    Seeing Jack getting acquainted with the old man selling the gun, Gao Yang and the three of them stopped talking.

    The old man selling the gun stretched out his hand to Jack. After shaking hands with Jack, he pointed to his head and said with a helpless smile: "I am old and my memory is not very good. I'm sorry that I can't remember you."  coming."

    Jack said anxiously: "It doesn't matter, Mr. Federer, I want to know why you are selling your collection. Don't you claim that you will never sell your collection? If I knew you started selling, I would be really happy to buy it."  Buy whatever collection you are willing to sell, as everyone knows that Mr. Federer¡¯s collection is a fine one.¡±

    Federer helplessly spread his hands and said: "I have some financial problems. If I want to continue collecting, I have to sell part of the collection. Some gun dealers went to my place to see it, but the prices they offered were too low.  , so I wanted to come to the gun show to see if I could sell it at a price that I thought was reasonable. Fortunately, this gentleman just said he wanted to buy them all, but he hadn¡¯t had time to negotiate the price with me yet, so  I don¡¯t know if a deal can actually be done.¡±

    Gao Yang immediately said: "Mr. Federer, we are together. Well, now I want to ask, how much do you plan to sell these guns for?"

    Federer thought for a moment, and after looking at several guns at once, he finally stretched out a palm and said solemnly: "Together, these are fifty thousand dollars."

    Jack grinned. This gun was indeed expensive. It was too expensive. According to the normal price, it would still be about half the price of 50,000. Even 25,000 was not cheap.

    There is a disadvantage in buying things from collectors. They all buy the collection because they like it. When they are forced to sell it, they will charge an excessively high price after adding on the level of their hobbies.

    When you meet a rational buyer, you will naturally not buy a gun with too high a price, but when you meet a buyer like Gao Yang, it is different. In terms of sentiment, Federer thinks these guns are worth the high price, and Gao Yang also thinks they are worth it.  At this price, that's enough.

    "Fifty thousand dollars, right? I'll buy it!"

    After giving Gao Yang a somewhat surprised look, Federer nodded and said, "Are you sure you want them all? Okay, you can buy them, I'll sell them to you."

    Cui Bo looked at Gao Yang at this time and said eagerly: "Brother Yang, give me one, just one, please!"

    Li Jinfang swallowed his saliva and said, "Brother Yang, this, this, I just want one, okay? You pick first, and after you finish picking, give it to us, and I'll pay out the money for you. Isn't this sincere enough?"

    Seeing the disdain on Gao Yang's face, Cui Bo immediately said to Federer: "Sir, do you have anything else for sale here? How many can you sell to me?"

    Li Jinfang also discovered that it was impossible to snatch it from Gao Yang, so he immediately said to Federer: "And me, we want everything you have."

    Before Gao Yang could speak, Federer suddenly said: "I'm sorry, gentlemen, can you tell me what these guns should be called in China?"

    Cui Boxin picked up one in his hand and frowned: "It's called a box gun, or a shell gun. Hey, you don't understand even I speak Chinese."

    Federer shook his head and looked at Li Jinfang. After Li Jinfang scratched his head, he picked up a gun, weighed it, and frowned: "That's right, it's a box gun. We still call it a box gun. We don't have any other name."  Yes."

    Federer shook his head, pointed at Gao Yang, and said: "These guns can all be fired. I have a private shooting range. If you want to try a gun, you can go to my shooting range and try it. In addition, I also have some guns that I plan to sell.  If you are interested, you can go and have a look at my place. If there is a gun you like, I may sell it to you."

    Jack poked Gao Yang excitedly and said loudly: "Mr. Federer is a collector who specializes in collecting Mauser C96. He is a big collector. You are lucky. No, you are very lucky!"

    Gao Yang, who was overjoyed, hurriedly said: "Great, thank you for the invitation, Mr. Federer, I am very willing to visit."

    Federer smiled, extended his hand to Gao Yang, and then smiled while shaking hands: "If I have to sell my beloved collection, then it is obviously the best outcome to hand it to someone who understands them and loves them. I  My name is Norbert Federer, nice to meet you."

    Gao Yang smiled and said: "My name is Gao Yang. I'm really pleased to meet you, Mr. Federer."

    After letting go of his hand, Federer spread his hands towards Cui Bo and Li Jinfang and said helplessly: "Sorry, gentlemen, I can't sell you the gun because you are obviously not real collectors."

    After finishing speaking, Federer smiled at Gao Yang and then pointed.The guns in front of him said: "Mr. Gao, I think you should tell them the correct names of these guns in China."

    Gao Yang nodded, with a proud look on his face, picked up a gun and said: "You see, knowledge is power, no one will sell it to you if you are not educated, listen up, this is called a big eye box, why is it called this?  As for the name, because it has a caliber of 11.43 mm and a large muzzle, it is called a big-eye box. It was made by Taiyuan Arsenal when Yan Laoxi occupied Jin Province. Look here, it has engravings on it, even though it is an imitation.  Yes, but the quality is quite good.¡±

    Cui Bo took it and said with a puzzled look on his face: "Are there any other differences?"

