Chapter 1324: A Sense of Loss
When he arrived in Los Angeles, it was morning, and Gao Yang did not go to the law firm to go through the inheritance formalities first, but went to Mr. Federer's house first.
The doorbell rang, and the door was opened by a middle-aged man Gao Yang who he didn't know.
Seeing Gao Yang, the middle-aged man who opened the door said softly, "Who are you looking for?" ”
Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "I have come to visit Mrs. Federer, I am a friend of Mr. Federer. ”
Gao Yang was dressed very seriously, and the expression on his face was also very solemn, and the Zhongnan man nodded and said to Gao Yang: "My name is Max. Federer, you must be Mr. Gao, right? Heir to my father's estate. ”
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." ”
Inviting Gao Yang 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 take a look first, and then go to Mr. Federer's grave to have a look, as for the matter of receiving the inheritance, this is not in a hurry." ”
Max nodded, "Please wait. ”
Max got up and left, and after a while, Mrs. Federer walked out slowly, and when she saw Gao Yang, she opened her arms slightly, and her face was 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, and after a moment of gentle hugning at the door, she gently wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes and said softly, "He left peacefully. ”
Max helped his mother to sit down on the couch. After stretching out his hand to Gao Yang and motioning for him to sit down. Then he sat down to the side. Then he said straight to the point: "Mr. Gao, when do you plan to receive the inheritance?" It's my father's collection. ”
Gao Yang felt a little embarrassed to talk about this topic, because Federer did not leave the inheritance to his children but gave it to him, and in front of Federer's son, he could not speak of the collection with confidence, which in the eyes of Gao Yang, who had a very traditional concept, should have belonged to Max.
You must know that Federer's collection is not cheap, and it is not a memento of more monumental significance than monetary significance. It's a lot of money, hundreds of antique guns, at least worth hundreds of thousands of dollars, and the total value of more than a million dollars should not be a problem, for an ordinary American family, this is a huge fortune.
Gao Yang coughed unnaturally, and said, "I'm going to take a look first, and then I'm going to talk to the lawyer about the inheritance, and I'll ask for your opinion before meeting with the lawyer to get Mr. Federer's collection." ”
Gao Yang is not short of money, he is short of big money. But a hundred thousand is not a big number for him now, so he would have preferred to buy those guns after Mr. Federer's death. And not as Federer's inheritance inherited by him.
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 all the guns, oh, there is a list, it has legal effect after the lawyer's witness, where the lawyer is, you can check the list to receive." ”
After saying that, Max shrugged his shoulders and said in a deep voice: "Those guns already belong to you, and it stands to reason that I have no right to ask you 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? ”
Gao Yang shook his head and said, "No, I won't sell a single one, besides, I want to ask, Mr. Federer was inspecting the venue where the exhibition was held before he died, right?" ”
Max nodded, "Yes, his wish was to hold an exhibition to showcase his life's collection, but unfortunately, he couldn't fulfill his wish." ”
Gao Yang exhaled lightly and said in a deep voice: "Then, after accepting the inheritance, I will fulfill his wish for Mr. Federer, and this exhibition will definitely be held, and in addition, I intend to set up a private museum, and I will order Mr. Federer's name to exhibit his collection." ”
Max nodded, and said to Gao Yang: "Thank you, my father has found a suitable heir for his collection, I don't have any problems, but Mr. Gao, I have something I want to remind you." ”
Max looked emotional, stretched out his hand to Gao Yang, and said: "My father loves his collection, and I also want to help him realize his wishes, but holding an exhibition is a matter that consumes financial resources and energy, and opening a private museum is even more complicated, this is not a job that can be let go of after investing a sum of money, this is a work that requires long-term investment, so I don't recommend that you really open a museum." ”
After saying that, Max sighed and said, "Actually, keeping these guns is a very laborious job, if I inherit those guns, I will definitely sell most of them, and then leave a small part as a souvenir, because I really can't take care of those collections like my father, so it is indeed the right choice for my father to leave his collection to you." ”
Gao Yang didn't speak, but he silently analyzed the feasibility of opening a private museum in his heart, Max was right, there are actually too few lovers of Mauser pistols, and it is a trivial matter to open a museum for these pistols, and the effort is still too great, and in his spare time, the possibility is not very large.
