Chapter 150 Gift

Gao Yang also became excited when Morgan announced a long list of names excitedly.

"If Alessandro's guns are as collectible as Van Gogh's, how much would they sell for?"

Hearing Gao Yang's question, Morgan's face was a little embarrassed. He shrugged and said, "Well, you have to understand that there are very few people collecting antique guns, and the circle is very small, so you can't expect a gun to be sold. Too high a price, but at a Sotheby's auction in London in 1998, an Alessandro gun was sold for £280,000, but the gun was more worn than yours The handle is much higher, so I estimate that your gun can be sold for at least 400,000 pounds. In addition, your gun has an advantage, that is, this gun was once collected by Queen Victoria, and there is a British stamp on the butt. The royal coat of arms and Victoria's signature, which can be regarded as an orderly inheritance, can add a lot of color to your gun, so I estimate that your gun can fetch at least half a million pounds."

Gao Yang rubbed his chin and sighed, "I thought it could be sold for tens of millions, but it turned out to be only a few hundred thousand."

Morgan said angrily: "Don't get me wrong, the value of a work of art is not determined by the price. The paintings of Van Gogh and Picasso can be sold at high prices only because too many people regard their works as It’s just an investment object, antique gun collectors are the real collectors, not to keep them for a few years and then sell them for a high price.”

After yelling, Morgan stroked the shotgun in his hand and said with emotion: "I didn't go to London to bid for that gun back then. I always felt very sorry, but God sent me a better one through your hand. Yes, Gao, sell it to me, you must sell it to me, the price is not determined yet, although I can basically confirm that this gun is genuine, but I have no research on European coat of arms, and your gun has at least two There are two family crests and two personal seals, 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 an expert before I can give it to you Set a price for the gun, high, you have to sell it to me.”

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

Morgan's expression became very exciting. He didn't want to force Gao Yang, but he was really reluctant to part with the gun in his hand. After the expression on his face changed a few times, Morgan said in an almost pleading tone: "Gao, please think again." Just a moment, can you sell it to me? Well, I know it’s hard for you. Everyone wants to own a dream gun of their own. My request is too much. Then, please let me appreciate it for a few days, please? A Will a month do? No, a week? How about it?"

"It's yours, enjoy it as you like."

"Sorry, what did you say?"

"I mean this gun is not for sale, but it can be given away. I gave it to you. This gun is yours now, so you can enjoy it whatever you want."

Morgan shook his head vigorously, and said, "You said you gave me the gun? Oh, God, this is the work of Alessandro! You gave it to me just by saying that?"

"Have I made it clear enough? Well, I repeat, this gun is for you. This is a small gift from me. I hope you like it. Well, I know you like it very much, but Can you stop making that crying face for me? Don't get too moved, I just love double barreled shotguns, that's why I picked it out of a bunch of guns, I don't even know about Alessandro This name, this gun is not even my dream gun. I like old guns from World War II. Even if I collect them, I still collect antique guns from World War II. So this gun is for you, but remember to store it in Return the Mauser 98K and P38 from you.

"

Morgan hugged the double-barreled shotgun tightly in his arms, and said with a ferocious face: "I want to show that damn guy, make him cry with jealousy, and show off in front of me with an Alfonso's gun. It's been half a year and I'm gonna make him cry this time and I'm going to show up at the ARA show with this gun and let the guys know that I Morgan Reeves has an Alessandro The work is still the most perfect work, and it is still the work collected by the British royal family who loves hunting, I am going to be famous!"

Morgan looks like a child who has received a beloved gift, and from the way Morgan gritted his teeth, he may have been ridiculed for lack of a sufficient collection before, and now he can't wait to get his beloved gift. Things to show off to everyone.

Gao Yang laughed and said, "I hope you can calm everyone down, and I hope you are in a good mood when you show off."

Morgan was full of joy, nodded heavily, and said solemnly: "Happiness came too suddenly, I lost my composure, Gao, thank you for your gift, I like it very much, you said you like old guns from World War II? Well, you like those, tell me."

Gao Yang thought for a while, and said, "I like German and American squad light weapons, but that is my favorite, well, let me think about it..."

"Needless to say, German and American guns? I know, I will find you all the German and American guns, guaranteed to be the best collection, every part is original, and, You like the M1911 don't you? I have a 1911 prototype test gun, one of those test guns that Browning himself oversaw at Colt's Hartford factory, not tested to the limit, but kept because of that It's all right, it's yours now, I'll bring it to you when I see you next time."

In Gao Yang's opinion, the first prototype m1911 participating in the bidding is much more precious than Alessandro's works, so Gao Yang's eyes lit up, he grabbed Morgan's hand, and said loudly: "make a deal!"

Morgan shook his head again and again: "No, no, this is not a transaction, you gave me a gift, and then I returned the gift, please, it's just a prototype gun, how can it be compared to Alessandro's work ? If it was a deal, I'd die of shame."

Gao Yang felt that he had taken advantage of it. There were very few military fans who were not interested in World War II. Although it was not difficult to get a gun from the World War II period, it was in perfect condition and completely original, reaching the level of a collectible. Now Morgan not only gave Gao Yang a prototype M1911 gun, but also promised to give Gao Yang all German and American squads with light weapons. This gift is too heavy.

Even if Gao Yang was given a million pounds, Gao Yang might not be able to collect all these guns. Of course, it didn't mean that he didn't have enough money, but that he didn't have the opportunity and time to collect the guns he liked.

Just like Morgan, he was rich, but he couldn't buy the old gun he dreamed of. If it wasn't for Gao Yang's fate, Morgan might not be able to get a piece of Alessandro's work in his life.
