As expected!
The preamble to the "Code Napoleon" that appeared in front of Ye Tian and everyone on the live broadcast was not the 6 articles commonly known by people, regarding the effective time of the code and so on.
The prefaces of these two "Napoleonic Codes" contain more content, no less than ten thousand words.
Although he didn't know French, Ye Tian already got an extremely accurate answer just by relying on the Arabic numerals in front of the paragraphs!
In fact, as early as when he entered this small underground secret room, he already knew everything about the situation here, including the time when the two Napoleonic Codes were born and their value!
Everything after that is just a performance, for others to see!
There is no doubt that this is the original version of the "Code Napoleon" that has never been released to the public and only exists in legend. It is truly a priceless treasure!
Especially in the eyes of people in the Western legal profession, the status of this "Code Napoleon" is probably no less than that of the "Bible"!
At this time, Antoine was looking directly at the "Code Napoleon" in Ye Tian's hand as if he were looking at the original "Bible", and he had fallen into a state of near madness!
The situation of Martinez next to her was not much better. He was holding the other codex with trembling hands, as if he had Perkins syndrome!
Looking at his performance, Ye Tian couldn't help but feel worried.
Can this old guy's body still hold up? Isn't it a sudden cerebral hemorrhage? Your heart won't burst suddenly, right? Don't drop that "Code Napoleon", or you'll be in big trouble!
"Oh my God! There are 39 articles in the preamble of this code. There is no doubt that this is the original version of the "Code Napoleon", a truly priceless treasure and a national treasure of France!"
Martinez murmured to himself, looking intoxicated.
At the same time, he also gently stroked the slightly yellowed paper and the words left more than two hundred years ago with his hands. His movements were extremely gentle, just like stroking the skin of his first love!
Antoine also stretched out his right index finger and began to touch the paper and text of the codex in Ye Tian's hand. Both his movements and expressions were very similar to Martinez, and he even appeared more obsessed!
People on the live broadcast side were awakened, and immediately after, the volcano began to erupt violently.
"Wow! This legendary original version of the Napoleonic Code actually exists, and it was hidden by Napoleon himself. It's incredible!"
“Today is so wonderful. Not only did I see Raphael’s “The Madonna” and Michelangelo’s “Lamentation of the Christ”, but I also saw the legendary original version of the “Code Napoleon”!
The only regret is that these priceless treasures fell into the hands of that **** Steven. How lucky that **** is, and how unfair God is! Why wasn't I the one who got these treasures? "
Just as people were exclaiming, in the presidential office of the Elysee Palace, the French president stood up again, walked quickly to the TV screen, and stared at the two Napoleonic Codes.
If anyone stood in front of him at this time, he would definitely be able to see that the French president's expression was extremely excited, his eyes were already red, and his eyes were full of envy, even jealousy, and greed!
"Continue to deploy additional security forces to strictly guard the Ile de la Cité, Avenue de Chanunes, and the Seine. No mistakes can be made. If the police force is insufficient, send the National Guard there!
Contact that **** Steven’s lawyer immediately and arrange a time as soon as possible. I want to talk face to face with that greedy **** Steven, in that historical building!
These two original editions of the Napoleonic Code are extremely precious. What Martinez just said is absolutely correct. These are French national treasures, and no one is allowed to take them away! "
The French president quickly issued the order with a firm tone that left no room for doubt!
As soon as he finished speaking, several of his subordinates immediately responded in unison:
"Okay, sir, we will arrange and contact Steven's **** lawyer immediately!"
At the same time, the person far away in the Oval Office of the White House in the United States was also watching the live broadcast and the two original versions of the "Code Napoleon" with bright eyes, with greed shining in his eyes!
Martinez woke up. He immediately turned to look at Ye Tian and said excitedly:
"Stephen, this is the original version of the Napoleonic Code. I am afraid that there are only two copies in the world that have been completely preserved to this day. They are both well-deserved French national treasures and extremely precious!
Here I implore you to keep these two original versions of the "Code Napoleon" in France and in Paris. This is where the "Code Napoleon" was born and where they should most exist!
I know that you are the top professional treasure hunter. This is your business. These two codes are your commodities. Since it is a business, we can discuss it. We can talk about how to trade these two codes! "
After saying this, Martinez stared at Ye Tian with great expectation, waiting for him to give an answer, hoping to hear the most beautiful answer!
