Happy Tycoon

This flea market is no different from the flea markets that Yang Jing has seen before. They are mainly second-hand goods, but occasionally you can see one or two stalls selling antique art, but most of them are antiques of low value. artwork.

In this relatively pure flea market, it is not so easy to find high-value antique works of art.

But here, you can see a lot of artworks with local characteristics.

For example, Yang Jing saw a lot of cowboy equipment at a booth, such as saddles, water reins, bridles, riding boots, spurs, stirrups and other horse gear; as well as cowboy clothes, cowboy hats, lasso, riding whips and other western cowboys. common tools; of course, the must-have weapons of those horse boys in western movies are also indispensable.

For example, the Schofield revolver, this kind of pistol is hinged, and the bullet case is automatically ejected, which is the best choice for fast gunners. In almost every western movie, the protagonist's weapon is this revolver.

Of course, the must-have weapon for sheriffs in western movies is the Colt Army single-action revolver.

This kind of fixed magazine is divided into cavalry type and artillery type. This gun is even better, it's featured in 1000% of every western movie, it's the Sheriff's favorite, and it's Billy the Kid's bedside weapon! It's a single-action gun, but Billy the Kid can use it against a bunch of double-action sheriffs!

The cavalry type is used for long-distance attacks on horseback, and the artillery type is used for sneak attacks and assassinations. The difference between the cavalry type and the artillery type is that the cavalry type is long and the artillery type is short.

Yang Jing likes this kind of gun very much, but although he has a green card, he has not applied for a gun license, so even if he plans to collect this kind of gun, he cannot buy it.

Chris on the side smiled and said in a low voice: Boss, the harness here is good, and the weapons can only be said to be enough. If you want better cowboy weapons, if you have the opportunity to go to my hometown, I will give you Introduce a legendary cowboy. There are so many good things there, even when Hollywood is making western movies, many crews will go to him to rent some equipment.

Yang Jing asked in surprise: Really?

The big man next to him, Clark McCann, said with a smile: Boss, you don't have to doubt this, I can assure you. Chris's hometown is in Pecos, West Texas. There is indeed a legendary cowboy in his hometown, not only Cowboys in Texas adore him, and almost all the cowboys in the West adore him, he is the famous old Billy! Christopher Billy, a legendary and great cowboy.”

Yang Jing shook his head in a daze. Obviously, he didn't know this cowboy.

However, Clark spoke a little louder just now, and the owner of the booth heard him. The owner was also very surprised and asked, Young man, do you know Old Billy?

Chris nodded arrogantly and said: Uncle Billy's ranch is next to my ranch, and our two families have a very good relationship. The first time I rode a horse when I was a child was in Uncle Billy's ranch.

Wow, then you are so happy. My God, you actually live next door to my idol. The stall owner looked yearning. He is in his sixties and looks like a groupie.

Hearing what the stall owners said, Yang Jing smiled and said to Chris: When the things here are over, I think we should go to your hometown as a guest. Guys, what do you think?

The remaining three bodyguards waved their fists excitedly.

At this time, Fatty and Lin Dan, who had had enough of fighting, walked over shoulder to shoulder. Seeing how excited the four bodyguards were, Lin Dan whistled and asked, Wow, did the two of us miss something good? ?”

Chris smiled and said: James, the boss said, after the things here are over, go to my hometown as a guest, and put Mr. Christopher Billy by the way.

Christopher Billy? Lin Dan was stunned for a moment, and then he asked excitedly: It's the one who won the National Rodeo Finals seven times in a row. He single-handedly killed seven Mexican gray wolves and saved six. Traveler, and then two horses and one man, one-on-one, against the Mexican drug lord, Christopher Billy, who is honored by all the cowboys in the west as Old Billy?

Chris snapped his fingers happily and said, That's right, that's old Billy!

Lin Dan screamed excitedly: Wow! Cool!

It can be seen that Lin Dan also seems to know this old Billy very well.

The stall owner looked at these people and said with a smile: So, cowboys, do you need to buy something from Old John? I admit that the things here are not as good as Old Billy's, but these horses I built it piece by piece with my own hands, and I'm pretty well known in Beaumont. I'll give you a discount if you want it, guys.

Yang Jing thought for a while, and said with a smile, Mr. John, give me six sets of full denim equipment. It's a pity that I haven't obtained a gun license yet, so I can't buy your guns.

