The world's number one pianist

After the agent came out of the house, he looked at the transfer record in his hand and stood there for a long time, completely unresponsive.

Before he sold his house, he struggled with the tenants for a long time, but he might not be able to get those people to rent a house.

Maybe we would talk about it first and then take a look, but the next day we got along with other agents and rented a house introduced by other agents.

The result is now...

He actually only looked at the attic with He Shen, and He Shen agreed to rent it?

They didn't even look at the water pipes, wires, overall structure, or whether they were damaged or anything like that.

Did you sign the contract so easily?

The only feeling the agent feels now is that sentence.

I couldn't understand it, but I was shocked!

There will never be more than three people like He Shen who pay directly and transfer the key to move in during their career as an agency!

The agent who brought He Shen to this house dared to guarantee it with his five years of agency career!

But anyway, he rented out the house. Since the house was rented out, his mission was completed.

Thinking of this, the agent looked at the transfer records and agency fees in his hand, the smile on his face became overflowing, and he returned to his company with great joy.

Once the money arrives, the matter is almost over. If there are any subsequent problems, He Shen can worry about it himself.

At this moment, He Shen was sitting on the floor of the attic, really worried.

He looked at everything in front of him and fell into thinking.

The floor in the attic was hot, not because the heater was on, but because there was so much sunlight up there.

The sunlight shines into the house through the window of the car. If it is winter, it may be very warm.

But now that it's summer, this place feels a little bit uncomfortable.

It's like being in a greenhouse.

The air conditioner on the side is turned on very much, which makes the attic feel a little bit alternating between hot and cold.

This feeling is very strange.

It would definitely not be good if the piano was put in later!

He Shen sat in the middle of the attic and looked at the empty attic around him. He couldn't help but touch his chin and thought deeply.

First of all, there is no doubt that this place definitely needs to be renovated. Every detail needs to be replenished and then modified.

After all, this place will be used as my own studio later.

Although such strong sunlight is good, it cannot be exposed to it all the time. It is not good for the piano.

Therefore, you need to add an electric curtain on the window side.

Or called... electric iron blinds?

When needed, these two large windows can be completely covered so that the entire room does not look like a heater.

In addition, a constant temperature and humidity need to be ensured in this room.

The temperature is not bad, just turn on the air conditioner.

But as for humidity...

He Shen stood up and looked around, made some gestures, and after a quick analysis in his mind, he finally gave up on designing by himself.

According to his idea, if you just want to ensure constant humidity, you need several humidifiers and several dehumidifiers.

But how much humidification and dehumidification is required in this room to ensure that this piano is always at a constant temperature.

He Shen is really not clear about this.

I don't even know where it is placed.

He Shen has a great advantage, that is, he has self-awareness.

When he didn't know the method for something at all, He Shen decisively chose to give up.

Without any hesitation, He Shen picked up the phone and dialed Wang Pei's number directly.

It was my college roommate who worked as a store manager at a symphony music store.

It was also my first audio recording before, and it was recorded at his place.

He Shen called the phone, and after waiting for about eight bars of "To Alice" on the phone, Wang Pei's voice rang from the other end of the phone.

There was a lot of noise on the other end of the phone, a pile of wood being sawed, and the sound of an electric drill.

Wang Pei held his cell phone and spoke to He Shen in an almost yelling manner.

"He Shen? He Shen, wait a minute! I'm outside now, please wait while I find a quiet place and wait a moment!"

He Shen sat there with his cell phone. After about a minute, Wang Peicai walked to a quiet corner as if he was out of breath.

Wang Pei on the other end of the phone took a few deep breaths and said in his slightly smiling voice.

"Hey, why does our famous pianist in the world have time to find me, the owner of a small music store, today? Why? He wants to record again?"

"I won't record anymore, I want to buy a piano!"

He Shen said to Wang Pei as expected: "What resources do you have over there?"

Wang Pei couldn't help but be stunned when he heard He Shen's words, and repeated them hesitantly.

"Resources? What resources? Didn't you have a Yamaha SK-II before? Isn't that one piano not enough for you? Is your basement enough for other pianos?"