Antoine next to him, as well as everyone in front of the live broadcast, were all staring at Ye Tian to see what answer he would give!
Ye Tian did not answer immediately. He handed the Napoleon Code to the eager Antoine, and then turned to look at Martinez.
"Martinez, it's too early to talk about this now. After the exploration and cleanup work is completed, let's sit down and talk about the transaction of these two Napoleonic Codes!
You are right, treasure hunting is my business. If you can meet the conditions I set, I don't mind leaving these two Napoleonic Codes in France and Paris!
If you can't accept my conditions, then I'm very sorry. I can only find another buyer. I believe there will be many top collectors willing to collect these two "Code Napoleon""
Ye Tian chuckled and shook his head and said, showing his fangs again, without any concealment!
After hearing his words, everyone took a breath of air.
There is no doubt that the French are in bad luck! He will definitely be stabbed so hard by this **** Steven that all the French will tremble with fear!
There was silence for a moment in front of the live broadcast, and then a burst of extremely angry and crazy curses broke out, mainly from countless French people who were going crazy!
The same goes for Martinez, who was in the underground secret room, holding the Napoleonic Code in his hand. He was so angry that his eyes were spitting fire, and he wished he could eat the **** in front of him alive!
But he could only suppress his anger and said in as gentle a tone as possible:
"Stephen, I can tell you here with great certainty that these two original editions of the Napoleonic Code will definitely be included in the list of restricted departures, and you will never leave France with them!"
Ye Tian smiled softly and said calmly:
"It doesn't matter, I have thought of this kind of thing a long time ago, it is inevitable, but don't forget, this historical building belongs to me, I can completely store the two "Code Napoleon" here!
Of course, it is very unsafe to store them here and will attract countless coveted eyes, but there are many famous banking and insurance institutions in Paris that can also be used to preserve these two codes.
I would like to emphasize that as long as these two original editions of the Napoleonic Code were not obtained from me through legal transactions, they will be illegal wherever they appear and will not see the light of day! "
After hearing this, Martinez was immediately dumbfounded, as was everyone on the live broadcast.
The reappearance of these two original copies of the Napoleonic Code was so high-profile that everyone now knows that they belong to that **** Steven.
As long as it is not a legal transaction, if anyone or any country obtains these two codes, it is impossible to make them public, let alone trade them publicly, which will only cause huge trouble!
Of course, it will also trigger **** revenge from that **** Steven. How many people can bear that kind of result?
Before everyone could react, Ye Tian took the "Code Napoleon" from Antoine's hand, opened it again, and said with a smile as he turned it over:
"As we all know, the Napoleonic Code is very rich in content and is still in use today. It is the foundation of all French laws, and the laws of other bourgeois countries also come from it!
In the past two hundred years, with the changes in France's politics, economy, national conditions and other aspects, the "Code Napoleon" has been revised more than a hundred times, and some outdated content has been changed.
However, the fundamental principle of this code has never changed, which is the protection of the sanctity of private property. One-third of the articles in the code emphasize the inviolability of private property!
This is exactly the purpose of Napoleon organizing legal experts to compile and formulate this code. It is to protect the most fundamental achievements of the French Revolution and the foundation of all capitalist countries!
If I remember correctly, Article 537 of the Code clearly stipulates that ‘private persons may freely dispose of property belonging to them’. The meaning of this sentence is probably not difficult to understand, so I will not explain it.
Article 544 stipulates that ‘ownership is the absolute and unrestricted right to use, benefit from and dispose of private property’, which guarantees absolute individual private ownership and is also unquestionable.
As we all know, these two original versions of the Napoleonic Code are now my private property. I have absolute right to dispose of them. As long as they are within the legal scope, no one can interfere, including the French government!
France is the place where the Napoleonic Code was born. All French people are proud of this first civil code in a capitalist country, and all French laws are based on it!
In my opinion, the French government and the French people should abide by the Napoleonic Code and understand the fundamental principle of the sanctity of private property, otherwise it would be too hypocritical! "
While making his impassioned speech, Ye Tian also opened the "Code Napoleon" in his hand, quickly flipped to the corresponding articles, and displayed those articles in front of everyone.
Listening to his words and looking at the laws written in black and white, everyone in front of the live broadcast was completely dumbfounded!
Especially the French were petrified in an instant and fell into a state of near dementia!
Is this called cocooning oneself? How to play this?
This **** **** Steven is too cunning! Impeccable!
