In the next week, Xiao Ran participated in two warehouse auctions.
Unfortunately, he had no surprises at these two warehouse auctions.
He photographed three warehouses in total, but one warehouse barely managed to maintain its capital, while the other two warehouses ended up losing money.
Fortunately, the loss was not very big, and the total amount was only more than two thousand US dollars.
Finding that there was nothing good in these three warehouses, he discounted the warehouses and resold them to other professional treasure hunters, letting those guys clean them up.
Of course, those guys all made some money, otherwise they wouldn't have taken over.
These three consecutive misses made Xiao Ran's magical aura fade a lot.
The sour feeling in the hearts of some fans in the live broadcast room has somewhat faded away.
At this time, everyone believed it.
Xiao Ran picked up two big leaks in succession before, but it was just luck, not any special ability.
This has made many people feel a little more balanced and at peace.
But how did they know that this was done intentionally by Xiao Ran.
He wanted to use this method to resolve the magical aura on his body.
The result was as he expected, even better than expected!
In addition to attending two warehouse auctions, he's been doing a lot this week.
He completed his graduation thesis and met with his tutor to discuss it. The tutor's evaluation of the thesis was pretty good.
However, the paper is not finalized and needs some revisions.
On Thursday, he went out and rented a warehouse not far from UCla.
This is not a small warehouse like that of a warehousing company, but a medium-sized warehouse with an area of four to five hundred square meters and can store a lot of things.
The items stored in this warehouse in the future will be of relatively average value, so there is basically no need to worry about theft.
As for those valuable things, they will naturally not be stored here.
Since the green card has not yet been obtained, Xiao Ran did not rush to register a company and continued to work alone.
Elaine did not follow the two warehouse auctions he attended this week. He attended them alone.
In a blink of an eye, it’s Saturday.
At about 9:30 in the morning, Xiao Ran drove to the door of a gun store near Santa Monica Street.
As soon as he entered this street, he saw it from a distance.
David was standing in front of the gun store, talking to someone on the phone.
After parking the car on the side of the road, Xiao Ran got out of the car and walked straight to the door of the gun store.
Seeing him coming, David ended the call in a few words.
"Good morning, Sean"
"Good morning, David"
The two greeted each other and bumped elbows.
Immediately afterwards, David took out a document bag from his briefcase and handed it to Xiao Ran.
"Sean, here is your gun license and some other documents."
"In conjunction with the hunting license you obtained previously, you can legally hold a gun from today on."
Xiao Ran reached out and took the document bag, opened it and took out the gun permit contained in it to check it out.
In order to get this gun license as soon as possible, he spent a total of nearly 20,000 US dollars, which can basically be regarded as buying a gun license.
Just in case, when checking the gun permit, he secretly turned on X-ray and thoroughly looked through the gun permit and all the documents in the document bag.
No need to ask about the result!
The gun license was authentic, and so were the documents in the bag, with no trace of forgery.
"Thank you, David, for your hard work!"
"I never thought before that I could own this thing or a firearm."
“This is simply impossible in our country.”
David smiled and continued:
"I know that China has strict gun control, but the United States is very lax in this regard."
"As long as you have a gun license and money, you can buy a pistol at any time for self-defense."
Xiao Ran nodded slightly and put away his gun permit.
"Yes, I can buy a gun for self-defense, but everyone has a gun, and the risk is not reduced at all."
"No way, this is American culture, and who really cares about the problems that arise from it!"
With that said, they walked into the gun shop on the roadside.
After passing through two security gates, they actually entered the gun store.
The gun store is medium-sized and has a slightly dated decor.
But that doesn't matter, as long as the many firearms in the store are not outdated.
There are several rows of shelves and display cabinets in the store, and each shelf and display cabinet is filled with a variety of firearms.
From revolvers to Gatling guns, from automatic pistols to automatic rifles, to Barrett sniper rifles, etc., there is a dazzling array of items here.
In addition, there are some antique firearms here, all installed in glass display cases.
