Chapter 128 The Rising Symphony Firm

At this moment, the symphony store was already brightly lit, and just from the outside, one could see the figures of people inside.

At this moment, it is the peak time for parents to pick up and drop off their children. Since it is a holiday, there are more people sending their children to practice piano, which is a bit outrageous.

After He Shen got off the taxi, he couldn't help being stunned for a moment. He didn't expect the scale of the symphony shop to be a bit bigger than he imagined.

Is it possible...

Symphony was acquired?

With a trace of doubt, He Shen walked towards the piano shop.

Standing at the door, Wang Pei had just sent away a mother and son who had come to watch the piano, when he found that He Shen had just gotten off the taxi and was walking towards him. He immediately opened his arms and walked towards He Shen as well.

"Oh, He Shen, you're rich. Now you have money to take a taxi. You really deserve to be a teacher at Jiangzhou Normal University, but it's different."

"The money for teaching assistants is very little."

Seeing that it was Wang Pei, He Shen didn't have any expression of coercion on his face, so he couldn't help but heaved a sigh of relief. He also greeted Wang Pei, hugged him, then looked at the signboard of the symphony room, casually asked.

"How is it? The recent situation, your piano shop, is it okay recently? I think you have a lot more people..."

"What are you talking about recently... recently? Do you mean the last few days? Or, since you won the Golden Piano Award?"

Wang Pei put his arms around He Shen's shoulders, chatted and laughed casually with him, and led him towards his office.

At this moment, there are still many students in the symphony room, most of the empty piano rooms are occupied by students, only a few small classrooms are empty.

From the usage rate of this piano practice, it can be seen that there are a large number of people in the symphony piano shop at this time.

Most of the students have pianos at home, and only a small number of them do not have pianos at home.

Just this extremely rare small group of students, their number is enough to fill the spare piano room in the symphony shop.

In addition, the scale of the symphony shop is particularly large, and there are about 40 piano rooms available for students.

Just a random calculation, then there are at least two to three hundred students in this school.

This is only for piano students, and other students have not yet entered computing.

He Shen followed Wang Pei in the symphony shop, and while listening to Wang Pei's bragging, he looked around himself to see what Wang Pei had made of his piano shop.

In the piano shop, the students practiced the piano in the piano room, but all the teachers in the piano shop did not accompany the students, they sat outside the piano room to practice the piano.

In the hall of the symphony shop, there are four rows of upright pianos, and all the piano teachers are sitting on the piano benches, following the rhythm of the chief teacher at the front, all of them play the same work together.

From a rough look, there are almost 20 teachers. In other words, a teacher here basically leads more than a dozen students.

For this teacher-student ratio, He Shen is a little envious. It would be great if he didn't know Wang Pei.

I don't know Wang Pei well, so I can come to Wang Pei to work here.

After all, if he works for Wang Pei himself, then the relationship between the two may not matter at first, but it will definitely turn sour in the end.

He Shen put this idea out of his mind, and looked at all the teachers sitting in front of the upright piano, they were playing the same work.

The sound of the piano echoed in the entire symphony hall, and the explosion made people's ears hurt.

However, some parents who don't seem to know much about music stand in the aisle looking at the teachers and listening to the roaring music without feeling any pain in their ears.

Wang Pei led He Shen to the depths of the piano room, and said to He Shen.

"Let me tell you about our recent situation. To be honest, our recent situation is really good. Our reputation has been spread. Many people already know our piano shop, so if you want to learn music At that time, the first reaction was to come to our piano store to have a look."

"You have to know that once word of mouth is established, the speed at which we make money will be much, much faster."

"Not only that, in order to protect word-of-mouth and make word-of-mouth flourish, we have also carried out an industrial restructuring plan, removed some unpopular musical instruments, and focused on piano training, violin training, drum training, and guitar training. These four types training."

"At the same time, for the professionalism of all the teachers, we also specially organized what you just saw, the evening training. All the teachers have to follow the head teacher to learn a new work by sight-reading before leaving get off work, and then use the unified speed to play."

"After all, you also know how many people who can come to work in the piano shop are particularly good? Basically, they are very ordinary teachers. Although we will obliterate their ideas about music education, it also guarantees us The bare minimum for the quality of music instruction.”

"Of course, I know you are very good. You also worked in the piano store before. I didn't say what you mean. I said most of them."

"However, after the implementation of the policy of classroom evening training, the feedback from many parents here is much better, saying that they like the teacher's appearance very much..."

While talking, Wang Pei and He Shen arrived at Wang Pei's office.

Wang Pei's office is different from the previous one, and the decoration inside is much newer.

In particular, a very large gramophone was placed in the corner of the room, which attracted all the eyes entering the room.

He Shen was no exception. He looked at the phonograph and asked with a little doubt.