"Before I went abroad, I didn't pay for the piano. After all, it would wear out easily if it wasn't used for a long time, so I just had it recycled directly."

He Shen said calmly: "So this time I want to buy a few pianos."

"Buy a piano, and buy several pianos?" Wang Pei was even more confused when he heard this. He thought about it and asked hesitantly, "Have you moved?"

"Yes." He Shen nodded: "Moved to a community near the school, about a quarter of an hour by bus."

"Is that so..." Wang Pei thought about it and said, "Okay! Send me the address first, I will come to help you check it out later. After all, if you want to get a piano in your place, it is really not a particularly simple thing. There are many things to pay attention to..."

After that, he gave He Shen a few instructions and hung up the phone directly.

It seems that something happened in the place behind him full of chainsaw sounds.

He Shen didn't ask much, just sent the address where he lived now to Wang Pei, got up and walked downstairs.

Although there are everything in this room, it is not particularly complete.

For example, there is a bed in the bedroom, but there is no three-piece bedding.

There is a washbasin and toilet bathtub in the bathroom, but there is no toothbrush, cup or towel.

There is a stove in the kitchen, but no pots, pans, or sauces.

There are bookshelves in the study, but no books.

So the whole house looks empty.

But...

He Shen walked into the study, looked at the study in front of him, and wondered if he could put a small upright piano or electronic keyboard in this place?

According to He Shen's idea, he planned to put his own music scores in this study.

But those scores were placed in this place, but there was no instrument to play, and he always felt that something was missing.

If a few pianos were placed in this place, it would feel much more comfortable!

He Shen wandered around in his little nest, thinking about how he should decorate his little nest in the future.

As a result, He Shen looked at this room and felt more and more wrong.

He felt that he could put two small triangles in the living room and use them for small concerts later.

Everyone sat on the sofa and watched others play the piano in the living room. It would be best if they could have a double piano ensemble.

How comfortable it would be!

Then could a small upright piano be placed next to the dining room?

If I have a chance to have dinner with friends later, I can just go to the upright piano on the side and play some music when I talk about something related to music.

This way, I don’t have to go to the two big grand pianos in the living room.

Since there are grand pianos in the living room and dining room, should I put one in the bedroom as well?

I can touch the piano immediately when I get up in the morning.

I have one in the bedroom, so the bathroom...

Okay, the bathroom can’t have one.

Although the bathroom is separated into dry and wet areas, the humidity inside can easily damage some of the equipment in the piano.

It would be bad if it breaks down.

He Shen looked in the direction of the bathroom and looked away with difficulty.

This thing should not be too much according to your own ideas.

If you really follow your own ideas.

Let’s not talk about whether the money is enough...

This small house can definitely be regarded as a small piano museum at the very least!

Just a casual estimate, He Shen feels that this house needs at least five to six grand pianos and seven or eight upright pianos.

Let’s not talk about whether it can fit, the price is already very scary!

Therefore, dreams are always beautiful, but reality is always harsh.

I used to think that the one million yuan I had might be a lot.

But after careful calculation, I couldn't actually buy too many things.

Even the down payment for Haicheng might be difficult.

Even the down payment for Ningcheng where I am now might not be affordable.

He Shen just looked at his little house helplessly, and then walked to the corner of the sofa and sat there quietly.

Gu Ba

Thinking about the music, waiting for Wang Pei to come.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the doorbell rang.

He Shen got up and opened the door, and Wang Pei stood at the door with sweat all over his head.

He Shen looked at Wang Pei in front of him, and for a moment he was not sure that the man in front of him was Wang Pei.

Four years have passed, and the man four years ago was just a little fatter than himself, and even a very strong man before, now...

Looking at it, he is almost twice his size?

Not as strong as twice himself!

But...

Fat!

Wang Pei looked at He Shen's hesitant expression, wiped the sweat from his head, and said self-deprecatingly.

"How is it? I haven't seen you for four years, you can't recognize me?"

"It's okay, I can recognize you..." He Shen looked at Wang Pei, looked him up and down, whether he should ask Wang Pei why he has gained so much weight recently.

I always feel that asking this question may hurt others' self-esteem.

