After leaving Delong Building, Lu Chen and Lu Xi took a taxi back to the studio.
Lu Xi asked curiously: "What's going on with Manager Wen? Why are you so polite to you?"
She and Lu Chen came to EMI to sign the contract together. After signing, they waited in the reception room and did not go to the listening room, so they did not know what happened next.
When Wen Zhiyuan sent the two people out just now, he was extremely polite.
It can even be said to be flattering.
This made Lu Xi feel very strange. The attitude of the director of EMI's brokerage department had changed too much.
Lu Chen chuckled and briefly explained the grievances between Wen Zhiyuan and Zhang Qiong.
This was what Wen Zhiyuan himself told Lu Chen.
After listening to this, Lu Xi suddenly realized: "So that's it. Others say the workplace is dangerous, but it's true."
She couldn't help but shook her head.
Lu Chen had always been unwilling to sign a contract with another major company, and even declined the personal invitation from the music director of Feishi Records. At that time, she was somewhat confused, but now that she thinks about it, Lu Chen's choice was really the right one.
There is definitely no comparison between EMI and Fei Shi Records, and the internal intrigues are so fierce. If she and Lu Chen entered Fei Stone Records, she didn't know what kind of situation they would face.
Although Lu Xi has a strong character, he doesn't like fighting with others.
Although the studio Lu Chen opened himself was weak, it had no problems in this regard.
Provided he can make that much money!
Drop! Drop!
Suddenly, the mobile phone Lu Xi put in his small bag rang twice.
She took it out and looked at it, and immediately smiled with joy: "The money from EMI has arrived!"
"So fast?"
Lu Chen was also surprised. When he and Lu Xi went out, money caught up with them. Wasn't it too efficient?
The terms of the originally signed contract stipulated that payment should be completed within three days.
Lu Xi smiled and said, "It seems they attach great importance to you!"
If we don't pay attention to it, EMI's finances will not be able to allocate the money so quickly.
Someone at the top must have spoken.
Lu Chen smiled: "If they want songs again in the future, we will have to increase the price!"
He was undoubtedly on the right track by insisting on the strategy of high-priced high-quality products from the beginning. Customers like EMI, as long as they taste the benefits, will slowly increase the price later, and they will be able to bear it like a frog boiled in warm water.
If the previous quotation was low, it would be bad if you raise it too high all of a sudden. It will easily damage your reputation.
Lu Xi was speechless.
She found that she could no longer see through her brother.
Drop! Drop!
The phone rang again.
Lu Xi took a closer look and smiled again, even happier.
Lu Chen was stunned: "What?"
Lu Xi shook his phone and said proudly: "The bonus from Beijing TV has arrived, 1.4 million!"
Lu Chen won the championship of "Singing China". Although he gave up 4 million in the so-called new star cultivation bonus, the total cash reward was still as high as 1.4 million, and it was after tax.
However, the money was not obtained immediately, and the satellite TV also needed to go through procedures.
Now that the account has arrived, it’s a double blessing!
Lu Chen was even happier and said without hesitation: "Then transfer one million to mom first and let's go buy a car."
He shouted to the taxi driver in front of him: "Master, please take us to Jingguan Auto City."
Lu Xi couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't be so anxious, right?"
It's okay to send money to my mother, but it's too much to rush to buy a car now.
Lu Chen smiled and said: "Buy in the morning and buy in the evening. It's just right to buy now."
Since the establishment of the studio, several people have been hired, and the daily work has gradually become busier. It is really inconvenient to travel without a car, and it also wastes time.
Time is money, and he has long wanted to buy a car, just waiting for the bonus from Beijing TV to arrive.
Now that Lu Chen had made up his mind, Lu Xi no longer objected.
After all, the studio relies on him alone to make money, and now that he has made so much money, buying a car is nothing.
Lu Xi thought for a moment and said, "Then I'll call Li Feiyu. He used to work in a 4S store, so he must know his stuff."
Lu Chen nodded: "Yeah!"
When the two arrived at Jingguan Automobile City, Li Feiyu was already waiting at the gate.
The 4S shop where he used to work was in the Automobile City, and he was definitely familiar with the business. There was no way he would be cheated.
Seeing Lu Chen and Lu Xi, classmate Xiao Fei ran over with a smile on his face and asked impatiently: "Dachen, you are finally going to buy a car. I have been looking forward to this day. Think about it."
What kind of car is there?"
He is Lu Chen's assistant. The car you bought must be driven by him.
Lu Chen said: "We don't need to buy something too good, or a luxury car, it just needs to be affordable and affordable."
“As for the price”
He thought for a moment and said, "About two hundred thousand, please help me take a look."
"Two hundred thousand?"
Li Feiyu scratched his head and said: "If it's at this price, then choose a domestically produced compact SUV. It's a gasoline-electric hybrid. The state subsidy is very high. It's not only fuel-efficient, but its configuration is equivalent to an imported car costing RMB 400,000 to 500,000."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You are an expert and I will listen to you."
