Hello. I am Wang He, the president of Qinhuangdao Piano Art Association. May I ask about the title?" Looking at the cute girl, Wang He's eyes lit up. He asked politely.
"Oh. President Wang. Hello. Just call me Xiaoling. Lu just told me. Come in." Xiaoling said, opening the door.
"Okay. I'm really annoying you." Wang He and Ling were politely greeting Zhang and the workers and came in.
"Lu Wei? Why does this name sound so familiar?" Looking at Xiaoling and Wang He walking in front of him desperately recalling the name Lu Wei.
A melodious and smooth piano sound came from the living room. Wang He could tell at once that it was the small quick-pitched part of Beethoven's "Pathitic" sonata.
"Master level." Although Wang's piano level is average, his ears are not vague. This song is definitely beyond the level of the 10th level of the professional piano exam of the Central Conservatory of Music. The other party's performance is not only clear and accurate in syntax, but also a faint sense of calmness and grandness that the master is unique to. Wang He also likes this song very much. He often plays a short piece in front of students and clients to show his level. However, when he heard the sound of the piano today, Wang He realized that compared to the person playing, the sound he played was simply noise.
Everyone entered the guest. The sound of the piano came to an abrupt end. Wang He only saw a beautiful black grand piano in the center of the living room. A young man in a light gray sweater was facing his back to him. The moment he turned around | Wang He couldn't help but shout because. He finally remembered who the young man in front of him was.
As a person in the steel ring, Wang He will certainly not forget that more than two years ago, a young man praised as a "genius" won the championship in the China International Piano Competition and even started an entertainment company at a young age. He was named the "original machine". Later, he went to study in the United States and shone in the sports world and broke several world records in succession. However, I don't know why the "genius"'s steel level has declined greatly and was gradually forgotten by the media and people.
Because he was from Qinhuangdao, although He had never met Lu Wei several times, he was quite impressed by this name and was on TV, newspapers and magazines at that time. Wang He did not look like Lu Wei at all. So as soon as he met today, Wang immediately recognized it.
"Oh, it's Lu Wei. Haha. I said that when Xiaoling just heard your name sound so familiar, it turns out that it's really you." Wang He walked up to greet him enthusiastically.
"Oh, President Wang, Mr. Kong called me yesterday and said he wanted to lend me this piano for use. Why? Are you moving it now?" Lu Wei stood up and smiled and said. Lu Wei didn't feel much disgusted with Wang He's familiarity.
"I didn't expect that I'm not busy or busy. I really didn't expect that I actually met the pride of us Qinhuangdao people today. I've been thinking about who it is? I didn't expect that it was you, the piano genius." Wang He slapped his butt over and thought to himself: "It seems that the rumors in the outside world are a bit inaccurate. Just like the piano I just heard, can it be said that the level of the piano has greatly declined? I think it's better than before."
"Haha. What a genius. It's all the past. Come on. Come on. Xiaoling. Go and get some water." Lu Wei greeted everyone.
"No, Lu Wei, don't bother. Look, we come to you to borrow it. It's a shame. Otherwise, there's really nothing I can do about it this time. I won't find you here either." Wang He was just talking politely. But Yu Guang saw Zhang, the manager of the Ant Moving who came with him, with a look of something wrong. When he first entered the living room, Wang found that Zhang was staring at the piano. But at that time he was just chatting with Lu, and he didn't care about him. He just looked at Zhang. Wang He found that his face was full of surprise and excitement.
Wang He was about to ask what was going on. Zhang Yiran turned around. Lu Wei asked excitedly: "Mr. Lu. If I read correctly, is this piano a commemorative version of Stanway designed by the British Royal Academy painter Almatadema?"
"Oh. Do you know the almatadema piano?" Lu Wei asked happily when he heard Zhang call out the name of the piano.
"I know. Steinway was founded in 1853. He has always adhered to the purpose of "making the best piano". He has continuously searched for creative inspiration around the world and produced many famous art pianos, including this grand piano designed by the British Royal Academy painter Almatadema. This piano was sold at Christie Auction in 1997 for an auction price of up to 100,000 US dollars. Mr. Lu. Did I say that?" Zhang was excited and even his voice was trembling.
