After leaving Delong Building, Lu Chen and Lu Xi took a taxi back to the studio.
Lu Xi asked curiously: "What's the matter with Director Wen? Why is he being so polite to you?"
She and Lu Chen came to EMI Company to sign the contract, and waited in the reception room after signing, and did not go to the audition room, so she didn't know what happened afterwards.
When Wen Zhiyuan sent the two out just now, he was extremely polite.
It can even be said to be flattering.
This made Lu Xi feel very strange, the attitude of the director of EMI's brokerage department had changed too much.
Lu Chen chuckled, and briefly explained the grievances between Wen Zhiyuan and Zhang Qiong.
This was what Wen Zhiyuan told Lu Chen himself.
After listening to it, Lu Xi suddenly realized: "It turns out that's the case. Others say that the workplace is dangerous. It's really..."
She couldn't help shaking her head.
Lu Chen has always been reluctant to sign with other big companies, and even declined the personal invitation of the music director of Feishi Records. At that time, she was somewhat confused. Now that I think about it, Lu Chen's choice is really too correct.
There is no way to compare EMI Company with Feishi Records, and the internal intrigue is so fierce. If she and Lu Chen join Feishi Records, she doesn't know what kind of situation she will face.
Although Lu Xi has a strong personality, he doesn't like to fight with others.
Although the studio opened by Lu Chen is weak, there is no such problem at all.
The premise is that he can earn that much money!
drop! drop!
Suddenly, Lu Xi's mobile phone in the small bag rang twice.
She took it out and looked at it, and immediately showed a joyful smile: "The money from EMI has arrived!"
"so fast?"
Lu Chen was also surprised. He and Lu Xi went out, and the money chased after them. Isn't the efficiency too high
The originally signed contract stipulated in the terms that the payment should be completed within three days.
Lu Xi smiled and said, "It seems that they attach great importance to you!"
If you don't pay attention to it, it is impossible for EMI's finance company to transfer the money to the account so quickly.
It must have been someone from the upper echelons who spoke.
Lu Chen smiled: "If they ask for songs in the future, then we have to raise the price again!"
It is undoubtedly right for him to stick to the strategy of high-priced premium products from the very beginning. Customers like EMI, as long as they taste the sweetness, will gradually increase the price later, and they can bear it like a frog boiled in warm water.
If the previous quotation is low, it is not good to raise it too high all of a sudden, and it is easy to damage your reputation.
Lu Xi was speechless.
She found that she couldn't see through her brother more and more.
drop! drop!
The phone rang again.
Lu Xi took a closer look and smiled again, more happily.
Lu Chen was stunned: "What?"
Lu Xi shook his phone and said triumphantly, "The bonus from Beijing Satellite TV has arrived, 1.4 million!"
Lu Chen won the championship of "Singing China". Although he gave up the 4 million so-called star nurturing fund, the total cash reward is still as high as 1.4 million, and it is after tax.
However, the money was not received immediately, and Satellite TV also needed to go through procedures.
Now that the account has arrived, it happens to be double happiness!
Lu Chen was even happier, and said without thinking: "Then transfer one million to Mom first, and let's go buy a car."
He shouted to the taxi driver in front, "Master, please take us to Jingguan Auto City."
Lu Xi couldn't laugh or cry: "Don't be so anxious, right?"
It's okay to send money to my mother, but I'm too anxious to buy a car now.
Lu Chen said with a smile: "Buying early and buying late is all about buying, and it's just right to buy now."
Since the establishment of the studio, several people have been recruited, and the daily work has gradually become busy. It is very inconvenient to travel without a car, and it also wastes time.
Time is money, he has long wanted to buy a car, and is just waiting for the bonus from Beijing Satellite TV to arrive.
Now that Lu Chen made up his mind, Lu Xi didn't object anymore.
After all, the studio relies entirely on him to make money, and now that he has earned so much money, buying a car is nothing.
Lu Xi thought for a while and said, "Then I'll call Li Feiyu. He used to work in a 4S shop, so he must know how to do it."
Lu Chen nodded: "Yeah!"
When the two arrived at Jingguan Motor City, Li Feiyu was already waiting at the gate.
The 4S store where he used to work was in the Auto City, he was definitely familiar with the way, and there was absolutely no reason for him to be tricked.
Seeing Lu Chen and Lu Xi, classmate Xiaofei ran over with a smile on his face, and asked impatiently: "Dachen, you are finally going to buy a car. Is there any car?"
He is Lu Chen's assistant, and the car he bought must be for him to drive.
Lu Chen said: "We don't need to buy a fancy car, not a luxury car, as long as it is economical and affordable."
"As for the price..."
He thought for a while and said, "About 200,000, please help me to see."
"Two hundred thousand?"
Li Feiyu scratched his head and said, "For this price, let's choose a domestically produced compact SUV, a gasoline-electric hybrid, with high state subsidies, not to mention fuel-efficient, and the configuration is equivalent to an imported car of 400,000 to 500,000 yuan."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "You are an expert and listen to you."
