Mercenary War

Chapter 154



Listening to Morgan excitedly quote a long list of names, Gao Yang is also excited.

"If Alessandro\'s gun has the same status in the collection industry as Van Gogh\'s painting, how much can it sell?"

Hearing Gao Yang\'s question, Morgan\'s face was a little embarrassed. He shrugged and said: "Well, you have to understand that there are few collectors of antique guns and the circle is very small, so you can\'t expect a gun to sell at too high a price. However, at a Sotheby\'s auction in London in 1998, a Alessandro gun sold at a high price of 280000 pounds, but the wear degree of that gun is much higher than yours, so I estimate that your gun is at least You can get a price of more than 400000 pounds. In addition, your gun has another advantage. It has been collected by Queen Victoria. The butt of the gun has a British Royal badge and Victoria\'s signature. This is an orderly inheritance and can add a lot to your gun. Therefore, I estimate that your gun can get a high price of at least 500000 pounds. "

Gao Yang touched his chin and sighed, "I thought I could sell tens of millions. It turned out that there were only hundreds of thousands."

Morgan said angrily: "don\'t make a mistake, the value of art is not determined by the price. The paintings of Van Gogh and Picasso can sell at a high price, just because too many people regard their works as investment objects. Antique gun collectors are real collectors, not to keep them for a few years and then sell at a high price."

After roaring, Morgan stroked the shotgun in his hand and said with emotion: "I always felt sorry that I didn\'t go to London to bid for the gun, but God lent your hand and sent me a better one. Sell it to me. You must sell it to me. Don\'t set the price now. Although I can basically be sure that the gun is genuine, I didn\'t study European badge science, and your gun has at least two family badges and two others Personal private seal, which means that other people have collected this gun. I don\'t know anything about the inheritance of this gun. I have to go back to the United States to consult experts in order to set a price for your gun. High, you have to sell it to me. "

Gao Yang shrugged and said, "not for sale."

Morgan\'s face became wonderful. He didn\'t want to force himself to be high, but he really couldn\'t bear the gun already in his hand. After several changes in his face, Morgan almost begged: "Gao, please think about it again and sell it to me? Well, I know it\'s very difficult for you. Everyone wants to have their own dream gun. My request is too much. Then, please let me enjoy it for a few days? Can a month be ok? No, a week? How about?"

"It\'s yours. Enjoy it as you like."

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"I mean, this gun is not for sale, but I can give it to you. This gun is yours now, so you can enjoy it as much as you like."

Morgan shook his head and said, "you said you gave me the gun? Oh, God, this is Alessandro\'s work! You just gave it to me?"

"What I said is clear enough? Well, I repeat, this gun is for you. This is a small gift I gave you. I hope you like it. Well, I know you like it very much, but can you stop crying and show me? Don\'t be too moved. I just like double barreled shotguns, so I chose it from a lot of guns. I don\'t like it at all Knowing the name of Alessandro, this gun is not my dream gun. What I like is the old gun during World War II. Even if I collect it, I also collect the World War II antique gun, so this gun is given to you, but remember to return the Mauser 98K and p38 I stored in you. "

Morgan held the Double Barrel Shotgun tightly in his arms and said with a ferocious face: "I want to show that damn guy and make him cry jealously. I\'ve been showing off Alfonso\'s gun in front of me for half a year. This time, I must make him cry. I\'ll take this gun and show it at the exhibition of the American antique gun association to let those guys know that I Morgan Reeves have a work of Alessandro, which is still the most perfect work It\'s a work collected by British royal family members who love hunting. I\'m going to be famous! "

Morgan looks like a child who gets a beloved gift. From Morgan\'s gnashing of teeth, he may have been ridiculed for lack of a sufficient collection. Now he can\'t wait to show off his beloved things to everyone.

Gao Yang smiled and said, "I wish you can hold everyone down and have a good mood when you show off."

Morgan\'s face was full of joy. After nodding heavily, he said solemnly: "happiness came too suddenly. I\'m a little embarrassed. Gao, thank you for your gift. I like it very much. You say you like old guns during World War II? Very good. You like those. Tell me."

Gao Yang thought and said, "I like German and American team light weapons, but that\'s my favorite. Well, let me think..."

"Needless to say, German and American guns, right? I know. I\'ll find you all the German and American guns to ensure that they are the best collection. Every part is original. Also, you like M1911, right? I have a 1911 prototype test gun, which is one of the test guns browning personally supervised and produced in colt Hartford factory, although it has not been tested Limited test, but it\'s well preserved because of this. It\'s yours now. I\'ll bring it to you next time I see you. "

In Gao Yang\'s opinion, a prototype M1911, one of the first batch to participate in the bidding, is much more precious than Alessandro\'s works, so Gao Yang\'s eyes brightened. He took Morgan\'s hand and said loudly, "deal!"

Morgan shook his head and said, "no, no, it\'s not a deal. You gave me a gift and I\'ll give it back. Please, it\'s just a prototype gun. How can it be comparable to Alessandro\'s work? If it\'s a deal, I\'ll die of shame."

Gao Yang feels that he has taken a big advantage. Few military fans are not interested in World War II. Although it is not difficult to get a gun during World War II, it is difficult to get a gun with perfect appearance, complete original packaging and reaching the collection level. Now Morgan not only sent Gao Yang a prototype gun of M1911, but also promised to send light weapons to all teams of Gao Yangde and American departments, This return is too heavy.

Even if Gaoyang is given a million pounds, Gaoyang may not be able to collect these guns. Of course, it\'s not that the money is not enough, but that he doesn\'t have the opportunity and time to collect his favorite guns.

Like Morgan, he is very rich, but he can\'t buy the old gun he dreams of. If it weren\'t for Gao Yang\'s coincidence, Morgan might not get a piece of Alessandro\'s work all his life.