    Gao Yang shook his head, picked up another one, and said loudly: "Look at this, this is called a big mirror. Why is it called a big mirror? Because the sides of the magazine are bright and flat, with nothing engraved on them. It looks like a mirror.  It¡¯s the same, so it¡¯s called a big mirror.

    Look at this again, Big Red 9, why is it called Big Red 9? See the red 9 on the handle? This is a 9mm caliber. After the First World War, Germany changed some Mauser to 9mm caliber in order to distinguish it.  , the imitation was loaded with the wrong bullet, and a red 9 was engraved on the grip.  "

    Li Jinfang shook his head and said: "I really didn't know there were so many differences between box cannons. What about this one? There are words on it. Is it also made in China?"

    Gao Yang nodded and said with a smile: "Yes, this is called Zilaide. Why? This is also an M712 imitated by the Hanyang Engineering and Armory Factory in China. It has twenty rounds of ammunition and is an automatic pistol. The gun has a Zilaide pistol engraved on it, so it is really  The only one you have is the one you hold in your hand."

    After finishing speaking, Gao Yang sighed and said: "Speaking of the m712, we have to start from the beginning again. The c96 came out in 1895. It was basically a semi-automatic pistol with a ten-round fixed magazine. Later, in 1931, Mao  The Se Factory improved the C96 and produced an improved version with a twenty-round detachable magazine, which is the M712. Before the advent of the M712, there was no box gun that could fire continuously. However, after the Hanyang Arsenal in China introduced drawings and other  , started imitation in 1932, and this batch of imitations is called Zilaide, do you understand?"

    Li Jinfang nodded and said, "I didn't know there were so many ways. Now that I know, what about this one? What is it called?"

    Gao Yang took a look and said, "This is called a big-bellied box, and it's also a twenty-round magazine. Just because it contains a lot of bullets, it's called a big-bellied box. It's the same thing if it's called twenty rounds."

    Cui Bo held a gun and said, "Where is this?"

    Gao Yang smiled and said: "This is called a twenty-ring long-barreled mirror. This gun is made in Spain. Although it has a twenty-round ammunition capacity, it has a fixed magazine that cannot be disassembled. The sides of the magazine are also very smooth, so it is called  Twenty-ring long barrels with large mirrors. Let me teach you another trick. Basically, the guns produced by German Mauser are short barrels. Although there are also long barrels, they are very rare. Therefore, if you see long barrels, they are imitations.  , generally not wrong.¡±

    After finishing speaking, Gao Yang looked at Federer and said with a smile: "Mr. Federer, what I know is actually very limited. It just so happens that the few guns here are relatively representative. I can still recognize them, but I don't know.  Is there anything wrong in what I said? If so, please correct me."

    Federer shrugged and said with a smile: "I know that these guns have various names in China, so it is almost impossible for me to understand all the names. Fortunately, there are several names here.  A gun is indeed relatively common, so I still know it, and what you said is the same as what I know, and you are absolutely right."

    Cui Bo sighed and said, "Okay, I won't rob it. I'm too embarrassed to rob it. Brother Yang, it's all yours."

    Li Jinfang also put down the gun in his hand with a look of regret, and said helplessly: "I didn't know there were so many details about a box cannon. Brother Yang knows the goods, so you should keep them well."

    At this time, Federer spread his hands and smiled at Gao Yang: "If you buy them all, then my guns will be sold out. I will leave after completing the formalities. If you have nothing else to do, you can come with me."  Please take a look at your home. If you still have something to do, you can call me at a convenient time. I will be waiting for you at any time."

    Gao Yang couldn't wait any longer and said immediately: "We will go with you. It won't be too late to come back after seeing your collection."

    Federer nodded and turned to find the form for Gao Yang to fill out. At this time, Jack smiled at Gao Yang and said, "You know, buddy, you like Mauser c96, so you have found the right person today. Mr. Federer should be the collector."  He is the biggest player of this gun, and there is a reason why he ended up with c96, do you know why?"

    After Gao Yang thought for a moment, he suddenly had an idea and said urgently: "Mr. Federer, Mr. Federer, the Mauser C96 was designed by the three Federer brothers, but when they finally applied for a patent, it was in the name of Mauser, the owner of the Mauser Arsenal.  To apply, could it be said that Mr. Federer is a descendant of the three Federer brothers, the real designers of the Mauser C96?"

    Jack smiled slightly and said: "Congratulations, you got the answer right." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com)The application was filed in the name of the boss Mauser. Could it be that Mr. Federer is a descendant of the three Federer brothers, the real designers of the Mauser c96?"

    Jack smiled slightly and said: "Congratulations, you got the answer right." (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
