MM Racing Chapter 884
Chapter 884
After leaving the Napoleon estate, Xiao Ran went directly to Barbizon, which was not far away.
During the visit, they not only saw beautiful scenery, but also made some surprising discoveries.
In an antique shop in Barbizon, Xiao Ran found a landscape painting by the famous Barbizon painter Trojan, as well as several other paintings.
In another small gallery, he found a painting by the Impressionist master Manet, as well as a work by the famous Impressionist female painter Morisot.
These discoveries made everyone very excited and swept away the previous depression.
Of course, gallerists and antique shop owners are frustrated and remorseful.
Xiao Ran stayed in Barbizon until about four o'clock in the afternoon before leaving with the harvest.
When they returned to their hotel in the 7th arrondissement, they received a flurry of good news.
Ryoko and they have successfully acquired several suburban villas of the Lu Qinzhai family, including two holiday villas in Cannes, but they have not yet paid.
Tomorrow they will travel to Cannes to visit the two holiday villas in Cannes.
When they return from Cannes, they will complete the follow-up procedures of these real estate transactions, such as payment and transfer of property rights.
In addition, the first acquisition group also gained.
A few of the residents of the apartment building on the east side of the Jardin du Luxembourg could not resist the temptation of high prices and agreed to transfer their apartments.
There are fewer and fewer remaining households who are still insisting, and it is only a matter of time before they all are won.
The acquisition of the two historic buildings near the Bastille has also quietly begun, and it is going very well!
The people who lived in those two historic buildings wished they had left the chaotic streets sooner.
I heard that someone is going to buy, where will they refuse!
For the work of the two acquisition teams, Xiao Ran is very satisfied.
But the acquisition is not yet complete, and the show has to continue.
In the next few days, Xiao Ran either continued to sweep the Paris antique art market, sweeping a large number of valuable and unknown antique works of art, and the harvest was amazing.
Or visit the major museums throughout Paris, admire the many antique works of art displayed in those museums, improve your eyesight and knowledge, and improve your strength by the way!
During this period, after several rounds of bargaining, he transferred half of the interest in the suspected underground treasure of the Hotel Renault to a wronged boss found by the French Ministry of Culture for a high price of 80 million euros.
After receiving that half of the equity, the French immediately launched further exploration operations and prepared to dig!
But where do they know what they will face next.
More than a week has passed as he spoke.
In addition to the famous Paris Red House, all the real estate targeted by Xiao Ran has been acquired.
The reason why the Red House is placed last is because it is a historical and cultural heritage of Paris and is a protected building.
Once the acquisition of the Red House is launched, it is bound to alarm the Paris city government and the French Ministry of Culture, which need to obtain relevant permits to complete the acquisition.
If the French Ministry of Culture and the Paris city government learned that the person preparing to buy the Red House was Xiao Ran, it would never be possible to agree to the acquisition plan.
Because of this, Xiao Ran arranged it this way.
Now that he has enough leverage, he doesn't worry about the Paris city government and the French Ministry of Culture getting in the way.
Around nine o'clock in the evening, the presidential suite.
Xiao Ran laughed and chatted while admiring the several paintings displayed in front of them.
At this time, there were several more easels in the living room with several oil paintings on them.
The paintings come from several properties of the Lu Qinzhai family, as well as the villas of Louis and others, including the classic work of the French classicist master Poussin, and the "Poet's Inspiration"
was completed with a series of acquisitions, which are now owned by Xiao Ran.
Logically, the antique artworks placed in those houses also all fell into his hands.
A solid wood easel in front.
Pierre and Caroline are studying The Poet's Inspiration with a magnifying glass, comparing it from time to time with the painting of the same name in the Louvre's collection!
The expressions of the two were exactly the same, and their eyes were full of incredulity and excitement.
You don't have to ask about the results!
