Chapter 407: The Great Purchase of Musical Instruments
This place is now a cultural street, selling not only musical instruments, but also pen, ink, calligraphy, paintings, antiques and other things. But most of those things are in the street, and the musical instrument shop is outside the street.
There are few high-rise buildings on both sides of the street, most of them are bungalows, only look at the wooden couplets, and then there are green tiles and red windows, which is very ancient.
As soon as they got out of the car, the two foreigner beauties fell in love with this place and asked Bai Lu: "Let's buy a house here." ”
Bai Lu ignored the two crazy women, chose a relatively large musical instrument store to enter, took out the purchase list on his body, and handed it directly to the waiter: "I want everything." ”
The waiter was a man in his thirties, glanced at the list, and said in his heart: This is a big deal.
But after taking a closer look, he frowned and said, "Boss, we don't sell TV." ”
Bai Lu sighed: "Look at the instrument." ”
Nowadays, there are endless fakes of musical instruments, especially brand-name musical instruments, which are mostly counterfeit low-grade goods. For example, guitars, foreign brand-name pianos, any one can exceed 10,000. Such pianos are hardly sold in the piano shop. Coupled with a bunch of fees such as tariffs, I don't know when I can sell it in the store, not to mention the funds, but also to bear the risk. So most of the instruments are bargains, and they are said to be practice pianos.
In addition to the brand, the material can also be faked, and the same is true for guitars, with different wood, different prices. But after the paint is applied, do you know what kind of wood it is? There are more composite panels, and the price is cheaper.
Another example is the erhu, a good erhu can be sold for thousands of yuan, and it is made of ebony. But a fake one only costs three hundred, and as for what kind of wood it is, it depends on what kind of wood the maker wants to use.
Of course, there are many reasons why musical instrument stores are fake. One of the main reasons is that business is not doing well, and the cost has risen sharply. What is the place of Liulichang? This is an old house in the second ring road, not far from anywhere, and there are no high-rise buildings, so it is appropriate to charge more rent.
The landlord should be, and the store will be tragic, so he can only find out how to make more money. For example, if a guitar sells for 1,000, it must make at least 300 or more profits.
But you can't sell it, you're not the only musical instrument store on the street, you're expensive. Someone else is cheaper. Who do you say you want to buy?
There is a shopkeeper who puts the purchase bill directly in the store, you come to buy the piano, right? I want to buy it sincerely, right? I will show you the purchase account, how much money you entered, how many handfuls you entered. You buy sincerely. I sell sincerely. How much do you think I should earn?
Of course, bills can also be fake, which is another matter.
Right now. After receiving this shopping list, at least dozens of musical instruments, the waiter was of course tempted and asked another person to go to the boss, and he led Bai Lu to make an introduction.
After a while, a fat man who was almost fifty years old walked in from behind, took the piece of paper and read it, and asked Bai Lu, "Do you want all of this?"
"If it's a musical instrument, I want it, and if you can help me get a brush, a clip or something, it's even better. ”
Seventy-four children, with seventy-four dreams, each of them wants the future world to be wonderful because of them.
The shopkeeper smiled: "It's no problem to help you buy something, there is a cultural and entertainment store not far away, but that's not how you buy musical instruments, you have to say what you like, you have to choose, we can talk about it, I can't say anything, you can buy anything, after you go back, in case you are not satisfied, isn't it irresponsible for you?"
Bai Lu said: "It's okay, a bunch of children's use, every musical instrument must bring teaching materials, with scores, and then it must be a good thing, no name brand is required, but don't fool me with broken things." ”
"How dare you do this? So, you sit, I'll give you a sample, you look at it, look at it, look at it. "The owner was very responsible.
Yang Ling suddenly interjected: "Jennifer said to help you choose, and said that you are true or false, and she wants her to help but she doesn't say it." ”
Jennifer is an old musician, playing the piano in elementary school, and knows a lot about musical instruments, so she is most suitable to be a coolie who buys a piano. This is the sinister intention of the sinister white road to bring Jennifer to buy the piano, but he doesn't say it, so that Jennifer automatically and consciously works as a coolie.
Most of those who can sell musical instruments like music. Hearing the woman speak, the shopkeeper looked at the three women, and when he saw Jennifer, he couldn't believe it: "Jennifer?"
Jennifer nodded yes, and the shopkeeper immediately went over to shake hands. Don't look at the age of the person, he is a serious musician, cold beer in summer, heart-warming tea in winter, fiddling with musical instruments and singing, that is a joy.
These guys are quite involved, not to mention Jennifer, even if most Americans don't know about the underground band, as long as they have released a record, these guys may know the name of the gang.
The shopkeeper was very surprised, and told the waiter to get the camera, he wanted to take a photo with Jennifer, and then spoke to Bai Lu by the way: "Don't worry, only Jennifer, I will definitely sell you good things." ”
Bai Lu faintly looked forward to: "Don't you think I'm familiar?" This guy can recognize Jennifer, and he should be able to recognize me, no matter how big or small, we are a star.
It's a pity that he thought wrong, the shopkeeper really didn't know him, people don't watch videos or concerts, where can they meet him? The shopkeeper looked at Bai Lu carefully: "Are you, Xu Zheng?"
Bai Lu was furious: "Am I that old?"
Yang Ling asked curiously, "Do you know Xu Zheng?"
"It's always been played on TV, and I'm annoyed to death, and now I'm annoyed when I see a bald person. Bai Lu continued to be angry.
At this time, the waiter came back with a camera, took a picture of the shopkeeper and Jennifer, and asked Jennifer, "Can I take the picture out and hang it on the wall?"
