world number one pianist

Chapter 281 Piano Museum?
After the intermediary came out of the room, looking at the transfer records in his hand, he froze for a long time, completely unresponsive.

Before he sold the house, he spent a long time with those tenants who rented the house, but he might not be able to let those people rent a house.

Maybe I talked about it first and then looked at it, but it turned out that I got in touch with other intermediaries the next day and went to rent a house introduced by other intermediaries.

The result is now...

He only took a look at the attic with He Shen, and He Shen agreed to rent the house?

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

Just signed the contract so easily?

The only feeling the intermediary has now is that sentence.

I couldn't read it, but I was blown away!
There will never be more than three people like He Shen who directly pay and transfer the key to live in in the intermediary career!
The agent who brought He Shen to this house dared to guarantee it with his five-year career as an agent!
But anyway, he rented out the house, and since the house was rented out, his mission was completed.

Thinking of this, the intermediary looked at the transfer record and the intermediary fee in his hand, with a smile on his face, and returned to his company with great joy.

Once the money arrives in the account, the matter is almost over. If there are any problems in the follow-up, He Shen can worry about it.

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 thought.

The attic floor was hot, not because the heater was on, but because the sun was shining brightly above it.

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 uncomfortable.

Just like being in a greenhouse.

And the air conditioner on the side is fully turned on, which makes the attic feel a little bit alternately hot and cold.

This feeling is very strange.

If you put the piano in afterwards, it's not good!
Sitting in the middle of the attic, He Shen looked at the empty attics around him, touched his chin involuntarily, and thought deeply.

First of all, there is no doubt that this place definitely needs to be remodeled, and the details of various places need to be supplemented, and then revised and corrected.

After all, this place is for my own studio.

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

Therefore, I need to add an electric curtain to the window.

Or is it called... electric iron shutters?

When necessary, these two large windows can be completely covered, so as not to make the whole room look like a fireplace.

In addition, in this room, it is necessary to ensure a constant temperature and humidity.

The temperature is okay, just turn on the air conditioner.

But the humidity...

He Shen got up and looked around, gestured around, 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, then you need several humidifiers and several dehumidifiers.

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

He Shen is really not sure.

Don't even know where to put it.

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

When he didn't know how to do something, He Shen resolutely chose to give up.

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

It's my college roommate, the one who works as the manager of the symphony shop.

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 lot of sawing wood, and the sound of electric drills.

While holding the phone, Wang Pei said to He Shen in a way that almost roared.

"He Shen? He Shen, wait a minute! I'm outside now, wait for me to find a quiet place, wait a moment!"

He Shen sat on the spot with his mobile phone, and after about a minute, Wang Peicai walked to a relatively quiet corner as if out of breath.

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

"Yo, our famous world's number one pianist, why do you have time to find me, the owner of a small piano shop today? What? Do you want to record again?"

"No more recordings, I want to buy a piano!"

He Shen said to Wang Pei as it should be: "Do you have any resources over there?"

Wang Pei couldn't help being stunned when he heard He Shen's words, and repeated it hesitantly.

"Resources? What resources? Didn't you have a Yamaha SK-II before? Is 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 is easy to wear and tear if it is not used for a long time, so I let people take it back directly."

He Shen said lightly: "So this time I want to buy some pianos."

"Buy a piano, how many more pianos do you want to buy?" Wang Pei was even more stupid when he heard this place. He thought for a while and asked hesitantly, "Did you move?"

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

"That's it..." Wang Pei thought for a while, and said, "Okay! You can send me the address first, and I will come over to help you take a look later. After all, if you want to build a piano in this place, it is really It's not a particularly simple matter, there are many things to pay attention to..."

After all, he told He Shen a few words, and then hung up the phone directly.

It seemed that there was something wrong in the place behind him filled with the sound of chainsaws.

He Shen didn't ask any more questions, but just sent Wang Pei the address where he lived now, got up and went downstairs.

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

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

There is a washbasin and a toilet tub in the bathroom, but there are no toothbrushes, cups, and bath towels.

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

There are bookshelves in the study, but no books.