Old John spread his hands regretfully, and then happily said: Six sets? No problem, Old John's harness will never let you down.

The fat man on the side quit, pulled Yang Jing and asked, I said Jing Gege, we are seven people, why did you only buy six sets of harness?

Before Yang Jing could speak, Lin Dan on the side said, Cut, I don't understand this? With your weight, there is probably no rancher willing to let you spoil his horse.

I@#￥% two people fight again

Yang Jing didn't care about the funny comparison between the two of them, and said to Chris and the four of them: I won't buy these things for you four, I will take these things back as gifts. But you can choose a few here Revolvers, two for each of you, are my little presents to you.

Chris and the others thanked each other with a smile, and began to pick out those revolvers. When Lin Dan and Fatty heard this, they immediately stopped bickering and looked at Yang Jing with mournful eyes. The meaning was obvious, you are the eldest brother, why didn't you buy a set for your brother?

Yang Jing waved his hands and said: You two don't look like this anymore. Fatty has money, Lin Dan, you are not short of money, you two won't buy it yourself? I bought these things as gifts for others, if you two like it Just buy it yourself, don't be like a Grandet all day long.

As soon as they heard that they had to pay for it themselves, the two of them immediately stopped talking, and walked towards other places with shoulders shoulders and backs.

Six complete sets of harness cost twenty-two hundred dollars each, and Old John discounted it to eighteen hundred dollars each.

If this price is placed in China, it is really not cheap, but compared with those domestic harnesses made of artificial leather, this kind of harness made of pure cowhide and handmade is really not expensive. Old John's craftsmanship is very good. Horse gear is a work of art.

The total cost of the six harnesses was more than ten thousand dollars. Chris and the others each picked two revolvers. These eight guns were expensive. Even after the discount, the average price of each gun was as high as three thousand five hundred dollars. .

You must know that in a gun store, a brand new Beretta M92 is only five or six hundred dollars.

However, considering that these revolvers are decades old and considered antiques, the price is still fair.

Counting the harness, it was a total of 39,000 US dollars. Yang Jing paid the money happily, and continued to walk into the market with four bodyguards amidst Old John's thanks.

The six sets of harnesses, Old John will send them directly to the place where Yang Jing and the others live. It is obviously not a good idea to go to the market with six sets of harnesses here.

Most of the market is second-hand goods, such as second-hand furniture, second-hand electrical appliances, second-hand tools and even second-hand vehicles, which can be seen in this flea market.

Americans are well-known for their love of second-hand goods. They don't treat second-hand goods as garbage at all, but are very good at using second-hand goods. In Huaxia, this is far behind. Second-hand home appliances and second-hand furniture that Chinese people don't use will eventually be taken to waste collection stations, but in the United States, the utilization rate of second-hand goods is still very high.

Fatty and Lin Dan didn't know where they were going, and Yang Jing didn't bother to care about them. He just wandered around the market with four bodyguards, and bought things he liked when he saw them. It didn't take long for the five people to hang a lot of odds and ends. Cowboy hats, buckskin gloves, animal teeth and bone accessories, if it weren't for Chris and the four of them wearing suits, they would have transformed into a typical western cowboy at this moment.

Of course, this flea market also sells old books and periodicals. Yang Jing squatted down in front of a booth that sold used books and periodicals. As a result, his eyes glanced at a corner of the booth inadvertently, and he was immediately attracted.

Bring me that sheepskin map, please.

The boss brought over the old sheepskin map, and Yang Jing's heart skipped a beat.

There is also an incomplete sheepskin map lying in the storage space, which Yang Jing received from a stall owner when he was visiting the Wanfer flea market in Paris. After the identification of the Holy Ring, the incomplete map It turned out to be a pirate nautical chart, and it was hand-painted by a pirate named Boardman in the sixteenth century.

And the incomplete sheepskin map in front of Yang Jing looks like another incomplete island nautical chart, because the bottom of the nautical chart he once received, which is close to the Bermuda Islands, the map shows A kind of torn ripple, and on the top, almost half of Greenland was also torn apart.

And the top of the nautical chart in front of me seems to be able to connect with the bottom of another nautical chart.

No matter how he looked at it, Yang Jing felt that these two incomplete nautical charts could be connected together, and the intuition from his heart was also very strong, so he immediately asked, How much does this nautical chart sell for?
