this time.

The reason why France is willing to bleed is mostly to restore its reputation and image in the minds of mainland netizens, rather than to show how generous it is.

The 1,200 pieces in the collection, including nearly a hundred pieces of marine sunken porcelain, are purely a make-up.

The vast majority of the rest are commercial goods. There are only about three to four hundred pieces that can really be sent to auction houses and can be called small boutiques. They are not taken seriously in the Louvre.

Last year, mainland tourists went shopping, studied abroad, purchased real estate, etc. in France, bringing a total revenue of more than one billion euros to France.

Not only that.

Various luxury brands covering clothing, shoes, bags, cosmetics, jewelry, and wine are also rapidly expanding their markets in the mainland, generating billions of euros in revenue for French companies.

As for the additional returned collections, many have not been publicly displayed since they entered the Louvre's warehouse. They cannot create high value on their own, so it is better to take the opportunity to use them to win people's hearts.

In the final analysis, it is mainly based on interests.

If mainland residents are aroused to dislike France, France will suffer heavy losses and lose an emerging market with huge potential.

It's the lesser of two evils, so I choose to take out more items, that's all.

This means that Su Rui spent a few hundred thousand yuan to find trolls and buy hot searches, but actually made an extra 100 million euros worth of cultural relics in this transaction.

It can only be described as blackmail and extortion, and the money came in very quickly.

When he read the list, he found that the two animal heads were not in it. Castiglione was responsible for the design and casting of the "faucet". The value was artificially hyped, so don't care too much.

Suri was very satisfied with this transaction catalog, so he agreed on the spot to go to Paris on a certain date and sign a public contract with the French official representative.

When the restoration work is completed, the "Salvator Mundi" oil painting is expected to be hung in the Louvre Museum and a separate and conspicuous exhibition area will be arranged.

afterwards.

Suri even began to consider whether to take "Girl with a Pearl Earring" in a few years and go to England in exchange for some treasures.

It is probably hopeless to wait for the British side to take the initiative to return the cultural relics.

The reason is that once the option of repatriation begins, the entire British Museum will become empty, and most of the collections will be snatched from various countries.

The prerequisite for expecting them to find out is that they have to have a conscience. There is no way to reason with robbers and thieves.

After the 68th Golden Globe Awards.

The great director George Lucas has received a deposit from Netflix Entertainment.

After going home and negotiating with his fiancée, Director Lucas found Suri again and decided to adopt the new proposal at the awards dinner.

That is to say, Suri bought Marlon Brando's private island and rented it to George Lucas for a long time at a low price until he got tired of living there.

On this top private island in Tahiti, there is a resort that just opened at the beginning of this year. A total of 35 villa-style hotels have been built, and there are currently no Internet celebrity water houses.

George Lucas only needs one or two of the villas, and the rest can still be operated normally without affecting Suri's interests.

According to the great director.

It seems that he and his fiancée are planning to hold a wedding on Brando's private island early next year, and Suri has been invited to attend in advance.

Honestly.

Suri knew very well how boring life was when living on a small island like Brando's private island. It was only suitable for ten days and a half to relax.

He doubted that Director Lucas and his fiancée could survive until early next year before leaving.

Although poetry and distance are wonderful, not everyone can adapt to them.

Especially old people like George Lucas, who have been busy for most of their lives, may be eager to move back to Hollywood before Christmas this year and return to the familiar social circle.

The old godfather Marlon Brando has passed away a few years ago. His son inherited the island but chose to settle in Los Angeles. Suri also met each other several times at parties.

The total purchase price of US$53.5 million is neither expensive nor cheap.

The daily rent for each villa is as high as about 3,000 US dollars, and it is destined to only accommodate wealthy people. Not only is the scenery at the ceiling level of the island, but so is the room rate in the resort.

It was probably because the resort suffered losses after its opening and there was not much room for profit, so Marlon Brando's son and the resort's investors jointly chose to sell it for cash.

Only super rich people like Suri can be willing to pay for a beautiful scenery regardless of the income.

I just finished chatting with Director Lucas.

A special guest is welcomed at the door of the house - Miss Aishwarya Baani, the daughter of Asia's richest man.

This girl is currently regarded as Suri's partner. Since the opening of a subsidiary of Caishen Capital in India, it has quickly raised approximately US$8 billion in custody funds. Since the return rate of financial products is quite good, the scale of assets under management is rising steadily. .

Unlike other regions, the Indian branch of Caishen Capital only launches private equity fund-type financial products, with a purchase threshold as high as US$300,000.

The reason is that the gap between rich and poor in India is particularly large. Once a public fund is launched, it will affect the interests of other wealthy businessmen. Compared with the potential income it may bring, it is not worth the risk of being suppressed.

Both Miss Aishwarya Bhaani and her father believe that it is enough to only do business for 1% of India's wealthy people.

Suri received the other party personally.

After chatting for a while, Miss Aishwarya Baani got to the point and asked Suri:

"You have invested in many industries in China this year. Some of my father's official friends want to invite you to India for inspection. India, like China, has rich demographic dividends and huge potential markets, such as real estate, Internet, finance, etc. It’s what you’re good at, and with your ability, you should be able to make a lot of money by then.”

Suri smiled slightly.

I secretly added in my mind that even if I successfully make money, I have to be able to take it away smoothly. Otherwise, I will leave a pile of Indian rupees that have depreciated wildly, just to keep them warm by the fire?

He shook his head and said to Miss Aishwarya Baani:

"My view is not as optimistic as yours. India has missed the best opportunity to rise."

".Why do you say that?"

"Because low-end manufacturing will soon be replaced by automation and intelligence, and these are what China is good at. The approach of relying on demographic dividends for development is almost unworkable. Even the most skilled workers cannot be automated. The high efficiency of the assembly line makes it difficult for other emerging markets to accumulate enough wealth to allow a large number of people to cross class and achieve an economic leap. "

Su Rui often hears that Na Na Na is about to replace China as the "world factory", but he only treats it as a joke.

In fact, if there were no tariff barriers and trade protection, 95% of the world's processing plants would probably be driven into bankruptcy by mainland companies, and their competitiveness would not be at the same level at all.

For example, the S-Car super factory in Shanghai has been put into production very quickly. The first mass-produced car is expected to roll off the assembly line at the end of the month, and will be launched on a large scale by the beginning of next year.

Mainly because there are relatively few potential buyers, the weekly production capacity is set at around 500 vehicles. Once full-speed production in "explosion mode" is started, the output can easily be doubled or tripled. (End of this chapter)
