Chapter 1309 A different kind of commission(2/2)
"No wonder..." Wei Ran muttered subconsciously, "It turns out that these guns were forged by Mr. Henry himself."
"What did you say?" Lawyer Carlos looked up at Wei Ran.
"I said these guns were all forged by Mr. Henry himself."
Wei Ran also picked up a DeLeer carbine as he spoke, "The production of this silenced weapon is very small, and each one is very rare and very expensive. I have always been surprised that when I first met Mr. Henry, he
How could you decide so casually to give me such an expensive weapon as a gift?"
"Forgery? Does he still lack this little money?" Lawyer Carlos couldn't help but muttered.
"You do not understand"
As he spoke, Wei Ran put down the perfectly reproduced weapon in his hand and continued to visit while explaining, "Mr. Henry, who likes to lie, is a military fan. Well... military fan who likes to lie may be more accurate.
For him, rather than profiting from counterfeiting, he may be more addicted to the fun of the fact that others cannot tell that this is his replica carbine."
"Is this equivalent to recognition of his craftsmanship?" Carlos also put down the carbine and asked, "Have you accepted that weapon?"
"That's pretty much it, but I didn't confiscate it at the time. Private possession of silenced weapons is not allowed in Russia."
After Wei Ran finished speaking, he turned around and pointed at the surrounding shelves to change the topic, "Mrs. Kate and Ms. Alice, are you saying that these weapons are all mine?"
"If you can investigate the truth, these things can be yours." After adding the core conditions, lawyer Carlos asked, "How about it? Are you interested?"
"Of course, of course I'm interested."
Wei Ran replied without thinking. Just looking at it, the individual weapons from various countries in World War II are in very good condition. They can be used for shooting with bullets loaded, and they can be used as decoration without bullets.
That kind of.
These antique weapons alone, even if sold to Mr. Alexander in Volgograd, can easily be exchanged for more than ten to two to three hundred thousand dollars, not to mention those military equipment such as antique radio stations, and those few that look like
Not cheap high-precision machining equipment, and even the two 20mm cannons, these are not bargains.
To put it bluntly, this is just a picker, a picker who picks up Mrs. Kate and Alice who don't understand these things and look down on these scrap metals.
But the problem is that it's obviously not that easy to transport these things back to Russia, especially if he doesn't want to trouble the teachers at the Hongqi Forest Farm for such a trivial matter.
"Since you are interested, let's sign the employment agreement first."
Lawyer Carlos said as he walked out, "Then you can start your work as soon as possible, and I can also go back to the United States to deal with other things."
"It's not urgent," Wei Ran said as he followed the other person out, "Before that, I need to make a call first."
"I'll wait for you in the reception room." Lawyer Carlos said casually.
After walking out of the underground garage a little faster, Wei Ran took out his cell phone and after some thought, he called Mr. Alexander in Volgograd.
"Victor, is there any good news?" As soon as the call was connected, Alexander on the other end asked with a smile.
"I came to Mr. Alexander for help," Wei Ran responded with the same smile.
"Tell me, what do you need me to do for you?" Alexander on the other end of the phone asked particularly cheerfully.
"I got a batch of antique World War II weapons in the UK. They are basically individual equipment. The biggest one is just a Flak38 anti-aircraft gun."
After a pause, Weiran continued, "It's just that the quantity is quite large. Mr. Alexander, is there any way you can legally get these weapons back to Russia?"
"this is very simple"
Alexander said without thinking, "My museum can help you apply for it, what? Do you also want to build a museum?"
"I don't have that much energy. These things are actually my commissions. I plan to use those antique weapons to support Aurora's business, such as opening a shooting range or something."
What Wei Ran just said was the truth. Although he is a historian, he would not build a military museum even if he only considers his own life.
Of course, he himself is not without benefits. Among other things, with a shooting range, he can openly purchase various military surplus ammunition in the future.
"There are still people using this kind of thing to pay commissions, and you actually agreed?"
Alexander muttered something rather strange, and then said happily that he would help get those things back, and all Wei Yan needed to do was to pack those weapons into the container.
After solving the biggest problem, Wei Ran caught up with lawyer Carlos and followed him into the living room with a great view.
After a while, Mrs. Kate had also come downstairs and was drinking tea and chatting with her daughter Alice, Martha and Lucinda.
"It seems that Mr. Carlos has already taken you to see those things," Mrs. Kate said gently after her mood regained her composure.
“It is true”
Wei Ran nodded, "Mrs. Kate, I have no reason to refuse those military antiques, so I am willing to take this job."
"In that case, I'll leave it to you."
Mrs. Kate said gently, "In another house, there are also many things left by Henry. Let Alice take you to see them later. If you like them, you can take them with you."
