Chapter 104: A New Beginning
The night was deep.
In the bedroom, the lamp on the bedside table is still on.
A thick book of "Western Modern Music" was opened and pressed to his chest, Lu Chen was falling into a deep sleep with his eyes closed, the orange light shining on his face, and the chiaroscuro outline seemed to be like a plaster sculpture.
Drip!
The mobile phone that had landed on the edge of the bed rang suddenly, and at the same time vibrated violently.
Lu Chen woke up suddenly.
He sat up abruptly, his dark eyes full of confusion, and it took a moment for him to slowly regain his clarity.
Lu Chen had just had a dream, and in the dream he returned to that world, but he couldn't tell whether he was Xu Bo, Mo Ran, or Fang Mingyi, or no one in the dream.
In the dream, he is a lonely time and space traveler, a bystander of the mundane red dust, no matter how the years change and the world changes, it has nothing to do with him, just coldly watching the joys and sorrows of the world.
Lu Chen thought that he would never wake up until the end of the world!
Thankfully, it was just a dream.
He rolled over and got up, walked to the bathroom and washed his face, and the whole person was completely awake.
Back in the bedroom and picked up the phone to look at it, it was 1:32 a.m.
Lu Chen couldn't help but smile bitterly, and clicked on a message from Yifubao that he had just received, but he was stunned.
This message reminded Lu Chen that 200,000 yuan had just been transferred to his account!
And anonymously.
What the hell?
Lu Chen rubbed his eyes in disbelief, and hurriedly looked at his Yifubao record, it was actually true!
Who is this being a fortune boy? And it's such a huge amount of money?
He was confused.
The transfer transaction was accompanied by a message, which was as simple as two words - thank you.
It was these two words that made Lu Chen faintly understand.
Of those he knows, I am afraid that he is the only one who has the ability and motivation to do such a thing.
However, when Lu Chen called the other party to verify, he was turned off by a voice prompt.
……
The next morning, Lu Chen rushed to the Nirvana studio.
The production of Lu Chen's debut solo album will be done by this studio, and the two parties have signed a formal contract, so he will often come here for a long time.
In particular, a few works that are ready to be sung in the "Sing China" competition must be accompanied by tapes in advance.
It was Wang Changsheng who received Lu Chen, and the manager of the Nirvana Studio studio surprised him when he met.
"Mr. Lu, I'll help you find a suitable office space!"
"So fast?"
Lu Chen was taken aback: "Where is the location?"
He plans to open a music studio in the Blue Sky Creative Park, which is a bit far from the city center, but it is better because of the good environment, the surrounding commercial facilities are complete, and the operating costs are relatively low.
Therefore, Lu Chen asked Wang Changsheng to help find a suitable office the day before yesterday, but he didn't expect there to be news today.
It's too fast!
Wang Changsheng said with a smile: "It's also a coincidence, yesterday I met a student working in the park management committee, and after inquiring with him, I learned that there are several floors of Building A8 that are being rented out, with an office area of 100 to 1,500 square meters!"
The management committee of the district government under the Blue Sky Creative Park has a number of office buildings under its name, among which buildings A7 and A8 are the best, just on the north and south sides of the entrance of the park, just a few dozen meters away from the subway exit.
Originally, all the office floors of the two office buildings had already been leased out, but several floors of A8 were recently vacated for sublease due to the recent relocation of several companies to new buildings nearby.
This is really a coincidence, if Wang Changsheng hadn't met the students, it is estimated that it would not take a few days to disappear.
According to his student, several sets had already been booked in advance.
"I wanted to call you in the morning, and now you're just in time!"
After Lu Chen understood, he immediately became interested: "Then can you trouble Manager Wang to accompany me to have a look?"
"No problem!"
Wang Changsheng said with a smile: "You can rest assured about the arrangement of the album, Wang Jing has started working since yesterday, and I guarantee that it will not delay your competition and ensure the quality of the work!"
"I'm calling right now and asking that student of mine out. ”
As the saying goes, there are people in the DPRK who are easy to do, and the properties belonging to the management committee are helped by people in the management committee, so things are really much simpler.
Wang Changsheng's student, surnamed Xu, is in his 30s and is the head of a department of the management committee.
