Lin Zheng said modestly, and then asked: "Sister Helen, with all due respect, I wonder how our band's income is now?"
"You must also know that most people who work in bands actually don't make much money. Some people generate electricity just for love, and even have to give blood transfusions to the band while working. After all, equipment such as musical instruments requires a lot of money."
Sister Helen smiled and continued: "Our Rhinoceros band is relatively lucky. Several songs have become popular, so we can participate in some music festivals and commercial performances every year. In addition to the usual performances in bars, the income is
It's probably a few hundred thousand. The situation has been good in the past two years, and it can reach 700,000 or 800,000. It was much worse before.
In addition, starting from this year, our band has also started live broadcasting. Now we have more than one million fans and our income is also considerable."
"Doing a live broadcast?"
Lin Zheng was very interested in this, so he asked for advice.
"Usually we update a video every day, and we also do a live broadcast when we have time in the evening. During the live broadcast, I will bring goods and sell various musical instruments from the piano store. Sometimes I will also create special teaching videos, which not only brings us
It has a strong fan effect and also brings better benefits.”
Sister Helen said patiently.
"Listening to your words is worth ten years of reading."
Lin Zheng thanked him, hesitated for a moment, and then continued: "Sister Helen, I don't like to beat around the bush. If I have something to say, I will say it directly.
Actually, I am meeting you today because I want to advance a sum of money from my sister.
From now on, this money will be deducted from my salary or dividends until it is repaid.
During this period, I will try my best to cooperate with the band’s various performances and activities, what do you think?”
"How much do you need?"
Sister Helen pondered for a moment and asked.
"Fifty thousand, maybe."
This is a number that Lin Zheng decided upon after careful consideration.
He knew the situation at home very well. Because he went to college, he owed more than 20,000 yuan in debt. With the 50,000 yuan, he could pay off the debt, and the remaining 20,000 yuan would be enough to make his parents comfortable.
Lin Zheng also has a younger sister who is currently in junior high school. Since she doesn't attend any cram school or a private school, she doesn't have much money to spend.
The only thing their family spends a lot of money on is the cost of Lin Zheng's college education. Secondly, Lin Zheng's mother has diabetes and needs to take medicine every day, which may cost several hundred yuan a month.
Now Lin Zheng's tuition fees don't have to worry about his family. If he pays back his foreign debt, his family's conditions will immediately improve.
Of course, this is just a temporary measure. When I think of a solution in the future, I will definitely help the family improve more.
My parents are getting older and they have to work part-time jobs in addition to farming, which is very hard.
Now that he has the ability to give his parents a better life, he naturally can't bear to let them have to work so hard anymore.
"I thought you wanted half a million."
Sister Helen smiled: "It's only fifty thousand, I can transfer it to you now."
"Thank you, Sister Helen.
In addition, I would also like to ask you to officially announce my joining the Rhinoceros band on your Douyin account."
Lin Zheng said.
"When you join the Rhino Band, we will definitely tell everyone. We will also do a live broadcast together later to say hello to the fans."
As Sister Helen spoke, she looked at Lin Zheng with a curious expression and said, "In my opinion, you are not a high-profile person, otherwise you would have been famous for your skills..."
"I want my parents to see this. This money is also for them."
Lin Zheng gave a brief explanation.
Sister Helen nodded, but a new doubt arose: With Lin Zheng's skills, it is not easy to make money, so why wait until now?
But she also knew that everyone had their own privacy. Since Lin Zheng didn't want to talk about it, she didn't ask any more questions. She still had some emotional intelligence in dealing with people.
Confused, Sister Helen transferred the 50,000 yuan to Lin Zheng without hesitation on the spot.
In addition, a new update was posted on the Douyin account. The Rhino band has a new member and a photo of them was posted.
"Sister Helen, if you're polite, I won't say more.
I'm going to Yang County tomorrow and it may take a few days.
I will try my best to cooperate with any activities after I come back."
Lin Zheng said.
"Are you going to Yang County?"
Sister Helen asked curiously.
"Yes, there is a disaster over there, and I want to do my little bit."
Lin Zheng said.
"Our band also plans to go there in the next two days, how about we come together?"
Lin Zheng didn't expect that things would be such a coincidence, but after thinking about it, he declined Sister Helen politely. If he went with the band, many things would be inconvenient.
"It doesn't matter. We will act together next time when we have the opportunity."
"Thank you for understanding.
By the way, Sister Helen, can I open an account for live broadcast?"
Lin Zheng asked.
"Of course, it's your freedom.
In fact, other members of our band also have their own accounts, and they all have a lot of fans."
Sister Helen smiled.
Lin Zheng smiled and said: "Then when I start broadcasting, please give Sister Helen a lot of support."
"that's for sure."
"Sister Helen, let's go here today, and wait until I come back from Yang County to meet you all."
After Lin Zheng finished speaking, he said goodbye.
Sister Helen also stood up, patted Lin Zheng and said, "Maybe we can meet in Yang County.
Come on, I'll take you back to school."
"No trouble, I won't go back to school today..." Lin Zheng declined Sister Helen's kindness again.
However, Sister Helen was too enthusiastic, so Lin Zheng had no choice but to ask her to send him to the hospital.
"When you have time, you can record a video and post it first, so I can help you promote it."
After sending Lin Zheng to the door of the hospital, Sister Helen warned again.
"Okay, I'll record it when I have time."
After sending Sister Helen away, Lin Zheng did not enter the hospital, but walked towards a watermelon stall not far away.
It was already past nine o'clock in the evening, and the number of pedestrians on the road was gradually sparse, but the melon stall showed no intention of closing.
Next to the melon stall, a middle-aged couple was sitting on the carriage having dinner, a few sesame seed cakes and a few side dishes, that's all.
Sensing someone approaching, the male stall owner turned his head and greeted quickly: "Little brother, do you want to buy melons?
Home-grown local watermelon, cooked and sweet, no charge for unripe ones..."
Lin Zheng walked over, knocked on the watermelon, and asked casually: "Uncle, is this all left?"
"Yes, that's it. But don't worry, these melons are cooked and sweet. I'm sure you'll want to eat them again."
Lin Zheng smiled and said, "Okay, pretend it all for me."
"What?
You want them all?
There are still dozens of them, have you finished them?"
The male stall owner said kindly.
"Yes, little brother, if you don't finish eating it, it will get spoiled."
The female stall owner also spoke at this time.
"It doesn't matter, you can go home early after the sale is over..." Lin Zheng said.
