The world's number one pianist

Chapter 2: Learning music cannot make a living

Question, what should I do if I have no money to pay rent and have to live on the street?

Gold Medal Answer: I don’t know. ReadМ

He Shen pursed his lips and immediately wanted to eat a lollipop to calm down. He reached into his pocket and realized that he had just come out in a hurry and only brought his card. He couldn't help but sigh and put his phone away. He took it out of his pocket and made a call without any hesitation.

Toot…

The phone only rang twice and was immediately connected. Before He Shen could speak, a slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone and asked directly.

"You were fired again?"

"..."

"You came to me again and asked me to help you find out if there are any new music shops recruiting people?"

"..."

"Tsk tsk..."

Before He Shen could speak, the person on the other end of the phone had already guessed He Shen's purpose. He couldn't help but clicked his tongue twice and complained helplessly.

"No, I mean, brother, don't you really know that teaching piano in an outside piano store is not just about teaching students, but also about marketing? You need to know how to market! How can there be a teacher who only teaches piano to students? You need to learn how to communicate with parents Only by being friends can we stay together for a long time..."

He Shen pursed his lips and said nothing. He waited until the other person finished complaining before asking.

"Is there any music store that accepts teachers these days?"

"Did you listen to me?" The other person almost laughed angrily.

"I need a job now, please."

"Okay, okay, don't even think about the music store. Your reputation in ordinary music stores is already bad. Many music stores regard you as a cancer. Even if you go, they are unlikely to recruit you. But, you have a sparring tutor." Not interested?"

"Sparring tutor?"

He Shen tugged at the phone, completely unexpected that the person on the other end of the phone would actually give him such an option, tutor?

Rather than going to a piano store to take lessons, most people would rather go to a home to practice or take lessons.

I would like it to be simple, more money, and less troublesome.

If you teach in a music store, a lesson lasts 45 minutes, and the price is generally around 80-120, which sounds like a lot. However, because the students belong to the music store, the music store needs to deduct half of the fee. In other words, if you pay 45 in a music store, Minutes, the actual money you can get is only 40-60.

This is still a larger music store. If it is a small music store, it will be even more pitiful.

Take the only music store where He Shen resigned before. One lesson costs 40-60, and each lesson lasts an hour. If you purchase 50 lessons at a time, you will get a 40% discount.

The music store told him that this was just a temporary price, and soon the store would increase the price to 80-120. His salary next month would naturally increase.

Then, next month, he suddenly discovered that his salary was not high, but had dropped a lot. He went to the finance department to ask, and after carefully checking the class schedule, he suddenly discovered.

There are ten students in total, and each of them has purchased more than 50 classes. The actual salary he can get per hour is only 12 yuan an hour. If calculated based on one class per week for a year, , his extremely low salary must be maintained until this time next year at least.

It's 120 yuan a day. Basically, you can only get this price on weekends. You can only get the minimum amount of subsistence allowance if you work on a regular basis, which is more than 3,000 yuan a month.

But the tutor is different. In addition to having to come to the door in person, he can get all the money.

Generally speaking, the tuition fee for tutoring fluctuates between 100 and 200. Although it is not much higher than the price at the piano store, the more than 100 yuan is paid directly to you, and there is no middleman to make the difference!

Even as a sparring partner, you can earn nearly 100 an hour.

Therefore, He Shen spoke directly without any hesitation.

"Okay, when does class start?"

"Soon, I sent your message to that person, and she should contact you soon."

At this point, the person on the other end of the phone suddenly paused and continued.

"But let me remind you, that man's husband is the deputy dean of the School of Music at Jiangzhou University of the Arts."

"Vice Dean?" He Shen was stunned for a moment.

"I don't know the specific situation. She came to me at that time and wanted to see if there was any piano teacher I could recommend to her. Her requirements were very high. She looked down on ordinary teachers. Good teachers don’t have enough time, let alone those who specialize in marketing.”

"So, since you called and asked, I'll give it to her to give it a try. Whether you can succeed or not depends on you. Let me remind you first, her requirements are very, very high."

"I have just sent her your phone number. According to her personality, she will probably call in a while."

"Okay, let's talk later when we have time. Speaking of which, it seems like we haven't gotten together in a dormitory for a long time."

"Thank you..." Before the words could be finished, the phone was hung up in a hurry. He Shen listened to the busy signal and waited for a moment before whispering: "Thank you..."

However, at the next moment, a text message was sent to He Shen's mobile phone. Before He Shen could read the text message clearly, a phone number with a lot of 6's came in.

If he guessed correctly, this should be the person introduced to him by his roommate.

He Shen didn't hesitate and immediately answered the phone, and a slightly tired female voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Hello? Teacher He? I heard Teacher Wang from Symphony Piano School introduce you. He said that you are very good at teaching piano. Well, the time is about the same now. Can you give a trial lesson today? I have sent the address to your mobile phone. I will be available in an hour. Can we meet in an hour?"

"Sure." He Shen glanced at the time and agreed.

"Very good, see you in an hour."

After saying that, the phone was hung up without waiting for He Shen's response.

It seems that he doesn't have much idea about taking the class? Just a normal try?

He Shen shook his head and didn't care about this situation. He opened the text message and took a look.

206, Building 3, Binshui Community? I have heard that it is an old community in the city center, not far from here, and it can be reached in about 20 minutes on foot.

He Shen quickly returned home, put on the performance clothes he wore when he was on stage in college, hesitated for a moment, took three of the remaining nine lollipops that had not been opened, put them in his trouser pocket, and found a few almost rotten textbooks from the pile of music scores, and quickly walked towards the waterfront community.

He stood at the door and waited for a while. Five minutes before the agreed time, He Shen reached out and knocked on the door, and a beautiful lady walked out from behind the door.

She glanced at He Shen up and down, shook her head slightly, and suddenly seemed to realize that her behavior just now was inappropriate. She forced a smile and spoke to He Shen.

"Are you Mr. He introduced by Mr. Wang from the Symphony Piano Shop?"
