he had was Chinese food just cooked by the team's private chef. It was delicious, delicious and safe.
Meanwhile, outside in the garden.
Many company employees who are preparing to enter the underground corridor to carry out subsequent cleaning and transportation work are making various preparations.
Various equipment used for cleaning and moving work are being transported to this country villa in batches, and everyone is busy!
In the restaurant, Xiao Ran was discussing Lu Qinzhai's treasure with Elaine and the others while eating.
At this time, the live broadcast was temporarily stopped.
But countless domestic fans still stayed up late in the live broadcast room, watching previous exploration videos, waiting for the live broadcast to start again.
Older experts like Shan Lao and Jin Lao have all gone back to rest. They can only wait until it’s daylight in China to recharge their spirits before continuing to watch the live broadcast!
While talking, David suddenly walked into the restaurant.
"Sean, that guy Henry just called again and asked to come here to meet with you to discuss something."
"Obviously, this guy still hasn't given up. He definitely wants to talk to you about acquiring that weird bronze mask. What do you think?"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran immediately stopped his chopsticks.
After thinking for a moment, he nodded helplessly and said:
"Okay, let them come, but only three people can come, Henry, Lawrence and Carlin"
"As for the French Deputy Minister of Culture and others, I am not interested in meeting them yet."
David nodded immediately.
"Okay, Sean, I'll notify Anthony and let Henry and the others come over."
After saying that, he turned around and left the restaurant.
In just five or six minutes, Henry and the three of them had arrived at this country villa, and they were all very familiar old friends.
At this time, Xiao Ran had finished dinner and was sitting in the living room drinking coffee and chatting with Elaine and the others.
The first time they entered the door, Henry and the others looked at the Sanxingdui Civilization Bronze Zongmu Mask placed on the floor!
The moment they saw the bronze mask, the eyes of the three French guys suddenly lit up, shining brightly, and everyone's eyes were full of greed!
They are very aware of the huge value of this national treasure-level antique cultural relic, and they can't wait to rush forward to take this national treasure-level cultural relic into their arms and take it as their own!
Seeing their greedy performance, Xiao Ran couldn't help but chuckle.
The next moment, he reminded the three guys with a smile.
"Gentlemen, I heard that you strongly requested to see me. I wonder what happened to you? I would like to know more."
Following his words, Henry and the others finally remembered what they were doing.
The next moment, Henry said with envy:
"Sean, you are so lucky that you actually found the Lu Qinzhai treasure and found so many priceless treasures."
"I said before that the reason why you came to Paris was for the treasure of Lu Qinzhai, and now it's all come true!"
Immediately afterwards, Carlin continued:
"Sean, your series of actions since coming to Paris are all for today's amazing discovery, right?"
"That's why you quietly bought all the real estate of the Lu Qinzhai family, and through some ingenious means, you got the Ministry of Culture and our city government to agree to sell the Red Building."
"When you successfully take over all the real estate and red buildings of the Lu Qinzhai family, then let go and start exploring the treasures, and the goal is clear!"
“On the first day, such an amazing treasure was discovered”
Xiao Ran looked at these three old friends and said proudly:
"Gentlemen, things have come to this point. It is meaningless to talk about these things now!"
"Let's not talk about my previous layout, just talk about the current things, that will be more practical!"
Henry and the others were stunned for a moment, and they all felt bitter at the same time.
Then, they looked at each other, and then Henry said:
"Sean, the reason why we are anxious to see you is to discuss with you the exchange of this Sanxingdui Civilization Bronze Zongmu Mask!"
"As far as I know, this is the only bronze longitudinal mask of the Sanxingdui Civilization that appears outside China. It is very precious and has extremely high historical and cultural research value!"
"If possible, we at the Louvre would like to exchange this treasure. As for the exchange chips, we can discuss it..."
Before he could finish speaking, Xiao Ran shook his head and interrupted him.
Then, he said in an unusually firm tone:
"Gentlemen, you don't need to think about this at all. I will not transfer this national treasure bronze mask to any individual or museum, so don't waste your breath!"
"I plan to collect this national treasure antique cultural relic myself. This priceless treasure will be displayed in my private museum for everyone to appreciate and study."
"Now that you are here, you can take this opportunity to appreciate this treasure, but you are not allowed to take pictures, and don't mention the transaction anymore!"
Although they had expected this result, Henry and the others were still filled with regret and unwillingness when they heard Xiao Ran refuse so simply.
And they gave up soon and wanted to try again.
"What if we are willing to exchange a large amount of Chinese antiques and cultural relics from the collection? Are you still unwilling to trade?"
Unfortunately, the answer they received was still the same.
"I said, I will not discuss the transaction regarding this priceless treasure."
"Even if you exchange the Mona Lisa, I will not agree to this deal."
Xiao Ran firmly rejected the transaction request.
Hearing what he said, Henry and the others immediately gave up!
The three of them looked at each other quickly, and then nodded helplessly.
"Okay, Sean, since you are so determined, let's not mention this matter!"
"As you said, we are already here, and we just want to take this opportunity to appreciate this priceless treasure!"
"Don't worry, we won't take photos casually, and we don't wear surveillance equipment."
After the words fell, Xiao Ran smiled and nodded.
"Well, gentlemen, you can enjoy it as you wish."
As he spoke, he raised his hand and made a gesture of invitation.
The next moment, Henry and the others immediately walked towards the Sanxingdui Civilization Bronze Zongmu Mask, admiring it endlessly.
At the same time, Paris' 8th arrondissement.
Several cars sped through the night and stopped under a luxury apartment building.
Immediately afterwards, several officials from the French Ministry of Culture and the Paris City Government got out of these vehicles and walked directly into this luxury apartment building!
A few minutes later, they came to the door of Mrs. Henyal's apartment and knocked on the door.
The door opened quickly and when they saw the situation in the apartment, these French government officials were all dumbfounded and froze on the spot.
In this luxurious apartment, reporters from the American NBC TV station and French TV station 2 were jointly interviewing Mrs. Henyard.
In addition to reporters from two well-known TV stations, there were also a French lawyer and an American lawyer on site.
It was the American lawyer who opened the door.
This guy looked at the French government officials outside the door and introduced the situation with a smile.
"Good evening, gentlemen, I am Mr. Sean's lawyer, Fisher, nice to meet you gentlemen"
"Due to the discovery of a treasure in Mrs. Henyal's former residence, Mr. Sean entrusted us to express condolences and promised to give Mrs. Henyal a solitary payment of 1 million euros."
"To ensure openness and transparency, we also brought reporters from two TV stations to interview Mrs. Henyal."
"I just don't know. Where are you gentlemen from? Can you introduce them?"
Listening to Fisher's introduction, all the French government officials had wonderful expressions on their faces.
Their faces turned blue and white, and finally turned black, as ugly as if their biological father had just died!
