195: Chapter One Hundred Ninety-Three: Red Wanted Notice
Gao Yang opened a specialized gun safe that contained three guns and a telescope, and there was also a piece of paper—a thin sheet that was actually a collectible certification.
There were only a few lines on the certificate, yet they verified that one of the M1911 pistols was among the original prototypes personally refined by John Moses Browning, with not a single part altered.
Most importantly, the pistol could still fire.
Although the recoil spring and the spring in the original magazine had lost their tension, at least it could still shoot bullets, and for an antique gun, that was a crucial detail.
Gao Yang held the two items in his hands and examined them carefully for a long ti before he sighed and said, “This gun is ten thousand tis more precious to
than any of Alessandro’s works.
Sorry Morgan, I don’t an to belittle your collection, but I truly believe mine is much better than yours.
Well, there is an old saying in Huaxia, ‘To each their own.’ I think this saying wonderfully explains our concept of valuing our respective collections.”
Morgan shrugged his shoulders and said, “That’s indeed the case.
Now, put down what you’re holding.
You’ll have plenty of ti to appreciate them later.
For now, let’s go to the living room to handle so paperwork.”
Back in the living room, he sat down on the sofa in front of the fireplace with a glass of wine in his hand, looking at the burning logs and then at the deer head mounts and bear skins on the walls around him, Gao Yang suddenly began to worry if he would only want to spend the rest of his days on this farm that now belonged to him.
Cui Bo also said sentintally, “Brother Yang, it looks like you have already achieved our dream.
Living in the mountains, chopping wood and fishing when there’s nothing else to do, and even hunting…
Life couldn’t be more beautiful, it’s like living a dream.”
Gao Yang laughed and said, “What do you an my dream has been achieved?
This place is huge, everyone co over.
If you like a spot, just build a house there.
You’re not worried I’m going to kick you out, are you?”
Glolov also spoke with emotion, “I want to retire too, to settle down here and live a leisurely life.
But it has to be on my own farm.”
Cui Bo nodded repeatedly and said, “The Old Russian is right.
Although it’s great living and eating at your expense, having one’s own ho feels even more comfortable.”
Morgan just smiled and said, “It’s not very expensive.
Gao Yang’s farm including the land and houses only cost one million six hundred thousand US Dollars.
The economy is not doing well now, and there are few people willing to buy a large piece of land.
If it were a few years ago, this farm would have needed more than three million US Dollars to buy.”
Cui Bo was startled and exclaid, “That expensive?”
Morgan shook his head and said, “If you live in a big city, you would find the land prices here astonishingly low.
Don’t forget that the whole state of Idaho has an area of over two hundred thousand square kiloters and yet has a population of only a little over one million people.
This place is a byword for ‘sparsely populated.’
After saying this, Morgan stood up, took a stack of docunts from his briefcase, and after sitting back down, he handed the docunts to Gao Yang, saying, “This marks the boundaries of your farm, although I think it should be called a ranch.
But since the docunts say ‘farm,’ that’s what we’ll call it.
Let
give you a brief introduction.
You have six hundred acres of grassland, as well as sixteen buildings including living quarters, animal sheds, barns, and also a mountain villa.
I should point out that if it were only these, the price wouldn’t be so high.
Besides the grassland, you also have four thousand acres of mountain forest land, aning basically the whole mountain behind this farm is your private territory.
You have every right except for the mining rights, which ans you can ban anyone from entering your territory.
Of course, you can also choose to open it up, but either way, Gao, you’ve got a very big backyard.”
Gao Yang listened in astonishnt and said, “This is too big, completely unnecessary.
I just like to go camping in the mountains, but I don’t need to buy a whole mountain.”
Morgan laughed heartily and said, “I believe that apart from bills and tumors, bigger is always better.
By the way, the grassland here has a very thick and fertile soil layer, and irrigation is convenient, so you can either cultivate it or use it as pasturing land, as you wish.
Also, you have the right to log in the mountain forests, but you’ll need to apply for comrcial logging and pay a hefty fee for it.”
After listening to Morgan, Gao Yang said with emotion, “I thought it was quite expensive before I knew how big it was, but after hearing you explain, I suddenly feel it’s so cheap.
This price, in the Huaxia capital, is just enough for a house, right?
Hey, Rabbit, can this price get you a three-bedroom house inside the Second Ring Road?”
Cui Bo shook his head and said, “I never even dared to think about buying a house in the capital, why are you asking
this?
What I care about now is whether to invest my savings in land near you or sothing.”
