Chapter 1525 Private property is sacrosanct
Martinez looked at Ye Tian, his face was red, his eyes were full of fire, and he was ready to refute.
Before he could speak, Ye Tian had already raised his hands and pressed them down gently, signaling him to be calm and not impatient, there was no need to rush to speak, there would be an opportunity later.
Seeing Ye Tian's movements, Martinez could only forcibly suppress his excitement and continued to brew words.
The discovery of Napoleon's treasure was a thrill to Martinez, but he did not lose his mind and remained very clear-headed.
Martinez clearly knew that in the current situation, he had to suppress his emotions, and he must not offend Steven, the bastard, he couldn't afford that kind of result!
Now the people of the whole world know that this is the private house of that bastard Steven, and he can decide who stays here and who will be invited out of here, this is his right, there is no doubt about it!
If you offend him and are invited out of the house, then the Napoleonic treasure has nothing to do with the Louvre.
What will happen next, almost without thinking.
Famous museums such as the Museum of Modern Art and the Musée d'Orsay will be ecstatic and will quickly follow up as soon as possible to fill the space voluntarily vacated by the Louvre.
If you miss such a sensational discovery in the world, you, the director of the Louvre Museum, will be done to the end, so get ready to roll up and go home!
It was precisely because of this thought that Martinez forcibly suppressed his excitement, otherwise what could he do?
When the noise at the scene subsided a little and everyone's mood calmed down a little, Ye Tian continued:
"For the naming of this treasure, I think you will not have any opinions, even if you have opinions, I have to ask you to keep them, and the results of the exploration later will give the most accurate answer.
That's all for the video footage captured by the drone, and we will soon be on a follow-up quest to uncover the secrets of Napoleon's treasure and make it public."
As he spoke, Ye Tian nodded lightly to Taylor and gave instructions.
Taylor immediately nodded in response, then reached out and turned off the projector, and the live broadcast screen changed.
"Napoleon's Entry into Vienna" and the Holy Roman Empire's crown disappeared from the live broadcast screen, replaced by a close-up of Ye Tian, with a bright look and a bright smile on his face.
"Hey!"
A sigh immediately sounded in the living room and countless live broadcasts, and people hadn't seen enough of it.
Before the sigh fell, the chief correspondent of the New York Times in Paris could not wait to raise his hand and ask:
"Steven, apart from the priceless antique works of art "Napoleon's Entry into Vienna" and the Holy Roman Crown, you must have found other treasures, can you tell us about them?"
Ye Tian turned his head to look at this buddy, then nodded with a smile and said:
"You're right, in addition to these two top antique artworks on display, we also found a lot of treasures, almost every one of which is a top antique artwork of great value.
Only antique works of this caliber are eligible to be stored in this underground vault, and it is no exaggeration to say that the Napoleonic Treasure is definitely one of the most valuable treasures I have ever seen!
Even compared to the Louvre's world-famous Grand Gallery, the collection in this underground chamber is no less impressive, and even more, every piece of antique art has previously existed only in legends!"
Before the words fell, the scene in the living room and countless live broadcasts had boiled again.
"Wow, that's crazy, it's even better than the Louvre Gallery!"
"Oh my God! What a treasure this must be! Its overall value must be an unimaginable astronomical amount!"
After a pause, Ye Tianqing's voice came out again, and all the noise was suppressed in an instant.
"However, there are also those top antique works of art in Napoleon's treasure, I will not tell you about them for the time being, and I will not release the relevant video materials about them.
Don't worry, after the follow-up exploration is launched, we will gradually reveal the treasures of Napoleon, and present the antique artworks in the secret room to everyone one by one.
For security reasons, no one else is allowed to enter Napoleon's treasure until we have eliminated all traps in the tunnels and secret chambers and made sure that they are completely safe.
During the expedition, we will wear high-definition cameras to record the whole process of the operation, and through the video screen, everyone can witness the exploration with their own eyes,......"
As soon as he said this, a senior Parisian police officer who was at the scene in the living room suddenly interjected:
"Excuse me, Mr. Steven, let's not talk about the exploration, should we discuss the question of the ownership of Napoleon's treasure, and determine who this treasure belongs to!"
Before the words fell, a reporter from France Télévisiono 2 immediately said:
"Yes, it is true that the question of the ownership of Napoleon's treasure should be discussed, and then the exploration should be carried out, and it should be determined who will lead the exploration.
Since this is the Napoleonic treasure, as the name suggests, this treasure is inextricably linked to Napoleon, who in turn was the emperor of the First French Empire.
