Perhaps it was to bring the relationship between the two closer, or perhaps just to tell Fang Zhao the story behind the brand "naz", Nate Woods's gentle voice sounded in the room.
"In our family, our ancestors followed the general Wu Yan and made a lot of contributions after recovering Yanzhou. At the time of Genesis, that elder was awarded the rank of major general, and he was also the first batch of antique collectors in Genesis, the Yanzhou Collectors Association and Yanzhou. The museum was mobilized and built by his old man... "
Nati Woods first mentioned their family history, in order to tell Fang Zhao that their family is still very reliable. "Although this brand is still very young, it has a solid foundation of strength.
Fang Zhao recalled it carefully, and he was really impressed by the elder who followed Wu Yan to recover Yanzhou mentioned by Nati Woods. It was when he was leading people to recover a certain war zone. The reason why he remembered it was because the kid liked to collect things, and collected a lot of things that were not needed, especially some things left over from the old century. At that time The war is not over yet, and no one can predict what will happen in the future. Except for some daily supplies and equipment, most people will not pay attention to other items, but the child is different and seems to have a collection habit.
When Fang Zhao first met the elder of Natty Woods, the elder of Natty Woods was still very young, only in his early twenties. In the eyes of Fang Zhao at the time, he was a child, who was really born in The era of extinction grows in the era of extinction.
Nati Woods didn't know what Fang Zhao was thinking, and continued to call the other party: "Speaking of which, after the Genesis, the martyrs' cemetery was repaired, and the government moved the remains of the martyrs scattered in various places. When Fang Zhao was buried, the old man also participated. Woolen cloth."
Nate Woods usually speaks very little on weekdays. He used to speak very slowly when talking to Fang Zhao, but when he talked about some gossip about antiques, he suddenly became interested, and he spoke a lot faster than usual. very different.
Realizing that what he said just now is easy to misunderstand, Nati Woods quickly explained: "I'm not talking about you, don't get me wrong, I'm talking about the leader of the era, the martyr Fang Zhao."
Fang Zhao: "...I know. You continue to say." He knew that Naty Woods must have a purpose when he mentioned moving the tomb, and he also wanted to know why Naty Woods specifically mentioned the tomb of "Martyr Fang Zhao".
"Everyone in our family has the blood of collectors. The old man likes to collect, and he usually treasures the things he collects, but when the martyr Fang Zhao was buried, he put several collections that he cherished very much in it. , it seems to be some gems or something. It is said that they are things from two or three thousand years ago. With the current market, they can sell for a lot of money. In the black market, any piece can be sold for sky-high prices. Not only his old man, but also There are many people who have done the same thing as the old man, people from Yanzhou and people from other continents."
Probably because he usually talks too little, Nate Woods just said it for a short while, and he has already had two cups of tea, but he is in high spirits, not showing any irritability, but lowering his voice and continuing to gossip with Fang Zhao. After all, it is about the leaders of the era of extinction. Even if there is no third person here besides him and Fang Zhao, out of respect, they dare not talk about it loudly.
"The martyr Fang Zhao sacrificed before the Genesis, because of the conditions at that time, the ashes were kept after cremation until the end of the war and the cemetery was built. In the central cemetery, the first row of tombs, although the martyrs Fang Zhao's The tomb came in second, but in fact, there were more funerary objects in his cemetery than others. What I said might be a little disrespectful to the martyrs, but from a collector's point of view, the value of the funerary objects alone Speaking of which, the tomb of the martyr Fang Zhao is the most valuable, and it is also the most closely watched place by tomb robbers.”
As a descendant of collectors, even if Natie Woods is not as interested in other antiques as guitars, but after all, those are antiques, and it will still be itchy.
Smash it, smash it, Nati Woods sighed, "In the cemetery of the martyr Fang Zhao, how many valuable funerary items are placed, and what are they put there, no one knows, the people who know are long gone, and the images of that year are also gone. I won't record it, only the notes left by some people who participated at the time may vaguely mention one or two points. Anyway, up to now, no one knows how many things are in the tomb of the martyr Fang Zhao. , is the ultimate goal of all tomb robbers. Therefore, we have more tomb keepers in Yanzhou than in other continents, and even the cemetery in Huangzhou is not comparable to this.
