Chapter 349

Morgan was in a much better mood.

After being stunned for a moment, Morgan said, "although I still can't accept such a foolish act of engraving on a work of art, you're right. I'm lucky to get this gun."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "it seems that this is another very good collection."

"Clemens Wittgenstein's works are very popular in the antique gun collection industry. The degree of rarity is different from that of Alessandro's works. Moreover, the survival volume of Clemens's works is too small, and most of the preservation conditions are not very ideal. Therefore, from the performance of the auction market, the transaction price of a perfect Clemens's works is higher than that of Alessandro's works The quality is not low, but Clemens' works have not appeared in the market for many years. I can't make an accurate valuation. "

Compared with other works of art, the market price of antique shotguns is very cheap. A famous oil painting can fetch tens of millions of dollars, but the transaction price of a top antique shotgun is only $200000 or $300000. Even a rare antique gun has a transaction price of less than $1 million.

The price of the antique gun is not high, and Gao Yang wants to give the gun to Morgan, so Gao Yang is neither interested nor able to ask Morgan how much the gift he sent is worth.

Gao Yang shrugged and said, "as long as you like it, it doesn't matter how much it's worth."

Morgan sighed and said: "Like? It's more than like. You know, it's my long cherished wish to find a Clemens work, and it's also my father's wish. Unfortunately, my father couldn't find a Clemens work until his death. I spent many years and only found a Clemens handmade gun that can't be fired. The gun you found is not only perfectly preserved, but also can be fired, And there is a proverb engraved on it. You know, only the works most satisfactory to Clemens will engrave proverbs on it. Therefore, this gun is also the most precious in Clemens's works. "

Gao Yang smiled and said, "so you collect antique shotguns or father son origin. Congratulations. I believe your father will be happy for you."

With another long sigh, Morgan said with emotion: "you know, getting a work that Clemens can shoot is far from a happy thing for me. This is an ideal. This is the common wish of my father and me. Therefore, Gao, thank you. You have fulfilled my long cherished wish with my father. I don't know how to thank you."

Gao Yang smiled, waved his hand and said: "With our relationship, there's no need to say thank you. Please, if you hadn't found a military plane to send them to save me, it's likely that I was a corpse now. You don't know. The situation was really dangerous at that time. If you hadn't helped, they couldn't have rushed to save me in time. In fact, I really appreciate you."

Morgan got a dream baby, but he didn't seem particularly happy, but he was more filled with emotion.

Morgan said in a deep voice, "it's not too difficult for me to find a plane to send people there, but I've been looking for Clemens' works for decades. You don't know what a Clemens' works mean to me."

After that, Morgan sighed again and said: "It's a long story. My mother is a Jew. She lives in Austria and has a good family. When she was a child, my grandfather took her to hunt with a Clemens shotgun. This is my mother's most precious memory, but later, everything changed. My grandfather was sent to the concentration camp. All the family died except my mother.

Later, my mother immigrated to the United States, met my father and married him. Everything about my mother is gone. All she can keep is memory. For my mother, the memory of hunting with her father is very good, so my father wants to find a Clemens gun, which is similar to that in my mother's memory, and give it to my mother, but Clemens's gun is too rare, my father I couldn't find it all my life.

Because he wanted to find Clemens' works, my father became a collector of antique guns, and his desire and interest passed on to me. "

After that, Morgan said sadly, "Gao, thank you really. You brought me more than a gun."

Gao Yang nodded and said in a deep voice, "I'm very glad you like my gift."

Morgan smiled and said, "you always bring me luck and surprise. A Clemens work engraved with proverbs is really rare. I didn't dare believe it until I got the gun in my hand."

Gao Yang said curiously, "what's the origin of Clemens?"

"Clemens Wittgenstein is an Austrian of Italian descent. His gun making and carving techniques integrate the styles of Italy and Austria. His peak period was from 1840 to 1870. Clemens's works have a characteristic, that is, he will carve a proverb on the works to be given to someone, and he is still very satisfied with them."

