Starting My Treasure Hunting In England

After listening to Mr. Carter's quotation, Liang En and Pierce looked at each other and nodded slightly. In their opinion, the price offered by the other party is indeed good.

Although Pierce doesn't know much about weapons, he still knows the approximate market price, so Pierce's estimate of this thing before coming here was about 300,000.

Seeing Liang En and Pierce communicating with their eyes, Carter thought they were not satisfied with the price, so he quickly explained:

"I know that the production of this gun is very small. Especially one with all kinds of accessories is very precious and the price is not cheap. But the market for this thing is also very small."

"Especially since the caliber of this thing exceeds 20mm, it should be considered an artillery piece. It is considered a military weapon of mass destruction in most areas, so there are not many collectors who are qualified to buy this thing."

"As for the other collections you brought, although they are of good quality, they are all relatively common items, so the prices are public, and I don't make much money from you -"

"Of course, of course we understand this." Liang En nodded and said. "Mr. Carter, these things belong to you now."

"Thank you, thank you so much." After hearing what Liang En said, Carter's face immediately burst into a smile. “This is a great addition to the collection and will definitely be the center of attention at your next shooting party in Wickip, Arizona.”

The party Mr. Carter is talking about is a famous shooting feast in the United States. It is held once in April and October every year. It is considered an important gathering of American shooting enthusiasts. Here, everyone can use various firearms, even large-caliber artillery to shoot.

In the United States, you can legally own a heavy gun with a caliber above 100mm, but there are only a few areas that can provide shooting venues for these enthusiastic enthusiasts, and this place in the Arizona desert is one of them.

Obviously, the price of artillery is obviously much more expensive than that of firearms, so the guys who can own artillery are definitely not poor, so such gatherings will naturally become an occasion for them to show off their wealth.

Therefore, for Mr. Carter, such a rare firearm is naturally very suitable for this kind of gathering of gun enthusiasts, and becomes the most eye-catching one in the gathering.

"By the way, how can I pay you this amount?" Carter suddenly asked after recovering from his excitement. "Do you want a check, transfer or barter?"

"Please allow us to discuss it." After hearing these options, Liang En apologized to Mr. Carter, then took Pierce aside and asked.

"This is your thing, so I can only make a suggestion." Pierce said to Liang En after walking aside, "But I think if the thing in the other person's hand is better, then it is better for you to choose things than money. Some."

"Why?" Liang En asked curiously. "You know we are in the United States now. It is more troublesome to take a bunch of things back than to bring money back, and it is also more difficult to take action."

"Yes, of course I know that." Pierce smiled. "But as you said, this place is the United States, so the transaction tax in this region is also very high. If you choose to collect money-"

"I understand." Liang En nodded very seriously. After being reminded by Pierce, he also realized that this transaction, whether it was a transfer or a check, would charge a large amount of tax.

There is a saying in the United States that there are two things that are inevitable in the United States, one of which is death and the other is taxes.

So if Liang En doesn't want to pay this tax, which may be as high as about 100,000 US dollars, choosing barter may be the best way to avoid paying so much tax.

"Thank you very much for the option you provided, Mr. Carter." After thinking about this, Liang En walked towards Mr. Carter and said. "Can I ask what's available for me to choose from? You know, we're not Americans, so—"

"Don't worry, my inventory is not limited to those weapons. I have a very diverse collection. As long as you are not too picky, you should be able to pick good things from my treasure house." Carter immediately understood what Liang En was hesitating, so he explained arrive.

The reason why Carter made such a request was that although he had some money as the owner of a chain restaurant, paying out 500,000 in cash at one time also made his funds somewhat tight.

So he tried to pay the bill to see if he could exchange the collection for this gun. But now it seems that Liang En is not opposed to this kind of exchange.

"If there is something more suitable, then I am willing to exchange the collection." Hearing this, Liang En nodded. After all, he got Jeanne d'Arc's ring and Ikkyu's handwriting in exchange for the last collection, so naturally he wanted to try his luck this time.

"But if I don't have anything suitable, then I might need you to write me a check."

"Don't worry, my collection is very large in quantity and variety. You will definitely not leave empty-handed." Carter patted Liang En on the shoulder and said. "And if what you choose is not enough, we will spend money to make up for it."

After the communication, Liang En and the four of them took the World War II antiques to the door of the basement warehouse under the leadership of Carter. As soon as they walked out of the stairwell, several people were shocked by the door of the underground warehouse.

Because the door of this underground warehouse is made of a round piece of metal, it looks very thick and strong, and there is a handle similar to a car steering wheel in the center of the door.

"This is a bit like the door of a bank vault." Liang En said after recalling the movies he had watched before.

"Yes, this is the door to the bank vault." Carter looked proud. "You know Philadelphia is an old city, so there are many old buildings, and I bought this door five or six years ago when the local Citibank upgraded its equipment."

Because there are things like artillery in the collection, according to the law, unless the firing function is removed, they are not allowed to be placed at home, so Carter simply piled all his collections under the gun store. In the underground warehouse.

When the door was opened, a huge warehouse with an area of ​​more than 600 square meters and a height of 4 meters appeared in front of everyone.

"This is simply a big deal." Fan Meng exclaimed, "It is definitely not an easy task to dig out such a large space 20 meters underground."

"This used to be an ammunition depot for the National Guard during the Cold War. It was abandoned after the Cold War. Otherwise, I would never have dug up such a depot based on my words." Carter explained, with a proud expression on his face.

As Carter said before, the things in this warehouse are very complicated. In addition to a pile of various firearms, various sculptures, furniture, oil paintings, etc., fill the whole room.

"All my collection that can be exchanged is now here." After putting away the firearms, military uniforms and other things that he brought in before, Carter pointed to the warehouse and said, "Take whatever you like, at most Something worth 500,000 yuan.”