He took the driver's license test when he was 18 years old, and he has driven the family car. He likes cars but doesn't know much about them.
If you are just starting your business, you don't need to buy a good car, but you can't buy a bad car either.
The boutique of domestic cars should be a good choice.
Lu Xi said: "Then you go and pick first, and I'll come over after I go to the bank to transfer the money."
So they parted ways, and Lu Chen followed Li Feiyu around the Motor City to choose a car, visiting several stores in a row.
Finally, I came to the 4S shop of Zhonghua Automobile.
A white SUV placed at the main entrance immediately attracted Lu Chen's attention.
The shape of this car is very good, the appearance is majestic yet exquisite, the split front face and the curved headlights are perfectly integrated, giving people a feeling of power.
Li Feiyu recognized it at a glance: "Zhonghua X7? This new car is already on the market!"
The two stopped in front of the new car, and immediately a salesperson from the 4S store came over and warmly introduced it to them.
This Zhonghua X7 is a new urban SUV just launched by Zhonghua Motors. It is an environment-friendly gasoline-electric hybrid, which integrates a number of latest technologies and has a high technical content.
In addition to the efficient and fuel-efficient power system, its configuration is also very good, with front and rear radars, intelligent cruise control, on-board computer, panoramic sunroof, leather seats, etc., and the interior space is spacious enough.
The biggest feature of the gasoline-electric hybrid is fuel-efficient, and the fuel consumption per 100 kilometers is very low. Of course, there is a gap between the power performance and the traditional power, but Lu Chen neither drives nor goes off-road, and it is sufficient for running in the city.
The most important thing is that the safety configuration of this car is in place, the frame is strong and material, and it is equipped with six airbags.
If Lu Xi drove it, he would be at ease.
In addition, among domestically produced cars, Zhonghua is a well-known brand, and its quality has always been reliable.
As for the price, it is 190,000 to 290,000 according to different configurations.
Li Feiyu was full of praise for this new car, and Lu Chen was also very satisfied, so he asked the salesperson to arrange a test drive and drove the Zhonghua X7 around the Auto City.
When driving back to the 4S store, Lu Xi also came over.
My sister doesn't have any requirements for the car, as long as Lu Chen likes it, she and Li Feiyu bargained together.
Lu Chen finally decided to buy a model with a comfortable configuration. After the subsidy, the bare car price was 245,000. In the end, the car price was not low, but the 4S shop gave away an additional 20,000 worth of interior decoration and services, as well as small gifts.
The whole vehicle plus insurance and purchase tax and other expenses, the landing price is 263,000.
I paid by swiping my card on the spot, got insurance and a temporary license plate, and picked up a new car from the 4S shop directly.
Taking time out in the middle, the three of them had a late lunch together.
The color of the car body was white. Lu Xi was satisfied with everything else except that he was a little worried that it would get dirty easily.
The three of them drove this new car when they went back together.
The driver was Li Feiyu. Seeing that he liked this car very much, Lu Chen generously gave up the right to be the first driver.
Li Feiyu drove his new car up the elevated highway in high spirits, and said, "Dachen, now that you have a studio and a car, you can consider buying a house in the capital. How can a big star live in an office!"
Lu Chen gave up the single apartment he rented to his sister, and he has been living in the studio.
He planned to find another small apartment near the park to live in.
As for buying a house...
Lu Chen smiled wryly, "It's really unaffordable to buy a house in the capital now, let's talk about it in a few years."
His first consideration is to pay off all the family's debts, and buying a house is really a long time away.
Although Lu Chen is making a lot of money now, according to his own estimation, if there is no accident, it will take at least next year or two years to pay off the debts of the family.
But compared to the despair that lasted a lifetime before, now it is a great happiness.
As for buying a house, the house in Beijing is the highest in the country, and the average price is almost breaking through the sky.
He just earned more than one million yuan. Even if he didn't have to use all of it to buy a house, he could just buy a bedroom if he chose a new house with a better location. The down payment is not enough!
It is said that the biggest dream of many third- and fourth-tier celebrities is to save enough money to buy a house in the fifth ring road of Beijing.
The income of third- and fourth-tier artists is not too bad, but the usual expenses are also high, and buying a house is really a luxury.
Li Feiyu sighed: "Yes, the house is too expensive, I have to go home sooner or later."
Lu Chen smiled and said, "Should I take Miss Xiaomei back with me?"
Li Feiyu laughed.
Since Chen Xiaomei started to work in the studio, Li Feiyu's pursuit seems to be somewhat fruitful.
Talking, laughing and running all the way, it seemed that they were about to arrive at the park.
At this moment, Lu Chen's phone rang.
It was Chen Jianhao who called, and he asked Lu Chen to go to a teahouse in the university town.
So Lu Chen asked Li Feiyu to drive to the studio first, and then drove to the place Chen Jianhao said by himself.
It was already 2pm when we found the place.
