Fu Tiao's response and Lang Liangyue's apology gave everyone countless thoughts, but neither of them gave a follow-up response.

But Fu Diao didn't care about this kind of thing, and he also didn't understand this kind of thing.

After just sorting out his luggage, he went directly to Essen and waited for his car to go back to Berlin.

When we arrived, three people came together, but when we left, Fu Diao was the only one, but Fu Diao still chose a first-class seat.

He planned to go back to Berlin to rest for a while, and when the concert was completely over, he would come back if there were awards. If there were no awards, he would just pretend that there was no such thing.

There were still many emails sent to him on the road, and he responded in order of closeness. After confirming that there was no error or omission in any email, he breathed a sigh of relief.

The thrill of playing a god-level performance still echoed in his body, but the response after the performance also gave him a headache and exhaustion.

He looked at his phone and began to wonder whether he should go back and buy a tablet to use.

Or buy an ultra-thin laptop?

Fu Diao gently turned his phone and looked out the window and couldn't help but think of this.

After all, if he uses a tablet, he can directly spend money to buy some pdfs of music scores to read, instead of always reading those expensive music scores.

Maybe I can spend a lot less money on music scores.

But similarly, the price of buying a tablet computer is not expensive. He is now in Germany. Unless he specifically applies for a visa to a beautiful country, there may be some discounts for buying a tablet in a beautiful country. Otherwise, he is here.

The price you get is much more expensive than the price in China.

In order to promote the development of local enterprises, the EU has made electronic tariffs extremely high.

Fu Diao remembered that when he went to Satrun, a national chain of computer stores in Germany, the number of dollars was equal to the number of euros.

Oh no, it seems to be even higher, almost 100 euros to 200 euros.

This price is simply outrageous. It’s so outrageous that they opened the door. It’s so outrageous.

The exchange rate of the euro is higher than that of the U.S. dollar. 1 euro can be exchanged for a few points of a U.S. dollar. If you sell it in the European Union, it will still be at the price of the U.S. dollar, plus so much money.

This made Fu Diao a little hesitant and reluctant to buy a tablet to read music scores.

Even if he now has tens of thousands or hundreds of thousands of euros in cash, he is enough to become a millionaire with millions in liquidity.

But if Fu Tiao is really asked to buy this iPad, Fu Tiao feels that it is a bit of a waste.

So he shook the phone in his hand and looked out the window, his mind extremely relaxed.

As an old industrial area, the Ruhr area has a high overall degree of industrialization. The scenery you can see outside the window is still a bit gray. Even though Fu Tiao has left the dark clouds and walked to a brighter place.

In this place, the sunlight shines directly down on the light red eaves, shining golden light on them. Fu Diao still feels that the Ruhr area still looks lifeless.

There is no way, this is the characteristic of old industrial areas. With the development of the times, a large number of talents have been lost, and countless factories have been closed down. However, the environment destroyed by factories cannot be restored to its previous state.

The people in Germany could only watch the environment here become worse and worse but were unable to do anything. They could only renovate those factories and transform them into museums. They have won a lot of awards and are known as the most successful museums.

But so what?

No matter how well their museums are built and how many awards they win, the entire Ruhr area remains lifeless, and this cannot be changed.

Fu Tiao suddenly thought of this while looking at the scenery outside the window.

However, while he was in a daze, his cell phone suddenly rang again. He couldn't help but be stunned when he looked at his noisy cell phone, and then clicked to connect.

Fu Tiao temporarily put many people on the blacklist, leaving only a few people outside, so those who can get through to him must be some people on the whitelist.

For example, his teacher and the person in charge of the brokerage company.

He picked up the phone and said directly: "Hello, this is Fu Tiao."

"Hello Fu Diao, I am your agent Zimmerlin, from Deutsche Grammophon."

Zimmerling, his agent, the person in charge.

He was already standing inside Deutsche Grammophon at this moment.

When he was on vacation, he suddenly received a call from the person in charge of the Ruhr Piano Festival. Therefore, before Fu Diao finished his performance for the day, he stayed up late and ran more than 20 kilometers at night, walking in the middle of the forest.

Arrive at the nearest station and follow the night train all the way back to Berlin.

By the time he arrived in Berlin, it was almost five o'clock, it was almost dawn, and the company was already full of people working at this time.

This is the case for people here in Germany. The eight-hour work system is the eight-hour work system.

In order to enjoy life better, many of them will choose to get up at five or six in the morning and run to work.

Because of the eight-hour working time, they can take a break from get off work around two o'clock in the afternoon and enjoy the noon sunshine.

The closer it is to summer, the earlier they get up.

When the group of people saw Zimmerin coming in, they said "good morning" to Zimmerin in unison, and continued to get involved in their work, just drinking a cup of coffee in between work.