"I didn't expect the piano to be so researchy. But you
I can be sure that this one I designed by Almatadema. What about | Products?" Lu Wei asked with a smile. He was becoming more and more interested in the manager of this handling company.
"I started working on pianos professionally since seven years ago. It's not that I boast. In addition to the new miscellaneous pianos that have been released in the past two years, I just need to take a look at some of the more famous piano brands. It is said that the piano designed by Almatadema later copied 50 units. The average selling price is no less than 700,000 US dollars. However, the imitation products should not be like this.
". Zhang pointed to the center of the keys above. There is a very artistic signature.
"This is the autograph of almatadema. It is definitely not a reprint. With this mark, I am sure that this piano is the one designed by almatadema. Mr. Lu. Am I right?" Zhang said, looking towards Lu Wei. He found that the other party was looking at him with a smile on his face.
"Not bad. I didn't expect you to be so careful." Lu Wei exclaimed sincerely.
"You have been too proud. But you just like these works of art." Zhang said, and his eyes began to linger on the piano again. Although it was a black body, it looked closely. There were many exquisite and elegant dark patterns on it. Against the backdrop of the sun, it exuded a breathtaking beauty.
"Lu Wei. This piano. '100,000 US dollars?" Wang He asked in a trembling voice after hearing the conversation between Zhang and Lu Wei just now.
"That was the price at the Risti auction house in 1997. The timeless buyer is not me. Haha. This was bought by a duke from a country. After all, I finally gave up my love. 1.5 million pounds were asked to get me back." Lu Wei said with some recollection. When he was still at Curtis, he was dragged to a party by Xue Ni to attend a party. As a result, because he was at that duke's house, he glanced at the piano a few more times. I don't know what he said to the duke. He sold the piano to himself with a look of pain. At that time, Xue Ni said that he gave it to him. He also insisted on buying it. As a result, when he found out the price, he almost scared himself. Although he bought the piano in the end, Daffon Records paid his "Daydream" series to him, he spent all the rewards. He also paid a lot of money.
After coming out, the duke really liked this piano very much. He repeatedly told Lu Wei to keep it well. He also specially booked a plane for transporting it over. However, the tone of this piano is really great. Lu Wei also likes to collect famous pianos. Now Stanway alone has three or four of them. There are some other famous brand steels. However, Lu Wei's favorite is this piano. If Kong Xiangdong had not been his teacher, Lu Wei would never have been able to lend this piano.
"1.5 million pounds." Hearing Lu Wei say this number casually, both Wang Hezhang and the workers who came to carry the piano, their hearts twitched violently. This is more than 17 million yuan. God. This Wei is really not ordinary rich.
Looking at the piano in front of him, Wang He began to wonder if it was a mistake for him to come to the piano. Kong Xiangdong's concert is important, but how much rent will he have to pay for such a piano? If something unexpected happened during the transportation process, Wang He couldn't even think about it. Although he was not very good at this series of pianos, he just heard what he meant just now. This piano is just like this. Even imitation costs 700,000 US dollars. This original version.
After considering it, He Yu decided to ignore his face and express his concerns.
"Lu Wei. I didn't expect this piano to be so expensive. I wonder how much it costs to rent it for a day?" Wang He said, looking at Lu Wei nervously, for fear that Lu Wei would have to ask for hundreds of thousands of dollars as soon as he opened his mouth. Then he would have to go bankrupt.
"Rent? What's the rent?" Lu Wei asked in confusion. Looking at Wang He's expression, he said in silence: "Haha. President Wang. This is what I borrowed from Teacher Kong to hold a concert. Moreover, I will participate. The rent is not needed. Just ask the masters to be careful when carrying it. Just don't just spend the piano."
"Don't rent?" Wang He was stunned by this huge surprise. After reacting, he quickly said a lot of words of thanks to Lu Wei. He then promised to protect Qin.
However, when he ordered Zhang to ask the workers and masters to be accurate, Zhang waved his hand.
