After the long and passionate kiss, Ye Tian and Betty sat down, drinking coffee and chatting in a low voice.
On the other side, Martinez and Antoine were surrounded by everyone, and they were excitedly introducing the situation in the underground secret room, and they were frothing at the mouth!
After chatting with Betty for a few words, Anderson came over, came to Ye Tian and said in a low voice:
"Steven, since the beginning of the exploration, as antiques and artworks from Napoleon's treasures have appeared one after another, many famous museums and top collectors have called and expressed their interest in purchasing them.
Among them are the Metropolitan Museum of Art, MOMA, the National Gallery of Art, the Getty Museum, etc., all of which have expressed strong interest in the top antique artworks in Napoleon's treasures.
Especially the two original editions of the "Code Napoleon", as well as Raphael's "Icono Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Lamentation of the Christ", they have expressed their willingness to acquire them at any cost!
In addition, some top collectors, such as several old friends who have dealt with it before, Leon and Peter from the United States, and Bernard from France, have also expressed their strong willingness to acquire.
Especially Bernard, who expressed on the phone that he was willing to acquire the two original editions of the Napoleonic Code, the works of Raphael and Michelangelo, and several other top works of art at any cost.
Bernard is on vacation in Spain. When he made the call just now, his private plane was preparing to take off. He must have arrived in Paris by now, and he will be here soon!
According to your instructions, I told everyone on the phone that everything will wait until the exploratory operation is completed and the necessary procedures are completed. At that time, you will contact them in person to negotiate related art transactions! "
After listening to the report, Ye Tian immediately smiled and nodded.
"Yes, this can only be arranged for the time being. If nothing goes wrong, many of these top-notch antiques and artworks found in Napoleon's treasures will be included in the list of restricted departures and will not be taken out of France!
In particular, the two original editions of the "Napoleonic Code", as well as Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Lamentation of the Christ" will all be included in the list of art works restricted from leaving the country.
It's easy for top collectors to fly to Paris to buy and store top antiques and art in villas or castles in France without leaving the country with those treasures.
But famous museums like the Metropolitan have no choice unless they can open up all the links and get the French government to nod and let them leave the country with relevant top antiques and artworks!
Of course, Bernard is not included here. He is French and lives in Paris. Naturally, he will not leave the country with those top antiques and artworks. There is no harm in meeting this old friend! "
Next, Anderson reported some other situations, as well as the current situation inside and outside Ile de la Cité.
While talking, Perry, the U.S. Ambassador to France, and the cultural counselor of the embassy came over.
After arriving and standing in front of Ye Tian, Perry immediately said excitedly:
"Congratulations again, Steven, for discovering such a huge treasure and harvesting so many top-notch antiques. You are so lucky that you can go crazy with envy!"
Ye Tian was not polite at all, he smiled and nodded and said:
"My luck has always been good, and this time is no exception. I am very lucky to have discovered Napoleon's treasure that has been hidden for more than two hundred years, as well as the priceless top antiques and artworks in the treasure!"
With that said, Ye Tian asked Perry and the others to sit down.
After sitting down and chatting for a while, Perry got down to business. The guy lowered his voice and said:
"Steven, I just received a call from the Oval Office of the White House. If possible, Mr. President would like you to bring the original version of the Napoleonic Code back to the United States and to New York!
The significance of the two original versions of the Napoleonic Code is too great. They are not only national treasures of France, but they can be called national treasures of any capitalist country.
If you cannot bring both "Code Napoleon" back to the United States, then at least one must be brought back. How to handle this matter, our embassy in France will do its best to assist!
It doesn’t matter even if you use diplomatic privileges to take them out of France. Once the original version of the Napoleonic Code arrives in the United States, the government will immediately come forward to purchase it and will never treat you badly.
After the government comes forward to acquire it, the original version of the "Code Napoleon" will be placed in the corresponding locations in the White House and the Federal Supreme Court for public display so that everyone can see it with their own eyes!
In addition to the original version of the Napoleonic Code, there are also more than a dozen boxes of documents and materials about Napoleon. They are also extremely precious and of great research value. I hope you can bring them back to New York!
