Following.

Fu Tiao had just woken up from his sleep, washed up a little by the pool, and when he was about to practice, he suddenly remembered that today was Sunday, and if he couldn't practice, there would be complaints from neighbors, and he couldn't help sighing.

He and his agent had talked all the way from Frankfurt to Berlin the previous evening, and Zimmering had sent him back to his home.

The two made an appointment to see their new house at nine o'clock this morning.

Therefore, Fu Tiao could only sigh helplessly, lay down in the recliner he had newly bought, drilled very comfortably, and after finding the most comfortable angle for himself, he reached out and clicked on the gramophone on the side, and began to be in a daze.

The sound of the piano flows from the gramophone.

This is a very old record, which Fu Tiao searched for in the thrift market.

A record of Horowitz when he played it.

The sound quality of the record is not particularly good, and there will even be a little bit of sizzle, which makes the music not so real.

But you can still hear Horowitz's control of the music, his control of the music, and his interpretation of the aesthetics very clearly.

Fu also clearly understood why the previous group would call Horowitz the god of the piano.

Probably only a person like Horowitz can really be regarded as dominating an entire era.

Even if it's just from this kind of low-quality records that are rummaging and rummaging in the thrift market, you can still hear Horowitz's almost supernatural strength back then.

Fu Tiao just sank into the sofa, looking at the snow-white ceiling above his head, listening to the inferior records that were rattling in his ears, and his mood was extremely calm.

It even feels like I've entered an ethereal state.

I don't think about anything, I just enjoy life and music.

The music is euphemistic, and the room is warm, which makes people even a little drowsy.

Everything is so beautiful.

Until this state is interrupted by a ringtone.

Fu Tiao pulled himself out of the sofa with reluctance and difficulty, walked quickly to his desk, picked up the mobile phone on the score, and connected the phone.

Zimmerin's voice came from the phone, as Fu had expected.

"Hello? Dior? I'm downstairs with you now, hurry down, and we'll go to your new studio now. ”

"Oh......"

Fu Tiao said honestly, walked to the window and looked down, and found that Zimmerlin's car yesterday was indeed parked downstairs as he said.

So he could only sigh, went back to his room, put on the trench coat he had prepared in advance, and went downstairs.

When he got downstairs, he realized that Zimmerlin was not the only one standing downstairs at this moment, but ...... Two people.

In addition to Zimmerin, a German girl with long blond hair tied into a ponytail was standing beside him.

It seems that because the weather is very cold, she wears a very thick dress.

The whole person was almost completely shrunk inside the jacket.

However, when she saw Fu Tuo, her eyes still lit up, and she took two steps forward excitedly, stretched out her hand, and was about to say something, but she found that she was wearing gloves, so she quickly turned her back and pulled the gloves down, revealing her slender white fingers, and stretched out her hand.

"Hello, I'm Rebecca! Fu ......"

When she said this place, she couldn't help but look at Zimmerlin beside her, and after seeing the other party's nod of approval, she continued.

"Dior, Fu Dior, can I call you that?"

"Of course, you can just call me Dior."

Fu Tiao nodded, reaching out and gently shaking her palm.

Her palms were very cold, like ice holes, and she couldn't feel the slightest warmth.

And she also seemed to feel that her hand was frozen to Fu Diao, so after just shaking Fu Diao lightly, she quickly withdrew it and put it in her gloves.

She sighed a little embarrassedly and said to Fu.

"That...... I'm sorry, my fingers are a little cold. ”

"No, it's fine."

Fu Tuo waved his hand, looked at Zimmerlin who was standing on the side and laughed happily, and asked him.

"She's ......"

"Rebecca, our independent music manager at Deutsche Grammophone, has the qualifications to bring independent musicians, and today I called her because of what I told you yesterday."

Zimmerlin took two steps forward, stretched out his hand to Fu Tiao, and said, "Where's your car?" The car keys were given to me. ”

"This."

Fu Tiao gave Zimmerin the car keys, watched Zimmerlin unlock his car, and drove it in front of the two.

Rebecca opened the back door of the car for Fu Diao, and after letting Fu Diao in, she honestly sat in the co-pilot's seat, turned her head to look at Fu Diao, and added to Fu Diao.

"Because Mr. Zimmerin told me about you about Monsieur Dior, and he posted the news in our internal news collection that you are going to set up your own independent studio, so I signed up, hoping to give you a job ......"

With that, she looked at Zimmerlin.

Zimmerlin was starting the car, looking at the car's almost full fuel tank, snorting twice, and explaining.

