Chapter 192, Breaking the Bone Price
Bai Lu is a man of action, and when he says to buy a piano today, he will definitely not wait until the next day, and if he wants to buy it, he will buy the best, and the miscellaneous ones will not be considered at all.
After checking on the Internet, there is really a Steinway and Sons seller in the city, and this is the only one in the city.
According to the address to the place, it is a bottom store in the downtown business district, the store is very large, the main piano brand is a domestic brand, of course, it also acts as an agent for some foreign brands, Steinway and Sons only have two here, and they are all second-hand, an S155 performance piano, the original price is more than 800,000, this second-hand is only 280,000, and there is an L180, the original price is more than 1 million, this 350,000.
"Can you try it?" Bai Lu doesn't mind buying second-hand, and he can afford to buy a new one, but he is a beginner, and it is completely enough to buy a second-hand one, according to Fu Lin's meaning, it is enough to buy a domestic one for twenty or thirty thousand, but Bai Lu doesn't think so, beginners are beginners, and whether or not to buy a good piano is completely different things, even if he learns and doesn't want to learn, his daughter can learn when she grows up. As long as the tone is good, it doesn't matter if it's second-hand.
"Of course." The boss took the two up to the second floor.
After all, these two Steinways and Sons are also the treasures of his store, and when the boss heard that he wanted to buy a Steinway, he hurriedly ran over to receive them in person.
Bai Lu didn't know the piano, Fu Lin did, and after getting the boss's consent, he sat down and played.
"The sound is good." Fu Lin tried both pianos and said, "The condition is quite new, and the piano is well maintained." ”
The boss smiled and said, "That's for sure, these two are the treasures of our town store, and I maintain them myself...... Are you Mr. Fu Linfu? ”
"Recognized?" Fu Lin smiled, took off his hat and mask, there was no one upstairs, and it was really a little hot in this room. "Hello, it's me, I'm accompanying a friend to buy a piano."
"Oh, it's you." The boss was pleasantly surprised. "Hello Mr. Fu, I just said that I look very much like you, and my voice is like ...... Teacher Fu, I like you so much, I will order your songs as soon as I arrive at KTV, and I will order them as soon as I arrive. ”
Fu Lin also laughed: "As soon as you go to KTV, order me?" ”
"That's not ...... Hey, no, it's your song. The boss laughed twice. Can I take a picture with you? Don't worry, I'll leave it at home by myself, and I won't hang it in the store. ”
"Yes, why can't you take a group photo." Fu Lin said. "It's okay for you to hang up in the store, but well, do you have to give us a discount on this piano?"
"Fight, absolutely fight, it's no problem to break a bone." The boss asked Bai Lu magnificently. "Which one do you like?"
"Let's do it." Bai Lu pointed to the L180 and said.
"I'll sell this for 350,000." The boss said. "In this way, I don't fight a penny, I take as much as I take, 270,000! Really, I have all the bills, and I lied to you that I was a puppy. ”
"It's really broken." Bai Lu also smiled, this boss is a little interesting. "Don't be so ruthless, you also use money for this maintenance, 300,000 yuan, okay?"
"Hey, okay." The boss rubbed his hands. "Do you think I'll send it to you, or will you find someone yourself?"
"You can find someone, and I'll give you as much money as it gets."
"That's fine." The boss hurriedly called the proprietress to serve tea and pour water, ran out to issue a ticket, and gave various small things such as a piano bench, a piano cover, a keyboard cloth, related books, a metronome, etc., and promised to deliver it to the place before six o'clock.
Sent Fu Lin back to the hotel, and went to pick up Qiao Xiaoqiao, just came out of the gym, and received a delivery call, Bai Lu asked him to wait for more than ten minutes, saying that he would arrive soon.
When I arrived at the gate of the villa area, a truck was parked next to it, and without the owner's consent, outsiders couldn't get in if they wanted to.
Bai Lu registered at the door and drove in with the truck.
When the workers moved the piano in and set it up, Bai Lu wanted to give money, only to know that the boss had already paid the freight and transportation fees.
"Boom!"
Qiao Xiaoqiao pressed one finger on the piano key: "The sound is so good, why do you go out and buy a piano?" Will you talk? ”
Bai Lu said about going to KTV with Fu Lin to sing in the afternoon: "Even if I don't want to talk about it, our daughter can talk about it in the future, how good...... By the way, I'm going to pick up my daughter? ”
"Let's go together."
The two walked to pick up their daughter, and as soon as they entered the house, they saw the little girl standing in the walker chasing the bean bag all over the living room, and the bean bag was chased so much that she jumped up the stairs and ran to the second floor, and the little girl had no choice, so she had to give up.
The little thing is one year old, and now it can stand up, but it still can't walk by itself, Liu Jinnian specially bought a walker, and he ran fast when he stood in it.
Bean bags are a bit exaggerated, since living in the big villa, Liu Jinnian is used to it, all kinds of cat food and canned cat food are all the best, and he deliberately cleaned up a guest bedroom for it as his own room, which is full of all kinds of toys and cat climbing frames, this guy's weight is now fifteen pounds! Yes, a full fifteen pounds! Like a big orange furball.
"Mom, you can't feed bean bags all the time, they're all fat like that." Bai Lu sighed. "Gotta lose weight."