"This gramophone... I don't think it was there last time?"

"Of course, I just bought this phonograph. Didn't you think the audio recording effect was not good before, so I specially bought a CD maker, and then there is a vinyl recorder or something. This is for the parents of those students. It's for their kids to record."

"After all, we are professionals in making parents satisfied and proud!"

Speaking of this place, Wang Pei did not feel stingy about this machine at all, thinking that it would wear something out after using it, but went directly to the bookshelf next to it, flipped through it, and found a record, took it out, and put it on. to the gramophone.

when……

A very familiar music flowed from the phonograph.

Listening to the music, He Shen couldn't help hesitating a bit, pointing to the phonograph, and asked with a little doubt.

"This music..."

"Hey, you feel very familiar, right? But you can't remember? Let me remind you, this is your own music~"

"my music?"

Seeing that He Shen didn't recognize it, Wang Pei immediately smiled, handed the album cover in his hand to He Shen, pointed to the mark written on it with a marker, and said.

"Did you forget? This is the complete collection of your Chopin ballades. I re-burned all of your Chopin ballades, but because of data-to-audio, audio-to-physics, and physics-to-audio, the sound effect is not particularly good. , you just listen to it."

"If you still want to record vinyl records, we have a dedicated vinyl record recorder here now, and the effect will be better in the future."

He Shen looked at the album cover in his hand, looked at Wang Pei, smiled and nodded, thanking him.

"Thank you"

"You're welcome, I also want to thank you, thanks to you, our school is so great."

Wang Pei was a little embarrassed to say this, and he explained to He Shen helplessly.

"The previous time, didn't you tell me that you were the teacher of our piano shop, and then that person seemed to be real, uh...how should I put it..."

After struggling for a moment, Wang Pei hesitated.

"He... seems to really take that matter seriously. In fact, it would be fine if he just took it seriously, but the problem is..."

"He even went out to promote..."

"Propaganda, saying that his son is learning piano from our Huaguo Golden Piano Award winner, saying that our symphony piano shop is very good, and that the Golden Piano Award winners are all from our school..."

"Then, it became obvious that our reputation exploded. No matter how I told others that you have now become a teacher at Jiangzhou Normal University, they still regarded you as our student and tried to ask me, what do you need for a class?" How much……"

When He Shen heard this, he obviously didn't expect that things would develop like this, but it didn't matter, since Wang Pei asked him for help before, then he would just help, and it would be better if he could help like this.

So, He Shen asked casually.

"So, how much did you say?"

"How dare I say it? After I said it, I really went to the school to find you and let you come to class?"

Wang Pei smiled wryly, sat next to He Shen, groped for a while with his right hand, took out a lollipop, handed it to He Shen, and said casually.

"However, if you really want to take classes, I have resources here. You can take those students who want to take college or art exams. The price is about 400, right? It should be the market price. Do you want to do it? ?”

"An art test student."

He Shen took the lollipop, carefully tore off the outer paper, put the lollipop in his mouth, thought for a while, but shook his head and refused.

"Forget it, the students in the teaching and art test are too tired. There is still a student on my side who hasn't graduated yet. Let's talk about it after she graduates."

"Zhao Zitong? You haven't lost her yet?"

"Abandon her? Why?" He Shen ate the lollipop and asked in great doubt, completely ignoring Wang Pei's thoughts.

"It's nothing. I just listened to what you said before. It seems that she is annoying and not very easy to get along with."

Wang Pei shook his head, got up and went to the back of the desk, fiddled and tinkered, brought out two very large lollipop jars, put them on the desk, pointed to the lollipop jars and said.

"No, no matter what, I got you the two cans of lollipops that I promised you last time. I owe you this time. Because of your incident, our school has developed too fast. I can't think of it." This is how I compensate you..."

"If this piano store was mine, I would give you shares directly. Unfortunately, this piano store is not mine. I am just the store manager and have the greatest control over the store. The shares can only be distributed as dividends, purely for workers."

"If I give you the money directly... I can't follow the accounts of those holding companies. Although they say that they don't care how I use the money in the piano store's account except for the annual revenue, but...they will check the accounts. If the amount is wrong, I might be a little annoyed."

"Of course, if you must, I can give it to you! After all, you have helped me so much."

Wang Pei said very seriously, He Shen looked into his eyes, looked at his sincere gaze, and immediately waved his hands, indifferent.

"It's okay, for me, as long as the money is enough."

"So...do you need anything? If I can help you..."

Wang Pei immediately added that He Shen didn't expect Wang Pei to be so serious at all, so he couldn't help but think carefully and asked tentatively.

"How about...you get me a Steinway upright? I want the biggest one, the D274"

"...Why don't I give you the money? Isn't it just making false accounts? At worst, I will leave with you."

