When he arrived in Los Angeles, it was morning. Instead of going to the law firm to handle the inheritance formalities, Gao Yang went to Mr. Federer's house first.
The doorbell rang and a middle-aged man Gao Yang didn't know opened the door.
Seeing Gao Yang, the middle-aged man who opened the door whispered, "who are you looking for?"
"I'm here to visit Mrs. Federer. I'm Mr. Federer's friend," he said in a loud voice
Gao Yang wore very serious clothes and his face was solemn. The man in central and southern China nodded and said to Gao Yang, "my name is Max Federer. You must be Mr. Gao, right? The heir to my father's inheritance."
Gao Yang nodded and said in a deep voice, "yes, it's me."
Max stretched out his hand, shook hands with Gao Yang and said in a deep voice, "please come in."
When Gao Yang was invited into the living room, Max whispered, "are you here to receive the inheritance?"
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "no, I haven't seen a lawyer yet. I just want to see it first and then go to Mr. Federer's cemetery. As for the reception of the inheritance, it's not urgent."
Max nodded, "just a moment, please."
Max got up and left. After a while, Mrs. Federer came out slowly. When she saw Gao Yang, she slightly opened her arms and looked sad.
Gao Yang immediately stood up, walked up to Mrs. Federer and whispered, "Mrs. Federer, I'm sorry I'm late."
Mrs. Federer looked a little sad. After embracing Gao Yang gently at the door for a moment, she gently wiped away the tears from the corners of her eyes and whispered, "he was very peaceful when he left."
After Max helped his mother sit on the sofa, he reached out to Gao Yang to ask him to sit down. Then he sat aside and said frankly, "Mr. Gao, when are you going to receive the inheritance? It's my father's collection."
Gao Yang felt embarrassed to talk about this topic, because Federer didn't leave his legacy to his children, but gave it to him. In front of Federer's son, he couldn't speak about the collections. In Gao Yang's eyes with very traditional ideas, those things should belong to max.
You know, Federer's collection is not cheap. It's not a souvenir with more commemorative significance than money, but a lot of wealth. Hundreds of antique guns are at least worth hundreds of thousands of dollars. There should be no problem if the total value is more than one million dollars. For an ordinary American family, it's a huge wealth.
Gao Yang coughed unnaturally and said, "I'm going to have a look first, then talk to the lawyer about the inheritance, and ask your opinions before meeting the lawyer to get Mr. Federer's collection."
Gao Yang is not short of money. He is short of big money, but one hundred thousand is not a big figure for him now, so he prefers to buy those guns after Mr. Federer's death, rather than inherit them as Federer's inheritance.
Max thought for a moment and said in a deep voice, "Mr. Gao, my father left a will. Those guns already belong to you. You can come here at any time and take away all the guns. Oh, there is a list. It has legal effect after being witnessed by a lawyer. Where the lawyer is, you can check the list."
After that, Max shrugged and said in a deep voice, "those guns already belong to you. Logically, I have no right to ask what you plan to do with those guns, but I want to ask, what are you going to do with those guns? Will you sell them?"
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "no, I won't sell one. In addition, I want to ask, Mr. Federer was investigating the exhibition venue before his death, right?"
Max nodded, "yes, his wish is to hold an exhibition to show his lifelong collection, but unfortunately, he failed to fulfill his wish."
Gao Yang sighed softly and said in a deep voice, "well, after accepting the heritage, I will fulfill Mr. Federer's wish, and this exhibition will be held. In addition, I plan to set up a private museum, which will be ordered in Mr. Federer's name to display his collection."
Max nodded and said to Gao Yang, "thank you. My father found a suitable successor for his collection. I have no problem, but Mr. Gao, I have something to remind you."
With emotion on his face, Max opened his hand to Gao Yang and said: "My father loves his collection, and I also want to help him realize his wish, but holding exhibitions is a matter that consumes financial resources and energy, and opening a private museum is more complicated. This is not a job that you can let go after investing a sum of money, but a job that needs long-term investment. Therefore, I don't suggest you really open a museum."
After that, Max sighed: "in fact, keeping these guns is a very laborious job. If I inherited those guns, I must sell most of them and leave a small part as a souvenir, because I really can't take care of the collections like my father, so it's really a right choice for my father to leave his collection to you."