After speaking, she switched to English and gave Alice some instructions, and then said, "Mr. Carlos, I leave the legal work to you."
"This is what I should do," Lawyer Carlos agreed gently.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! Nodding slightly, the old lady continued with a smile in English, "I haven't chatted with young people for a long time, so if you are interested in
If you are satisfied here, just stay here. I know some very delicious French dishes and can cook them for everyone to try for dinner."
"Then we won't be polite"
Wei Ran waited for Marta to help translate and agreed happily, and then said, "Ms. Alice, if it is convenient, I will start the investigation early tomorrow morning, right?"
"No problem." Alice nodded happily after waiting for Marta to translate it into English. "I took half a month's leave, and I will stay with you during this period."
Now that the deal was concluded, everyone stopped delaying. Marta and Luxinda accompanied Mrs. Kate to the large and exaggerated kitchen to prepare dinner.
Lawyers Wei Ran and Carlos, after Alice drove out all the classic cars in the garage, sealed all the entrances and exits of the underground garage with homemade seals written with Chinese characters.
This was not over yet. Under the leadership of Alice, the two of them rushed to the villa where Mr. Henry hosted Wei Ran and others. They also sealed the radio stations and other items collected here and took photos for documentation.
.
By the way, Weiran also temporarily brought back the vacuum-preserved Owen-style skydiving suit and the P38 pistol that Henry had displayed to Mrs. Kate's house.
That night, the French food cooked by Mrs. Kate herself was equally popular as the Slavic food cooked by Marta.
During the chat among these women of different ages at the table, Wei Ran also learned that Mrs. Kate's mother had been a telegraph operator, and even Kate herself had worked in the telegraph office for a very long time.
As for Sean, his parents did inherit all the work on the farm, and Sean's father was indeed a milkman.
No matter how much moisture there was in Henry's words at the beginning, when Wei Ran opened the curtains in the guest room early the next morning, he found that it was drizzling outside, and even the weather was gray with an annoying coldness.
.
"It's a good weather to sleep in, what a pity..." Wei Ran muttered regretfully and reluctantly got up.
Skipping breakfast, Wei Ran called Lu Xinda, who had already woken up due to jet lag, and took Alice's car to the farm where she had been.
In just a few short months, many crops have been planted on this farm. Under the drizzle of water, the crisp green buds are particularly beautiful.
"Tell Ms. Alice that she doesn't have to stay with me during my investigation."
Wei Ran said, already carrying the Owen-style skydiving suit and the P38 pistol in the holster and getting out of the car, "You too, if you feel bored, you can go back with Alice. I'll be there if you need anything."
I called you."
"Sister Aurora asked us to keep an eye on you to prevent you from running around secretly."
After Lu Xinda finished speaking, she translated Wei Ran's words to Alice, then opened her umbrella, carried Wei Ran's briefcase, and ran into the barn with a bang, while she kept saying
, "Boss, boss, Alice just said that she will deliver lunch to us at noon."
"Aren't you going to go back with us?" Wei Ran put the things he was carrying on the hood of a farm tractor as he spoke.
"I won't go back."
Lu Xinda put down Wei Ran's briefcase and said with a grimace, "I won't have the chance to go shopping after I go back. I will definitely be forced to learn Russian by Sister Marta."
"In that case, you can search in the barn and the house outside to see if there is anything wrong."
"thank you boss!"
Lu Xinda immediately agreed happily, and then she didn't go far, just touching here and there in the barn.
Seeing this, Wei Ran couldn't help but smile. Speaking of which, this little girl was only seventeen or eighteen years old, and now was the time to be playful.
In other words, if this little girl is allowed to work as Suisui's follower, she will definitely be happy. But if she is forced to learn something, especially the most boring language, it will really kill her.
He died at the age of 17.
After the little girl ran away, Wei Ran looked around and made sure there was no surveillance equipment in the barn. Then he took out the wire cutters under the cover of his briefcase and easily opened the two locked doors.
Iron cabinet.
"Who has wire cutters in their briefcase..."
While Wei Ran muttered secretly, he used the cover of his briefcase to put the wire cutters back into the metal book. Then he climbed up the buoy and called Lu Xinda back, asking her to help hand over the items in the cabinet one by one.
I personally brought them inside the rescue buoy and placed them in various cabinets.
This was not over yet. Then, with the help of the little girl, he temporarily moved out the small refrigerator, TV and game console, and other things that did not belong in the buoy at all.
After sending away the little girl running errands again, Wei Ran walked into the buoy carrying the flight suit and the German pistol, and closed the iron door at the top.
"Click"
The light inside was turned on with a sound. Wei Ran stepped down the ladder step by step and put the things in his hands on one bed. He sat on the other bed, took a few deep breaths, and reached out his hand.
