Pick up bargains in Chinatown and make 10,000 times the profit at the beginning

Chapter 95 Convergence Point

"Relax, practicing shooting is very simple. We just need to be a little more restrained." The uncle said to Lin Yuan.

They came to a training ground, and my uncle simply applied for two membership cards. Because they applied for senior membership cards, the manager of the training ground immediately arranged for their best coach to come.

My uncle, now that he has money, has become more generous.

"Uncle, have you practiced it?" Lin Yuan asked.

My uncle rolled his eyes and said, "Nonsense! If you have been in the United States for so many years and have never touched a gun, then you have wasted your time. For us Chinese, we can use this thing almost as soon as we touch it."

But it's not just him. As far as I know, many Chinese are like him. Once they touch a gun and learn how to operate it, their skills seem to light up.

"Then why don't you buy a gun?" Lin Yuan was puzzled.

My uncle was speechless for a few seconds.

He asked back, "Why do I need a gun?"

Lin Yuan fell silent when he thought about how his uncle's family was penniless at the beginning.

There is really no need to carry a gun.

"But it's different now. Rich people are easily targeted. You understand?"

Lin Yuan nodded slightly to show that he understood.

The history of civilian gun ownership in the United States is long, and guns have become an important cultural symbol of the United States. The first article of the Declaration of Human Rights is about freedom of speech and belief, and the second article is about the right of citizens to own guns. Guns are considered "a symbol of order and a totem of conservatism" in the United States.

Gun culture has been integrated into the blood of Americans. Americans have a special affection for guns. The U.S. Constitution affirms the right to bear arms, and the right to own guns for self-defense is regarded as a symbol of the American spirit.

It is no exaggeration to say that in the United States, for many gun rights advocates, the right to own and carry guns is regarded as one of the most basic human rights, just like freedom of speech.

Soon, the coach came. He was a muscular man with tattoos on his arms. His name was Tony.

Coach Tony knew that this was a big client, so he paid more attention to the lesson and taught Lin Yuan very carefully, telling him how to hold the gun, how to open the safety, etc.

Every gun is used differently.

Then, Tony demonstrated it to Lin Yuan once and then taught him step by step.

Lin Yuan fired the first shot in his life.

In China, when I was in college, I touched a gun during military training, but it was empty and I couldn't have fun. Now, overseas, I can finally let loose.

Tony was stunned for a moment, then immediately applauded: "Very good!"

Soon, Tony was numb. This doesn't look like a novice at all! But looking at Lin Yuan's excited look, it seems that he is a novice again.

"Ahem! Be more restrained." The uncle reminded Lin Yuan from the side.

Lin Yuan spent the whole morning playing at the training ground, enjoying all kinds of guns. The number of bullets he fired was enough to make the manager and coach of the training ground gasp.

Good man! They usually have a week's worth of ammunition at the training ground, and you used it up in just one morning?
He is indeed a big customer!

The uncle was too lazy to care. Anyway, they had plenty of money now, so he didn't want to spoil his nephew's fun and let him have enough fun, right?

"Are you still practicing this afternoon? If so, I'll have someone deliver the goods over right away." asked the manager of the training ground.

The uncle didn't say anything and looked at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan still wanted to play, but his hands were sore after shooting for a whole morning. To be honest, if his body had not been strengthened by the golden finger, he would not have been able to play for a whole morning.

"Next time! That's all for today."

"Okay!" The manager was a little disappointed.

However, his uncle's words soon 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 others to choose guns.

In the United States, there are many places to buy guns, including specialized gun stores, gun supermarkets, and gun shows.

It is even more convenient to buy a gun at a gun show, where even background checks are waived. In the United States, there are many gun shows, and business is particularly good. In the peak period, there can be more than 30 gun shows in the United States in a week, and thousands of gun shows a year.

The manager of the training ground told Lin Yuan and others that a lot of people had bought guns recently, and also told Lin Yuan which models of guns were the most popular, etc.

My uncle was not surprised at all. With the chaos in the United States recently and so many shootings, it would be strange if guns were not selling well.

Generally speaking, after a major shooting, gun dealers' business becomes particularly prosperous. Some people worry about their own safety and realize the necessity of owning a gun for self-defense, while others worry that the government will strengthen regulation, so shootings may even trigger a buying spree.

For the general public, guns are like a kind of insurance, a kind of insurance that can protect oneself and save lives in extreme situations.

"I want one of each model of these guns. By the way, don't forget to buy the bullets and have them delivered to your door," asked my uncle.

The manager grinned so hard that his teeth showed. An ordinary small pistol did not have much profit and could be bought for three or two hundred dollars. More expensive ones cost several hundred dollars. Rifles were slightly more expensive, but generally only cost a thousand or a few hundred dollars.

However, he also has some powerful big guns here! They are not cheap.

"No problem! We will definitely deliver it to your door."

My uncle added: "Help us with the paperwork."

Be aware that there are other costs to consider when purchasing a gun, such as licenses, background check fees, taxes, etc.

Some things are difficult for Chinese people to handle, so it’s better to spend some money and let someone else do it.

The manager was even happier.

One-stop service naturally charges more.

"OK! I'll get it done for you today."

He was not bragging. Training grounds like theirs had connections with relevant departments, and they could expedite the process by paying a little money. As soon as he saw these two Chinese people, he knew they were not short of money.

The uncle looked at Tony and had a good impression of this muscular man.

"Tony, are you interested in joining us? Your main job is to protect my nephew. We will pay you twice as much as you earn here." said the uncle.

He now takes his nephew's safety very seriously.

Unfortunately, it was not very safe in the United States, so he had thought about hiring a bodyguard. When he saw Tony, he was tempted.

Tony was stunned, then nodded.

Only a fool would not do this, the salary is twice as much! Besides, 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 $10,000."

The uncle nodded and said, "I'll give you $20,000 a month. If you do a good job, you'll get a bonus at the end of the year. How about that?"

"No problem! Boss!" Tony immediately changed his tone.

Whoever wants to be the coach in this training ground can be the coach.

The manager witnessed all this but did not stop it. He was just a shooting coach and they could find one easily. There was no need to offend this big customer.

He even recommended it to his uncle: "Our David is also good at shooting and fighting."

Uncle: “…”
