After Mr. Messier suggested that they would compensate for the loss of low-priced tickets with the fares of high-class luxury cars for the wealthy, the media's interest shifted to the luxury and pricing of luxury cars.

In an interview with Kommersant, Mr. Messier gave a general overview of the luxury carriages, calling them "galloping palaces". As for the pricing of seats in luxury cars, Messier said that this is still a small number that is not a problem for the rich.

"After all, a train carries more people at a time than a horse-drawn carriage. So although the cost of our train was much more expensive than the ultra-luxury carriage that Louis XVI used when he tried to escape Paris, it was not more expensive than his carriage on average to each seat - of course, both in speed and comfort, far more than his carriage, and if he had not been in that carriage but ours, he would have run away long ago - well, plus this line has been in operation for a long time, so it is not too expensive to spread it evenly.

In addition, the first train to the Freedom Palace was the first passenger train in the world because of its special commemorative significance, so there are certain restrictions on the sale of tickets for it. All the general tickets on this train will be given to students in various primary and secondary schools in Paris, so that they can experience the charm of science and technology. As for the location of the luxury car, bidding is carried out by auction. All proceeds from the auction will be donated to education in France, because children are our future!

You know, we've always believed that with great power comes great responsibility. Many of us have made money, made a fortune, and become rich through our own efforts. But we must be grateful, knowing that the reason why we are where we are today is not only our personal efforts, but also the help of the entire historical process. Without the joint efforts of the French people, we would not be where we are today. Therefore, those of us who are rich should know how to be grateful and know how to give back to the society. Therefore, I call on the rich people of France to stand up and support us with concrete actions......"

After this interview, the attention of the newspapers quickly turned to the auction. Led by newspapers, people began to discuss how much the seats would be sold for at auction and which wealthy people would be willing to give generously for charity.

Although the auction has not yet begun, the rich people in Paris, especially the big rich on the surface, have opened their mouths one after another to express their interest in philanthropy. Including many wealthy people whose reputations were not too good.

For example, Mr. Bowang, who is often belittled as a vampire, said that he has always been very concerned about trains and charity, so he will definitely participate in this auction, which can be regarded as fulfilling his social responsibility.

For example, Genet, who is despised by many as "the biggest pimp in France", also said that it is the responsibility of the rich who get rich first to support charity, and "many of my employees are also very interested in trains", so he must also return home with a full load at this auction. And his statement makes people can't help but think about what kind of scenery it will be when his employees board the train.

Of course, the most surprising thing was Mr. Grandet, the executive director of Lorraine Steel.

With the rise of Lorraine Steel, the company has also become more and more visible. Although he was not the largest shareholder of the company, Mr. Grande, the executive director in charge of the day-to-day affairs of Lorraine Steel, naturally attracted everyone's attention, and then one of his characteristics became widely known: miserliness.

Mr. Grandet's wealth is well known, after all, Lorraine Steel is one of the most profitable companies in almost all of Europe. As its executive director, to say that there is no money, it is like understanding that Wang said that he can inject intravenous disinfectant, which is definitely a joke. (Whether it is or not, anyway, I understand that the king said yes, that is.) ）

But even if he is so rich, everyone knows how frugal Mr. Grandet is. He always had only four sets of clothes, two in rotation when it was hot and two in rotation when it was cold. And they are the most cost-effective ones (Grande's so-called cost-effectiveness refers to the money spent on the purchase of clothing divided by the expected time of use, and the quotient obtained is the smallest). Moreover, Monsieur Grandet was reluctant to buy even a carriage, and insisted on walking to work until he was almost kidnapped again, when he finally had his own carriage, but the carriage was so shabby that in order to save money that Monsieur Grandet did not even prepare a coachman—he learned how to drive it himself.

Someone even made up such a paragraph for Mr. Grandet:

Mr. Grandet arrived at the café, sat down, and ordered a cup of coffee. The waiter came over and asked, "Sir, is your coffee sweetened?" ”

Grandet said, "Bring me a glass first." Be full. ”

So the waiter brought unsweetened coffee. Grandet took a sip of his coffee to make room for the sugar cube before shouting to the waiter, "Add me a piece of sugar!" ”

This is certainly not true, because Monsieur Grandet would never have gone into a café to drink coffee. Anyone who knows Mr. Grandet knows that he doesn't drink, he doesn't drink coffee, he doesn't drink tea, he only drinks water.

Because of this, some reporters ran to ask Grandet if he would participate in the auction, thinking that he would get this answer: "What? Spending money for a luxury seat? No, it's just insane! Charitable? What's the matter with me? Want me to pay? Unless you let Robespierre carry the guillotine himself...... Yes, I won't participate, I won't attend! ”

Monsieur Grandet, however, replied in this way:

"As a matter of fact, I have already contacted Messier and he told me that any of us can come and check the account at any time to see if he is using the money where it should not be. In this case, I think the money should be used in a really useful place. In that case, this event is a complete charity fundraiser, and I think the charity event is very meaningful, and I am certainly willing to participate, although I have no interest in sitting in a luxury chair. Because Messier is too cunning, he is advertising for free, he should give me advertising money......"
