Treasure hunt begins in England

Chapter 73
After exploring the small building, it was already five o'clock in the afternoon, so Liang En left the abandoned town with the things he found as soon as work was over.

When he drove out of the mountains, it was already dark.So he found a safe place, parked the car on the side of the road, and called Mr. Bruce.

"Dear Liang, what's the matter?" It was Mr. Bruce himself who answered the phone, and it could be heard from the phone that he was in a very good mood now.

"It's like this. I found some things from the Prohibition era that I want to sell. After all, I'm not an American. It's a bit difficult to take them away, so I want to ask if you are interested in these things."

"Can you tell me what it is? It's best to send some photos." After hearing Liang Enyi's words, Bruce, who was drinking with some friends, immediately sat up straight and said.

"I'm not interested in this, but I've got a couple of people like me sitting around, and some of them might be interested in these things."

"Understood, thank you, please give me 10 minutes." Hearing what Mr. Bruce said, Liang En thanked him immediately, then hung up the phone and ran to the truck, and then lifted the tarpaulin to take a photo And sent to Mr. Bruce.

A few minutes after sending out the photo, Liang En received a call back from Mr. Bruce.In a call back, Mr. Bruce said that a friend of his who owns a bar was very interested in this, so he wanted him to deliver the item to a residence in Teton County.

At around 10:30 in the evening, Liang En drove the rented pickup into a house a few kilometers away from the small town in Teton County.

When his car had just stopped and hadn't turned off, Bruce, who learned of his arrival from the surveillance, walked out of the room with several middle-aged and elderly people.

"We were having a reception just now." After Liang En got out of the car, Mr. Bruce pulled him aside and whispered. "And after seeing the pictures you posted, everyone wants to see these things"

"It's okay, it's good if there are more people. Anyway, this is not something shady." Looking at the group of people surrounding him, Liang En nodded slightly. "By the way, can you tell me who is interested in my things this time?"

"It's that Mr. Carlos." Bruce pointed to a middle-aged Mexican who was not far away excitedly beckoning the servant to remove the cover and shine the light on the still, "He runs several bars, and Mainly retro style."

"If I remember correctly, his biggest bar in Los Angeles was in the 30s and [-]s. So your stuff should fit your bill."

"Very good, this is the boutique of the bootleg stills in the Prohibition era." As a professional, Mr. Carlos quickly recognized the set of stills and said loudly.

"In other words, although these things are used to brew bootleg wine, they are actually produced by winemakers and workers in regular wineries. The brewed wine is no different from regular wine."

"It was a common thing in those days. They were all out of work because of Prohibition, so naturally there was a need for something to support their families."

"How's the situation?" Bruce took Liang En over and asked, "By the way, old Carlos, Mr. Liang is also a scholar of ancient Egyptian, and he helped me a lot recently, so don't put your usual Come up with the energy to discuss business."

"Liang——" After hearing Bruce's words, a middle-aged white man wearing a monocle and dressing himself like an old cowboy asked. "Is it the person who published a paper in the Journal of the British Archaeological Association a while ago?"

Liang En's surname is rare in the Western world. Bruce also pointed out that he studied ancient Egyptian, so an old man quickly asked as if he had thought of something. "

"Yes sir, I have already published two articles, and now I have just submitted the third manuscript." Liang En said, then took out his mobile phone and showed the old gentleman the "Journal of the British Archaeological Association" to himself reply.

"Your research is really important." After Liang En admitted his identity, the old man suddenly became excited. "I feel that your progress in this area has surpassed all research in the previous ten centuries-"

"Okay, Hans, you can talk about academic issues later." After learning that Liang En is not just a treasure hunter, but also a top scholar in some aspects.The attitude of the chain bar owner named Carlos is also much better.

"Mr. Liang, I like your complete still and three guns, so are you willing to transfer them to me together?"

"Of course I would. After all, I'm not that interested in these modern things, so naturally I hope to sell them at a good price." Liang En nodded and said, "So please bid, as long as they are suitable It's yours."

"If that's the case—" Seeing that Liang En handed over the pricing power to himself, Carlos fell into deep thought, because now Liang En is different from what he thought before, so the pricing has to be changed.

Before, he just thought of Liang En as an ordinary treasure hunter, so he naturally hoped to keep the price as low as possible.But the price is too low now is definitely not suitable to take out.

This change is determined by social status. As rich people, they naturally have a higher status than those treasure diggers who search everywhere for treasures, but it is another matter if the treasure digger is a well-known scholar.

"I think $88000 is an appropriate number." After thinking for more than ten seconds, Carlos quoted a price.Then he explained to everyone present.

"The distiller is in good condition, and I'm in that business again, so I'm willing to pay $22000 for it. As for the two pistols, although they've been refitted and in good condition, they're only available for $3500 because of the volume of these pistols. .”

"The most valuable thing in it is the M1928, because it is a rare legal automatic weapon and it is in very good condition. So after combining the prices of similar items, I am willing to pay $62500."

The gun control in the United States is becoming more and more strict. In the early days, people could even buy big killers like machine guns.But now they are all banned, the only exception is the old guns before the ban took effect.

But guns are different from ordinary things, they will wear out.So after a period of time, these firearms will naturally come from less and less.Therefore, the price also rises over time.

For example, this submachine gun is like this. If it goes to an auction, it is possible to sell it for [-] to [-].However, when there is no middleman to make the difference, the price in the early [-] dollars is also reasonable.

As for those brewing equipment, Liang En really didn't know the price, but in this situation, it was unlikely that the other party would deliberately lower the price.

"That's it." After thinking for a few seconds, Liang En made a decision.Although at this time, if you want to increase the price, you can also increase it.But it is completely unnecessary to raise one or two thousand dollars in this case.
I have to say that these bigwigs were happy to give the money. Ten minutes later, Liang En received a notification from the bank that the money had arrived, and then a bodyguard drove the car away.

"Happy cooperation." Carlos reached out his hand to shake Liang En's hand, and then invited him. "I think we can continue our drinking party together."
