Chapter 1579: Heavy news

"Ladies and gentlemen, friends from the media, good morning, I am..."

The White House spokesperson first greeted many media reporters on the scene, and then introduced his identity, which is a necessary procedure in some scenes.

Later, this buddy entered the topic and talked about matters that everyone cares about.

"Let me inform you about one thing. I believe everyone knows that Steven, the owner of the Brave Fearless Exploration Company, found Napoleon's treasure in his newly purchased house in Paris, France.

Napoleon’s treasure has been hidden for more than two hundred years. It has never been known before. Once discovered, it caused a huge sensation. In Napoleon’s treasure, there are many valuable and top antique artworks hidden.

Two of the most valuable and important treasures are the two first editions of the "Napoleonic Code", which is the earliest civil code of a capitalist country and the legislative norms of all bourgeois countries.

The "Napoleonic Code", in the form of legal provisions, for the first time established the basic principle of the sanctity of private property, the inviolability of private property, as a fundamental principle of capitalist countries. It is of great significance and special.

Everyone knows what happened afterwards. One of the first editions of the "Napoleonic Code" was acquired by Mr. Bernard, the richest man in France, at a huge expense. I believe it will not be long before it will be publicly displayed.

As for the other original "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 the completion of the acquisition, the original version of the Code of Napoleon has been brought back to Washington by the staff of the US Embassy in France, and relevant research and necessary maintenance are currently underway.

When these tasks are completed, the first edition of the Napoleonic Code will be seen with the public and will be exhibited alternately in the Federal Supreme Court and the White House. It will become an important property jointly owned by all Americans.

Before the words were over, the press conference site was completely boiling.

"Let me go! The original "Napoleonic Code" was actually bought by the US government. Needless to say, that guy Steven made a lot of money!"

"Of course! With Steven's extremely greedy behavior, let alone the US government, even if it is God, don't want to take advantage of him!"

While people talked and marveled, their emotions were also different.

Hearing this news, most Americans are still quite aware of the government's acquisitions. The importance of the original "Napoleonic Code" is well understood by people!

It can be said that the basic principle of sacred and inviolable private property established by the Napoleonic Code, as well as some 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. Is it important?

It is no exaggeration that the value of the two first editions of the "Napoleonic Code" cannot be measured by money at all, and they are completely priceless!

Unlike the Americans, in some places in France, there were inevitably bursts of angry curses, some cursing the French and American governments, and some cursing Ye Tian!

The French government responded quickly. Just as the White House spokesperson announced the news, they also announced a series of transactions with the US government to calm the anger of the people!

As for whether it will work and whether the French people who love to protest and demonstrate will pay, only God knows!

At the Rockefeller Center's Fearless Exploration Company, there was a burst of excitement, 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, David and the others were high-fiving each other. Everyone was extremely excited.

What the White House spokesperson's remarks mean, all company employees know very well, that means a huge amount of 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 the news previously disclosed by Steven, France's Bernard spent 800 million Euros to acquire the original "Napoleonic Code", which is amazing!

Then I would like to ask, how much did the U.S. government spend on acquiring another initial version of the Napoleonic Code? It must be less than 800 million euros, right? "

"One more thing, where did the funds for the original Napoleonic Code come from? From the treasury or something else? Can you explain it?"

The White House spokesperson scanned several media reporters who asked questions, and then gave answers.

"Guys, you also know that guy Steven, even if he loses a penny, he will not nod in agreement. That's right, the government bought the original "Napoleon Code" for 800 million euros!"

"Hahaha"

A burst of laughter rang out at the press conference, and everyone nodded gently and deeply agreed with the White House spokesperson.

The same was true for countless people in front of the TV set, laughing one after another, envy, even jealous.

When the laughter subsided, the White House spokesperson continued:

"The funds for the acquisition of this initial version of the Napoleonic Code are divided into several parts, one part is donations from several super-rich people in the United States, and part is donations from the American Bar Association!

In addition, there is also a part of fines and confiscated funds from art crimes. The funds that are actually borne by the government are less than a quarter of the share, which is less than 200 million US dollars.

