America's Mountains Are King

Chapter 253
The sea view villa of Robin's family is very good. It is located on a hillside, facing the charming west coast;Although there are swimming pools, parking lots, etc., Qi Ping feels that the usable area is too small; compared to his mansion in the forest farm, it is really difficult for Qi Ping to look at these "small villas" now, and it is uncomfortable to live in.

However, the decoration of Robin's house is very good, with mahogany stairs and common high-quality mahogany floors; even the walls of the study are covered with half a layer of mahogany boards.There are no floor-to-ceiling windows, because this is a study room, not a place for people to doze off and bask in the sun; in the middle of the main wall, this is a common Western-style fireplace.

"It's much more stylish than your study. Take a look at his study. There are oil paintings on the wall, and they look very high-end. And I haven't seen this bookshelf in your study; you can look at it again." Looking at these decorations and knickknacks, no matter how you look at it, they are antique. This wooden sofa seems to be a bit exquisite."

Luo Yi is definitely the elder brother and the second brother. Qi Ping's study is very "modern" and not particular about it; in fact, his study is similar, except that Qi Ping is a little more exaggerated, and the walls are basically all kinds of guns. , Shengsheng turned the study into a weapon storage room.

"The furniture on his side is actually really good, and the appearance is well preserved, and if you look at the patina, it's not shiny; and if you look at the workmanship and materials, it's really good. I plan to upgrade Let’s go to my study, at least not too rich, let’s make some decorations.”

Qi Ping was embarrassed, his study was really not very good; it is not that Qi Ping has never seen a more elegant study, but compared to this one, it looks like a study with taste and style.My own study does not seem to have much connotation, and it is not particular at all.

"Are you going to copy the study here? That's too vulgar. I don't believe you plan to buy a bookshelf, and then buy some books and run over to decorate the facade. The most important thing is the books on his side, I heard It’s always out of print, ancient books, etc. All kinds of languages, English, Greek, Spanish.”

Luo Yi began to despise Qi Ping. If Qi Ping went to build a poor and particular study, then it must be a typical example of painting tigers and not anti-dogs; Qi Ping is destined to have little artistic accomplishment, so it is too exaggerated Out of shape.

"I don't like such Western-style furniture. I plan to buy a set of Chinese-style furniture. You can consider replacing tables and chairs with Chinese-style furniture. I heard that antique furniture from the Ming Dynasty is very popular in the United States, right? I'll make a little more A little other gadgets, I don't want to turn it into a lifeless old man's study, I'm still so young."

Qi Ping feels that he needs to improve his taste now. The boss chair and sleeve wooden desk in his study are indeed a little tacky.And look at how neat and connotative people's desks are. It's nothing to have a computer on your desk, but this computer is more for playing games!
People are more popular than people, but goods are still better than goods; a flush study room really needs a little more attention.Anyway, I am also a billionaire. At this time, I seem to have no connotation at all, and sometimes it is really embarrassing; in fact, Luo Yi is almost the same, and his study is actually only slightly more artistic than Qiping. Still very vulgar.

The two of them were chatting about the decoration of the study, and by the way chatting with the clients of this small auction; in fact, this is a small gathering of rich people.Going to auctions and the like may be able to win higher-end good things, but sometimes you may not be able to encounter such intimate good things.These are good things that rich people collect.

Robin came out and said a few words; it was nothing more than thanking everyone for their appreciation, and hoping that everyone could find good things they like.

After all, this is not a real auction, and most of the time it is because of the direct asking price; of course, Robin knows some details. Although he is a prodigal, it does not mean that he is an idiot.The really sought-after gadgets must be small auctions.Only in this way can he sell at a high price if there is a bidding, so that he can make a little more money and continue to squander it.

"Kar 98k Mauser rifle, the standard rifle equipped by the German army during the Second World War! The starting price is 3000 US dollars, and the price increases by [-] US dollars each time. Believe me, its maintenance is very good, even its rifle is not at all Any groping, you can continue to use it!"

Robin started the auction with enthusiasm, and he is still very satisfied with this auction; basically there are no failed auctions, and everyone likes these good things.As for the antique guns starting now, he knows that many people will be tempted; and the Mauser rifle is just an appetizer, because this gun type is relatively close, and the output is relatively large. Because this Mauser is well maintained.

