Chapter 80: Two Days!
The officials of the French Foreign Ministry present were silent, they all knew the current situation in their country, and if they did not bring this 'Mona Lisa' back this time, I am afraid that the whole country would be even more turbulent this time. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
No matter how everyone persuaded him, the director of the Louvre just didn't want to enter the deal, no matter what, he was unwilling to make this deal.
Looking at the curator of the Louvre, who was not in the oil and salt, Adrien had no choice, sighed, and took out his mobile phone.
The surrounding officials saw Adrien's movements and closed their mouths for a moment.
Adrien looked at the phone number on his phone, feeling a little complicated, and he remembered that when the president gave him the phone, he patted him on the shoulder and said that he would call him if he encountered something difficult to handle.
At that time, he was still secretly pouting, just a child, thinking that he didn't need this phone call at all, but he didn't expect that it was only two or three days, and he was going to call.
With a wry smile on his lips, Adrien took a deep breath and pressed the phone.
After a few busy tones, the phone answered, and a deep voice came out of the phone, "Is it Adrian, how is it, is it done?"
Listening to the words coming from the phone, Adrien was silent, and the other end of the phone seemed to guess the meaning, and did not say much, so he was silent.
Finally, Adrien plucked up the courage to say, "President, Li Shang's request is too harsh, so I didn't reply to him!"
"What a request!" the voice was a little deeper, but the seriousness was that Adrien could feel the oppression through the phone.
Adrien wanted to organize the language, but no matter how he organized it, it was difficult to speak, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "Li Shang, he asked for the exchange of 100 Chinese national treasures from the Louvre's collection for the Mona Lisa!
After he finished speaking, he seemed to be relieved, and his body suddenly relaxed a lot, but the French president on the other end of the phone was full of heaviness, and Adrien's words hit him directly like a heavy blow, making his hand holding the phone tremble.
The corners of his mouth trembled, and his voice trembled a little when he looked into the phone, but he still said majestically, "Is he really, saying that?!"
How could Adrien not be able to imagine the president's expression, he could only nod his head, with a wry smile, and said, "Yes, that's what he said!"
There was a moment of silence on the phone, and finally the president said into the phone, "Give me two days!" After speaking, Adrien didn't even have a chance to speak, and was hung up.
Looking at the hung up phone, Adrien's mood also relaxed, put the phone in his pocket, and turned his head to look at the burning eyes of his colleagues around him.
Before he could speak, the officials rushed up and asked questions around Adrien, the loudest of which was the gray-haired curator of the Louvre.
"How's that?
"What did the president say? Did you not agree?!"
"Do you want to use the legal way to directly take back the painting in his hand!"
"There's no way the president can agree to it, it will make the country more unstable!"
.........
The crowd was gossiping and talking, which gave Adrien a headache.
"Alright!" he shouted violently, stopping the noise of the crowd, rubbing his aching head, and said, "The president hasn't agreed yet, only said let's wait for two days!"
The officials were silent, not saying anything, with indignation on their faces, although they said that they were considering, but how could they not know that this was a tacit gesture.
Especially the curator of the Louvre, although he didn't say anything, his face was even more angry, that is, the people around him didn't dare to speak out easily, for fear of letting this explosive bag explode.
In any case, this matter is no longer something they can handle, although there is no baggage, but everyone exudes an aura of not entering.
And Li Shang, who caused all this, was visiting the manor and wandering around this new home that he was not very familiar with.
Although Li Shang was in a good mood, Yaheng, who was regarded as a tour guide, was obviously not in a mood here, and his mind was like a mess, constantly thinking.
Li Shang looked at the place in front of him that introduced the seawater, and asked Yaheng, "Yaheng, what is over there?"
Yaheng didn't answer, and was prepared to say that Yaheng hadn't heard Li Shang's words at all.
Li Shang slapped Yaheng's shoulder suddenly, startling him, looked at Li Shang in a daze, and asked, "Sir, what's wrong?"
Li Shang shook his head with a smile, pointed to the place where construction was underway, and said the question just now, "What is that?"
Ya Heng calmed down for a moment and explained to Li Shang, "That is an underwater museum, which can also be said to be a place for your leisure and entertainment."
After listening to Yaheng's words, Li Shang did not answer, but was a little puzzled.
Yaheng explained to Li Shang, "That place will be built into an underwater recreation room, with hardened glass made of a circular room, after the introduction of seawater, it will be more comfortable in it, and you can also feed fish, pets and so on."
Li Shang suddenly said that what Yaheng said was like Bill Gates's underwater lounge, except that one was built in the sea, the other was built on land, and then seawater was introduced, but in general, there was no big difference between the two.
Just as Li Shang was visiting, Adrien came with a group of officials.
Looking at the gloomy French diplomats, Li Shang smiled, hurriedly stepped forward, and said with a smile, "How about it, have you thought about it?"
Adrien and the officials present all looked at Li Shang with fierce eyes, and in the end, Adrien said coldly, "Two days, I'll give you the answer in two days!"
After speaking, before Li Shang could speak, he took people to turn around and leave, without looking at Li Shang.
Looking at the officials of the French Ministry of Foreign Affairs who were all gloomy and did not allow anyone to enter, Li Shang touched the tip of his nose with some embarrassment, and asked Yaheng on the side, "Do you think my request is really a bit excessive?"
Yaheng didn't answer, just rolled his eyes and twisted his head to the side, not wanting to deal with Li Shang at all.
Li Shang looked at the surrounding bodyguards again, without exception, the eyes of these bodyguards were either looking at the sky or the ground, and none of them answered Li Shang.
Similarly, in the presidential office of the Elysee Palace in France, a group of officials took their seats one after another, and the president had long been at the top of the list, with a gloomy face, which made the officials who had just come in not know what was going on, but their hearts tightened.
