0490 Arrive at the venue
The Cleon Ladies Ball starts at 5 p.m., with a gala dinner for the invited guests and, of course, the sociales' families.
After the dinner, the dance officially began.
In fact, this kind of dinner party is the most boring, no matter who you are, you will basically not eat anything at a dinner party of this nature.
At the end of the dinner, the ladies will arrive at the venue one after another in the arranged order.
Some people are full of puzzlement about such a process arrangement, so wouldn't the celebrities who are the protagonists have a sumptuous dinner?
In fact, for them, what does it matter if they don't eat dinner, anyway, it's basically like this every day.
At one o'clock in the afternoon, Wu Qian received a call from Rapo Elkan, inviting him to visit the Louvre with him.
This is exactly what Wu Qian wanted, he never went to the Louvre on this trip to France, because he knew that the ball was going to be held in this museum, so he simply stopped by and played, so he didn't go to the Louvre.
The Louvre is located in the heart of Paris on the north bank of the Seine River in the heart of Paris, founded in 1204 and expanded and rebuilt for more than 800 years.
Originally, the Louvre was just a castle for the palace of Philip Auguste II.
During the Crusades, in order to defend the Paris region on the north bank, Philip II built a castle in 1204 that opened to the Seine, mainly for the archives and treasures of the royal family, but also for his dogs and prisoners of war, known as the Louvre.
For hundreds of years, more than 50 kings and queens lived in this French royal palace.
On May 27, 1792, the French National Assembly announced that the Louvre would belong to the public as a public museum.
This state of affairs lasted for six years, until Napoleon I moved into the Louvre.
Napoleon built more houses on the periphery of the building and strengthened the wings of the palace, as well as arches in the arena courtyard, on which the first carved horses were taken from the Basilica of San Marco in Venice.
Napoleon decorated the Louvre like never before, and he brought into the Louvre the best works of art that the rest of Europe had to offer.
Napoleon's expansion and dominance in Europe led to the transportation of thousands of tons of art from the temples, libraries and Catholic churches of all the conquered countries to Paris.
Napoleon renamed the Louvre Musée Napoleon, and the huge promenade was filled with works of art that he had looted.
In the Louvre, Napoleon's splendor lasted for twelve years, up to the crushing defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.
Although Germans, Italians, Spaniards and Dutch visited the Louvre and retrieved about 5,000 works of art, the number of works of art in the Louvre is still a horrific number.
The sheer volume of art has made the Louvre one of the four largest museums in the world.
Today, more than 10 million visitors visit the Louvre every year.
The Louvre has a total of 403 rooms, a total area of 240,000 square meters, more than 10,000 steps, 14 kilometers of corridors, and a total of about 2,500 staff members who are responsible for guarding the 2,000 doors, 410 windows and 5,000 keys every day.
So many employees that more than a dozen people with other motives were not discovered.
The Louvre's permanent exhibition of works is about 30,000, but it has far more works of art than that, reaching a terrifying 460,000!
Of course, it is impossible for France to create so many works of art, which belong to the whole world, and the Louvre is only responsible for its safekeeping.
Wu Qian packed up and set off at 1:30 p.m. to head to the Louvre.
The good weather, which lasted for nearly half a month, finally changed its face today, and the gloomy clouds piled up in the sky, not like it was going to rain, but it looked extremely depressing.
Wu Qian's four bodyguards were all with him, and Cooks finally took over the duties of the driver from David.
Coux and Bauer arrived at the boss's hotel early in the morning in France.
In the morning, Cooks familiarized himself with the car, and he was satisfied with the Boss's Rolls-Royce 10 million, which was simply a mobile fortress, and the sense of security was bursting.
In addition to Cooks on the Rolls-Royce Phantom car, Rosalind in an evening dress is radiant, she and Cooks need to follow the boss all the way, so there is a certain amount of attention to clothing.
As for David and Bauer, they rented a Mercedes-Benz S-Class from the hotel to follow behind the Rolls-Royce.
At a distance of two hundred meters from the glass pyramid on the front lawn of the Louvre, vehicles are blocked by a makeshift access control, which on this special day is only accessible by invitation.
Just when the staff was verifying their identity, the door of the rear seat of the Mercedes-Benz S-class co-pilot opened and closed quickly, and a figure flashed out of the car, because it was an electric suction door, and there was almost no sound.
When the car restarted and headed towards the Louvre, David was the only one left on the Mercedes S, and Bauer was nowhere to be seen.
Wu Qian could see through the window that there were already vehicles parked next to the entrance, some of them were extravagant, some were very nostalgic, from the middle of the last century, and some of them still had national flags on them that he did not recognize.
A senior member of the Louvre was doing the reception work with the VIP of the ball.
When Wu Qian's vehicle drove to the glass pyramid, it attracted the attention of many people.
This car is very strange to everyone.
No one cares about the value of the vehicle itself, everyone only cares about the people in the vehicle.
Some rich people have been using the same car for half their lives, and everyone knows when they see the car that so-and-so is coming.
For example, the third car parked next to the entrance, the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz S560SEL bulletproof sedan produced in 1985, as long as you know something about the top circle in Germany, will know that it is the car of the old man of the Lehmann family.
The Lehmann family is a very, very low-key wealthy family in Germany, with a total asset of 100 billion euros, but only one fashion magazine.
The real income of the family does not depend on fashion magazines, of course, but on the dividends of the family's shares in many German multinational companies.
Or the petite one in a row of luxury cars, the Porsche 356 series sports car produced in 1960, if not the logo, just looks like a Volkswagen Beetle.
This is the car, the world's first sports car to bear the name of Porsche, and there is only one left in the world, which will only be circulated among the Porsche family.
As long as this car appears, it must represent the presence of important people in the Porsche family.
Money is in full swing
