"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, good morning, I am..."
The White House spokesperson first greeted many media reporters present and introduced his identity, which are necessary procedures for some scenes.
Then, this guy got down to business and talked about things that everyone was concerned about.
“Let me tell you something. I believe everyone knows that in Paris, France, Steven, the boss of the Intrepid Exploration Company, discovered the Napoleon treasure in his newly purchased residence.
The Napoleon Treasure has been hidden for more than two hundred years. It has never been known to the public before. Once it was discovered, it caused a huge sensation. There are many priceless top antiques and artworks hidden in the Napoleon Treasure.
The two most valuable and important treasures are the two original editions of the Napoleonic Code, which are the earliest civil law codes in capitalist countries and the legislative norms of all bourgeois countries.
The Napoleonic Code, for the first time in the form of legal provisions, established the basic principle of the sanctity of private property as a capitalist country. It is of great significance and is extremely special.
Everyone knows what happened later. One of the first editions of the Napoleonic Code was purchased by Mr. Bernard, the richest man in France, for a huge sum of money. I believe it will be publicly displayed before long.
As for the other original version of the Napoleonic Code, Mr. Steven did not explain how to deal with it. Here I can tell you that the other code has been purchased by the US government!
After completing the acquisition, the original version of the "Code Napoleon" has been brought back to Washington by the staff of the U.S. Embassy in France, and is currently undergoing relevant research and necessary maintenance work.
Once these tasks are completed, the original version of the Napoleonic Code will be available to the public, displayed in rotation at the Supreme Court and the White House, and become an important asset owned by all the American people."
Before he finished speaking, the press conference was already in a state of complete excitement.
"Let me go! The original version of the Napoleonic Code was actually acquired by the US government. No need to ask, that guy Steven made a fortune again!"
"Of course! With that guy Steven's extremely greedy behavior, let alone the US government, not even God can take advantage of him!"
While people were talking and marveling, their emotions also varied.
After hearing this news, most Americans relatively approve of the government’s acquisition behavior. People are very aware of the importance of the original version of the Napoleonic Code!
It can be said that the basic principle of the sanctity of private property established in the Napoleonic Code, as well as other important principles, are closely related to everyone.
The significance of the Napoleonic Code to the entire capitalist society and all capitalist countries is equivalent to the historical significance of the Declaration of Independence to the United States. Can it not be important?
It is no exaggeration to say that the value of the two original editions of the Napoleonic Code cannot be measured in terms of money. They are completely priceless treasures!
Unlike Americans, in some places in France, bursts of extremely angry curses were inevitably heard, some cursing the French and American governments, and some cursing Ye Tian!
The French government responded quickly. At the same time as the White House spokesperson announced the news, they also announced a series of deals reached with the US government to calm public anger!
As for whether it will work and whether the French people who love protests and demonstrations will pay the bill, only God knows!
In the Brave Exploration Company in Rockefeller Center, there was a burst of excited cheers, and everyone was high-fiving each other and celebrating!
Sitting in the office, Ye Tian had a bright and proud smile on his face. Jason and David were high-fiving each other, and everyone was extremely excited.
What the White House spokesperson’s words mean is very clear to all company employees. It means a huge income. Is there anything more wonderful than this?
The facts are as expected!
At the White House press conference, several media reporters could not wait to raise their arms and began to ask questions loudly.
"According to information previously disclosed by Steven, France's Bernard spent a huge sum of 800 million euros to acquire the original version of the Napoleonic Code, which is astonishing!
So I would like to ask, how much did the U.S. government spend to acquire another original version of the Napoleonic Code? Presumably it won’t be less than 800 million euros, right? "
"One more thing, where did the funds to acquire the original version of the Napoleonic Code come from? From the treasury or somewhere else? Can you explain it?"
The White House spokesperson glanced at several media reporters who asked questions, and then gave an answer.
"Guys, you also know that guy Steven, even if it costs a penny less, he will not nod in agreement. Yes, the government also spent 800 million euros to acquire the original version of the Napoleonic Code!"
"Hahaha"
There was a burst of laughter at the press conference, and everyone nodded slightly, deeply agreeing with the White House spokesperson’s words.
The same goes for countless people in front of the TV. They laughed one after another and were extremely envious, even jealous.
When the laughter subsided, the White House spokesperson continued:
“The funds for the acquisition of this original version of the Napoleonic Code were divided into several parts. One part was a donation from several super-rich people in the United States, and the other part was a donation from the American Bar Association!
In addition, there is also a part of the fines and confiscations from art crimes. The funds actually borne by the government are less than a quarter. If converted, it is less than 200 million US dollars."