After that, Morgan shrugged and said: "The glorious road engraved on the gun is not paved with flowers, but I don't know when the gun was Clemens's work or who it was given to. I checked a lot of information, but I didn't find any information about the gun. You know, the antique gun is just an unpopular collection object, and the information is far from as rich as the mainstream art."

Gao Yang said with a smile, "whoever he gave it to, anyway, the gun is in your hand."

Morgan touched the gold words on the butt of the gun and said with a depressed face: "I know an expert who has a lot of research on Clemens' works. He should be able to tell the origin of the gun, and he can repair the gun, because there are some problems with the source of the gun. I didn't intend to ask him for advice, but now, I have to ask him to repair the gun and remove the gold characters."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "the gun is yours. If you really can't stand that line of words, you can't see it."

Morgan nodded and said helplessly, "I'm not afraid of trouble. Compared with possible trouble, this line of words is more unacceptable to me, so I must solve this line of words immediately."

After that, Morgan took out the phone. He didn't want to wait any longer.

After the phone was connected, Morgan said to the phone in a deep voice: "Hello, Mr. Lewis, this is Morgan. I now have a Clemens work. Can you repair it for me on the premise of absolute confidentiality?"

After waiting for a moment, Mo got the answer he wanted. Morgan smiled and said, "thank you very much. I will see you as soon as possible. In addition, I want to ask you. There is a Latin proverb engraved on my gun. The glorious road is not paved with flowers. Do you know the origin of this gun?"

After that, after listening to the voice from the other end of the phone, Morgan's face immediately became extremely wonderful, shocked, incredible, ecstatic and a little sad. Morgan's face changed many expressions continuously, but in the final analysis, it was a word, surprise, extreme surprise.

After he put down the phone, Morgan looked at Gao Yang with a dull face.

Gao Yang didn't know what had happened. When he was going to ask Morgan what had happened, he saw Morgan suddenly throw his shotgun in one fell swoop, and then shouted, "ah! Ah! I am the luckiest person in the world. God, thank God, Gao, I love you, I love you, I love you!"

Gao Yang was startled again, and the three bodyguards brought by Morgan were also startled. They had stood more than ten meters away from Morgan and Gao Yang. At this time, they also turned their heads and looked at Morgan in surprise. Until they heard what Morgan shouted, they looked at Gao Yang strangely, and then turned their heads to one side.

Gao Yang has known Morgan for a long time. He has never seen Morgan lose his manners, whether it's a dangerous moment when his life is threatened, when his only son Bob is rescued, or when he gets a beloved gift. When Gao Yang meets Morgan, he can only see Morgan with a light face. Now he yells and is extremely excited Morgan, it's like a different person.

After roaring, Morgan shouted to Gao Yang, "Fark, Gao, tell me what you want, what you want! If I don't repay you, God will punish me!"

Morgan, with his mouth full of saliva, sprayed on Gao Yang's face. After Gao Yang wiped his face, he said carefully, "Morgan, are you okay? What happened?"

Morgan was as happy as a child. He smiled and wiped away the tears from his eyes and shouted: "This gun was ordered by Franz Joseph I, the founder of the Austro Hungarian Empire, from Clemens in 1856. Franz Joseph I ordered two guns to hunt with him. The proverb on this gun is a glorious road, not paved with flowers. Franz Joseph I used it himself. The other gun is engraved with love is the essence of life Quintessence is a gift from Franz Joseph I to his wife Elizabeth Amelie orgeni. You may not be familiar with the name Elizabeth Amelie orgeni, but you must know the other name. She is Princess Sisi, who has become the queen of Austria and the queen of Hungary. "

Gao Yang was startled and said, "is that Princess Sisi of the movie Princess Sisi?"

Gao Yang's words had some language problems, but Morgan still understood them. After nodding, he said, "yes, it's the sissy princess."

After saying that, Morgan said with tears in his eyes, "Gao, the wheel of fate has turned. What excites me is not who has used the gun, but the meaning it represents. You know, the proverb engraved on the gun used by my grandfather and mother is: love is the essence of life."
