Chapter 1084 Misunderstanding
After leaving the Presidential Palace, Gao Yang sat in the office he was about to leave. Looking at a long knife and a shotgun on the table in front of him, he still felt a little embarrassed.
Gao Yang liked the gifts Basal gave him. He must keep the knife, but what to do with the shotgun made him a little embarrassed.
Gao Yang has always liked shotguns, but he is not particularly interested in antique guns.
Gao Yang prefers to keep a bunch of guns used by countries around the world at home, including Chinese, American, Russian, British and French guns, all placed on his farm. If you want to shoot, you can just pick one up. Have a blast in his ranch.
If you want to collect, Gao Yang's collection goal is old World War II guns, which are not antiques yet, but he likes them more. As for shotguns, he will collect some sporting shotguns and new guns with good craftsmanship. In the final analysis, Gao Yang prefers guns that can be used easily, rather than guns that can only be admired hanging on the wall or locked in a cabinet.
Therefore, Gao Yang wanted to transfer the gun given by Basal to Morgan, but considering that this shotgun was a gift from Basal and had a certain commemorative significance, Gao Yang did not want to give it to him.
The time of hesitation was not very long. Gao Yang finally made a decision. It is better for the gun to be in the hands of an owner who truly appreciates it. In his hands, a good antique gun will only be a pearl covered in dust. It is better to give it to Obsession. Morgan got it.
! Gao Yang's decision was to ask Morgan. If the shotgun Basal sent was expensive, meaningful, and valuable, then give it to Morgan. If the gun was not a masterpiece. It is a relatively common antique gun. Then he would stay on his own.
Gao Yang finally picked up the phone. Called Morgan's number.
Morgan answered the phone and smiled: "Gao, you haven't called me for a long time, and you disturbed my sleep again."
Gao Yang laughed and said, "I found a shotgun!"
Morgan's breath stopped, but he soon shouted, tremblingly: "God! You've found it!"
Gao Yang was stunned for a moment and said, "What did you find?"
Gao Yang quickly understood that Morgan had misunderstood. He thought he had found Princess Sissi's gun. After figuring it out, Gao Yang immediately said anxiously: "Oh, don't be too excited, I just got an antique gun, but it's not the one you want most. Hey, man, I think I've given you three shotguns, I say. It's just the same situation as the last few times, unfortunately. It's not the one you wanted."
Morgan breathed a long sigh of relief and said: "Oh, when you mentioned the shotgun, I thought you had found it. I always thought that maybe you were the only one who could help me find it, and all I could think about was that gun, so When you said you found a gun, I subconsciously thought it was that gun."
After sighing with regret, Morgan smiled: "Where did you get the gun this time? Did you snatch it like the previous two times?"
Gao Yang smiled and said: "Don't talk nonsense. This time I didn't steal it. It was given to me by someone else. It was given to me personally by the President of Syria."
"Bassar gave it to you? Well, didn't you snatch it from Bashar's presidential palace? Haha, just kidding, Bashar gave it to you, it must be a good gun. Those rich guys in the Middle East entered the antiques After entering the field of gun collecting, not only did they raise the price, but those rich guys also bought a lot of good guns, damn, what do those guys know about collecting!"
When it comes to shotguns, Morgan is full of complaints. As long as they are antiques, they must have the characteristics of scarcity and non-replicability. Morgan entered the collection of antique guns not very late, but it is a pity that the oil tycoons in the Middle East made their fortunes much later. Early on, when Morgan tried to buy his favorite antique guns in Europe, he sadly discovered that most of the good products that could enter the market had been collected by buyers from the Middle East.
Auctions are often held, but particularly good collections are not always available. The worst thing is that collectors who collect antique guns are often either rich or expensive. After World War II, some Europeans were affected by the war.
It was the peak period when old guns or collections had to be sold off, and most of these guns were bought by people from the Middle East. Considering Morgan's age, he certainly could not catch up with this period.
The collection of antique guns is not a popular category nowadays. Antique guns are often sold at auctions, and occasionally there are special auctions. However, since antique guns have not been sold to high prices, naturally They won't appear in the market in large quantities. Basically, the ones you can buy won't be particularly good.
As for the local tycoons in the Middle East, they don’t care about the market conditions. Once they get it, don’t think about getting it out again. Unless one day the oil in the Middle East runs out and those tycoons go bankrupt, maybe it will be possible to give away a batch of antique guns. Come to the market for this collectible.
Thinking about it carefully, Gao Yang discovered that it was true that one of the shotguns he gave to Morgan was snatched from Gaddafi's palace, and the other two were snatched from the hands of oil tycoons who went hunting in South Sudan. This time, it was again Although not all the things Bashar gave him were obtained in the Middle East, they were all obtained from people in a cultural circle.