Gao Yang didn't speak, but silently analyzed the feasibility of opening a private museum in his heart. Max was right. In fact, there are still too few lovers of Mauser pistols. Opening a museum for these pistols is a small matter, and it still costs too much effort. In terms of his leisure time, it is not very possible.
Opening a museum is not a matter of getting a house and putting things in it. Someone has to take care of it. If a museum is opened but the door is always closed, what's the point of opening the museum? In addition, the problem of anti-theft should also be considered. It can't be thrown aside. Therefore, this small special museum is best to be a family Museum. Unfortunately, Gao Yang can't go home several times a year, and it seems too extravagant to hire someone to take charge of the operation of the museum.
After thinking about it, Gao Yang nodded and said: "Yes, for me, the time is not too ripe to open a museum. Now I want to entrust all Mr. Federer's collections to a company specializing in exhibitions, and then hold a national tour for one year. When the exhibition is over, I will collect them in my warehouse. When the time is ripe in the future, I may open a private museum and These collections are on display inside. "
Mrs. Federer sighed, then whispered to Gao Yang, "this is the best ending. Gao, thank you. Norbert will thank you in heaven. You have fulfilled his last wish."
Max also extended his hand to Gao Yang and said in a deep voice, "thank you, Mr. Gao. Thank you for your willingness to do all this."
Max has to thank Gao Yang for entrusting a professional company to a free exhibition in major cities in the United States. Even if the exhibits are small, do not occupy a place and do not need much space, they will cost at least hundreds of thousands of dollars. This is still the minimum cost. If the time is extended to one year, the cost will easily reach millions.
Federer has four children, but Gao Yang only wanted to visit Mrs. Federer this time. He didn't expect to meet Federer's children. It was an accident to meet Federer's son, but he was glad to complete the whole process of accepting the legacy after reaching an agreement with Federer's children.
In fact, Gao Yang is also worried that he needs a lawsuit before he can get the inheritance. This kind of thing is very common, because Federer left not only trouble, but also a lot of wealth. Fortunately, Federer's wife and children respected his last wish and didn't raise any objection.
After chatting for a while, Gao Yang thought Max was also a good person. He left contact information with Max and comforted Mrs. Federer again. Gao Yang asked Max to lead him to Federer's cemetery.
After taking Gao Yang to the place and putting the flowers in front of the tombstone, Max stood up in front of his father's tomb, held the tombstone and whispered for a long time, nodded to Gao Yang, and then left alone, leaving a space for Gao Yang and Federer to get along alone.
Gao Yang stood in front of Federer's tombstone for a long time, but he didn't know what to say.
Federer is not a particularly good friend of Gao Yang, but he can be regarded as his confidant. During the short time with Federer, their communication is very happy, so Gao Yang is sad, very sad.
Federer is very old. His death is not a very unexpected outcome. In Gao Yang's life, the death of another old man not only makes him sad, but also very angry. The old man is Fedor, and Federer's death makes Gao Yang feel sad and have a strong sense of loss.
A sense of loss, an extremely strong sense of loss.
After a long time, Gao Yang finally whispered, "Mr. Federer, thank you for your trust. I will inherit your heritage and treat our favorite collections well. In addition, I will fulfill your wishes and your collection will be displayed in front of the world."
After that, Gao Yang sighed a long sigh, and then said, "Mr. Federer, I know that life, age and death must be experienced, but I'm still very sad when you die, because there is no one in the world who can share happiness with me. Mr. Federer, I wish you all the best in heaven."
After that, according to Chinese tradition, Gao Yang bowed three times in front of Federer's tombstone and turned around and left.
After taking a few steps, Gao Yang still felt flustered, so he stopped, took out his mobile phone and dialed out.
After waiting for the phone to connect, he said in a loud and deep voice: "Kim Fang, I'm in Los Angeles. Come here in the afternoon when you're free. Take a private plane. I'll tell Morgan and let him arrange a pilot to fly. Well, you can wait for ye Lianna after class and pick her up. She doesn't have classes tomorrow weekend. You can come together."
Li JinFang said in a deep voice, "I see. What's the matter?"
Gao Yang sighed: "Mr. Federer died. I feel very uncomfortable now. I feel very bad, very bad, so I decided to play."
