Chapter 498 Arrival at the venue
The Klion Ladies Ball starts at [-]:[-] p.m., with a grand dinner for the invited guests and, of course, the ladies’ families.

After the dinner, the dance officially began.

In fact, this kind of dinner is the most meaningless. No matter who it is, they will basically not eat anything at this kind of dinner.

At the end of the dinner, the celebrities will arrive at the venue one after another according to the arranged order.

Some people are full of puzzles about such a process arrangement. In this way, wouldn't the famous ladies who are the protagonists not be able to have a sumptuous dinner?
In fact, for them, it doesn't matter if they don't eat dinner, anyway, it's basically like this every day.

At noon, Wu Qian received a call from Lapo Elkann, inviting him to visit the Louvre together.

This is exactly what Wu Qian wanted. During his trip to France, he never went to the Louvre. It was because he knew that the ball would be held in this museum, so he decided to drop by and not go there.

The Louvre is more famous than the British Museum. It is located on the north bank of the Seine River in the center of Paris.

In the beginning, the Louvre was just the castle of the palace of Philippe Augustus II.

During the Crusades, in order to defend the Paris area on the north bank, Philip II built a castle leading to the Seine in 1204. It was mainly used to store the royal family's archives and treasures, but also to store his dogs and prisoners of war. for the Louvre.

In the intervening hundreds of years, more than fifty kings and queens lived here before and after this French royal palace.

On May 1792, 5, the French National Assembly announced that the Louvre would belong to the public and become a public museum.

This situation lasted for six years until Napoleon I moved into the Louvre.

Napoleon built more houses around the perimeter of the building and enhanced the wings of the palace, and also built arches in the arena courtyard, on which the first carved herds of horses were taken from the Basilica of San Marco in Venice down.

Napoleon decorated the Louvre like never before, and he brought into the Louvre some of the best art that the rest of Europe had to offer.

Napoleon continued to expand outwards and dominated Europe, so thousands of tons of artworks were transported to Paris from the temples, libraries and Catholic churches of all the conquered countries.

Napoleon renamed the Louvre the Musée Napoleon, and the vast galleries are filled with art he looted.

In the Louvre, Napoleon's glory lasted for 12 years, until his defeat at the Battle of Waterloo.

Although the Germans, Italians, Spaniards and Dutch successively visited the Louvre and retrieved about [-] works of art belonging to them, the number of works of art in the Louvre is still a terrifying amount.

The massive works of art make the Louvre the first of the four major museums in the world.

Today, more than 1000 million tourists come to visit the Louvre each year.

The Louvre has a total of 24 rooms, with a total area of ​​1 square meters, more than 410 steps, and [-] kilometers of corridors. A total of about [-] staff members are responsible for the maintenance of the museum every day. There are [-] doors, [-] windows, and [-] keys.

So many employees that a dozen people with ulterior motives were mixed in without detection.

There are about 46 works in the long-term exhibition of the Louvre, but the works of art it owns far exceed this number, reaching a terrifying [-]!

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 keeping them.

Wu Qian packed up and set off for the Louvre at [-]:[-] p.m.

The good weather that lasted for nearly half a month finally changed its face today, and the gloomy clouds piled up in the sky. It didn't look like it was going to rain, but it seemed extraordinarily depressing.

Wu Qian's four bodyguards were all accompanying, and Kux finally took over the driver's duties from David.

Cooks and Bauer arrived at the hotel where BOSS was staying early in the morning in France.

In the morning, Kux got acquainted with the car. He was satisfied with the 1000 million Rolls-Royce custom-made by BOSS.

Rosalind is the only one on the Rolls-Royce Phantom besides Cooks. Rosalind is glamorous in an evening dress. 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 Ball, the two rented a Mercedes-Benz S-class sedan from the hotel and followed the Rolls-Royce.

When 200 meters away from the Louvre Qianping Glass Pyramid, vehicles were blocked by a temporary access control. On this special day, only invited people could pass.

While the staff was verifying his identity, the door of the Mercedes-Benz S-Class co-pilot's rear seat opened and closed quickly, and a figure flashed out of the car. Because it was an electric suction door, it hardly made any sound.

When the vehicle restarted and headed towards the Louvre, only David was left on the Mercedes-Benz S driving the vehicle alone, and Bauer had disappeared.

Wu Qian could see through the car window that there were already vehicles parked beside the entrance, some of which were extremely luxurious, while others were very nostalgic, from the middle of the last century, and some of the vehicles still had national flags that he did not recognize.

A high-ranking member of the Louvre was working with the receptionist along with the important officials of the ball organizer.

When Wu Qian's vehicle drove to the side of the glass pyramid, it attracted the attention of many people.

This car makes everyone feel very strange.

No one cares about the value of the vehicle itself, but everyone cares about the people in the vehicle.

Some rich people have been using the same car for half their lives. Everyone knows when they see the car that XX is coming.

For example, the third car parked next to the entrance is the sixth-generation Mercedes-Benz S1985 SEL bulletproof sedan produced in 560. Anyone who knows the top German circle will know that it is the car of the old man of the Lehmann family.

The Lehmann family can be described as a very low-key wealthy family in Germany. The family's total assets are as high as [-] billion euros, but they only run a fashion magazine.

Of course, the family's real income does not depend on fashion magazines, but on the family's share dividends in many multinational companies in Germany.

Or the smallest car in a row of luxury cars, the Porsche 1960 series sports car produced in 356, if not for the logo, just from the appearance, it looks very much like a Volkswagen Beetle.

It is this car, the world's first sports car bearing the name of Porsche, and there is only one left in the world, which will only be passed down among the Porsche family.

As long as this car appears, it must represent the presence of important figures from the Porsche family.