Upon hearing these words, both the 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 win the first edition of the Napoleonic Code, so what can we say?

Some media reporters and the audience in front of the phone were even a little disappointed. It seemed that they couldn't make a fuss about it, and they couldn't protest, and they made the **** Steven for nothing.

Next, the White House spokesperson answered two more questions about the original version of the Napoleonic Code, before moving on to the next content.

"I would like to inform you of a major news. With the kind invitation of the White House, the current Pope of the Vatican and his entourage will come to the United States in three days for a 10-day visit!"

Unsurprisingly, the press conference started again at the scene, as did countless TV sets.

"Oh my God! The Pope is really coming to the United States, and I will stay in the United States for ten days. I must go to see the Pope with my own eyes. This opportunity is really rare!"

"Wow! Except for Boston, I don't know that the Pope and his entourage will visit that city. I hope New York is among them."

The heated discussion sounded 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 are still very excited to hear the White House spokesperson testify to this and issue an official statement!

As for what the White House spokesperson said, the reason why the Pope and his entourage came to visit the United States was because of the warm invitation of the White House. No one believed it at all.

It was nothing more than the White House putting gold on its own face. It was just a high-sounding official statement. Everyone knew exactly what was going on!

The Pope and his entourage came to the United States entirely because of the two top artworks that caused a huge sensation, Raphael's "The Madonna" and Michelangelo's "Mourning for Christ".

In order to get back the two top artworks that had been lost for more than two hundred years, the Pope had to agree to the request of the guy Steven, to come to the United States to host the wedding in person and send his blessings!

Thinking of this, all Christians were envious and almost mad and their eyes were red.

How can Steven Ho, the extremely lucky bastard, be able to invite the Pope to officiate at the wedding. If it were me, it would be great!

When the scene was a little quieter, the White House spokesperson immediately continued:

"The first stop for the Pope and his entourage will be Washington. During his stay in Washington, the Pope will visit the White House, have dinner with Mr. 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 good wishes.

Mr. 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 scene of the press conference was detonated again, directly interrupting the White House spokesperson's speech, and he had to stop temporarily.

It was the same in front of countless TV sets. Everyone was shocked by the words they had just heard. They watched the TV screen dumbfounded, and even lost their ability to speak.

The Pope and the President attended the same wedding, and it was the Pope who presided over the wedding personally. This is too awesome. I have never heard of this kind of thing before!

The Brave Fearless Exploration Company exploded directly, and the cheers rang through the sky, and the ceiling was almost shaken down!

"Steven, what's the matter? You haven't said before that the president will also come to your wedding with Betty? Is it because he didn't make a surprise? It's unlikely, right?"

Jason asked excitedly, eyes full of curiosity.

Ye Tian and David smiled at each other, and then explained:

"The President's coming to the wedding was an incidental requirement for the transfer of the Napoleonic Code. I just mentioned it casually. I didn't expect the President to accept the invitation very happily.

Of course I cannot refuse this kind of good thing, but it needs to be kept strictly confidential, so it is not disclosed to the public. The people who know this thing are limited to me and Betty, as well as David and Matisse.

In fact, Betty's family, the folks who rushed to Boston to prepare for the wedding and many security personnel, as well as the staff of the wedding planning company, learned of the news yesterday.

For the same reasons of confidentiality, they cannot disclose information in advance ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ so as not to cause some unnecessary troubles. This is a requirement of the White House Secret Service, and everyone knows the specific reasons.

Yesterday at noon, the Boston police and related personnel of the Secret Service from Washington had already contacted Cole and the others, and started various preparatory work in Boston,..."

"I'll go! The scene of this wedding is really too big, it's jaw-dropping! Otherwise, Sophie and I will join in the fun, let's hold the wedding in Boston, this is a golden opportunity!"

Jason said with emotion, the staring eyes almost flew out of his eyes, full of envy.

"Hahaha"

Ye Tian and David both laughed loudly, heartily.

At this moment, the voice of the White House spokesperson came again and spread to everyone's ears.

"After the visit in Boston, the Pope will visit New York. During his stay in New York,..."

Following his remarks, cheers broke out almost everywhere in New York!