So the whole house looks empty.

but……

He Shen walked into the study room, looked at the study room in front of him, and wondered if it would be possible to put a small upright piano or electronic organ in this place?

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

But those scores are placed here, but there is no musical instrument that can be played, and it always feels like something is missing.

If you put a few pianos in this place, you will feel much more comfortable!
While wandering around in his little nest, He Shen was thinking about how he should decorate his little nest in the future.

As a result, He Shen looked at this room, and the more he looked at it, the more he felt something was wrong.

He wondered if two small triangles could also be placed in the living room for use in small concerts later on.

Everyone sits on the sofa and watches other people play the piano in the living room, and it is best to have a two-piano ensemble.

So comfortable!
Then is it possible to put a small stand on the side of the restaurant?
If there is a chance to have dinner with friends later, you can just walk to the side of the stand and play casually while talking about something about music.

In this way, there is no need to go to the two large triangles in the living room.

Now that the living room and dining room are available, should we also put one in the bedroom?
When you wake up in the morning, you can touch the piano immediately.

The bedrooms are all there, so the toilet...

Well, there can't be toilets.

Although there is dry and wet separation in the toilet, the humidity inside will easily damage some equipment in the piano.

It will be bad if the bomb is broken by then.

He Shen looked in the direction of the toilet, and struggled to look away.

This thing still can't be too according to my own ideas.

If you really follow your own ideas.

Not to mention whether the money is enough...

This small house is absolutely at the very least, it can be regarded as a small piano museum!

Just a random estimate, He Shen feels that at least five to six grand pianos and seven or eight upright pianos are needed in this room.

Leaving aside whether to let it go or not, the price is already very scary!

Therefore, dreams are always beautiful, and reality is always skinny.

I used to think that a million dollars on me might be a lot.

But if you calculate carefully, you can't actually buy too many things.

Even Haicheng's down payment may be enough.

As far as the Ningcheng where I am now, I may not be able to afford the down payment.

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

Thinking about music, waiting for Wang Pei's arrival.

After waiting for about ten minutes, the doorbell rang.

He Shen got up to open the door, and Wang Pei stood at the door sweating profusely.

He Shen looked at Wang Pei in front of him, and couldn't be sure for a moment that the person in front of him was Wang Pei.

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

By visual inspection, it is already almost the size of two of you?

They are not as strong as two of us!

But...

fat!
Wang Pei looked at He Shen's hesitant expression, and while wiping the sweat from his brow, he laughed at himself.

"How? Haven't seen you for four years, don't you recognize me?"

"It's okay, I can recognize..." 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 like asking this may hurt other people's self-esteem.

As a result, Wang Pei looked into He Shen's eyes, immediately understood He Shen's thoughts, waved his hand indifferently, and said with a smile.

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

"Four or five years ago, I was already the manager of the store. I was in charge of the whole store, so I had to go to various places for business negotiations, such as applying for the sale of certain brands of pianos. Not only that, And some other things..."

"There are too many things to do, so much thought is required, and then I spend most of my time on this, so I don't have much time to exercise."

"Sitting every day, I will naturally start to gain weight and gain weight!"

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

"Even though I'm still in the piano shop, most of my work is no longer teaching, but sales and management!"

"I can't help it, I'm not the big boss of the symphony shop, I'm just a senior salesperson in this piano shop!"

"Hmm... a salesperson with shares?"

Speaking of this place, Wang Pei couldn't help laughing helplessly.

He pointed to the newly rented hut by He Shen and asked curiously.

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

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

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

Looking at the appearance in the room, Wang Pei couldn't help but nodded, thoughtfully.

"Not bad, this house has everything it should have, even the lighting is very good, you want to transform this into your studio?"

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

He Shen pointed to the roof and led Wang Pei up.

Wang Pei stood at the door of the attic, shaking his fingers over the door, with a strange expression on his face.

The cold air and hot air in the roof are constantly colliding, and it always feels cool and warm inside, which is a little strange.

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 opened his mouth and said.

"This place is very good. I see that your small balcony can just use a crane to bring the piano in. This is not bad. After all, you don't have an elevator here, and those piano moving companies don't have to move a piano that weighs a few hundred kilograms." Qin ran up and down."

