Chapter 95 Convergence Point
"Relax, practicing gunfighting is very simple. Let's just calm down a little." The old uncle said to Lin Yuan.
They came to a training ground, and the old uncle simply got two membership cards here. Because they were applying for a premium membership card, the manager of the training ground immediately arranged for their best coach to come over.
The old uncle who has money is now proud.
"Uncle, have you practiced?" Lin Yuan asked.
I saw the old uncle rolling his eyes: "Nonsense! If you have never touched a gun in the United States for so many years, wouldn't it be in vain? For us Chinese, this thing can be mastered almost as soon as we touch it."
It's not just him. As far as my uncle knows, many Chinese are like him. After touching the gun and understanding the operation, their skills seem to light up.
"Then why don't you buy a gun?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.
The old uncle was speechless for a few seconds.
He asked: "What do I need a gun for?"
Lin Yuan fell silent when he thought of his old uncle's desolate condition at the beginning.
There is really no need to have a gun.
"But it's different now. Rich people are easily targeted, do you understand?"
Lin Yuan nodded slightly to express his understanding.
Americans have a long history of holding guns, and guns have become an important cultural symbol of the United States. Article 1 of the Declaration of Human Rights is about freedom of speech and belief, and Article 2 is about citizens’ right to own guns. Guns are considered "a symbol of order and a totem of conservatism" in the United States.
Gun culture is ingrained in the American blood. Americans have a special affection for guns. The U.S. Constitution affirms the right to bear arms, and the right to own firearms for self-defense is regarded as a symbol of the American spirit.
It is no exaggeration to say that for many gun rights advocates in the United States, the right to own and bear firearms is considered one of the most basic human rights, along with freedom of speech.
Soon, the coach came. He was a muscular man with a tattoo on his arm. His name was Tony.
Coach Tony knew that this was a big customer, so he was more attentive and taught Lin Yuan very carefully, telling Lin Yuan how to hold the gun, how to open the safety, etc.
Each gun has a different way of using it.
Then, Tony gave Lin Yuan a demonstration and then taught him step by step.
Lin Yuan fired the first shot in his life.
In China, during military training in college, although I touched a gun, there were no bullets in it, so I couldn't enjoy it. Now, you can finally go wild overseas.
Tony was stunned for a moment and immediately clapped: "Very good!"
Soon, Tony became numb. This doesn't look like a newbie! But looking at Lin Yuan's excited look, he seemed to be a newbie again.
"Ahem! Calm down." The old uncle reminded Lin Yuan from the side.
Lin Yuan spent the whole morning playing at the training ground and was completely addicted to all kinds of games. The bullets fired shocked the managers and coaches at the training ground.
Good guy! Their training ground usually has enough ammunition for a week, but you can use it up in one morning?
It’s really a big customer!
The old uncle was too lazy to take care of it. Anyway, they had plenty of money now, so they wouldn't spoil the nephew's fun. Let him have enough fun, right?
"Are you still practicing in the afternoon? If so, I'll have someone deliver it right away." The manager of the training ground asked.
The old uncle said nothing and looked at Lin Yuan.
Lin Yuan still wanted to play, but after shooting all morning, his hands were sore. To be honest, if his body hadn't been strengthened by Golden Finger, he wouldn't have been able to play all morning.
"Next time! That's all for today."
"Okay!" The manager was a little disappointed.
However, the old uncle's words quickly made him happy again, and he immediately asked someone to pour coffee for Lin Yuan and the others.
"Do you have any new guns? Let's buy a few." "Yes, please follow me." The manager of the training ground quickly led Lin Yuan and the others to select guns.
In the United States, there are many places where you can buy guns, including specialized gun stores, even gun supermarkets, and even gun shows.
Buying a gun at a gun show is even more convenient, and background checks are even waived at gun shows. In the United States, there are many gun shows, and the business is very good. Sometimes there are more than 30 gun shows a week in the United States, and there are thousands of gun shows a year.
The manager of the training ground told Lin Yuan and the others that a lot of people have been buying guns recently, and also told Lin Yuan which types of guns were the most popular.
The old uncle was not surprised at all. The United States has been so chaotic recently and there have been so many shootings. It’s no wonder that guns are hard to sell.
Generally speaking, after a major shooting incident, gun dealers' business is particularly prosperous. Some people are worried about their own safety and realize the necessity of owning a gun for self-defense. Others are worried about the government tightening controls, so shooting incidents may even trigger panic buying. tide.
For the general public, guns are like a kind of insurance, a kind of insurance that can protect themselves and save lives in extreme situations.
"One of each of these guns. By the way, don't forget to pack the bullets. Will they be delivered to your door?" asked the old uncle.
The manager suddenly laughed so hard that he couldn't see his eyesight. An ordinary small pistol has little profit and can be bought for three to two hundred dollars. The more expensive ones are a few hundred dollars. The rifle is slightly more expensive, but generally it only costs a thousand or a few hundred dollars.
However, he also has a powerful big guy here! The price is not cheap.
Check out the 16-9 book bar and see the correct version!
"No problem! Delivery will definitely come to your door."
The old uncle said again: "By the way, help us with the procedures."
Be aware that there are other costs to consider when purchasing a gun, such as licenses, background check fees, taxes, etc.
There are some things that are not easy for Chinese people to handle, so it is better to spend some money and let others do it.
The manager was even happier.
One-stop service naturally charges more.
"OK! I'll help you get it done today."
It's not that he's bragging. A training ground like theirs has connections with relevant departments, and they can expedite the process with just a little money. One look at these two Chinese people, and you can tell that they are not short of money.
The old uncle looked at Tony and had a good impression of this muscular man.
"Tony, are you interested in hanging out with us? Your main job is to protect my nephew. We will pay double your salary here," the old uncle said.
He now attaches great importance to his nephew's safety.
It happened that the United States was not very safe, so he thought about hiring bodyguards. When I saw Tony, I became interested.
Tony was stunned for a moment, then nodded.
Only a fool wouldn't do it, double the salary! Moreover, just being a bodyguard for Lin Yuan is easier than being a coach here.
But he still made it clear to Lin Yuan and the others in advance.
"My current monthly salary is about US$10,000."
The old uncle nodded: "I will give you 20,000 US dollars a month. If you do well, there will be a bonus at the end of the year. How about that?"
"No problem! Boss!" Tony immediately changed his words.
Whoever likes to be the coach of this training ground can be the coach.
The manager witnessed all this and did not stop him. They were just gun-training coaches. They could find them at will. There was no need to offend this big customer.
He even recommended to his uncle: "Our David has good spear skills and is good at fighting."
Old uncle: "..."