"Well, yes, as Rebecca said, she signed up, I chose among all the candidates for a long time, and finally I chose Rebecca, who had the highest score in the house, and she was not as ...... as she appeared to be Uh, weak? Rebecca? May I say that? ”

"Yes, you can." Rebecca nodded.

Seeing Rebecca agree, Zimmerlin continued:

"Rebecca doesn't seem to be a particularly qualified agent, and it feels like she's not going to be able to do anything, but in fact, she's been able to bring out several excellent second-tier musicians on her own, and she has been a co-agent for first-tier musicians, and she has a lot of experience compared to others, so I chose her to be your current agent."

"What about you?" Fu Tiao couldn't help but ask when he heard this: "Aren't you going to be my agent?" ”

"Of course I'm still your agent."

Zimmerlin spoke without the slightest hesitation, and said directly.

"It's just that because of my senior agent at Deutsche Grammophone, I am not particularly good at leaving Deutsche Grammophone directly, and my contract says that even if I leave, I can't go to the relevant industry to do my own work, so there is no way to take you when you leave Gramophone...... But! ”

When he said this, he raised his eyebrows at Fu Tiao and said with a smile.

"But I can let my subordinates leave to take you, and at the same time I still have a contractual relationship with her, and after the general connection, although I don't take you, I actually still have a connection with you, and I can still be regarded as your agent."

Fu Tiao felt a little vague when he heard this, what was and what was not, it felt so strange.

But after thinking about it, he didn't pay much attention to it.

He probably couldn't figure out these things on the contract, and since Zimmerlin said that he would continue to serve as his agent, then continue to count it like this.

Fu Tiao put these things behind him and said to Zimmerlin.

"Well, I kind of get it, it's Rebecca in a nutshell, and she's my agent now? The two of you are co-ordinating? ”

"No, no, no, to be precise, I should be Mr. Zimmerin's assistant!"

Rebecca immediately blushed and waved her hand in denial, and said to Fu: "Nominally, I am your agent, but in fact, I am responsible for handling the tasks assigned by Mr. Zimmerlin, and when Mr. Zimmerlin thinks that I can act independently as Mr. Dior's agent, I will be qualified to act independently." ”

She said this and added.

"Or you think, too."

"Oh, that's it."

Fu Tiao nodded thoughtfully, then looked at Zimmerlin and asked him.

"You told me yesterday that if I build a new studio, I'll get my taxes off if I recruit staff, right? How much am I going to give her? ”

"To be precise, it's a tax deduction for your company."

Zimmerlin waved his hand and said to Fu: "Her basic salary is 4,000 euros before tax, which you need to bear, but some of this money can go from the company tax, not much, and some other expenses to tell you back, the most important thing for us now is to go to the studio I found for you." ”

He pointed to the road ahead.

As the trio drove their cars, it was already clear that they had arrived in the more remote area of Spandau from the animal garden area in the city centre.

It is home to another of Berlin's main fires, with parks, waterways, castles, museums and many other tourist attractions.

Because it is so far from the city center, more than 20 kilometers away, it can even be regarded as a new urban area.

And after coming here, the surrounding scenery has obviously become too depressed, and everything seems so deserted.

Under such a deserted street, the three of them drove to the villa area of Spandau.

Compared to the more dense villas near the street, the villas on this side seem to be much more spacious.

Zimmerin drove from house to villa and eventually came to the front of a very modern park.

In front of a large meadow, there is information about the house on the rental and sale website.

Priced at 2.2 million euros.

It covers an area of 1,000 square meters, with a living area of 400 square meters and a storage area of 120 square meters.

It is a very standard price of a luxury house in the suburbs, no more and no less.

Fu Tiao was stunned when he looked at this house price, and couldn't help but start calculating his worth, and he hesitated for a while.

It seems that he only has a total of about 3 million euros, and now he is directly down to 2 million euros?

Isn't there something ...... you have? Too extravagant?

However, before Fu Tune could think about it, Zimmerlin whispered in Fu Tune's ear.

"You can offset a portion of your taxes"

With that, Fu Tiao's heart relaxed, and he quietly followed Zimmerlin to the vicinity of the house.

As I said earlier, this is a very modern house.

A lot of glass illuminates the whole house.

There is also a small garden with deck chairs and a round table.

Looking at the smooth grass, you can fully imagine the softness of lying on it in the sun in winter.

In the summer, everyone gathers in the garden for a barbecue.

"Don't worry, wait until I open the door before making a decision."

Zimmerlin patted Fu Tu and told him to follow his own pace, to the door of the villa, and after taking out a key from under a certain flower pot by the door, he pushed the door open.

Wow!

After Fu Tiao followed Zimmerin into the door, he realized that the garden was only a corner.

