It was already evening, and Liao Yuan came to the music market and stood in front of the Steinway flagship store, hesitating.
He was calculating the balance on his bank card and wanted to try to rent a piano worth about 200,000 yuan, but he soon discovered that even the rental price for one day exceeded the funds he currently held.
Forget it, just wait!
Liao Yuan glanced at the piano store reluctantly, sighed, and was about to turn around and leave when the glass door of the piano store opened.
The female saleswoman who received Liao Yuan yesterday looked at the familiar figure in front of her and said in surprise: "Sir? It's really you! Please come in!"
Liao Yuan hesitated to speak, but in the end he couldn't hold it back and walked into the piano store under the warm invitation of the female salesperson.
"Yesterday you left in a hurry and didn't leave your contact information. When our store manager held a meeting this morning, he criticized me by name. I was wronged!"
The female salesperson invited Liao Yuan to sit on the sofa in the store, then quickly made tea and water for Liao Yuan. Finally, she took out her mobile phone and made a call, then picked up a business card from the counter and handed it to Liao Yuan with both hands.
Yuan said enthusiastically: "This is my business card. I am Miao Bizhu, the sales consultant of our store. You can call me Miao Miao. What is your surname?"
"My surname is Liao." Liao Yuan forced a smile.
At this time, other salespeople in the store obviously noticed this scene.
After seeing the handsome guy from yesterday, everyone rushed over and said excitedly:
"It's really you, Master. The piece you played yesterday was really great!"
"Yes, yes, our store manager said this morning that when you come again, we must keep you well. At the very least, we must take a photo together!"
"Our store managers all say that you are a real young gentleman!"
"Wow, I didn't expect that someone with your status would come to buy a piano in person!"
"Sir, you are really approachable. He doesn't look aloof like a grand pianist at all."
"This is my first time to be face to face with a great pianist at such a close distance. It's such an honor!"
"By the way, sir, what's your surname? If we have the chance, we will definitely go to your concert to appreciate your works."
No matter how calm he was, Liao Yuan couldn't help but feel hot on his face under such praise from a group of salesmen.
He coughed and said seriously: "Excuse me, can I rent a piano?"
The scene suddenly fell silent.
Miao Bizhu was also stunned.
She looked at the serious Liao Yuan and suddenly smiled: "Sir, you really know how to joke."
Others also laughed immediately, thinking that this young grand pianist was not only handsome, but also very humorous.
In this world, any grand pianist with performance level, no matter how poor he is and unable to give concerts, still has the opportunity to become a guest of major theaters and become a well-paid pianist in the opera house.
As for a real grand pianist, not to mention one piano, even ten pianos, as long as the grand pianist needs something, there will be a steady stream of people giving it to him.
Now, this outstanding young pianist actually wants to rent a piano...
sky!
This completely subverts the perceptions of salespeople!
Being in this circle, they naturally know what being a grand pianist means.
In this era, people with profound knowledge and outstanding skills have always been considered the most valuable wealth of mankind.
And the pianist is exactly one of them.
Especially a pianist who can compose music independently is like a treasure that will melt away in his hands!
Although a little embarrassed, Liao Yuan was still extremely sincere and said seriously: "I really need a piano, but I don't have that much money, so I just want to rent one, well, just for one day."
Miao Bizhu and others looked at each other with surprise on their faces.
Gradually, their faces became serious.
"Wait a moment, I need to report this to the store manager." Miao Bizhu stood up and said, immediately leaving her seat.
Liao Yuan frowned slightly and sighed: "Isn't it possible? Forget it, I'll think of other ways."
The next moment, I wanted to get up.
"Sir, don't think too much."
Another sales consultant quickly stopped and explained: "Actually, our piano store does not carry out leasing business. We are a flagship store after all. Every piano is brand new and has an independent number. It is introduced and sold through a global network.
It is recorded and second-hand buying and selling is not allowed. If you want to rent a piano, you can actually take a look at the nearby second-hand piano store market."
Liao Yuan suddenly said: "That's right."
Seeing that Liao Yuan still wanted to leave, the sales consultant hurriedly said: "Hey, sir, don't leave in a hurry. Although we do not carry out leasing business, we can pay in installments, up to two years without interest. And in the end
The important thing is that our store manager wants to meet you..."
"See me?" Liao Yuan asked curiously: "Why are you meeting me?"
The sales consultant smiled bitterly and said: "The piece you played yesterday was really amazing! After listening to it, our store manager decided that you must be a great pianist who returned from overseas, so he wanted to make friends with you.
.”
Others also said quickly: "Yes, during the morning meeting this morning, the store manager gave us a task. As soon as you come to our music store again, you must notify him as soon as possible."
"Sir, please stay."
Miao Bizhu also came back at this time and consoled her: "Second-hand pianos look like brand new ones, but in fact most of them have been refurbished, and both the sound quality and sensitivity have been reduced to a certain extent. Brand-new pianos, although the price
It’s expensive, but it guarantees its performance.”
As she spoke, she made another cup of tea for Liao Yuan and smiled sweetly: "I know you don't have available funds for the time being, but it doesn't matter. After our store manager knows about this matter, he will definitely have a way to solve it for you."
"Yes, yes!"
The other store clerk said enthusiastically: "We have all seen your strength. Talented people are people like you. Our store manager is very well-connected in the industry. If nothing else, I will help you contact several theaters. When the time comes,
Just release a few songs, it’s just the funds for a piano, isn’t it already within your reach?”
Liao Yuan listened quietly for a while, and finally stood up and said: "Sorry, I'm not a professional pianist, just a hobbyist."
After saying that, he turned around and left.
The salesmen immediately became anxious.
At this moment, the glass door of the music store opened again.
A fat man in a suit and tie, about thirty years old, walked in panting, his steps were heavy, and he looked very tired. When he saw Liao Yuan, his thick eyebrows and big eyes suddenly shone.
He quickly took out the business card box from his wallet: "Hello, hello, I am Zhang Chao, the manager of this store and also a senior agent of our Steinway. This is my business card. Please accept it."
Liao Yuan was a little surprised, but still accepted the business card: "Hello, but I have other things to do..."
"I know, I know, but please wait a moment."
Zhang Chao said happily: "I heard Miao Miao tell you about you on the way here. Are you temporarily short of funds? It doesn't matter. A great pianist like you must not worry about the smell of copper."
Liao Yuan looked at the time and said bluntly: "First, I will not go to the so-called opera house to play. Second, my credit card does not have enough credit to pay in installments, so Mr. Zhang, please let me leave. My
Time is precious.”
Zhang Chao was stunned for a moment and then became quiet for a moment.
After thinking for a few seconds, he took out his mobile phone from his body, opened WeChat, did some operations, and finally handed it to Liao Yuan and said with concern: "Did you create this song by yourself? Maybe, you have