Fang Zhao: "..." Should he laugh or cry
"Although the tombstone of the martyr Fang Zhao ranks second in the core area, whether it is extremists or tomb robbers, they always like to attack his tomb, and in recent years, some people with bad intentions have deliberately released news, saying that those There are only historical images and precious antiques without real objects. They were all put into the tomb of the martyr Fang Zhao as a funeral object. People with brains would not believe this. There are so many antiques, and many of them have been determined by the archaeological team to have been destroyed in the era of extinction. How could they still be placed in the cemetery? Unfortunately, many people go to dig the tomb because of the money, and they deserve to be shot and killed by the tomb guard. , and also served as a pathfinder for some people."
Seeing that Fang Zhao seemed to be thinking about something, Nati Woods said nervously: "Don't think about it, the tomb guards in the cemetery are not decorations, they can shoot and kill suspicious people, and besides, robbing the tombs of martyrs is punishable by law. No less than 100 people are sentenced to death every year for intent to rob a tomb.”
Fang Zhao: "...Don't worry, I don't want to rob a tomb." He was just curious and wanted to see what was buried in his tomb. Is it an antique from a cemetery
Nate Woods glanced at Fang Zhao suspiciously, "It's fine if you don't."
He mentioned these to first arouse Fang Zhao's favor. Humans will always worship heroes, especially young people, not to mention those with the same name and surname. Young people in the new century always have a stronger adoration for those martyrs with the same name and surname. He also knew that Fang Zhao was not easy to persuade, but he was still young after all. He talked about the deeds of so many martyrs Fang Zhao, and also about his ancestors, and then looked at Fang Zhao's apparent listening. Woods smiled in his heart, there is a play!
After talking about his ancestors, Nate Woods slowed down and mentioned his parents and himself.
Nate Woods' mother was a businessman, owner of a chain of hotels, and after a rich man. His father, a professor of archaeology at Yanzhou University, belongs to the academic school and holds an important position in the highest cultural administrative organ in Yanzhou.
Therefore, Natie Woods' exhibition has been relatively smooth since he was a child. He was escorted by his parents, not to say that it was completely smooth, but compared to those who have no foundation, it is much better.
Natty Woods was hooked when he first saw his dad and an archaeological team bring an antique electric guitar from a ruin when he was six years old. Really "love at first sight". Lun talent, Nati Woods also has it, otherwise there are so many people who play bullets, but there are only three of them in the world to become masters.
At the age of 22, he participated in an ancient musical instrument competition and became famous in the first battle. After that, he started his brilliant career. At that time, Natty Woods was really in the limelight, and the real world's number one playing master. Twenty years later, Dimini became famous, and Nati Woods became one of the two major bombers in the world. A few years later, Likas also popped up, and the number of recognized masters in the world has become three, until now.
Even if there are other people with good playing skills, they are still a little worse than the three.
But Nate Woods has always regretted, because he has never been able to win some of the most valuable awards in the industry. In terms of artistic achievements, he is indeed inferior to those who have won awards. To this end, the father of the Natty Woods Department of Culture also talked to him a few times.
Now, at his age, Naty Woods has experienced a lot of things, and he has seen it. His artistic achievements are not high, so he is not high. At least he is one of the three major bombs in the world, and he will leave a legacy in history.
Natty Woods and the others who play playing belong to the skill school. Although it cannot be said that "degree" is music, many people who are not interested in ancient musical instruments like to watch this kind of performance very much. Therefore, in terms of popularity, Natty Woods Not weaker than those who won awards at all, on the contrary, the number of fans outnumbers them. This was the choice his father had told him earlier. Whichever way you choose, you will gain some and lose some.
After that, when he got older and couldn't keep up with his physical fitness, Nate Woods stopped performing in public, but instead used his background, connections, and popularity to become a businessman. Open a shop, set up a company, and create a "naz" ancient musical instrument brand.
"naz" is based on the name of Nati Woods, the brand logo is a capital "z", and the slash in the middle of the "z" is composed of six strings.