After meeting and getting to know him, he was still very enthusiastic about Lu Chen, and praised Lu Chen again and again for being young and promising.
It made Lu Chen a little embarrassed.
Through the introduction of Section Chief Xu, Lu Chen knew that the A8 office building in the Blue Sky Creative Park is 32 floors high, and the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd floors are leased to commercial households such as banks, restaurants, gyms, etc., and all the above 3 floors are office rooms, and there are currently vacant units for rent on the 15th, 19th, and 26th floors.
Under his leadership, Lu Chen and Wang Changsheng came to the A8 office building together and visited the three floors respectively.
For the office conditions here, Lu Chen is really satisfied.
He is still in his infancy, and his requirements are really not high, and if he is not lucky, he may not be able to meet him.
It's a rare opportunity, and you can't miss it if you encounter it!
The only thing that made Lu Chen hesitate was that a 200-square-meter suite on the 19th floor and a 150-square-meter suite on the 26th floor were both suitable for his conditions, but he didn't know which one to choose.
Wang Changsheng is still experienced, and analyzed for Lu Chen: "Mr. Lu, if you have plenty of funds, you should rent the one of 200 square meters! The house of the management committee will not increase in price easily, you can rest assured if you rent it for a few years, the area is larger, and it is convenient to expand the business in the future." ”
Big must be big, Lu Chen mainly wants to save some rent, but Wang Changsheng is very reasonable, so he didn't think about it for a long time, so he decided to rent the 200-square-meter office on the 19th floor.
The former tenant of this office has been renovated with a reception room, a large office area, two offices and a lounge, and bathrooms are divided into male and female rooms, which are spacious and comfortable.
Although all the contents have been removed, as long as you clean it up and add various office equipment, you will soon be able to move in and start business.
The rent of the house is 3. 5 yuan/square meter/day, 200 square meters of area is equivalent to 21,000 yuan per month, which is not cheap, but it is worth it relative to the location and conditions.
In addition, the annual property management fee is about 20,000 yuan.
is also now that Lu Chen has a stable source of income, otherwise even if he opens a studio, at most he will rent a small suite of dozens of square meters to make a living, where can he rent such a large room so luxuriously?
You must know that rent is one thing, and the expenses of salary, taxes, utilities and so on are not small when hiring employees in the future.
After choosing an office building, Lu Chen was afraid of long nights and dreams, so he simply went directly to the management committee with Section Chief Xu to sign a contract.
The efficiency of the Blue Sky Creative Park Management Committee was very high, and with the help of Section Chief Xu, he signed a formal contract before noon and got the lease right of this property, and the lease period was set at 2 years.
According to the contract requirements of the bet three pay three, Lu Chen paid a total of 126,000 yuan.
"Mr. Lu, congratulations!"
After signing the contract, the person in charge of the management committee shook Lu Chen's hand and said: "I wish you great ambitions and a bright future in the Blue Sky Creative Park!"
Lu Chen smiled: "Thank you!"
Originally, he wanted to invite the other party and Section Chief Xu to have a meal together at noon, but the two politely declined.
The regulations of the park management committee in this regard are very strict.
In the afternoon, when Lu Chen returned to his home, the first thing he did was to call Li Feiyu.
The office is rented, but there are still many tasks in the future, such as cleaning, purchasing supplies, decorating, applying for licenses, recruiting new employees, etc., all of which need to be completed by Li Feiyu for him.
and Lu Xi, I have to let her come to the capital in advance!
Lu Chen had a hunch that he would soon become very busy, and he couldn't do without the help of a trustworthy person by his side.
After talking to Li Feiyu on the phone, Lu Chen turned on the computer and logged in to the Inspur blog network.
On the largest blog site in China, he registered a new account with an ID called: Lu Chen FMX.
Lu Chen is himself, and FMX represents Fang Mingyi, Mo Ran and Xu Bo respectively.
The establishment of this account also means that he has stood at a new starting point in his life and career.
In his profile, Lu Chen filled in the word singer.
He knows that this is temporary, and he will add actors, freelance writers, etc. in the future...
And even more!
The registration time is 16:27 on July 13, 2015.
There are still 267 hours and 3 minutes before the start of the live broadcast of the 32nd and top 16 of the Beijing Singing District of "Singing China".