He took the driver's license test when he was 18 years old and drove the family car. He liked cars but didn't know much about them.
When your career has just started, there is no need to buy a car that is too good, but it cannot be too bad either.
The high-quality products in domestically produced cars should be a good choice.
Lu Xi said: "Then you go and choose first. I'll go to the bank and come over after transferring the money."
So they parted ways, and Lu Chen followed Li Feiyu around the Auto City to choose a car, and visited several stores in succession.
Finally we came to the 4S store of China Automobile.
A white SUV placed at the front door immediately attracted Lu Chen's attention.
The shape of this car is very good, the appearance is grand yet refined, the split front face and curved headlights are perfectly integrated, giving people a powerful feeling.
Li Feiyu recognized it at a glance: "Zhonghua x7? This new car is already on the market!"
The two of them stopped in front of the new car, and immediately a salesperson from the 4S store came over to introduce it to them enthusiastically.
This Zhonghua x7 is a new urban SUV just launched by Zhonghua Automobile. It is an environmentally friendly gasoline-electric hybrid. It integrates many of the latest technologies and has a very high technical content.
In addition to its efficient and fuel-saving power system, its configuration is also very good, including front and rear radars, smart cruise, on-board computer, panoramic sunroof, leather seats, etc., and the interior space is spacious enough.
The biggest feature of the gasoline-electric hybrid is fuel economy, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is very low. Of course, there is a gap between the power performance and traditional power, but Lu Chen is neither racing nor off-road, and it is completely sufficient for running in the city.
The most important thing is that the safety configuration of this car is in place, the frame is strong and made of materials, and it is equipped with six airbags.
If it is left open to Lu Xi, he can rest assured.
In addition, among domestically produced cars, Zhonghua is a well-known brand and its quality has always been reliable.
As for the price, it ranges from 190,000 to 290,000 depending on the configuration.
Li Feiyu was full of praise for this new car, and Lu Chen was also very satisfied, so he asked the sales staff to arrange a test drive and drove the Zhonghua x7 around the automobile city.
When we drove back to the 4S store, Lu Xi also came over.
My sister didn't have any requirements for the car, as long as Lu Chen liked it, she and Li Feiyu negotiated the price together.
Lu Chen finally decided to buy a car with comfortable configuration. After subsidies, the naked car price was 245,000. The final price was not less, but the 4S store added interior decoration and services worth about 20,000, as well as small gifts.
Including insurance, purchase tax and other expenses, the final price of the whole vehicle is 263,000.
I paid by swiping my card on site, applied for insurance and a temporary license, and picked up a new car directly from the 4S store.
Taking some time in between, the three of them had a late lunch together.
The color of the car body was chosen to be white. Lu Xi was very satisfied except that he was a little worried that it would get dirty easily.
The three of them went back together and drove the new car.
The driver was Li Feiyu. Lu Chen saw that he liked the car very much, so he graciously gave up the first driving right.
Li Feiyu drove his new car onto the elevated highway in high spirits and said: "Dachen, now that you have a studio and a car, you can consider buying a house in the capital. How can a big star live in an office!"
Lu Chen gave up the single apartment he originally rented to his sister. He has been living in the studio.
He plans to find another small apartment to live near the park.
As for buying a house by yourself?
Lu Chen smiled bitterly and said, "I really can't afford a house in Beijing now. Let's talk about it in a few years."
His first consideration is to pay off all the family's debts, and buying a house will be a long time coming.
Even though Lu Chen is making a lot of money now, according to his own estimation, if nothing unexpected happens, he will have to pay off his family's debts, at least until the next year.
But compared to the despair that lasted a lifetime, now I am extremely happy.
As for buying a house, the houses in Beijing are the highest in the country, and the average price is almost sky-high.
He just received more than one million yuan. Even if he doesn't use all of it to buy a house, he can only buy a bedroom in a new house in a better location. It's not even enough for a down payment!
It is said that the biggest dream of many third- and fourth-tier celebrities is to save enough money to buy an apartment within the Fifth Ring Road of Beijing.
The income of third- and fourth-tier artists is not too bad, but their daily expenses are also high. Buying a house is really a luxury.
Li Feiyu sighed: "Yes, the house is too expensive, I have to go home sooner or later."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Are you taking Miss Mei back with you?"
Li Feiyu chuckled.
Since Chen Xiaomei started working in the studio, Li Feiyu's pursuit seems to have achieved some results.
We were running all the way chatting and laughing, and we were almost at the park.
At this time, Lu Chen's phone rang.
It was Chen Jianhao who called, and he asked Lu Chen to go to a teahouse in the university town.
So Lu Chen asked Li Feiyu to drive to the studio first, and then drove himself to the place where Chen Jianhao said.
When we found the place, it was already 2pm——