The six-string electric guitar is the most commonly used by Natty Woods, but the "naz" brand produces four-string, seven-string, eight-string, twelve-string and other different models and painted pianos. In addition to acoustic guitars, folk, classical, and bass guitars are also produced.
If you want to make the brand bigger, of course, high-end customization business is indispensable. Likas's guitar is 18 strings, and Dimini's has more, so there will be some local fans who follow the trend to customize the same model. But on the brand logo, Natty Woods still used six strings. The ancient electric guitar he saw for the first time was six strings. As for the position of the piano in his heart, he also uses six strings himself, and the pen in the middle of the "z" on the brand logo is also six strings.
The first time we met, when I played the piano with Fang Zhao, Nati Woods had an idea. After checking the information of Fang Zhao, I saw Fang Zhao's strength and development potential in the music creation circle. The most important thing is that he I saw the electric guitar instruction video that Fang Zhao watched on the Internet and was watched by people from all over the world. It was called "the most formal ancient electric guitar operation instruction" by some senior ancient musical instrument masters, because the background of the video is "etetaz" brand, The "z"-shaped logo on the guitar is very conspicuous, and the number of people ordering "naz" guitars online has suddenly increased during the day. This made Natie Woods see a business opportunity.
"I have something to hide from you. Before you came here, I originally planned to play a paragraph, and I would put it on the Internet. There is no insider trading at all. It is all based on your strength. But now, I have changed my mind. This video is not available online now, and at the same time, I hope that within a year, you don't play with this degree in other public places."
Nati Woods looked at Fang Zhao apologetically, with sincere eyes, "I will give more compensation, we can make a deal on this matter."
"The reason?" Fang Zhao asked.
Because Nati Woods talked too much at once, his voice became more hoarse, but he didn't mean to stop, and sighed: "Before this, I thought that there would be a fourth master of playing, and the three will become four. Great, but after you played it, I knew, I was terribly wrong."
There are many people who can play the broken strings, but those who want to stop at the first time when the strings change at that level, so far, Naty Woods only knows Fang Zhao!
"If you really come forward, the world will no longer be the three masters, nor the four, but only one! Me, Likas, Dimini, all three will be the past! I no longer perform publicly, The number one or three masters in the world, the influence is not big anymore, on the contrary, I am happy to see you replace me and replace others to become the new masters. I know that Dimini, he rarely gives concerts, the whole He loves to travel everywhere, and he doesn't care too much. But! Likas's ten-year global tour has just begun. If you come out at this time, his ten-year global tour will become a joke. Likas is a man , also has a background. He still likes to hold grudges. It is not necessary to meet him. It is better to wait for him to come forward after his global tour, and the conflict will not be so intense. Of course, one of the most important reasons for me to say this is that , I owe Likas a favor. Before I officially retired from the stage, Likas and Dimini sacrificed some of their own interests during the global farewell tour to make my farewell show more perfect…”
In order to repay the favor of the year, Naty Woods is willing to use other things to call Fang Zhao and reach this agreement. This Naty Woods has no complaints.
"I don't hide it from you," Fang Zhao said, "I don't want a limit bomb, and I don't plan to publish this on the Internet."
Natty Woods: "..." So, he brought it all on himself!
However, Jian Fang Zhao didn't have this plan at all, and Nati Woods still disagreed.
"No, no, this kind of talent should not be unknown. Fang Zhao, it will only take one year. After that kid Likas's global tour is completed, I will do my best to help you ascend to the throne of the world's No. 1 bomb master! Let the world Everyone knows that without my Naty Woods, there are still people in Yanzhou who can reach the throne of the world's number one! That is the world's number one, Fang Zhao, you can't imagine how many eyes will be watched by sitting in that position, there will be How many lights are on you! By then, you, my 'naz' brand, will be known to people all over the world!"
Nati Woods said that he was excited, stood up, and painted a grand blueprint with a hoarse voice. He believed that no one could resist the temptation of "world number one"! Even when he mentions "world number one" and thinks of his most brilliant years, he can't help but be excited, not to mention Fang Zhao, who is only in his early twenties and has just graduated from school for two years
Unexpectedly, Nati Woods' voice was hoarse and his face was shaking, but when he turned his head, he saw Fang Zhao calmly poured him a cup of tea and pushed him, "moisten your throat."