"It's just that the heat may be a problem. You need to add a cover to the upper window to control the entry of sunlight, and don't let the sunlight be too hot."

"In addition to that, there's probably a whole bunch of things like humidifiers, dehumidifiers, thermostats."

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

"others……"

Wang Pei pointed there, turned 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 with you now? Then how much piano do you plan to buy? Don't run out of money by then."

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

"Cash on me, I just paid four months' rent, and I still have around nine hundred thousand, nearly one million..."

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

"If possible, I actually want to get back a harpsichord, or something like a harpsichord, so that I can record Bach's works 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 talking, Wang Pei suddenly raised his hand in front of He Shen to stop him.

"Brother, stop! Wake up, wake up, the money on your body is 100 million, not 1000 million! Stop talking, I feel like you are going to turn your home into a piano museum!"

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

"But 100 million, except for the harpsichord which may be a little more difficult, the others are not particularly difficult!"

"Hybrid electronic recording grand piano can be used for recording. I personally recommend Yamaha DC3X-ENPRO. This basic model costs around 45."

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

"The upright pianos you need later are actually very cheap. If you want them, you can get them from us. I'll give you the purchase price. I won't treat you badly! After all, how much do you know each other? It's been a year, and I can't cheat you if I cheat other parents!"

"Vertical, if you don't really pursue quality, I'll buy you two Pearl Rivers with a combined purchase price of about [-] yuan, as a gift for your Yamaha."

"If you are after the quality of an upright piano, my personal suggestion is to buy some upright pianos that are also Yamaha. About [-] yuan is enough. It doesn't need to be too luxurious. Two of them are about [-] yuan."

"That is to say, about 50, you can get two upright pianos and one recording electronic grand piano."

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

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

"If you just play casually, there is actually no problem!"

"The price is about 15, and you can basically get the top configuration! If you don't need the top configuration, then tens of thousands are also available!"

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

Speaking of this place, Wang Pei obviously hesitated a little.

He looked at He Shen, then at the surrounding environment, and after thinking about it, he shook his head slowly.

"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 the same!"

"Our store has obtained the authorization of Steinway before, and we can sell some Steinway triangles and some upright pianos under Steinway."

"The price of these violins is very scary. Let me tell you this, the Steinway upright, the cheapest one, is about 90!"

"Japanese pianos such as Yamaha will be cheaper. The Kawaii SK-II you rented before cost about two hundred thousand."

"The price is too expensive! And they are all assembly-line triangles, which are not worth it! So I personally don't recommend you to buy this kind of piano!"

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

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

"Wang Wang!"

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 twice at him.

He Shen looked at Wang Pei hesitantly and said, "Wow...Wow?"

Wang Pei didn't see He Shen's hesitation. He nodded vigorously and said, "Yes, Wang Wang! The person who made the piano was called Wang Yi, so the piano he personally made was called wang, one, Wang is wang, and one is one in English." , the two together are called Wang Wang studio!"

"..."

Although he really wanted to complain about the name, He Shen didn't know where to start complaining for a while.

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

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

"It's very simple, because it's cheap and durable...ahem, it's durable!" Wang Pei retracted the words in his mouth that might lead to 404, and continued to He Shen.

"Wang Wang Studio is making pianos by hand and doing refurbishment business!"

"They recycle all the old violins and can restore some to pristine condition!"

"The overall reputation is quite good in all parts of China. Lang Liangyue's junior sister, Wang Jia, seems to have bought pianos in that place before. The quality of their pianos is very good!"

"If you agree, we'll take a look at this studio called Wang Wang later and choose a suitable piano."

"If you want a Steinway, we have a brand new Steinway with an original price of more than 90. In this place, I remember that you can buy a refurbished Steinway for more than 20."

“The renovation of their home is very good!”

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

"According to my personal feeling, I feel that it is comparable to those top pianos!"

"Their style is a bit similar to that of Steinway, with a soft tone and a moderate overall."

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

"Of course, this is my hand feeling. You also know that I haven't played the piano for a long time, so my hand feel 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 is 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, then nodded slowly.

"Row!"