In fact, Qi Ping has observed the gun a long time ago, and it is not bad; the appearance and maintenance are good, but Qi Ping has some ambitions.Of course he can make a circle, but it seems too greedy; the highlight is the good thing he plans to get next.

"I plan to take down the M1903 Springfield rifle. This is the old American standard rifle of World War I and World War II. It can be regarded as a variant gun based on the Mauser rifle. You must be familiar with the M1 Garand rifle, the old American standard rifle of World War II; This gun was used by the Americans during the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea, and it seems to have been used for a while in the Burmese War. In some cases, there are shadows of the Mafia, Call of Duty, and the like.”

Qi Ping licked his lips, he was in high spirits now; but Luo Yi felt that Qi Ping must have not told the truth.Springfield rifles and Garand rifles are both good, but it is absolutely impossible for Qi Ping to look happy when he sees Liexin; it has become common sense in the circle of friends that Qi Ping likes guns, and this guy hangs a So many guns.

"Actually, what I want most is a few Mosin-Nagant rifles over there, Russian guns. It seems to have come out around 1890, more than a century. Look, he has a great one over there , is the M1891 rifle; one of the types of this gun is for cavalry, the dragoon rifle!"

Qi Ping was really happy to see Lie Xin, he felt that his trip must be worthwhile, this time he must take these Mosin-Nagant rifles!Because this is even a relatively complete set of Mosin-Nagant rifles, a complete set of cavalry guns!
"The guns before 1908 were a little bit longer, and the ones after 1908 were a little shorter. His side is good, the two guns are two generations of guns. The dragoon rifle is a gun for heavy cavalry, and you see there is no A gun with a bayonet; the famous Cossack rifle, which is exactly the same in length and shape as the dragoon rifle, except that it is not equipped with a bayonet—because the tradition of the Cossack cavalry is to use a saber!"

Hearing Qi Ping's exuberant explanation there, Luo Yi was taken aback for a while; Qi Ping is not just doing nothing, this guy is studying his guns all day long, especially those antique guns!
Not too bad, no one made trouble for Qi Ping; the three guns were taken down by Qi Ping for less than ten thousand dollars.In fact, until today, these guns, Mosin-Nagant rifles can still be seen in the field of folk collections or hunting purposes.Moreover, Finland, the former Soviet Union and China, the holders of the highest personal sniper records, all use the Mosin Nagant series rifles.

Qi Ping is very frightening, although these guns are not necessarily so rare, but they are already very good, and it is already a happy thing to be able to collect them.In fact, Qi Ping really moved his mind, for example, if there is such a type of small auction in the future, he must participate, and maybe he can receive good things again.

In fact, collecting this thing, sometimes it’s not just enough to have money, but also need to look at the opportunity; sometimes good things have a price but no market, this is not a bad street thing, you can find it immediately with just a little money .So every time he collects a good thing, it is a good thing for Qi Ping. Although it is not necessary to open champagne to celebrate or something, it can ensure that he is in a good mood all day, and he will even stay in the study slowly. Researched.

Luo Yi, this boy actually has some gains. He doesn't like those desks and bookshelves, in fact, it is because the quotations from those people exceed his psychological price.But he has successfully collected a lot of good books. Although he doesn't necessarily understand the content of these books, he can decorate the appearance, for example, to make his study room look more connotative and stylish, so that he can have a little more books aroma.

Generally speaking, it is very good, because both of them have their own achievements; more importantly, because the two of them have slightly expanded their interpersonal circle, although it seems that they just changed their business cards and chatted a little. Two sentences, but it is certain that there are many friends and multiple paths, and there will be more invitations to small-scale auctions in the future.

For Qi Ping and Luo Yi, there must not be too many good things. In fact, what they prefer is to keep all the good things in their hands as much as possible.This matter is actually human nature. Everyone has their own greed, and this matter is understood by everyone; greed can also be a motivation sometimes.

Although they have some small gains of their own, the two actually have more gains; for example, the small auction this time made the two feel a lot, that is, sometimes the rich really need to decorate When you look at the facade, you need to make a good appearance.

For example, let your study look more dignified!