"How much can it eat, and can it make me poor?" Liu Jinnian glanced at Bai Lu.
Bai Lu was speechless, when there was no Bai Qiaoqiao and Doubao, he was a treasure in the palm of his mother's hand, since he had a little girl and a cat, his status in the family has plummeted visibly.
"It's not a question of eating poor or not, animals are the same as people, as soon as they get fat, all kinds of indicators are high."
"It's okay, I'll take care of it." Liu Jinnian didn't care. "Originally, a kitten wouldn't live for many years, and it wouldn't be good for people to eat."
After eating, Bai Lu and Qiao Xiaoqiao took their daughters home, the little guy slept a lot during the day, and he didn't sleep at night, Bai Lu gave her a big horse to climb all over the living room, lying on her stomach, the little guy was attracted by the piano, after all, there were more new things in the house.
"Come, Daddy will play the piano for you." Bai Lu sat down with the girl in her arms, untied the cover, pressed her fingers on the keys, and with the sound of ding ding dong, the little girl was so happy that she gurgled happily, and stretched out her hand to press the keys, but she didn't have much energy, and she couldn't press it at all.
Just after Qiao Xiaoqiao took a bath, Bai Lu smiled: "I just said that I bought the right piano, right?" Our little baby is interested in it, well, we have to find a teacher tomorrow. ”
Qiao Xiaoqiao took the child from Bai Lu's hand, sat down, and said with a smile: "How old is she, she can't understand what she says, so she will learn the piano?" ”
"The teacher found it for me." Bai Lu said hesitantly. "You can't buy it and put it in the dust, can you?"
"I think you're only two and a half days fresh." After all, a quilt has been rolling for several years, and Bai Lu knows what kind of character Qiao Xiaoqiao knows too well. "How many days have you been driving that car? Who swore that it would be opened? ”
"Isn't it snowing, not suitable for driving a sports car?" Bai Lu smiled and made excuses. "It's not suitable for driving in winter, but it's suitable for driving in summer, and I'll drive it in summer."
Bai Lu went to take a bath, and after taking a bath, he coaxed his daughter to play for more than an hour before coaxing the little guy to sleep.
When I woke up, it was already seven o'clock the next morning, Qiao Xiaoqiao had already gotten up and was cooking breakfast downstairs, and her daughter was still sleeping on her back in the crib next to her.
After eating breakfast and cleaning up, Bai Lu first sent the child to Liu Jinnian, and then sent Qiao Xiaoqiao to the gym, and when he got home, he hugged his mobile phone and began to look for a piano teacher.
The piano private lesson is really not cheap, the ordinary study class is one hundred and twenty-one hours, the door-to-door private lesson is more expensive, the lowest one hour is two hundred and six, Bai Lu looked for a long time, and chose a teacher who taught piano in a normal college, it was a female teacher, who looked like she was in her thirties, and looked at the introduction but was a long list, and won a lot of domestic awards. Of course, the price is really not cheap, 800 per class.
Bai Lu contacted him, and the teacher said that he could come over in the morning, and Bai Lu gave the address.
Just after half past nine, Bai Lu received a call from the doorman, and after confirming that it was the piano teacher, the doorman let him go.
"Hello, Mr. Bai, my name is Wei Xinran."
"Hello Mr. Wei, please come in, it's cold outside, right?"
"Well, it's a little cold when the snow melts." Wei Xinran was surprised when she received the address given by Bai Lu, no wonder some people were willing to spend 801 classes to ask her to teach, people who can live in this villa area, 800 yuan an hour is no different from 8 cents for them.
"Teacher Wei, sit down first, what do you drink?"
"Plain water is fine." Wei asked happily. "Don't you have to change your shoes?"
"No, just step on it...... The piano is over there, do you want to see the piano first? ”
"Steinway?" Seeing the black and shiny grand piano, Wei Xinran couldn't help but speed up his pace. "It's L180, right? This piano is more than a million, and we don't have a Steinway in our school. ”
"Second-hand, bought for 300,000."
Wei Xinran tried the piano: "The tone is very good, the maintenance is in place, Mr. Bai, you said on the phone that you are a beginner?" Can you tell us about your situation? ”
Bai Lu handed the poured boiled water to Wei Xinran, spread his hands and said: "I don't understand at all, I'm the kind of beginner who learned it first, I don't even know which key is what sound, you have to teach it from scratch." ”
"Then let's learn the staff first, and learn about the simple notations."
"Teacher, you have the final say."
An hour passed quickly, and Bai Lu was still very satisfied with Wei Xinran's teaching, at least he knew the staff in an hour, and successfully played the little star with one finger, which was already great for him as a piano novice.
I made an appointment with Wei Xinran for class tomorrow, and as soon as I sent her out of the door, the phone rang.
"Isn't this Mr. Zhang?" Bai Lu laughed. "Why does Mr. Zhang have time to call me? What are the important indications? ”
"What are you doing?" Zhang Xiao said weakly. "Is there anything tomorrow? It's okay, come with me to find something. ”
"Nothing to do? Looking for something? ”
"My mother let me cheat, I'm afraid that I won't be able to make trouble alone, so I have to take you, a local tyrant, to suppress the field."
