Chapter 587: Piano (2-in-1)
"You want to buy a piano? Isn't there one at home? Minister Sun heard that Xu Ze wanted to buy a piano, and couldn't help but be a little puzzled.
Xu Ze turned his head and glanced at the big triangle that Sun Lingfei commonly used in the living room, and shook his head with a wry smile, he had tried this piano before, but it was still far away from his requirements, and immediately said: "This one doesn't quite meet my requirements..."
"Not up to the mark?" Minister Sun raised his eyebrows, looked at the pretty top-of-the-line Yamaha that he had spent more than 200,000 yuan for Sun Lingfei a few years earlier, and then blinked, becoming more and more confused.
Yanjing's Gibson piano shop is still quite good, Minister Sun introduced this piano shop to Xu Ze, after Xu Ze walked in, he looked at the various pianos on display inside, and couldn't help but nod lightly.
"Sir? Welcome to Gibson, is there anything I can do to help you? A young waitress looked at Xu Ze and looked around the hall a few times, and quickly judged that the person in front of him should not be the kind of person who looked at random, so she walked over very shrewdly and quickly, and asked politely with a smile.
Looking at the waiter who was smiling a little sweet and cute, Xu Ze nodded with a chuckle, and then said, "I want to buy a piano... What a good piano can show me..."
Listening to Xu Ze's words, the smile on the waiter's face was even stronger, as soon as she walked in, she had already seen that the young man in front of her was dressed in a very high-end material, although she couldn't tell what brand it was, but according to her vision, this one was naturally a good piano, of course... The piano is even better...
"Yes, sir... My name is Xiaoling, I am happy to serve you, may I ask your surname? At the moment, this Xiaoling is becoming more and more respectful and enthusiastic.
"My surname is Xu..."Xu Ze gently pushed the system glasses that had been transformed into a pair of black-framed glasses, and said a knife slowly.
"Okay, Mr. Xu, you come with me, our good pianos are on the second floor..."
On the second floor, Xiaoling led Xu Ze to the piano area, and then enthusiastically introduced...
"Sir, this is a big triangle kawaii with pretty good timbre and pitch... You can take a look..."Xiao Ling politely took Xu Ze to see the first piano, the price of this piano is not low, fifteen or sixty thousand, if you can sell this one, it is also quite good.
She believes that this price should not have any problems with Xu Ze, and if the other party likes it, then she should buy it.
"Kawaii?" Xu Ze's eyebrows raised slightly, he didn't have a good impression of the island piano, but it was undeniable that their piano was still better than the domestic one, since the other party recommended it, he didn't refuse, if he could buy a good piano at a cheap price, it would be okay.
Immediately he walked over, stretched out his hand and quickly struck a few notes on the piano...
I felt it a little, and then shook my head gently, this piano is still good, but it is still far worse than my own requirements, and even a little worse than Ling Fei's...
Seeing Xu Ze shaking his head, Xiao Ling didn't care in her eyes, she could naturally see that Xu Ze's movements just now were quite skillful, and they seemed to be knowledgeable people.
At that moment, he led Xu Ze to see a Yamaha...
This Yamaha is also a well-rated piano in the store, with a price of about 200,000 yuan, which is indeed better than the one just now. Xiaoling believes that this Mr. Xu should take a fancy to this fight. If the other party can buy this one, then the commission is not much...
But unfortunately, although Xu Ze has the intention of picking up good goods at a low price, although the one in front of him is slightly stronger than the one just now, it is still a lot worse than what he expected, so it completely defeated his idea.
Looking at the disappointed expression of Mr. Xu in front of him, the smile on Xiao Ling's face gradually lowered and solidified, this Yamaha is a very good instrument, but this Mr. Xu is still not eye-catching, then it is a little troublesome.
But no matter what, she really didn't plan to let go of this commission like this, and continued to smile at the moment: "Mr. Xu, if you don't like it either, why don't you take a look at the one over there, it's also very good."
Xu Ze glanced at it, it was still a Yamaha, and then finally shook his head and sighed: "Xiaoling, you should have Steinway here, right?" ”
"Steinway?" Hearing this word, Xiao Ling couldn't help but swallow her saliva with some difficulty, and then looked at Xu Ze in a bit of a daze.
Looking at this Xiao Ling's stunned appearance, Xu Ze raised his eyebrows lightly, and then said, "Isn't it?" ”
"There's... Hearing Xu Ze's question, Xiao Ling finally came to her senses, and then quickly suppressed her excitement and said: "Our Gibson is one of the largest piano stores in Yanjing, of course there will be Steinway... Do you want me to show you there? ”
"Of course... Of course... Please come with me..."Xiao Ling suppressed her excitement as she led Xu Ze towards the third floor.