Jennifer laughed, "Absolutely." ”
The shopkeeper was very happy, and took pictures of Julie, and by the way, pointed to the bald head and asked the waiter, "Do you know this guest?"
The waiter was looking at Julie in a daze, thinking about it, but the name was on his lips but he couldn't say it, anyway, he was a big star, and said to the boss: "I want to take pictures too." "Directly ignore the boss's problem, and also ignore the person of Bai Lu.
Then take a photo, and pick a musical instrument after taking a photo.
Bai Lu was very hurt, and dragged the waiter and asked, "I'm such a big star, don't you know me?"
The waiter hadn't seen all the videos about Bai Lu, so he smiled embarrassedly: "It's really clumsy." ”
"It must be clumsy, it's clumsy. White Road instructed Jennifer to pick a musical instrument.
In fact, there is no need for Jennifer to pick it, the shopkeeper picks it for them, and they are all cheap and suitable.
There is such a group of musical instrument sellers, first of all, musicians. And then there are the merchants. They like music, and they have nothing else to do but this, and they can't be stars, so they make a living by selling musical instruments.
When these musicians meet their favorite singers, they will definitely not rip off customers, they are all in the circle, and they can't afford to lose this person.
What's more, people buy pianos in large quantities, which can not only make money, but also have a relationship with singers, so there is no need to smash their signboards. So the shopkeeper carefully instructed the two waiters to move the musical instruments.
The storefront is huge. In addition to Bai Lu, there were two people inside who were picking guitars, accompanied by a young man in his twenties, who heard this movement. Curious. Discover the big stars. It's also noisy to take a group photo.
Jennifer and Julie were very face-saving and did not refuse. The shopkeeper saw that something was wrong and hurriedly closed the store. Closed for the big guest in front of you.
When they were busy, He Shanqing called and asked where they were.
Bai Lu went out to tell the address, and after a while, the chefs also called to ask for the address, and told him the same.
Ten minutes later, He Shanqing and the little chef arrived one after another, everyone waited outside for a while, the door of the store opened, and the bell was raised to beckon Bai Lu to enter.
It's nothing more than paying, children mostly choose guitar and trumpet, saxophone and other musical instruments, and more children want to study, want to get a good job after getting good grades.
The owner is good, the price is fair, the things are good, buy this bunch of things, and go to the stationery store and bookstore to wander around. Buy books and teaching CDs, buy two big TVs by the way, and then add DVDs, buy them together, and drive to the home of love.
He Shanqing shook his head while driving: "That's you." "It means you're such a bad person.
Bai Lu didn't answer, he didn't ask about the consequences, he only asked about the mood at the moment, he wanted to do it, then do it, as for what will happen in the future, does it have anything to do with me?
After a long journey, I finally got my stuff to the home of love, asked the chefs to help make dinner, and then returned. Only then did I realize that there was still a box in the car. Just about to get off the car, Yang Ling said it was Jennifer's.
Bai Lu was curious, opened it and saw that it was a pipa, and Jennifer really had Yaxing.
On the way back, Shao Chengyi called: "Luzi, you said please eat." ”
"Are they back?" asked the two police officers who had sent Queenie back to the frontier.
"You're back, will you succeed tonight?"
"Cheng, where to eat? Standard or five-star?"
"Five stars, you get more good wine and have a good drink. ”
"Done. The two of them made an appointment to hang up the phone.
He Shanqing asked, "Do you have a treat?"
"Yes. ”
"Count me in. As he spoke, he called Lin Zi: "Inform people, in the evening in the five-star hotel, Luzi will cook and entertain." ”
"Did you ask for it?" asked Bai Lu.
"Less nonsense. He Shanqing drove to the standard restaurant first, put down a few cooks, and then went to Liu Wenqing to get wine.
The next thing is to go back to the five-star hotel for dinner, and the group of people drank happily. Lao Shao took seven or eight policemen to eat, plus He Shanqing and others, and easily crowded the five-star hotel.
During the meal, He Shanqing pointed to the opposite side and asked, "Ya has entered the top ten?"
At the entrance of the first canteen opposite is a poster of Zou Xiaoying, one of the top ten chefs selected by the "Chef for Respect" program.
Speaking of this, Gao Yuan raised his head and said, "There is a food festival next month, inviting high-end restaurants and senior chefs from all over Asia to participate, do you want to go?"
Originally, the entire food festival was for Bai Lu, but I didn't expect this guy to be unhappy and say not to play, and then everyone forgot about it, now think about it, the food festival has eight chefs to perform, including a competitive link, if Bai Lu is willing to go, it is absolutely no problem to take the first place.
In the past, I said that I would give Bailu a booth, but at that time, I wanted to first take the first place in "Chef for Respect", that is, the first domestic chef, and then go to the food festival to win the first place in Asia, and take advantage of this wind to start the hotel signboard. Now look at the virtue of Bailu, and then have the positioning and business strategy of a standard hotel, it may not need to be promoted at the food festival.
Listening to Gao Yuan's question, Bai Lu thought for a while and said, "This is going to be May?" took out the phone and called Mingchen: "What are you still doing as a judge?" Mingchen is one of the judges of "The Chef is Respectful".
After a while I hung up the phone. Mingchen said that the program of "Chef is Respectful" has ended. The program is recorded, and now the TV station is magnifying the ending, which is the result of the most lucrative game.
For the sake of secrecy, the audience of the show did not know who was the winner of the most Lu Dao, but Ming Chen and other judges knew Lu Dao. (To be continued......)