Wang Pei poked He Shen angrily, sat down on the sofa again, and asked He Shen seriously.

"Seriously, is there anything you need? Best I can do."

"I still have hundreds of thousands of free cash flow at my disposal now, because there are quite a lot of students and parents who have signed up for classes recently, so there are only so many."

"These money can only be used in the piano store for the overall improvement of the piano store. There can be a little turnover in these improvements, for example, the kind that can buy dozens of pieces, so that I can operate a little bit."

"How? Any ideas?"

He Shen touched his chin, but didn't answer right away.

Since Wang Pei said that he must compensate him, then...

He Shen thought for a while, and said.

"I need some books in Urtext editions, works by Chopin, it would be even better if they were in Polish editions."

"Row!"

Without any hesitation, Wang Pei nodded in agreement.

"No problem, you can make a list of what you want later, and I will buy it for you later in the name of the piano store."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome."

Both of them smiled at the same time, and neither continued to discuss this issue.

If the discussion continues, it is basically difficult to discuss a specific result, such as how much reputation fee Wang Pei needs to pay He Shen for the development of the piano shop, and what obligations He Shen needs to be responsible for and so on.

If the two of them really discussed this way, they would talk about each other, whether they were brothers or friends, there would always be a little bit of disagreement.

Therefore, both of them have a deep tacit understanding and will not get involved in money.

After all, Wang Pei's attitude is also very good. As long as He Shen needs it, he will make up for it as much as possible without any shirking.

It is precisely because Wang Pei is like this that he never wants to owe others too much, so after graduation, the only person He Shen still has contact with is Wang Pei.

After the two continued to chat casually about the previous Golden Piano Award for a while, Wang Pei suddenly spoke.

"By the way, I almost forgot to ask you, what are you here for today? It can't be that you came here specifically to catch up with me, right?"

"Of course not." He Shen shook his head: "I came here to record, who knew that you took me directly to your office, and I haven't had time to say it yet."

"Hey, you said it earlier, you said it earlier, I will take you down."

Wang Pei got up, pushed open the door, and led He Shen to the direction of the recording studio, asking questions as he walked.

"Do you have any new works? I remember that if you don't have new works, you usually don't want to come to my place, and practice at home alone."

He Shen followed behind Wang Pei, nodded and said.

"Well, with a new work, you need to practice, and then listen to the recording to feel this work as a whole."

"Okay, you talk a lot, you are awesome."

Wang Pei pushed open the door of the recording studio, and when he was about to go down, he suddenly thought of something, threw the key in his hand to He Shen, and said with a smile.

"Oh, by the way, since you often need to use our recording studio, I'll give you this key. If I'm not around when you come later, you can come in and record directly, regardless of other people."

After all, without waiting for He Shen to refuse, he walked directly downstairs.

He Shen looked at the key in his hand, was stunned for a moment, didn't say anything, and walked down the basement in the same way.

Wang Pei, who came down first, was already standing in front of the console, and started all the items in the recording studio. Countless lights were on, and the people watching were confused.

Seeing that He Shen had come down, Wang Pei immediately waved his hand towards the recording area.

"Come on, my pianist He, your stage is set up, and we are waiting for your performance."

"Thank you..."

"Thank you for what? The key? Hey, it's okay, you can just help me advertise later."

He Shen glanced at Wang Pei, nodded, seemed to remember his joke, stretched out his hand and pushed open two extremely heavy soundproof doors, and walked into the recording room.

All life outside the recording room was isolated, and around He Shen, only the purest sound of breathing remained, his own breathing.

Except for this voice, all other voices disappeared.

Obviously, this recording room was remodeled by Wang Pei to strengthen the sound reception of the surrounding walls.

He Shen sat on the piano bench in the recording room, put his hands on the keyboard, stroked the warm keys on it, and let his emotions brew for a while.

An incomparably huge war horse, backed by a powerful motherland.

Don't be afraid of everything.

Unleash your love for your country!

When he was in class with Chopin before, everything flashed into his mind instantly. He Shen looked at the piano keyboard in front of him, took a deep breath, and then let it out slowly.

Let your emotions become more elevated, and let yourself be able to interpret this work more perfectly.

When his emotions reached the peak, as if the water was about to overflow, He Shen looked at Wang Pei behind the double-layer soundproof glass panel, and nodded.

Hand, lift up, smash down.

boom!
The sound of the piano is roaring!An extremely perfect feeling burst out from the resonance cavity of the piano.

This unrestrained emotion filled the entire recording studio in an instant.

Wang Pei's eyes widened instantly.

This, this voice!

He Shen's progress surprised him...

　Because the mobile phone could not receive the verification code, there was no way to log into the background, and it was hard to get on...

　　Sorry for the late update.