As a result, Wang Pei looked at He Shen's eyes, immediately understood He Shen's thoughts, waved his hand indifferently, and smiled.

"Hey, don't you just want to ask me why I'm so fat? The reason is very simple"

"Four or five years ago, I was already the store manager, and the whole store was under my control, so I also needed to go to various places for business negotiations, such as applying for the sale of certain brands of pianos, not only that, but also some other things..."

"With more things, I need to spend more time, and then I spend most of my time on this, so I don't have much time to exercise."

"Every day I just sit, and naturally I start to gain weight and gain weight!"

"Although I have made a lot of money over the years, I feel that I have completely deviated from the music industry..."

"Even though I'm still working in a music store, most of my job is no longer teaching, but sales and management!"

"No way, I'm not the big boss of the Symphony Music Store, I'm just a senior salesperson in this music store or something like that!"

"Hmm...a salesperson with shares?"

Speaking of this place, Wang Pei couldn't help but smile a little helplessly.

He pointed at the small house He Shen rented and asked curiously.

"Why, don't you invite me to come in and take a look?"

"Okay, come in, no need to change shoes."

He Shen took two steps back and walked in with Wang Pei.

Wang Pei looked at the scene in the room and couldn't help but nodded, thoughtfully.

"Not bad. This house has everything it should have. Even the lighting is very good. Do you want to transform this into your studio?"

"No, the studio is in the attic above, and I live down below."

He Shen pointed to the roof and walked up with Wang Pei.

Wang Pei stood at the door of the attic, waving his fingers on the other side of the door with a strange look on his face.

The cold air and hot air inside the roof are constantly colliding. It always feels cool and warm inside, which is a slightly strange feeling.

After Wang Pei fumbled with his fingers, he wiped the sweat from his forehead and looked around.

He looked at everything around him, and after a little estimation, he slowly spoke.

"This place is very good. I see that your small balcony can also be used to transport the piano in with a crane. This is not bad. After all, there is no elevator here. Those piano moving companies don't have to move a piano that weighs hundreds of kilograms." The piano is running up and down."

"It's just that the heat may be a problem. You need to add a cover to the upper window later to control the entry of sunlight and prevent the sunlight from being too hot."

"In addition to this, you probably need a humidifier, a dehumidifier, a thermostat and a lot of other things."

"Well, I probably need an air purifier too."

"Others..."

Wang Pei pointed there, walked around the small room, suddenly turned to He Shen, and asked He Shen.

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask, how much money do you have now? How many pianos do you plan to buy? Don't have enough money by then."

When He Shen heard Wang Pei's words, he immediately made a rough estimate and said hesitantly.

"With all the cash I have, I have just paid four months' rent, and I still have about 900,000 yuan left, which looks like nearly one million..."

"As for the pianos to buy, my personal idea is to buy a recording grand piano, an orthodox grand piano, two upright pianos, and a simulated electronic keyboard..."

"If possible, I would actually like to get a harpsichord or harpsichord or something like that so that I can record Bach's works if I have the opportunity in the future."

"Other words..."

As He Shen spoke, Wang Pei's expression became more and more strange.

Just when He Shen was about to continue speaking, Wang Pei suddenly raised his hand in front of He Shen and stopped him.

"Brother, stop! Wake up, wake up, the money you have is one million, not ten million! Stop talking, I feel like you are about to turn your home into a piano museum!"

After saying that, Wang Pei stepped on the ground quickly, looked up at the top of his head, touched his chin, thought for a moment, and then said.

"It's only one million. Except that the harpsichord may be a little harder, the rest is not particularly difficult!"

"A hybrid electronic recording grand piano that can be used for recording. I personally recommend the Yamaha DC3X-ENPRO. This basic model costs about 450,000 yuan."

"This is a piano that can be played silently and can be recorded directly. I personally like it very much and I highly recommend you buy it!"

"The upright pianos you need later are actually very cheap. If you want them, you can definitely get them from us. I will give you the purchase price, and I will definitely not treat you badly! After all, we both know each other well. Years later, I can’t trick you even if I trick other parents!”