After a moment, Caroline nodded excitedly and said:
"Yes, this is indeed the original work of the French classicist master Poussin, another
"Poet's Inspiration" "In the history of Western art, it is agreed that Poussin created a total of two "Poet's
Inspiration"" "Now it seems that he actually created three "Poet's Inspiration", and the third is here, this discovery is amazing!"
Before the words fell, Pierre immediately nodded and agreed:
"I also think that this is the authentic work of the classicist master Poussin, definitely a work of art
" "This painting is almost exactly the same as the Louvre's "Poet's Inspiration", or even better, but the scale is different!"
"There is no doubt that the discovery of this 'Poet's Inspiration' will definitely cause quite a stir,"
Speaking of this, he suddenly paused and turned his head to look at Xiao Ran.
"Sean, you're so lucky, but buying a country house is such an amazing discovery!"
"The value of this painting can be exchanged for dozens of country houses on the outskirts of Paris!"
For the sake of secrecy, many things Pierre did not know.
For Xiao Ran's series of acquisition actions, he only knows some fur.
As far as the "Poet's Inspiration" in front of him is concerned, compared with Lu Qinzhai's treasure and several other treasures, it is not worth mentioning, Xiao Ran did not put it in his eyes at all!
Those amazing treasures are Xiao Ran's purpose, and this top-notch artwork is just a small surprise with a piggyback!
Next, Xiao Ran briefly introduced the process of discovering this oil painting.
Of course, he withheld a lot of key information.
After the introduction, he handed over the academic research of the painting to Caroline and befriended his future mother-in-law.
For this gift, Caroline naturally liked it very much.
Excited, she directly came up and gave Xiao Ran a warm hug, grateful.
During this time, Caroline has made a name for herself in the field of art research by studying Lautrec's Memories of Love and Hate, as well as Jacques David and Delacroix's Portrait of Polina, which crosses time and space.
Her academic status in the field of Western art history research has also risen to the top!
Now another painting of the French classicist master Poussin's "Poet's Inspiration" will definitely bring her to a higher level in the academic circle and one step closer to the top of the academic pyramid!
After chatting for a while, Pierre suddenly asked:
"Sean, you have acquired so many properties in Paris, is it time to start exploring accordingly?"
"According to what I know about you, you sent someone to secretly buy so many real estates, definitely have a greater purpose"
Xiao Ran did not hide the old man's pole, and there was no need for that.
"That's true, Pierre, tomorrow I'm going to start the first exploration operation
" "If you are interested, you can come to the scene to see, maybe you will get some surprises!"
Before the words fell, Pierre already showed such an expression.
He nodded and said expectantly:
"That's no better, tomorrow I will come over and see what treasure you, God's darling, will find again!"
"By the way, Carlin, they will also start an operation tomorrow, leading people to excavate at the Reno Hotel
" "There are two archaeologists from the Louvre in the exploration team, both are my friends"
Hearing this, Xiao Ran suddenly paused.
Immediately afterwards, he said in a deep voice:
"Pierre, you better remind Carlin and the two archaeologists to be careful when digging
" "The metal objects buried deep under the Renault Hotel, I suspect may be a large number of weapons and equipment, and even bombs" "The location of the Renault Hotel
, during the Paris Commune revolution, seems to be one of the most important artillery positions of the National Guard."
Overlooking most of the main city of Paris from that location, it is undoubtedly the best artillery position, so be careful
" "Ah!"
There was an exclamation in the living room, and everyone was startled.
Especially Pierre and Caroline, their faces have changed!
After exclaiming, David and Elaine showed such an expression, and there was a little smile in their eyes.
Pierre's expression was a little solemn.
After a moment's thought, he said
, "Sean, did you guess that this was possible, so you sold half of your interest?"
Although this is the case, you can't admit it to death!
Xiao Ran shook his head with a smile, and then explained a few words.
"I also studied a lot of materials from the Paris Commune period to come up with this result
" "Since this is possible, then you must be more careful to avoid accidents!"
