The piano club occupies the entire three floors, with original wooden floors, soft crystal chandeliers, and European-style decoration. Although it is called a piano club, it is actually more than just a musical instrument. There are basically all musical instruments sold on the market here, but there are only a few of them. Pianos are the most. Next is the guitar.
The piano and the guitar are known as the two big brothers in the musical instrument industry. One takes the high-end route and is loved by the nobility and petty bourgeoisie. One takes the civilian route, a must-have artifact for wandering singers.
There were quite a lot of people in the hall, about a dozen of them, not counting the people staying in the soundproof room.
Pei Nanman took out his membership card, asked the front desk lady to swipe the card, and asked, "Is there any free pianist in the clubhouse? I want to hire a tutor."
The lady at the front desk was beautiful and stylishly dressed. Several years of social experience had sharpened her eyes. She took a quick glance at Pei Nanman and paused for a moment on her wrist. Never judge a person's inner self by simple appearance. The real local tyrant is hidden in the inconspicuous details, such as the watch on her right wrist, the Cartier rose gold ladies watch, this watch is so famous, as long as girls who love luxury goods, almost all of them have seen it in magazines. Because it is a limited edition, the current price is about 600,000 US dollars, which is equivalent to more than 4 million yuan.
This is a super rich man.
"Please wait a moment, I will inform the manager."
Under the charm of money, the front desk lady smiled sincerely and sweetly.
Taking advantage of his free time, Qin Ze took out his mobile phone to read the novel. Pei Ziqi leaned over to read it, and said disdainfully, "I've read this book, and the logic is fine, but the routine is too old, the plot is too watery, and the author has no brains. I don't even care about you."
Qin Ze glanced at her: "Come here, I'll give you the pen."
Pei Ziqi stopped talking.
After a while, the receptionist came out with a middle-aged man in a well-fitting suit. He had a round face and a big belly, a very standard image of a middle-aged man. The professional smile on his face became a little more eager after seeing Pei Nanman's watch.
"Ms. Pei, this is Manager Zhang of our club." The front desk lady introduced the identities of the two: "Manager Zhang, this is Ms. Pei, a member of our club."
Although Pei Nanman is a member here, Manager Zhang obviously has no impression of her. It can be seen that Pei Nanman doesn't come to the piano club very often.
"Miss Pei wants to hire a music teacher?" Manager Zhang led Pei Nanman and the three to sit down on the leather sofa in the lobby and asked, "What musical instrument is it?"
Some teachers with music majors not only teach guitar, but also teach piano, cello, violin and so on. Of course, their clubs can't be so careless. The faculty must be excellent, and the business will be good if they have a good reputation.
"Piano!" Pei Nanman smiled, and took the hot tea from the front desk lady.
When he heard the piano, Manager Zhang frowned slightly, as if he had something to hide.
Pei Nanman said with a smile: "There is no rush on time. Manager Zhang can list our requirements and contact me when a piano teacher is interested. Salary is not a problem either."
"To be honest, there will be an international piano competition in October, and the Music Association is focusing on inspecting talents. At the end of August, there will be a piano competition in the circle, and top-notch teachers don't have much time." : "However, there are some excellent pianists practicing in the practice room today, let me ask for you."
"Thank you." Pei Nanman said with a smile.
When Manager Zhang left, Pei Nanman turned to Qin Ze and said, "I'm not sure what they say."
Qin Ze pondered for a moment, and realized clearly, "Sister Pei, who doesn't want to take a bite of this piece of fat."
Pei Nanman gave him an angry look, but she was extraordinarily charming.
Manager Zhang's performance was impeccable. When he heard about the hiring of a piano teacher, he showed a distressed expression just right. It was not obvious, but it was enough for Qin Ze and others to see. Followed by the mention of the International Piano Competition in October and the domestic piano competition in August, it is only to reveal a signal: there is a shortage of piano teachers.
