645. I will kill you in the second movement of confession.
"This title is important to you from both a business perspective and a social perspective."
"Paul is right, as long as it comes to the piano field, there is no way around Steinway."
“The title of Steinway Artist means the highest standard in the current piano industry, and this is true whether you are in or outside the circle.”
"Your future belongs to the international stage, and joining Steinway will shorten a certain amount of time and cost."
"Our college has compiled statistics on the classical music market. In the past five years, there have been about 140 young pianists entering the market every year, and this trend continues unabated, and this is only for musical instruments such as pianos.
"In fact, the classical music market is no longer as prosperous as it seems on the surface. The older generation of musicians has always occupied the top spot in the market, while the new generation of musicians has emerged in large numbers year after year, and the market has long been saturated."
"Riegel said that in ten years there will be a large number of musicians facing unemployment."
"This means that your competitors in the future will not only be the people competing with you on the same stage, but also the judges sitting in the audience."
"Then joining Steinway will not only make you a leader in your class at this stage, but it can also be seen as a form of insurance purchased in advance to protect the future."
“Of course, the cost incurred by Steinway in the whole process is almost negligible, and they can explore new young people without limit.
"But what you pay is just a display of potential."
"The value preservation of this insurance ultimately depends on your personal achievements. When your business value becomes more obvious, the value preservation will be higher, and it will get higher and higher as time goes by."
“When this height reaches a certain level, it will automatically form a mutually beneficial and win-win situation with Steinway.”
"I just said that the future classical music market is unpredictable. We make the worst assumption and assume that Mr. Riegel's words come true."
“But after all, Steinway is still the leader in brand influence and market rate in the high-end piano market.”
"So with its protection and your personal abilities, your career will definitely not be low in the future."
After speaking for a long time, Duan Ran let out a long breath.
Finally, he added, "Of course, these are my personal thoughts. I support you whether you go or not."
Qin Jian paused while tapping his left index finger on the steering wheel, "Where did you get all these things?"
Duan Ran raised his face and said proudly: "I never skip classes on elective courses in the department."
Qin Jian nodded, "That's good."
Qin Jian had not thought about Duan Ran's words, but his thoughts were only fragmented pictures.
With tattoos on his hands and the fact that his energy is basically focused on playing, he has always been in a situation that is far away from reality regarding his future career plans.
But from the perspective of an ordinary young pianist, Duan Ran's analysis is undoubtedly comprehensive. Duan Ran is really planning for her future from her perspective.
"What about you?" Qin Jian asked.
"Me?" Duan Ran smiled, "Of course I am your agent. The fees are very reasonable."
These words reminded Qinjian of the scene before entering the final of the Mozart Competition. Among the many reporters and crowds watching Adams' appearance, Duan Ran put on a small hat and squeezed in front of the crowd to clear the way for him.
He couldn't help but laugh: "Are you so sure of my personal abilities?"
Duan Ran said matter-of-factly: "I don't care about others, anyway, in my eyes you are the best."
"Um----"
Qin Jian let out a long sigh, and finally couldn't help but grin, "Okay agent, how about we find a place to stop the car first?"
"Why are you parking the car?" Duan Ran changed positions and crossed his legs again, changing to a more comfortable position and lying on the backrest, "Drive with peace of mind~"
"OK."
With a step on the accelerator, the classic car accelerated again and quickly crossed the seaside road.
...
It was already evening when the two of them returned home with a full load.
Qin Jian really bought a lot of food for tomorrow.
After dinner, Duan Ran went back to the bedroom, and Qin Jian went to the piano room. The two of them practiced the piano for two hours each.
The two of them spent all the time before going to bed preparing food for tomorrow's outing.
Of course, Liao Linjun's help is indispensable here. He does all the knife work.
The three masters and apprentices were busy talking and laughing.
Most of the time, two women were talking, with the other occasionally interjecting.
After the outing, Qin Jian was about to leave. Talking about this summer, he still felt a little reluctant to leave.
"Sister Lin Jun, when do you plan to return to China?" Qin Jian hinted that the other party's wedding was only two months away.
Liao Linjun also understood what Qin Jian meant: "It will probably take about half a month until the debugging of cl803 is completed. After completing the work here, I will go to Warsaw to watch your game, and then return to China."
cl803 is the fortepiano model currently being assembled by the piano workshop. Seventy percent of the entire instrument was designed by Liao Linjun.
"Isn't the time too rushed?" Qin Jian calculated the time. It will only be more than a month until the Chopin Competition ends on November 24th.
Liao Linjun said indifferently: "There is nothing to prepare for a few meals."
Although he said it casually, his tone still made people feel a bit of joy.
The two little ones looked at each other after hearing the words, and with a glance, they both understood Liao Linjun's words.
Qin Jian took over the conversation: "Will the wedding be held in Yanjing, or in Teacher Shen's hometown?"
Liao Linjun folded a pile of prepared sandwiches and put them in the food box, "Let's go to Yanjing."
Qin Jian thought about it in his mind. If he was in Yanjing, he might be able to help. After thinking about it, a brilliant idea came into his mind, which he could do.
With a smile, he also finished what he was doing, "Looking forward to it."
Duan Ran also nodded, "I'm a little nervous."
Liao Linjun looked at Duan Ran with a smile, "I must come then."
"Definitely!!" Duan Ran said happily.
While talking, the three of them had almost finished the remaining preparations. Before leaving, Liao Linjun asked Qin Jian if he had any other arrangements for a while.
"No, what's wrong, Sister Lin Jun?"
Qin Jianzheng replied to Duan Ran's knowing excuse of having a stomachache and went back to the house, "See you tomorrow morning, Teacher Liao. Good night."
Liao Linjun waved his hand and said with a smile: "Good night, have a good rest tonight."
Duan Ran left, and Liao Linjun looked back: "How was the conversation this morning?"
Qin Jian replied: "Fortunately, it was just a brief exchange. Paul mentioned the Steinway Young Performer Program. It seems that Steinway intends to let me join this program."
Liao Lin turned around: "What did you say?"
Qin Jian: "I want to wait until the Chopin Competition is over to see what happens. I talked a lot with Duan Ran on the road today. She thinks this is a good thing in the long run."
