"Yu Fan, come, take a look, this is our warehouse in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area, how is it, spectacular." Standing in a large warehouse with thousands of square meters and a completely steel structure, looking at the more than 100 pianos under the fluorescent lamp, Zhao Bao said a little smugly.

This is the warehouse of the Pearl River Piano Factory in this area, because it is not far from the river and the sea, so a few people came here after lunch.

The reason why the warehouse was chosen here is also because Jianghai City is near the sea, and there is a deep-water port, so the water transportation is relatively convenient.

"Well, it's pretty big." Looking at the large piano in front of him, Liu Yufan was also a little shocked. Those big guys are like soldiers waiting to be reviewed, standing there quietly, which is really eye-catching.

"Let's go, I'll take you over there to see the high-end piano warehouse, the things there are beautiful." Zhao Bao was like a big child showing his favorite toys to others, and he led the two people to the other side with some excitement.

The staff walked in front and opened a small door for them. After pushing open the door, there were dozens of grand pianos, presented in front of the eyes of several people.

Lao Huang is better, after all, he has been here to buy goods before, so he is not surprised by all this, Liu Yufan is a little surprised. Unlike the dusty upright pianos outside, every piano here has been wiped clean, and it can be seen that someone has often come to maintain it. The grand piano is the "aristocracy" of the piano, and the price is much more expensive than the ordinary upright practice piano, so naturally the treatment will be different.

Liu Yufan quietly walked through these pianos, looking at those pianos of different colors and exquisite shapes, and a strong desire to play rose in his heart.

In the most central position, there is a nine-foot piano with a black body, which is the largest in the grand piano, and the Yamaha in Liu Yufan's house is also this size, which cost him nearly 200,000 yuan. There is no price tag for this instrument, but for this size, it certainly won't be too low.

The other pianos were not equipped with a piano bench, but this one had a leather stool in front of it.

Liu Yufan pulled out the piano bench, sat down in front of the piano, and then looked sideways at Manager Zhao.

"Oh, let's play, it's okay, just play, hehe." Without waiting for Liu Yufan to speak, Zhao Bao would come to his senses. Bringing him here is to let him experience the Pearl River piano.

Coming to the piano, Zhao Bao said a little proudly, "This is the flagship product of our factory, the Pearl River Tian Lai series nine-foot performance piano, all the steel strings are imported from Germany, the process is also under the strictest control, and the tuning is also carried out by the most experienced master in our factory, Yu Fan, try this piano." ”

"Okay." Liu Yufan said with a smile, and then did not start playing immediately, but looked at the piano in front of him.

In the piano plate above the keys, Liu Yufan's figure is clearly reflected in it, like a mirror, and the portrait inside is not deformed in the slightest, which shows that the process treatment of the piano plate is very strict and in place.

The keys are fine and neat, especially the black keys, which are matte treatment, and Liu Yufan's hand gently caresses the keys, feeling a warm feeling, which is very comfortable.

Hands sink slightly, a soft, warm chord sounds, and the sound of the piano floods the air, as if it is doing mass, which makes people feel calm.

This is a C major chord, with both hands in the middle range, and the tone seems unhurried.

The left hand moved down slightly and sank again on the G chord, while the right hand moved slightly in place and played a G 46 chord.

Turning the am chord again, the music becomes softer and more beautiful.

The hands are slightly undulating, relying entirely on the "weight" of the forearm to play the piano, and this melody seems to be unhurried and very quiet. ..., Lao Huang and Manager Zhao, who were standing quietly next to the piano, also seemed to be infected by the sound of the piano, and the expressions on their faces became a little pious.

The sound gradually becomes lively, and some single notes are added to the chords, but the original melody is still the same. With the addition of variations, the musical image appears fuller.

C major third chord to g, then am, then em, then f, c, f, g...... An uncomplicated harmonic progression, but under Liu Yufan's hands, it became extremely vivid and beautiful.

Obviously, this is another song that no one has ever heard, different from the song "He is a pirate" that Liu Yufan played in the piano shop just now, this song is not violent at all, and the whole body is full of clean, transparent, and quiet flavor.

The right hand began a cheerful variation, and against the backdrop of the calm fully dissolved chords of the left hand, it was like a clear stream, singing joyfully......

The sound of the piano is sometimes cheerful, sometimes quiet, and Liu Yufan's hands are sometimes flexible and sometimes lazy on the keys, and the control of the dynamics is breathtaking.