Morgan snapped his fingers with a laugh and said, “Buying a piece of land here is a good choice.
In fact, I’ve already bought the farm next to Gao’s.
The grassland is about the sa size but it doesn’t have mountains, so it’s much cheaper, only cost
fifty-five US Dollars.”
Cui Bo perked up at once and said, “What?
Is that for real?
Morgan, could you help
buy a piece of land too?”
Morgan shrugged his shoulders and said, “I’m afraid not.
It’s not that I’m unwilling to help; it’s that Gao’s ranch was previously owned by the Bureau of Land Managent, and as they were auctioning off these two parcels of land, I was able to buy them all.
However, there are only six plots of land in this valley.
The other four are privately owned; one has been developed into a farm, and the other three are all working ranches, so I doubt they’d want to sell unless you make them an offer they can’t refuse.
But you won’t be able to buy any mountainous land since nearly all the mountains behind us are now Gao’s.
The good news is the other four plots are relatively small, each around three hundred acres, so it won’t cost too much to buy them.”
Cui Bo swung his fist vigorously and said, “I must buy it, I have to buy it.
Jinfang, Old Russian, and Frey, do you guys want to buy in?
How cool would it be for us to live together in this valley?”
Glolov, Frey, and Li Jinfang all nodded almost simultaneously and said in unison, “Buy, we have to buy it regardless of the price.”
Gao Yang frowned and said, “Co on, guys, it’s not that hard for us to live together.
This place is huge; isn’t it enough to build a few more houses on?
Why spend the money and effort to buy more land?”
Cui Bo kept shaking his head and said, “It’s not the sa, it’s just not the sa.
Yours is yours; what’s the point of carving out a piece from your land—that’s robbing the rich!
We’ll feel more at ease if we buy our own.”
Glolov also agreed, saying, “Although we’re really close, nobody likes to always be mooching off soone else’s hospitality, Gao.”
Morgan suddenly said, “Sorry to interrupt, but foreigners can buy houses and land in the United States.
However, owning property does not grant you residency rights, aning that even if you own a house here, you’ll still have to leave when your visa expires.
So, under what status do you plan to buy the land?”
Gao Yang was taken aback and said, “Right, I was so caught up in the excitent that I forgot about that.
We’re all illegal immigrants.
Does this an I own the land but can’t live on it?”
Morgan smiled and said, “Gentlen, the reason I brought this up is because I am honored to announce that there is a way to solve your predicant.”
After Morgan finished, he gave a slight cough, then his expression turned serious and said, “Speaking of which, Gao, I regret to inform you that you may never be able to return to Huaxia for the rest of your life.”
Gao Yang nodded in silence and said, “I know, I can’t think of going back ho in this lifeti unless I want to get caught by the police and be shot.”
Morgan frowned and asked, “How do you know that?”
Gao Yang said somberly, “When I was in Israel, I managed to contact my parents using General Wolfgang’s phone.
They were being monitored, so I can be sure that I am now a pri suspect for the police.”
Morgan sighed and said, “Simon didn’t tell
you’d been in touch with your family.
Well, I regret to inform you that things are not as simple as you think.
You’re no longer a suspect; you have been confird by the police as the murderer.
In fact, you are on the wanted list, and it’s a red notice from INTERPOL.”
Gao Yang exclaid in surprise, “No way?
How could I be on INTERPOL’s wanted list?”
After glancing at Li Jinfang, Morgan continued with a bitter smile, “It’s not just you but both you and Lee.
Because of the shooting incident in Moscow, you two are on INTERPOL’s criminal list for cross-border cris and smuggling, and unfortunately, you are listed on a red notice, which ans any police from a mber country of INTERPOL have the authority to arrest you and extradite you back to your country, including police in the United States.”
Glolov’s eyebrows imdiately knitted together.
He looked at Gao Yang and Li Jinfang with an apologetic face.
However, before Glolov could speak, Gao Yang imdiately stretched out his hand to stop him and said sternly to Glolov, “Don’t say anything unnecessary.
You know that Toad and I don’t care about being wanted.
Besides, I’m sure Morgan has a way to get us out of this ss, right, Morgan?”
Morgan smiled and said, “Of course, I’ve already ntioned that your trouble can be resolved.
I just wanted to tell you not to have any illusions about returning to Huaxia.
No, I think I need to formally warn you, unless you want to die, never try to go back to Huaxia.
And Lee, your situation is more serious than Gao’s since you have a military background in Huaxia, so don’t even think about going back to Huaxia in any form, not even approaching it.”(To be continued.
