Chapter 1554: Depressed Frenchman
After getting to know each other, the French president immediately lowered his voice and said:
"Mr. Steven, I must emphasize that the treasures of Napoleon belong to France and belong to all the people of France. I hope you can keep them in France!
Especially the two first editions of "Napoleon's Code" and those documents about Napoleon, they are too important to leave France! "
When he said these words, his face always bloomed with a gentle smile, it looked like he was chatting with a long-lost friend!
Antoine, who was in charge of the translation next to him, immediately translated this passage, not bad!
Ye Tian also responded with a bright smile, but his answer was categorical and beyond doubt.
"Mr. President, it is undeniable that the treasure of Napoleon really belonged to France more than two hundred years ago, belongs to all the French people, and is the common wealth of all people in this country!
But as early as the early nineteenth century, after this historic building was publicly auctioned and successfully sold, Napoleon's treasure no longer belonged to France. The moment the auction hammer fell, it became private property!
After changing hands several times, this building has become my private property today, and the treasure of Napoleon buried deep underground has also been successfully owned by me. This is indisputable!
I understand the French government and people’s desire to leave Napoleon’s treasure, and I am happy to see it happen, but it depends on the quotations you made. I hope that the results will be very happy! "
Hearing this, the French president's expression immediately fell cold, and a trace of anger flashed across his eyes.
The same goes for the Frenchmen standing next to him, everyone is angry, but helpless!
Knowing that this is not a place to talk, and that there is no reason to talk about it, the French president changed the subject very wisely, so as not to froze the atmosphere!
Then after a few words of greetings and some nonsense nonsense, Ye Tian and the French president introduced the people around each other.
The old French man in his 50s and 60s is the French Minister of Culture, in addition to a legal adviser in the president's office, and an assistant.
Ye Tian shook hands with these French guys one by one, introduced himself, his face was always filled with enthusiasm, and his performance was impeccable.
Later, Ye Tian led the French president and his party into the gate and disappeared from the street of Shannones!
After entering this historical building, Ye Tian, as the owner, briefly introduced this early Renaissance style building to these French people, and expressed his appreciation for the city protection measures in Paris!
After listening to his introduction, the French president and his party felt so depressed, but there was nowhere to vent!
The treasure of Napoleon was hidden in Paris under the eyes of countless French people for more than two hundred years, but no one found it. In the end, the greedy **** Steven was bought for nothing!
Thinking of this, the French president couldn't help but feel distressed and out of breath!
Not only him, but all other French people are the same. Some people even hate the Clemens family who sold this historic building!
While talking, everyone has entered the living room.
Next, naturally there was another introduction and greeting. Ye Tian introduced everyone in the living room.
Just like when he was outside, the French president was very approachable. He greeted everyone with a smile and shook hands.
This is a politician, and one of the highest politicians!
After finishing these superficial efforts, after everyone took their seats, the eyes of the French president and his entourage immediately fell on the portable alloy safe beside Ye Tian.
In previous live broadcasts, this portable safe has appeared before, so these French people all know and know what's in it.
Without any hesitation, as soon as he sat down on the sofa, the French president pointed to the portable safe and said:
"Steven, what's in this safe should be the two first editions of the Napoleonic Code? Can you take them out and let us enjoy them?
If possible, after the talks are over later, I would like to go to the secret room located deep underground to see the precious documents and other top antique works of art! "
Hearing this, everyone on the scene looked at Ye Tian, and everyone's eyes were extremely hot and full of expectation!
Except for Ye Tian himself, Martinez and Antoine, everyone else in the living room has only seen the two original "Napoleonic Codes" on the live screen, and they have never seen them in person!
For these two priceless treasures of great significance, who wouldn't want to see it with their own eyes, even Martinez and Antoine would like to appreciate these two French national treasures again!
