    Listening to Morgan excitedly reporting a long list of names, Gao Yang also became excited.

    ¡°If Alessandro¡¯s gun is as valuable to collectors as Van Gogh¡¯s paintings, how much can this gun sell for?¡±

    Hearing Gao Yang's question, Morgan looked a little embarrassed. He shrugged and said, "Well, you have to understand that there are very few people who collect antique guns, and the circle is also very small, so you can't expect a gun to be sold.  The price is too high, but at a Sotheby's auction in London in 1998, an Alejandro gun sold for a high price of 280,000 pounds, but the gun was more worn than yours.  The gun is much higher, so I estimate that your gun can fetch at least 400,000 pounds or more. Another advantage of your gun is that it was once collected by Queen Victoria, and there is a British inscription on the butt.  The royal emblem and Victoria's signature are an orderly inheritance and can add a lot of color to your gun, so I estimate that your gun will fetch at least half a million pounds."

    Gao Yang touched 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: "Make no mistake, the value 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 really collect, not just to keep them for a few years and then sell them at 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. I always felt very sorry, but God actually used your hand to give me a better one.  Yes, high, sell it to me. You must sell it to me. Don¡¯t set the price yet. Although I am basically certain that this gun is genuine, I have no research on European badges, and there are at least two on your gun.  There is a family crest and two personal seals, which means that there are other people who 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 before I can give it to you.  Set a price for the gun, high, and you have to sell it to me."

    Gao Yang shrugged and said, "I won't sell it."

    Morgan's face became very exciting. He didn't want to force Gao Yang, but he really couldn't bear to part with the gun in his hand. After the expression on his face changed several times, Morgan almost said in a pleading tone: "Gao, please think about it again."  Can you sell it to me? Okay, I know this makes you very embarrassed. Everyone wants to have their own dream gun. My request is too much. So, please let me enjoy it for a few days? A  Can a month work? No, a week? How about that?"

    "It's yours, enjoy it however you want."

    "Sorry, what did you say?"

    "What I mean is that 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 appreciate it however you want."

    Morgan shook his head vigorously and said: "You said you gave me the gun? Oh, God, this is Alejandro's work! You just gave it to me with just one sentence?"

    "Have I made it clear enough? Okay, I'll repeat it again. This gun is given to you. This is a small gift from me. I hope you like it. Well, I know you like it very much, but  Can you please stop making a face like you're going to cry? Don't be too moved. I just like the double-barreled shotgun, so I chose it from a lot of guns. I don't know Alessandro at all.  With this name, this gun is not even my dream gun. What I like are old guns from World War II. Even if I collect them, I am still collecting antique World War II guns. So I give this gun to you, but remember to store it in  Give me back the Mauser 98k and p38 you have there."

    Morgan hugged the double-barreled shotgun tightly in his arms and said with a ferocious expression: "I want to show that damn guy, make him cry with jealousy, and show off Alfonso's gun in front of me.  For half a year, I must make him cry this time. I will bring this gun to the American Antique Gun Association exhibition to let those guys know that I, Morgan Reeves, have an Alessandro.  The works are still in the most perfect condition, and they are still collected by the British royal family members who love hunting. I am going to be famous!"

    Morgan looked like a child who had received a beloved gift. Judging from the way Morgan gritted his teeth, he might have been ridiculed before because he lacked a large enough collection. Now he can't wait to get his beloved gift.  Show off to everyone.

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

    Morgan's face was filled with joy, and after nodding heavily, he said solemnly: "Happiness comes so suddenly, I'm a little embarrassed, Gao, thank you for your courtesy."?, I like it very much. You said you like old guns from World War II?  Great, you like those, tell me.  "

    Gao Yang thought for a while and said: "I like German and American team small weapons, but that one is my favorite. Well, let me think about it"

    "Needless to say, German and American guns, right? I understand. I will find you all the German and American guns. I will ensure that they are the best collections. Every part is original. Also,  You like the m1911, don't you? I have a 1911 prototype experimental gun. It was one of the batch of experimental guns that Browning personally supervised the production of at the Colt Hartford factory. Although it has not been tested to the extreme, it is preserved because of this.  It¡¯s intact, it¡¯s yours now, I¡¯ll bring it to you next time I see you.¡±

    In Gao Yang's opinion, the prototype m1911, one of the first batch to participate in the bidding, is much more precious and expensive than any of Alessandro's works, so Gao Yang's eyes also shone. He held Morgan's hand and said loudly:  "make a deal!"

    Morgan shook his head repeatedly and said: "No, no, this is not a deal. This is you giving me a gift, and then I will give you a gift in return. Please, it is just a prototype gun. How can it be compared to Alessandro's work?  ?If this was the deal, I would die of shame."

    Gao Yang felt that he had taken a big advantage. 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 era, getting one was in perfect condition and completely original, reaching the level of a collection.  It's hard to find guns. Now Morgan not only gave Gao Yang an M1911 prototype gun, but also promised to give Gao Yang small arms for all his German and American teams. This gift in return is too heavy.

    Even if Gao Yang is given one million pounds, Gao Yang may not be able to collect all these guns. Of course, it is not that there is not enough money, but that he simply does not have the opportunity and time to collect the guns he likes.

    Just 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 be able to get a piece of Alejandro's work in his life.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