This room is the real comfort.

Gentle sunlight poured in through the window and fell on the pale yellow floor.

You don't even see a trace of dust.

Every detail you can see with the naked eye is so perfect.

You won't find any loopholes.

Except that the room was a little too empty and there was not a single piece of furniture, everything else was almost to the extreme.

However, this is still not the extreme.

After Zimmerlin walked around the villa with Fu Tiao, it was obvious that he did not stay in it, but mysteriously took Fu Tiao and Rebecca to the entrance of the basement.

He looked at Fu Tuo and said happily.

"Dior, you can't imagine what is hidden under this room."

"A room full of expensive drinks? Or a collection of famous paintings? Gemstone and diamond rings? Or gold-iron ore? ”

Fu Tiao was in a good mood and couldn't help but joke at Zimmerlin.

Who knew that Zimmerlin shook his hand with a smile and said to Fu.

"No, it's not that, these are pediatrics, you can follow me down and have a look."

With that, he reached out and opened the door, turning on the light on the side.

After the gentle yellow soft light covered everything in the basement, the things in the basement appeared in front of Fu Tuo.

One......

Huge underground space with irregular walls.

It can almost have a height of five or six meters, and the length and width can probably be more than ten meters, and the total area Fu Diao estimates that there will be no problem with a hundred square meters!

It's a standard basement.

However, the basement is certainly not the surprise that Zimmerlin said to Fu Tuo, so the surprise must be ......

"I found that the contractor had done a special soundproofing treatment in the basement, and the sound in the basement could not be transmitted, so I specially tried some more penetrating sounds, but there was still no way to penetrate!"

When he spoke of this place, he couldn't help but laugh meaningfully.

"Normally, this place should be for those who like to play special games, such a large basement, how many large toys can be placed, how many blood-pumping games can be played!"

"How to play? What? Playing games? Fu Diao didn't understand: "Open an e-sports stadium below?" Shouldn't it be enough, right? ”

"Esports ......"

Zimmerlin's expression froze suddenly, he looked Fu up and down, couldn't help but gasp, coughed lightly, skipped the topic directly, and continued to speak.

"It's definitely not e-sports, but since you don't understand, then you don't care about these things, what I actually want to say is that this place can just be used as your recording studio, because there is a special acoustic design, so a lot of the second process can be omitted."

He walked down with Fu Tiao, pointed to everything around him and said slowly.

"Remember what I told you yesterday? Is that the contract Steinway & Sons signed with you? Did you bring it? ”

"Hmm."

Fu Tiao nodded, took out a contract from his pocket, and handed it to Zimmerin.

"Steinway & Sons signed me for endorsement contract, I became their Steinway Artist, and at the same time I could use their Steinway for free while I practiced everywhere, what's wrong?"

"Actually, Steinway and Sons were lazy before."

Zimmerin smiled and pulled another contract from his pocket with the words "Confidential" written on it.

"This is a confidential contract for Steinway & Sons Steinway artists, normally Steinway & Sons needs to design an exclusive piano for their Steinway & Sons artists, but because of time, many artists in the back do not have this honor, that is, Lang Liangyue successfully won it once."

"Recently, Steinway & Sons approached us and said that he wanted to make you a piano alone, and if you could, I hope you could take that piano around the world and perform."

"At the same time, they can give us a discounted price for their high-end flagship piano."

"I want to ......"

Zimmerin looked at the basement, then at Fu Tiao, and said with a smile.

"I think this basement should be able to fill up with them, and not only that, but we can also put down flagship pianos from other places if you want!"

"Steinway and Sons are more upright, I think I am the big brother of the piano world, but other people don't think so, but the people on Yamaha's side have been contacting me, hoping to send you a piano!"

"So, if you settle on this house, I can contact them and have a detailed business contract with them to see if I can turn this basement into a perfect, ready-to-use, music recording studio!"

Fu Tiao didn't speak, but walked around the basement.

The basement is empty, but it's clear that there's a special treatment for the sound, and everything you make in this place doesn't have a particularly noisy echo.

Obviously, this is the prototype of a perfect recording studio, and it just needs to continue to spend some money and completely dress it up.

He can even let those people from music companies set up several different recording studios in this place, and each recording studio has a piano in it, and different pianos bring different characteristic styles, and his future recordings can completely choose the piano according to the style of the work.

Unlike when I first came into contact with different pianos, I may still cringe because of the uncontrollable piano at that time, and choose the most moderate Steinway.

But now, I have perfect control over all the pianos!

Therefore, after thinking for a while, Fu Tiao nodded slowly.

"Okay, that's it!"

Ask for a 1000 monthly pass, boom