And Xu Ze followed Xiao Ling towards the third floor, and a middle-aged man who was looking at the piano casually behind him glanced at Xu Ze's back inadvertently, with a cold light in his eyes, and then turned his head and walked out towards the door.
Xu Ze didn't pay attention to this, but now he is thinking about it again, hoping that there will be a few more Steinway pianos here, so that he can have more choices; Although the pianos of Steinway & Sons are relatively reliable, there will still be some slight differences, if you can have a few more, then you can pick one back, otherwise if it is too little, there is no choice.
If he is asked to wait for the order, then he is not in the mood to wait...
This Xiaoling on the side led Xu Ze towards the third floor, but at this time she couldn't help but be excited, she really didn't expect that this Mr. Xu in front of her would ask to see Steinway, a person who should be serious about buying a piano, after seeing a few Yamaha and kawaii, after being dissatisfied, he actually wanted to see Steinway, what does this mean...
This means that he wants to buy... What does it mean for him to buy it? People who are so familiar with the piano naturally know the price of Stanwei, which means that he can afford it? And if he buys it, it means that he can get a large amount of money at least a few months' salary...
"Such a fortune actually happened to you?" Xiao Ling walked ahead, thinking excitedly that her performance this month had dropped a little compared to the previous month, and if she could win this, not only the manager would be impressed, but even other colleagues would be envious.
"Especially that Sassy Fox Xiaomei, isn't it Steinway who sold more than one million last month? On weekdays, his performance is worse than his own, but this time he is the old man with his tail in front of him, and he shows off in front of everyone when he has nothing to do... If this Mr. Xu buys it this time, I see that her tail is still cocking..."
While thinking about it, this Xiaoling led Xu Ze to the third floor, and said respectfully and enthusiastically: "Mr. Xu, come here..."
Xu Ze followed behind this Xiaoling and walked inside.
The third floor was separated at this time, divided into three rooms, and Xiao Ling took Xu Ze into the largest hall on the right at this time.
Xu Ze looked around, there are not many pianos here, there are only four or five pianos, but it seems that they are all high-quality...
At this time, there were a few people in the piano hall on the third floor, two customers and two like the waiter and manager of the store.
The four of them were gathered around a piano at this time, as if they were trying out the piano.
At this time, the footsteps were heard, and then the four people over there raised their heads and glanced in this direction.
One of them seemed to be a young man who bought a piano, but at this time, he said in a dissatisfied voice to the person who looked like the manager next to him: "Manager Wang, what's the matter?" We're going to buy a piano, why do you still let the idlers come up? ”
The manager hurriedly smiled and said, "Bai Shao... I'm sorry, there should be a guest who wants to see our piano, don't you mind..."
"What to see... Is the piano here bought by ordinary people? You guys are really, these pianos are casually let people see and try, they are all old pianos, how can we buy them? Besides, Miss Zhang Yuan is trying the piano, how can she try a good piano if she is disturbed? This Bai Shao frowned lightly and glanced at Xu Ze's side, and said in a low voice.
"Bai Shao... Bai Shao, don't mind, I'll let them be quiet, so as not to disturb Miss Zhang at all" The manager quickly smiled flatteringly, glanced at the waitress next to him, and walked towards Xu Ze.
This Manager Wang is a businessman, he stepped forward with a smile, looked at Xu Ze, looked at it inadvertently, looked at Xu Ze's indifferent attitude and the clothes and bearing on his body, his eyes moved slightly, and then he greeted him politely and respectfully: "Hello sir, I am Gibson's manager Wang Qi, welcome to your visit." ”
Xu Ze nodded with a smile and said, "Hello Manager Wang, I want to see Steinway..."
"Oh... Okay, okay, please come with me..."Manager Wang nodded quickly, and then led Xu Ze very politely and enthusiastically towards a black piano next to him.
"Mr. Xu... This is the original Steinway & Sons from Hamburg, Germany... You can take a look..."The little Ling next to her hurriedly said with a smile.
Xu Ze nodded, then stood over, looked at the elegant and atmospheric piano, and then reached out and stroked it lightly on the keys, stirring up a series of beautiful notes.
Listening to the timbre of these piano sounds, Xu Ze nodded lightly, and was about to sit down and give it a formal try, but suddenly he heard someone behind him shouting in a deep voice: "Manager Wang, what's the matter?" Didn't you see Miss Zhang auditioning? Why do you still let idle people come in and make trouble? ”
Hearing the young man's shouts, Manager Wang's face couldn't help but stiffen, so he had to quickly turn around and nod again and again, and smiled: "Ah... Bai Shao is embarrassed, sorry..."