Obviously, those antique firearms are collected by gun shops and are also sold to the outside world, but the price is higher.
In Xiao Ran's eyes, those antique firearms from different eras all radiated brilliant light.
David knew the owner of the gun store and greeted him as soon as he entered the door.
"Good morning, Charlie, I've brought customers to take care of your business. Take out all the good guns in the store!"
The fat boss named Charlie then turned around and said jokingly:
"Good morning, David, as long as your customer has a gun license and money, even if he wants to buy a Gatling gun, I can provide it here!"
While talking, David and Xiao Ran came close.
Under David's introduction, Xiao Ran and the gun shop owner got to know each other.
After chatting for a few words, everyone got down to business.
"Sean, what gun do you want to buy? Do you have a specific goal?"
Upon hearing Charlie's question, Xiao Ran immediately gave the answer.
"I am an international student at UCLA. I have a legal gun license and hunting license. I can legally own firearms."
"But I am only qualified to buy and hold pistols, not other firearms."
"So I can only choose a pistol. I checked the relevant information. Relatively speaking, I prefer the HK45 pistol!"
"It would be great if I could buy two HK45 tactical pistols!"
After the words fell, Charlie nodded immediately.
"Good taste! The HK45 is an outstanding pistol with beautiful appearance and excellent performance. It can be regarded as a work of art among pistols!"
“I just got a new batch of HK45s here, you can choose two from them!”
"And there is a small shooting range underground in our store. You can go to the underground shooting range to try out guns!"
"That's great, I was just about to try the gun!"
Xiao Ran nodded excitedly.
Later, Charlie took Xiao Ran to a counter filled with various pistols and began to introduce the HK45 pistol on the counter.
At the same time as the introduction, the guy opened the showcase and took out the two hk45s placed inside.
At this time, Xiao Ran had already seen the two HK45s clearly through perspective.
In particular, he looked very carefully at the firing pin and the inside of the gun chamber.
As Charlie said, these two HK45s are indeed new guns and have no trace of being fired.
The serial number on the gun is as new as new and there are no issues.
After confirming that there was no problem, Xiao Ran ended the fluoroscopy and began to examine the German-made pistol.
After taking the pistol, he first held it, aimed forward, and felt it in his hand.
This famous pistol is well designed and ergonomically designed, feels comfortable in the hand, has a moderate weight, and has a very stable center of gravity.
Immediately afterwards, Xiao Ran quickly disassembled the pistol with a few clicks.
Seeing this scene, both David and Charlie were a little surprised, and their eyes shone.
Little did they know that when he secretly looked through it just now, he had already completely understood the structure of the pistol.
I have played the game of dismantling and reassembling guns before when I went to the shooting range to shoot, but I am not as skilled as I am now.
Soon, more than an hour passed.
David and Xiao Ran came out of the gun shop and came to the street outside.
At this time, Xiao Ran still looked like he was still unfinished.
In his left hand, there was a small black aluminum alloy suitcase.
What was inside was the two HK45 tactical pistols from before.
The matching bullets, several holsters, gun cleaning tools, etc. are all packed in a handbag and carried in the other hand.
Looking at David again, his face was full of shock.
"Sean, you are definitely the most talented guy I have ever seen. Your marksmanship is so accurate and your reaction speed is very fast, as fast as lightning."
"If I didn't know you, I would definitely think that you are an expert with guns, not a beginner."
Xiao Ran smiled softly and then changed the topic.
"It's almost time, David. I have to rush to attend an auction. Let's talk later."
Upon hearing this, David's eyes suddenly lit up.
"So be it, Sean, I hope you can find a valuable treasure again!"
"But one thing you must pay attention to is that when transporting the pistol, the bullets must be separated!"
"Understood, David, this is California law, I will not break the law!"
Xiao Ran nodded in response.
After saying a few more words, he turned around and left, driving straight to the auction that was about to begin.
As for the two HK45 pistols, they were locked in the newly installed small safe in the car for safety!
