Chapter 763: It Killed the President

"You like this knife?

I bought it in 1989 when I went on vacation in Houston, Texas. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

It cost $4700.

According to the owner, the knife is hundreds of years old and was once the saber of a king of China. ”

"Before I moved, the fortune teller told me that I could avoid losing my property by keeping a knife at home, so I put the knife in the safe, and business has been going a lot better lately," Donald said. ”

Han Xuan looked at him strangely.

There are also street fortune tellers in the United States, but they are different from those in China, most of those people call themselves horoscopes, psychics and other professions, and some rich people believe their words.

Grandfather Guo Muzhou is one of them, before making movies, starting a company, and making investments, he has to hire a fortune teller from Xiangjiang.

When he was a child, his grandfather also took the other party to the Snow Mountain Ranch to help Han Xuan tell his fortune, and the fortune teller praised him, and finally took tens of thousands of dollars in red envelopes and walked away happily.

In fact, Han Xuan doesn't believe in fortune-telling at all, this line is the earliest expert in micro-expression psychology, through observing words and feelings, saying that customers have "told" them through expressions and words.

Even if he is an existence that should not be, he prefers to think of his rebirth and time and space travel.

Although there are many places that are unreasonable, the wormhole that can travel through time is the only scientific explanation that he can agree with......

In the mid-nineties, China's economy developed slightly, but in the entire world economy, it was still an unappreciated existence, and even Chinese antiques were not valuable.

Westerners only like fine porcelain, and those rare porcelains can be sold at a price comparable to the works of Western oil painting masters.

Han Xuan also knew that some criminals were now deliberately speculating on Huaxia porcelain and making inflated prices to launder money.

The status of this knife is probably like the knife used by kings in the West, it is very common and common, unless it is inlaid with extraordinarily valuable gemstones, it can be sold for 100,000 US dollars, which is considered a sky-high price.

The scabbard of the Qianlong Imperial Tianzi No. 17 waist knife is made of golden peach skin, and if the handle is not gilded, no one will buy it for $4,700.

Han Xuan inserted the knife back into the scabbard, held a nearly ninety centimeter golden peach skin sheath waist knife, shook it at Donald, and said, "I want it, next time I will exchange the oil painting of Doloris with you."

You know, Mr. Buffett gave her a hundred shares, Berkshire Hathaway stock, in exchange for three oil paintings of my friend, and you made a lot of money. ”

Donald couldn't help but laugh.

People who know Han Xuan know his beautiful girl friend, and Butterfield has also talked about it in private as a joke.

"Take it, I'll put the fruit knife in the kitchen here later, anyway, the goddess didn't say what knife to use.

She remembered to give me her paintings, and Mr. Buffett Sr. bought three pictures with 100 shares, so I really made a lot of money.

But why do I think this knife is so much more than $4,700?

I don't believe you're looking for ordinary things, the paintings of Miller and Gauguin, and the Philadelphia Dellinger pistol that killed President Lincoln, are countless times more precious than it.

The newspaper said that you are a child who is favored by God and often buys treasures.

Tell me the truth you want it to, and I swear I'll never ask you for it back. ”

“…… If you want me to say that it's okay, sell me this pistol on condition, you still have such a good thing in your collection. ”

Han Xuan leaned over to the pocket pistol, stared at it and smiled evilly: "It's really exactly the same as the gun in the history books." ”

Donald was so aggrieved that he wanted to slap his mouth, who made this mouth too cheap.

Among all the collections, this is his favorite one, and he wants to dispel Han Xuan's thoughts, saying:

"On April 14, 1865, just a few days after the Civil War between the North and the South ended.

President Lincoln and his wife went to see a show at Ford's Theatre in Washington, D.C.

During this period, John Wilkes Booth, a well-known stage artist, suddenly shot President Lincoln, resulting in the death of President Lincoln on the spot, and the gun he used was this one.

After the investigation, the gun was left in the underground exhibition hall of Ford's Theatre for more than 100 years, and I was lucky enough to get it.

Han, you can want anything else, but this one doesn't work.

It...... I bought it from the black market and can't be seen by others.

Last fall, the gun was stolen, and now the police department is still looking for it, I can't hurt you. ”

"How can this be harmful to me?

You're already an adult, and if you get caught, you'll go to court, so let me bear the consequences!"

Han Xuanyi solemnly resigned, hurriedly covered the box containing the pistol, held it in his arms, still holding a waist knife in his hand, and turned his head away from Donald's stunned eyes.

When I walked out, I dropped the sentence: "I'm so hungry, let's have lunch first......"

"Do you know what this is?

It's a bandit!

Donald rubbed his hair, looking rather distressed, a tuft of hair curling across his head.

He had a hair transplant in the 80s because of hair loss, which was limited by the hair transplant technology at that time, and it didn't look natural.

"The robbers won't give you money, and I will.

A million dollars, that's definitely more than when you bought it. ”

Han Xuan walked out of the safe room, turned around and said to him.

Donald closed the door after coming out and sighed helplessly: "It's not about money, but the historical significance is very important."

President Lincoln is someone I admire, and without him fighting the Civil War and freeing black slaves, there would be no America today. ”

"He liberated blacks.

You're not black, so what the hell are you talking about.

The money is given to you, and it is collected. ”

Han Xuan also knew the importance of this gun, and there were countless collectors who wanted to buy it, but Ford's Theatre didn't sell it, and the opportunity to own it was really rare.

He quickly wrote a check, handed it to Donald, and said, "Several presidents of the United States have been shot.

You go and find the one who killed Kennedy, or the one who assassinated Martin Luther King, Jr. ”

“…… I've seen these two short-lived ghosts with my own eyes.

Why are you hiding the guns that killed them, do you want to sleep too comfortably at night, and you have to have nightmares?"

Donald rolled his eyes, reached out and took the check, sold the gun to Han Xuan by default, and asked him: "Now you can say it, why do you want this knife?"

"I'm Chinese, and Qianlong is a famous king.

Chinese people have loved collecting since ancient times, so I think this rare thing will appreciate in value in the future. ”

Han Xuan was thinking in his heart at the moment that he had only bought antiques in Huaxia before, but in fact, there were many of them abroad, and the price was not expensive.

Why did you forget that you have to buy antiques abroad, and with the appreciation potential of those things, it is more profitable than buying Microsoft shares now.

Silently wrote down this matter, holding two things, and did not intend to let go until it was handed over to Gabriel for safekeeping...... (To be continued.) )