Ye Tian looked at the French president, then glanced at the crowd, then smiled and nodded and said:
"It's better to be respectful. Since Mr. President and everyone here want to appreciate these two initial editions of the Napoleonic Code, I can't let everyone down.
As for the visit to the underground secret room, there is no problem, but before going down, you must wear a full set of protective equipment, after all, it has been closed for more than two hundred years! "
With that said, Ye Tian reached out and picked up the portable alloy safe, gently placed it on the coffee table, then pressed his fingerprint and entered the password to open the solid safe!
What immediately appeared in front of everyone was not the two first editions of the Napoleonic Code, but a piece of gray moisture-proof oil paper.
The movement of Ye Tian's hand stopped, he turned his head and said to Taylor beside him:
"Taylor, go and turn on the wall lights, and then close the curtains of all windows, try not to let natural light in, so as not to damage the two codes!
The two first editions of the "Napoleonic Code" have been hidden in the basement for more than two hundred years, and they have become somewhat fragile. We must be extremely cautious"
"Ok, Steven"
Tyler nodded in response, and acted immediately.
Seeing Ye Tian's arrangement, the French president and his entourage could not help but nod lightly, a rare light of appreciation appeared in their eyes!
In a blink of an eye, the living room dimmed, leaving only the light of the wall lamp on and the light was very soft.
Even NBC TV and two other news media were very cooperative and extinguished their respective spotlights.
The lighting conditions were suitable, and Ye Tian took out two pairs of white gloves. One pair was handed to the President of France, the other was put on his own hand, and he explained:
"The two "Napoleonic Codes" are extremely important historical documents, and they have been hidden in the basement for a long time. In order to avoid damage to them by sweat on your hands, you must wear gloves when looking through them!"
"Okay, Steven"
The French president nodded in response, then put on those white gloves.
Afterwards, Ye Tian gently uncovered the moisture-proof oil paper and showed the original "Napoleonic Code" covered underneath to everyone!
The moment they saw the blue velvet cover of "Napoleon's Code", all the French people on the scene cheered excitedly.
"Wow! The binding of this "Napoleon's Code" is so beautiful. I have only heard of this version before, but I have never seen it before. I didn't expect it to exist. It is incredible!"
"There is no doubt that this is a well-deserved French national treasure, and one of the most precious exhibits left by the French Revolution!"
Just as these French people were full of emotion, Ye Tian carefully took out a "Napoleonic Code" from the safe and handed it to the French president, making this person enjoyable too!
"Mr. President, this is the original version of the Napoleonic Code. It took four and a half years and 102 seminars to be completed by famous legal experts such as Portalis!
This is the greatest revolutionary achievement of the magnificent French Revolution, and it is also the most proud achievement of Napoleon's life. From the day of his birth, it has radiated a bright light.
Open the cover of this blue velvet, and you can see the name of this code. In the preamble of the code, it is the 39 legendary content, which is different from the code promulgated and implemented after deletion.
On the last page of the code, you will also find a huge surprise, where there are the signatures of the drafting committee of four headed by Portalis, and the autograph of Napoleon! "
Before the words were over, the scene immediately boiled, and all the French exclaimed in excitement~www.wuxiaspot.com~Gosh! The signatures of the four-person drafting committee and Napoleon's autographs have never appeared in other "Napoleonic Codes", or even heard of them! "
"Yes, this is definitely the first time that this situation has been discovered. The "Napoleonic Code" collected by the National Library is only signed by Portalis!"
In the exclamation, Martinez and Antoine all looked at Ye Tian, their eyes called a pity!
When he was in the underground secret room before, Ye Tian didn't show them the situation of the last page of the code. He glanced at it and hurriedly closed the code!
How do they know that there are such important secrets hidden on the last page of the code, can they not feel sad and regretful?
After calming down a bit, the French president gently opened the original "Napoleonic Code" in his hand and began to browse the contents recorded in it!
Ye Tian clearly saw that the French president's hands were shaking slightly, which was caused by excitement!