Combined with the time when this underground vault was built, it is completely certain that this treasure belongs to the French government, to all the French people, and not to you!"
Not only the two who spoke out, but also a few French lawyers, the other French people in the living room, and almost all the French people on the live broadcast end, all think so!
The treasure of Napoleon rightfully belongs to France, it is the wealth that Napoleon left to all French people, and it must not be swept away by Steven's greedy bastard!
If nothing else, the value of "Napoleon's Entry into Vienna" and the crown of the Holy Roman Empire alone is probably an unimaginable astronomical amount, how can that New York bastard be cheapened for nothing!
Ye Tian looked at the two who spoke, and then said with a sneer:
"If I'm not mistaken, France is a highly developed capitalist country that has always admired freedom, equality, fraternity, democracy and the rule of law.
The sanctity of private property is the foundation of a capitalist state, and it is the most important principle of the bourgeois constitution.
Regarding the ownership of this historic building, I believe that I do not need to explain and explain it again, my personal lawyer has just given the most complete explanation and presented the relevant supporting documents.
It can be said that everything above and below the ground of this ancient building belongs to me, it is my private property, it is sacrosanct, there is no doubt, I believe everyone knows.
The Napoleonic treasure, since it is under this building, is an integral part of this building, and no matter how valuable and significant, it is my private property.
It is undeniable that this treasure once belonged to the French government, but that is already the old calendar, and now that the Napoleonic treasure belongs to me, no one can deny it, unless France intends to violate the constitution.
If the French government dares today to forcibly seize the Napoleonic treasure from me against the Constitution, then who can guarantee that they will not again violate the Constitution and forcibly seize the private property that belongs to you!"
All the French people in the living room and the live broadcast were completely dumbfounded, looking at Ye Tian one by one, their eyes full of incredulity!
Private property is inviolable! Yes, this can be said to be a heavenly rule!
In any normal capitalist country, without a suitable reason, or a seemingly suitable reason and excuse, what government would dare to openly violate this principle?
The French government is naturally no exception, not to mention that in front of the public and in full view, they dare not do such things blatantly, unless this government does not want to do it!
Before people could react, under Ye Tian's hint, Antoine stood up again and reaffirmed Ye Tian's ownership of everything above and below the ground of this historic building.
After quoting the scriptures and making an impassioned statement, Antoine took the trouble to show the documents of the real estate transaction again, as well as the documents of the building's title certificates.
Listening to Antoine's words and watching the perfect performance of him and Ye Tian singing and harmonizing, many French people were completely desperate, knowing that the treasure of Napoleon no longer belonged to France!
In many places in France, countless angry curses rang out, some scolded Ye Tian for being greedy, and many people scolded Antoine for being a 'traitor' and unforgivable!
This is not the end, Antoine's performance has just ended, and at Ye Tian's signal, Perry, the US ambassador to France, stepped forward again and began his performance.
"Good morning, ladies and gentlemen, and it's a pleasure to be here with you, and I'm Perry Jones, U.S. Ambassador to France, and it's a great honor to be invited here by Mr. Steven to witness the miracle.
Mr. Steven's words are right, private property is sacrosanct, it is the foundation of capitalist countries, and we must abide by this principle, both in the United States and in France.
As the U.S. ambassador to France, I have the responsibility and obligation to protect the lives and property of U.S. citizens, including Steven, from being violated while they are in France.
There is no doubt that the ownership of this historic building belongs to Monsieur Steven, and that the treasure of Napoleon deep beneath this building naturally belongs to Mr. Steven, no less ,......"
When he said this, Perry behaved with righteousness and awe, and his tone was categorical and unusually firm, and there was no doubt about it!
But deep down, he didn't really want to get involved in this troubled water, which would offend many French people and not be conducive to future work.
But he knew very well in his heart that he had to stand up, otherwise he would not be able to explain to all the Americans, and the work of this ambassador to France would be over!
Everything that is happening here can be seen by everyone in the world, including the Americans, and if they don't stand up, then wait to be completely drowned by the spittle!
Moreover, this is a Napoleonic treasure that the U.S. government cannot ignore.
Not to mention the artistic value and great historical significance of those top antique artworks, just the relevant taxes are an astronomical huge wealth, who is willing to let go?
As U.S. Ambassador to France Perry stood up in support of Ye Tian, in the blink of an eye, this matter has risen to the national level and become more exciting!
"It's over! Napoleon's treasure can't belong to France, and I can only watch this treasure be swept away by Steven's bastard!"
All the French people on the scene and live broadcast sighed secretly, their emotions were lost to the extreme, their eyes were full of unwillingness, but they were helpless!