After hearing these words, both the many media reporters at the scene and the people in front of the live broadcast couldn't help but nodded.
The government only spent less than 200 million US dollars to obtain the original version of the "Code Napoleon", so what else can be said?
Some media reporters and the audience in front of the phone were even a little disappointed. It seemed that there was no way to make a fuss about this or to protest, and that **** Steven got an advantage in vain.
Next, the White House spokesperson answered two more questions about the original version of the Napoleonic Code before moving on to the next item.
"I would like to inform you of some important news. With the warm invitation of the White House, the current Pope of the Vatican and his entourage will visit the United States in three days for a ten-day visit!"
Unsurprisingly, the press conference was once again heated, as were the countless TV sets.
"Oh my God! The Pope is really coming to the United States, and he will stay in the United States for ten days. I must go and see the Pope with my own eyes. This opportunity is so rare!"
"Wow! Besides Boston, I don’t know which other cities the Pope and his entourage will visit. I hope New York is among them."
Hot discussions arose one after another. At the White House press conference and in almost every corner of the United States, everyone was extremely excited and full of expectations!
Although people have long known that the Pope is coming to the United States, they were still excited to hear the White House spokesperson confirm the matter and issue an official statement!
As for the White House spokesperson’s statement that the Pope and his entourage came to visit the United States because of the White House’s warm invitation, no one believed it at all.
That is just the White House trying to put money in its own face, and it is just a high-sounding official statement. Everyone knows exactly what is going on!
The reason why the Pope and his entourage came to the United States was entirely because of the two top works of art that caused a huge sensation, Raphael's "Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Lamentation of the Christ".
In order to get back the two top-notch works of art that had been lost for more than 200 years, the Pope had to agree to that guy Steven's request and come to the United States in person to preside over the wedding and send his blessing!
When I think of this, all Christian believers are almost crazy with envy and their eyes are red.
How could that extremely lucky **** Steven be able to invite the Pope to officiate the wedding? How great it would be if it were me!
When the scene became quieter, the White House spokesperson immediately continued:
"The first stop of the visit of the Pope and his entourage is Washington. During his stay in Washington, the Pope will visit the White House, have dinner with the President and his family, and then meet with religious figures.
After the visit in Washington, the Pope and his entourage will visit Boston and will personally preside over the wedding of Mr. Steven and Miss Betty and send them their best wishes.
Mr. President and Mrs. President will accompany the Pope and his entourage to Boston for a visit, and will attend the wedding of Mr. Steven and Miss Betty as invited guests..."
The press conference was detonated again, directly interrupting the White House spokesperson's speech, forcing him to temporarily stop.
It was the same in front of countless TV sets. Everyone was frightened by what they just heard. They stared at the TV screen in stunned silence, and even lost the ability to speak.
The Pope and the President attended the same wedding, and the Pope personally presided over the wedding. It was so awesome. I had never heard of such a thing before!
The Brave and Intrepid Exploration Company exploded, cheers resounded through the sky, and the ceiling almost fell down!
"Steven, what's going on? Didn't you say before that the president would also come to your and Betty's wedding? Could it be that he just made it up at the last minute? Isn't this unlikely?"
Jason asked excitedly, eyes full of curiosity.
Ye Tian and David looked at each other and smiled, then explained:
“The president’s coming to attend the wedding was an incidental requirement for the transfer of the Napoleonic Code. I just mentioned it casually at the time, but I didn’t expect the president to accept the invitation very happily.
Of course I can't refuse such a good thing, but it needs to be kept strictly confidential, so it is not announced to the public. The only people who know about it are Betty and I, as well as David and Matisse.
In fact, Betty's family, the guys who rushed to Boston to prepare for the wedding, many security personnel, and the staff of the wedding planning company learned the news yesterday.
Also due to confidentiality reasons, they cannot leak the information in advance to avoid causing unnecessary trouble. This is a requirement of the White House Secret Service, and everyone knows the specific reasons.
At noon yesterday, the Boston police and Secret Service personnel from Washington had contacted Cole and the others, and started various preliminary preparations in Boston..."
"I'll go! The scene of this wedding is really huge and jaw-dropping! How about Sophie and I join in the fun and hold the wedding in Boston? This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity!"
Jason said with emotion, his eyes almost flying out of his sockets, full of envy.
"Hahaha"
Both Ye Tian and David laughed heartily.
At this moment, the voice of the White House spokesperson came again and reached everyone's ears.
"After his visit to Boston, the Pope will visit New York. During his stay in New York,..."
With his words, cheers erupted from almost all parts of New York!
