Chapter 363: I want to take advantage
There is no one at home, and since the opening of the new hotel, the big house of Longfu Villa has been deserted. Although there are many people living there, most of them are not at home. Even Le Miaomiao and Feng Baobao didn't come back, and they lived in the hotel dormitory with their classmates to play, not to mention the new residents Lin Zi, Duck and others.
After returning home, Sha Sha and Xiaoya went to study, Liu Wenqing continued to work, Zhou Yidan and Ding Ding had nothing to do, and watched movies on the Internet. Bai Lu walked around the house alone, turned around for a while, and went up to the top of the building to play basketball in roller skates.
After playing for a while, I felt bored, and when I was thinking about whether to raise a dog, I received a long-lost phone call, Zhao Ping, the original owner of the wind painting studio, a well-known domestic painter with a green card.
Zhao Ping was very direct, and when he came up, he asked in a low voice: "Brother Hua, you really didn't do it?" ”
Brother Hua is the boss of the very unlucky Chinese community in New York's Chinatown, who wanted to extort Bai Lu, but was knocked out, and lost his wealth and life by the way.
Bai Lu thought for a while: "Which Brother Hua are you talking about?" Who is Brother Hua? ”
Zhao Ping was speechless for a while. He is a new immigrant to the United States, and according to the regulations, he has to go back and live for half a year to keep his green card. But the last time Brother Hua had an accident, he was afraid of being retaliated against by the gangsters, so he never went to the United States again. Seeing that time passed in a flash, it was time to go back and live for a few days, and I was worried, so I called Bai Lu to get a message, wanting to know more about the situation at that time, and if it was dangerous, I would consider moving to another city.
Where did he think that Bai Lu had completely forgotten about Brother Hua, and his worries seemed to be a joke.
Zhao Ping coughed and asked, "Is the hotel open?" ”
"You don't say I forgot, what. You promised to give me five paintings, and you will send them over in the next two days, don't you still know Duan Daqing? I asked him if I wanted two more drawings and sent them together. "Bai Lu has a good memory, and he can always remember things that should be remembered.
Zhao Ping was very depressed, this bastard couldn't remember who Brother Hua was, but he could remember Duan Daqing, was it on purpose? Take a few deep breaths, calm your emotions, and speak slowly: "I didn't promise you. ”
"Men don't wear that. I promised not to do it. Excuse me? You see I haven't urged you, this is the performance of a man, when will it be sent? I'll treat you to dinner. ”
And this guy is the more he talks, the more unclear he becomes. Send it away. Zhao Ping said: "Okay. Here you have five paintings. But I'm not sure about Duan Daqing, a painting of his can sell for tens or millions, so I'm embarrassed to ask for it in vain. ”
"What's so embarrassing? Just say I want it. By the way, don't paint abstract paintings for me, your kind of paintings with roots and a piece of paint can scare people to death, and tell you, if it weren't for a few of you who are a little famous, I wouldn't be too lazy to paint, just talking about painting, you may not be as good as me. Bai Lu was casually smiling.
"Zhilu said that if you draw well, it is better if you are still alive." Every time he calls Bai Lu, Zhao Ping will be angry, and this time is the same, so he is very straightforward to say what he thinks at this time, and by the way, he is angry with that bastard.
"Nonsense, aren't you alive too?" White Road Return.
"By the way, I heard that you and Jennifer will have a concert next month? Leave me a few tickets. ”
"No tickets."
"Then there is no painting."
"Okay, I'll surrender, I'll give you five tickets, and you give me five paintings." White Road is very good at bargaining.
"Deal, see the ticket for the painting."
"I'll kill you, give you a painting first, and then give a ticket when you perform." After saying this, think about it and ask: "Even you know that I have a performance?" ”
Nowadays, the main means of concert promotion is the Internet, notifying exclusive fans; Advertise in crowded places such as shopping malls or subway stations. If the publicity is strong, it will be linked to the most famous website, or a full-page newspaper will be chartered.
Generally speaking, top singers, that is, the kind of singers who can sell tickets the most, don't need the latter publicity methods at all, as long as they hold a press conference, say that they will hold a concert on the Internet, and determine the date and ticket sales method, it is easy to sell tickets.
Among this kind of singers is Jennifer, who is so famous that she doesn't even need to hold a press conference, she only does a few more promotions on the Internet, and then the tickets are sold out, half a month in advance.
The concert was in the Gongti, with nearly 80,000 tickets for temporary seats, and 160,000 tickets were easily sold out in two days. Even many singers and movie stars have bought tickets.
This woman is so popular, she sings well and acts well, attracting a large number of fans to cheer.
Because she is so popular, she hardly needs to invest money in publicity, so Bai Lu has never seen the advertisement for the concert. But then again, this guy is extremely unreliable, he has his own performances, but he doesn't know what day the performance is, let alone those dispensable advertisements.
Now, listening to Bai Lu's question, Zhao Ping didn't want to bother to say more, and said: "Send you a painting before the concert, Duan Daqing, help you say hello." ”
"Yes." took advantage of it again, and Bai Lu was in a good mood.
After hanging up the phone, I continued to play basketball, and I was tired and sweaty before going downstairs to take a shower and sleep.
The next morning, Bai Lu was lazy at home. Liu Wenqing called back from the hotel: "Come here at noon, there are four tables booked." ”
The opening of the new hotel has not been advertised, how can there be four tables of guests? Bai Lu asked curiously, "There are so many guests at four tables?" ”
"yes, come here." Liu Wenqing urged.