Of course, it would be great if you could bring Raphael's "Madonna", Michelangelo's "Lamentation of the Christ", and other top antique artworks back to the United States! "
"Ouch! The man in the Oval Office is quite ambitious!"
Ye Tian exclaimed in a low voice with an exaggerated expression, and then joked:
“It is simply impossible to openly leave Paris with the two original editions of the Napoleonic Code and documents about Napoleon’s glorious career that could rewrite the history of the French Revolution!
Those are undisputed French national treasures. How could the French government allow me to take those treasures back to the United States? If they really dare to do that, then wait until they are completely drowned by the surging spit of the French people!
Don’t even think about it. The two original editions of the Napoleonic Code and those extremely important documents will be included in the list of antiques and artworks restricted from leaving the country. Maybe it has become a fact now!
Once they are included in the list of people restricted from leaving the country, I will never blatantly break the law, take them away by force or secretly, or take advantage of the diplomatic privileges of the embassy staff in France to leave with them.
If we do that, the embassy diplomats are protected by diplomatic immunity and nothing will happen, but I will get into huge trouble. Even if I can leave France smoothly this time, I will never even think about setting foot in Europe in the future! "
After hearing these words, Perry was immediately speechless. For a moment, he didn’t know what to say!
At the same time, a look of fear flashed across his eyes.
As expected, it is exactly as in the legend. This **** Steven is so cunning. He is smarter than a monkey when it comes to hair. No one can take advantage of him, not even the guy in the Oval Office!
Ye Tian looked at Perry and the cultural counselor of the embassy, and then continued:
"This matter is not unworkable. The French President will come here later to interview me. No need to ask, he is here for the original version of the Napoleonic Code and those documents!"
"Ah! The French President will be here later? Did I hear correctly?"
Perry exclaimed in a low voice, the news was obviously a bit beyond his expectation.
When he received a call from the French President's Office, for safety reasons and to keep confidentiality, Anderson did not announce the news. He only informed Ye Tian and Mattis, and no one else knew!
Ye Tian nodded slightly and gave an affirmative answer.
"Yes, Perry, you heard it right, the French President will be here soon, along with the French Minister of Culture and other entourage, which is why I returned to the living room early.
At that time, you can participate in the talks and make a request as the U.S. Ambassador to France to ask the French government to agree to let me leave France with the original version of the Napoleonic Code and those documents.
Of course, the French President will definitely not agree to this request, but we can do the next best thing and at least let me take one of the original editions of the Napoleonic Code back to New York!
This goal is still possible to achieve. If everything goes well, when I return to New York with the Napoleonic Code, I won't mind selling it to the US government as long as the price is reasonable! "
After finishing speaking, Perry and the cultural counselor of the embassy rolled their eyes and complained secretly.
“The person in the Oval Office of the White House still wants to use this guy Steven to get the original version of the Napoleonic Code and those extremely precious documents. Apparently he is overthinking it!
In such a blink of an eye, this **** once again put his idea on our heads and asked us to mediate with the French government to obtain the greatest interests for him!
Even if we persuade the President of France, whether the man in the White House can finally get what he wants depends on whether the price can satisfy the **** in front of us. We are just a bunch of stupid boys! "
Thinking of this, Perry and the Cultural Counselor couldn't help feeling angry, but they were helpless. Who knew that the person sitting in front of them was Ye Tian? The initiative was all in his hands!
At this moment, Matisse suddenly walked into the living room and quickly came to Ye Tian's side.
"Stephen, the advance personnel of the French President have arrived. They are all presidential guard security personnel in plainclothes. They ask to enter the building for security inspection!"
"It doesn't matter, just let them check. This is the President of France. Security check is essential. You take a few guys and Antoine to check with the guys from the presidential guard!
In addition to the basement under the living room and the underground secret room deep underground, other places can be inspected. You should also be careful and don't forget to wear a micro camera! "
Ye Tian said with a smile and quickly made arrangements.
"Okay, Steven, leave these things to us, we will be more careful!"
Mattis nodded in response, then turned and left the living room.
