Chapter 11: Sunny Day
Speaking of handing out flyers, I used to distribute flyers when the part-time Japanese band performed, but at that time it was aimed at young people, and this time it was the first time for me to distribute flyers to middle-aged and elderly people, and I took the No. 39 bus, and about 20 minutes later, our group came to the Sunshine Plaza in W City.
Zhang Zhiqiang first asked me to watch how my colleagues were sending and observing them, and then I also learned from them to find the elderly people passing by in the square.
"Hello uncle and aunt! Do you want to know about travel, two-day tour, including food and accommodation... Aunt! ”
Sent to no less than a dozen people, no one is willing to stop to pick up my leaflet, I have some air, although the order may not be able to become a customer, but even the flyer can not be sent, is not even a little hope?
Frustrated, I walked to the corner of the square with a thick stack of leaflets, found a bench to sit down, and lit a cigarette alone. In the corner not far away, there are two young people singing, one is playing the piano and singing, and the other is playing tambourine on the side.
I remember that when I was still in school, our band would occasionally go out to the street to sing, Xia Qing was the lead singer, and I would sing a song or two with Lao Kang and the bass player, and we didn't share the money we earned that day, but when it was relatively late, we used the money we received to eat barbecue and drink beer.
At this time, the display screen above the square played the promotional video of the Midi Music Festival, and many young people in the square turned their eyes to it, and it didn't take long for each member of the "Piano Sound Band" to play a video of each member of the solo section, and many friends who like the music festival are exclaiming below, it's so cool, you must buy tickets to watch the music festival.
It may be that President Han Yishen also participated in the performance, Qinsheng Media Company has really made a lot of money, bus stops, subways, and squares with a lot of people have advertised for this mystery music festival, it may be that Han Yishen is chasing Xia Qing, in order to make her popular, no matter what the purpose is, it has nothing to do with me anyway.
After the crowd gradually dispersed, I came to the two people who were singing, they were packing up the piano box, I scanned the code, Alipay transferred 10 yuan, and the guy who collected the piano box stood up and said to me: "Thank you for your support!" ”
I smiled and didn't say anything to leave, when suddenly he asked me, "Dude, I think you look so familiar... I remembered, aren't you the guitarist of the Yunji band, I went to see your band when it was performing in the college town, I was from the university next door to you! ”
"Ah, buddy, you won't be the wrong person, will you!"
I took the Liqun cigarette he handed me and gave him the travel flyer, "Look at this in my hand, haha, I look like a person who can play music!" ”
"It shouldn't be! It looks too similar, doesn't it? “
The guy scratched his head and wondered, "No, no, no, no, it's not right, it's your Yunji band lead singer Xia Qing who just played the promotional video, let me look at your fingers..."
He picked up my left hand and looked at it, and said with a smile: "Hehe, that's right, I'll just say I'm not wrong, the calluses on my fingers have betrayed you, hello, you can call me Lao Wan, I'm just a senior this year, basically no classes, come out and sing on the street to make some money!" ”
"Dude, you're really witty... Just call me Yunqian. ”
Anyone who plays the guitar knows that the longer you practice, the thicker the calluses on your fingers get, and after a moment, I muttered, "But now I'm not a guitarist... Yunji has also disbanded! ”
"There is no feast in the world that will never be dissolved... It's normal, but your lead singer Xia Qing is mixing really well now, and the sound of the piano is a big media company, so it's estimated that in the future! If you have a chance to become a big star, then you... Do you plan to continue playing music in the future? ”
"I don't know, I shouldn't have it!"
"Why?"
"For life!"
I shook the leaflet in my hand, Lao Wan was silent, he seemed to have understood my words, not everyone can have the same opportunity as Xia Qing, the most important thing for media companies is people who can play musical instruments, and what is lacking is only people who bring greater commercial value to the company.
I gave up the opportunity to sign, but I don't regret it, and if I had to do it again, I would have turned it down.
"Lao Wan, can you borrow your piano and equipment to play and sing a song?"
I put down the leaflet, breaking the silence, and I was very happy to take the piano back out for me, and he picked up the African drum from the friend who came with me, ready to beat the rhythm for me.
"The story of the little yellow flower...... Once upon a time, there was someone who loved you for a long time, but the wind gradually blew the distance so far......."
This Jay Chou's "Sunny Day" can indeed make many people recall many past experiences, but some fate, just like the lyrics, was gradually blown away by the wind. It didn't take long for some passers-by, as well as girls, and some people holding mobile phones as if they were recording, I haven't performed like this for a long time, and after playing a song, I feel refreshed, which may be the feeling I am looking for in my heart.
After the end, Lao Wan's Alipay arrived again, he invited me to go to dinner with them, but I politely refused, after all, my leaflet was not sent out, and I was not free to go, he was not reluctant, we left each other after WeChat.
When the mood is good, the working state is naturally good. This time I learned to be smart, when I met the target customer, I first walked up to him and nodded slightly to show a bow, and at the same time politely said hello, at this time I can stop the person than before the direct wooden send out a lot more, I see that I am willing to ask me I will explain to them next to them.
No wonder the ancients often said: "Etiquette must be demanded by people!" ”
It didn't take long for all the flyers in my hand to be distributed, and I don't expect everyone to become my customers, but it's better than not being able to send out a single one, what if I meet the one who just got interested? Selling this thing, sometimes it depends on a bit of luck, and some people just come across the same method.
"Yun Qian, you're all set! I have a little left..."
My colleague Tang Yun came to me and said, "Otherwise, you can help me send a little!" I invite you to a drink. ”
"Okay, no problem, Sister Tang!"
I smiled.

When I returned to the company, it was already more than 5 o'clock in the afternoon, it was time to get off work, I clocked in and went back to my rental house in Osmanthus Lane, I made a phone call to ask Huang Bin about the interview, he said that the interview had been done, and he would come to the company tomorrow to start training.
It's a bit hilarious to feel like a former colleague is now a colleague again.
Recently, I have planned to do some side hustles, because I get off work early, and I am idle, if I really want to win the stage by my own strength, then I must also have a team, an occasion, and an opportunity.
If I were only an ordinary salesman and commute to and from work step by step every day, I might not be able to catch up with Xia Qing for the rest of my life, but what should I do, life, ideals, I am now tortured by them and am almost unconscious.