The same was true for Zimmerin. After saying good morning to everyone, he came to his seat and began to take over yesterday's work.

People at the Ruhr Piano Festival uploaded the recording of Fu Tiao's performance at the Ruhr Piano Festival to them not long after the Fu Tiao concert ended. Zimmerin's current job is to check the integrity of the recording and confirm

After the handover between the two parties was correct, they began to simply process the segmentation and submit the recording to the production department.

He tilted his head and held his mobile phone between his neck. He walked toward the production department with a cup of coffee, flipped through the documents in his hand, and asked Fu Diao.

"Dior, I want to ask where you are now?"

"I?"

Fu Diao glanced at the scenery outside the window and saw the sign in the distance. He hesitated and said: "I should be near Hesse now. I should have arrived in Kassel, because I saw the sign in the distance, Uni."

Kassel (University of Kassel), not far away there is Kassel akademie, Kassel Academy.”

"Kassel? Damn it, does the train from Essen to Berlin stop at Kassel? How could I remember not to use it?"

Zimmerin muttered a few words in a low voice, then shook his head and said to Fu Diao: "Forget it, this is not important. I have a few documents here that I need you to sign. Do you have a notebook over there? Or a tablet.

Can a computer work too?”

"notebook……"

Fu Tiao was stunned. He had just wanted to buy a laptop or tablet, but his agent called him to ask if he had one. He felt there was a coincidence for some reason. He couldn't help but smile and shook his head, and said directly: "No, I'm sorry.

I don’t have a tablet or laptop around me, so I’m planning to buy one, but I’m still hesitant.”

"If you buy it, it's actually good to buy a tablet. If there are no additional needs, I don't think you need to use those ultra-thin laptops. After all, many artists I know are starting to use similar products. Before

It was an ink screen, now it’s a tablet.”

Zimmerin made a few casual suggestions, then stopped talking and continued to Fu Diao.

"These things are all off topic. My personal suggestion is to buy one and use it. It doesn't matter whether you use it or not. I have a few documents here to transfer to you. You can see if you can sign on the document. If

If you can’t sign, go back to the company and sign your name there.”

"Signature? What signature?"

Fu Diao raised his head and glanced at the other people around him. After hesitating, he stood up and walked to the toilet. After closing the door and pulling down the toilet lid, he sat on the toilet, turned the phone to loudspeaker, and continued to open the email and spoke to Zimmerin.

asked.

"I haven't received the documents yet..."

"Wait a minute, there is a problem with my network and it is being transmitted... Okay, it's done, have you received it?"

"Let me see……"

Before Fu Diao refreshed his mailbox, a message notification suddenly appeared in the mailbox. It was sent from the company mailbox of Deutsche Grammophon. It contained authorized signature letters in German and English.

Fu Diao couldn't understand German, but he could still understand some English, so he opened the English file and started reading.

Zimmerin on the other end of the phone said to Fu Diao: "This is the authorization document for your Ruhr Piano Festival recording. You authorize us to record, sell and other activities on your recording files. In short, the copyright usage rights

It belongs to us. We can record an unlimited number of times within a limited time, but for each recording, we must give a share of the money according to the market price... No, to be precise, it is not a share, but a buyout."

"Buyout? I don't understand. What do you mean?" Fu Diao couldn't help but ask.

Zimmerin paused and explained to Fu Diao.

"Let's put it this way, to put it in clearer terms, the number of records we are going to record this time is 10,000. For these 10,000 records, we will first give you a licensing fee of 10,000 euros. In addition, for each record we will

We will directly give you a share of 11.34 euros, which is a total price of 123,400 euros. This is the price after tax. The price before tax is borne by us. At the same time, the recording and sales channels of the record,

It’s also our responsibility, can you understand?”

Fu Diao nodded thoughtfully: "I probably understand."

To put it simply, this is equivalent to selling a book. The first is the licensing fee. Every time you open a factory line, you need to adjust the licensing fee to Fu.

Secondly, regardless of whether the records are sold or not, they need to pay Fu Tiao corresponding money for all the records, not just how many records are sold.

This is different from the previous recordings of the Chopin International Piano Competition.

The recording price of the Chopin International Piano Competition is actually based on the quarterly settlement price. Each quarter, according to the quantity he sells, Fu will be given as much money as the tune. If the sales are good, he will be given more, and if the sales are poor, he will be given less. In this way, the risk will be

Share evenly with Fu Tiao.

Deutsche Grammophon was completely different. They gave all the money to Fu Tiao at once, which meant that all risks of the record were borne by themselves.

If none of the records can be sold, then in addition to losing the money for recording the records, the money for Fu to tune the records, and the expenses for the Ruhr Piano Festival, they also lose money for transportation, money for buying goods, and
To be continued...