A simple little tune, but the two of them have endless aftertastes. So much so that when Liu Yufan ended the music with a fine wheel finger, the two of them were still immersed in the beautiful music and couldn't extricate themselves.

It took a long time for the two of them to come back to their senses.

Lao Huang shook his head and smashed his mouth twice, and said with a smile: "Yu Fan, you play this song, it's really amazing, what kind of song is this, I only felt lonely today, you played two tunes in a row, but I haven't heard any of them." ”

"Yes, Yu Fan, although this piece is not as impactful as the one you played in the piano shop just now, it is endlessly memorable, it is really a good song." Manager Zhao also exclaimed.

"Hehe, Manager Zhao, Boss Huang, this piece is called "Canon", which is actually a variation of the etude, and there is nothing difficult." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

What he just played was the classic "Canon", which had been popular in the pop piano world for a long time. There are also many versions of this piece, the most classic of which is George. Winston played a version, and later generations adapted many more based on this version, as well as Canon in D major, and even a rock version of Canon, etc.

But the canon that Liu Yufan just played is basically close to the original, and some improvised changes have not hurt the muscles and bones of the original work, which can be regarded as a relatively regular variation. Because this version is also the version he prefers, he also feels that this version is a more perfect version in his heart, and there is no need to change it.

"Canon? It sounds so familiar, as if I had studied it when I was in school. But I haven't heard this song before. Lao Huang also studied music before, and when he heard Liu Yufan mention "Canon", he asked with some confusion.

"Hehe, Boss Huang, you remember correctly, Canon is actually not a piece, but a form of variation, its skeleton is a relatively fixed harmonic formula, but the player can freely decide what form of accompaniment according to the formula. You've heard Mozart's "Little Star Variations", it's actually similar to that. Liu Yufan explained with a smile.

"Oh, yes, I remember when you say that, but the variation you just made is so good that I guess a lot of people will like it." Lao Huang said affirmatively.

He was right, and in later generations, the piano piece "Canon" was widely circulated among piano lovers, and basically anyone who liked the piano had heard or practiced this piece.

"Hehe, Yu Fan, you also played this Tian Lai just now, what do you think?" Manager Zhao asked with a smile.

"Yes, that's good. To be honest, the tone is quite unexpected, very clean, very vertical, although it doesn't sound beautiful like Yamaha, but it's expensive, and the keys are also very responsive, although a little hard, but the feel is still good, a good piano. Liu Yufan said very seriously. ..., Listening to Liu Yufan's words, Manager Zhao kept nodding his head. Liu Yufan said these points just now, which are basically very pertinent, and they know what the situation of the piano in their factory is. Although it is said that it is close to the level of second-tier brands, there is still a certain gap between those real second-tier products. The problems that Liu Yufan said just now are all technological problems, and they have done their best within their capabilities, but the backwardness of technology is not something that can be supplemented for a while.

"And would you like to speak for it?" Manager Zhao looked at Liu Yufan and asked.

"Manager Zhao, how much does this piano cost?" Liu Yufan didn't rush to answer Zhao Bao, but looked at him and asked a question.

"Oh, the retail guide price of this piano is 80,000 yuan, of course, the actual price of the piano store may be lower, about 6-70,000 yuan." Manager Zhao said quickly, these data are all recorded in his head.

"Wouldn't it, so cheap?" Hearing the price quoted by Manager Zhao, Liu Yufan said with some surprise.

You know, the Yamaha triangle in his house is of the same specification as this piano, but it takes him 200,000! When he experienced this piano just now, although some details were worse than Yamaha's, there was no big gap on the whole, and it should belong to the same grade piano, but what he didn't expect was that this piano was so cheap, almost only one-third of Yamaha's piano!

Seeing Liu Yufan's surprised appearance, Manager Zhao smiled a little self-deprecatingly and said, "Isn't it unexpected?" Oh, in fact, at this price, our factory basically doesn't make any money, no way, in order to open the market, we can only take the low-price strategy, otherwise there is no way to compete with those international brands. ”

Manager Zhao's tone was a little low, obviously helpless about such a fact.

Listening to Manager Zhao's words, Liu Yufan also felt a little sad, after all, it is China's own brand, and it is also a good brand in his impression, but he didn't expect it to be such a situation, he felt that he needed to do something for this brand.

"Manager Zhao, I decided to be the image endorsement of your piano." Liu Yufan looked at Zhao Bao and said sincerely.