After finishing speaking, this Manager Wang had no choice but to smile politely at Xu Ze: "Mr. Xu, someone is trying the piano over there, why don't you rest for a while, drink a cup of tea and try again, otherwise the sound of the piano is sandwiched together, and sometimes it is not clear..."
Looking at Manager Wang's embarrassed face, Xu Ze smiled, but he didn't care, it is not easy for people to do business, especially in this Gyeonggi land.
Anyway, he wasn't in a hurry, so he smiled and nodded.
Seeing Xu Ze nodding, Manager Wang breathed a sigh of relief, and that Xiaoling also quickly and cleverly invited Xu Ze to sit down on the side, and then brought a cup of tea.
And this Manager Wang was also on the side at this time, carefully accompanying him, and smiled helplessly: "The one who is trying the piano now is the child of Minister Zhang of the Ministry of Railways, and the one next to him is the child of Minister Bai of the General Staff... Fortunately, Mr. Xu, you understand..."
"Minister Bai? Bai Jianguo's son? Xu Ze raised his eyebrows slightly, then smiled lightly, picked up the cup and took two sips gently.
Hearing Xu Ze's inadvertent words, this Manager Wang was stunned, looking at Xu Ze's eyes and moving again, and then the smile on his face became stronger, and the tone of his words was a little more polite, and said, "Ah... You also know Minister Bai... Hehe, Bai Shao is also the second time to come to our piano shop, last time Miss Bai's birthday, he accompanied Miss Bai here to pick a Steinway & Sons, I think the piano in this line is really good, so today I accompanied Miss Zhang over..."
"Hmm... The original German Steinway & Sons is generally good..."Xu Ze seemed to be dissatisfied with the little praise of the piano store in Manager Wang's words, and said with a light smile.
Hearing Xu Ze's casual words, Manager Wang's expression did not move, and he continued to laugh and said, "That's... At this time, our piano store specially ordered from Germany, and the stock volume of our Steinway & Sons is also one of the best in Yanjing... Wait for the custody of Mr. Xu's satisfaction..."
This Manager Wang chatted with him on the side, and it seemed that he had finished trying the piano, and Bai Shao and Miss Zhang sat down on the sofa at the other end under the guidance of the first waiter.
Seeing this, Manager Wang hurriedly said politely: "Okay, Mr. Xu, are you going to try the piano now?" ”
Xu Ze nodded, then stood up and walked towards the first piano.
After this Manager Wang accompanied him for a trip, he confessed to Xu Ze, asked Xiao Ling to accompany him, and then walked to Bai Shao's side.
Xu Ze gently slid the keys a few times, and after pressing a few notes, he nodded gently, Steinway's is still reliable, much stronger than the one below.
Turning his head to look at the few units behind him, Xu Ze stood up, and then said with a smile: "I'll try those ones too."
"Hey... Okay, Mr. Xu, please come with me..."Listening to Xu Ze's words, where would this Xiaoling be unwilling, this one is the cheapest one among the few, if this Mr. Xu likes the back, it will naturally be better.
Xu Ze walked to the second stage, and after sitting down, he also knocked out a few notes casually, and then played a short section attentively, and then withdrew his hand.
For him, perhaps no one else, except for those professional tuners, has the ability to distinguish the subtle differences in these notes. With his strong mental strength, basically after trying it once, it was almost the same.
Then he stood up and walked towards the one behind him, there were four Steinways, and he had to pick the best one out of them to make the trip.
In this way, Xu Ze tried one by one, and the smile on the face of this Xiaoling who was accompanying him became stronger and stronger, the further back these four pianos, the higher the price, and the last one was even more than four million, if this Mr. Xu took a fancy to this one, it would be cool...
Thinking of this, Xiao Ling couldn't help but glance up at the little beauty who was standing respectfully on the side and accompanying Bai Shao over there, with a chuckle in her eyes, the little fox was honest today, not as tired of being by Bai Shao's side as she was that day; If she still dares to stick to it today, with this Miss Zhang here, I'm afraid that this Bai Shao will slap her twice...
With Xiao Ling's glance, that Xiao Mei also seemed to notice Xiao Ling's gaze, but a small spark erupted between the eyes of the two.
Na Xiaomei glanced at Xiaoling with a sneer, she was also proud in her heart, she received this Bai Shao and his sister last time, and after a few coaxes, this Bai Shao asked his sister to buy a Stanway back; Sure enough, this time he brought someone again, one per month, and he was going to earn more money by relying on that commission.
Even the manager was polite to himself... finally surpassed this Xiaoling. Although I didn't expect this Xiaoling to drag a customer to see Steinway today, but is this Steinway bought by ordinary people? But this time, I can't run away again...