"If you're not very particular about quality, I'll get you two Zhujiangs with a combined purchase price of about 10,000 yuan as a gift for your Yamaha."

"If you pursue the quality of an upright piano, my personal suggestion is to buy some upright pianos that are also made from Yamaha. About 20,000 yuan is enough. It doesn't need to be too luxurious. Two of them are about 50,000 yuan."

"In other words, for about half a million, you can get two upright pianos and one recording electronic grand piano."

"If you want an electronic keyboard, Yamaha's electronic keyboard is still my main recommendation, or you can also choose Roland."

"Both of these two electronic pianos are trying to move towards the feel of a real piano. I personally think these two pianos are electronic pianos that feel particularly good."

"If you just play it casually, there's nothing wrong with it!"

"The price is about 150,000, so you can basically get the top configuration! If you don't need the top configuration, there are also ones worth tens of thousands!"

"Finally, the orthodox grand piano you want..."

When talking about this place, Wang Pei was obviously hesitant.

He looked at He Shen and then at the surrounding environment. After thinking for a while, he slowly shook his head.

“I personally suggest that you don’t buy a branded grand piano for your orthodox grand piano, because if you want to buy a branded grand piano, it’s basically just like that!”

“Our store has previously obtained the authorization from Steinway and can sell some Steinway triangles and some upright pianos owned by Steinway.”

"The prices of these pianos are very scary. Let me tell you, the cheapest one, a Steinway upright, costs about 900,000 yuan!"

"Japanese pianos like Yamaha are cheaper. The Kawaii SK-II you rented before cost almost 200,000 yuan."

"The price is too expensive! And they are all assembly-line triangles, which are very worthless! So I personally do not recommend you to buy this kind of piano!"

"Since you need an orthodox grand piano, my personal idea is..."

"I suggest you go to a studio and ask, a studio that specializes in making pianos!"

"Woof woof!"

Wang Pei looked at He Shen and barked twice very seriously.

The two looked at each other, and He Shen didn't understand why Wang Pei suddenly barked at him.

He Shen looked at Wang Pei and said hesitantly: "Woof... woof?"

Wang Pei didn't see He Shen's hesitation. He nodded vigorously and said: "Yes, woof woof! The man who made the piano is called Wang Yi, so the piano he made is called wang, one. Wang is wang, and one is one in English. , the two together are called Wangwang Studio!”

"..."

Although he wanted to complain about this name, He Shen didn't know where to start.

Therefore, He Shen could only follow Wang Pei's words and ask casually.

"Why do you recommend this, uh... Wangwang Studio?"

"It's very simple, because it's cheap and durable... ahem, durable!" Wang Pei took back his words that might lead to a 404, and continued to He Shen.

"Wang Wang Studio makes pianos by hand and does renovation business!"

“They recycle and renovate all the old pianos, and they can restore some old pianos to their original condition!”

"The overall reputation is quite good in all parts of China. It seems that Lang Liangyue's junior sister, Wang Jia, also purchased a piano from that place. The quality of their pianos is very good!"

"If you agree, we will go to this studio called Wangwang later and choose a suitable piano."

"If you want a Steinway, our brand new Steinway originally costs more than 900,000 yuan. At this place, I remember you can buy a refurbished Steinway for more than 200,000 yuan."

“Their renovation skills are very good!”

"But if you don't want to buy those refurbished pianos, they also have their own Wangwang pianos."

“According to my personal feel, I feel it is on par with those top-level pianos!”

“Their style is a bit similar to that of Steinway, with the tone tending to be soft and overall mediocre.”

"The cheapest piano has the same feel as the cheapest Steinway, but the price is missing a lot!"

"Of course, this is my touch. You also know that I haven't played the piano for a long time, so my touch doesn't count. It depends on you."

"After all, you have to know that this kind of small workshop can be called the king of cost performance. If you don't have enough money, this kind of small piano workshop is definitely the best choice!"

"Therefore, this is the main reason why I recommend them!"

"How about it? Do you want to try it?"

Wang Pei looked at He Shen, waiting for He Shen's answer.

He Shen looked at the bank card in his hand, hesitated for a moment, and nodded slowly.

"OK!"
