"That's right, Miss Duan, there have always been some misunderstandings about Steinway and Sons, what kind of performances must be performed with Steinway & Sons, or to attend events must be entered with the title of Steinway & Sons artist, and no advertisements can be accepted, and other extremely irresponsible rumors, these do not exist. ”

In fact, being a Steinway & Sons artist is just one more title, and you don't even have to participate in some unnecessary internal events. ”

"But at the same time, even if you become a Steinway & Sons artist, you don't have any privileges, you have to do anything with Steinway, and of course, there are some nice value-added services that non-Steinway artists don't enjoy. ”

Paul also answered another question, 'Will there be some convenience when you become a Steinway & Sons artist?' ’

It's just that Duan Ran didn't seem to hear the part he was interested in.

She hummed and questioned, "If that's all there is to it, then why would Qin Jian join the ranks of Steinway artists?"

The scene was suddenly silent.

Qin Jian blinked quietly, he didn't expect the little fat man to be so fierce.

Paul didn't think of it either.

This question is very straightforward.

Duan Ran stretched his waist and changed to a comfortable sitting position and leaned against Qin Jian.

"You're right, Steinway & Sons is home to nearly 95% of the world's pianists.

But not all of the top pianists were under Steinway, Licht later opted for Faciolis, Gould always used an old yamah, and Anzis seemed to have openly said that there was no worse piano than Steinway. ”

Having said this, Duan Ran stopped unhurriedly, she needed to hear something practical.

Or that Steinway was willing to do something to win Qin Jian.

Duan Ran made it clear that Steinway only valued Qin Jian's potential and nationality.

Because as far as Qin Jian's personal achievements are concerned, it is far from the point where Steinway & Sons can tailor a piano for him.

At the time of the Bergen turmoil, Vaughn's music criticism caused a lot of fluctuations in many European colleges, and you must know that Vaughn's identity is not an ordinary music critic, so the passage he mentioned in the music review - Baudelaire deliberately wanted to tailor a piano for Qin Jian has to make people think about it.

At that time, Duan Ran discussed this issue with Rigel, and Rigel told her that things are not as simple as they seem, even as the leader of Hamburg Steinway, Baudelaire has no right to decide this matter, and the cycle from proposal to approval to R&D and marketing may make a child wait until adulthood.

But Riegel also said that it may only take a few months.

It's a dynamic process.

When Duan Ran told these words to Qin Jian, Qin Jian also told her that the old bartender and Liao Linjun also said the same thing.

So neither of them took it to heart.

But no one can deny that this is indeed a stout olive branch.

Paul confessed that she admired Duan Ran's directness, he sorted out Vaughn's advice before leaving, and after a moment he said, "Miss Duan, Steinway has a big net in the piano world that you can't imagine, and everyone who is obsessed with the piano path can't get rid of this net, and it can easily make anyone popular." ”

Duan Ran: "So what?"

Paul: "Steinway admires Mr. Qin Jian, mind you, very, Mr. Baudelaire has been following closely. “

Duan Ran: "Thank you, I understand." ”

Paul: "You're welcome, that's what I should do." ”

moment

Paul: "So?"

Duan Ran smiled: "It's not my turn to call the shots in this matter." ”

Paul laughed, too: "Not necessarily. ”

Speaking of this, the two sides have already passed on each other's initial attitudes.

Qin Jian came out to play a round: "Don't worry, let's go around." ”

End of a pleasant 30-minute morning. LeTV

The three of them left the cafeteria, and Qin Jian took Paul to visit the piano workshop on the way, and when he passed by the door of Old Harlem, he happened to catch Old Harlem sitting under the eaves to enjoy the shade.

"Morning, Mr. Haring. ”

Qin Jian said hello to the other party, and Old Harlin also smiled and took off his hat to Qin Jian.

After passing by, Qin Jian told Paul that Harlem Sr. used to be a senior designer at the Steinway & Sons factory.

Paul: "Wow, a great old man. ”

Qin Jian: "Yes, he tuned the piano for Rubinstein. ”

Paul exclaimed, giving him a thumbs up.

After coming to the piano workshop, Qin Jian introduced Paul with a familiar car.

This was the first time Paul had walked into the production base of the piano, and it was indeed beyond his expectations, and it was very different from the modern piano production process he had seen.

"It's spectacular. “

Out of the piano workshop, Paul said again.

At noon, Qin Jian, as the host, invited Paul to a high-end restaurant in Bergen, accompanied by Duan Ran, and the three of them had a sumptuous lunch.

During the meal, almost no one mentioned the morning's affairs, Duan Ran was right, Xiao Sai was imminent, and Steinway didn't seem to care about Qin Jian's piano selection.

However, Paul did mention it, "Miss Duan, when you arrive in Warsaw, you can directly contact the person in charge of Steinway in Warsaw to identify yourself, and they will dispatch the best tuner to make all the adjustments for your competition piano, everything will be according to your needs." “

Duan Ran thanked him for this, but when she contacted the other party in the morning, she seemed to be joking: "Is there a charge?"

Paul humorously replied, "It's a little personal gift from Monsieur Baudelaire." ”

After lunch, Qin Jian asked Paul if he would like to participate in tomorrow's outing, but Paul regretfully refused, he had to catch the afternoon flight.

So Qin Jian took Paul around the neighborhood and sent Paul to the airport before the plane took off.

Before parting outside the airport, he told Paul to say hello to Vaughn and Baudelaire on his behalf, and finally thanked them for making a special trip for them.

Paul: "It's just my job, Mr. Qin Jian, and personally, I want you to be a frequent guest at Hamburg, and sometimes it's not difficult to make some choices. ”

Qin Jian: "Thank you, I'll think about it, next time I go to the burger, I'll definitely bring you wheat cakes." ”

Paul was stunned for a moment, then smiled, "I wish you all the best in the race." ”

With a handshake, Paul walked into the airport.

After Paul left, Qin Jian returned to the car, and Duan Ran put down the security radish on his phone and looked at him, "Shall we go back directly?"

Qin Jian pulled the car door and sat down, "We have to go buy something more, and tomorrow Teacher Assad and Ido will also set off with us, so there are two more people." ”

Duan Ran clapped his little hand: "Let's go!"

Qin Jian stepped on the accelerator and drove out of the parking lot.

"It's been a hard day. ”

"Hehe, so you need to make something nice to eat in the evening. ”

"Okay—"

"It's fun to think about, I haven't gone on an outing yet. “

"For the first time again?"

"You roll~"

"Hahaha, by the way, Duan Ran, do you really want me to join that youth program?"

"Why not?"
