Anderson opened the door of this ancient building smoothly. After identifying himself and chatting for a few words, the owner immediately agreed to Anderson's request to visit the ancient building.
This building is located next to the famous Notre Dame de Paris and has a very long history. It is an architectural work of art in itself. Many people must have come here to ask to visit it in the past.
The homeowner must have been used to this situation, thinking that Anderson was just another curious tourist, so he nodded in agreement!
But when the homeowner saw Ye Tian walking to the door, he immediately froze on the spot, with a bit of fear and deep regret in his eyes!
It was only then that he realized that this was no ordinary group of tourists, but a group of guys who could destroy his apartment building or even the whole of Paris. Everyone was ruthless and extremely tough!
The moment he saw Ye Tian, the homeowner immediately thought of the scene he saw on live TV two days ago, in which Ye Tian dragged the body of the Pink Panther boss from the bottom of the Seine River to the river bank step by step. .
For all Parisians, it was an extremely **** and terrifying scene, and it even became a nightmare for many people, and this homeowner was no exception!
When thinking of the scene he saw on live TV a few days ago, the owner of this apartment building couldn't help but shiver secretly, and his legs felt a little weak!
"How unlucky it is that it's Steven and his bunch of crazy American bastards. If I had known it was them, I would have killed me and not opened the door!"
While cursing secretly, the homeowner was about to take back what he had just said and refuse Ye Tian's request to visit this ancient building.
Ye Tian got ahead of him and said with a spring breeze:
"Good morning, sir, excuse me for interrupting you. I am Steven, from New York, USA. Nice to meet you. This apartment building is so beautiful and pleasing to the eye!"
As he spoke, Ye Tian extended his right hand to the homeowner, acting very friendly!
Don’t hit someone with a smiling face. This is a wise saying in any country, and France is no exception!
As soon as Ye Tian came up, he threw out such a bunch of compliments and his attitude was impeccable. His purpose was to silence the homeowner!
Faced with this situation, the landlord could only shake hands with Ye Tian and said with a smile:
"Good morning, Mr. Steven, I have long known you. I am Clement, the owner of this apartment building. Welcome to Paris for a visit. I am also very happy to meet you!
Thank you for your compliment. This is an old building with a long history. It is indeed beautiful. It is a great honor for me to own this beautiful Renaissance style building! "
When he said these words, Clément felt a little uneasy, but also a little proud, very contradictory!
Before he finished speaking, Ye Tian had already picked up the conversation, not giving the other party a chance to refuse everyone to go in and visit!
"It seems that you have done a lot of research on this ancient building, Mr. Clément. This is indeed a Renaissance-style building, and it is an early Renaissance style that is relatively rare in Paris!
You must also know, Mr. Clement, that I am an expert in antiques and an expert in appraising antique art. I like all antique art that reflects the history of human beings and the progress of civilization!
It includes historical buildings built in various historical periods and various artistic styles. As soon as I walked here and saw this apartment building, I couldn't help but fall in love with it!
If possible, I would like to walk into this apartment building and take a good look at this ancient building instead of just looking at its facade, which would be a pity!
Of course, this requires your permission. Even if you charge for this, it is a matter of course. I am very happy to pay to enjoy such a beautiful and ancient historical building! "
Having said this, what else can Clement say?
How much he wanted to reject the Yankees in front of him! But he couldn't say no. Deep in his heart, he was somewhat afraid that Ye Tian would turn around and find trouble.
After a moment of hesitation, Clément gritted his teeth and stamped his feet, nodding and agreeing to Ye Tian's request to come in for a visit.
Next, Ye Tian introduced a few companions around him, and then followed Clément and walked into this ancient historical building as he wished.
In addition to Betty and Anderson, there were also Matisse, Taylor and Lisa who walked into this historical building with Ye Tian, a total of six people!
The rest of the security personnel stayed outside the door. They quickly dispersed and became alert. The eyelids of the Paris policemen not far away jumped!
Many Paris policemen who witnessed all this were very curious and wondered why Ye Tian only knocked on the door of this apartment building and entered the building to visit. Is there any purpose?
How did they know that what Ye Tian was really interested in was not this ancient building, although it was indeed beautiful and rare to see in Paris!
Ye Tian’s real goal is the secret buried deep underground in this historical building, the secret closely related to Napoleon!
While entering the apartment building and admiring its internal layout and decoration, Ye Tian pretended to be curious and asked:
"Mr. Clément, can you tell us about the history of this ancient building? I am very interested. This building is very close to Notre Dame de Paris. If I am not wrong, they must be related, right?
Given the location and elegant layout of this building, it must have been the residence of princes, nobles, wealthy businessmen, or priests. It is basically impossible for ordinary people to own it. Are your ancestors French aristocrats? "
Clement turned to look at Ye Tian, then nodded and said:
"You are right, Steven, this ancient building is indeed related to Notre Dame de Paris. Before the outbreak of the French Revolution, this was an annex of Notre Dame de Paris!
After the outbreak of the French Revolution and at the beginning of the 19th century, this building was nationalized and became the property of the French government. To be precise, it belonged to Emperor Napoleon! "
Hearing this, Ye Tian's eyes immediately flashed with a hint of ecstasy, but no one noticed it!
Sure enough, it has something to do with Napoleon! And it was very likely that it was Napoleon's private property. Speaking of nationalization, the whole of France was Napoleon's private property at that time!
While feeling ecstatic, Ye Tian continued to be a loyal listener, admiring this ancient building while listening to Clément's explanation.
"After the overthrow of the First French Empire, the owner of this ancient building changed again. It did not return to Notre Dame, but became the private property of a famous businessman at the time!
Years of foreign wars have brought the defeated France to the brink of collapse. In order to alleviate the stretched national finances, a number of government assets were put up for auction, including this building!
It was at a public auction that the famous businessman from the south of France bought this building and used this ancient Renaissance-style building as his residence in Paris.
Unfortunately, the good times did not last long. Less than ten years later, the famous businessman died of typhoid fever. His children and grandchildren were all incompetent. It did not take long for those guys to completely destroy the huge family business. .
After the July Revolution of 1830, a famous revolutionary moved in here and became the new owner of this ancient building. He was later driven away with a gun by another revolutionary.
In the surging revolutionary wave that followed, this ancient building kept changing its owners, witnessing one of the most passionate and exciting revolutionary years in French history.
It was not until the end of the 19th century that the place settled down. The new owner was a slightly famous painter in France at that time. He spent the rest of his life quietly here until his death!
Then it went through two more owners, and in the early 1950s, my grandfather paid for the old building and became the new owner of the apartment building.
Our family has been living here since then. Until now, we are not nobles or rich people, we are just ordinary citizens. The reason why we can own this building is really a fluke!
However, we can no longer afford to live in this apartment building. The **** property taxes in France are so high that I have to rent out some of the rooms! ..."
As he spoke, Clément complained, with a very forced smile on his face.
But these words sounded to Ye Tian’s ears as if they were the sounds of nature, extremely beautiful!
You can’t afford the high property taxes, but you can. Not only can you, but you are also very happy to take over this hot potato!
While they were talking, they had already entered the living room on the first floor of the apartment building.