Bai Lu casually said hello and hung up the phone.
It's ten o'clock in the morning, and Yang Ling calls back: "Liv suggests buying fashion." ”
"What do you mean?" Bai Lu asked.
Yang Ling explained: "When you buy the same style and series, each dress looks slightly different, but at a glance, you can see that they are together, just like a couple's outfit. ”
Couples? Bai Lu was curious: "Ask me what to do?" The matter of clothes and Wen Qing can be done. ”
"If you follow Liv's suggestion, in spring, summer, autumn and winter, you have to buy one or two sets every season, and you have to match shoes and bags, adding together is definitely a lot of money, and it definitely exceeds Wenqing's budget, so Liv asked me to ask you, it's rare for Jennifer to have a concert, and she wants to bring a few more sets of clothes back."
"How many? Women's clothing is expensive, right? A set is thousands, or even tens of thousands. "Bai Lu pondered, just buy clothes for the waiter, what about Sha Sha and Wenqing?
Yang Ling said: "No matter how many sets you buy, I will definitely have them." I'm a senior employee. ”
"Cheng, I have your clothes, but you have to go to the hotel to help after you return to China, Wen Qing is too tired to be alone."
"No problem, I've been working for you anyway, but I want an extra set of clothes."
"You and Liv can discuss it, just one, no matter what clothes you buy, there must be Sasha and Wenqing."
"Shasha, Wenqing? No Tintin's? Yang Ling asked.
"Buy it, let Liv advance the money first."
"You've agreed to buy more?" Yang Ling asked again.
"Buy it. Aren't there discounted clothes? As long as you can make up the quantity, whether it is the same type or the same series, it will be done. "White Road is very expensive. Use brand-name clothes to help Liu Wenqing keep people.
"That's done. Zhilu said. I'll discuss it with Wenqing. Yang Ling said more: "Concert on the 28th, don't forget." "It's Jennifer's last show on her March tour.
Bai Lu said that he knew the way, and then said, "You can ask Jennifer about something." I plan to do a small benefit performance after the concert in Beicheng and ask her if she can participate. ”
Yang Ling thought about it and said: "Don't consume her, she is an American, her market is in the United States, what's the matter with such a charity show in China?" And after two commercial performances, this is very bad, with your relationship with her, it would be better to find her as an audience. ”
Why am I consuming her? However, what Yang Ling said made sense, and Bai Lu was surprised: "Are you still very smart?" ”
"Nonsense, think they're all as stupid as you? Anything else? There's nothing to do. Yang Ling hung up the phone.
The white road is to pack up and go out.
He Shanqing was lying on the sofa in the living room watching TV, and when he saw him walking out, he asked, "Where are you going?" No one has been cooking for the past few days, and you want to starve me to death? ”
"Starve you to death." The white road goes out.
"Wait a minute." He Shanqing jumped up, pedaled upstairs, and pedaled downstairs again, roller skates in his hand, turned off the TV by the way, and chased out the door.
Bai Lu asked, "Aren't these my shoes?" ”
"Borrow it." Staying at home and bored, this guy wants to practice wrestling with a little girl in a restaurant.
Bai Lu said, "I've sent you." ”
The two of them went downstairs, got in the car, and after the red sports car hit the road, Bai Lu asked, "Have you done a good job of getting the driver's license for the bus?" ”
"Who told you not to be old enough?" He Shanqing spoke casually, and then glanced at Bai Lu: "Tell me the truth with my brother, how old are you?" ”
Bai Luba lowered his mouth: "I sleep." Close your eyes and ignore He Shanqing.
Not long after arriving at the hotel, He Shanqing sat down and shouted, "Serve wine and food." ”
Bai Lu said angrily: "It's not open, be honest." "Go upstairs and talk to Liu Wenqing.
At noon, there were four tables of guests, and one table was booked by a friend of the health cow who came to eat yesterday, and it was the slightly chubby middle-aged man surnamed Tang. One table is a fat sea reservation. One table was booked by Mr. Sima. The last table was a person named Gao Daquan who booked a table.
Bai Lu took the order and glanced at it, put it down and said, "Liv will buy more clothes." ”
"It's good to buy more." Liu Wenqing asked: "Uncle Ba reported to me and said that you want to buy fruits, where will you transport them?" ”
"Send it to the villa borrowed by Gao Yuan, and after it is brewed, it will be transported to the basement." White Road Return.
"I know it." Liu Wenqing left him alone and concentrated on his work.
Bai Lu took out his copycat mobile phone to play games.
Soon at eleven o'clock, the piano music sounded in a low voice, the restaurant began to open, and the employees began to work.
Within five minutes, the waiter knocked on the door and came in: "Boss, the third brother wants to eat, and he said that he signed your order." ”
Bai Lu heard it, Lao Tzu hasn't signed a bill yet, do you want to sign a bill? Close the game, strode downstairs, and sat opposite He Shanqing: "Are you going crazy?" ”
"Less nonsense, Lao Tzu is hungry and wants to eat."
"Pay the money."
"Don't pay it! Besides, you haven't paid back the property fee that Lao Tzu helped you pay. ”
"A yard is a yard, that money is what I borrowed from you, and you have to pay this money."
"The same RMB, how can it be two yards?"
The two debated lively, and the nearby waiter snickered. At this time, the first group of guests came to the door today, and a big fat man entered the door with four beautiful girls, each girl was dressed as a standard of Bai Fumei, with long hair, big eyes, white skin, and a famous brand, but she wore little.
