When I walked into the gun store, the owner Brown, who was in his fifties, immediately greeted him with a smile.
“Stephen, welcome to our business again!”
Hearing this, Ye Tian could only smile bitterly.
I have visited here several times in the past six months, but every time I come, I sell guns instead of buying them.
The boss Brown in front of me may not look amiable, but he is definitely a profiteer. He can say that a new gun that has only been used three or five times is junk and worthless. He will give him a very low price. take away.
But today is different. It’s absolutely impossible for you old guy not to bleed some blood!
“Yes, I’m still here to sell guns today!”
Ye Tian walked up to Brown with a smile
“You are very welcome, take out your baby and let me admire it”
Of course Ye Tian is welcome. Ye Tian has given a lot of money to this place, so he can be regarded as a high-quality customer.
Ye Tian did not take out the gun immediately, but said seriously.
“Brown, do you want to change places? This is not an ordinary gun, it is an antique pistol, and the price is relatively expensive”
“Wow! That’s great! Can you tell me what brand of pistol it is? And its origin. I don’t accept illegal guns. I will be in big trouble!”
Brown was excited at first, then became very cautious.
He knew something about Ye Tian’s situation. He was already in danger. How could there be antique guns for sale? Maybe there is something wrong with the source?
“Don’t worry, the gun is legal and has a clear provenance. It was just obtained through a warehouse auction. Preston Warehousing Company can provide me with proof.
The pistol is a Ruger P08, produced in 1940. How about it? Are you interested? If you are interested, we can talk. If you are not interested, I will have to go elsewhere.”
Ye Tian smiled and explained
After hearing these words, Brown almost jumped up with excitement.
“Wow! You are such a lucky boy. You were able to find a Ruger P08 in an abandoned warehouse. God has already begun to favor you.
I have always wanted to take over Ruger, but I never had this opportunity. You are really an angel sent to me by God. Let’s go inside and talk! “
If it weren’t for the counter between the two parties, Brown might have hugged Ye Tianmeng and kissed him!
Then, Brown asked the clerk to look at the store, and he impatiently took Ye Tian into the negotiation room inside.
Before opening the backpack, Ye Tian said jokingly:
“Brown, how is your heart? If it is not very healthy, I suggest you prepare the medicine first, and then I will take out this pistol, lest you get too excited and cause problems, it is not worth it!”
“Don’t worry, there’s no problem. I’m strong enough to kill a cow now. Take out your treasure quickly. I’m impatient!”
Brown rubbed his hands and said excitedly, his eyes fixed on Ye Tian’s backpack.
“Well, the surprise moment has arrived!”
Ye Tian unzipped his backpack and gently took out the gun case.
“Wow! It’s so exquisite. This must be a collector’s item. It’s well protected.”
Brown’s eyes began to shine.
Next, Ye Tian opened the gun case and revealed the Ruger P08 inside.
Brown’s eyes widened in an instant, almost flying out of his eyes. He stared straight at the pistol shining with cold metal light. His breathing was as rapid as a train, and he was huffing and puffing. Scary!
“Please enjoy it, I believe you will fall deeply in love with this baby!”
Ye Tian smiled and pushed the gun case in front of Brown.
“I’m madly in love with it! It’s so beautiful, it’s the best thing the Krauts have ever produced, the most elegant pistol!”
Brown was so excited that he was almost incoherent.
“Hahaha”
Ye Tian laughed.
Next, Ye Tian sat quietly next to him with a smile.
Brown jumped on the Ruger with great fanaticism, especially when he saw the skull logo above the grip, his excited eyes almost burst into flames.
The room became very quiet, no one spoke, only the breathing of the two people and the sound of playing with guns could be heard.
Ten minutes passed quickly. Brown took his eyes away from the pistol with difficulty and looked at Ye Tian.
“Thank you very much for the baby you brought, it’s so beautiful!”
“This is indeed a work of art in a pistol, and I like it very much”
Ye Tian responded with a smile.
“Can we talk about the price next? I really want it to become my treasure!”
Brown’s hand was always on the pistol and he was unwilling to move away for a second, looking like he was determined to win.
“I’m here to sell it. Make a price. If it’s reasonable, I’ll keep it with you. I believe you will make a reasonable offer. After all, this is a Ruger P08”
Ye Tian planned to let the other party make an offer first and then deal with it himself.
Brown pondered for a while, then said:
“This pistol is in very good condition and is 100% original. The production serial number is also very clear. It has not been fired many times. It should be considered a high-quality pistol in the collection.
The current auction price of the Ruger P08 is 20,000 US dollars. Considering that our relationship has always been good, I bid 8,000 US dollars for this pistol. Do you think it is okay? ”
Ye Tian was overjoyed, he was worthy of being a noble among pistols! But the price is far from its true value!