If you open a museum but always close the door, then what is the point of opening the museum, and the problem of anti-theft must also be considered, and it can not be thrown aside, so this kind of small specialized museum is best or a family-style museum is the most suitable, but unfortunately, Gao Yang can not go back to his home a few times a year, and hire someone to be responsible for the operation of the museum, it seems to be too extravagant.
After thinking about it, Gao Yang nodded and said: "That's right, for me, the time is not yet ripe to open a museum, I want to do this now, entrust all of Mr. Federer's collection to a company that specializes in exhibitions, and then hold a national tour exhibition for a year, and when the exhibition is over, I will collect it in my storeroom, and when the time is right in the future, I may open a private museum and display these collections in it." ”
Mrs. Federer sighed, then whispered to Gao Yang, "This is really the best ending, Gao, thank you, Norbert will thank you in heaven, you have fulfilled his last wish." ”
Max also stretched out his hand to Gao Yang and said in a deep voice: "Thank you, Mr. Gao, thank you for being willing to do all this." ”
Max is grateful to Gao Yang for entrusting a professional company to hold a free exhibition in major cities across the United States, even if the exhibits are small and do not take up much space, and do not need much space to do it, but at least it will cost hundreds of thousands of dollars, which is still the minimum cost, if you put the time to a year, the cost is easily millions.
Federer has four children, but Gao Yang only wants to visit Mrs. Federer this time, he didn't expect to meet Federer's children, meeting Federer's son was an accident, but he was happy to be able to complete the whole process of accepting the inheritance after reaching an agreement with Federer's children.
In fact, Gao Yang was also worried that he would need to fight a lawsuit before he could get the inheritance, which is quite common, because Federer left behind not only trouble, but also a large fortune, but fortunately, Federer's wife and children respected his will and did not raise any objections.
After chatting for a while, Gao Yang felt that Max was also a good person, and left contact information with Max, and after comforting Mrs. Federer again, Gao Yang let Max lead him to Federer's grave.
Led Gao Yang to the place, the two put the flowers in front of the tombstone, Max held the tombstone in front of his father's grave and whispered for a long time, then stood up, nodded to Gao Yang, and then left alone, leaving Gao Yang and Federer alone to be 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 Gao Yang's particularly good friend, but he can be regarded as his confidant, and in the short time with Federer, the two had a very pleasant relationship, so Gao Yang was sad, very sad.
Federer is already very old, death, not a very unexpected ending, in Gao Yang's life, the death of another old man in addition to making him sad but also angry, that old man is Fedor, and Federer's death, but Gao Yang felt sad and had 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 legacy, treat the collection we all like kindly, and besides, I will fulfill your wish, and your collection will definitely be displayed in front of the world." ”
After finishing speaking, Gao Yang let out a long sigh, and then said with a loss: "Mr. Federer, I know that birth, old age, sickness and death are inevitable for human beings, but I am still sad that you have passed away, because there is one less person in this world who can share happiness with me, Mr. Federer, I wish you all the best in heaven." ”
After speaking, Gao Yang bowed three times in front of Federer's tombstone according to Chinese tradition, then turned around and left.
After walking a few steps, Gao Yang still felt panicked in his heart, so he stopped, took a few breaths, took out his mobile phone and dialed it out.
After waiting for the phone to be connected, Gao Yang said in a deep voice: "Jin Fang, I'm in Los Angeles, come over in the afternoon if you have nothing to do, take a private jet, I'll tell Morgan and let him arrange a pilot to fly, well, you can wait for Yelena to come over after class, and she can come together if she doesn't have classes tomorrow weekend." ”
Li Jinfang said in a deep voice: "Understood, what's wrong?" ”
Gao Yang sighed: "Mr. Federer has passed away, and I am very uncomfortable now, I feel very bad, very bad, so I decided to go to the gym. (To be continued......)