Natty Woods: "...Can't you give me a reaction?"
Fang Zhao looked at him suspiciously.
"Number one in the world!" Naty Woods said through gritted teeth.
"I know."
Natty Woods: "… "
After staring at Fang Zhao for a few seconds, Nati Woods put away the excited look on his face, sat back on the sand chair, stared at Fang Zhao inquiringly, and asked, "You don't want to cooperate? Don't want to cooperate with me? I can do it for you. Sponsor the show. It doesn't take a year. We can start preparing now. I can use all the contacts I have to help you arrange it. When the time comes, as soon as Likas's global tour is over, you will be the number one in the world. Don't just count on Silver Wing!"
Fang Zhao didn't change his face under the oppressive gaze of Nati Woods, but said calmly: "I also know that it is a good choice to cooperate with you in this regard."
Naty Woods' expression softened a little, but he was also waiting for the "but" behind Fang Zhao.
"But," Fang Zhao looked directly at Nate Woods, "I'm going to serve next year."
Natty Woods: "… "
Once again, Naty Woods' face with vicissitudes had a cracked look, and it was almost a voice squeezed out of his teeth: "Military service? You have graduated for more than a year, and you haven't served yet?!"
There is really no way to get around the matter of serving. Even if it is for the future, you can't play fake military service. At most, you can use your relationship to serve in a more relaxed place.
When he was checking Fangzhao's information, he really didn't pay attention to whether to serve or not, and he didn't even think about the word "military service" when he planned his future affairs.
A military service can delay his plan for more than a year, which is still short. If something happens in the middle, it may be delayed for a longer time. If it is unlucky, it may not be implemented at all!
"I can help you arrange." Natie Woods began to think about who to ask for help.
"Thank you, but I already have a plan."
"Yes, how can Silver Wing help you here." Natie Woods felt a little relieved, if Silver Wing arranged it, nothing major would happen. But he was not completely relieved. Even if Fang Zhao pointed out the problem, his plan would not be completed.
"Be sure to protect your hands!"
Nati Woods repeatedly told Fang Zhao to pay attention to his hands and not hurt a single finger.
"I try my best." Fang Zhao can only answer.
Even if Natie Woods is angry, there is nothing he can do. The uncertainty of military service is too great. For others, even if a finger is broken, it can be repaired with the current medical technology, but Natie Woods also knows that for extreme ammunition As far as people are concerned, even if the broken finger is repaired, it may not be able to reproduce the previous effect. Even if it can, the time it will take to wait is uncertain.
Mind blowing!
Nati Woods wanted to put the video of Fang Zhao's play on it now, but he still sighed in dejection when he remembered Likas's help back then.
Forget it, the world's first bomb or something, let's move back. However, this does not mean that he has changed his plan to ask Fang Zhao to speak.
"Playing things aside, we can actually work together in other ways now. How's your acoustic guitar skills?" Nate Woods asked.
"Alright." Fang Zhao said.
Nati Woods raised his eyebrows, "That's good." He wasn't used to playing that anyway. If Fang Zhao could play it, it would be fine.
He had already made preparations.
Even if Nati Woods is one of the three major playing masters, after all, not everyone likes his style, and his influence is rapidly declining. Those who really want to play ancient musical instruments may not necessarily like electroacoustic instruments. The market, especially the market of school students, has long planned to expand the production of a number of folk guitars.
Elementary and middle school are interested in courses. University is more free and there are many clubs. In this market, Nate Woods does not intend to give up. Although he likes electric guitar, he is also a businessman. He cannot ask others to have the same preferences as him.
"I've seen the instruction video of your electric guitar on the Internet. Before that, I planned to open a training class on the Internet, and the instructor also invited a few. However, it would be better if you could come. I can give you 70% of the course subscription fee and the reward fee, how about that? Oh, yes, I also invested in an urban campus movie you are making with Silver Wing. The actor in it is carrying folk songs all day long. The guitar is pretentious, and if the filming is good, it may lead to a wave of retro school craze.”8