Why do you want to do this, of course it is to pave the way for the price later. Piano teachers are not Chinese cabbage with clearly marked prices. Different reputations and different levels will naturally lead to different teaching prices. So this "negotiating price" is very important. If you negotiate well, you can make a lot of money.
Qin Ze reckoned that Manager Zhang used this set of rhetoric to every member who hired a pianist teacher. The only flaw was that he was too straightforward. When Pei Nanman asked for a "name", Manager Zhang changed the subject and immediately expressed the meaning that "although there are few people, the club happens to have an excellent pianist today". Unaware that it was the temptation in the Queen's words, as expected of Her Lady Queen, she was superior.
Pei Ziqi's cheeks puffed out angrily as he listened in a cloud.
Not long after, Manager Zhang came out, leading a man in a casual suit behind him. He was very young, less than 30 years old.
Manager Zhang showed great enthusiasm, "Let me introduce, this is a top pianist in China." He said to the young pianist, "Ms. Li, this Ms. Pei wants to hire a tutor."
Li Guowei was amazed by Pei Nanman at first glance. There are many women with beautiful appearance and exquisite facial features, but her fair skin reveals a healthy blush. There are no blackheads or acne marks. This is a woman with real ice skin and beautiful skin. . However, the looming majestic temperament between Pei Nanman's brows made Li Guowei dare not show too much covetous color.
The second person I saw was Pei Ziqi, a delicate and beautiful high school student, with a pink face unique to girls, and a figure like a "willow branch that has sprouted out of tender buds". It will definitely make some uncles who like to eat tender grass a little harder.
The third eye was Qin Ze, but he didn't care, just glanced past.
Manager Zhang, as a "middleman", is very active in promoting "products". He said: "Ms. Pei, Teacher Li is very famous in the domestic piano circle. These are not fools, if you need, we can show proof."
Pei Nanman smiled and nodded.
Manager Zhang continued: "In addition, you know that he is one of the candidates for the International Piano Competition in October."
Li Guowei nodded slightly, his brows were full of pride.
"Very powerful." Pei Nanman also expressed satisfaction.
Seeing her like this, Manager Zhang looked slightly happy, "However, you get what you pay for, and the price will be higher. It's also because the good pianists don't have time recently."
Pei Ziqi interrupted: "Everyone has no time, how can he have time, isn't he a candidate?"
Li Guowei said: "First: the piano is the whole of my life. I am familiar with every key of it, just like I am familiar with my own hands and feet. I am familiar with hundreds of piano pieces, just like I am familiar with my own handwriting. Second, I do take time to prepare, so I only have three lessons a week, and each lesson is at most one hour. Third, I decide the teaching time, and if there is a piano activity, I can cancel the class.”
Pei Nanman frowned slightly.
Manager Zhang reminded: "It's really hard to find a good pianist now. Unless it's after October."
After chattering for a long time, all kinds of flattery, seeing Pei Nanman smiling and nodding, Manager Zhang finally said goodbye: "Ms. Pei, if you think it's good, we can talk about the price."
Pei Nanman still smiled gently: "Please tell me."
Manager Zhang and Li Guowei looked at each other and smiled together. The former said, "Teacher Li's price is usually 1,500 per class. There has been an increase recently, because of the international piano competition. 2,000 per class."
Qin Ze was speechless secretly, damn, three classes a week is 6,000 oceans. Twenty-four thousand a month.
Holy shit.
The piano is really worthy of being the king of musical instruments, but Qin Ze remembered that when he was a child, Qin Baobao learned the piano, and a lesson cost only 40 yuan. Damn, this inflation is really terrible.
My sister was also versatile when she was young, she could dance ballet and play the cello, but now she has left for Java.
Pei Nanman put on a calm attitude of "I'm a local tyrant and I don't care about money", and said with a smile, "There's no problem with the price."
The smiles on the faces of Manager Zhang and Li Guowei had just bloomed, and she said: "But I want to listen to Mr. Li's performance live. The young man next to me is also a piano master."