Thinking of this, the smug look in this Xiaomei's eyes became more and more intense.
The two looked at each other, both full of contempt and disdain for each other...
Xu Ze played lightly for a short time, then withdrew his hand from the last piano, and glanced at Xiao Ling, who was quickly retracting his gaze from there, and couldn't help but smile, he still had a good impression of this waitress who had a sweet smile and seemed to be a little simple;
From the moment this Xiao Ling looked at her changing the piano one by one, the smile on her face became richer and stronger, and it could be seen that this little waitress was very simple-minded, Xu Ze couldn't help but laugh slowly at the moment: "What?" Don't you like that colleague? ”
Hearing Xu Ze's words, this Xiaoling's face was cute red, and then she quickly stretched out her finger and blew it in front of her mouth, and said embarrassedly: "You... Don't talk nonsense..."
Xu Ze chuckled, but didn't make a sound, and then stood up gently.
Seeing Xu Ze standing up, this Xiaoling hurriedly asked with a smile: "Mr. Xu, which one do you prefer?" ”
"I..." Xu Ze deliberately lengthened his voice, watching Xiao Ling's face gradually lower and become nervous, but smiled, didn't tease this cute little waiter again, I'll try the third one...
"Hey..."Hearing Xu Ze's words, Xiaoling was presumptuously relieved, but she was afraid that Xu Ze wouldn't like it, so it would be over, it would be a trivial matter if there was no commission, but when she turned around, she had to be ashamed of that Xiaomei.
Xu Ze made it to the third one, then stretched out his fingers, and gently plucked the keys briskly, he tried these four pianos, and felt that except for the first one, the other three were stronger than the one he had in Star City.
And this third one seems to feel the best... And it just so happens that this third and only one is white, which is very similar to the one at home.
So, he sat down in front of the third frame, and then he was ready to play a full tune, and he tried to feel it, and if it was good, he decided to go for the third frame.
With Xu Ze's fingers lightly, a dream wedding song slid out happily with his slender fingers.
At this time, the Bai Shao and Miss Zhang Yuan over there, accompanied by Manager Wang, were thinking about which piano to want.
These four pianos, this Zhang Yuan has also tried them, and among these four pianos, she also likes the white Steinway in Xu Ze's hand very much.
But the price of this white Steinway, after she just asked, it was very high, more than 2.8 million, so she was a little hesitant, in a few pianos, in her opinion are extremely perfect, but the first one is only more than 1.3 million, and the second one is only 2.1 million, but this white one is so expensive...
And asked this manager Wang, there is only this white spot here, if you want other white, but it must be customized, it takes more than a month.
So at this time, she was thinking about it, after all, these millions are not a small number, so after thinking about it, she basically put her intention to the second plane, she can still get about two million, for a white one, spend more than 700,000 more, but it is very unworthy.
After hearing that Miss Zhang Yuan confirmed that she wanted a second flight, Manager Wang nodded in response, and while explaining that Xiaomei was going to notify someone to send the piano, he watched this Zhang Yuan take out the checkbook and write a check.
This Zhang Yuan had just opened the check, but at this time, Xu Ze's dream wedding happened to come; Listening to this beautiful and cheerful sound of the piano, everyone couldn't help but look towards Xu Ze.
Seeing Xu Ze sitting in front of the piano, his waist was straight, setting off the white piano and even dazzling, and at the same time, with the beautiful and cheerful piano sound, Miss Zhang Yuan listened to it with a fascinated face.
Looking at the white piano, I became more and more reluctant...
The Bai Shao next to him looked at Zhang Yuan's intoxicated eyes, but his face sank, but this beauty was not good at making a sound.
After Xu Ze played for a while, he also felt very satisfied with this piano, so he stood up and smiled at this Xiaoling: "Okay... Then I'm going to have this one."
Seeing that Xu Ze really wanted this fight, Xiao Ling happily responded, and then invited Xu Ze to sit down on the sofa on the side, and then ran over here at a trot, and said excitedly to Manager Wang: "Manager... Mr. Xu decided to buy this white Steinway..."
"Huh? Good... I'll come here" Hearing Xiaoling's words, this Manager Wang is also happy, this Steinway and Sons couldn't sell one in a month or two in the past, but he didn't expect to do two big business in one day today, it seems that today is really a good day.
The Zhang Yuan next to him heard that Xu Ze was going to buy the white Steinway, and at this time his face couldn't help showing a trace of reluctance, but thinking that it would cost 700,000 more, he also sighed-
Two in one and two shifts, there is one shift around twelve o'clock.