If money can be taken, it should not be treated as money. When buying something, you don’t want the most expensive thing but want it to be more expensive. How can the shotguns that the oil tycoons like when they buy things be ordinary goods? They will never look down on goods mass-produced by gun factories. They must be Handmade by top gunsmiths, they have to be in perfect condition and usable before they can see them. Therefore, the three antique guns that Gao Yang snatched were all top-notch goods.
Thinking of this, Gao Yang felt that the shotgun Bashar gave him could no longer be kept and would definitely fall into Morgan's hands.
Gao Yang sighed and said with a smile: "Morgan, you told me about the names of the most famous gunsmiths in Europe. Well, the gun Basal gave me did have the names of the gunsmiths engraved on it, but I never heard you mention it. , I don’t know the value of this gun.”
"Say name."
"Denecharr. R. Dale."
"Farke! Farke! Farke!"
Morgan, who has always been gentle and gentle, cursed repeatedly, and Gao Yang confirmed that he could not keep the gun.
"What's wrong"
"Denechal R. Deller was the most famous gunsmith in France in the early 19th century. He did not specialize in making shotguns. He mainly made smoothbore rifles at that time. However, the shotguns he made were equally famous, but the number was extremely small. That’s all, well, none of this matters, what’s important is that Denechal is Emperor Napoleon’s official gunsmith!”
Gao Yang was stunned and said: "Emperor Napoleon?"
"Yes, Napoleon I! Do you know why I didn't mention Denechal's name to you? Because it was generally believed in the collecting community that no works of his existed at all, that's it! Man, you made a fortune! You really You are making a lot of money. In terms of scarcity, no other gun can compare with the gun in your hand. Tell me, how is the quality of the gun in your hand?"
Gao Yang looked at it and smiled bitterly: "Perfect! Except for the traces of time, there is no damage or stain."
Morgan said to himself: "Oh my God, Gao, you are such an enviable guy!"
Gao Yang sighed and said: "Oh my God, Morgan, you are such an enviable guy!"
"why would you say so?"
"Man, no matter how good this gun is, it still belongs to you in the end. Isn't this the first time?"
"God, are you going to give it to me?"
"Is it surprising? This is not the first time."
"Me! Me! Please wait a moment, happiness comes too suddenly, I need to calm down!"
Gao Yang heard Morgan's roar. Morgan raised his throat, covered the microphone and roared as loud as he could, but he still heard him.
After yelling several times, Morgan put the phone to his mouth again and said in a rough voice: "Hey! I know you are a good person, you are a great person, I love you to death, really, if Bob is a Girl, if I have a daughter, I will definitely marry her to you."
After Gao Yang thought about Bob turning into a woman, he felt a chill. After a shudder, he smiled bitterly and said: "You should be lucky that Yelena didn't hear what you said. Okay, buddy, just wait, I'll do it right away." You’re going back to China, and you’ll be able to see your new gun then.”
"Where are you? I'll send a plane to pick you up right away. Man, treat my baby well. Don't bump it. Be careful."
Gao Yang smiled and said: "I'm not your baby yet. Be careful if I change my mind. As for picking us up, forget it. I'm still in Syria, and your private plane can't get in. "
"Oh, it's really not possible in Syria. Anyway, just call me. When will you leave Syria? Go to the airport and tell me. I will pick you up personally. When will you come back? Tomorrow?"
Gao Yang thought for a while and said: "Not necessarily, maybe not tomorrow. I think it will be the day after tomorrow or the day after tomorrow. I will call you in advance to inform you. This time I want to take a good rest and play with Yelena for a few days."
"Okay, no problem. Well, where are you going? Traveling around the world? My plane is yours to use. You can go wherever you want during this period. The plane will follow you the whole way!"
Gao Yang laughed and said, "I thought you were going to send me the plane."
Morgan immediately said: "Okay, no problem. If you want it, I'll give it to you. However, are you sure you want to raise two pilots, have dedicated maintenance personnel, and be responsible for the maintenance of the aircraft?" Do you have these questions? If you want it, take it and give it to you. Really, I’m not joking. In fact, I am planning to buy a new, bigger plane. Also, with our diamond mine as the foundation, if you If you don’t want an old plane and want a new one, then I’ll give you a new plane.”
Gao Yang smiled bitterly and said: "Forget it, save it. You know I'm joking. Why do I need a private jet that can fly intercontinentally? It's not like I have a lot of money and nowhere to spend it. Besides, I don't need it like you." As a trapeze artist who travels around every day, the airplane I need is a small two-seater airplane."
Morgan smiled and said: "Now that we have mentioned this issue, I think it is best to ask you in advance. What do you think I should use as a thank you to you?"
Gao Yang thought for a while and said: "It's also a gun, but I haven't decided what I want yet. Well, I have to think about it seriously and let you know when we meet." (To be continued...) R1292