So he did not reply, but looked at Brown with a meaningful smile.
Seeing Ye Tian’s unpredictable smile, Brown understood that it was impossible to win this price.
“Okay, 10,000 US dollars, this price is very fair. After all, it is a private transaction, not at an auction. It is impossible to sell it for such a high price”
The price is indeed very fair for a regular Ruger, but is this a regular Ruger? Obviously not!
“Brown, you should have seen the SS logo on the top of the grip, which means that this is a special pistol for the SS. And what does that skull represent? I don’t need to explain it anymore, right?
Do you think the price of $10,000 is appropriate? It’s best to re-offer the price. Otherwise, I have no choice but to leave. I believe there are many people who like this gun, and there are definitely not a few who are willing to spend a lot of money to buy it.”
Brown’s face suddenly turned red and a little embarrassed.
It seems that there must be a lot of bleeding today, otherwise the skull Luger will definitely not be left. Letting the gun slip away in front of your eyes is absolutely impossible!
This is an investment 10,000 times more than bank insurance! How could you miss it?
There are countless people in the United States who collect guns. As long as they buy this gun, when they have had enough fun, they can resell it and get two or three times the profit. Is there anything more cost-effective than this?
Thinking of this, Brown became more determined to get the pistol. He no longer made any detours with Ye Tian and directly offered a price that was in line with the value of the pistol.
After all, he is a businessman, and being thick-skinned is a necessary psychological quality. Brown’s face returned to normal in the blink of an eye, and he said with a smile:
“Since you know Ruger so well, let’s not beat around the bush. What do you think of $20,000?”
The price is quite reasonable, but who thinks it’s too much money!
“I think US$30,000 is a more reasonable price and meets my expectations”
Ye Tian smiled and returned the price.
“22,000 US dollars is the maximum price I can pay. If it exceeds this price, it means that I have no fate with this beautiful baby”
Brown looked at the pistol with pain and reluctance, gritted his teeth and gave another price.
Ye Tian ignored him at all and said to himself:
“The acting is great! Why don’t you go to Broadway to act? Staying in Brooklyn is really burying the talent!”
He smiled and offered a new price.
“28,000, this is already a friendly price. I took a step back because of our good relationship.”
“You are such a devil! 24,000, I can’t take out more, this is all my hard-earned money!”
Brown said painfully, his hand still rubbing Luger on the table.
“$26,000, this is the final price. If you can’t accept it, forget it. I’m going to go to the Brooklyn Bridge to have a look.
I used to work there and knew a lot of wealthy people, many of whom collected antique guns. I thought I would be able to get a very good price for them.”
Ye Tian smiled and continued to attack, issuing some small threats.
Brown pressed his hand tightly on Luger and never relaxed for a moment.
He didn’t want this pistol to fly away from his eyes and fall into the hands of those **** in suits on Wall Street.
“How about $25,000, pick the middle number? If I can, I’ll write you a check right now, cash is fine, a brand new $100 bill!”
“I insist on $26,000. We can go to the shooting range and try the gun. If it fires normally and there is no problem with its performance, we will make the deal for $26,000.
If there are any other defects, the price will be $24,000. What do you think? I think this is the best way, everyone is happy! ”
Ye Tian made a new suggestion, which was very tempting.
In addition to wanting to make more money, he also wants to experience this world-famous gun. This is an experience he has never had before. Now that he has encountered it, he must not miss it!
Brown pondered for a moment, then stood up and extended his hand excitedly.
“OK, deal! Let’s go to the shooting range”
“Deal!”
Ye Tian stood up and shook Brown’s hand excitedly, then picked up the gun case and went with Brown to the shooting range located underneath the gun store.
Ten minutes later.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!…”
The crisp sound of pistol shooting began to sound in the underground shooting range.
As the Ruger in Ye Tian’s hand continued to fire, bullets poured out of the gun in the blink of an eye. The human-shaped target on the shooting range was shaken constantly, and its head was beaten to pieces.
After shooting and checking the barrel of the gun, Ye Tian sighed excitedly:
“It deserves to be called a Swiss watch gun! It’s so accurate! It hits wherever you point it!”
“Come on, let me experience this elegant nobleman with a gun!”
Brown’s hands are already itching unbearably! He took the pistol and started loading bullets into the magazine.
“Bang! Bang! Bang!…”
The gunfire rang out again soon, and it felt very satisfying to hear it.
After enjoying themselves, the two left the shooting range together and completed the remaining aspects of the transaction.
Half an hour passed quickly, and Ye Tian walked out of the bank on another street with great ambition
At noon, he only had fifty US dollars, but now he had 6,000 US dollars in his bag. His bank card balance was no longer zero, and he already had a deposit of 20,000 US dollars.
Life starts to be beautiful again!
